The moment their lips touched, the discomfort Jiang Yu had imagined did not come.
Jiang Yu couldn't help but widen her eyes. Could it be that... she had overcome the psychological trauma that Gu Heng had inflicted on her?
Gu Lin reached out and covered Jiang Yu's eyes, using all his strength to remove them from between her lips and teeth. "Ayu, relax, don't think about those bad things."
After saying that, Gu Lin pressed himself against it again.
This time, Gu Lin was no longer satisfied with just feeding Jiang Yu the hangover soup. He pried open Jiang Yu's teeth again and placed his hands on her waist.
The scene under the moonlight was strangely reverent.
"Are you sober yet?" Looking at Jiang Yu's slightly swollen red lips, Gu Lin's dark eyes never faded, but his remaining rationality told him that he could not continue.
“I’m not drunk.” Jiang Yu’s eyes were full of affection. “Gu Lin, I didn’t feel nauseous just now.”
Upon hearing this, beads of sweat dripped down Gu Lin's forehead. He gritted his teeth and glared at the woman in front of him who seemed completely unaware of the danger. In the end, all his forbearance turned into a soft sigh.
"Good girl, let me carry you back to the palace."
Last time at Zhaoning Palace, he was forced by circumstances to have sex with Ayu.
Now, he must marry Ayu in a grand and glorious manner and reveal Ayan's identity to the world. Only after doing these things will he be qualified to take the next step.
As the night grew dim, Gu Lin's figure sped toward Zhaoning Palace.
Jiang Yu, whom he was holding, buried her head in Gu Lin's chest and said, "Gu Lin, I'm only taking this one gamble."
She was willing to gamble because she enjoyed it herself.
"I won't let you lose again, Jiang Ayu."
......
After seeing Jiang Yu off, Gu Lin saw Gu Qingyan standing outside Zhaoning Palace.
"I thought you weren't going to bring Mother back tonight." Gu Qingyan pursed his lips. Even though he was only twelve years old, some people in the court had already begun to covet the Empress's position.
Therefore, Wei Ruo had told him about all these matters concerning men and women.
Upon hearing this, Gu Lin unceremoniously tapped Gu Qingyan on the head, causing Gu Qingyan to quickly cover his head in pain. "Why did you hit me? If you don't send Mother back, I'll personally bring her back."
"A child shouldn't think too much, or he might not grow tall."
Gu Lin's words once again struck a nerve with Gu Qingyan's "sensitive" heart. Gu Qingyan snorted coldly, "Has Mother really accepted you?"
"Um."
Upon hearing Gu Lin's affirmative answer, Gu Qingyan's lips curled up uncontrollably.
He appeared calm and collected on the surface, but inside he was overjoyed.
"If you dare to betray the Empress Dowager, I wouldn't hesitate to kill my father." Gu Qingyan said viciously, and the next second he was picked up by Gu Lin. A few breaths later, he felt a sharp pain in his buttocks.
"It seems I've been too lenient with you all this time. You even dare to say things like patricide now." Gu Lin was so angry he laughed, and his big hand mercilessly slapped Gu Qingyan's buttocks.
If we don't beat this kid now, he'll be harder to beat later.
Gu Qingyan's face flushed red with suppressed rage. To preserve his dignity as emperor, he dared not cry out in pain. Finally, filled with resentment, Gu Qingyan raised his paw:
“I was wrong, Father, I shouldn’t have said that.”
Gu Lin's large hand froze in mid-air. Gu Qingyan took the opportunity to slip out of Gu Lin's grasp, covering his buttocks with both hands. "I was just saying it casually, and you actually hit me so hard."
Gu Qingyan's eyes welled up with tears from the pain.
"You can even utter words like 'parricide,' Gu Qingyan, what else wouldn't you dare to do?"
Gu Lin's feigned anger still frightened Gu Qingyan somewhat, and Gu Qingyan's small body trembled. "I'm just afraid that you will let down Mother."
“I will not let you down, Mother, but this does not conflict with how I raise my son.”
Gu Lin turned and left, leaving Gu Qingyan speechless with despair.
"Your Majesty, let this servant apply some medicine for you." Qin Wei said in a trembling voice. His heart had almost jumped out of his throat when he heard the emperor say that he had murdered his father.
Gu Qingyan knew he was in the wrong, and limped back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
What a stingy man! He must still be holding a grudge against me for bringing my uncle to disturb his and my mother's peaceful days.
Let's see how he complains to his mother tomorrow morning!
......
The grand spectacle here did not affect the enchanting atmosphere inside the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence at all.
Both of them, who were in excellent physical condition, eventually fell into a deep sleep. It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that the servants, who were pacing anxiously outside, heard the commotion coming from inside.
Tears welled up in my eyes instantly. Heavens, the Marquis and his wife have finally woken up!
If he doesn't wake up soon, he should be knocking on the door.
Inside the room, Bai Qian nestled in Jiang He's arms. "My lord, I... I seem to have overslept. If I go to the palace to pay my respects to the Emperor and Empress later, I'm afraid you'll be laughed at by everyone."
"Bai Qian."
Jiang He's soft voice rang out above Bai Qian's head, "I've known you for so long, but I've never heard you call me Lord Marquis."
"Still calling yourself 'my concubine'? There's no need for such formalities between us."
After saying that, he planted a kiss on Bai Qianying's white shoulder. "But you're right about one thing. We should get up now, or the palace will be waiting anxiously."
Suddenly, Bai Qian's expression changed. Feeling something pressing against her from below, Bai Qian glared fiercely at Jiang He.
"Someone, come and help me bathe and change my clothes."
After saying that, Bai Qian quickly got off the bed, as if there were a raging flood behind her.
To the surprise of the newlyweds, neither Jiang Yu nor Gu Qingyan got up when they arrived at Zhaoning Palace.
So the two of them sat numbly in Zhaoning Palace for a full hour.
"Brother, sister-in-law," Jiang Yu said apologetically, "I drank a bit too much last night, so Granny Ling didn't wake me up this morning."
"Didn't Your Highness drink any hangover soup last night?" Jiang He frowned immediately, thinking that Gu Lin hadn't given Jiang Yu any hangover soup.
At the mention of hangover soup, a suspicious blush appeared on Jiang Yu's face.
“Brother, don’t worry. I drank some hangover soup last night, so I just went to bed a little late.”
Jiang He was relieved upon hearing this, but then realized that Gu Qingyan had not yet arrived. "Where is the Emperor?"
"Uncle, I'm here."
A weak voice came from inside, and everyone's eyes turned to the doorway. They saw that Gu Qingyan was walking in a very strange way, and his face was pale.
"Quickly prepare a chair for the Emperor."
As soon as Jiang Yu finished speaking, Gu Qingyan's face turned even paler, and he mentally criticized Gu Lin again.
The moment his buttocks touched the chair, a sharp pain shot through him, jolting him up with a groan.
"Ouch, my butt hurts so much."
