Chapter 47 047 ...Removing the soaked clothes
This pill?
Lin Wan was stunned for a moment, then her dizzy mind went blank for a moment, as if a thunderbolt had struck.
She really wanted to cry, and hurriedly explained, "What medicine? I've never seen it before, Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense."
"On the night of the lantern festival, you left in the pavilion in the courtyard," Xie Huaiyuan said softly, as if he were talking about something extremely ordinary, but it made Lin Wan's heart race and her breath catch in her throat.
She had never regretted buying the brocade box of eyebrow medicine that night as much as she did now. If she had known earlier that he would expose her like this, she would have thrown the box and the medicine inside far away, as if it had never existed.
Xie Huaiyuan ignored her explanations, picked up the pill he was holding between his fingers, and brought it to her nose, saying gently, "Since Wanwan can't remember what kind of medicine this is, why don't you try it for me and see what it is?"
"No, you can't taste it..."
Unable to struggle to sit up in bed, Lin Wan watched as the pill with its strong, exotic fragrance approached her and was about to be put into her mouth. She couldn't help but cry out, "Your Highness, no!"
Lin Wan had no choice but to reach out and stop him, his hand holding the medicine stopped just in front of her.
"It seems you remember what this is. Why don't you tell me, Wanwan, where did this come from?"
"I...forgot..."
Such a casual remark, upon hearing Xie Huaiyuan's words, was like kindling thrown into a raging fire, instantly igniting the sinister intent hidden deep within his heart.
She's clearly hiding something and doesn't want to talk about it.
Xie Huaiyuan stared intently at her, his throat tightening.
"Is it because of Gu Qinghe?"
His tone was chilling, yet tinged with a light laugh, causing Lin Wan's pupils to shrink.
"What does this have to do with anyone else?" Lin Wan said helplessly, crying as she admitted defeat. "It's mine, so this thing is mine, Your Highness. Are you satisfied now? I will clean it up properly and it won't get in your way. Please let me go."
It was only that day, when she saw Xie Huaiyuan walking with Princess Zhaoyi, that she was so angry that she impulsively bought this box of eyebrow medicine. But now it's all her fault.
Xie Huaiyuan's eyes were bloodshot, and there was a hint of madness in his gaze. His knees were pressed against the bed, trapping her legs.
"Wanwan, you're really wicked. You promised to be with me, so why are you leaving now?" Xie Huaiyuan ignored Lin Wan's crying and continued, "Originally, I thought I would lock you up with chains so you wouldn't leave easily and I could keep your promise to never be separated from me. But you've tried to leave again and again. Don't you want to stay by my side at all?"
He lowered his head slightly and moved closer. Lin Wan subconsciously moved deeper into the bed, but he reached out and grabbed her, not allowing her to back down. Her delicate fingertips were soft and tender, and compared to the man's strength, she had no power to resist or resist.
Iron chains?
Lin Wan was so shocked that she stopped crying. "No, Your Highness, I won't run away. I promise I won't run away again."
Xie Huaiyuan smiled and gently touched her hands that were bracing against him, as if to comfort her, before whispering, "Then Wanwan, can you tell me what this is?"
"Yes..." Lin Wan hesitated, unable to speak directly. This person seemed very strange, and she dared not be honest; what if...?
Xie Huaiyuan: "Could it be poison?"
No, it's not.
Xie Huaiyuan leaned down slightly, facing Lin Wan, his bloodshot eyes staring intently at her like some evil thing.
“Since Wanwan is worried and afraid that this is poison, then let me try it with you. If we die, it will fulfill your promise to stay with me forever, through life and death, and never be separated.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Huaiyuan curled the pill between his fingers with the tip of his tongue, put it in his mouth, leaned over and covered it with his own, forcefully refusing to let it fall.
Lin Wan was completely unable to resist; his downcast face was reflected in her astonished and terrified eyes.
With his lips pressed against the wooden frame, Xie Huaiyuan frowned, his slightly hoarse voice filled with displeasure as he said, "Open your mouth."
Forced to accept, she couldn't move her hands. Under Xie Huaiyuan's forceful advances, she had no choice but to open her lips. Instantly, Xie Huaiyuan's tongue swept over her, and a rich, exotic fragrance wafted over. Caught off guard, she was forced to swallow it all.
Lin Wan was so breathless from the kiss that she blushed deeply, her mind went completely blank, and she had to tilt her head back slightly to get more air. She let go and gasped for breath.
A strange and indescribable longing, like thick smoke rising, exploded in my mind.
Lin Wan instantly regained her senses. She knew what this was, but Xie Huaiyuan might not.
She raised her hand and braced herself between the two men, trying to create as much distance as possible, and gasped, "Your Highness, no, that wasn't poison, it was..."
"...I recognize the Western Region script on the brocade box."
Lin Wan looked up at him, her mind went blank for a moment, and then she suddenly realized what he meant. In an instant, she understood that he was taking the opportunity to molest her. How despicable!
She tried to push him away, but Xie Huaiyuan remained unmoved. Instead, he intercepted her hands, grabbed her wrists, and lifted them above her head.
“When I first entered the court as an official, I was in charge of taking over the envoys from the Western Regions. As a result, I was not only proficient in the languages of the Western Regions, but also able to communicate smoothly with the envoys. Therefore, I already knew what was in the brocade box that day.”
