Chapter 21 The First Man H

Father, this ruler of a nation is truly absurd! Xiao Ying sighed as she watched the departing figure, slowly sitting down on a large rock. The burning sensation in her lower abdomen once again stirred up a strange pleasure, piercing straight to her heart.

The venom of the Red Spring Serpent was an extremely lustful substance; normally, just a drop was enough to turn a chaste and virtuous woman into a harlot, and Xiao Ying had been poisoned by far more than a drop. Because no expulsion treatment had been performed, Xiao Ying had completely absorbed all the toxins. How could she withstand such a large dose? The waves of heat, growing stronger and stronger, finally aroused the lust that was usually hidden deep in her consciousness. Her court robes had long been torn off and thrown aside, and her trousers were soaked with a large patch of moisture. Xiao Ying had to reach into her dress to remove the trousers, which were now stained with her own lustful fluids. Xiao Ying had experienced this kind of intense heat in her body before in her erotic dreams, but the pleasure she felt now was a hundred times stronger than in those dreams. "Is this what a woman's climax is? Maybe I should have stayed in the Prince's mansion; that was the right choice." Xiaoying regretted her overly strong-willed nature.

Just then, a voice rang in her ear, "Are you a fairy or a demon?!" Xiaoying looked up and saw a young man standing beside her, staring at her with astonishment. He looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, handsome and bright-eyed with a heroic air. Xiaoying's mind must have been clouded by lust, so she hadn't noticed his arrival until he approached and spoke to her.

Perhaps he was stunned by Xiaoying's beauty, thinking she must be a fairy, but her earlier disgraceful state made him think she must be a seductive demon, hence his question? Xiaoying shook her head helplessly, slowly stood up, and smiled slightly at him. At this moment, she was only wearing a white undergarment, her skin like jade, her fragrance like a delicate orchid. Her long skirt swayed in the breeze, flowing like a fairy, but the discarded trousers clearly told him that her private parts beneath the white skirt were completely naked! Her torn top could barely conceal her breasts, which rose and fell with her soft breaths. Large patches of blush tinged her exposed, snow-white skin, and her trembling body was like a peony, blooming before him, ready to be plucked.

Unsurprisingly, Xiaoying saw astonishment and intense desire in his handsome eyes.

"What do you think I should be?" Xiaoying's voice was seductive; even she was surprised at how alluring her voice could be, controlled by lust.

"You are a fairy! You must be my fairy!..." His voice trembled slightly as he excitedly wrapped his arms around Xiaoying's waist, pulling her into his embrace, gazing into her eyes with delight. Although he was handsome, his physique was athletic and well-proportioned, his broad chest completely enveloping her petite frame. His strong arms possessed an incredible allure, and the intense scent of the opposite sex made her dizzy. A surge of hot, wet fluid erupted from the depths of her secret place. "Ah..." With a slight tremor in her body, Xiaoying couldn't help but moan. She lowered her head shyly, burying it in his firm chest, her face pressed tightly against his hard, burning pectoral muscles, panting heavily.

His large hands encircled Xiaoying's waist, reaching inside her undergarments, forcefully caressing her hot, tender body. His fingers traced her waistband, gently pulling off her dress. A slight coolness emanated from her hot, wet lower body. Her snow-white, pert buttocks were exposed under the fiery red sunset, being vigorously kneaded by a pair of hands. Long, slender fingers probed from behind her buttocks between her already wet legs, teasing her pink labia.

"Mmm..." Xiaoying slumped in his arms, tacitly agreeing to all his lewd acts. Her trembling hands loosened his robe sash, reaching inside to embrace his strong waist and caress his naked skin. His crotch was already hard and erect. Xiaoying pulled down his trousers, releasing his masculine desire—thick, hard, and naked, pressing against her lower abdomen.

His large hands impatiently lifted Xiaoying's snowy buttocks, parted her jade-like legs, and aimed his enormous member at her pink, delicate opening. He took a deep breath and slowly inserted it. "Ah!..." Her wet, pink lips, aroused by the aphrodisiac, tightly gripped the thick head of his member. Clear fluid continuously overflowed from her trembling pink opening, flowing down the short section of his thick, erect shaft towards his crotch!

"Oh!..." he growled, "So tight! You're such a beauty!..." He praised as he penetrated deeper, when suddenly he encountered resistance. He instinctively stopped, his beautiful dark eyes flashing with surprise and fervor. "You...you are..." He lowered his head, gazing intently at their joined genitals. Her two wet, red labia were stretched round by his thick member, clinging tightly to his head, trembling incessantly with his entry. This lewd sight made him even harder. He gritted his teeth and panted, saying to Xiaoying, "Lift your head and let me look at you..."

Xiaoying looked up, gazing dreamily at his handsome face flushed with excitement, while he carefully examined her face. "So beautiful! Baby, be my woman!..." He thrust his hips forward forcefully! His

powerful male desire tore through her as they gazed at each other, crashing heavily into her core. Xiaoying's small hands gripped his open shirt tightly, her legs spread wide, her lower abdomen trembling, a large gush of hot, wet fluid soaking them both. Xiaoying finally understood how potent the aphrodisiac was. She felt herself being torn apart, yet felt no pain, only the intense pleasure of being filled. When the fiery dragon head struck her deepest point, she completely collapsed, a tingling, sharp sensation washing over her! Her lower abdomen convulsed violently, her private parts trembling and contracting, a surge of heat erupting forth, sweet nectar from her tender flesh squeezing out, wetting his thick, long member deeply inserted into her!

"Ah!..." Xiaoying frowned, biting her lips. Her first orgasm was so swift, so intense!

Xiaoying's orgasm clearly stimulated the man. "Oh..." he groaned, thrusting wildly. Xiaoying opened her honeyed depths, enduring his repeated impacts. The powerful, wet contractions of her honeyed depths, her slightly parted lips moaning softly, further stimulating the man's desire, making his thrusts even more violent.

At this moment, Xiaoying seemed to have lost her own consciousness, only instinctively opening herself up to let him thrust and make love to her. Her whole body fell into the man's naked chest. "Ah!..." she screamed, trembling as she rushed to the top again...

The numbing heat made the girl soft into the man's arms. The climax just now made her fragrant skin tighter than ever before, stimulating the man to rush to the peak instantly. He grabbed the girl's snowy buttocks with both hands and slammed into the deepest part.

"Ah!..." Xiaoying screamed, her jade body tightening violently, and a large gush of crystal hot liquid gushed out. The man's huge thing violently sprayed hot torrents, washing over the girl's lustful flower core, pushing Xiaoying to another peak! ...

