There was a special bedroom in the palace for guests who were drunk at banquets to rest, but Yan Qu had his own special bedroom.
Perhaps because most of the palace servants were busy with the preparations for the Emperor's Birthday Festival, there was no one guarding Yan Qu's bedroom.
Yan Qu's body gradually felt hot, his consciousness was a little unclear but his five senses were unusually sensitive than usual. Perhaps it was because the two of them were too close, the fragrance of the girl surrounded his nostrils, unlike the strong makeup of other women, the light floral scent was very pleasant.
At this moment, Qiao Yu frowned inadvertently as he walked into the yard, obviously feeling that the two of them were not doing the right thing. Although Yan Qu caught this expression, he had no time to care about anything else at this moment.
Finally arriving in the room, Qiao Yu helped Yan Qu sit down. His face was flushed, which was not right.
"Are you okay? Wait here. Zhu'er will go get the doctor and be back soon."
Yan Qu tried to avert his gaze from the girl, a deep lustful look surging under his dark eyelashes, and his voice was frighteningly low and hoarse:
"It's okay, just get out now!"
He didn't look like he was alright at all, but just as Qiao Yu was about to step forward to investigate, she was frightened by Yan Qu's scarlet eyes and paused for a moment. However, she didn't retreat in fear, but took a step forward even more worriedly:
"You don't look like you're alright. Who knows if Li Qinghe has given you some strong, harmful medicine, given his imposing manner? I'll get you some water to cool you down..."
After hearing this, Yan Qu was so angry that the veins on his forehead were throbbing. Since she knew what drug he had been poisoned with, she still had the audacity to be alone in a room with him!
The medicine that Li Qinghe gave him was indeed too powerful. Its brutal effect almost devoured Yan Qu's consciousness. If he had not endured it, he would have become a mindless beast long ago.
"How can this prince not be the concubine's concern? It's already a great favor for the concubine to call the imperial physician. If the prince loses consciousness and offends the concubine, it will be bad. You'd better get out of here quickly!"
Yan Qu used up all his strength to say this, but the girl had no intention of leaving. In a hurry, Yan Qu had to deliberately say:
"If the imperial concubine had a kind heart, she would have called a palace maid..."
Before he could utter any cruel words, the woman's soft little hand came to his face. Qiao Yu's hand seemed to have magical power. The cold touch did not extinguish the burning body temperature but instead made it even hotter, making him sink into depravity.
"Aqu..."
Yan Qu couldn't help but lose his focus. All he wanted in his mind was to hold the girl in his arms and kiss her fiercely. But when he realized what he was thinking, Yan Qu was so shocked that he slapped her hand away:
"Get out! I told you to get out!"
Yan Qu used all his strength in this slap, and red marks soon appeared on the back of Qiao Yu's fair hand. The pain made her eyes red, and the girl's moist eyes looked even more pitiful and touching:
"I can help you."
The woman's beautiful almond-shaped eyes stared straight at Yan Qu, and her tone was light, as if the help she was talking about was just a small matter.
Yan Qu turned away his gaze obscurely and refused with difficulty: "This king will not..."
Before he could refuse, Qiao Yu hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him awkwardly.
His heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by a hand.
Yan Qu suddenly froze, his heart beating uncontrollably.
A kiss closed the eyes, and his dark, inky pupils stared at her with suppressed gaze:
"You still have time to leave now, huh?"
The man's voice was low, as if intentional, and his hot kiss fell devoutly on the corner of Qiao Yu's eyes.
Actually it’s too late.
Qiao Yu didn't answer him, but stood on tiptoe and kissed him.
In the second half of the night, Yan Qu was actually completely awake.
In a trance, Qiao Yu heard the man's low and tender voice:
"I love you..."
After sending the person away, Zhu'er came over quickly. What she saw made her almost scream, but fortunately she restrained herself.
Zhu'er's face turned pale. She tried hard to adjust her thoughts. After clenching her fists and making a decision, she walked out.
The morning light was dim, until the sky turned pale, and finally ended this absurd night.
Qiao Yu looked at the sky outside and felt a little annoyed. She thought it would be over soon.
The discomfort in her body made her face turn cold. She pushed Yan Qu and got up from the bed to pick up her clothes.
"It's getting late. I have to go back. Prince An, please just pretend that what happened last night never happened."
The cold words made Yan Qu's heart sink. The woman in front of him only left him with her back.
It was as if the person who responded to him enthusiastically the previous second was not her. Yan Qu's face was gloomy, and he suppressed the sourness in his heart:
"Don't you have anything you want to explain?"
Why did you kiss me last night? Why didn’t you push me away last night? Why am I still intact?
She is still a virgin, so if she was forced to have a miscarriage, then Prince Jingyi never existed. How many things is she hiding? If she wants to hide it, why does she tell it to me?
Yan Qu had so many questions he wanted to ask, but he didn't dare and couldn't. He didn't dare because he was afraid the answer wouldn't be what he wanted, and he couldn't because there were so many things between them.
Qiao Yu put on her clothes, but her long black hair was too long so it had to be loose. She glanced at Yan Qu seemingly unintentionally, with a bit of panic suppressed deep in her eyes, but her acting skills were too good.
The panic quickly disappeared.
It was so good that he felt that the slight panic just now was just an illusion, just like the passionate love last night was an illusion.
"If Prince An is keeping this secret because of my rescue last night, I would be grateful to you. Of course, Prince An also has the right to report me to the Emperor."
This ruthless look made people hate her to the core. She was deliberately provoking him. Yan Qu tried to calm his anger, took the girl's hand, and kissed the back of her hand gently and devoutly under her surprised gaze:
"Don't be afraid, I will take care of everything, and I won't stop you from doing anything."
I won't help either, this is Yan Qu's answer, but it is indeed the greatest tolerance, because it is not difficult to guess what Qiao Yu is thinking, what she is going to do may be the most difficult and inappropriate thing in the world.
The burden and responsibility on Yan Qu prevented him from going forward without hesitation, but this was enough for Qiao Yu. Loyalty and tolerance towards traitors were already the greatest crime.
Qiao Yu looked at him, a thousand emotions swirling in her eyes. She pulled her hand back and spoke in a hoarse voice that even surprised herself:
"Okay, thank you Yan Qu."
The man's favorability, which had not changed for a long time, finally received a continuous reminder. The favorability, which had not changed when they were so affectionate yesterday, kept increasing by +1, +1, +1 at this moment until it stopped at 85.
Obviously, Yan Qu's affection for him was not just because of what happened last night. It was just that night that made the emotions that he had suppressed for a long time burst out uncontrollably.
In the room, Yan Qu did not leave until half an hour after Qiao Yu left, and finally compromised with a silent sigh.
