who I am?
Where am I?
What did I do?
Qin Ge opened her eyes, and what came into view was a light gold canopy overhead, embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, luxurious and dazzling.
Several priceless luminous pearls were inlaid on the bed frame, emitting a soft, faint glow that was not dazzling yet allowed Qin Ge to clearly perceive the difference in this place.
This is not his residence, which is associated with the top scholar.
This is... the Dragon Palace?
The tyrant's palace!
Some scattered fragments flashed before Qin Ge's eyes like fleeting shadows, causing his body to stiffen slightly.
wipe.
Did he... pounce on the tyrant last night?
The thought crossed his mind, and even Qin Ge, who was usually calm and collected despite his many trials and tribulations, couldn't help but feel uneasy.
I wish it were all just a dream.
Yet, the unspeakable pain in his private parts reminded him that it was all real...
Qin Ge took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. With his sharp and intelligent mind, he quickly analyzed the current situation and soon arrived at a conclusion—
Yes.
The best solution is to pretend that nothing ever happened.
It's best to forget about it.
Having made up his mind, Qin Ge decided to get dressed and slip away before Jun Chenbi woke up, in order to avoid the awkward situation of dealing with the tyrant after he woke up.
After all, the idea of sharing a bed and spending the whole night in passion, and then waking up the next day in the same bed and lingering for a few moments, should really not happen between a ruler and his subject.
The scene was too beautiful for him to imagine.
He extended two fingers, brushed aside Jun Chenbi's arms that were wrapped around his waist, and got up from the bed. He barely managed to put on his undergarments to cover his naked body. Qin Ge was fastening his belt when a long, slender arm lazily came across from behind him. "What, the top scholar trying to run away?"
...The tyrant has awakened?
This fact almost broke Qin Ge.
He hastily fastened his belt, not caring about the neatness of his clothes. He didn't have time to put on his scarlet official robe, only wearing a snow-white, slightly wrinkled and disheveled undergarment. He knelt down, feigning panic and chaos, and said, "Your Majesty, I crossed the border last night and committed a heinous crime. I deserve to die ten thousand times over. I beg Your Majesty to grant me death!"
He didn't want to die.
But words must be said in a certain way to be considered elegant.
The emperor's voice was languid, with a hint of hoarseness: "A night of marriage is worth a hundred days of kindness. How could I bear to let you die? My dear minister, you are overthinking it. Rise."
One night as husband and wife... a hundred days of kindness...
These words left Qin Ge feeling confused.
What does "tyrant" mean?
"—Your humble servant dares not."
Instead of getting up as instructed, he lowered his head even further.
The slender neck, hidden beneath the black hair, fair and soft like the finest mutton fat jade, was thus revealed to Jun Chenbi.
There was also a very clear and bright mark on it, which Jun Chenbi vaguely remembered leaving himself.
The top scholar always wore his scarlet official robe meticulously, with the top button fastened to cover his neck and Adam's apple, so that area...
It couldn't possibly be anyone else.
The tyrant looked at the bright red marks on his top scholar's body and felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. His delicate Adam's apple bobbed, and seeing Qin Ge still kneeling on the cold ground, he felt a surge of anger that he himself was unaware of, along with a trace of heartache. "I told you to get up. This is an order."
Qin Ge sighed inwardly. Unable to gauge the tyrant's unpredictable mood, he had no choice but to obey. His legs and back were sore, and he rose very slowly...
"What's wrong? Does it hurt a lot?" The emperor reached out and helped Qin Ge up. Qin Ge looked up and saw that the emperor's brows were slightly furrowed, and his phoenix eyes were full of concern as he looked at her.
Qin Ge was about to say no.
The next second, the tyrant skillfully swept him up in his arms and said, "Let me see."
Qin Ge: "..."
He choked on Jun Chenbi's words, coughing as he said in a panicked voice, "Your Majesty, you mustn't..."