Chapter 022 Poisoning (1)

Under the fiery red sunset, a young boy and girl were tightly entwined together, feeling the afterglow of the climax. Only after he slowly withdrew from the girl's body did he gently set her down, handling her as if she were a fragile vase. He cupped her face and softly asked, "What's your name?"

After the passion subsided, Xiaoying regained some clarity, looking at him with complicated emotions. This handsome young man, who looked even younger than her, had become her man! It was unbelievable that she would make love with a stranger! Xiaoying remained outwardly calm, trying to comfort herself: Perhaps fate is still looking out for me. At least, this man's eyes are so pure, giving me a sense of security. Maybe it's better to have him than that hypocrite!

Suddenly, Xiaoying felt something flowing from her lower body, a stream of fluid sliding down her slender legs. It must be his… He had clearly noticed, his handsome eyes fixed on between her legs. How embarrassing! Xiaoying pushed him away in shame, hurriedly picking up her clothes and putting them on, not caring about her disheveled state. Her lower body was slippery; how could she possibly put on underwear? Clutching only the swaddled trousers and court robes, she fled without looking back.

The young man chased after her, demanding, "Which palace are you from? What's your name?..." Xiaoying dared not answer. Relying on her superior lightness of foot, she ran away as if fleeing.

Fortunately, it was late, and Xiaoying's escape and concealment skills were excellent. She dodged several palace servants along the way and escaped back to her residence unharmed. To avoid alerting others, she didn't dare use the main entrance but instead sneaked into the room through the window.

She lit the lamp and looked in the mirror at her reflection after their lovemaking. Her disheveled undergarments couldn't conceal her allure; her dark hair was loose, her skin flushed, and beads of sweat glistened on her skin. Xiaoying smiled bitterly, reached for the medicine cabinet, took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out a pill, and swallowed it. Then, she put the bottle away, took out a small medicine box, and applied the powder inside to her nails. After doing all this, she closed the medicine cabinet, climbed into bed, and lay down. She took a deep breath; she had taken contraceptive pills, so she shouldn't be pregnant. She quietly gazed at the ceiling, waiting for his arrival. Sure enough, a moment later, she heard the courtyard gate being pushed open, and a young eunuch announced, "The Regent has arrived!"

Because Xiaoying was a female official, the Imperial Hospital had prepared a separate courtyard for her, and the Empress Dowager had specially assigned several maids to serve her. Hearing the Regent's sudden arrival, they all rushed out to greet him. Xiaoying lay in bed and smiled coldly. He had indeed discovered it! In fact, when she saw her flushed face in the mirror, she realized he had already noticed her unease. While the wound could be concealed by clothing, the blush on her face was impossible to hide; it was easily visible with a little attention, especially since he had been observing her closely.

The only reason he hadn't assaulted her on the street was because he valued his reputation and didn't want a scandalous public display of lewdness. His purpose in coming here now was obvious.

"Is Imperial Physician Li here?" It was Leng Xiao's voice.

"Lord Li hasn't returned yet..." It was Xiao Yan who answered. Xiao Yan was the head apothecary here. Because of her rudimentary knowledge of pharmacology, she had been sent by the Empress Dowager to help Xiao Ying. She had benefited from Xiao Ying's connections, unexpectedly obtaining a ninth-rank official position. Usually, when Xiao Ying wasn't around, she was in charge. She had assumed Xiao Ying hadn't returned yet, but halfway through her sentence, she saw the light in Xiao Ying's room and stopped abruptly.

"Alright, you may all leave," Leng Xiao said indifferently, walking to the door and entering Xiao Ying's room. He had accumulated considerable influence in the palace for a long time. Although it was improper for him to enter a woman's boudoir without permission, the people in the courtyard were only surprised and no one dared to stop him. They were stunned for a moment and then silently retreated to their own rooms.

Chapter 023 Poisoning (2)

The reason he did not molest her on the road was simply because he cherished his reputation and did not want to be exposed for public lewdness. It was obvious what his purpose was in coming here at this time.

"Is the Imperial Physician Li here?" It was Leng Xiao's voice.

"Lord Li has not returned yet..." It was Xiao Yan's voice that answered him. Xiao Yan was the head of the medicine boy here. Because she had some knowledge of pharmacology, she was sent by the Empress Dowager to help Xiao Ying. She also benefited from Xiao Ying's influence and got a ninth-rank official position for no reason. Usually, when Xiao Ying was not around, she was in charge. She thought that Xiao Ying had not returned yet, but she stopped talking when she saw the light in Xiao Ying's room.

"Alright, you can all leave." Leng Xiao said lightly, walked to the door, and pushed the door open to enter Xiao Ying's room. He had long held considerable power in the palace, and although his unauthorized intrusion into a woman's boudoir was improper, the people in the courtyard were merely surprised, but no one dared to stop him. After a moment of stunned silence, they all quietly retreated to their own rooms.

He walked to Xiaoying's bedside, completely unconcerned that she lay on the bed ignoring his impolite behavior. In reality, Xiaoying was suffering in silence; her body was weak and powerless, unable to stand up. The aphrodisiac power of the snake venom was simply too strong. Despite having just engaged in intense lovemaking, her lower abdomen was still burning unbearably, even more intensely than before. The recent sex had acted as a trigger, activating the true potency of the aphrodisiac. In truth, she knew very well that such an extremely aphrodisiac could not be completely eradicated by a single act of lovemaking, especially given the large dose she had absorbed.

He glanced at the coat and swaddled pants Xiaoying had thrown on the ground, then his gaze shifted to her shapely legs exposed beneath her dress, her breasts faintly visible beneath her undergarments, finally settling between her legs. His eyes were filled with astonishment and desire. Xiaoying closed her eyes, outwardly cold but inwardly struggling to maintain her composure. Although she was now barely clothed, her body exposed, she didn't want to reveal the lust aroused by the aphrodisiac in front of this man.

He chuckled, a hint of smugness in his voice, "Indeed a beauty..." He reached out and caressed her bare legs. The stimulation from his touch sent a shiver through her lower abdomen, arousing the pleasure she had been forcibly suppressing. Xiaoying gasped, her breasts heaving, biting her cherry lips in despair. But he persisted, his large hand sliding down her inner thigh beneath her skirt, directly caressing her private parts!

At this moment, facing his lewdness, Xiaoying was helpless. The strong poison not only made her weak and powerless, but also made her crave male stimulation. She could not refuse the pleasure he brought her.

"Baby, you know better than me how strong snake venom is, right? You can't help it. Look how wet you are now! No woman can remain unmoved by my touch! You can't beat me! I will make you feel like you're floating under my crotch! Baby, scream it out! Let me see how lewd you are!..." Still relying on your hands? How can you enjoy it?

