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

Sensing that gaze growing increasingly dangerous, Su Yan dared not continue speaking to Qin Yang. She clutched her chest, furrowed her brows, and said weakly, "Your Highness, the carriage was bumpy on the way, and Chang Le was feeling unwell, so we returned first."

"Alright, then go back and rest quickly. If you feel really unwell, don't bear it. Tell your maids and servants to ask His Majesty to send an imperial physician to examine you as soon as possible." Qin Yang couldn't help but urge her, afraid that she wouldn't go to Qin Yan to have an imperial physician examine her because she disliked Qin Yan.

Su Yan smiled gratefully, "Chang Le will remember, thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

After saying that, she gave a shy yet sweet smile, turned around, and left.

Turning around, Su Yan instantly put on a flattering and obedient smile, and slowly moved towards the carriage in the distance.

Qin Yan, inside the carriage, gritted his teeth in anger. It seemed that no matter how he punished the little girl, she wouldn't obey.

When traveling, there are too many people accompanying him, and with so many eyes and ears, he can no longer keep her by his side all day long like before, eating and sleeping with her, and even punishing her properly.

Suddenly, Qin Yan laughed in anger.

It seems the little girl also thought of this, assuming that he couldn't do anything to her during the autumn hunt, which is why she dared to go and see Qin Yang!

Seeing the little girl wanting to return to her carriage, Qin Yan chuckled and turned to instruct the chief eunuch to fetch her. "Someone, go and fetch the imperial physician, and also fetch Princess Chang Le. Tell her that I noticed she looked unwell and sent the imperial physician to examine her."

Su Yan couldn't refuse Qin Yan's invitation in front of so many people, lest she lose face in front of his ministers, guards, and servants.

She could only walk to Qin Yan's carriage under the guidance of the chief eunuch, and was helped onto the carriage by Jing Xia and Ling Chun.

The imperial physician arrived quickly and took Su Yan's pulse through a silk handkerchief. After a moment, he said, "Your Majesty, Princess Chang Le is weak and cannot withstand the arduous journey, which is why she is experiencing chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and fatigue. She only needs to rest for a day or two and continue taking the previous mild tonics to eliminate the symptoms."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan's brows furrowed with a deep sense of listlessness. "Your Majesty, I think I should return to Kunjing and stay there, lest I fall ill and spoil Your Majesty's and the many court officials' enjoyment of the autumn hunt."

"You may leave. Go and prepare the tonic for Princess Chang Le. Do not entrust this to anyone else. If there is any problem with the medicine, I will hold you responsible. Do you understand?"

With so many people accompanying him, it was hard to say whether there were any spies or assassins. Qin Yan was even more concerned and cautious about Su Yan's affairs than about his own, otherwise he wouldn't feel at ease.

The imperial physician carefully agreed and respectfully withdrew. Upon returning, he meticulously examined everything from the medicinal herbs to the earthenware pot used for decocting the medicine, the entire decocting process, and finally the bowls and spoons used to hold the medicine. He dared not ask the medicine boy for help.

On the imperial carriage, after the imperial physician left, Qin Yan immediately pulled the pale-faced Su Yan into his arms, kissed her forehead, then lifted her onto his lap and kissed her lips tenderly.

He forgot that he had asked her to come to the palace to punish her for her earlier disobedience; he was only thinking about how to comfort her and make her feel less disappointed.

“Ayan, I’ll tell the team to slow down and have the soldiers fill in the uneven parts of the road ahead and move all the stones so that the carriage won’t be so bumpy and you won’t feel so uncomfortable. Will you stay and go hunting with me in the autumn?”

Don't you like animals? I'll catch you rabbits and foxes so you can keep them as pets, okay?

As he coaxed her, he would occasionally brush his lips against her earlobe, sending waves of heat and tingling sensation through her, causing Su Yan's body to tremble slightly.

"Your Majesty, please speak properly, don't do this..." Su Yan pushed him, unable to bear it any longer.

Seeing that the disappointment on her face had lessened, Qin Yan was satisfied. He cupped her small face and gave her a big kiss on the lips, making a loud "pop~" sound.

Su Yan burst into tears, turning bright red like a boiled shrimp. "Your Majesty! You, you, you... how could you do this?"

