Senior brother is so awesome!

The following is the main text of the novel "{?$article_title?}" ({?$jieqi_title?}) provided by {?$jieqi_sitename?}. Please enjoy! In the dormitory of Qinglin Garden, the old furnishings made him frown. Looking at the pale face on the bed, his brows gradually relaxed, replaced by a deep and suppressed sadness.

His handsome, aloof profile was obscured by his long, flowing hair; his white robes, though pristine, paled in comparison. He stared at her intently for a moment, then made a decision in his mind.

She lifted the covers, pulled up her nightgown, and took off her underwear. Sure enough, she saw that the area was already red, swollen, and festering. The once captivating presence had been completely destroyed. Flames ignited in her narrow eyes, seemingly capable of destroying the world!

The hand holding her calf unconsciously tightened its grip until the little girl frowned and groaned in pain, only then did he realize that he had accidentally hurt her.

Suddenly, a dark figure silently attacked. Only the killing intent in the palm wind alerted him. He released her leg to block the attack. Zhu Mingquan looked closely and saw that it was a handsome man in a black brocade robe. His brows were filled with murderous intent, and his chiseled features showed the marks of many years of battlefield experience.

"Who are you?" he asked, frowning.

Qin Muhan narrowed his eyes, his murderous aura suddenly intensifying. His tightly pursed lips uttered, "I am the master of the Underworld. If you dare to take advantage of her, today is your death day!" With that, he slammed his fist down! If the Emperor hadn't surrounded Qinglin Garden so tightly, he wouldn't have gone through all that trouble to get in, and he wouldn't have had to watch as this person saw her naked!

Although Zhu Mingquan was devoted to medicine, it did not mean that his martial arts skills were lacking. After all, none of the disciples of Sanqing Mountain were easy to deal with! However, the current situation was not suitable for making a big fuss, especially with Liu Tingpei's layers of defense outside.

Several silver needles quietly appeared at her fingertips. As Qin Muhan attacked, she touched the ground with her toes and retreated, accurately inserting the silver needles into his acupoints.

Qin Muhan suddenly found himself unable to move or speak, his body stiff as he maintained his attacking posture. The white-robed prince of the Azure Dragon Kingdom, who looked like an immortal being, glanced at him as if he were air! He had been highly skilled in martial arts since childhood, and later became a master strategist. Everyone who met him was initially arrogant but later became respectful. He had never encountered anything like this before! His eyes were filled with hatred, wishing he could tear Zhu Mingquan to pieces and devour him alive! But he could do nothing and could only watch helplessly as the prince walked past him and straight to the bedside.

Zhu Mingquan focused his attention back on the person on the bed. Realizing there was someone else nearby, he threw the handkerchief in his hand over, covering the person's eyes. How could his beloved be defiled by anyone!

He took out a specially made ointment from his medicine box and gently applied it to the red, swollen, and festering area before his expression relaxed slightly.

Suddenly, a faint sound rang out—it was the sound of silver needles being driven into the wooden edge of the bed! He watched in astonishment as a hand, clenched into a claw like a soul-locking hook, swiftly attacked him. This person's martial arts were extremely high; to have forced out the silver needles he had inserted into his acupoints was certainly no ordinary individual!

In a flash, their palms clashed, evenly matched! The two palm strikes created turbulent air currents around them, causing the bed curtains to billow and flutter! Qin Muhan, his face ashen, his sword-like eyebrows raised, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to kill you!" The thought of that little person being molested in front of him was like a knife to his heart; the slow torture that lasted less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea felt like an eternity!

Zhu Mingquan's usually calm and collected face showed a rare hint of sternness, but the bulging veins on his arms revealed the immense force he had exerted!

"Who are you?" This person's concern for Chan'er seemed a little strange. What exactly is his relationship with Chan'er?

"I don't need to tell a dead man who I am! Take this!" In an instant, he concentrated all his inner strength into his palm, determined to kill the immortal-like man before him!

“Uh…” A weak voice rang out, startling the two men facing each other.

"Cicada!"

"Yue'er!"

Two completely different men, one aloof and indifferent, the other cunning and treacherous, were both completely captivated by the delicate woman before them. A soft groan relieved them of a great weight. After three days and three nights, she finally awoke.