Chapter 024 Poisoning (3) h

"Hmm!..." His teasing was so stimulating! Xiaoying finally couldn't control herself and let out a muffled groan. His fingers were flexible and experienced, and quickly found her sensitive spot, wantonly ravaging and teasing it. The electric-like pleasure burst out like a flood! She was instantly overwhelmed. The hot fluid the boy had just ejaculated inside her was squeezed out by the contractions of her lower abdomen. Satisfied, he lifted her dress, pushing it up to her waist, completely exposing her lower body to his eyes. His handsome eyes were filled with lust, fixed on the girl's honeyed spot! The snow-white fluid was mixed with a trace of red blood. The boy's bounty was so abundant that even Xiaoying was somewhat surprised. Adorned with this fluid, Xiaoying's legs were like pear blossoms in the rain, dotted with red plum blossoms—a beautiful and alluring sight.

However, this beautiful scene did not please the man before her. On the contrary, his handsome eyes changed from lust to surprise, then from surprise to shock, and finally to anger! Xiaoying, however, deliberately spread her legs, displaying the white semen mixed with virgin blood to him, a mocking smile on her face. She coldly said, "You're too late! You'll never get what's most important to me!"

"Who is he?!" he roared angrily, his fists clenched tightly, his handsome face contorted in pain.

"A stranger. To prevent you from finding him, I didn't even ask his name! Anyway, we had a very pleasant time!"

"A stranger! You actually had an affair with a stranger!" His handsome eyes were cold and piercing as he stared at Xiaoying, his icy gaze seemingly able to penetrate her very soul. Xiaoying raised her head slightly, glaring back defiantly. The room fell silent, as if frozen.

After a long while, his eyes darkened, and he said sadly, "Do you hate me that much?"

"Hate? No, you don't deserve it. I just didn't sense you!" Xiaoying glanced at him contemptuously.

"Bang!" He punched the dressing table beside him, shattering it to pieces! His handsome eyes, blazing with fury, glared at Xiaoying and roared, "You slut! It's your good fortune that I've taken a liking to you! How dare you...you..." He was too angry to continue speaking, and in the end, he could only point at Xiaoying, panting heavily, his face ashen.

After a long while, he gradually calmed down. He frowned and pondered for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something. He sneered, giving Xiaoying a meaningful look, and said, "Hmph! Are you trying to provoke me? Haha, do you think I'd find you disgusting? And then abandon you?" He slowly walked to the bedside, leaned down, and stared into her eyes, saying calmly, "No one can beat me at fighting! Neither can you!" He slowly and deliberately unbuttoned her undergarments, revealing her rosy, rounded breasts. His large hands caressed them, watching as she, though trying to suppress her desire, still... Her breasts swayed, her hazy eyes revealing a seductive allure. He smirked lewdly, "What kind of lewd games haven't I played? Gang rape? I've done that before! Do you know why the current emperor loves to share a woman with others? That's what I taught him! The one I played with with the emperor was his favorite, Consort Liu. Haha, Consort Liu is the most beautiful woman in this palace, playing with her is quite a unique experience!"

He stripped off his clothes, revealing his muscular body, his erect and large member surprising Xiao Ying. Seeing Xiao Ying's astonished look, he said smugly, "Isn't my treasure big enough? Once it's inside you, I guarantee you'll feel pleasure to the core! I want to see how many times you, you slut, can withstand my ministrations!" With that, he climbed onto the bed, parted Xiao Ying's beautiful legs, gripped her tightly with both hands, and thrust his enormous head through her pink lips, penetrating her deeply!

Chapter 025 Poisoning (4) h

“Ah!…” The violent thrusting made Xiaoying scream. He was too big! Xiaoying finally experienced the kind of stimulation this mature and strong man gave her. He was much bigger than that immature boy, filling her up completely. Xiaoying had to open up to the maximum so that she could bear his penetration! Her vagina, which was already filled with turbid fluid, was wet and slippery. Although she was stimulated by the intense pleasure and arched her body to tighten her lower abdomen, it could not stop his intrusion at all and instead caused an even more intense heat wave!

“Oh… little beauty! You are so tight! You did not disappoint me!” He stared excitedly at their wet and slippery place of union. “I should really thank that wild man before. Look how sensitive he made you? However, he obviously did not satisfy you! Today I will let you taste the real taste of a man!” After saying that, his strong body pressed down hard on Xiaoying, and his broad chest almost buried the petite girl completely in the bedding! With a powerful thrust, his strong body plunged heavily into the girl's body! "Ah!..." Just one thrust aroused Xiaoying's climax! Unexpectedly, his skill, honed through countless encounters, was so adept! A single impact precisely targeted her most sensitive spot!

Although Xiaoying was well aware of the potency of the poison, she still hadn't anticipated the intensity of his stimulation! She instantly reached orgasm, while the man on top of her was momentarily stunned by her stimulation, followed by a frenzied series of thrusts. Each impact brought her intense stimulation, and the climax he had aroused showed no signs of abating. Under his skillful and precise ministrations, the intoxicating heat was pushed higher and higher, swirling in her mind, making her feel as if she were on cloud nine.

Xiaoying felt both ashamed and angry at her own sensitivity. Even though she was being pinned down by a man she disliked, she was still experiencing waves of pleasure. The feeling of her clitoris being forcibly possessed by a male didn't arouse her; instead, it stimulated her. Every time he thrust in, the depths of Xiaoying's clitoris trembled and tightened. He clearly sensed the subtle sensations deep within her, and chuckled lewdly yet elegantly, "Oh...baby, your thing is truly wonderful. You're so wanton under me. Can that wild man compare to me?" With that, he suddenly increased the force and speed of his thrusts.

"Mmm!..." The sudden attack finally shattered Xiaoying's last shred of reason. This man's penis could thrust so intensely, so forcefully? Compared to that boy, this penis was far more captivating. The boy's penetration always carried a naive desire and reckless passion, while this man's penetration was a mature and subtly seductive act, skillfully arousing her lust while simultaneously possessing a powerful force, forcefully dominating her private parts! So this is how lewd sexual intercourse can be! Xiaoying is now completely conquered by the man's thrusting. Her tender, fragrant skin clings tightly to the massive, deeply inserted penis. This tight, sweet grip finally ignites his madness, and he thrusts with all his might. The sounds of "slap, slap, slap..." echo as his semen mixes with the girl's vaginal fluids, slamming in and out with a wet, slippery sound. "Mmm..." A suppressed moan escapes her lips, her petite body arching and tensing, her fragrant skin reaching its peak...

The man on top of her, unable to bear the tight grip of her flesh, thrusts with all his might into the girl's deepest depths. "Ah!" It's too deep! Xiaoying can even clearly feel that he has penetrated to places the boy has never reached before, the enormous glans throbbing within that forbidden zone! A scorching, burning torrent fiercely washes over the girl's fragrant skin!

