Chapter 196 Yinyin, don't hide.
"Yinyin, don't hide."
Pei Yuanling gently stroked her cheek, his fingertips caressing her delicate skin, causing a slight tickle.
Dressed in men's clothing, Chu Qingyin lowered her head shyly. Listening to the deep, gentle voice of the man in front of her, she felt her body growing hotter and hotter. The small carriage space was filled with a tender atmosphere.
Chu Qingyin tilted her head slightly, her eyes misty, and gasped, "Your Majesty..."
She reached out and gently traced Pei Yuanling's eyebrows and eyes, as if trying to etch his image into her heart.
Pei Yuanling took her hand and placed it on his heart.
"Yinyin, I have no other desires now, I only wish for you to be with me every day."
After saying that, he leaned forward slightly, his warm breath brushing against Chu Qingyin's ear, "From now on, you are not allowed to leave me."
Chu Qingyin's cheeks grew increasingly hot. She nodded gently, leaned closer, and placed a kiss on Pei Yuanling's lips.
Almost instantly, Pei Yuanling pulled her into a tight embrace and deepened the kiss, as if he wanted to pour all his love into it.
Outside the carriage, the night was deep.
Occasionally, the sound of the night watchman's gong could be heard, masking the erotic atmosphere in the room.
After a long while, Pei Yuanling released Chu Qingyin, looked at her slightly panting appearance, and chuckled: "I told you, Yinyin looks good in any clothes."
Of course, it looks good even without wearing anything right now.
Chu Qingyin had never experienced anything so absurd and daring.
Her bright cheeks were flushed and glistening with sweat. She buried her face in Pei Yuanling's chest, as if trying to hide her shyness.
Pei Yuanling gently stroked her hair, the tender touch flowing down her hair and warming the last trace of unease in Chu Qingyin's heart.
The carriage moved slowly forward, the sound of its wheels rolling clearly audible in the quiet night.
Chu Qingyin suddenly remembered something and looked up: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly decide to bring me to see my brother?"
The man did not answer directly. He gently stroked Chu Qingyin's cheek with his long fingers for a while before saying indifferently, "I have reopened the investigation into General Chu's treason. It won't be long before the truth comes out, and then you two siblings can be reunited."
"really?"
"Naturally true."
Pei Yuanling gazed into her eyes: "Your brother has made many contributions to the court, and I will never allow him to suffer unjustly."
Chu Qingyin thought to herself, "That would be for the best."
She put on a shy and flattered expression and placed a kiss on the man's deep brow bone.
Before they knew it, the carriage had entered the palace.
As night deepened, the two returned to Feixue Palace. The moon was setting in the west, and all was quiet.
After washing up, the two lay down on the bed in each other's arms.
Despite being exhausted after a night of tossing and turning, Chu Qingyin was unusually clear-headed. She kept pestering the man to confirm that her brother would soon be able to overturn the case.
Pei Yuanling wasn't annoyed at all; on the contrary, he found her behavior particularly charming and cute.
"Once the Chu family's case is overturned, can the people of the Duke's Mansion return to the capital and restore the Duke's Mansion to its former glory?" Chu Qingyin nestled in his arms and asked expectantly.
Pei Yuanling gave a very soft "hmm," as if it were a murmur.
"From now on, Yinyin, live a good life with me and don't dwell on what happened in the past."
He turned over and pulled the person into his arms, unaware that the person in his arms had suddenly stiffened.
In the dimly lit curtains, a barely perceptible hint of coldness flashed in Chu Qingyin's eyes.
So, the reason I'm taking her to see my brother tonight is because of the Empress's serious illness?
He believed that Empress Wang's nightmares and illness were caused by her behind the scenes.
Chu Qingyin fell silent and did not speak again.
When she heard steady, even breathing beside her, she gently pushed the sleeping man away and sat up.
The bright moonlight shone through the window and fell on her face. Chu Qingyin's lips curled up slightly, and she felt that everything that had happened tonight was particularly ridiculous.
Could it be that the suffering I endured, and the loss of my life, could be so easily made up for in his eyes?
She turned to look at the man sleeping soundly on the bed, her lips pressed tightly together.
Ultimately, in his heart, power was still more important.
In that case, why can't she find her enemy herself?
Chu Qingyin quietly got up, put on an outer robe, and tiptoed out of the bedroom.
The evening breeze from outside the palace swept over her, and she shivered, but the chill in her heart only intensified.
Under the moonlight, she followed the familiar path and unknowingly walked into the courtyard.
The garden was deathly silent, except for the sound of her footsteps echoing on the stone path.
"Power is indeed more important than anything else."
Chu Qingyin murmured softly, her voice full of self-mockery.
She once thought Pei Yuanling truly loved her, but now it seems it was all just a power struggle.
Back then, my brother held a large army and the Duke of Chu's mansion was in power, but suddenly everything was cut off by a fabricated charge. Even though my brother can now clear his name, the Duke of Chu's mansion can never return to its former glory.
My brother suffered so much in prison that his spirit as a great general was worn down. How could he ever become the spirited man he once was again?
Not to mention myself, who has already died once.
Fortunately, Pei Yuanling's favor is no longer important to her now. The most important thing is to make the culprits who caused all this pay for it!
As dawn broke, the morning light pierced through the thin clouds, casting a soft golden hue over the entire palace. However, this warm light failed to dispel the chill that clung to Chu Qingyin.
She stood in the courtyard, gazing at the gradually brightening sky.
"Your Majesty, the morning dew is heavy. You should go back to your room and rest early."
Xianglan stood guard over her mistress all night. She rubbed her tired eyes, her eyes full of concern.
"I will drink the medicine first, and then I will rest," Chu Qingyin said.
Wait a little longer, and Pei Yuanling will be going to the morning court.
Upon hearing this, Xianglan hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "Your Majesty, His Majesty has ordered that no more contraceptive medicine be prepared for you."
"What do you mean?"
Chu Qingyin frowned slightly, her expression cold: "When did he give the order?"
"His Majesty gave the order before taking the Empress out of the palace: she is not allowed to take any more medicine."
"absurd!"
Chu Qingyin's expression changed drastically. How could he make this decision without consulting her?
She said coldly, "Go and brew medicine for me. His Majesty cannot stand idly by!"
"Let's see who dares!"
Just then, Pei Yuanling's voice rang out from behind her, "I'd like to see who dares to send contraceptive potion to Feixue Palace with my decree!"
Chu Qingyin suddenly turned around and met Pei Yuanling's gaze directly.
The anger and questioning in those eyes made Pei Yuanling pause.
"What does Your Majesty mean by this?" Chu Qingyin's voice was icy cold.
Pei Yuanling stepped forward and tried to take her hand, but Chu Qingyin dodged to the side.
"Yinyin, listen to me."
The man softened his tone, "That medicine is not good for your health. I'm only stopping you from drinking it because I care about you."
