The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

When Zuo Nian regained consciousness, silent tears flowed slowly across his bronze skin, as if to take away all the warmth from his body.

At this moment, he looked bewildered and his face was as pale as a piece of white paper, as if he had lost his soul.

In his mind, the image of Hua Ye and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hugging each other kept flashing. Every detail was so clear, deeply hurting his heart...

He was constantly struggling in his heart: "Hua Ye, you clearly said that the person you liked was me! But why did you suddenly turn around and throw yourself into the arms of someone else?"

He turned over and maintained a posture for several hours until his body was numb. He continued to think: "Although the Crown Prince has a high status and great power, I have experienced countless life and death trials with you! Isn't this enough to make you miss him?..."

Since waking up, Zuo Nian has not even had a meal, let alone water.

He just lay quietly on the couch, staring at the bed curtains with empty eyes, as if the whole world had gone away from him.

Outside the door, Madam Zuo was being held back by the guards. "No one is allowed to see the young master without the master's permission!" the guard's tone was firm and resolute.

Madam Zuo was extremely anxious as she watched the maid bring out the completely cold food.

She couldn't help but yelled to Zuo Nian in the room, "You can't blame Hua Ye. She had no choice but to make this choice."

Madam Zuo covered her face and wiped away the tears that welled up in her eyes. She continued to shout, "She can't disobey the order and use the lives of everyone in the general's mansion to shirk her responsibility, right?"

Zuo Nian moved his protruding ears and heard clearly that what his mother said made sense. He changed his decadent and depressed state and climbed up from the bed.

He picked up the dinner that had just been brought in and began to eat it ravenously, secretly comforting himself: "Is it still necessary to clarify matters of the heart in person?"

"If she says she was forced and that she loves me, then I will take her away and run away to the ends of the earth. What's wrong with that?"

Zuo Nian seemed to have made some important decision. He untied the porcelain lid of the teapot, picked up the pot and drank a pot of tea. He secretly made up his mind: he had to talk to Hua Ye in person.

Hua Ye was being held in Li Li's arms, and was being carried horizontally onto the high couch. Li Li also fell down, and the two of them slept with their clothes on, and he held her tightly.

Fine beads of sweat continued to seep out of Hua Ye's forehead, his face became paler and paler, and his originally rosy lips now turned a layer of white.

She opened her mouth with a slight tremor, and uttered a few words with difficulty: "You...what kind of medicine did you give me?"

Li Li slowly raised his pair of passionate peach blossom eyes, his eyes were blurred and fiery, staring straight at her almost perfect profile, and responded softly.

"It's just some colorless and odorless muscle softening powder. The effect will naturally wear off after a few hours. It won't cause any harm to your body!"

Hearing this, Hua Ye sighed inwardly, "No wonder I didn't notice anything unusual just now..."

While secretly reflecting on her own negligence, she tried to mobilize the remaining strength in her body to try to fight against the effect of the medicine.

However, his body felt limp and powerless, as if all the bones and muscles had been pulled out.

Li Li could no longer control himself as he smelled the unique body fragrance that naturally emanated from her.

He rested his left hand on his cheek and supported himself on the bed with his elbow, leaning sideways to cover her figure. From outside the bed curtain, it seemed that he was the only one on the couch.

He stretched out his right index finger and curled up a handful of Hua Ye's hair, loosening it and curling it again and again intentionally or unintentionally, teasing the person under him.

Hua Ye was unable to move. She once again mobilized her internal strength to evaporate the remaining medicinal power in her body. She was afraid that he would accidentally fall in love, and it would be difficult to resolve the situation.

Just as the drug was being forced out of her body and her whole body began to steam, Li Li took off his coat and leaned over, pressing her on top of him.

His cherry-sized red lips fell on Hua Ye's pale lips without a trace of blood. His reason had long been overwhelmed by lust.

The internal energy that Hua Ye mobilized was dissipated by this kiss and dispersed back into the meridians of the body.

The newly lit incense in the side hall made their body temperatures continue to rise. Li Li fumbled to untie the ribbon on her chest.

Kissing from the forehead to Hua Ye's collarbone, the charm rising in the room became more and more intense. The thin inner clothes had long been thrown beside the couch.

Under the double effects of the drugs, he finally fell...