"Ah!" Xiaoying screamed, arching her body and tightly wrapping her arms around his back. Her fingers dug into the hard muscles of his back, her slender fingers digging deep into his skin, drawing blood! The boundless pleasure forced her to spread her legs as wide as possible, trembling and tensing beneath him, helplessly and excitedly enduring his wanton and violent ejaculation!

After releasing his pent-up desire, the man held the limp and powerless Xiaoying, his dark eyes fixed on her pretty face. At this moment, Xiaoying's eyes were closed in a daze, her pretty face flushed, her loose robe wide open, revealing a pair of firm and round breasts covered in red, her lower body soaked, the semen that had been forcibly poured into her flowing from her pink and white slits.

"You're truly born with a seductive nature! I have to admit, you're a beauty that men find irresistible!" His large, fair hands caressed Xiaoying's alluring body. When his fingers wandered to her smooth, white abdomen, they reignited the heat within the girl's lower abdomen, causing a tremor in her private parts and squeezing out more semen. He smiled slightly, his slender fingers continuing downwards, directly touching her wet, pink lips. "Mmm..." He successfully provoked Xiaoying's moan. Although she had just climaxed, Xiaoying almost instantly succumbed to lust the moment he touched her.

"You still want more, don't you? You should know very well how potent lust poison is. I've tried it on Consort Liu before; she craved men for an entire night, and she didn't even know how many men gang-raped her! You'll be the same; tonight you'll crave it all night too! Haha, look here..." He pressed down on Xiaoying's shoulders, leaving her no way to escape. The enormous thing that had just ejaculated stood erect again, still so robust, so hot, and proudly erect! "Do you understand now? Only my darling can satisfy you tonight!" Xiao Ying clearly felt the heat on that thick, long thing, and buried her face in his chest muscles in embarrassment.

Chapter 026 Poisoning (5)h

"Haha! Little beauty, tonight I will definitely make you feel like you're in heaven!" He spread Xiao Ying's long, beautiful legs apart with his big hand, and thrust his waist in hard. "Ah!..." As soon as he entered, he let out a charming and seductive moan from Xiao Ying. She felt the tender flesh in her honeyed place tighten again, and the hot flesh clung to the rampaging giant thing. The continuous pleasure made Xiao Ying forget herself and open her beautiful legs, revealing the layers of fragrant and tender flesh, welcoming the huge, hot head of the dragon, her trembling forbidden place filled with the pleasure of being filled. Xiao Ying could no longer withstand such strong stimulation and could not help but sink into the sea of desire.

On the spacious bed, a naked man and woman engaged in a frenzied, lewd act. What shamed and angered Xiaoying most was that she was being raped and ravaged by a strong, unattractive man she didn't even like, driven to the brink of ecstasy! No matter how hard she tried to endure, she couldn't suppress the burgeoning desire, until it erupted, overwhelming her reason. He once again thrust forcefully into the deepest part of her wet, slippery flower, his large glans forcing open her tender, soft core, ejaculating thick semen into her forbidden depths…

For the entire night, both were controlled by lust. Xiaoying had lost count of how many times he had raped her. He was exceptionally strong, thrusting into her private parts almost all night, each act bringing her immense pleasure and orgasm. That pure physical pleasure gave her incredible joy; perhaps it was the lustful drug that made her so wanton? Xiaoying tried to comfort herself, searching for reasons to justify her indulgence in lust. Finally, she fainted during an incredibly intense climax and drifted into a deep sleep.

When Xiaoying woke up, she saw a pair of bright eyes staring intently at her in the bright sunlight, and a pair of strong arms holding her in their arms. Their naked bodies were tightly intertwined. Xiaoying frowned, recalling her debauchery the previous night, and couldn't help but feel a flush of heat. Her gaze towards the man before her held a hint of anger. Sensing her shame and anger, a shadow of sadness flashed in his bright eyes, and he said in a low voice, "You're awake?" Xiaoying pushed him away and turned to the side, pretending he wasn't there. Surprisingly, he wasn't angry. He slowly got up, his naked, muscular body exuding an alluring masculine charm in the sunlight, especially the several bloody marks on his back, which reminded her of her wildness the previous night, and she felt another wave of shame and indignation. He slowly put on his clothes, his complex gaze never leaving her naked body.

After he was dressed, he said to Xiaoying, "You should rest well today. You don't need to go to the Empress Dowager's place." There was a hint of defeat in his calm tone, but the moment he turned and stepped out of the room, he regained his usual arrogant demeanor. There were already servants in the courtyard; the eunuchs he brought must have been waiting there all night. As soon as he left the room, they hurriedly followed and opened the courtyard gate for him, while several palace maids under Xiaoying's command knelt down and cried out in unison, "Respectfully seeing off the Regent!"

Hmph! He acted as if the Emperor were visiting him! Xiaoying coldly watched his retreating figure, a mocking smile curving her lips. How could someone watching fish on a bridge know that the fish in the water below weren't watching people? He thought he had outmaneuvered her and gained the upper hand, but how could he know that she would also outmaneuver him? Xiaoying raised her hand, coldly admiring her beautiful, bright red fingernails, still bearing traces of the powder he had applied before his rape. The bloodstains on his back weren't just from her losing control during her orgasm; the real reason was: poison!

Raping the granddaughter of a poison king comes at a price! It's a slow-acting poison that enters the skin through the bloodstream. Initially, it has a stimulating effect, making one feel constantly energetic. After a while, the toxin seeps into the bones, causing the poisoned person to experience heightened libido and intense lust. After even longer, once the toxin reaches the marrow, it becomes incurable. At this point, the poisoned person becomes unrestrained and addicted to sensual pleasures, and within eight months, their body will be drained of its vitality by lust, ultimately leading to death from exhaustion!

Because of the initial stimulating effect of this poison, it's difficult for someone to realize they've been poisoned, so no one checks. Even when the toxin has penetrated to the bones and caused a surge in libido, the person will only proudly believe they are strong and energetic, never suspecting they've been poisoned. By the time the poison had seeped into his marrow, even if he sensed something was wrong, it would be too late. Moreover, this poison was a secret formula developed by Xiaoying's maternal grandfather, known only to a few people close to her. Therefore, Xiaoying was completely confident that the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital wouldn't be able to detect it. She believed the man who had raped her wouldn't live more than eight months!

