Su Yan returned to the War King's mansion and sensed something was wrong as soon as she entered her courtyard. She turned around to run away, but a strong arm grabbed her waist from behind and lifted her up, her back pressed against a broad and firm chest.

The servants in the courtyard had long been driven out, and Jingxia and Lingchun were also stopped outside the courtyard by the head eunuch.

Su Yan was held in Qin Yan's arms with one hand, and she felt a little flustered. She quickly begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I will never see Qin Yang again. Please let me go."

No, that's not true. Actually, before they parted ways, they made plans to take a pleasure boat trip on the Dongliu River to Tailing Lake the day after tomorrow.

"Ayan is really naughty. I think we should give her a serious lesson so she will be more obedient." Qin Yan said calmly in her ear, then put her under his arm and took her back to the room.

The moment the door closed, Su Yan truly chickened out.

Yesterday in the carriage, that little Qin Yan pressed against her abdomen for a long time, and she was afraid he would lose control.

Fortunately he held back.

But can he still hold back today?

Qin Yan showed her with his actions that he couldn't resist!

So Su Yan's hands were almost ruined.

Her hands ached so much that Qin Yan had to feed her dinner, and he even hugged her like a human pillow all night.

However, Su Yan did not give up on getting close to Qin Yang. She arrived as promised the day after tomorrow and went boating on the river and lake with him.

Qin Yang even plotted against her, wanting her to fall into the water so he could play the hero and save her.

Fortunately, the system alerted Su Yan in time, and Su Yan devised a plan to make him fall into the water, leaving him soaked and bringing the lake trip to an abrupt end.

However, Qin Yang did not give up and invited her to admire the maple leaves at the back mountain of the Royal Taoist Temple in the suburbs in ten days.

Su Yan agreed.

Back at the War King's mansion, as expected, she was once again severely reprimanded by Qin Yan. Her hands ached so much that she couldn't hold chopsticks, and she could only be fed by Qin Yan bite by bite.

At night, I have to continue to be used as a human-shaped pillow, and I will be left with red marks. In the morning, I have to use my hands again.

.........

Ten days later, on her way to the Royal Taoist Temple, Su Yan was suddenly reminded by the system, "Host, Qin Yang has arranged for bandits at the foot of the mountain to kidnap you."

I was planning to play the hero and rescue you when you were completely desperate for help.

"How deep is his obsession with being a hero and saving a damsel in distress? Ten years ago, he was already scheming to be my savior. Now that ten years have passed, why does he still want to be my savior?" Su Yan was utterly speechless.

The system gloated, "In ancient times, people valued the life-saving grace between men and women. If the man was good-looking, he would repay the debt with his body; if he was not good-looking, he would serve the man like a beast of burden or repay the debt with kindness."

Do you think you look good now?

"If I weren't good-looking, would Qin Yang have wasted so much time and energy on me?" Su Yan rolled her eyes at the system.

She racked her brains, trying to think of a good way to escape the bandits arranged by Qin Yang.

Before she could come up with a good solution, the two wheels of the carriage suddenly broke.

Su Yan: This is the first time I've ever been so grateful for my unlucky constitution.

With two wheels broken, the carriage could neither move forward nor backward. Su Yan then sent two servants, one to the royal Taoist temple ahead to inform Qin Yang, and the other back to the city to inform Su Zhan.

The secret guards protecting Su Yan also sent one of them back to report to Qin Yan.

Upon receiving the news, Qin Yang immediately ordered the bandits to rush to the place where Su Yan's carriage had broken down.

He repeatedly instructed the private soldiers disguised as bandits not to harm Su Yan.

He himself didn't know whether it was because he was afraid of losing this pawn that could get close to Qin Yan, or because he was worried about Su Yan herself.

The messenger soldier repeatedly assured Qin Yang that he would relay the message to the bandit leader before Qin Yang allowed him to leave.

Afterwards, he led a group of personal guards and slowly made his way to where Su Yan was.

When Qin Yang arrived, Su Yan had already been rescued by Qin Yan and Su Zhan. All the people Qin Yang sent to impersonate bandits were killed by Qin Yan's guards and Su Zhan's personal guards.

Qin Yang immediately lost control of his expression, staring grimly at the corpses on the ground.

Qin Yan was already in the carriage with Su Yan and was not here at this moment.

