After the engagement was called off, the senior sister of the sect took the initiative to consummate

After pondering for a moment, Qin Yichen said, "Perhaps it's the special way this technique recognizes its master. Try dripping a drop of blood onto it."

Lin Ruoxi did as she was told. When the blood touched the iron book, the eerie light intensified instantly and then disappeared into the book.

Immediately afterwards, the iron book automatically turned to the first page, and lines of mysterious text appeared.

At the same time, a powerful force surged into Lin Ruoxi's body, as if it were transforming her physique.

Qin Yichen didn't know how long this situation would last, so he didn't want to stay any longer. He instructed his servants not to disturb Lin Ruoxi before leaving the hall.

Just as Qin Yichen stepped out of the hall, a servant rushed over to report: "Your Highness, someone outside is requesting an audience, claiming to be from the Ye family!"

Upon hearing this news, Qin Yichen paused slightly, but quickly regained his composure.

He pondered for a moment, wondering why the Ye family had sent someone here at this time. But since they had already come to his door, he couldn't very well refuse to see them.

He nodded to the servant and said, "Take him to the drawing room. I'll be there shortly!"

"Yes!"

The servant responded and then left respectfully.

Qin Yichen straightened his clothes and walked steadily toward the reception room.

Along the way, he secretly pondered the Ye family's intentions. Although he had a close relationship with Zhou Yunjin, Zhou Yunjin was not the kind of person who lacked common sense.

She would never have sent someone to the Prince of Jin's residence to look for her unless it was an extremely urgent matter.

As soon as I stepped into the reception room, I saw a woman in a bright green belted long dress looking on expectantly.

This person was none other than Xiao Cui, an "old acquaintance".

Upon seeing Qin Yichen's arrival, Xiao Cui, who was sitting in the chair, seemed to be startled and quickly stood up. Her movements were slightly flustered, but her manners remained impeccable.

She bowed slightly and gave a salute, her soft voice ringing out: "This humble woman, Xiao Cui, greets Your Highness, Prince Jin."

Seeing this, Qin Yichen gently raised his hand and waved casually, indicating that Xiao Cui did not need to be so polite.

At the same time, his cool voice followed: "Madam Ye sent you here for what purpose?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui slowly straightened up, her gaze initially lowered, not daring to look directly at Qin Yichen. Then, she quickly glanced at Qin Yichen, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

After a brief pause, she mustered her courage and said, "Your Highness Prince Jin, my wife is very worried about what you did today in court. You not only generously donated 10,000 high-grade spirit stones to the disaster area, but also made a bet with the Sixth Prince. She is as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Therefore, she specially sent me to deliver 20,000 high-grade spirit stones to Your Highness, hoping to help you resolve your current predicament."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Cui reached into her bosom and carefully pulled out an exquisite storage bag.

Xiao Cui held the storage bag with both hands and respectfully handed it to Qin Yichen. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she quickly added, "My lady specifically instructed that if His Highness Prince Jin encounters any other difficulties, our Ye family will do everything in our power to help!"

Upon hearing these words, Qin Yichen's heart stirred with emotion, and his feelings became somewhat complicated.

However, he did not reach out to take the storage bag. He simply shook his head slightly and said slowly, "I am not short of spirit stones at the moment, so there is no need to trouble Madam Ye. However, I will remember Madam Ye's kindness."

Seeing this, Xiao Cui's face immediately showed a troubled expression. She gently bit her lip, then lowered her voice and said, "Your Highness Prince Jin, please accept it. After all, it is my lady's kind intention. If you refuse to accept it, my lady may overthink and think that she has not done something thoughtful enough."

After hearing this, Qin Yichen nodded thoughtfully, "In that case, I will accept it for now."

Finally, he reached out and took the storage bag, and solemnly said to Xiao Cui, "When you get back, please tell Madam Ye that I thank her for her kindness and that I will repay her handsomely in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui was overjoyed. She quickly bowed and said with a smile, "I will definitely convey His Highness Prince Jin's words to my wife. Please rest assured, Your Highness."

After saying that, she bowed to Qin Yichen again, then turned and left, leaving behind a graceful silhouette.

After Xiao Cui left, Qin Yichen played with the storage bag in his hand, a subtle smile curving his lips.

With a concubine like this, what more could a husband ask for?

After a while, Qin Yichen looked up at the sky outside the hall, unaware of when night had fallen.

Feeling utterly bored, he got up to go back to his room to rest.

In a short while, Qin Yichen returned to his room. However, to his horror, a petite figure was lying on his bed.

Before Qin Yichen could react, the bedding on the bed suddenly moved slightly, and then a fluffy little head peeked out from inside.

Her hair was slightly messy, falling on both sides of her face, and her big eyes blinked, revealing a bit of playfulness and liveliness.

"Your Highness, you're back?"

Her voice was clear and melodious, as sweet as a nightingale's song. When Qin Yichen looked closely, he realized that this person was actually Lin Ruoxi.

At this moment, Lin Ruoxi's face was flushed slightly, as if she was a little shy.

She blinked her captivating eyes, gazing intently at Qin Yichen, as if awaiting his response.

However, Qin Yichen frowned slightly and asked with a puzzled look, "Why didn't you go back to your own room to rest? Why did you climb into my bed?"

His words carried a hint of reproach.

Hearing this, Lin Ruoxi couldn't help but stick out her tongue and said coquettishly, "I came here to warm your bed."

After saying that, she gently twisted her body, sticking her whole head out from under the covers, and then looked at Qin Yichen with a grin.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yichen's expression remained unchanged. He simply said, "No need. You should go back and rest."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave the bedside.

Seeing this, Lin Ruoxi hurriedly reached out and grabbed Qin Yichen's sleeve, saying, "Oh, Your Highness! The bed is all warmed up, why don't you try it?"

As she spoke, she tugged hard at Qin Yichen's clothes, refusing to let go, as if she wouldn't give up until she got what she wanted.

Qin Yichen sighed helplessly and turned to look at Lin Ruoxi, "I don't need someone to warm my bed, don't be willful."

Tears welled up in Lin Ruoxi's eyes, and she said pitifully, "Does Your Highness despise me?"

Qin Yichen's heart stirred slightly, but his expression remained cold and hard. "Don't talk nonsense. Men and women should not touch each other. This is inappropriate."

Lin Ruoxi bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with stubbornness. "Your Highness, you have shown me great kindness, and I have no way to repay you. I only want to do something for you. Although warming your bed is against etiquette, I only care about Your Highness's well-being."

Qin Yichen was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and a flicker of emotion appeared in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, Qin Yichen slowly spoke: "I know your intentions, but if this gets out, it will damage your reputation, so there's no need to go to such lengths!"

Lin Ruoxi burst into laughter through her tears, "As long as Your Highness understands, I don't care about those rumors."

Qin Yichen stared at her, struggling internally for a long time, before finally gently patting her hand that was clutching his clothes. "Don't do it again."

Lin Ruoxi nodded happily and let go of his hand.

Qin Yichen lay down on the bed, his back to Lin Ruoxi, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

Lin Ruoxi also lay obediently to the side, a faint smile on her lips.

The room fell silent for a moment, with only the sound of their slightly rapid breathing mingling together, creating a subtle atmosphere.
