The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

"Secret crush? These two guys...are they gay?"

Shen Jingli clenched his hands unconsciously and said vaguely: "Not much... not much."

"So...are these two men confirmed to be in a relationship?"

Shen Jingli shook his head: "No."

Songzhu stroked his chin and analyzed the situation again. He speculated, "After the relationship is confirmed, asking the other person to wear earrings may add interest. If the relationship is not confirmed yet, I think the chances of it being a secret love are low, but the possibility of humiliation is high."

Shen Jingli leaned back in his chair and took a long breath, "Is that so? But... between these two men, there is a man who is neither very manly nor very womanly. What about this situation?"

“…similar to you?”

Being suddenly pointed out, Shen Jingli panicked, "I...I was talking about someone else! Why are you pointing at me? Hey, get out of here, you're just causing trouble."

Shen Jingli pushed Songzhu out of Xuezhenfang. She was confused at the moment and walked towards Qianzhong Garden listlessly.

Great, the red marrow fruit is about to mature...

She began to concentrate on tinkering with the medicinal materials again...

At twilight hour, Songzhu came running to serve the meal, "Your Majesty, would you like to eat?"

It just so happened that she was also hungry at this time. Shen Jingli nodded slightly and left Qianzhong Garden with Songzhu.

……

into the night.

Inside the Ganlu Hall…

Shen Jingli sat on a chair, staring at the bronze mirror in a daze...

Her skin in the mirror was as white as snow, and her cheeks were slightly red because she had just taken a bath. Her black hair fell behind her like a waterfall, and there were still some water droplets on her snow-white neck. She picked up the handkerchief and wiped them away.

Then, she touched her little face again and said with emotion: "This face really doesn't look like a man's. If it weren't for the voice-changing pills, I'm afraid no one would believe that I am a man."

Shen Jingli took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve. This was a small pill she developed in Qianzhong Garden. Taking it could make your Adam's apple bulge.

Only with an Adam's apple can you be more like a man...

Shen Jingli opened the porcelain bottle, poured the small pill into his palm, and then put it close to his nose to smell it. Suddenly, his brows furrowed. This medicine smelled very bitter...

Shen Jingli made up his mind and swallowed it whole.

After a while, the center of the neck began to bulge slightly, and Shen Jingli observed it in the bronze mirror for a long time.

"That's it?"

It only bulges a little bit after taking the medicine?

Is it because the dose of medicine is not enough?

Shen Jingli took out another pill and swallowed it. He observed for a long time but did not find any bulging reaction in his Adam's apple.

She...had to accept reality.

It seems that it can only bulge to this extent...

"Forget it, forget it. It's barely acceptable."

……

Shen Jingli looked out the window boredly, and saw a crescent moon hanging high in the sky, half covered by idle clouds, and everything was silent...

At this time, a breeze blew, gently brushing her cheek, and her scattered long hair began to sway. The cool and soft wind made Shen Jingli feel a little comfortable in his heart.

Qin Yejue said that he would come to Qianlu Palace tonight...

……

Shen Jingli then took out the Shattered Ice Earrings from the secret compartment of the orchid.

A flower carved from a light blue gemstone hangs from a slender fluorite chain. The layers of petals are lifelike, and the whole body emits a faint blue light...

"It's really exquisite. Qin Yejue has good taste. This thing is so beautiful that it doesn't look like an ordinary item."

but…

These earrings don’t look like jewelry that men would wear…

Shen Jingli looked at the exquisite earrings and sighed slightly. She didn't know when she could return to being a girl. She couldn't live her whole life as a man!

After Qin Yejue is cured of the cold poison, he will ask him to help him fake his death, so that he can leave the palace forever and become the real Shen Jingli again.

But...it's easier said than done.

Not only did they fail to obtain the Deer Spirit Flower, it might also dry up, and the leader of Qingshan Village is still in jail.

Nothing can happen to the Lu Linghua...

Qin Yejue can't...

Nothing can happen...

……

Qin Yejue had arrived a long time ago. He saw Shen Jingli sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, so he didn't say anything to disturb him.

Tonight she...

Why no hair tie?

Her inky black hair hangs behind her ears, and a few strands of hair on her forehead add a touch of laziness and charm.

Qin Yejue couldn't help it and asked in a hoarse voice, "What are you thinking about?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Jingli's thoughts were interrupted, and she slowly came back to her senses. She whispered: "Thinking about you..."

Shen Jingli just thought of the Deer Spirit Flower, and naturally thought of Qin Yejue's current physical condition...

But after these words were spoken, Qin Yejue froze in place, and even his pupils dilated a little.

Thinking of you...

She said...she missed me?

Qin Yejue didn't expect Shen Jingli to say such a thing. At this moment, his eyes were soft...

My heart was throbbing...

and so…

The look she exudes tonight... was it specially prepared?

Could it be that she was moved by what happened today and that’s why she was worried about me?

So how should I respond to her?

I miss you as well…?

……

Seeing Qin Yejue standing frozen in place, Shen Jingli couldn't help but start to worry about the sword wound on his arm.

He came so early, could it be that he was feeling sick from the poison?

"Come here quickly."

Qin Yejue's Adam's apple rolled twice silently, and he slowly walked towards Shen Jingli with his expectations full.

Shen Jingli suddenly stood up, stood on tiptoe and touched Qin Yejue's forehead.

Qin Yejue's heart trembled, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he said hoarsely: "Do you know...what you are doing?"

The blush on Qin Yejue's face did not escape Shen Jingli's eyes. She said seriously, "You, sit on the chair."

"..."

After Qin Yejue sat down, Shen Jingli quickly leaned over. She stared at Qin Yejue's cheek intently. Why was it even redder than before?

She touched Qin Yejue's forehead again, but he didn't have a fever. Could it be that the poison in his arm was causing the problem?

"Take off your clothes, quickly."

"Sure?"

"Ah."

Qin Yejue's mouth was dry at this time, "Are you sure you want to come on the chair? Not on the bed?"

Shen Jingli shook his head, "If we don't go to the bed, the blood stains might accidentally stain the quilt."

The scar on Qin Yejue's arm was very deep. If he applied the medicine again, it would definitely bleed. If the quilt was soiled, it would be difficult to explain to Nanny Qiu tomorrow.

Qin Yejue narrowed his eyes, his emotions surging in them, and his gaze gradually became hot, "I don't care, it mainly depends on whether you like it."

There was a flash of surprise in Shen Jingli's eyes. It was just applying some medicine, why did he make such a fuss?

"Qin Yejue, you're not shy, are you?"

When I applied medicine on him during the day, he would just tear his clothes off. Why was he so hesitant and evasive at night?

Qin Yejue: “…”

Unexpectedly, she also...

It's urgent...

Qin Yejue took off his shirt first, revealing his eight-pack abs. Shen Jingli sighed in his heart that this guy's muscle lines are simply perfect.