Qin Yuechan had a long nightmare. In the dream, there were six senior brothers from Sanqing Mountain, Ji Sansheng in flowing red robes, Qin Muhan in black robes, and Liu Tingpei in a dragon robe. They lewdly surrounded her, reaching out their hands to touch her body, tearing at her clothes, and wanting to have sex with her.

One after another, the relentless onslaught resembled her first time with her six senior brothers in the cave. Finally, the pain in her lower body became unbearable, the burning pain like a man-eating beast trying to devour her piece by piece.

The scene suddenly shifted, and she was now tied to a pile of firewood. Nine people, holding torches, approached with chilling gazes. Zhong Zhichen, walking at the front, had narrow eyes filled with a murderous rage. "This is what happens when you try to escape!" he said.

The five senior brothers behind her all had the same expression, their sorrowful eyes fixed on her, as if condemning her departure.

Ji Sansheng, dressed in red, was deathly pale. His already slender figure appeared even more frail, and he swayed precariously in the wind. Horrifying tears of blood streamed from his alluring eyes as he cried out in anguish, "Chan'er, since you took my virginity, why did you abandon me and leave me without a word?"

Liu Tingpei's face was gloomy as he raised the dazzling torch in his hand, a cruel smile spreading across his lips. "You dare to have an affair with Qin Muhan behind my back, even though I've been so good to you!"

Before she could even see Qin Muhan's disappointed face, the raging fire ignited the firewood beneath her. The lifeless wood, as if doused with kerosene, transformed into fiery ghosts the moment it touched the flames, their shrill howls threatening to incinerate her completely! It was so hot, so painful! She seemed to hear the sizzling sound of her flesh burning. She tried to struggle, but her hands and feet were firmly bound, and she had no strength left. She watched helplessly as the flames consumed her entire body!

Suddenly, a cool breeze swept over me, and I abruptly opened my eyes! What I saw was the dilapidated top of the green gauze cabinet, but my heart suddenly felt relieved. I was still in Qinglin Garden. It turned out that I had just had a nightmare. There was no fire or ghosts here, only dilapidated houses.

"Cicada, you're awake?" The cool voice was filled with surprise.

Qin Yuechan slowly tilted her head, then could no longer breathe. A handsome man in flowing white robes, seemingly untouched by worldly concerns, smiled at her, his eyes shining as if he had discovered his most treasured gem. His long, black hair was casually tied back with a light-colored ribbon, a few playful strands falling beside his slender face. Everything about him was exactly like the day she first transmigrated, when she was completely unaware. He smiled gently, "My little junior sister is awake? Are you hungry? Senior brother made you some plain noodles, would you like some?"

That was the first thing he ever said to her, and now it echoed in his mind, refusing to leave...

Her eyes were already wet with tears, and the cool tears poured out and overflowed. "Second Senior Brother..." All the grievances and struggles were for this soft call.

Her voice was hoarse from days of coma and high fever, but to Zhu Mingquan it was like the gentle sound of a zither. How long had it been? More than a hundred days and nights—how had he endured them? Now, hearing her soft call, it seemed it had all been worthwhile…

He gently wiped away her tears, feeling a sense of reassurance in the dampness of his hands. His brows were filled with deep, unyielding affection. "Chan'er, your senior brother is here. Don't cry."

Her small hands grasped his, stroking them against her face. She longed for his unique warmth. Her beautiful, starry eyes shimmered with tenderness as she gazed greedily at his face, as if he might disappear at any moment.

"Yue'er, who is he?" Qin Muhan suppressed his anger, which made him want to kill her, with a slight tremor in his voice. He looked incredulously at the two people in front of him gazing at each other affectionately, seemingly oblivious to everyone else. He almost crushed his fingers!

At this moment, Qin Yuechan realized that there was another person standing by the bed. His body, hidden under the black brocade robe, was filled with anger, as if he was about to burn her up in an instant. The tenderness in her beautiful eyes suddenly disappeared, but was suddenly replaced by a charming smile. She turned her head to look at Zhu Mingquan and said softly, "He is my man."

Qin Muhan was stunned for only a moment before blurting out, "I am your man!"

Now it was Zhu Mingquan's turn to be stunned. Before he could even feel the joy of her affirmation, he was plunged into despair. His face turned deathly pale for a moment, but then turned into a gentle smile. His Chan'er was so beautiful, how could there be few men chasing after her? He had already gotten used to it when he was in Sanqing Mountain.

