The male lead went insane after the female supporting character gave birth to the main villain'

A chill spread through the room. Su Yan, behind the screen, sensed the change in atmosphere and nervously pulled the blanket tighter around her, asking cautiously, "Your Highness? Has something happened?"

Noticing the girl's fear, Qin Yan quickly suppressed his murderous intent and aura. "Ayan, the matter has been investigated. It was the governor of Qizhou, Guo Chengping, who sent people to kidnap you here."

"Guo Chengping, the governor of Qizhou? I don't know him. Why did he kidnap me here?" Su Yan was very puzzled.

Qin Yan explained somewhat guiltily, "It's because I looked at you a little too long when I helped you up on the street, and Guo Chengping assumed I had taken a liking to you, which is why he sent people to kidnap you and put you on my bed... cough..."

The words "Ah Yan is on his bed" kept replaying in Qin Yan's mind, making his heart race and his ears burn.

"Just because you looked at me for a little while, he kidnapped me and offered me to you? That corrupt official!" Su Yan pounded the bed in anger.

Qin Yan saw a blurry figure angrily pounding the bed through the screen. She found it somewhat adorable and a smile appeared on her lips. "That's how it is."

However, although Ayan was abducted here, she was only handled by old women, not men. Ayan has not lost her chastity, so there's no need to worry about it.

The little girl behind the screen remained motionless and silent for a long time. Qin Yan didn't understand why she suddenly fell silent. He got up and was about to go over to see if she was secretly crying again when he heard her very soft murmur.

"Where is your innocence? You clearly saw it all, touched it, and hugged it..."

Qin Yan stood frozen in place, his mind completely disrupted at this moment, with only the words "You saw it, touched it, and hugged it" crashing against his heart like a tidal wave.

The little girl behind the screen pulled her head back under the covers, and then intermittent, very faint sobs could be heard.

If Qin Yan hadn't practiced martial arts for many years and had such keen senses, he probably wouldn't have heard such a faint sound.

Hearing her cries, Qin Yan disregarded his own turmoil, walked around the screen, sat on the edge of the bed, and patted the bulging blankets. "Ayan, don't cry, I..."

He almost blurted out "I'll marry you."

But then he remembered that he had been given a drug that would prevent him from having children, and he could no longer say the words "marry you" to her.

He was fifteen years older than Ayan. If they hadn't been born in a chaotic era and married five years later, his children would be as old as Ayan's by now.

He and Changkai were destined to die before Ayan. If they were both gone, Ayan, as his empress, would have to spend the rest of her life alone in the deep palace.

The new emperor is not their biological child. It is already very difficult for them to respect Ayan out of filial piety and not let their concubines treat Ayan with disrespect. They cannot expect the new emperor to be able to accompany Ayan often and not let her stay alone in the deep palace.

Thinking about it this way, Qin Yan was even less able to say he wanted to marry her. He couldn't let this matter ruin Ayan's life.

As long as he gets rid of Guo Chengping and the people he sent, and then buries the matter deep in his heart, no one will know that they had ever been intimate.

"Ayan, I will deal with everyone who knows about this and make sure no one knows. Please don't cry anymore, okay?" Qin Yan gently patted the blanket and coaxed her softly.

Su Yan peeked out from under the covers, her face streaked with tears, and tentatively asked him, "And what about you, Your Highness?"

"I promise I won't mention this to anyone else, and I won't let anyone find out and gossip about you, or hinder you from marrying your ideal husband..." Qin Yan said the last sentence with some difficulty.

Saying those words felt like being pricked by needles; it was both painful and itchy, making him very uncomfortable.

The girl is so delicate, she's always having bad luck without him. Who can I entrust her to without worry?

Su Yan's eyes dimmed, and she pulled the blanket over herself again, leaving no gap.

Qin Yan was a little confused. How come her attempts to coax him only made him angrier?

"Ayan? What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"Ayan? If I said something wrong, please point it out, and I'll apologize and make amends, okay?"

"Ayan, come out and get some fresh air first, don't suffocate yourself."

……

A knock at the door interrupted Qin Yan, who was comforting the little girl.

It was those two attendants who bought the clothes.

Qin Yan picked out a crimson high-waisted ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) and placed it by the bed. "Ayan, I've put the dress by the bed. Put it on first, and I'll wait for you outside the screen."

Su Yan got out of bed after he left, picked up the ruqun he had chosen, and put it on.

When Su Yan came out from behind the screen, Qin Yan turned around and was once again amazed by her beauty.

She was like a wisp of cloud illuminated by the morning glow at sunrise, dazzlingly beautiful.

Upon closer inspection, her frail and sickly appearance made her resemble the blood-red sunset, giving her a poignant and magnificent beauty that seemed impossible to hold onto.

"Your Highness?"

Qin Yan snapped out of his reverie at the captivating beauty of her face, clenching his fists behind his back to calm his turbulent emotions. "Ayan, are you hungry? Are you thirsty? I'll go downstairs and have someone prepare some food and drinks and bring them over."

Seeing him turn to leave, Su Yan quickly grabbed his sleeve and said anxiously, "Your Highness, I'm scared... Please don't leave me here alone."

"Okay, I'll give the order outside the door and come right back, don't be afraid!" Qin Yan patted her shoulder reassuringly.

She must have been terrified to be suddenly kidnapped to an unfamiliar place, a brothel.

She can only rely on him now, so she must not want to be separated from him. He shouldn't leave her alone upstairs.

If any man were to enter the wrong room and see the beautiful Ah Yan, he would surely take liberties with her.

He has to stay and protect Ayan!

.........

After Su Yan finished eating, Qin Yan stammered, "Ayan... there's something I'd like to ask you for help with..."

"Yes, I'm happy to be of help to Your Highness." Su Yan nodded without hesitation and gave him a happy smile.

This innocent and naive appearance made it even harder for Qin Yan to speak.

After a long silence, Su Yan asked in confusion, "Your Highness, why don't you say what kind of favor it is?"

Qin Yan closed his eyes, "As long as Ayan makes a sound, that's enough..."

"Ok?"

Looking into those innocent eyes, Qin Yan's ears and neck turned red again. "Just call me like Ayan did when she told me to go away and not touch you..."

Su Yan seemed to have heard something unbelievable, her eyes wide open. After she finished processing what she heard, she turned completely red, almost like a boiled shrimp.

Seeing her open her mouth and close it again and again, Qin Yan realized that he was being unreasonable and was about to say forget it.

Then Su Yan lowered her head and said in a voice barely above a whisper, "Yes, yes, that's fine..."

"You agreed?" Qin Yan was somewhat surprised, and there was also a hint of anticipation and joy that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

"Mmm." Su Yan's head was almost buried in her chest.

Lying on the bed, Su Yan's face was flushed red. She tried several times but couldn't call out, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Your Highness, I... I can't say it..."

"Don't rush, if you can't say it, then don't. I can shake the bed and it'll be the same." Qin Yan lay down on his side next to her, his body taut and his eyes half-closed, not daring to look at the delicate body lying in front of him.
