The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

Shen Jingli's cheeks were pinched so hard that they hurt: "It's... so hard to talk like this... let go?..."

After Qin Yejue let go, Shen Jingli's cheeks turned slightly red.

This guy is so strong, his cheek hurts...

Shen Jingli rubbed his face, his eyes full of resistance: "...I am not worthy of serving the prince closely."

"The main thing is, I am not a homosexual. Being too close to a man will affect my good reputation."

Could it be that knowing his secret means I have to be his personal thermos?

Besides, the gender is not appropriate. Although I am a woman, as of now, most people think of me as a man.

Does this guy treat me as a heater?

Still want to be gay with me?

He wouldn't be so perverted as to do something to himself, right?

If he knew that he was a girl when he was trying to commit a crime, would he be so angry that he cut himself into pieces and then threw him to feed the dogs?

"Are you important? Your style has always been shady, so there is no such thing as influence."

"You! Prince, if you like men, men with warm bodies, I will personally help you choose. Tell me, what kind do you want? A passionate and charming one? Or a shy and naive one? Or a domineering and tough one?"

Shen Jingli told the story slowly and asked Qin Yejue seriously about his preferences.

“…You seem to understand.”

"No no."

Shen Jingli shook her head. She wanted to understand, but she didn’t have enough money, so she had no chance to understand.

"If you don't understand, give me some money and I'll help you understand. Then I'll tell you the pros and cons of each type. How about that?"

"Stop saying things that make me angry."

After Qin Yejue finished speaking, he hugged Shen Jingli tighter again, with a lot more strength, as if he wanted to rub the person in his arms into his bones and blood. He felt really warm, as if he was under the scorching sun, with warmth surrounding his whole body.

What a comfortable feeling...

"…Prince, cough…strangling me…what good will it do you?"

Shen Jingli slowly let go, feeling relieved, breathing heavily, and snatched the porcelain bottle when the other person was least expecting it.

"Ahem...you said that you should return it to me once you have snatched it." Shen Jingli's cheeks turned slightly red from coughing, and he grinned smugly.

"Why are you so disobedient!"

At this critical moment, why are you still thinking about that wild man? What's so good about him?

Leaving Gu Sichen behind would ultimately be a disaster.

Gu Sichen seduced the ignorant emperor, he deserves to die.

"Then I will kill..."

"Gulu~"

Shen Jingli blinked awkwardly. She was really hungry. It was probably already 3 p.m. and she hadn't had lunch yet.

"Gulu~Gulu~"

A story about how my unruly stomach loves to cry out.

Seeing Shen Jingli lowering his head in embarrassment, Qin Yejue had no choice but to give up and forgive him this time.

"Go and have your meal. From now on, you must behave yourself and don't forget your identity. Otherwise... I will let you know what hellish torture is. Do you understand?"

Facing those sinister black eyes, Shen Jingli's heart skipped a beat. Torture like hell? He...he threatened me?

It would have been fine before, but now she is a useful person. She is the one who can cultivate the red marrow fruit. Why is she still being threatened by Qin Yejue?

She wasn't brought up in fear. As the saying goes, wealth and honor cannot corrupt her. No, it's power and might cannot subdue her!

Just as she was about to say something in protest, Qin Yejue interrupted her, "Pretending to be dumb? I don't mind making you a real mute."

Sometimes the words that come out of this little mouth are really unpleasant to listen to. It would be great if we could be obedient and let him do whatever he wants.

Shen Jingli almost forgot that Qin Yejue was a living devil who wanted to kill the king. Even if he was useful, he couldn't refute him openly.

"I understand. I will abide by the rules and fulfill my duties in the future."

She still understands the principle of giving in in time and living a happy life.

Qin Yejue is a wild man, so temporarily retreating is the only expedient solution.

After saying that, he jumped off the ground and ran out of the study as fast as he could.

----

Perhaps because he was too hungry, or perhaps because Qin Yejue disturbed his mind, Shen Jingli didn't eat much and was worried.

