Chapter 48 evokes even more tears.
"Yaoyao, why aren't you answering me?" Yu He'an moved even closer, encircling her in his arms, his waist and abdomen pressed against hers.
It was too close; it was torture for her. The scent of cedarwood and his forceful movements were both stimulating her, and she instinctively wanted to escape.
"Brother, I feel terrible."
Her chin was grabbed, blocking her escape route.
Her face was flushed, her eyes were moist, her gaze was unfocused, and a few beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose. One hand was pressing on her lower abdomen, while the other hand was being held by him and pulled into his sleeve.
He's been like this for the past few days; his symptoms haven't improved at all, and have actually gotten worse.
"What happened?" He let go of her hand, and Yu Tan immediately tucked her hand into her sleeve.
Her fingertips nervously clutched the sachet, seeking a sliver of comfort.
The soft, rustling sound of something being squeezed seemed especially jarring at this moment.
He sneered. He knew what was hidden in his sleeve: a sachet that Chu Minglang had given her, which she treasured and kept under her pillow when she slept.
It was as if he were the monstrous flood that Yu Tan feared, and Chu Minglang was the one she trusted most.
I secretly kissed him.
Just now, because Yu Tan didn't dodge his kiss, he was pleased with himself and had the illusion that they were in love with each other.
But her ambiguous attitude towards Chu Minglang infuriated him.
"Always misjudging people."
Yu He'an suddenly yanked her hand, and the sachet that had been hidden in her sleeve fell to the ground with a thud, scattering the medicinal herbs inside. Unfortunately, they had lost all their scent and did nothing to relieve her predicament.
The boots rolled over it, leaving dusty footprints on the sachet.
She stared blankly for a long time, her last hope gone, and said angrily, "Brother, what are you doing?"
"Are you going to resent me now because of Chu Minglang?"
They were evenly matched, neither willing to back down.
A hand with distinct knuckles stroked her cheek, and the heat and dryness spread through her. She could barely stand and had to lean against the wall to keep from falling.
She pleaded softly, "Brother, I feel terrible... could you please stay away from me..."
He was so angry he almost laughed when she begged him to stay away from her.
No way.
His hand was on her side, and his body heat seeped through her thin nightgown, making her shiver. Her body trembled slightly, and a soreness rushed down her back.
The urge to have him massage my lower abdomen resurfaced.
She closed her eyes tightly, took a few deep breaths to ease her discomfort.
It's completely useless.
She grabbed the mischievous hand, placed it on her lower abdomen, pressed down hard on the back of his hand, and led his hand towards her own abdomen.
A muffled groan escaped his throat, barely suppressed, but the bloating in his abdomen did not ease at all.
She stared helplessly at Yu He'an, feeling the hand resting on her lower abdomen growing hotter and hotter, but it did nothing to alleviate her symptoms.
She felt wronged: "Whenever you get close, I feel hot all over and my stomach aches... I just feel uncomfortable."
Can you please stay away from her?
"When did it start?" The hand on her abdomen pressed down again.
She groaned a few times, turning her head away, "This is how I am now, after being bitten by a snake at the Spring Banquet... Today, I want to go see Doctor Xue..."
"You ran into Chu Minglang? Didn't you feel hot when he was near you?"
"No." She lowered her head, thought for a moment, and then honestly confessed, "It will alleviate the symptoms somewhat."
Which kind? This kind?
Yu He'an lowered his head and pressed his lips directly against hers, gently rubbing them together.
I don't know how long they kissed before he finally pulled away.
She was so stunned by the kiss that it took her a long time to come to her senses, and she stared at everything in a daze.
Besides the fang marks from the snake bite, there was also a small red dot on my calf. At first glance, it looked like a small red mole, but upon closer inspection, it looked like flowing blood.
"You said you were bitten by insects, is this it?" My thigh was pinched, and I could glimpse fair skin through the fingers.
This posture is so strange; his expression is serious and focused, as if he's just attentively checking her injuries.
She felt extremely awkward, resisted and struggled, and was afraid that her secret would be discovered.
"I don't know... I didn't find any more bugs after that." She was bitten by a snake after that, and she had long forgotten about it.
She seemed to have forgotten something important.
She remembered that after meeting Zhao Qin, she felt something was off and wanted to go back and check the book. Her situation seemed very similar to being under the influence of the Love Gu.
However, after returning to the manor, her identity was exposed, and she was expelled from the manor. She then forgot about the incident, automatically attributing it to illness, as if her mind was deliberately avoiding anything related to the love potion.
"You've been poisoned with a love potion."
He touched her cheek, his tone full of sympathy, like a rational older brother looking at his ignorant younger sister, saying, "Look what trouble you've caused again, and now I have to clean up your mess."
"how so?"
"You've been holding it in for so long, it must have been very difficult. Why didn't you say so sooner?"
It's very uncomfortable.
Dryness and heat, with a feeling of heaviness and distension.
She nodded, looking extremely aggrieved.
"It hurts so much, brother, it hurts so much." His words were incoherent, tinged with sobs. "A love potion? Then... what can I... do?"
She remembered reading in the book that being infected with a love potion would make one unable to control their thoughts of the other person.
She was so tormented that her mind went blank.
She initially thought she was ill, but she was clearly suffering from the effects of the love potion.
No wonder... I've ended up in this situation.
Everything was just like in the story; she clearly did so much.
But it couldn't change its fate at all.
She had unknowingly ingested poison that would burn her intestines, and now she had no other choice.
