"Yanyan, did you remember something?"

She looked frightened with a blushing face and a beating heart, like a little rabbit, which made Ziheng fall in love with her. He asked deliberately in a mischievous way.

"No! I don't remember anything." In fact, Wan Ning really didn't remember anything, but the ambiguous atmosphere seemed to imply that something was happening. Several vague pictures flashed through her mind, and finally landed on the scene of waking up the next day and finding herself sleeping naked. In an instant, her face was like a steam train. Wan Ning lay on the bed without caring, covering her head with the quilt and rolling back and forth.

Ziheng smiled as he gently lifted the quilt to reveal her face and consoled her: "Yanyan doesn't look like she hasn't remembered anything. That night, it was Yanyan who pulled me back and said..."

Le Yan didn't dare to listen any more, she suddenly threw back the quilt, sat up, covered Ziheng's mouth, and asked, "Stop, don't say any more, it's impolite to say any more."

Ziheng nodded obediently with a smile in his eyes. Seeing this, Wan Ning slowly loosened her hand, and suddenly covered his mouth even harder. She was really curious whether everything had happened that night. If so, even though she took the initiative, he was the only one who remembered it, and it became his exclusive memory. That was too unfair.

"Um... did we... did anything really happen between us? You just need to nod or shake your head, don't speak!" Wan Ning asked, and then stared at him nervously for a response, until he nodded very solemnly. Wan Ning let go of his hand disappointedly. She was heartbroken and regretful after learning the truth. After a while, Wan Ning accepted the reality and came to her senses. She knelt beside the bed and asked in a very solemn tone: "Since I took the initiative in this matter, I am not an indecent person, and I will definitely take the responsibility. I want to ask, do you need me to be responsible for you?"

Ziheng's pupils dilated, he was shocked but also delighted, after he came to his senses he nodded twice with certainty.

"You can speak on this question," Wan Ning said, lowering her eyes.

Ziheng couldn't wait to hold Wan Ning's hand, put it close to his heart, and said word by word: "Of course! You were very difficult to please that night, like a little loach, and it was exhausting. I worked so hard, so naturally Yanyan should be responsible."

Wan Ning covered her mouth in shock to prevent herself from screaming. She muttered in her heart that she didn't expect herself to be like this when she was drunk. She actually had this side of herself! But she still had to be tough and deliberately straightened her back and asked, "Am I so difficult to please? Is it because you are not good enough?"

Ziheng immediately turned around and pressed her under him, pulled her hand over her head, interlocked their fingers, and kissed her. Although they had kissed many times before, this time was very different, as if they were no longer worried about being discovered, and they felt fearless as if the sky had already fallen. This time, Ziheng became more reckless, more possessive, and more passionate, making Wan Ning almost unable to resist. She turned her face away and tried to escape, but this intention was easily seen through by Ziheng. His slender fingers pressed against Wan Ning's neck and grasped her cheek, gently but forcefully turning her back.

"Yanyan, don't you want to be responsible for me? I'm just collecting some interest." After saying that, Ziheng leaned over and kissed her again, and his tongue easily opened her lips, greedily wanting to take all her flavor for himself. But suddenly a picture flashed in his mind. He was standing on the dim battlefield in armor and blood, with countless arrows stuck in his body, unable to move, watching Wan Ning disappear in front of him.

The headache made him rational. He stopped attacking and slowly moved his lips to her ear. He said softly against her earlobe, "It has been offset. Although it was hard to take care of Yanyan that night, it was worth it. You are still free, Yanyan. I support you no matter what you want to do. You don't have to be responsible for me. Do what you want! Otherwise, when I need care that day, Yanyan, you will take care of me instead. This is even, okay?"

Wan Ning was deeply moved and nodded repeatedly, as she had never had anyone believe in her so much. Suddenly she realized something, pushed Ziheng aside and sat up, asking, "What, you were just taking care of me that night?"

Ziheng also sat up straight and tidied up his messy clothes, pretending to have back pain while pounding his shoulders, and replied: "Yes, otherwise what did Yanyan think? That night you were drunk and unconscious, holding my wrist and refusing to let go, and you wanted me to coax you to sleep."

"Then why when I woke up the next day, I... I wasn't wearing any clothes?" Wan Ning didn't care about anything else and just said what she wanted to say!

The person being asked blushed, turned his face away, and whispered, "Uh...you...you said you were hot and insisted on taking off your clothes, and even untied my belt. Like a nimble little loach, it took me a lot of effort to carry you back to the room to sleep. Maybe Yanyan took it off herself after I left."

"Ah - I'm too embarrassed to see anyone." Wan Ning shouted in regret.

Ziheng held her hand and comforted her: "It's okay, no one will know."

"My drinking tolerance is so bad! What should I do in the future?" Wan Ning covered her face with her hands, looking too embarrassed to face anyone.

The evidence of the rumor about their relationship, the belt and hairband, were also lost that night. They were lost after he comforted Wan Ning and she left the room. He originally thought they were blown away by the wind, but now it seems that someone took them away on purpose. It must be this person who took the Chunlu powder that Wan Ning was poisoned with. But the person who could do all this must be someone close to Wan Ning, so Ziheng sent someone to secretly observe and protect Wan Ning's safety, and he did not intend to tell her about this.

Firstly, it was to avoid alerting the enemy, and secondly, Wan Ning has always been very nice to the people around her. If she knew about this, she would probably not be able to remain calm and would definitely be hurt.

So Ziheng took over her words and comforted her: "It's okay, Yanyan, remember not to drink outside in the future, and even if you drink, don't drink too much, it's okay."

Wan Ning suddenly hugged Ziheng around the waist, nodded affirmatively, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Ziheng, so is this how your belt and my hairband were lost? I will be careful in the future, but now that everyone knows about it, how should I deal with it?"

Ziheng let her hold him, craving her warmth, and didn't move for fear that Wan Ning would let go of him. He comforted her, "Don't worry, Yanyan, leave it to me."

"What are you going to do?" Wan Ning finally loosened her arms, left him, sat up straight, and asked.

Ziheng looked down at his empty waist, feeling lost as if he had lost her thousands of times. Fortunately, she was by his side when he turned around. So he smiled as if it was a false alarm and replied, "If you continue to be Princess Le Yan, I am the emperor of Chu State, which is ultimately not legitimate. Yan Yan, are you willing to change your identity and stay by my side with a brand new identity?"

"You mean to shed your skin and change your appearance?"

Ziheng nodded: "I can give you a brand new identity. You can use this new identity to enter the palace and stay by my side, okay?"

On the other side, in Yuxi Palace, Mu Xiu stood in front of the study window sill and looked at the birds flying back and forth outside. At this time, Yin Zhu opened the door and walked to his side to report: "Young Master, everything is as you expected. The Queen Mother is furious and threatened to send Princess Le Yan to marry."

"Has the princess returned to Xiang Wanxuan?"

Yin Zhu shook his head and denied: "The princess was bullied by the Queen Mother and then rescued by the Emperor. Now Princess Le Yan is in the Emperor's bedroom."

Mu Xiu was silent for a moment and closed the window. After a while, he turned around and waved his hand: "Got it, leave now."

Yin Zhu bowed and turned to leave, but then hesitated and retreated. He knew that the master's mission for the young master was to kill Meng Zhu and marry Le Yan, and he also knew that the young master's body would not allow him to go against the master's orders.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Mu Xiu took the lead and asked, "Just ask whatever you want to ask."

Yin Zhu no longer hesitated and knelt on the ground to ask the question in his heart: "Young Master, can you really marry Princess Le Yan by doing this? At present, it seems that Princess Le Yan and the Emperor of Chu are closer."
