Chapter 23 Undeniably, he had wanted to do this for a long time.
"..."
A subtle smile flashed in Qin Ye's dark eyes.
Is it a rumor?
unimportant.
He was wrapped around the neck by Yun Si, their breaths mingling so closely they could hear each other's heartbeats.
“Yun Si”.
Qin Ye's lips slowly approached her ear: "You won't regret it, will you? This time, whether it's a sweet fruit or a bitter fruit, I won't let go."
"Never regret it."
Yun Si replied decisively.
At that moment, she never expected that the slap in the face would come so quickly.
Qin Ye said that he would not let go, whether the fruit was sweet or bitter.
Later, he actually did it.
He didn't let her go, not even until his death.
Even bitter fruit is still fruit.
After the bitterness, everything becomes sweet.
Yun Si closed her eyes, waiting for his kiss to fall.
After waiting for a long time, Qin Ye only gently and restrainedly kissed her forehead.
“Yun Si”.
His voice was hoarse, his deep tone filled with suppressed emotion: "Is your body... alright?"
Yun Si's expression froze.
It turns out he was worried about her health.
That's true.
In the year or so since they got married, she has been sick every two days, and every three days she is seriously ill. She always looks frail and like she could die at any moment. I really don't know how Qin Ye could have fallen for her in the first place.
Before her rebirth, she might have had similar concerns.
Can my small frame withstand his torment?
However, in the month since her rebirth, she has been taking care of her health, and the results have been remarkable. Apart from the day she returned to the palace, she has not been sick since.
My physical strength is also many times better than before.
"It should be possible."
Yun Si answered softly.
She blushed deeply, but to encourage Qin Ye, she forced herself to say, "It's not the first time, be gentle, it'll be fine."
Before the marriage, her health was so poor, but after Qin Ye did *that* to her, she didn't feel anything.
Qin Ye was slightly taken aback when he heard her say that this wasn't the first time.
His lowered eyelashes cast a shadow on his eyelids, obscuring the fleeting, unusual light in his dark eyes.
His thin lips curved into a smile, a smile that was cryptic and enigmatic.
Yun Si looked at him and suddenly smiled.
Although the smile looked a bit strange, it didn't stop his face from becoming even more beautiful when he smiled, with a touch of charm in his eyes and brows that was captivating.
Yun Si was stunned for a moment.
She had never seen Qin Ye smile like that before; it was both gentle and dangerous.
At that moment, her heart was pounding wildly for him.
"Since this isn't the first time..."
Qin Ye gently pinched Yun Si's chin with his fingers, his voice low and seductive: "Then do you still remember what I did last time?"
this……
Yun Si honestly shook her head.
All she remembered was waking up that day in Qin Ye's arms, her clothes disheveled. As for what happened next, she had absolutely no recollection of it.
"It doesn't matter."
Qin Ye's smile deepened, his eyes darkening: "This time, I will make sure you never forget it."
Before Yun Si could react, she felt his kiss, which gently landed on her lips.
My heart was pounding.
I was both excited and nervous.
Yun Si tasted a hint of the refreshing aroma of the wine.
He's been drinking?
Qin Ye's kiss was gentle and lingering, his tongue lightly brushing across her lips, enticing her to open her mouth.
Yun Si's breathing gradually quickened, and her fingers clenched the brocade quilt beneath her.
"Relax, don't be afraid."
Qin Ye whispered a soothing sound in her ear, his large hand tracing her waistline, and Yun Si could feel the burning heat even through her clothes.
He proceeded slowly and cautiously, with a sense of probing, as he attacked the city he had long coveted.
His seemingly gentle movements also revealed an irresistible strength, firmly imprisoning Yun Si beneath him.
Undeniably, he had wanted to do this for a long time.
Qin Ye's kisses gradually became more intense, as if everything had come to fruition.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
However, just as his hand was about to slip inside Yun Si's clothes, a huge scream of terror pierced the night sky.
"There's a ghost!!!"
The next moment, a knock came at the door.
"Master, are you asleep? I heard that the stables are haunted. The screams are so terrifying, I'm a little scared."
It was Lansing's voice.
After returning to her residence, she hadn't fully recovered from the shock when she heard that terrible scream again. Startled, she rushed out of her room and ran towards Yun Si's room.
"My lord, may I come in?"
Yun Si's body tensed instantly, and Qin Ye's movements were forced to stop. The two looked at each other and immediately sat up from the bed.
"Wait...wait a minute."
As if she had been caught doing something wrong, Yun Si was so nervous that she almost couldn't speak properly.
"Don't be afraid, I'll open the door right away."
As she spoke, she got up and straightened her clothes.
Qin Ye sat on the bed, his face almost ashen.
As Yun Si was about to open the door, she gave Qin Ye a wink, signaling him to hide so that Lan Xin wouldn't see her.
They haven't remarried yet.
If people see it, they'll spread rumors again.
Yun Si thought Qin Ye would obediently hide, so after giving him a wink, she went to open the door. But as soon as the door opened, Lan Xin was about to say something excitedly when she looked into the room and froze as if she had been frozen in place. All her words were stuck in her throat.
God!
What are you doing here, Your Highness!
If she had known His Highness was here, she would have been terrified rather than come to disturb him.
“Um…Master, I’m not scared anymore. I’ll go find Lu Yu. She’s a bit timid, so she must be scared. I’ll go keep her company.”
After Lansing finished speaking in a serious tone, he backed away.
Yun Si looked at her with suspicion, then suddenly turned around and looked back.
The man who should have been hiding was sitting openly on her bed, silently expressing his displeasure and threat at having his good time interrupted.
No wonder.
Lansing would be scared away.
At this moment, Qin Ye might be even more terrifying to Lan Xin than the ghosts coming from the stables.