For the next few days, Xiaoying stayed in the Imperial Hospital without leaving her room. Presumably, the news of the Regent spending the night in her room had already spread. No matter how calm she appeared, she had still been raped by a man. Xiaoying could imagine what the palace maids and eunuchs would say about her behind her back. Therefore, she stayed indoors to avoid the limelight. Although she had nothing to do in her room, she kept thinking about another troubling matter: who was the boy who had taken her virginity? Judging from his attire, he couldn't possibly be a palace guard, and there were no other palace servants with him that day. This meant he could freely enter and leave the palace, and the only people with such freedom besides Leng Xiao were the princes in the palace who hadn't yet been granted a residence or title. Could it be that she gave her first time to one of her younger brothers? ...No way! Xiao Ying immediately stopped this shocking speculation, waved her hand to drive away these messy thoughts, and buried herself in bed to sleep.

Chapter 027 Reprimand (1)

While Xiao Ying was staying at home, something else happened in Cining Palace. When the man who had raped Xiao Ying walked into Cining Palace looking refreshed, Leng Yan, the elder sister of the current Empress Dowager Leng Xiao, was sitting in the center with a stern face. When she saw him come in, she coldly asked, "Did you stay at Li Xiao Ying's place last night?"

Leng Xiao was taken aback. The news spread really fast! He chuckled nonchalantly, "Not bad, that woman was amazing! After a whole night of this, I'm a little thirsty." Without letting the maids serve him, he picked up the teapot from the table, poured himself a cup of warm tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

Leng Yan, her face grim, waved her hand, and the maids and eunuchs silently withdrew from the hall. After closing the door, only the two siblings remained inside. The Empress Dowager coldly stared at Leng Xiao and angrily said, "Kneel down!"

Leng Xiao was taken aback, thinking: It's just a woman, is it really worth this much? But he had always regarded his only sister as a mother, and although he felt somewhat resentful, he still knelt down.

"You've really gotten bold now! You've slept with all the beautiful women in this palace, haven't you? Now you even dare to take official positions appointed by the court! You're so powerful, I wonder when you'll overthrow that tyrant and become emperor yourself?"

Leng Xiao lowered his head, not daring to answer, but Leng Yan didn't let him off the hook, continuing to press, "Tell me, when will you ascend the throne?"

"Sister, I...I dare not..."

"Dare not? Aren't you in complete control now? Why don't you dare?" Leng Yan narrowed her phoenix eyes and questioned.

"Because...because I haven't yet obtained some military power, and there are still some old ministers in the court who are loyal to the Zhao family." Leng Xiao explained in a low voice, never daring to look his sister in the eye.

"Hmph! You know that too? I thought you were planning to become emperor today!" Leng Yan slammed her hand on the table angrily.

"Sister, I...I'm sorry!" Leng Xiao hurriedly apologized when he saw his sister was angry.

“Sigh…” Seeing her younger brother’s guilty expression, Leng Yan sighed and softened her tone, saying, “Let me ask you, more than twenty years ago, when the late emperor suddenly passed away, I issued an imperial edict appointing you as regent. Why didn’t those important officials in the court oppose us?”

Leng Xiao frowned and said in a low voice, “Because the emperor was too young to rule personally, and my elder sister ruled from behind the curtain in the name of the Empress Dowager. My elder sister’s edicts were equivalent to imperial edicts, so those officials loyal to the Zhao family naturally had no reason to oppose us.”

“Then, more than ten years later, when the emperor came of age and began to rule personally, why didn’t

they remove your position as regent and let you hold absolute power?” “Because most of the officials believed that the current emperor was licentious and immoral, and that handing the country over to him would be detrimental to the country. Therefore, they preferred to continue my regentship to restrain the emperor. Moreover, since I have accomplished something since taking power, they have tolerated my absolute power.”

“If that’s the case, what if you were as licentious and immoral as the current emperor? Would those officials still support you?”

“…” Leng Xiao lowered his head, speechless.

“Hmph! Accomplish something?” Leng Yan sneered, "It seems you've had such a smooth ride these past few years that you've forgotten how capable you really are! Do you really think you're a brilliant strategist, a capable minister? Those lowly officials and commoners may not know the truth, but the real high-ranking officials know it all too well! Since you became regent, the achievements you've made are nothing more than continuing the policies of the Grand Tutor Xu Qian from the late emperor's reign. You yourself have nothing to boast about; at best, you've just been a laissez-faire ruler! Even the battle that defeated the Liao Kingdom in the north was won by the Grand Tutor..." Xu Qian orchestrated the battle from the rear, forging powerful crossbows and divine weapons, while the Prince of Zhennan fought valiantly on the front lines, ultimately achieving a complete victory over the Northern Kingdom. Your central army barely had time to engage in combat before the war was over! So, strictly speaking, this victory was not your achievement at all! If it weren't for your father resigning to retire in exchange for the late emperor's decree appointing you as commander, where would you have gotten your famous battle? Tell me, in what aspect have you actually accomplished anything?

Chapter 28 Reprimand (2)

Leng Xiao lowered his head in shame, suppressing his earlier dissatisfaction. He truly had nothing to say. Since he became regent, he had indeed accomplished nothing. However, the many innovative policies of the Grand Preceptor Xu Qian had gradually taken effect after several years of implementation, and the country began to prosper. In addition, the brother and sister held power and promoted the policies in a timely manner, which established their image as capable ministers among the people. However, those ministers who knew the inside story did not value them much. Even he himself was well aware that he was not a great talent or a capable minister.

“Before, when you accompanied that tyrannical emperor in his foolish ways, I didn’t say anything to you because you were serving the emperor. With the emperor’s decree in place, even if you were fooling around on orders, the court officials would only criticize the tyrannical emperor, and no one would blame you. But this time, you actually openly raped a court official! You should know that you have not only insulted a woman, but she is a court official! She represents the interests of all the court officials! What will those important officials who were not very supportive of you think of you?”

Leng Xiao was already drenched in cold sweat, filled with remorse. Seeing her younger brother's state, Leng Yan felt a pang of pity and slowly said, "I've already issued a gag order for this matter, but there are too many spies in the palace. This matter will inevitably spread sooner or later. You must not associate with that woman again. I'll give her some more benefits. As long as we deny everything, she won't be foolish enough to confess. This way, the court officials won't have any evidence, and even if they have objections, they won't be able to voice them. Over time, this matter will simply fade away. However, you must be more careful in the future!"

"Yes, brother will definitely be careful in the future! I will never dare to be so reckless again."

"Hmm! It's good that you understand this principle. Get up." Watching her younger brother stand up, Leng Yan calmly said, "These years have been too smooth for us. We thought it was a good thing, but now it seems it might not be so! Do you remember how Father was defeated back then? It was because things were going too smoothly that we became careless and were brought down by the late emperor."

"Back then, the late emperor was still the crown prince. The old emperor was incompetent and foolish, and Father seized the opportunity to consolidate his power. Back then... alas! Our Leng family paid a heavy price to gain power!" At this point, Leng Yan had to speak ambiguously. Back then, their father had schemed and plotted to marry her off to the crown prince as a concubine. That old emperor was truly licentious and shameless, and he even set his sights on her, his daughter-in-law. For the sake of the family's interests, she went along with it, abandoning all shame and making love with that foolish emperor.

