The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

He left the bedroom and went to the outer room, saying to Huanyun who was waiting outside the door, "Huanyun, go to the small study and fetch the official business I need to handle today. I will handle the official business here today and will not go to the small study."

"Yes, Master." After responding, Huan Yun turned and went to the small study.

Jin Chenyuan felt that he couldn't leave Yue Li too far before she woke up, lest she overthink things if she couldn't see him after waking up. And while he was handling official business in the outer room, he could hear any movement Yue Li made in the bedroom.

He hasn't arranged anyone to serve Yue Li yet, so he has to do all of Yue Li's personal affairs himself.

In fact, he himself quite enjoyed serving Yue Li personally, and in this era, being able to personally serve one's wife was also a form of recognition of the husband.

Many of them, after taking their husband's family property and having children with him, simply ignore him.

The person who should have been serving Princess Chen should have been prepared and trained when he turned 16.

However, after meeting the noble ladies of Kyoto, he had no intention of getting married and thus refused the Empress Dowager's arrangement.

However, it's not too late now. There are many new people who enter the palace every year after being castrated. We can choose a few suitable candidates from the palace at that time.

While handling official business on the low couch by the window, Jin Chenyuan was thinking about how to select useful servants for Yue Li.

Time flowed slowly by, and it was almost noon.

On the large bed in the bedroom, Yue Li slowly opened her somewhat red, swollen, and sore eyes. She raised her hand to rub her uncomfortable eyes before she could see where she was lying.

Instantly, Yue Li was startled and sat up. "Hiss!" The soreness in her body forced her to lie back down.

Feeling the soreness in her body, especially the tingling pain in her private parts, she felt like she couldn't even lift her legs.

Before she could even recall what had happened, Yue Li instinctively channeled her spiritual energy to relieve the aches and pains in her body.

After the soreness in her body subsided slightly, Yue Li began to recall what had happened. As she did so, memories of the previous night flooded back to her like a torrent.

Thinking about her visit to Lexiang Pavilion last night, the strange feeling in her body after leaving Lexiang Pavilion, her clinging to Jin Chenyuan after seeing him, and what happened between the two of them last night, Yue Li felt an urge to die.

Pulling the thin blanket over her head, Yue Li felt utterly ashamed to face anyone.

But the moment Yue Li buried her head in the thin blanket, she realized through the light that she was completely naked.

And what's with those bluish-purple spots on her body?

Immediately, I thought of last night and wondered who had left these traces.

Quietly lifting the thin blanket, Yue Li noticed through the light that the bruises on her body weren't just alarmingly numerous on her chest; the finger marks from being pinched by large hands on both sides of her waist were also a patch of bruises.

Yue Li: ……

She immediately blushed and covered herself with the thin blanket she had lifted, leaving not a single gap.

Hiding herself under the thin blanket, Yue Li just wanted to disappear from this world. She couldn't just disappear from this world; she'd rather disappear from this room!

That way, I won't have to face the owner of this room anymore.

It's obvious without even thinking whose bed she's lying in in this unfamiliar room.

Thinking of Jin Chenyuan, who had taken such good care of her since they first met, Yue Li felt extremely guilty.

Such a promising young man was ruined by his own muddled thinking.

Well, even though he's an older single man, with his status, what kind of woman couldn't he find?

Now, because of what happened last night, he was completely taken advantage of.

Although in the chaotic memories of last night, she vaguely remembered that Jin Chenyuan was the one who held onto her tightly in the end. Yes, the marks on her body could prove it.

But that doesn't erase the fact that she started it!

Yue Li wailed inwardly.

I only went to Le Xiang Ge out of curiosity, how did it end up like this?

Now look what's happened; the powerful backer I finally found has been ruined by my own actions.

Yue Li curled up and huddled under the thin blanket, but suddenly, the blanket stopped moving.

Yue Li poked her head out from under the thin blanket, and instantly, the image of a disheveled, crazy woman was revealed.

Yue Li felt she couldn't just sit and wait for her fate. Although she knew she had wronged Jin Chenyuan, she was too ashamed to face him now.

She should find somewhere to hide first!

As for Jin Chenyuan, she can only think about making it up to him after she finds a place to settle down.

As for the person who protected me last night, who said I was drugged, I can only investigate that after I've settled in.

She'll definitely want to see who dared to drug her great-aunt.

Didn't you see that the person who initially harbored ill intentions towards you has already become the excrement of wild beasts on the mountain behind Qingshan Village?

Even those who are alive are living a life worse than death in bed.

She had gone through so much trouble to come to the capital from Pingchuan County, and finally managed to get her household registration. She was about to settle down and live a peaceful life, but now this has happened.

她容易吗她？

She casually brushed aside the long hair clinging to her face, revealing a delicate face flushed with red, her fox-like eyes blazing with anger. After listening carefully to make sure there was no one else in the room, she listened for any sounds.

Yue Li stretched out her bruised arm from under the thin blanket, and instantly, a jade bowl appeared in her hand, filled with spiritual spring water. She didn't have the mood to find another container to fill the bowl with the spiritual spring water. She brought the jade bowl to her lips and slowly drank a few mouthfuls of the spiritual spring water, which relieved her dry and slightly sore throat.

The spiritual spring water that she had just drunk from the jade bowl was instantly replenished.

However, if you look closely, you can see a transparent bead the size of a walnut inside the jade bowl.

This transparent bead is the source of a spiritual spring that Yue Li unearthed while exploring a secret realm in the cultivation world. This seemingly ordinary jade bowl, on the other hand, is a stone she specially dug out next to the source of the spiritual spring to protect it.

It took her almost ten days to dig out that eye stone. In the end, to craft this jade bowl, she spent half of her already meager fortune to acquire the inexhaustible spiritual spring water she has now.

The jade bowl, now restored to a bowl of spiritual spring water, was put back into the space.

Another small jade bottle appeared in his hand, with a note attached to it that read "Repair Pill".

He poured out a pill and put it in his mouth, then threw the small jade bottle back into his spatial storage. He then circulated his spiritual energy to quickly refine the medicinal power of the repair pill.

The moment the repair pill was refined, all of Yue Li's discomfort and the bruises on her body disappeared.

Her previously red, swollen, and dry eyes regained their clarity and brightness, and her skin returned to its fair and smooth appearance.
