Lanqin watched the master and servant working together, her eyelids starting to feel heavy. She said, "Princess Yehe, you should go back first. It's getting late. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
The Yehe clan members, master and servant, immediately rose, curtsied, and took their leave, demonstrating their keen understanding of the situation.
"Master, this master and servant seem to have prepared their story beforehand," Cui Niang said, watching them leave.
"You feel the same way? Go and invite Fourth Master." This was the first time Lanqin had taken the initiative to send someone to invite Fourth Master over.
When the Fourth Master arrived, Lanqin had already washed her hands and face and gotten into bed. As soon as he arrived, she had someone serve her to wash and brush her teeth. After everything was ready, the maids left.
"This is the first time you've invited me over. How come you're already in bed before I even arrive?" Fourth Master took off his shoes and began to climb onto the bed. Unlike other women, Lanqin rarely dared to get into bed before him, always standing meekly to the side waiting for Fourth Master's instructions.
"I'm tired, I'll lie down on the bed and rest for a while." Lanqin was leaning against a large cushion, closing her eyes to relax.
"How do you feel about being the mistress of the house these days, Consort?" The Fourth Prince climbed up to Lanqin's side and pulled her into his arms.
"I'm not physically tired, just mentally exhausted. Does Your Highness know that a maidservant died on Princess Yehe's side?" Lanqin raised her hand and touched the Fourth Prince's chin. "How are you feeling now, Your Highness? Are you still there?"
The Fourth Prince felt a tightness in his throat. He had been suppressing the urge and diligently taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial physicians, and thankfully, it wasn't as unbearable as before. However, at this moment, Lanqin's slightly cool little hand touched his skin, giving off a cool sensation.
Fourth Master's hand began to grope around Lanqin's waist. Lanqin had been celibate for so long, and she couldn't resist Fourth Master's teasing. She had wanted to discuss the matter of Peach Blossom Hanging with him, but obviously her willpower was not enough.
Fourth Master skillfully removed Lanqin's outer garment, his slightly dry lips beginning to kiss her hair, moving down her cheek, neck, collarbone, and finally settling on her soft breasts.
"Master!" Lanqin couldn't help but let out a groan.
Fourth Master hadn't teased Lanqin like this in a long time, and he felt he couldn't hold back any longer, so he simply pressed his head down on her.
After a period of intimate caresses, Lanqin couldn't take it anymore. The Fourth Master continued his advances, pushing Lanqin until she began to sob and beg for mercy. Well, Lanqin always felt that she and the Fourth Master weren't a good match, like they were mismatched, so she never lasted long before giving in.
"Master!!" Lanqin groaned, her face flushed with a rosy blush, not only on her face and neck, but also on her chest.
Looking at Lanqin's alluring demeanor and charming appearance, Fourth Master couldn't help but become even more aroused, sending Lanqin to the heights of climax with each thrust.
The Fourth Prince finally experienced ultimate pleasure with a woman other than Yehe Shi, which delighted him and made him no longer obsessed with that body. The Fourth Prince was extremely excited and came several times in a row, until Lanqin was almost begging for mercy before he stopped.
Fourth Master couldn't bear to stop; otherwise, if it were Yehe or any other woman, he wouldn't have stopped before he was fully satisfied.
After both of them had calmed down from the intense pleasure, they lay side by side on the bed.
"Master, please call some water. I need to wash up." Lanqin felt utterly exhausted and couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly. The Fourth Master's energy was really taking its toll!
Fourth Master called the people guarding outside. Although the maids were used to the two of them after they arrived in London, they still blushed and came in to serve him.
After washing up, Lanqin still felt utterly exhausted, as if all her energy had been drained. She lay curled up in bed, unable to open her eyes. Fourth Master followed closely behind, putting his arm around her waist and saying, "My men have already investigated. Yuhen's mother works in that kind of place, known as a prostitute. Bring her in for questioning tomorrow. Yuhen has been there several times. In addition, Nian Shi also said today that Tao Hua seemed to have seen Yuhen put something in the tea."
Lanqin hadn't expected Nian Shi to get involved in this matter, and sighed, "With Nian Gege getting involved now, this matter is becoming increasingly complicated. Does Master have a judgment in mind?"
Fourth Master said with his eyes closed, "The Yehe clan is audacious and reckless, daring to drug you. However, there is no conclusive evidence yet."
Lanqin thought about the excellent singing performance of the Yehe clan master and servant in front of her and couldn't help but say, "Peach Blossom's death is suspicious. Let's start by investigating her death."
Fourth Master nodded, but after a moment there was no sound; he had fallen asleep.
Lanqin was too sleepy to fall asleep, perhaps because she had something on her mind. She listened to the Fourth Master's even breathing and thought about the Yehe Clan's affairs until she finally drifted off to sleep in the middle of the night.
Fourth Master naturally got up early. With the Crown Prince not in the palace, he, as the acting regent, had to go to the palace to work every day. Lanqin, having slept poorly the night before, didn't wake up until late morning. Cui Niang and the others didn't dare disturb her; after all, if Lanqin hadn't slept well, she wouldn't be in a good mood all day.
"My lady, a woman has been sent over from the front courtyard. I've placed her in the room where Grape and the others live." Cui Niang helped Lanqin up, first lifting the light blue gauze curtain.
"What woman?" Lanqin stretched lazily and asked in surprise.
“They said that the master had already spoken to the concubine last night. How come the master didn’t know?” Cui Niang pulled the quilt off Lan Qin and gestured for Xi Cha and Si Hua to prepare to serve Lan Qin.
"Oh!!" Lanqin got off the bed and put her two white, lotus-root-like feet down. Sihua quickly helped Lanqin put on her shoes, while Xicha started folding the quilt behind her.
"My lord, Princess Nian has also arrived and is having tea in the main room!" Cui Niang finally emphasized.
Upon hearing this, Lanqin was momentarily stunned, thinking to herself: Sure enough, there's nothing good about being in charge of the household. I have to see people every day, one group after another, and I don't even have a chance to play!
"I haven't had breakfast yet, otherwise I won't have the energy to see anyone!" Lanqin said with a slight displeasure. In the past, if she didn't want to see anyone, she could shut herself in and live her own life. But now she can't. When people come to visit, she has no choice but to see them, otherwise she would be an incompetent head of the household.
"Don't worry, my lady, I've already had the kitchen prepare it. You can bring it in to eat after you've washed your face," Cui Niang said considerately. She knew that Lan Qin would never be able to calmly meet anyone without eating.
