An hour later, Qiao Xi had the answer to Su Heting's question.

She was extremely tired, as if she had just rolled through a raging sea. Although she was not the one exerting the effort, she was more tired than a day of training in the secret factory.

But Su Heting, tireless, came up again.

"Your Majesty, you just had a bout of poisoning a few days ago. You shouldn't be overworked right now."

Qiao Xi felt something was wrong and tried to stop it.

She can't survive.

Su Heting chuckled, "The doctor said that proper intercourse would be more beneficial to this king."

He had been the crown prince for twenty years and Su Heting for five years. In his twenty-five years of life, he had only had two love affairs.

Once, on their wedding night, he couldn't bear to see Qiao Xi suffer, so he ended it hastily.

Another time, Qiao Xi drained his acupuncture points and he was forced to stop.

He had been married for nearly two months, but he had never found true relief. However, Qiao Xi was chanting another man's name in her dreams, and even teasing Ji Yao with their sexual intercourse.

Since she has no feelings for him, why should he pity her?

"Satisfying your husband's normal needs is the duty of a wife, just as I have given you the right to be the mistress of the house, allowing you to bring anyone into the mansion at will."

Qiao Xi was speechless and enjoyed the night till dawn.

Her whole body ached and she was so tired that she almost fainted, but Su Heting said, "Help me bathe."

Qiao Xi gritted her teeth, stood up, and followed Su Heting to the bathroom.

Su Heting stepped into the bathtub with his long legs, waiting for Qiao Xi to help him wash, but he didn't expect that Qiao Xi, who was standing behind him, would fall headfirst into the bathtub.

Quicker than his brain, Su Heting quickly supported the man and asked, "What are you doing?"

Qiao Xi closed her eyes and said nothing. She released all her strength and relied entirely on Su Heting for support.

"Qiao Xi, stop pretending and wake up."

Su Heting slapped Qiao Xi's face.

Qiao Xi didn't react at all.

Su Heting hardened his heart, gritted his teeth and let go of his hand. Qiao Xi continued to fall into the bathtub, but when she was about to touch the water surface, Su Heting grabbed her by the waist and picked her up.

He held her in his arms and said in a dark voice, "I know you are pretending."

Being able to become the commander of the secret factory, she must have better physical strength than ordinary women, so how could she not be able to withstand sex?

Qiao Xi rolled her eyes imperceptibly and continued to pretend to be unconscious, leaning on Su Heting.

It is a wife's duty to serve her husband, but it does not say that she has to fulfill her duty even if she is exhausted.

She also wanted to try to see how tolerant Su Heting could be towards her.

Now I know.

Su Heting is a guy who looks fierce but is actually weak.

Yes, how cruel can a person be who would empty his own property for the people?

Qiao Xi found a comfortable position and closed her eyes to rest.

Listening to her even breathing, Su Heting angrily pinched her neck.

Feeling the faint murderous intent, Qiao Xi did not move.

If Su Heting really wanted to do something to her, he would not have saved her just now, but let her fall into the water.

However, Su Heting made quite a fuss last night. She didn't expect that he was such a petty man who came back to settle the score with her just because of a few words.

What made Qiao Xi even more angry was that she was so tired that she didn't even want to lift a finger, but Su Heting was full of energy.

It's really unfair.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xi slid down without leaving a trace.

Su Heting believed that Qiao Xi was pretending to be unconscious.

It was obvious that she was about to drown in the water and had to be rescued in time.

He laughed in anger, "You're so willing to take risks just to be lazy. Aren't you afraid of drowning?"

Qiao Xi remained unmoved, looking as if he would never wake up even if beaten to death.

She was very successful in holding the corpse.

Su Heting poked her face, but there was no response. He then extended his fingers to her armpits. Qiao Xi was ticklish, so she certainly couldn't pretend anymore.

But his fingers finally slid to her waist, lifted her up, let Qiao Xi's head rest on his shoulder, pursed his lips and helped Qiao Xi wash and change into clean clothes.

Being nice to Qiao Xi has become a habit, and this habit is deeply rooted in Su Heting's bones. If Su Heting wants to change this habit, he has to dig out his bones and cleanse his marrow.

Qiao Xi curled her lips calmly.