Hearing this, Leng Xiao felt a pang of pain in his heart. He knew very well how much his sister had sacrificed for the family. She had given up the man she deeply loved, married the crown prince at the time, and then abandoned ethics to seduce her father-in-law. The price she paid was immense, and he himself... His regret deepened even more.

Leng Yan recalled the past with a melancholy tone, "Everything was going very smoothly at first. Father thought the time was ripe, so he assassinated the tyrannical emperor and placed the crown prince on the throne. The crown prince was just an eighteen-year-old boy, utterly incompetent. At that time, there were floods in the country and enemies in the north. In a few years, Father could use these crises to force him to abdicate in his favor."

"Perhaps we were too complacent, which is why we couldn't see the late emperor's merits. Although he was young and incompetent, he had a keen eye. He immediately recognized Xu Qian, who was then just a commoner, and defied all opposition to appoint him as the Grand Preceptor of our Great Zhao! Ironically, we didn't think highly of Xu Qian either, thinking the late emperor was young and ignorant, making a mess of court affairs. We not only didn't stop him, but we also fueled his ambitions behind the scenes. We thought we could use Xu Qian's mistakes as an opportunity to attack him, but we never expected that Xu Qian would actually be such a talent. Controlling the floods and building divine weapons were unparalleled feats, and he established himself as emperor in just a few short years." His unparalleled prestige allowed the late emperor to promote many capable confidants. Xu Qian, with the late emperor's cooperation, also established the Mechanized Battalion, creating a powerful force within the Imperial Guard that we couldn't control.

But these alone weren't enough to shake our foundations. What surprised us most was that the late emperor actually provoked the Northern Kingdom! At that time, the North was strong and the South weak, and we had always been tolerant of the Northern Kingdom, never proactively provoking them. At the time, we all thought the late emperor had made a foolish move. Only after the war ended did we realize it was a brilliant two-pronged strategy!

The Northern Kingdom's cavalry was always highly mobile; when concentrated, they were formidable, but when scattered, they were impossible to locate. They are extremely difficult to deal with. In previous wars between the North and South, the South had generally been defeated. Therefore, the North has always been arrogant and domineering. This time, the South has taken the initiative to provoke the North, which has clearly angered them. In their fury, the North has almost mobilized its entire force, which conveniently abandoned their advantage of high mobility, allowing the South's well-rested and prepared army to ambush and annihilate them! This is the first reason.

The second reason is that the late Emperor, under the pretext of resisting foreign enemies, reasonably transferred the Xiangyang army of the Prince of Zhennan and the Qi army of the Prince of Zhendong to the North. After the war, the late Emperor, under the guise of rewarding the three armies, issued an edict ordering the Prince of Zhennan to lead the Xiangyang army to the capital for the Emperor's inspection. Hehe, if it really is... "Once the Xiangyang army enters the capital, our Leng family's days are numbered! Father, believing all was lost, fell ill in despair and eventually passed away! Looking back now, we were too successful, so we overlooked many crises, leading to our disastrous defeat.

But wasn't the late Emperor also too successful, overlooking crises? He left the Imperial Workshop for a woman, which gave us the opportunity to eliminate him. Brother, think carefully, how different are we from the late Emperor? Are you also going to ruin your reputation and lose the support of the court officials for a woman?"

"Sister, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong!" Leng Xiao lowered his head in shame, sincerely apologizing to his sister.

“Alright, sister knows you’re truly repentant. All I’ve said is to remind you that we must be prepared for danger even in times of peace. If we want to ultimately succeed, we need to be careful in everything we do!”

“Understood, sister!”

Leng Yan nodded with relief and added, “Also, please pass on a message to him…” When she said “him,” Leng Yan blushed. Both siblings knew who she was referring to. Hearing his sister mention “him,” Leng Xiao felt both heartache and relief. Heartache because “he” was the only man his sister truly loved, yet she had to break up with him for the sake of the family. Relief because “he” had always remained devoted to his sister, secretly protecting her and even poisoning the late emperor at the most crucial moment, allowing the Leng family to turn the tide. Since the late emperor’s death, although “he” and his sister couldn’t openly interact, they had remained a secret couple.

"Tell him not to enter the palace for the time being. Let him concentrate on investigating Li Xiaoying's background. Although I can't see anything wrong with her, it's always better to be safe than sorry. It's always good to investigate thoroughly!"

"Yes, brother, I'll go and deliver the message right away."

Watching her brother's departing figure, Leng Yan sighed inwardly. Her brother was originally a steady person, so how could he lose control when he met that woman? That woman... sigh! I have to find a way to get rid of this troublemaker!

Chapter 029 The buying and selling

of the Cining Palace Xiaoying was of course unaware of the affairs between the siblings, but she did receive an imperial edict from the Empress Dowager. The edict stated that because she had cured the Empress Dowager's illness, the Empress Dowager would bestow a large mansion in a prosperous area of the capital upon Guang Sheng Tang. The residence was originally a cloth shop, belonging to the Leng family. It was given to Leng Yan as part of her dowry when she married, intended to provide her with some money after marriage. However, since Leng Yan became Empress Dowager, she no longer needed that money, so it was converted into a residence for Leng Yan to rest when she left the palace.

Now, this residence was bestowed upon Xiao Ying, a rare act of favor that aroused envy and jealousy in many. However, Xiao Ying gleaned a message from it: "You've been given the benefit, so keep your mouth shut!"

Actually, Xiao Ying felt the Empress Dowager was being overly generous. Although the Zhao Dynasty was known for its open-mindedness, how could she possibly go around announcing that she had been raped? Nevertheless, since the Empress Dowager had offered the benefit, Xiao Ying accepted it without hesitation. As a court official, she already had the right to enter and leave the palace. Several days earlier, Xiao Ying had made contact with the people from Guang Sheng Tang who arrived later. Now, with the residence, she quickly established a branch of Guang Sheng Tang with almost no effort.

After several busy days outside the palace, she finally remembered she should return to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager. Although everyone understood that she had gone out to avoid trouble, which was beneficial to both sides, she couldn't stay outside forever. After all, her job as a royal physician was within the palace.

Just as Xiaoying was preparing to return, her lecherous master suddenly darted into her room through the window. Xiaoying glared at him, annoyed. Every time he came to see her, it was the same way; he never used the door.

"Master! You're a fine young man, why don't you know how to use the door?"

Her young master blinked, glanced at the door, and said, "It's a habit."

Xiao Ying rubbed her head, utterly speechless at her master. "Master, you've come at the perfect time. I've found a good job for Grandmaster; you can take this message back with you."