After dinner, he ordered Songzhu to take the scar removal tape to Gu's house. However, his eyelids felt heavy, so he went back to his bedroom to rest for a while.

Day after day, Shen Jingli was really tired and soon fell asleep.

……

Inside Gu Mansion.

"Chen'er, you, you are so ignorant." A woman in gorgeous clothes covered her face and cried, her eyes full of heartache.

Although the woman has some wrinkles on her face, her beauty is still evident. Time cannot defeat beauty, and she must have been a stunning woman when she was young.

"Mom, the child is okay."

"Just be stubborn, and you'll end up making a big mistake sooner or later."

He turned his gaze to Minister Gu, stretched out his hand, and blamed him for not knowing the seriousness of the matter and letting his son act recklessly.

"You too, if you don't try to persuade Chen'er, you will be held responsible if anything happens to him."

Minister Gu hesitated to speak. He had tried to give advice, but his wife doted on this unfilial son so much that he was used to having her way with him. How could he listen to other people's advice?

Seeing An Suqing's tears, Minister Gu couldn't bear to say anything too much, so he had to admit his mistake: "Yes, yes, I was wrong."

Minister Gu is a well-known henpecked husband. He has no concubines in his house and obeys his wife's words. The officials of Dayuan all laugh at Minister Gu behind his back for being henpecked.

An Suqing and Gu Wenzhe met when they were teenagers. They were childhood sweethearts. After An Suqing came of age, Minister Gu urged his parents to propose marriage to her. When the An family agreed, he couldn't sleep for several nights.

An Suqing has a somewhat unruly personality, but it's harmless. In the eyes of Minister Gu, she seems particularly lovable.

After giving birth to Gu Sichen, An Suqing developed a health condition and was unable to get pregnant again.

Minister Gu felt sorry for his wife and swore to An Suqing that having only one son, Gu Sichen, in his life would be enough.

"It's all your fault. You are not allowed to sleep on the bed tonight!"

"Ma'am, I..."

An Suqing's eyes were firm, "Shut up, I won't listen."

Gu Wenzhe sighed: "Why is it always me who gets hurt?"

After instructing the maids and servants to take good care of her, she lowered her head and left silently.

At this time, a servant came in and bowed to report. "Master, Songzhu, the emperor's personal guard, wants to see you."

"Please come in." Gu Sichen propped himself up, and suddenly felt pain and sweat poured down.

An Suqing hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Gu Sichen onto the bed. In his current state, there was no way he could get up. "Chen'er, lie down quickly and don't move."

……

Song Zhu saw the dying Gu Sichen and the sad-looking Madam Gu, and stepped forward to greet them: "Greetings to Mr. No. 1 Scholar and Madam Shangshu."

Mrs. Gu quickly calmed down and greeted the guest, "Your Excellency is so polite. Please take a seat. Xiaoqin, serve the tea."

"Thank you, Madam. I'm not thirsty. The Emperor sent me here to deliver medicine. Is Master Gu feeling better?"

Songzhu handed the porcelain bottle to the servant.

The servant took the porcelain bottle. Gu Sichen held out his hand, and the servant hurriedly offered it to him, "Much better. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

After a few pleasantries, Songzhu got to the point: "This medicine was made by the emperor himself. It has the miraculous effect of removing scars and relieving pain. This is what the emperor said."

It's useless. Don't come to him.

"Please thank the emperor on behalf of me. Everyone in the Gu family is grateful for the emperor's kindness."

Xiaoqin brought the teacup over, "Sir, please have some tea."

Songzhu took a sip of tea and stood up: "The emperor is still waiting for me to serve him, so I won't stay any longer."

"Sir, please take care." An Suqing did not try to persuade him to stay. After all, Song Zhu was the emperor's confidant, and if he stayed in Gu's mansion for too long, he might just follow the crowd.

After seeing Songzhu leave, Madam Gu looked troubled and asked worriedly, "Chen'er, is the emperor still thinking about you?"