After being carried back to bed, Qiao Xi remembered that she still needed Su Heting's cooperation to find Ji Yao today. She was worried that he would run away again while she was asleep, so as soon as Su Heting lay down, she curled into his arms and pressed down his arm.

But after experiencing the nightmare and being disturbed all night, Qiao Xi quickly went from pretending to sleep to real sleep.

In her hazy consciousness, she suddenly thought of her wedding night, when she resisted Su Heting's wiping, and just now she actually let Su Heting bathe her.

Qiao Xi was so sleepy that he had no time to think deeply and fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up, she had already slept on her inner side. Su Heting was not in the bed. Qiao Xi hurriedly asked the maid, "Where is the prince?"

After the marriage, Su Heting assigned two maids to Qiao Xi, one named Bei Qiao and the other Nan Shu.

The one serving in the room right now is Bei Qiao.

Bei Qiao hesitated for a moment and said, "The prince has taken Miss Ji out."

Bei Qiao was on guard last night, and she was aware of the commotion in the main house. She just thought that the prince valued the princess, but she didn't expect that the prince left the princess and went to see Ji Yao.

He also transferred Nan Shu to Ji Yao's side.

Bei Qiao put herself in the princess's shoes and felt that she must be very sad at this moment.

He carefully glanced at Qiao Xi's face and saw that she was indeed frowning. He comforted her, "Princess, don't think too much. The prince has always been focused on official duties. Before you, he never looked at other women. Maybe there is a reason for this today."

Of course Qiao Xi knew the reason.

But she didn't expect Su Heting to be so cooperative, so she asked, "When did you leave?"

Bei Qiao said, "It's been more than an hour."

Qiao Xi hurriedly lifted the quilt.

"Get some water and wash up. I'm going to look for the prince."

She needed Su Heting to behave nicer to Ji Yao, but she also couldn't let the emperor think that Su Heting disliked Qiao Xi.

In addition to Xiaoman's spies in the northern part of Xinjiang, there must be other spies for the emperor.

Qiao Xide appeared beside Su Heting.

Bei Qiao thought Qiao Xi was jealous, so she didn't dare to delay and hurriedly ordered her servants to fetch water while she went to choose clothes for Qiao Xi. She wanted to dress the princess beautifully.

Others don't know that she had previously gone to Liangzhou to pick up the princess and served as the princess's substitute all the way, but she knew that Liangzhou was conquered by the princess, and that was why they had a water source in the north of the border.

We can't let the princess lose to that damn Miss Ji...

"Brother Su, which one looks better?"

In the jewelry shop, Ji Yao asked Su Heting while holding two hairpins in her hand.

Su Heting raised his eyes and took a look, "Try it on."

The attitude is not warm, but not cold either.

Compared to her previous indifference, this was a huge change for Ji Yao.

She looked at the two hairpins in her hand and wanted to insert one of them into her bun so that Su Heting could help her compare them.

But Su Heting suddenly stood up, took the hairpin from her hand, leaned over slightly, put the hairpin in place for her, and then put another one on her head.

“Both look good.”

He commented.

Ji Yao stroked her hair, feeling overjoyed, but she didn't notice Su Heting's eyes looking outside the door.

She said to the shopkeeper, "I want both."

The shopkeeper was delighted and hurriedly led her to pick out some other things.

Because of Su Heting's recent actions, Ji Yao became bolder.

She wanted to reach out to pull Su Heting, but Su Heting strode forward and pointed at a set of headgear casually, "Try this one."

That headgear wasn't very good looking, and even looked a bit tacky.

Ji Yao is Ji Chuan's only child in public, and she has a wealthy family. She has seen all kinds of good things. If it were any other time, she would definitely look down on it, but this was chosen for her by Su Heting.

She spontaneously thought that Su Heting was not familiar with women's jewelry, so his vision was a little biased.

"This also shows that Brother Su really doesn't have any thoughts about women."

Ji Yao was very proud.

“I don’t know what method Qiao Xi used, but he actually got Brother Su to let me out. He even insisted on apologizing for his previous misunderstanding and taking me out to shop.

But she didn't know that this was also my opportunity. As long as I took the opportunity to win Brother Su's heart, it would not be difficult to persuade Brother Su to serve Your Majesty.

Then I will go directly to His Majesty to claim the credit. Why go through all this trouble with her, or ask her to be the commander of the secret factory? She is so foolish. That's all."