"A good job? He's just a bandit, what good job could he possibly have?" Her master's tone was utterly disdainful.

Xiao Ying rolled her eyes at him. "The Assistant Minister of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, how about that? Isn't that a good job?"

Her master's eyes widened in disbelief. "How did you get involved with the Zhennan Prince's Mansion?"

Xiao Ying almost jumped up; if he weren't her master, she'd really want to kick his butt! "What do you mean I seduced the Prince of Zhennan? You've been seducing her for a while now!"

Master scratched his head, blinking his charming eyes with a bewildered expression. Xiaoying, her face darkening, "kindly" reminded him, "About you seducing the Princess of Zhennan..."

Master's expression changed. "How did you know? Oh... I mean, I didn't seduce her. She went to a brothel, and I... you know... then, she... you know... and finally, I... you know... wait, who told you that?"

Sigh! It seems Xiaoying's master is truly exceptionally dull-witted. "Princess Xiangyang! Humph! You've revealed your true colors, and you were seen at Guang Sheng Hall, so they've come to me!"

"So, they've figured out our situation?"

"Not only have they figured it out, but they also want to cooperate with us."

"Cooperate?"

"That's right. They have some informants in the palace who can provide me with information about my father and even help me meet him. However, the condition is that my grandmaster becomes a guest minister in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion."

The master lowered her head, biting her finger, deep in thought. Xiaoying inwardly scoffed at her—how old is she, still sucking her fingers! Suddenly, Master stopped thinking, pointed at Xiaoying with his index finger, and narrowed his peach blossom eyes into slits. "You've sold your grandmaster!"

"What are you saying?" Xiaoying said without blushing. "I'm just pointing out a way for him. Does he expect him to be a bandit for the rest of his life?"

Master rolled his eyes and said, "I need to go back and discuss this with your grandmaster."

"Discuss what?" Xiaoying said impatiently. "We're not losing out in this deal. For a bandit like him, and an old one at that, we've already gotten a good price!"

Master stared at Xiaoying in surprise. "You didn't even discuss it before selling your grandmaster like that?"

Xiaoying glared at him. "Fine, if you don't want to sell him, just let him wait in the stronghold for the Prince of Zhennan to lead his army to wipe him out!"

Master lowered his head again and bit his finger, pretending to think. After a while, he said, "Then we'll sell him! I'll go back now and tell that old bastard to pack his bags and get lost!" After saying that, his beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of gloating. Xiao Ying nodded in satisfaction. "This child is teachable!" Oh, no, it should be: "This child is teachable!"

Chapter 30 Reunion (1)

Back in the palace, Xiao Ying went straight to Cining Palace. The master there must be getting impatient. When she was almost at Cining Palace, she was stopped by a guard. Moreover, the one who stopped her was a guard captain with the title of Assistant Commander. There was nothing she could do. He was a third-rank official, higher than her. She could only bow respectfully and ask, "Officer Hu, what can I do for you?"

This Officer Hu was the "muddled" guard who had arrested Deng Zhilan in the fight at the Imperial Household Department last time. It seemed that the Empress Dowager thought he was very "muddled" last time, so she promoted him. Officer Hu puffed out his chest and put on a big official air. He looked like a smug little man. "Consort Chen is chasing butterflies in front. All irrelevant people should give way!"

Consort Chen? It seems to be Chen Yao. Chasing butterflies? Xiao Ying looked around. There were no flowers or trees here, so where would the butterflies come from? Besides, you're someone who's been running all over Jiangnan, why would you play with such petty things? ...Wait, what did he say? Idlers? She, a fourth-rank official, was now considered an idler! This girl seemed to be looking for trouble. It

seemed Chen Yao hadn't been exaggerating; she was able to catch Xiao Ying here so soon after she returned to the palace, which meant that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion had many spies not only inside the palace but also outside. She must have a purpose in coming to cause trouble now, right? Xiao Ying remained calm and obediently stepped aside.

After a while, a group of guards slowly approached. A black line appeared on Xiao Ying's forehead. This little girl was even bringing a group of guards to clear the way for her butterfly chase! And a sedan chair was following behind the guards—it was too much! This girl was actually chasing butterflies in a sedan chair! Xiao Ying lowered her head and secretly rolled her eyes at her.

The "butterfly-catching" procession slowly passed by Xiaoying. The young woman arrogantly looked up at the sky, feigning a butterfly-hunting pose, completely ignoring Xiaoying, the official. Even when she was a good ten feet away, and Xiaoying thought she was about to be passed, the young woman suddenly pointed at Xiaoying's head and exclaimed, "There's a big butterfly here!"

Xiaoying stared at her, muttering, "I swear: there's absolutely no butterfly above my head!" But Chen Yao didn't think so. She leaped from the sedan chair and slapped Xiaoying's head with her delicate hand! This wasn't catching a butterfly; it was smashing a melon!

Judging from the force and speed of her strike, she was definitely serious! Damn it, you think you're the only one who knows martial arts? I know too! Without hesitation, Xiaoying darted to the side, but at that moment, the official, Hu Xieling, suddenly stretched out a palm, blocking Xiaoying's path.

Damn it! This is unfair! Xiao Ying quickly reached out and slapped away the hand blocking her, barely dodging Chen Yao's blow aimed at her head! Then, without even turning her head, Xiao Ying used her lightness skill to rush towards Cining Palace at full speed. She refused to believe that this little brat would dare to cause trouble for her in front of the Empress Dowager.

Fortunately, no one chased her along the way. Upon entering Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager was drinking tea. Xiao Ying greeted her, examined her health, and chatted with her about trivial matters. The Empress Dowager rewarded her with a basket of lychees from Jiangnan and then sent her away. Some things didn't need to be said; both sides understood. In short, Xiao Ying came to reassure the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager's reward of lychees showed that she understood.

After leaving Cining Palace and returning to her residence, Xiao Ying secretly pulled a crumpled piece of paper from her bosom. It was the one that Hu Xieling had slipped into her hand when he tried to stop her. As Xiao Ying unfolded the paper, she gritted her teeth. It was just a note; did he have to slap her on the head? "You brat, just you wait!" The slip of paper opened had a line of delicate handwriting: "Today, Shenshi (3-5 PM), Imperial Garden."

Chapter 31 Recognition (2)

In the afternoon, Shenshi, the sun was already setting. Although the hottest time of the day had passed, the sun's lingering heat was still intense. The land baked by the sun was still hot and humid. The coolest place in the palace was the Imperial Garden. Following the agreement on the slip of paper, Xiaoying strolled towards the Imperial Garden. From afar, she noticed that the paths around the Imperial Garden were guarded. It seemed that there was an important person in the garden. The guards looked unfamiliar and were probably not from the Cining Palace. It seemed that they were not the Empress Dowager. Perhaps it was the Empress? Or perhaps... the Emperor! Thinking of this, Xiaoying felt a surge of excitement.