Let's get down to business.
Why is the Prince's mansion haunted?
"Lansing, what's going on at the stables?"
Before Lanxin had gone far, Yun Si quickly asked a question.
"I don't know."
Lansing only came out of the room after hearing the screams. She was timid and had already been frightened today. She could have immediately inquired about anything else, but this... she didn't dare.
She had just finished speaking when Lu Yu returned from outside.
"Lu Yu, what's the situation outside?"
"It was Little Xu. He said that when he was feeding the horses, a ghostly figure suddenly crawled out from under the carriage. He was so frightened that he screamed louder than a ghost, which alerted the guards patrolling the manor. When everyone went over to check, there was nothing there. He must have been seeing things."
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Lan Xin patted his chest.
Thank goodness, there were no ghosts.
A hint of suspicion flashed across Yun Si's face.
Is it really just my eyes playing tricks on me?
"Your Highness."
Yun Si thought of the girl in the earthen house and wondered if it might be her, hiding under their carriage and following them all the way back to the palace.
She needed to see for herself to be at ease.
If it really is her, we need to find her as soon as possible.
Otherwise, with so many guards, both overt and covert, it would be bad if they mistook her for an assassin and accidentally injured her.
"I want to go check out the stables, do you want to come with me?"
Although Yun Si was asking Qin Ye a question, she actually had no intention of waiting for him at all.
Because she was in a hurry.
Qin Ye quickly caught up with Yun Si and followed silently behind her.
The two arrived at the stable. Little Xu had already been carried back to his room, and now another groom was guarding the place. When the groom saw that His Highness and Master Yun had come together, he hurriedly got up and went over to pay his respects.
Yun Si first searched carefully around the stable, but found no "ghostly figures". Then she had someone bring Xiao Xuzi over and asked him about the specific details of what he had seen.
Xiao Xu was quite frightened, and Yun Si asked him if he had seen what the ghost looked like.
He said, "It has a blue face and fangs, and is fierce and evil. It rushes out to eat people and horses."
"..."
That's what he imagined a ghost to look like.
Yun Si then asked, "From under which carriage did the ghostly figure emerge, and in which direction did it run?"
Xiao Xu looked completely bewildered.
There was a row of carriages parked outside the stable. He was so scared at the time that he couldn't remember it clearly.
As for where he ran off to, Xiao Xu couldn't give a clear answer.
He must have been so frightened that he went insane.
Unable to obtain any useful information, Yun Si had no choice but to continue searching in the vicinity.
Qin Ye stayed with her the whole time, but he never asked her what she was looking for or why she was so concerned about a "ghostly figure".
"I'm not looking anymore."
The two searched the entire vicinity, but Yun Si, fearing to frighten her, dared not allow the guards in the mansion to conduct a large-scale search.
But the Xiao Prince's mansion is too big, and there are many places where people can hide. If we keep searching like this, we may not be able to find it even after three days and three nights.
If it really was her who followed her to the Prince's residence, then she will definitely show up again.
If it's not true, wouldn't all that effort have been for nothing?
This day was truly full of ups and downs.
Yun Si returned to her room and fell asleep immediately. Qin Ye escorted her back to Qiwu Garden and then returned to the main courtyard.
After all that fuss, the romantic atmosphere has completely vanished, and we'll have to find another opportunity to do this.
I slept well all night.
When Yun Si woke up the next day, she felt a little sore and weak, and had little energy.
This was the first time she had experienced this situation since she started treating herself.
After breakfast, she felt even more listless, and the medication didn't help.
Yun Si did not slack off. Even if she felt unwell, she still had to do what she was supposed to do every day and could not relax for even a day.
When you encounter danger, you'll thank your past self.
After practicing shooting with silver needles for a while, I suddenly felt a turbulent flow in my abdomen.
Yun Si's body suddenly stiffened.
It took me a moment to realize what was going on.
Has she started her period?
She actually... got her period!
Yun Si has only had her period once since she can remember.
Her mother was worried about her at that time, as her period was irregular and she was afraid that she would not be able to get pregnant.
The doctors who examined her said that it would be good enough if she could survive; don't even think about anything else.
Therefore, the reason why she was so easily controlled by Shen Qian was because she did have a serious physical defect and could not give birth like a normal woman.
But now, she's actually getting her period!
Yun Si was very excited.
She couldn't help but be excited.
This means that her health is really improving.
She was no longer a sickly woman who could die at any moment, but a healthy woman who could have children normally.
Yun Si took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but the joy surging in her heart was impossible to suppress.
"Lansing!" she called softly.
Lan Xin entered upon hearing the noise and, seeing Yun Si's unusual expression, immediately became anxious: "Master, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yun Si shook her head, a smile playing on her lips: "Go and prepare things for my period."
Lansing was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened in surprise and he exclaimed, "Master, you...you finally..."
She was so excited that she couldn't speak coherently, and her eyes welled up with tears.
Yun Si nodded gently, and Lan Xin immediately turned around to prepare, her steps so light as if she were about to fly.
After everything was tidied up, Yun Si leaned back on the soft couch, her fingertips gently stroking her lower abdomen.
She remembered what Qin Ye had said last night, "Is your body... okay?"
It turns out that he had always cared about her health, and was even willing to restrain his own desires for her sake...
That idiot.
Yun Si was in a good mood when Lan Xin poked her head in from outside: "My lady, His Highness has arrived."
Before she could finish speaking, Qin Ye had already appeared at the door.
Yun Si sat up from the couch and looked at him with a smile: "Why did you suddenly come over at this time? Have you eaten yet?"
Qin Ye didn't say anything, but silently walked towards her.
As Qin Ye approached, she saw that his expression was very serious, and there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.
Yun Si's smile gradually froze: "What happened?"
