Without time to think, Consort An tugged at Qingxi's sleeve, signaling him to walk into the Imperial Garden. The garden was full of flowers, trees, and shrubs; they could find a secluded place to hide.
As long as they are not discovered by the Emperor, they can escape this calamity.
Seeing Consort An's actions, Qingxi understood her meaning. However, after taking two steps, neither of them had any strength left. They had no choice but to support each other and walk further in.
The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers, but the two were only focused on hiding and being discovered, so they had no time to appreciate the scent.
Qingxi, with his sharp eyes, spotted a cluster of flowers ahead, with dense foliage and several trees nearby, perfect for hiding.
Pulling Anpin along, the two of them awkwardly hid behind, using the branches and leaves of flowers and trees to conceal themselves.
Consort An was filled with resentment. As a lady from a prominent family, a young lady from a wealthy household, when had she ever been in such a disheveled state?
Clutching her sleeve tightly, Consort An secretly vowed in her heart that once this matter was over, she would definitely catch the person behind it all and see who dared to frame her. She would make them pay a thousandfold.
Seeing Consort An's face clearly by the moonlight, Qingxi knew what she was thinking and felt somewhat worried.
My cousin is a spoiled and easily angered person. After being framed like this, she will definitely seek revenge.
The mastermind behind this is ruthless and meticulous; my cousin probably can't outmaneuver her.
After this incident, Qingxi gained a clearer understanding of the dangers of the inner palace, and her worries about Consort An gradually increased.
Although the two were hiding in the same place, their thoughts were quite different.
The longer they hid, the more unusual things became about the two of them.
Consort An sat on the grass with her arms crossed, pondering the identity of the suspect and wondering who would do such a thing to her. After much thought, she felt that Wu Yaxin was the most likely suspect.
The moon-shadow gauze dress was light and thin; although it was summer, the night breeze still made it a bit chilly.
Unbeknownst to her, Consort An felt her body temperature gradually rising, her mind becoming increasingly confused, and she felt listless, as if her brain was covered in paste, losing her ability to think.
Qingxi had been paying attention to the movements around him, and he soon noticed that Consort An's condition was not quite right. He leaned over and asked in a low voice with concern.
"Cousin, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
At this point, Consort An was already delirious. She vaguely heard someone asking her questions, and she wanted to answer, but she just couldn't muster the energy.
Not hearing a reply, Qingxi disregarded everything else and reached out to grab Consort An's shoulder, wanting to see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, Consort An suddenly made a move, wrapping her arms around Qingxi's neck and hugging him tightly, while uttering soft, moan-like words.
"Ah! It's hot, so hot! I'm so hot!"
Qingxi's face immediately turned bright red, and she was at a loss for what to do.
Fearing being discovered, he first covered Consort An's mouth to prevent her from making any more noise, and then used his other hand to break free from her embrace.
For some reason, Consort An was incredibly strong at this moment. Qingxi, who was under the influence of the drug, was weak in the hands and feet and had one hand covering Consort An's mouth, so she couldn't break free at all.
Consort An's face was flushed, she was delirious and felt extremely hot. After embracing Qingxi, she felt as if she were embracing an ice cube, which was very comfortable, so she held on to it for a long time.
Simply holding her wasn't enough; she felt it wasn't enough to cool her down, and gradually she began to uncontrollably twist her body.
He held the person he had long admired in his arms, and he wanted to make a move, but reason told him that he could do nothing.
The clash between reason and reality caused him immense pain, and his attempts to break free ultimately failed.
After twisting and turning for a while, Consort An was still in great discomfort, so she intensified her efforts and began to take off her clothes.
Seeing this, Qingxi was shocked and quickly tried to stop her, but gradually he also felt his body becoming increasingly out of control.
During the struggle, Consort An accidentally fell and pinned Qingxi beneath her.
Boom! It felt like fireworks exploded in my heart, one after another bursting forth.
Her cousin's lips were soft and sweet as she kissed her. Qingxi was stunned by the scene, her mind went blank, she temporarily lost her memory, and she lost the ability to think.
As the drug took effect, Qingxi's clarity of mind was gradually replaced by desire. Although he tried his best to resist, the drug's effects were too strong, and with his beloved woman present, he eventually succumbed to desire.
With a forceful roll, he pinned the woman in his arms beneath him. Qingxi held Anpin's head with his hand and kissed her lips urgently.
Under the hazy moonlight, a couple embraced tenderly amidst the flowers.
The two embraced and kissed passionately, their actions becoming increasingly intimate, and shy sounds gradually emanated from the bushes.
Qingru stood guard at the entrance, a sudden panic gripping her heart, a strong sense of fear and dread engulfing her.
In the distance, Emperor Kangxi, accompanied by Liang Jiugong and followed by only a few eunuchs, was walking towards them.
Seeing a palace maid standing at the entrance of the Imperial Garden, Kangxi felt a sense of doubt.
Liang Jiugong looked up at the person opposite him. It was a familiar face. He bowed and reported, "Your Majesty, the person standing in front is Qingru, the personal maid of Consort An."
Observing Kangxi's expression, Liang Jiugong asked, "Should I send someone to inquire why this palace maid is still here so late?"
Kangxi waved his hand, indicating his refusal, and muttered to himself.
Consort An, it's Consort An again. Last time she harmed someone, she was confined to her quarters for three months and kept quiet for a while. I wonder what she's up to this time.
Without showing it on his face, Kangxi put his hands behind his back and walked over.
Seeing this, Liang Jiugong hurriedly followed. For some reason, he felt a strange emotion. "I feel like something's not right."
He clasped his hands together and prayed silently that nothing bad would happen tonight.
"This servant greets Your Majesty!"
"You are Consort An's attendant. Why are you not serving at Changchun Palace so late, but instead standing guard at the entrance of the Imperial Garden? Is Your Highness inside?"
Kangxi walked in and asked the palace maid.
Since the Emperor didn't mention it, Qingru remained kneeling and bowing, her head lowered.
She was extremely flustered, and her voice trembled slightly when she reported to Emperor Kangxi.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is here..."
Her timid and hesitant manner struck Kangxi as suspicious. Not wanting to hear her continue, he gave Liang Jiugong a wink and strode into the Imperial Garden.
"Go, seize this palace maid!" Liang Jiugong understood, suppressed his unease, and instructed Xiao Li behind him.
Xiao Li stepped forward and restrained Qingru. Liang Jiugong did not allow the other eunuchs to follow him and entered the garden with Kangxi.
Stepping into the Imperial Garden, one is greeted by a riot of vibrant colors. Unlike its appearance during the day when the sun shines, the flowers and plants under the moonlight offer a unique and captivating beauty.
Kangxi had no interest in appreciating the beautiful scenery. He strode along the path and soon heard the moans of a woman coming from the flower bushes, accompanied by the heavy breathing of a man.