Looking at Qin Muhan, his cold eyes held a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "I don't care who you are, you'd better get out of here quickly, or Liu Tingpei might barge in." He wasn't giving a kind reminder; he just wanted to avoid involving Chan'er. He hadn't forgotten that at this moment, she was still the Consort Yuechen of Xuanwu Kingdom.

Although Qin Muhan wanted to rush forward and interrogate her to find out the situation, he also knew that he should remain calm at this moment. Even if he was highly skilled in martial arts, he could not break through the layers of imperial guards outside Qinglin Garden with his bare hands. Moreover, if the emperor were to injure Yue'er in a fit of anger, he would not care about his own death, as long as she could be at peace.

His gaze finally settled on Qin Yuechan. "I await your explanation." After saying that, he remained silent and motionless, just as he had come.

Zhu Mingquan stroked her face and said softly, "Since you're unhappy here, how about coming back to Qinglong Kingdom with your senior brother?"

Without asking any probing questions, only a heartfelt wish for her happiness, the aloof and ethereal man smiled tenderly, gazing into her eyes as if they were precious treasures.

She was about to agree when suddenly a throbbing pain shot through her temples, and her head throbbed as if it were about to explode! Clutching her head, she cried out, "It hurts so much—"

Zhu Mingquan quickly grabbed her wrist, took her pulse, and found it trembling slightly. What was wrong with her? Why was she in so much pain?

At that moment, the door was kicked open with a bang, and two guards holding swords walked in and stood by the door. Liu Tingpei, dressed in a dragon robe, walked in with a gloomy face. When he saw the woman sitting up on the bed, he rushed forward with joy, "Yue'er, you're awake?" The deep concern in his words was genuine. For three days and three nights, he had stayed by her side without sleep, hoping to see those bright and beautiful eyes.

"Your Majesty!" A charming voice, tinged with grievance and fear, suddenly pushed away Zhu Mingquan in front of her. "Your Majesty, save me! He tried to assault me!" Her panicked eyes looked at Liu Tingpei for help.

He was suddenly pushed aside, and to his disbelief, he saw her fly into the arms of the man in the dark red dragon robe like a wounded bird.

Liu Tingpei held her soft body in his arms, his heart filled with joy. He gently patted her back, his tiger-like eyes looking down at Zhu Mingquan with a stern gaze, his voice icy: "Thank you, Second Senior Brother, for coming from afar to treat my beloved concubine. Now that you are tired, go and rest."

The personal eunuch hurriedly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Crown Prince Zhu, please come with me to rest."

Zhu Mingquan squinted at the stunningly beautiful woman sobbing in Liu Tingpei's arms. Her eyes, which kept glancing at him, were filled with resentment, but in the blink of an eye, she was distant as if she were a stranger. Everything was so strange. Why did the woman who was crying with him just now become a different person in the blink of an eye?

The current situation did not allow him to investigate further; there was always another day. He nodded, then turned and followed the eunuch out the door.

As the figure in white disappeared through the doorway, a ruthless glint flashed in Qin Yuechan's alluring eyes, but in an instant she reverted to her frightened deer-like deer form, sobbing with her red nose, and nestled against his chest with infinite dependence.

Liu Tingpei was overjoyed by her sudden change and held her tightly, refusing to let go. Although she had shown him kindness when she had miscarried before, it was not like this, a dependence that came from the depths of her bones.

"Your Majesty, I miss you so much." Her soft voice was a little hoarse from crying, but it sounded exceptionally alluring.

He was overjoyed to hear this, and tightened his grip on her arms, wishing he could pull her into his embrace and never be separated from her for the rest of his life.

"I also miss Yue'er terribly. I've been anxious for three days and three nights." His usually domineering and ruthless face was devoid of its usual sharp features, replaced only by a gentle tenderness towards the little one in his arms.

"Yue'er was wrong, I shouldn't have made you angry. I just didn't want to see you with Consort Xian, and just thinking about it makes me so... sob..."

The beauty sheds tears, and the feeling of being needed and longed for is so wonderful. Liu Tingpei's favor towards Consort Xian was originally just an act for her. At this moment, his true feelings are revealed, and he no longer remembers Consort Xian. "Yue'er, don't cry. In a little while, I will throw that vicious woman into the Cold Palace. No one can compare to Yue'er's place in my heart."

