Suddenly, a palace maid ran in in a panic and whispered something into Consort Xian's ear. Consort Xian suddenly cried out in surprise, attracting everyone's attention.
"What happened?" Xili Yuan's face was still cold. His icy voice made the officials beside him feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
Consort Xian was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and said,""That…that little palace maid said…said…"
"Hmm?" The wolf-like eyes of the Xili Pool stared at Consort Xian, scaring Consort Xian so much that she shivered.
" It said…it seemed…it seemed to have heard the voice of a promiscuous harem…"
The moment these words were said, all the ministers present sucked in a breath of cold air.
Xili Yuan narrowed his eyes and said coldly,""Lead the way." As he spoke, he strode over. He wanted to see what this Consort Xian was up to. A promiscuous harem? Hmph, did she still think that she was dead?
However, Su Qi, who was in the side hall, suddenly felt that something was wrong. She felt as if her body was heating up. The effects of the alcohol had long passed. How could this be? Moreover…Moreover, there was a desire that was growing in the bottom of her heart. It was surging.
An aphrodisiac? Fragrance?
Su Qi bit her red lips fiercely and scolded herself for being so careless. She did not expect that in this era, destroying a woman's reputation was more serious than killing her. Who hates me so much, but didn't arrange for a man to completely destroy my reputation? What's their motive?
Just as Su Qi was suppressing the burning passion in her heart, a series of footsteps came from afar. Only then did Su Qi understand that person's trick. There were probably many foreign officials among the people outside. A woman who had been drugged with aphrodisiac would lose her virginity in front of a foreign official. The result would probably not be any better than a woman who had lost her innocence. Moreover, this way, there would not be any witnesses left. What a good plan.
They couldn't get out of the main gate. What should they do?
Su Qi opened the window opposite the door and realized that there was a lake under the window. She heard the footsteps of the people outside getting closer and closer, and her body was getting hotter and hotter. Her mind was slowly fading. Su Qi suddenly took off the only hairpin on her head and stabbed it into her arm, allowing the pain to keep her clear. She gripped the hairpin tightly and jumped down from the window without hesitation. She sank to the bottom of the lake and slowly swam to the other side.
At this moment, Su Qi was only relying on her willpower to row non-stop. Only those who had swum before knew how cold the lake water in the first month was. However, the desire that came from the depths of her body came wave after wave. If it wasn't for the cold lake water, Su Qi would have been devoured by this desire long ago.
Xiao Chengzhe was looking at the magical room from afar. He had the urge to drag Ye Suqi out, but it was too late. The emperor and the ministers had already approached him before he could get there.
However, Xiao Chengzhe did not leave. He seemed to want to see how the woman, who had changed so much, would solve this problem. That room was probably not simple either. As he was thinking, he suddenly felt something in the lake in front of him. Hence, Xiao Chengzhe walked over with a fox-like smile.
Su Qi felt as if she had touched the shore. She jumped out of the lake. In her daze, she seemed to see a fairy-like beauty. Her red clothes were flamboyant and hot, and the corners of her mouth were curled up in a seductive manner.
Xiao Chengzhe was also a little shocked. This was a picture of a beautiful woman coming out of the bath. Her wet hair was stuck to her small face that had an abnormal blush. Her misty eyes were staring at him. He suddenly had an urge to hug her fiercely and covet her warmth.
Suddenly, Xiao Chengzhe noticed that someone was walking over. Without thinking, he scooped up Suqi and hugged her in his arms. Then, they hid in the crevice of the rockery.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew. Suqi shivered and regained her clarity. She looked up and saw Xiao Chengzhe's eyes that were as deep as fire. He said in a low and hoarse voice,""Xiao, Xiao Chengzhe…"
Xiao Chengzhe approached her slowly. His warm and moist breath blew by her ear. He sucked on her plump earlobe and bit it lightly."Zhe…"
Su Qi bit her lip, and the blush on her face deepened. "Zhe…"
Then, Xiao Chengzhe's seductive laughter entered Suqi's ears. Suddenly, the familiar pain in her heart surged again. Suqi's originally flushed face instantly turned pale, and even her lips lost their color. Xiao Chengzhe felt that something was wrong and asked in a low voice,""What's wrong?"
" Please…stay away from me…" The gentle voice spat out cruel words.
Xiao Chengzhe's body trembled as he recalled the day Ye Qi flung his hand away and never appeared again. This time, he did not retreat. Instead, he hugged Su Qi even tighter and said,""Isn't it a little too late to say this now? Who was shamelessly pestering me just now, huh?”
Su Qi felt a sharp pain in her heart. It was a pain that was different from before. "Prime Minister Xiao, I am the young master who entered the palace to confer a title.”
Her voice was cold and distant. Su Qi tried her best to put some distance between them.
"Do you think the Emperor wants a woman I've already played with?”Xiao Chengzhe narrowed his eyes. The words that came out of his sexy lips tore Suqi's heart into pieces.
Looking at Suqi's pale face, Xiao Chengzhe suddenly felt a wave of frustration in his heart. A trace of pity flashed across his eyes. Su Qi looked at Xiao Chengzhe in disbelief, as if she did not expect such words to come out of his mouth. She smiled bitterly and said in a slightly hoarse voice,""That's good too. We'll be able to get away from this terrifying place. Thank you, Prime Minister Xiao."
