eacted quickly, preventing him from saying it out loud. Otherwise, her life would have been in danger.Sitting at the bottom, Jun Li watched the two of them play charades from afar, seemingly understan...Su Qingying glanced at him, walked back to Su Chengming's side, and expertly checked his pulse. Only after confirming that his physiological functions were no longer leaking did she finally let out a breath of relief.

"Thank you. It seems I'll have to trouble you to stay in the palace for a while until my father awakens."

This time, Su Qingying was truly grateful to him.

Within a month, she had to find a way to cure the worm infestation within a month!

"You're welcome, it's just a small effort. Besides, I don't have anywhere else to go right now, and this place seems quite nice."

Zhao Tianyu readily agreed, without any hesitation, and towards Su Ziyi beside him, he raised an eyebrow with a playful smirk.

Upon seeing this, Su Ziyin's handsome face instantly turned pale. His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he warned in a cold voice: "Hmph, you better behave yourself!"

"What's wrong Brother, do you have a grudge against each other" Su Qingying looked at them with surprise.

Illusion How come I feel that the Crown Prince has a lot of hostility towards this person

Thinking of the shocking scene in the bathroom, Su Ziyì uncomfortably turned his head and mumbled, "It's nothing."

He couldn't possibly tell everyone in public that he, the esteemed East Yue Prince, had been molested by a man! How could he possibly save face!

"By the way, little girl, I heard your name is Su Qingying, is that right"

Zhao Tianyu seemed to be quite interested in Su Qingying, he leaned closer to her a few steps, his handsome face still with that wild and unrestrained smirk.

"What do you want to do!"

As soon as these words were uttered, Jun Liye and Su Ziyi's eyes, sharp as ice shards, instantly shot toward him. Their eyes held an unconcealed murderous intent.

"Boy, if you're thinking of jumping ship, I'm afraid you've got the wrong place!"

Jun Liye strode towards Su Qingying, wrapping his arms tightly around her slender waist. He declared his dominance with a possessive air. His captivating and eerie crimson eyes held a storm of ice and snow within them, a chillingly dangerous aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

Zhao Tianyu twitched the corner of his mouth and instinctively took a few steps back, "Um... everyone please calm down, I was just asking, no ill intentions."

What did he do Wasn't it just a question Were these two really necessary You'd think he had committed some terrible crime the way they reacted.

He gave him a cool glance, Jun Liye decisively took his wife's hand and left, avoiding being poached by some unknown wildflowers. "Let's go, Yinger, it's getting late, let's rest."

"Jun Liye, don't go too far! Let me go, Ying'er!" Su Ziyi's temples bulged with anger as he rushed forward, separating the two.

Before they were married, he would absolutely not allow Jun Liye that dead black heart to touch Ying'er a single hair!

"Alright, stop it both of you." Su Qingying gave them a headache-inducing look and sighed softly, "Your Highness, the matter of Father being poisoned must not be spread. Otherwise, the consequences will be dire."

"Rest assured, Your Highness. I will handle this properly." Su Ziyi lightly nodded. He wouldn't speak about the Emperor's illness; he had to keep it a secret. Otherwise, if the other nations knew, Dongyue would be facing both internal and external threats.

Alas, the prince now has a lot on his plate. Just thinking about that mountain of memorials gives him a headache.

Seeing the exhaustion faintly showing on Su Qingying's face, Su Ziyi gently rubbed her dark hair with concern and said in a soft voice, "Ying'er, you've had a long day too. Go rest."

"Mmm." Su Qingying didn't shirk, and holding onto Jun Liye, she left.

Currently, the Imperial Father's worm poison is temporarily suppressed. Her staying here is useless. Instead of worrying here, she might as well go back and study how to cure the Imperial Father's worm poison.

Leaving Su Chengming's sleeping quarters, everything around was eerily silent. A late evening breeze picked up, bringing a hint of coolness.

Letting Jun Li lead her forward, Su Qingying lowered her eyes somewhat dejectedly and said in a choked voice, "A-Li, I'm so worried about Father. Do you think something might have happened to him"

"Silly girl, don't think about it. Good people will have good fortune. Your father will be fine, don't worry." Jun Liye stopped his steps, turned around and gently hugged her in his arms. His big hand patted her back lightly, his eyes filled with concern.

He had always known Su Qingying as carefree and unrestrained. Never had she seemed so forlorn and downcast.

The South Xinjiang!

It's best not to let him find out that this has anything to do with them, otherwise... Thinking of this, Jun Li's night blood-red eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Hmm." Leaning against Jun Li Ye's warm embrace, Su Qingying's hollow heart felt a little more at ease.

It seems she'll have to pore over all the books about the South Border Poisonous Insects these days and study them thoroughly.

If you know yourself and your enemy, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. She didn't believe she wouldn't even be able to handle a tiny bug!

As midnight approached, Su Ziyì finally managed to finish all his tasks. He rubbed his tired brow and returned to his residence.

"Creak—" The palace gates swung open gently.

"Your Highness, you're back." As Su Ziyi's foot just stepped into the palace door, a voice as smooth and soft as silk came from inside.

Su Ziyin's gaze faltered, and he suddenly raised his eyes to see the woman on his bed lying like a water snake. His face immediately darkened.

"How did you end up in this palace Get out! Ji Yan'er, as the emperor's favored concubine, what are you doing sneaking into my chambers in the middle of the night If you have any shred of shame left, don't commit such an outrageous act!"

Su Ziyi was utterly disgusted by this shameless woman. A clear expression of anger and revulsion appeared on his face, his eyes fixed on her like icy blocks.

Just as the Emperor fell into a coma, this woman rushed into his bedroom without hesitation. How shameless can she be!

She is the emperor's concubine!

To do such a heartless thing, she's really capable of it!

Extremely nauseating!

"Your Highness, Yan'er has admired you for a long time. Ever since Yan'er first laid eyes on you, she could never forget you."

Facing Su Ziyi's angry and icy gaze, Ji Yan'er not only showed no shame, but also got out of bed. Her charming face was flushed, and her moist eyes were full of adoration and joy for Su Ziyi.

Anyway, Su Chengming already has one foot in the coffin. Who knows when he might die She doesn't need to continue suppressing her feelings for him just because of what others think. She needs to fight for her own happiness!

Ji Yan'er smirked to herself.

"Shut up! Shameless!" Glancing at Ji Yan'er's expression, Su Ziyi's disgust and anger intensified. He turned his head away in disgust, the bulging veins on his hand showing his immense restraint.

"Your Highness, Yan'er really likes you. Don't you want Yan'er at all" Ji Yan'er batted her eyelashes seductively and walked towards Su Ziyi gracefully, confessing deeply while slowly taking off the meager clothes she wore.

At a glance, Su Ziyi was shocked by Ji Yan'er's actions. He frowned fiercely, turned away, and reprimanded in a harsh voice: "Ji Yan'er, what are you doing Don't forget your identity, put your clothes back on!"n Yuan Che’s expression was clear to Lan Xin Yao, her heart ached. She glanced away, avoiding his gaze. Her sullen face in the torrential rain was ambiguous, mixed with a madness that defied all reaso...
