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

Qin Yan sat on the edge of the bed, leaning over to look at Su Yan's face, and tenderly touched her cheek.

Ayan has lost weight.

"Ayan, give me some time, and I will find a way to marry you, so that your reputation will not be damaged, and you can happily be my empress!" Qin Yan murmured softly, leaning down to kiss her forehead.

The ink flowed from her forehead to the bridge of her nose, the tip of her nose, and finally gently touched her petal-like red lips.

Their lips met, and Qin Yan lingered there, reluctant to pull away, even giving each other a light peck, again and again…

It wasn't until he couldn't control his strength and sucked hard that the girl beneath him felt uncomfortable and let out a soft moan, "Mmm..."

Qin Yan released her lips, got up, and slipped into the shadows by the cabinet.

The little girl on the bed sat up, got up, walked around the screen to the table to pour water, drank the water, and then lay back down on the bed.

Fifteen minutes later, Qin Yan emerged silently from the shadows beside the cabinet. This time, he dared not linger, fearing he might lose control and kiss her again.

After he left, Su Yan opened her eyes, touched her lips, then turned over and continued to sleep.

The next day.

The flower-viewing banquet that Su Zhan had been preparing for many days finally arrived.

Su Zhan only told Su Yan and Qin Yan about one of the purposes of this banquet: to formally introduce Su Yan to the high-ranking officials and noble families of Kunjing, so that they would know what the eldest daughter of the Zhan Prince's Mansion and the newly appointed Princess Chang Le looked like.

As for the second purpose, choosing a husband for Su Yan, Su Zhan only told his wife, Fang Wanqing, and asked her to help inquire about the young men.

Many people attended the banquet; almost all the officials, noble families, and members of the royal family in Kunjing sent their families.

They all brought generous gifts to the banquet.

Su Yan was dressed up by Jing Xia like a fairy from the Moon Palace, wearing a moon-white straight-necked waist-length ruqun, making Su Yan look ethereal.

Jingxia also added a bright yellow crescent flower ornament to Su Yan's forehead, and then applied gold powder over it, making the ornament look radiant and adding a touch of divinity and nobility to Su Yan's already dazzling appearance.

When Su Yan appeared, all the places she went were silent.

In the crowd, Qin Yang stared at her intently, ignoring even the woman beside him who spoke to him.

However, most of the men in the room were like him, and not many people noticed his loss of composure.

"Ayan, come here quickly, let your sister-in-law help you recognize people." Fang Wanqing heard the gasps of the people around her, turned her head and saw Su Yan, who looked like a fairy descended from the Moon Palace. She was stunned for a full five breaths before she came to her senses and waved to Su Yan with a smile.

Their youngest sister is truly a peerless beauty. No matter how many times she sees her, she is always stunned by her stunningly beautiful face.

Look at all these people in the room, regardless of age or gender, their eyes are all fixed on Ayan, without blinking.

"Sister-in-law." Su Yan obediently walked to Fang Wanqing's side and followed her to recognize her.

When people speak to her, they all unconsciously lower their voices, afraid that speaking too loudly will frighten her.

After recognizing the people, an hour had passed. Su Yan was weak, and even just walking a few steps in the banquet to recognize people was exhausting. So she had the system check Qin Yang's location and deliberately walked past places where he could see her.

However, Qin Yang wasn't the only one who saw her leave; many other men who had been secretly or overtly watching her location also witnessed it.

They quickly found an excuse to leave and followed the direction Su Yan had gone.

Qin Yan, who was secretly visiting the Prince of Zhan's residence, also saw Su Yan leave from the hexagonal pavilion on the artificial hill. He turned around and looked at Su Zhan, who was calmly drinking tea in the pavilion, and thought he was in the way. "Why aren't you entertaining those guests? What are you doing following me?"

"Your Majesty is too kind. All those people below combined are not even half as precious as Your Majesty. Naturally, I must prioritize entertaining Your Majesty. As for those people below, I can only leave them to my Princess Consort to entertain." After Su Zhan finished speaking, he leisurely blew on the steam rising from his teacup and took a small sip.

Today, he wanted Ayan to see more of the other young men, so that she wouldn't be preoccupied with His Majesty and spend all her time hiding in her room, secretly grieving.

If she were to see His Majesty today, her heart would surely be with him, and she wouldn't even notice the other young men.

Therefore, he had to keep a close eye on His Majesty and prevent Him from appearing in front of Ayan!

Seeing that he was determined to follow him, Qin Yan felt a slight headache. He raised his hand to press his temples and said weakly, "Chang Kai, I want to go see A Yan. You go and do your thing."

Su Zhan put down his teacup, looked at him without speaking, his eyes scrutinizing him. "Your Majesty knows that Ayan is in love with you, yet you have already recognized her as your sworn sister, causing her to be heartbroken and weep. Why do you still go to see Ayan?"

Su Zhan recalled the day Su Yan returned; she rode in Qin Yan's carriage, and from outside the city to the Taiji Hall of the Imperial City, she also rode in Qin Yan's imperial carriage.

Moreover, the clothes and jewelry that Qin Yan prepared for Su Yan were all items that only the Empress could use.

On the imperial carriage, Su Yan almost fainted from crying. Qin Yan forcibly pulled his hand away and pulled Su Yan into his arms to pat her back to calm her down.

Qin Yan also helped Su Yan down from the carriage and stood up for her when she was being harassed by his two concubines.

And on the night of the palace banquet, Qin Yan left under an excuse after only a quarter of an hour of the banquet had started, and Su Yan was left in the palace overnight.

Su Zhan thought about it carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more alarmed he became!

"Your Majesty, tell me honestly, have you long harbored improper thoughts towards Ayan?"

"...Yes! From the night I recognized Ayan, I fell for her, but because of our past sibling relationship, I didn't dare to admit it." Qin Yan didn't think there was anything to hide from Su Zhan about this.

Su Zhan is Su Yan's older brother, so he definitely won't tell anyone.

Moreover, it's good that Su Zhan knows; perhaps Su Zhan can put in a good word for him with Su Yan.

If Su Zhan knew what he was thinking, he probably wouldn't even care about his status as an emperor and would just punch him to show him the consequences of his wishful thinking.

Su Zhan's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth in anger. "Your Majesty, Ayan is a full fifteen years younger than you. You're old enough to be Ayan's father!"

Qin Yan felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart, almost causing him to vomit blood.

This is one of the reasons why he hesitated to admit his true feelings; it's the thing he cares about most.

"I know, but Changkai, are you comfortable entrusting Ayan to someone else? Even if you are comfortable, I am not!"

"Do you know how weak Ayan is? Without a skilled imperial physician or precious medicinal herbs, even a minor cold could take Ayan's life."

Aside from the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons and the Imperial Palace, where else in the world can you find skilled doctors and precious medicinal herbs?

Ayan definitely can't go back to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons. Mr. He is a full twelve years older than us and can't protect Ayan for much longer.

So, besides the palace, have you found a third place?

Su Zhan remained silent for a moment, then said with a lack of confidence, "I can support Ayan for the rest of my life. I am willing to exchange my merits, the throne, and all my family property for royal physicians and precious medicinal herbs to support Ayan."

“But Ayan won’t let you do that!” Qin Yan looked at him sharply. “If you do that, it will only make Ayan choose to leave alone again, so as not to be a burden to you!”

Do you want to experience again the feeling of Ah Yan leaving alone to face death alone?

Su Zhan trembled all over, his mouth went dry, and he couldn't utter a single word.

The incident eight years ago had already caused him immense grief; how could he possibly want to experience it again?!