Xiao Chengzhe looked at the stubborn woman in front of him and walked out of the gap in the rockery. He only said that he was bored and left.
Su Qi squatted down and hugged her knees as she cried out. It was as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered. She did not know when she had lost consciousness. When Xiao Chengzhe came back, he saw Suqi lying on the ground with tears in her eyes. She looked so fragile and adorable.
He didn't know why he came back either. He only heard her helpless pain, and that voice seemed to want to tear him apart.
Xiao Chengzhe sighed deeply and carried her away.
That night, Su Qi fell into a deep coma. However, the temperature of her body continued to rise. She soaked in cold water for an entire night before it gradually subsided. However, Su Qi also had a high fever because of this. Cyanosis and Lü Rao took care of him for several days without sleep. It was not until the third day that the fever slowly subsided.
It was night again, and the moon hung high in the sky.
Su Qi, who had been unconscious for three days, finally regained consciousness. She opened her eyes and rubbed her head that was still in pain. She wanted to stand up, but she realized that she did not have any strength at all, so she decided not to get up. Su Qi held onto the bed and realized that she was lying in her room.
That day, wasn't she in the palace…and Xiao Chengzhe…
Su Qi suddenly recalled the scene before she fainted. She thought of her actions, her uncontrollable feelings, and the heart-wrenching pain.
" Miss, you're finally awake... sob..." Cyanosis, who was guarding by Su Qi's side, saw that her Miss had finally woken up and could not help but sob. For the past two days, Cyan had been taking care of Su Qi without taking off her clothes. Her eyes were filled with dark circles and bloodshot.
" I…" Su Qi was about to speak when she realized that her throat was very dry and her voice was hoarse.
Hearing her Miss's request, Cyan quickly stood up and poured a glass of water. He carefully helped Su Qi up and fed her water. Su Qi drank three large glasses in a row before she stopped.
After drinking the water, Su Qi leaned against the bed. "I'm fine. Cyanosis. Tell me what happened in the past two days.”
Cyanosis's eyes turned red when she heard that. She started to talk about what happened that night.
That day, after Cyan returned to the pavilion, he did not find his young miss, so he hurriedly searched for her. Later on, Zilan heard from the palace maid that Miss Ye was too drunk and had already gone back to rest. Thus, Zilan rushed back and found Suqi, whose body was burning hot, placed in ice water.
It turned out that Lü Rao had noticed Su Qi's discomfort, so she had soaked her young miss in cold water for a whole night. The medicinal effects had subsided, but Su Qi had also caught a cold and had a fever.
When Ye Chen heard that his daughter had a fever, he quickly brought Su Qi back to the General's Estate.
On the other side, there was an imperial edict in the Xili Abyss. The masters could return to their residences and wait for the imperial edict before entering the palace to accept the title after the first month.
After listening to the cause and effect, Su Qi had a rough idea. At this moment, Lü Rao pushed open the door and entered. When she saw Su Qi who had recovered, her eyes turned red. She immediately ran to Su Qi's side and whimpered, saying,""Young miss, you finally woke up. You scared these servants to death.”
Seeing how concerned Lu Rao was about her, Su Qi felt warm in her heart. "I'm hungry. Lu Rao, bring me some good food.”
Lu Rao wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and smiled."Yuyan is cooking porridge. She will bring it over in a while. The imperial physician has instructed that Young Lady cannot eat greasy food when she has just woken up. She should not eat too much either.”
Su Qi saw that they were so concerned about her, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up. She still let them take care of her.
Actually, Yu Yan was following behind Lü Rao. When she saw that Su Qi had woken up, she immediately ran to the kitchen to get the porridge that she had cooked for a long time. After a while, Yu Yan came in with the porridge. "Miss, have some porridge."
Under the watchful eyes of Zigan, Lü Rao, and Yu Yan, Su Qi finished the entire bowl of porridge. If it wasn't for the imperial physician's instructions, Zigan would probably have made Su Qi finish the entire bowl of porridge. After finishing the porridge, Su Qi felt that she had regained some strength.
"Miss, you should sleep for a while. Lu Rao is here to guard you.”Lu Rao helped Su Qi lie down and even carefully massaged her back.
After Su Qi laid down, she looked at the three people in front of her and felt her heart ache. "All of you should go and rest. Your eyes are as red as a rabbit's. If all of you fall, who will take care of me? Go and rest."
Lu Rao and the other two were unwilling to go down and rest until Su Qi said that if they didn't go down to rest, she wouldn't go down to rest either. Only then did Lu Rao and the other two obediently go down to rest. Before they left, they would turn back with every step they took. They were still a little worried.
After they left, Su Qi lay on the bed alone.
At this moment, she was not sleepy at all. Her mind was filled with the scenes from that night. When Su Qi thought of that red demon, she felt both love and hate. At this moment, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have a good impression of him. When did it start, or was it just because of this body? However, it was fine no matter what. He was about to enter the palace and become a bird in the golden cage. What was the point of thinking about this?