"Get out of my way!"
hateful!
Shameless!
How can there be such hypocritical people in the world!
Damn it!
She raised her hand to try to break free, but was instead held immobile by an even stronger restraint.
Their clothes, soaked by the rain, were indistinguishable, intertwined and messy. Even the brocade quilt on the bed was damp and stuffy.
Lin Wan was restrained and unable to move. Her already disheveled clothes had somehow come loose from the waist belt, and the man above her had a sinister and piercing gaze.
His breath was ragged, his eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze was fixed intently on her.
He had anticipated such signs the moment he took the medicine.
The two were so close together that not only he, but even Lin Wan's cheeks flushed slightly. She clearly felt something unusual and wanted to move away, to get away from that strange heat.
Perhaps it is true, as the woman from the Western Regions said, that this item can help lovers become even more inseparable.
Yet, the woman before him was delicate and frail, and a faint, sweet fragrance wafted into Xie Huaiyuan's nostrils. His Adam's apple bobbed repeatedly, and the burning sensation within him was almost unbearable.
His breathing was accompanied by the soft sound of his Adam's apple sliding down, like a sweet spider web silently covering and falling.
The hanging bed curtains swayed and fluttered, and the sound of a woman crying gradually emerged from the rustling noises.
The next moment, the bed curtains were suddenly thrown open, and Xie Huaiyuan, his face flushed, got up with a gloomy expression. As he walked, he straightened his disheveled clothes and strode towards the closed door of the inner room.
"Go in and look after her."
Liu Ye, who was guarding outside the inner room, naturally heard the commotion inside. At this moment, she dared not look up, for fear of seeing something she shouldn't, and could only lower her head and say, "Understood."
The bed was in a mess, and Liu Ye saw that her clothes were also disheveled.
Lin Wan stared blankly at the top of the bed canopy, the image of him getting up and leaving flashing through her mind.
Rapid breathing, movements abruptly halted.
Amidst her soft sobs, he stopped probing, sighed helplessly, and abruptly got up and left.
Lin Wan ignored the dampness of her clothes, unable to tell whether it was from rain or sweat, and wrapped herself tightly in the brocade quilt that Xie Huaiyuan had covered her with before leaving.
He let out a long sigh.
Although Liu Ye was inexperienced, as a maid and a confidante, she knew what the commotion just now meant.
She stood considerately outside the hanging bed curtains, not looking up to peek inside rashly, but lowered her head and asked softly, "Miss, would you like some water to bathe in?"
After a long while, a weak and delicate voice could be heard from inside.
"want."
Lin Wan could clearly feel the heat surging within her body, and she quickly added, "Prepare some cool water, a lot of it."
On the other side of the courtyard, in the inner room with the door tightly closed.
I could faintly hear the sound of water.
Xie Huaiyuan plunged headfirst into the cold water of the bathtub, and only after a moment did he resurface, splashing water all over the surrounding floor.
Almost half of the water in the bathtub spilled onto the floor, revealing his broad, muscular chest. The splashing water vapor dampened his fallen black hair, and his forehead was covered in beads of sweat.
Not enough, still not enough!
Xie Huaiyuan chuckled self-deprecatingly, realizing he had underestimated the potency of this Western Region medicine.
He had almost swallowed it all himself before bending down to kiss her, and even so, he could clearly sense that she was tainted with some of the drug, which was why he was so aroused.
With a "whoosh".
The water in the bathtub splashed out again.
He tilted his head slightly, resignedly reaching out to raise his hand again.
Ripples spread continuously across the water's surface.
After a long while, a deep, dark look appeared in his slightly narrowed eyes, and then the surface of the water in the bucket began to sway and rotate in circles with his movements.
His mouth was agape, and he involuntarily gasped for breath.
The rumbling thunder finally subsided, and the sky gradually darkened, as if thick ink had been splashed across it, leaving not a single cloud in sight.
Having finally calmed down after a shower, Lin Wan stood at the door of his dormitory, leaning against the door frame, gazing aimlessly at the scenery of the courtyard.
The rain had stopped, and everything was damp. Perhaps it was the lingering chill of spring, but the wind blowing at that moment carried a coldness, and Lin Wan couldn't help but shiver.
Suddenly, she felt a warmth as a cozy cloak was wrapped around her.
When Lin Wan saw it was him, she opened her mouth slightly, but then didn't know what to say.
"Although it's already spring, the weather hasn't warmed up anytime soon, so please remember to wear more clothes and don't catch a cold."
She didn't look at Xie Huaiyuan's expression, but instead looked down at the shadows of the two people on the ground cast by the candlelight in the room.
If she said she wasn't angry, she would be lying to her conscience. Lin Wan knew in her heart that she was extremely angry with this person.
But when she glanced at the cloak he had draped over her, she felt a little warm inside.
All the fear, anxiety, and shame that had just happened have now turned into endless sighs.
Lin Wan knew that if he didn't want to stop, she would have been powerless to resist the signs just now. However, even at the very last moment, he was willing to stop and not continue to make things difficult for her, which slightly touched her.
Xie Huaiyuan: "Don't leave, just stay by my side, okay?"
