After being reborn, I went on a killing spree in the imperial court.

In the early morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the curtains.

Cao Yuan gently turned over in bed and suddenly felt something poking her hand.

She frowned in confusion, secretly wondering to herself.

As she gradually regained consciousness, Cao Yuan slowly opened her eyes and looked at the person beside her.

When she saw Chu Yan's profile, her heart skipped a beat.

Her eyes widened as she stared at him in disbelief. She tried hard to recall what had happened last night, only remembering that she had come here with Chu Yan and that she seemed to have asked him something...

She subconsciously touched her lips.

At this moment, she felt both shy and confused.

Cao Yuan, Cao Yuan, how could you do such a thing!

She wanted to get out of bed, but Chu Yan held her tightly in his arms and pulled her even closer.

Cao Yuan blinked, and suddenly her gaze fell on a belt lying on the ground in the distance, which looked like her own.

"what!"

A scream came from inside the room.

Chu Yan was suddenly awakened.

"What's wrong?" Chu Yan rubbed his eyes and sat up.

Cao Yuan covered her clothes, and before Chu Yan could react, she slapped him across the face. "Chu Yan, you beast! How dare you take advantage of someone in distress!"

"I'm going to castrate you!" Cao Yuan's voice was loud, attracting the attention of the waiter.

Is there something you need?

“没事！没事！”

"No, please listen to my explanation!"

Cao Yuan straddled him and grabbed his neck, so Chu Yan had no choice but to lock her wrists and press her down on the bed.

"Princess, please calm down! I didn't do anything."

Chu Yan tried to explain what happened yesterday, but Cao Yuan wouldn't listen at all.

"Sleeping in the same bed with me and then telling me to calm down! It's just... ugh!"

Chu Yan stared intently at her lips, his throat inexplicably bobbing before he kissed her deeply, the sudden kiss seeming to swallow up all her words.

His hands gripped Cao Yuan's wrists, panic and helplessness welling up inside her. She hadn't expected Chu Yan to do something so absurd while she was sober.

Cao Yuan watched quietly as he kissed her earnestly. Although it was a forceful kiss, it didn't feel aggressive at all; instead, it was a gradual conquest of her.

"Ugh..." Cao Yuan struggled for a long time, but he held her down firmly, and she quickly gave up.

Chu Yan seemed to notice that Cao Yuan was a little out of breath from the kiss, so he released her and even gave her a light, fleeting bite on the lips.

Cao Yuan opened her eyes and looked at Chu Yan, feeling somewhat uneasy.

The two kept their distance.

After a long silence, Chu Yan finally spoke, explaining, "Princess, I really didn't touch you yesterday. I didn't do anything! I swear!"

Cao Yuan calmed down and thought about it. She touched her clothes and found that they were indeed intact.

"Why did you come to see me yesterday? Did you and Cen Yin not finish what you were doing and come here again..."

"No!" Chu Yan immediately retorted before Cao Yuan could finish speaking.

“I have nothing with Cen Yin! Back in Chen State, I promised her I would have a child, but all I wanted was the roster! I didn’t think that much about it!”

I never agreed that it was me!

Cao Yuan's lips curved slightly, then she said casually, "Why are you telling me all this!"

"I...I was afraid you'd misunderstand!" Chu Yan explained.

"What could I possibly misunderstand? We're not related at all!"

Chu Yan asked her, "So, what do we mean by this now...?"

"You were the one who initiated it, so I won't take responsibility for you!" Cao Yuan suddenly sat up in bed.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Cao Yuan leaned closer and asked, "Do you want to kiss me again?"

Chu Yan raised his eyelids, about to say something, when Cao Yuan pressed down on him and kissed him domineeringly in the same manner he had just used.

Chu Yan rolled over and pinned her beneath him. "Can I do something else?"

Cao Yuan lowered her eyes, a blush rising on her face. She thought to herself, "It seems a bit too fast, especially in broad daylight."

Although that's what she thought, she nodded shyly.

Anyway, she's been married for over ten years, so there's nothing to be ashamed of.

Chu Yan pulled her into his arms and held her tightly, but he remained so for quite a while.

Cao Yuan looked up at him and said, "Let's move on to the next step quickly."

Chu Yan released her and asked疑惑地问道, "What's the next step?"

"That's it? Didn't you say you'd do something else? You just hugged me?" Cao Yuan looked at him in confusion.

"Yeah, what else do you think?"

"Oh, I see!"

Cao Yuan, Cao Yuan, what are you thinking about!

Seeing her dejected look, Chu Yan was somewhat puzzled, but immediately understood what she was thinking. He hesitated to speak, then said, "Princess, how could your mind..."

"Ah, stop talking, I have to go to the morning court session, I'm leaving now."

Cao Yuan jumped up from the bed with a start, grabbed her belt in a flurry, and ran away like a frightened rabbit.

"Princess! Slow down!"

Xue Xinian sat quietly on the edge of the bed, her gaze following Cao Yuan's departing figure, the passionate and affectionate kiss from just moments before constantly replaying in her mind.

His lips curled up slightly, and a smile unconsciously spread across his face—a smile that came from the bottom of his heart, a smile of joy and satisfaction.

The kiss seemed to ignite a fire in his heart, making him feel incredibly warm and happy.

When Cao Yuan arrived at the Xue residence, she slipped in through the back door when no one was looking.

推门进去。

"Jinzhu, quickly help me with my makeup..."

Cao Yuan didn't hear Jinzhu's voice. She looked up and saw Cao Shang sitting in the room waiting for her, with Jinzhu kneeling on the ground beside him.

"It's my elder sister who's back!"

When Cao Shang saw Cao Yuan return, he stood up and walked up to her, scrutinizing her. "Why are your clothes still dirty, Imperial Sister?"

"Imperial sister, have you only returned since you left yesterday? Imperial sister, do you even know you have a family? How can you be so unfaithful..."

Before she could finish speaking, Cao Yuan suddenly threw Cao Shang into the corridor.

"Princess!" Anping rushed over in a panic to help Cao Shang.

"Cao Yuan, how dare you hit me!" Cao Shang struggled to her feet, looking disheveled, and Anping quickly helped her brush the dust off her body.

"Why are you so agitated! It's not like I haven't hit you before!" Cao Yuan crossed her arms and leaned against the door frame.

"you!"

"To tell you the truth, I was with Xue Xinian yesterday! It's perfectly normal for us, as husband and wife, to be together! You don't need to make such a fuss!"

"Cao Yuan! If it weren't for your status, Xue Lang would have divorced you long ago. Don't be so smug! Tonight, when I enter the palace, I will definitely tell my father."

Hearing this, Cao Yuan felt a ripple in her heart, remembering something she had said to herself before she died in her previous life.

Cao Yuan sneered, unsure whether to laugh at her own stupidity or at hers.

After hearing what Cao Shang said, she was somewhat looking forward to the Qixi Festival banquet that evening.