Seeing Qin Yang's extremely ugly expression, Su Zhan felt much better.

Ever since he learned that Qin Yang might be one of the culprits who killed his father, he has been obsessed with finding out the truth and bringing him to justice.

"Your Highness, my daughter Ayan has been frightened and is feeling unwell. I will take her back to the palace in a little while."

"If Prince Chang'an enjoys admiring maple leaves, why not invite your princess to come and keep you company?" Su Zhan gave him a perfunctory curtsy.

Qin Yang took two deep breaths before regaining his composure. With an apologetic expression, he returned Su Zhan's greeting, "Your Majesty, I was unaware that there were bandits in the outskirts of Kunjing. Otherwise, I would never have invited Chang Le to the Taoist temple to admire the autumn leaves."

"Chang Le was frightened today, and the fault lies entirely with me. After I return to the city, I will bring generous gifts to your residence to apologize to Chang Le."

"Your Highness, please send your visiting card another day before you come to visit. Ayan was too frightened just now and is currently unconscious. His Majesty wants to take her to the palace for treatment by the imperial physicians, so I'm afraid we won't be able to entertain Your Highness."

"Chang Le fainted from fright? Where is she right now?" Qin Yang asked with some concern.

She felt a growing regret for arranging for bandits to kidnap her.

At that moment, he didn't realize that his feelings for Su Yan went beyond scheming and exploitation; there were many other things involved.

Seeing Su Zhan order the return to the city, he lost interest in admiring the maple leaves and followed Su Zhan's group with his personal guards.

Inside the carriage, Su Yan did not faint from fright.

She almost fainted from lack of oxygen after being kissed by Qin Yan.

"Mmm...no more...Your Majesty, no more..."

He seized the opportunity to pry open her teeth and burst in, swallowing all her sounds and burying them in his own stomach.

Su Yan collapsed beneath him, her hands weakly clutching the back of his shirt as she endured his forceful punishment.

Back at the palace, Su Yan had already fallen into a deep sleep.

As usual, Qin Yan wrapped Su Yan tightly in his large cloak, preventing anyone from seeing her rosy-cheeked face.

Su Zhan wanted to see how Su Yan was doing, but he wasn't allowed to.

He was so angry that he wanted to snatch Su Yan back home.

Your Majesty is becoming more and more shameless!

He is clearly Ayan's biological brother, while His Majesty and Ayan are only sworn brothers and sisters. Why can't he even look at Ayan?

Qin Yan settled Su Yan in the rear hall of the Taiji Hall, in his own bedroom.

The Taiji Hall is full of his people, and there are also secret guards monitoring them. Those who are disloyal have long been dealt with.

Those who remain are all loyal and devoted; no one will reveal that Ayan lives in the emperor's palace.

Qin Yan used the pretext of letting Su Yan recuperate to keep her confined in the palace.

To the outside world, they said they arranged for her to be placed in the princess's quarters, but in reality, the princess's quarters were just a substitute. Su Yan actually slept and ate in Qin Yan's palace every day.

Qin Yan would have meals with her every day and hold her while she slept. If he wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to resist going all the way, Qin Yan would also like to soak in the hot spring with her.

Su Yan was "sick" for half a month, and only "recovered" the day before the autumn hunt.

During Su Yan's "recuperation" period, Qin Yang would come to the palace to see her every other day.

However, Qin Yan always found an excuse to stop him, and he never got to see Su Yan.

But perhaps because he couldn't see her, he missed her even more, and he would think of Su Yan every day.

He was also on the list of those accompanying the autumn hunt. As soon as the team stopped to rest for the first time, he couldn't wait to go find Su Yan.

Seeing that Su Yan's complexion was much better and rosier than it had been half a month ago, his worries eased considerably. "Chang Le, how have you been doing in the palace these days?"

Su Yan glanced at the imperial carriage with disgust and shook her head slightly. "Chang Le has been doing quite well these days. How about Your Highness? Have you been doing well these days?"

"I've been thinking of Chang Le, but my brother won't let me visit you, so I haven't been doing very well." Qin Yang looked at her affectionately.

Su Yan felt herself being locked onto by a strong and dangerous gaze. Without turning her head, she knew that Qin Yan must have discovered that she had come to see Qin Yang again.

Her hand is going to fall apart again today??^??
