Chapter 117 A Strange Feeling, Somewhat Exciting
Qin Ye, dressed in his nightgown, sat against the headboard of her bed.
His gaze fell heavily on Yun Si, revealing a hint of displeasure.
Yun Si wasn't angry. She quickly walked towards him and suddenly threw herself into his arms.
A rare opportunity.
She must seize the opportunity to ease the pain of unrequited love.
In the past, Qin Ye would keep her up until midnight, and she would be so worried. But lately, she's actually starting to miss it.
I miss his embrace, I miss his scent, and the feel of touching his abs.
She was his legitimate princess consort, yet they had to sneak around to meet.
As the soft, fragrant body nestled into his arms, Qin Ye's eyes flickered slightly.
He reached out and hugged her tightly.
"The bodyguard said he lost you. What have you been doing lately?"
Yun Si went out alone and came back so late.
Although Qin Ye was certain that she was not in immediate danger, he couldn't help but worry.
Moreover, he could sense the changes in her during this time.
I just don't know why she has changed so much.
"I've been busy researching antidotes lately, and I've also been concocting some other commonly used medicines. I've already tested dozens of antidotes, and if nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to concoct an antidote for the type of poison in your body in another half month."
Yun Si raised her head in his arms, her fingers busy touching his chin and poking his face.
She was afraid that after tonight, she wouldn't see him for a long time again.
Qin Ye grasped her hand, his eyes darkening: "Yun Si."
A strong desire uncontrollably surfaced in his eyes.
"Um?"
Yun Si's voice was soft and gentle, making people's hearts itch with desire.
"What's wrong? Speak up."
"...Don't overwork yourself. There's no rush for the antidote. If we really can't find the right formula, it's okay. He won't let me die easily... Hmm..."
Before she could finish speaking, her hand slipped inside his nightgown again.
Qin Ye grunted.
"Yun Si, you...don't touch me like that,"
He wanted to talk about something serious.
Are you trying to play with fire?
"No."
Yun Si said innocently, "I just missed you and wanted to hug you."
These words softened Qin Ye's heart.
He suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips without hesitation.
The kiss was like a floodgate opening, unstoppable and spreading rapidly.
The bed curtains fell, concealing the enchanting atmosphere of the room.
Yun Si's initiative is more effective than any medicine.
Afterwards, he leaned close to her ear and asked, "Who lured them away? I must thank him properly."
"Slight difference."
"Xiao Yi?"
Qin Ye asked in surprise, "Your new cat?"
He knew.
I just haven't seen it yet.
"It's not a cat."
Yun Si, feeling weak all over, nestled in his arms, her body covered in fragrant sweat: "I couldn't figure out exactly what it was, but it's really smart and has a lot of intelligence."
"Is it really that powerful?"
The people of Qiwu Garden are not easily lured away.
"I promise you won't be coming back anytime soon."
"No wonder you were so bold and enthusiastic tonight, Yun Si. Remember to keep it up. I like you like this."
Qin Ye approached, and Yun Si's face turned bright red.
She originally just wanted to get closer to him, she really didn't intend to do anything else.
His words made it sound like she was the one who couldn't wait.
Seeing her blush, Qin Ye chuckled softly, "What's wrong? You've already done it, and now you're shy?"
"..."
Yun Si was extremely embarrassed.
As they lingered together, Qin Ye forcibly suppressed his wandering thoughts and the urge to pin her down again, asking in a hoarse voice, "You still haven't told me what you did tonight, and why you're so late coming back?"
"I've been practicing alchemy a lot lately, so I thought I'd take a stroll, and then... I ran into Prince Lin."
Yun Si would not hide anything from Qin Ye.
"It wasn't a coincidence."
She told Qin Ye the whole story of how the Prince of Lin came to her specifically to ask her to save the Princess of Lin.
"I never expected that someone like him would give up everything to beg me for the sake of his princess. Perhaps it was his true feelings for the princess that touched me, or perhaps it's because we have similar experiences..."
Yun Si paused at this point.
She looked at Qin Ye with some trepidation: "Will you blame me for saving Princess Lin?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Qin Ye looked at her lazily, twirling strands of her hair around his fingers.
"No matter what Prince Lin has done, as long as Princess Lin is innocent, you sisters-in-law don't need to get involved in our conflict."
"Um."
She nodded.
After a moment of silence, he continued, "The poison that Princess Lin was poisoned with is the same as yours, but the imperial physicians in the palace say that it cannot be cured; it's clearly going to kill her. Now that I've intervened to save her, I'm afraid it might be..."
"If you're afraid, why did you still do it?"
Qin Ye tucked the stray hairs from her forehead behind her ear, his gaze fixed on her, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at her.
"I see that you are not afraid at all."
He said that, but his eyes were full of indulgence and pampering.
"Do whatever you want. Anyway, whether you do these things or not, he doesn't want to let you go."
Qin Ye's voice carried a hint of coldness.
"But you don't need to worry. Right now, he won't make a move. We just need to be more vigilant."
"Um."
Yun Si did not ask any further questions.
I always feel that discussing this topic is somewhat sad and heavy.
"By the way, do you know someone named Gao Zheng?"
Thinking of that invitation card, Yun Si asked casually.
"Gao Zheng?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ye felt that the name sounded somewhat familiar.
He thought for a while before suddenly remembering: "The seventh prince of Northern Yan has a single name, Zheng."
"But isn't the royal surname of Northern Yan Huyan?"
"Yes, the seventh prince of Northern Yan is named Huyan Zheng, but his mother's surname is Gao."
After explaining, he asked, "How do you know Gao Zheng?"
"I received a visiting card, signed by Gao Zheng."
Yun Si was puzzled: "But I don't know him. Why would he send me an invitation? Or did he make a mistake and it's actually for you?"
Where is the visiting card?
Qin Ye's voice deepened: "Let me see."
Yun Si got up from the bed, went to the table next to her, took the visiting card, and handed it to Qin Ye.
The visiting card didn't specify who it was for, only that it said it would be visiting Prince Xiao's residence after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The key point is that the person who sent the invitation specifically stated that it was for Princess Yun Si of the Xiao Kingdom.
"Ignore him and wait for him to arrive."
Qin Ye tossed the invitation aside, his voice sounding nonchalant and indifferent, but in reality, a hint of wariness and danger flashed in his eyes.
He pulled Yun Si back into his arms, and the scent of her body gradually calmed his uneasy heart.
"Yun Si, do not meet with that Seventh Prince alone."
"Um."
Sensing his subtle change in emotion, Yun Si looked up from his arms and said, "I don't even know him, don't overthink it."
Qin Ye didn't say anything.
After just one glance at her, he pulled her back into his arms.
"It's late, go to sleep."
"Are you going to leave after I fall asleep?"
"...Well, we'll be more easily spotted at daylight, so let's try to avoid any unexpected problems during this time."
He dared not take any risks for Yun Si's safety.
After all, he is currently powerless to fight against them, and none of his men can protect anyone from the Phantom Guards.
Even Ah Wu couldn't do that.
Only by making a temporary compromise can we gain even a sliver of hope.
Yun Si: "..."
Why does it feel like an affair?
Yun Si felt heartbroken and helpless.
There's also a strange feeling.
Why does it feel a little stimulating?
Ah, finding joy in hardship.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Qin Ye, how about we get a divorce?"
