You stubborn man, still so reserved. You'll have plenty of opportunities to beg me later.
Jiang Jingyue retreated meekly and went to the desk. She started grinding ink again. Perhaps because she was moving quickly, one of her sleeves slipped down, revealing a large expanse of fair skin on her neck.
When Fei Leng caught a glimpse of it, his breath caught in his throat.
Although he immediately looked away, he didn't know why at first, but not long after he looked away, his gaze fell on Jiang Jingyue's fair skin again.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Fei Leng coughed and suddenly looked at Jiang Jingyue, speaking coldly.
“My dear minister, put your clothes on properly. What kind of behavior is it for a man to be dressed so disheveled?”
Upon hearing his words, Jiang Jingyue seemed to snap out of her daze, glanced down at herself, and immediately cried out in surprise.
"ah!"
He quickly pulled on his clothes, immediately covering the exposed skin on his neck.
For some reason, seeing what was happening in front of him, Fei Leng felt a little disappointed.
It seemed that Jiang Jingyue pulled her clothes up, which made him somewhat disappointed. Thinking of this, Fei Leng immediately shook his head.
He felt himself getting crazier and crazier, even wanting to look at a man's body.
Fei Leng felt that if this matter continued to develop, he would lose control.
Looking up at Jiang Jingyue in front of him, he couldn't help but find it a little funny to see her face flushed red.
"My dear minister, let's go. The palace banquet has already begun, so let's head out now!"
Fei Leng particularly enjoyed spending time with Jiang Jingyue; otherwise, he wouldn't have summoned her to the palace at this time.
When Fei Leng and Jiang Jingyue arrived at the main hall, all the court officials were already there, waiting for Fei Leng.
As soon as Fei Leng entered, everyone in the hall stood up and bowed.
Fei Leng didn't say much. He walked up to the dragon throne and slowly spoke, asking everyone to stand up.
He was just about to say something to Jiang Jingyue beside him, but when he turned around, he found that Jiang Jingyue was no longer there. In that instant, Fei Leng's expression turned somewhat ugly.
He subconsciously started looking around, and when he saw Jiang Jingyue sitting next to her family and chatting with other ministers, he realized that she was a woman who was not only sitting with her family but also chatting with other ministers.
For some reason, Fei Leng felt uneasy.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
The empress sitting next to him suddenly spoke up, calling out "Your Majesty" several times before Fei Leng finally came to his senses.
He looked at the fruit in front of him, his gaze somewhat obscure.
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong? If there's nothing wrong, there's no need to make such a fuss. What kind of behavior is this?"
Fei Leng's words almost made the Empress choke with anger, but she took a breath and was fine again.
The person in front of her was the Emperor, and she was hoping that he would come to her palace.
During this time, she has been drinking a lot of folk remedies that she got from her mother, which are guaranteed to help the emperor conceive a prince.
"Your Majesty, I wanted to ask if you could come to my palace today. My mother has been bringing me medicine for a month, and I've been taking it for a month now, Your Majesty..."
Before the Empress could finish speaking, she was startled by Fei's cold gaze and immediately dared not say anything more.
Seeing the Emperor's expression, it was clear he was unwilling, so she decided not to say anything more to avoid upsetting him.
Fei Leng was feeling very depressed. If things hadn't been relatively peaceful at the border, he would have preferred to stay there.
Once back at the palace, a whole host of things came up.
Fei Leng raised his cup, stood up, and spoke loudly to the ministers below.
"Now that the border is stable and the people are living in peace and contentment, this is no less thanks to everyone present. I toast you all."
When the Emperor offered a toast, everyone was flattered and immediately stood up to raise their glasses in celebration with Fei Leng.
Unbeknownst to Fei Leng, the moment he picked up his wine glass, the Queen's eyes lit up instantly.
Judging from the Empress's expression, there must be something extraordinary in the wine cup.
Perhaps because he was feeling depressed, Fei Leng kept drinking one glass after another without stopping. He didn't stand on ceremony with anyone who came to offer him a toast, and downed another glass in one go.
He was waiting, waiting for the person he hoped would come and toast him, but seeing the indifferent look on the other side, Fei Leng became even more frustrated.
What Fei Leng didn't know was that the concept of toasting was completely foreign to Jiang Jingyue.
She doesn't drink alcohol; she can't handle it once she starts. So no matter what, she would never offer a toast.
As Fei Leng drank, he suddenly felt extremely hot all over and felt unwell.
Looking at the cup in his hand, Fei Leng's face instantly turned gloomy, his eyes fierce. He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly glanced at the Empress beside him.
Upon being stared at by Fei Leng, the Empress couldn't help but shrink back, somewhat frightened.
She felt that the look in the Emperor's eyes seemed to indicate that he knew something, but she didn't know how to express it.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like that? Has something happened?"
Even though she was somewhat afraid, the Empress knew that she couldn't show it at this moment.
If she showed it and the Emperor found out, she might lose her life.
Fei Leng felt extremely uncomfortable all over, as if a fire was constantly burning inside him, making him feel terribly unwell.
In just a moment, Fei Leng realized that he had been drugged.
Fei Leng glared at the Empress beside him, then stood up, preparing to leave.
Upon seeing this, the Empress immediately stood up, walked to Fei Leng's side, and spoke to him.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Let me help you back to the palace to rest!"
Fei Leng acted quickly, shaking off the Empress's hand and walking out of the hall on her own.
Jiang Jingyue kept an eye on Fei Leng above her, because the system had told her that the Emperor would be drugged today.
The moment the emperor was drugged was her perfect opportunity.
The moment she saw Fei Leng walk out, Jiang Jingyue followed her out.
However, she was a step too late when she came out and didn't see Fei Leng at all.
"Tongzi, where did he go? Why did he walk so fast?"
System: Host, he's in the hot spring 200 meters to your right. You can go there now, it'll be just in time.
Since the system had said so, Jiang Jingyue immediately turned around and ran towards the hot spring.