Halfway through her exclamation, Su Yan remembered that there were people outside the carriage, and quickly lowered her voice to accuse him in shame and indignation.

Seeing that she no longer showed any disappointment on her face, Qin Yan was even more satisfied. Her coquettish and shy gaze aroused his anger. He pulled her to the side cushion, pressed himself against her, and began to kiss her. "Ayan, don't be angry. I'll kiss you gently this time. I promise I won't make any noise!"

"No, people will see us when we get off the carriage." Su Yan turned her face away to avoid his kiss, pushed him back, and then looked back at him. "Your Majesty, do you want to ruin my reputation and make me the subject of everyone's gossip?"

"If I didn't care about your reputation, I would have already issued an edict to make you Empress and carried you into the palace in a grand sedan chair to pamper you day and night!" Qin Yan hugged her tightly, feeling frustrated.

This young girl knew perfectly well that he would never ruin her reputation, make her the subject of public criticism, or have her recorded in history as a shameless empress who committed incest with her sworn brother. How could she deliberately say such things to provoke him?

Su Yan blushed and, embarrassed, raised her hand to slap his chest.

Pampering you day and night?

What kind of talk are these?

However, before that hand could even land on Qin Yan's chest, he grabbed it and pulled it to his lips, giving those slender, white fingers a light kiss.

"Then Your Majesty, please don't send soldiers to clear the way, and please don't bully Ayan, okay?" Su Yan pulled his hand down, shook his hands with both of them, and pleaded softly.

She was already being so coquettish, how could Qin Yan possibly refuse? "I'll do whatever you say."

"But you have to promise me you won't see Qin Yang again. Even if you bump into him by chance, you're not allowed to be alone with him and talk to him again, understand?"

“Your Majesty, I have never spoken to Qin Yang alone. Jingxia and Lingchun are always there.” Su Yan couldn’t help but refute his words.

Qin Yan laughed angrily, "Your two maids always stay a zhang away. If Qin Yang wanted to take advantage of you, he would have already taken advantage of you by the time those two maids got close."

"Your Majesty, although Qin Yang is ambitious and dares to covet your throne, you can't say he's a lustful man who tries to take advantage of me, can you?"

Qin Yan stared silently at her face.

He thought to himself: Qin Yang is indeed not a person who is blinded by lust, but that also depends on how stunning the "lust" is!

Other beauties might not be able to make Qin Yang lose his mind, but this young girl in front of him might be a different story.

"In short, I listened to what you said, and you have to listen to what I said too, understand?" Qin Yan said earnestly, holding her hand tightly.

Su Yan nodded obediently, "Your Majesty, I understand."

Whether or not to do it is another matter.

Qin Yan was satisfied. "That's good."

"Ayan, sit here, I'll teach you how to play chess." He lifted Su Yan onto the seat by the carriage window and carefully straightened her clothes and slightly disheveled jewelry. After confirming that everything was in order, he sat back down in his previous seat.

Ever since Su Zhan hosted the flower viewing banquet last time, allowing Su Yan to officially appear before the families of high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Kunjing, Su Yan's beauty has spread rapidly.

Many women who were jealous of Su Yan's beauty secretly mocked her, saying that even if she was as beautiful as an angel and even if she was given the title of princess, it would not change the fact that she was a good-for-nothing who grew up in the countryside and knew nothing about music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, or etiquette.

These words were spread, and Qin Yan knew about them even before Su Yan.

He had already sent people to quell the rumors, not wanting Su Yan to be heartbroken if she found out.

However, Qin Yang took the initiative to talk to Su Yan about these rumors and comforted her, expressing that he would not despise her feelings because of them.

When Su Yan found out, she went back to her residence, hid in her room, and cried her heart out.

The news reached Qin Yan's ears through the secret guards, and he left the palace that very night to go to the Prince of Zhan's residence to appease people.

He coaxed her by saying he would teach her music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and teach her to write and appreciate poetry. He even sent two very well-behaved old nannies to her residence to teach her.

He had kept her in the palace for half a month before, and he would teach her these things every day after finishing his official duties. Now he could use this excuse to shut up the others and let Ayan stay on the imperial carriage with him.