"Hmm." Her red lips curved into a smile, alluring and charming, yet a fleeting glint of ruthlessness in her alluring eyes was terrifying. However, the men, engrossed in the warmth and fragrance of her body, failed to notice… "Get away! Get off my body!" In the silent dormitory, a stunningly beautiful woman sat on the edge of the bed, her slender body stiff and rigid. A closer look revealed a slight tremor; her jade-like hands were clenched into fists at her sides, her brows furrowed, her eyes resolute. Her tightly pressed red lips uttered a single sentence, directed at the empty dormitory.

"Hmph, if I hadn't taken your place just now, would you have eloped with Zhu Mingquan by now?" The woman's face suddenly changed, filled with a century-old rage, her eyes revealing a chilling coldness...

When Qin Yuechan woke up, she was alone in the room. Her last memory was of her second senior brother telling her that he was going to take her away. But where did the rest of her memories go? Had she fainted again?

Suddenly, her body felt strange. It wasn't physical pain, but her mind was hazy and she felt like she was about to float away, her soul leaving her body. The words of the vengeful spirit kept echoing in her mind. After questioning her, she learned that she had just been possessed by the spirit and had rejected her second senior brother!

She had read this kind of story countless times in her past life; it seemed that all supernatural novels had such plots. But when this strange thing happened to her, it was a different story. The feeling of being terrified was definitely not enough to describe her feelings at this moment. She just didn't understand how the vengeful spirit that had been talking to her in her dreams could suddenly possess her, and she seemed to have no power to refute it. She could only try her best to not be too passive.

"Whether I go with Second Brother is my own business! It's none of your concern!" she roared, trying to regain control of her body.

"Are you going to betray me and not want revenge? Have you forgotten Chen Zhi's abandonment and how they toyed with you?! Don't forget how they tortured you in your dreams! Sooner or later, that will be your fate!" She roared furiously as these words spilled out of her mouth.

Qin Yuechan's expression suddenly went blank. Chen Zhi, a name that seemed so distant, yet also a deep-seated pain in her heart. She tried to bury the seemingly warm scene, but she couldn't deny the bloody truth of her child's departure! Yes, she had once dreamed of taking on all the men in the world, but after seeing her second senior brother today, that initial pure affection suddenly shattered her resolve. Could she still be so heartless?

The plaintive female voice rang out again, "Heh, fool, don't you understand in your heart? He knew all along that you were in Liu Tingpei's hands, but he didn't come to rescue you. Now that he suddenly appears to take you away, you just stupidly follow him? Aren't you afraid he'll abandon you the next second?!"

She remained silent, for her words had struck a nerve, hitting the very nerve in her heart, the very thing she least wanted to think about: her fourth senior brother's arrival meant there were spies from all four kingdoms in the Xuanwu Kingdom's palace. Since her second senior brother knew about her, why didn't he come to find her...?

"You can leave now. I'll think about it carefully, but you can't just take over my body like that!" she said coldly, frowning. After all, the feeling of having two souls in one body was too uncomfortable and strange, and she really disliked the feeling of her soul leaving her body!

"Okay, hehe..." The voice drifted further and further away until it disappeared.

She collapsed onto the bed, disoriented and disoriented, slowly pulling the covers over her head, unwilling to think about those messy things...

The next morning, Qin Yuechan got up early and did some light exercise in the courtyard, feeling refreshed. After drinking the medicine prescribed by her second senior brother, she felt much better; even the burning pain in her lower body had disappeared completely. However, being a serious illness, she was still somewhat lacking in energy, but with time and proper care, she was sure she would be lively and energetic again.

Qing'er led the eunuch who was delivering the imperial decree into the courtyard. Seeing her mistress looking up at the sky alone, she softly reminded her, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has issued a decree."

She tilted her head back as if ignoring him, and slowly closed her eyes. "Speak."

The young eunuch bowed and scraped, but the emperor, being of a higher rank, had granted the empress special permission not to kneel before receiving the imperial edict. He then opened the edict and read it aloud.

Yunqing had some personal matters to attend to today and got home very late, so the update is a bit late. Please forgive me, everyone!
