Chapter 122 I will wait until the day you are willing
There was no scream from the little palace maid outside, and Concubine Chen did not pay any attention.
I was already upset, and then someone splashed water all over me, making me feel dizzy with anger.
"My lady, please go in and change your clothes first."
Concubine Chen stroked her forehead and walked towards the inner hall.
Just as she entered, she heard a thud behind her. She turned around suddenly and saw Su Tao fainted on the ground.
Concubine Chen was shocked. Before she could react, someone hit her on the back of the neck. Her vision went dark and she fainted.
……………………
It was already night when Liu Zhiyuan woke up. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw that Xiao Yu had moved a small table to the bedside at some point. He was watching over her while reviewing memorials.
Perhaps because he was afraid that lighting too many candles would be too bright and would affect her sleep, he only lit a few. Xiao Yu's face was very close to the memorials, and he handled official business in the dim candlelight.
In the dim light, his sharp features seemed to soften, with a hazy feeling, which was different from his usual sharp handsomeness.
Too dim light is very harmful to the eyes. After Xiao Yu finished dealing with a memorial, he pressed the sides of his nose, turned his head, and found that Liu Zhiyuan had woken up at some point and was looking at him with his eyes open.
Xiao Yu quickly sat down beside the bed and held her hand, "My dear, you are awake. Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Liu Zhiyuan opened his mouth, but found his throat dry and couldn't make a sound.
"water……"
The voice was very weak, but Xiao Yu heard it clearly. He quickly went over to pour a cup of warm water, gently helped Liu Zhiyuan up, and handed it to her lips.
"Drink slowly."
The warm water flowing through my dry throat finally made me feel a little better.
"Want to drink more?"
Liu Zhiyuan shook his head.
Xiao Yu put the teacup aside, held her shoulders and lay down.
He reached out and touched her forehead, then touched her face. It was icy cold, no longer the scorching heat it had been when the medicine took effect.
"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Liu Zhiyuan still shook his head.
There was indeed no discomfort, but I felt weak all over, as if someone had sucked all my energy out of me, and I was very tired.
"That's good. The doctor said that the effect of the medicine has just worn off. You will be very weak for the next two days and need to rest in bed for a few days."
Memories of the Imperial Garden returned to him. Liu Zhiyuan opened his eyes slightly, breathing faster, "I... I..."
"Um?"
Her voice was a little low, and Xiao Yu didn't hear it clearly. He leaned over and listened carefully, "What's wrong?"
"How did you get the antidote? Was it you..."
The memories before she fell into a coma slowly emerged. She remembered being bumped by a young eunuch in the imperial garden, a guard walking towards her, Ying Yi appearing in time to save her, and she also remembered clinging to Xiao Yu and asking for a kiss.
What happened next? Why don’t I have any recollection of it?
The way to get rid of the drug is to have sex with a man. Could it be that she and Xiao Yu have already...
"No, don't think too much. The imperial physician prescribed medicine, and combined it with acupuncture and bloodletting to remove the effects of the drug. I didn't touch you."
Liu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that this was her first time. If she had really had sex with someone, her body would definitely feel uncomfortable. However, apart from feeling weak, she felt nothing.
only……
Liu Zhiyuan looked at Xiao Yu with complicated eyes.
How strong Xiao Yu's desire for her was could be seen the night he returned from the treasury.
She was drugged yesterday and was completely unaware of her own actions. If he had taken advantage of her situation and done something, she would not have resisted at all, and would have taken the initiative under the control of the drug.
But why didn't he?
"My beloved, why are you looking at me like that?"
Liu Zhiyuan hesitated to speak, "Why do you call the imperial physician..."
Xiao Yu frowned at first, then quickly realized what she wanted to ask.
He gently rubbed her pale cheek with the back of his finger, "I said I would wait until you are willing."
Liu Zhiyuan looked at him steadily.
Xiao Yu chuckled, "Why the dumb look? Don't you believe it? I like you as a person. I want all of you, including your body and mind."
Rather than momentary pleasure.
He could have taken advantage of her yesterday, but what was the point? Taking her when she was unconscious was no different from forcing her.
If he really did that, Liu Zhiyuan probably would never fall in love with him in this life.
Besides, that would be too disrespectful.
She deserves the best.
"This is the first time I've fallen in love with someone. No one has ever taught me how to love since I was a child. I don't understand many things, but I can learn. I will do my best to do well. If there's anything I don't do well, you..."
"You did a great job." Liu Zhiyuan interrupted him.
Xiao Yu has done really well.
He grew up in such an environment. The late emperor himself was a man who had never experienced normal love, and he married a woman like the empress dowager. The late emperor didn't even know what love was, so how could he teach Xiao Yu what love was.
Not to mention the Queen Mother.
No one taught Xiao Yu how to like someone or how to be nice to someone. He could only learn by trial and error, but he did better than many men.
Liu Zhiyuan's eyes were complicated.
In the situation like yesterday, any man might have lost control.
Not to mention others, if it were her, if the person she liked was drugged, threw himself into her arms and asked for a kiss, she might not be able to resist.
However, Xiao Yu held back and did not take advantage of her unconsciousness to do anything offensive.
How much willpower did it take for a man who would bleed from his nose just by looking at himself to endure such a tempting situation?
He is the emperor, the ruler of a country. He shouldn't have to endure these things, but he did.
To say it wasn't shocking would be a lie.
Liu Zhiyuan's emotions were in turmoil and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
She always felt that the emperor's sudden declaration of liking her was a joke. Who would fall in love with someone who always made things difficult for her?
But now it seems that maybe he was serious about what he said about liking me.
My heart suddenly started beating faster, as if an indescribable impulse was running rampant in my chest.
Liu Zhiyuan turned around and said, "I'm tired and want to sleep for a while."
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
"I don't want to eat."
Xiao Yu still had a lot to say to her, but seeing that she looked pale and didn't want to say more, he had to give up.
"Go to sleep, rest in peace, and leave the rest to me."
Liu Zhiyuan turned around and asked, "Who drugged me?"
"Don't worry, Concubine Chen, I will seek justice for you."
It’s the Chen family again!
Why did the Chen family want to kill the Liu family?
In the court, Prime Minister Chen framed her father and put him in prison, and in the harem, Concubine Chen persecuted her everywhere.
Is there any conflict between the Chen family and the Liu family?
It seems I have to go find Zhou Kang again, the walking database.
Early the next morning, a shocking news broke out in the harem, and the entire harem was in an uproar.
Concubine Chen had an affair with three guards in the Imperial Garden last night!
They were making love, their clothes in disarray, and were caught by patrolling guards. It was said that the two were hugging each other and making love, looking very happy.