But after the excitement subsided, Xiaoying quickly calmed down. How could she get in? It seemed that the Imperial Garden was blocked off by guards. Without the permission of the person inside, she probably couldn't get in. Even if she could get in, and the person inside was the Emperor, how could Xiaoying make him recognize her?

Just as Xiaoying was pondering and hesitating, the Hu Xieling suddenly emerged from the garden, casually surveying the surroundings. He showed no reaction when he saw her, his gaze sweeping over her as if she didn't exist. After his survey, he nonchalantly said to the guard standing at the entrance, "It's terribly hot today. Go to the storehouse and fetch some ice; the Emperor will need it later. I'll take your place here." The guard agreed and turned to leave. Once the guard was out of sight, the Hu Xieling began to look up at the sky as if it held gold. Xiaoying smiled and quickly passed him, entering the Imperial Garden.

Upon entering the garden, Xiaoying spotted a figure in bright yellow sitting in the lakeside pavilion, holding a young girl in his arms—Chen Yao. Perhaps the two were deeply in love and didn't want to be disturbed, as there was no one else around. They chatted and laughed, leaving Xiaoying unsure of what to do. Although nestled in the Emperor's arms, Chen Yao's eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings. When she saw Xiaoying, she suddenly smiled sweetly and said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, I've heard that you have beautiful calligraphy and have long wanted to ask for some. Today is the perfect opportunity. I'll go and fetch the Four Treasures of the Study. May Your Majesty show them to me?"

The Emperor laughed heartily and said, "Excellent! My beloved consort

, go and return quickly." Chen Yao bowed and hurried away. The garden fell silent, leaving only Xiaoying and the Emperor. Xiaoying suppressed her excitement and slowly walked towards him. At the same time, she quickly took out a jade pendant that she kept close to her chest and hung it outside her collar.

Hearing Xiaoying's footsteps, the Emperor turned his head, his dark eyes fixed on her face. In an instant, his exquisitely handsome face overflowed with joy, and his tall frame, overcome with excitement, abruptly stood up. His trembling lips murmured, "Yun'er..." His voice was soft and muffled, almost like a long syllable, but Xiaoying heard it clearly, as if it were a whisper in her ear. Her heart was instantly filled with happiness. 'Yun'er' was calling for his mother, wasn't it? He saw her resemblance to his mother, making him believe she was his mother, hence his excitement? He must have always deeply loved his mother; otherwise, why would he be so overjoyed, so excited? At this moment, Xiaoying felt that all the love and concern her mother had given him was worthwhile. And her heart was even more determined; he would definitely love her, his daughter!

Chapter 32 Recognition (3)

His excitement lasted only a short while. He seemed to have thought of something, his fair hands clenched into fists, and his originally surprised handsome face turned cold. "Who are you?" His voice was not loud, but it was full of chilling coldness.

His coldness made Xiaoying quickly calm down. She quickly knelt down and bowed her head, saying, "Your subject, Li Xiaoying, pays respects to Your Majesty. I did not know Your Majesty was here. Please punish me." When I knelt down to pay my respects, I deliberately shook the jade pendant hanging on my chest.

Because Xiaoying was kneeling with her head down, she could not see his face, nor did she know if he had noticed the jade pendant on her chest. She only heard the sound of his footsteps as he walked towards her. He stopped when the pair of bright yellow embroidered dragon boots flashed into her eyes as she looked at the ground in front of her. Xiaoying felt that he had been staring at her. After a long silence, Xiaoying heard a slightly trembling voice, "Where did you get your jade pendant?" The voice was very soft, so soft that only the two of them could hear it, but the tone was excited and full of strong anticipation.

Xiaoying smiled, a sigh of relief washing over her. Finally, he had noticed her. Calming her excitement, she spoke softly, in a voice only the two of them could hear, "It was left to me by my mother. She said this jade pendant was a token of love from my father." Xiaoying paused, then added, "My mother's name is Cheng Yanyun."

A moment of silence followed, as they both tried to compose themselves, until his voice slowly approached, "Raise your head." Although he had tried to keep his voice steady, a slight tremor still lingered.

Xiaoying slowly raised her head, meeting his gaze filled with surprise and love. This was the first time father and daughter had faced each other so closely. His handsome black eyes gazed intently at her face, his breathing rapid with excitement. He raised his hand slightly, as if to stroke her head, but he quickly restrained himself. Although there were only the two of them in the Imperial Garden, ever since Xiaoying entered, she had been constantly being glanced at, intentionally or unintentionally, from the surrounding area. If they did anything unusual, the Empress Dowager would surely be informed shortly. Therefore, they had to restrain themselves. Even though he knew she was his daughter, and Xiaoying knew he was her father, they had to act like strangers, showing no intimacy or affection, not even a hint of familial love!

"You...you're very good! Rise." Clearly, after some effort, he had finally regained his imperial arrogance and aloofness. Xiao Ying slowly stood up, adopting the respectful posture of a subject. His handsome face returned to its indifferent expression, but he asked softly, "Is she... alright?"

No explanation was needed; Xiao Ying knew 'she' referred to her mother. She said sadly, "She passed away half a year ago."

The tall figure opposite him trembled slightly, his hands clenching into fists, his handsome face filled with sorrow. "She ultimately couldn't hold on. It's all my fault for not protecting her," he said, his eyes filled with self-reproach.

Xiao Ying quickly comforted him, "When she passed away, she told me that meeting you was the greatest happiness of her life. Although we ultimately parted ways, she never regretted her decision."

Hearing Xiao Ying's words, he took a deep breath, suppressing his grief, and sighed, "She's still so stubborn, always unwilling to admit defeat. Alas, we were both too young and impetuous back then, touching things we shouldn't have, and paying such a heavy price! If only we could have been more patient..." Just then, footsteps sounded, and Chen Yao returned excitedly, carrying her writing materials. Clearly, the time she had 'left' for them had come. The Emperor hurriedly waved his hand at Xiaoying and said sternly, "Step back!"

"Your humble servant takes his leave." Xiaoying quickly bowed and respectfully withdrew from the Imperial Garden via the same route. Before leaving, she glanced deeply at that tall, lonely figure; that solitary figure caused a pang of pain in her heart.

When she came out, Hu Xieling was still gazing at the sky. Xiaoying smiled and slipped past him, whispering softly, "Thank you!" Xiaoying was sincerely grateful for Chen Yao's arrangement. Although their time together as father and daughter was brief, at least he knew he was no longer alone in the palace; she, his daughter, was by his side, and he was no longer lonely!
