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

Given Jin Chenyuan's status, handling this matter should be quite easy for him.

Yue Li's words surprised Jin Chenyuan. Although he had already guessed it after learning that Yue Li had gone to register the man's household registration.

But guessing is one thing, and having the facts in front of you is another.

He knew the laws of the Qian Yuan Dynasty better than anyone else. How could a precious young lady like Yue Li not have her own household registration?

However, seeing that Yue Li had no intention of speaking, Jin Chenyuan did not press for the reason.

I suppose he'll know once Qingyun returns from investigating that Madam Yuan.

"I'll have someone take care of your household registration in a bit. Hmm, I'll go myself. It's best if as few people as possible know about this. As for your household registration in Qingshan Village..."

“The household registration is right there; you never know when you might need it,” Yue Li said directly.

Having an extra household registration makes things easier; she might need it sometime.

“Okay, but Li Bao has to give me your birth date and time.” Although he didn’t know why Yue Li wanted another man’s household registration, Jin Chenyuan respected her wishes.

"Why? I don't need birth dates and times to register my household registration." She didn't bring her birth dates and times when she registered her household yesterday, and besides, she registered as a man yesterday, so she couldn't produce them anyway!

“Although I know your age, I don’t know your exact date of birth. While you don’t need to write your birth date and time when registering your household registration, you still need to write down the approximate date of your birth,” Jin Chenyuan explained.

"Oh, then bring me paper and pen, I'll write it down now so you can do it."

Upon hearing Yue Li's words, Jin Chenyuan instructed You Yun, who was waiting outside, to fetch paper and pen. After Yue Li finished writing down her birth date and time and the ink dried, Jin Chenyuan wrote down the birth date and time and then put it away.

This birth date and time isn't just for registering a household; it's also needed for him and Yue Li to match their birth dates and times when they get married.

After discussing the household registration issue, Yue Li thought of Le Xiang Ge, which had led to their current situation.

Yue Li pushed away Jin Chenyuan's arm that was around her and said, "I need to go out for a bit."

Upon hearing this, Jin Chenyuan put Yue Li down on the ground and then stood up as well. He asked in confusion, "What is Li Bao going to do? Just tell the servants to take care of it. It's still very hot outside."

Hearing Jin Chenyuan say that, Yue Li rolled her eyes inelegantly. This guy actually knows it's hot!

I held her tightly, and the two of us were close together. Even though there were several bowls of ice in the room, it was still so hot that she was sweating. I even made her drink hot tea!

If you've just had a hot meal, wouldn't drinking hot tea afterwards be unbearably hot?

Looking at Jin Chenyuan who was following her, Yue Li thought: Is this a sign of getting old, afraid that people will catch a cold?

Despite her inner grumbling, Yue Li still said, "I want to investigate how I was given the medicine last night?"

Although she had never been drugged with that kind of drug, she had heard of it. However, she did not expect that the antidote pill in her space could not counteract the effects of the aphrodisiac.

Does that mean aphrodisiacs are not poisons?

Upon hearing that Yue Li was going out because of this matter, Jin Chenyuan immediately stopped her, saying, "If it's to investigate this matter, then Li Bao doesn't need to go. I've already had someone investigate this matter thoroughly."

Seeing Yue Li stop and look at him with a puzzled expression, Jin Chenyuan continued to explain, "After we came back last night, I had someone investigate your Chinese medicine matter, and You Yun reported the results of the investigation this morning."

At this point, Jin Chenyuan paused for a moment, then explained to Yue Li, "Li Bao, you may not know this since it's your first time in the capital, but places like Le Xiang Ge (乐享阁) serve drinks with a small amount of aphrodisiac added. However, that amount isn't enough to have any significant impact on the body; most people would just be more easily aroused after drinking it. You were quite an exception last night, but it's also possible that you've never drunk alcohol before, and the combination of intoxication and the effects of the drug had a greater impact on you."

"what?"

"Is it really just a coincidence? Have you investigated thoroughly?"

Yue Li didn't actually disbelieve Jin Chenyuan's investigation results. After all, if she were to investigate, she didn't know what the results would be. She just didn't expect it to end like this.

"Last night, the young master of Lexiang Pavilion helped investigate this matter, so the investigation results are definitely true." Jin Chenyuan explained while instructing You Yun and Huan Yun, who were standing outside the door, to have someone clear the dishes out of the room.

Then, he led Yue Li into the inner room.

Ice was also placed inside, and it was much cooler than the outer room.

After listening to Jin Chenyuan's words, Yue Li kept thinking about the reasons that caused this incident.

The way she acted last night was definitely not just because of the alcohol and the effects of the medicine that Jin Chenyuan said had no effect on her body.

Thinking back to when she was in the Enjoyment Pavilion, after drinking the first pot of sweet wine, her body started to heat up, and she used her spiritual power to dispel the heat.

Then, after leaving the Enjoyment Pavilion, the heat wave inside her body made her even more out of control, and she had to use her spiritual power to dispel the heat wave.

She also discovered that each time she used her spiritual power to dispel the heat wave in her body, it would temporarily subside, but after a while, the heat wave would surge back up even stronger.

Thinking about her actions on these two occasions, Yue Li wondered: Could it be that the spiritual power in my body triggered the effects of the medicine? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense.

Seeing that Yue Li seemed a little absent-minded, Jin Chenyuan knew that she was still thinking about the reason.

He didn't let Yue Li dwell on the matter any longer, since, in retrospect, he was the one who benefited the most from the whole affair.

After all, if this hadn't happened, he didn't know how long he would have had to wait to be with Yue Li.

Knowing that Yue Li disliked the heat of sitting next to him, Jin Chenyuan took the initiative to sit down next to Yue Li and said, "Last night, after You Yun investigated this matter, this morning, the young master of Lexiang Pavilion brought people with him, carrying the latest jewelry from Kyoto and several jars of the osmanthus wine you drank at Lexiang Pavilion, to the mansion in person. Well, he said it was to apologize. I wasn't in the room when you woke up, so I went to receive the young master of Lexiang Pavilion."

Hearing Jin Chenyuan say this, Yue Li felt a little embarrassed, because she realized that this matter was probably caused by her own spiritual power, and now she had to ask the young master to come and apologize in person.

However, she was also self-aware. If Jin Chenyuan hadn't investigated this matter, how would the young master of Lexiang Pavilion know who she was?

I'm afraid that if I stood in front of them, they wouldn't even bother to acknowledge me.

"But, was there any medicine added to this wine?"

Seeing Yue Li's subconscious reaction, Jin Chenyuan's eyes filled with laughter. He shook his head and said, "Of course not. They're here to apologize, not to make enemies."

If even the wine offered as an apology is spiked with drugs, isn't that blatantly offending people?

It seems that after You Yun investigated the matter last night, the young master of Le Xiang Ge heard something, which is why he came to apologize so early this morning. Well, it's not really an apology, but more like making amends.

After all, many official families in Kyoto, who were well-informed, knew about Yue Li's existence and the fact that he and Yue Li were close. This matter would be known with a little inquiry outside.

As the powerful young master of the Sheng family, Sheng Yifan naturally had many sources of information, so it was not surprising that he knew about this matter.

"It's good that there were no added drugs!" She now has a phobia of the sweet wine she drank last night.

However, thinking back, the sweet wine tasted really good last night.