She wanted to live a good life.
She really hadn't expected to get into all this trouble.
Why?
Why not let her go?
Does it really have to end with someone dying, just like in the movie?
No……
She wants to live. It's not her fault. Why can't she live?
She hurriedly tried to get up and break free, but they forcefully pressed her back down.
"Don't be afraid, it won't do anything."
"Brother, what we're doing is very strange..."
This shouldn't be done.
She slumped to the side, burying her face helplessly in Yu He'an's shoulder, weeping silently.
"It's just us here, there's nothing to be afraid of." The voice was suppressed and hoarse.
This greatly alleviated her anxiety; only they knew what had happened inside, and no third person knew what was going on.
It seems like they can do anything.
The nightgown already had a large tear, and with each movement, the soft, smooth fabric slipped down.
The apricot-colored dress was embroidered with a few plum blossoms, which were faintly visible.
"Hmm..." He pressed her down even tighter with his hand.
A barrage of kisses rained down, drawing her into their ecstasy.
This is wrong. They are siblings; they shouldn't act like this.
But the heat blurred her consciousness, and a large, strong hand comforted her all the way.
The heat was dissipating, and her discomfort was relieved...
Her body told her that it was all right.
She didn't want to stop.
She was bewitched by a love spell; she had no choice. Yu He'an was just helping her.
During famines, people even resorted to cannibalism, yet she hadn't done anything wrong.
What are the laws and moral principles of heaven more important than life? Heaven will forgive their sins.
When she was released, Yu Tan was still dazed, her mouth agape and panting.
Warm palms brushed across her cheeks, as if checking and comforting, brushing aside her sweat-dampened temples to reveal her smooth forehead.
Her eyes were still blurry, she hadn't quite come to her senses yet, and she looked a little dazed.
Despite her strikingly beautiful appearance, which might lead outsiders to believe she is exceptionally intelligent, she is actually quite naive.
They've been completely scammed.
"Vast and distant."
"Brother."
It was hot and humid.
She hadn't experienced it before, didn't know what had happened, and trusted him completely.
He gave her another reassuring kiss.
I pressed my fingertips against my lips, gently teasing them as they touched my warm lips.
Teasing and comforting.
"Brother." Her eyes welled up with tears; she looked so pitiful.
"Keep your voice down, or Aunt He will hear you."
"Isn't Yao Yao most afraid of being misunderstood?"
"You wanted to explain our relationship to her yesterday? Have you forgotten?"
Yesterday, under the locust tree, Yu Tan swung on a swing and slowly explained to Aunt He that they were siblings.
Aunt He held up the newly made tea, assuming that Yu Tan and Yu He'an were having some kind of fun.
Yu Tan tried to explain for a long time but couldn't make it clear. Just then, he saw it and led Yu Tan back into the house.
The relationship is becoming increasingly unclear.
The damp breath brushed against my ears, drawing out even more sticky sweat.
A hand patted her side to calm her down.
Like a stern teacher, holding a ruler, reprimanding students who are not paying attention in class.
The other hand, however, caused even more trouble.
She covered her mouth but couldn't stop the sobbing; instead, it brought out even more tears.
The newly cast boat sailed on the sea, tossed about by the waves, its hull unable to withstand the strong winds and waves, and a crack appeared in its surface.
Seawater rushed in, making the area wet and muddy.
The small boat was about to be swallowed up by the sea.
The wave came too fiercely and too quickly.
She couldn't take it anymore.
It bit down on the troublemaker's vulnerable neck, dragging him into the pain as well.
Her mind went blank, and after what seemed like an eternity, she finally came to her senses and tasted blood on her tongue.
Her teeth marks were left at the base of her neck, with red and swollen edges and broken skin in the middle.
As the clapper sounded at midnight, she begged for mercy, calling out "Brother" countless times.
Finally, the burning heat throughout my body was completely extinguished and excreted.
She felt weak and sore all over, her head buried in the brocade quilt, not knowing how to face Yu He'an.
The fabric beneath her tugged, interrupting her feigned death.
The hem of the white robe was pulled out.
"Brother."
"Um?"
Yu He'an looked up at her; sticky water stains still clung to her fingers, glistening against her fingertips.
It seems too uncomfortable.
He casually picked up a piece of cloth and wiped it, leaving damp marks on the apricot-colored undershirt.
She suspected he did it on purpose, deliberately using her undergarments.
The disdain in Yu Tan's eyes was too obvious. Yu He'an sneered, "Yaoyao, you're very disgusted."
She turned her head away, not daring to look again.
"Are they planning to renege on their promise?"
She stripped off all her clothes, and apart from the water stains on her robes and her slightly disordered breathing, Yu He'an was just as she always had been. It was so unfair.
Before she could figure it out, she was pulled into an embrace.
"I don't intend to deny it. I'll wash the clothes tomorrow."
How heartless! Who told her this?
Are you still feeling unwell?
She shook her head, and the heaviness and heat dissipated.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. She sensed something was wrong. Yu He An Yuan wasn't as calm as he seemed. She felt danger and wanted to get away.
"Let me hold you for a while."
Her mind was in a daze, sometimes thinking about her relationship with Yu He'an, sometimes about the people in Lanfang Courtyard.
The annoying sound of the plot still lingers in my ears.
[Congratulations on completing the first stage of the imprisonment storyline ahead of schedule: the Empress's caresses after planting the love potion.]
Completed ahead of schedule.
What exactly happened?
She was practically petrified.
