After giving her contraceptives, she went mad, criticizing the prince for turning white-haired overn

"I didn't trick the prince."

Xie Linyuan only released her after she was kissed until she was breathless.

The carriage arrived at the Regent's Palace, and Mo Yu's voice could be heard from outside.

"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Prince's residence."

Xie Linyuan took off his cloak, draped it over Shen Ning, and carried her directly into the Regent's Palace.

Seeing the lust in the man's eyes, Shen Ning struggled a few times in his arms.

She knew from her past life that Xie Linyuan was extremely fierce in bed.

Although she had been intimate with him in this life, she had no intention of consummating their marriage again.

"Your Highness, I have something to tell you."

The girl's fair arms were tightly wrapped around the man's neck.

She struggled, trying to get out of his arms.

Xie Linyuan strode open the door to the side room and placed the person on the soft couch.

He leaned down, placing his hands on either side of her, his deep eyes fixed on her.

"Why the rush?"

"Who was it that just now said they weren't afraid of anything, that they were willing to jump into the abyss?"

"So soon, you're already scared?"

"Shen Ning." The man leaned down and slowly approached her.

Those cool lips landed on her earlobe, their warm breath filling her ear.

"If you want to jump into the abyss, you must have the courage to do so."

After the man finished speaking, he opened his lips and kissed her reddened earlobe.

His breath came in disarray, and he kissed and bit his way down the girl's fair neck.

Shen Ning closed her eyes tightly, feeling a tingling sensation all over her body.

Goosebumps rose on my skin, and my hands unconsciously gripped the quilt beneath me.

"Your Highness...no."

The man was breathing rapidly, as if he were possessed.

She tried to push him, but Xie Linyuan was too tall.

He simply let her kiss him while gently lifting her clothes with his hands.

Despite his disordered breathing, Xie Linyuan still retained a sliver of reason.

He looked down and saw the little girl with her eyes tightly closed, biting her lip, looking tense as if she were facing death.

He chuckled softly: "What are you doing?"

Shen Ning opened her eyes and saw Xie Linyuan looking at her with a wicked expression.

"I thought..."

Xie Linyuan smiled and said, "I only wanted you to change your clothes, but you thought I wanted to..."

As he spoke, he hooked his fingertips around her loosened collar.

"Your clothes are all wet. Are you going back to the Shen family's house like this because you think you'll catch a cold?"

Then, he threw a clean piece of clothing at her.

"Put it on."

The man turned to leave, but Shen Ning grabbed his sleeve tightly.

"Your Highness."

Xie Linyuan raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"

Shen Ning bit her lip. "I...I want to borrow something from the Prince."

"What is it?" he asked.

"Langya Order"

Upon hearing this, Xie Linyuan let out a cold laugh.

"You've been exposed so quickly?"

"I thought you were really willing to climb into my bed."

Do you know what the Langya Order is?

"Of course I know," Shen Ning said calmly.

"I will only need two days, and I will definitely return it to Your Highness after two days."

"What do you intend to do with the Langya Token?"

"I have my own purpose," Shen Ning said calmly.

"Your Highness's Langya Token can mobilize the palace's secret agents. I want something from the palace."

"This is a very special item, and I'm afraid I can't tell Your Highness about it for the time being."

Xie Linyuan raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze falling on the little girl's face.

Could it be that she wants to drag the Ming King down with her?

"If you want my Langya Token, then it's up to you."

"If you satisfy me tonight, perhaps I can give it to you."

satisfaction?

Shen Ning frowned.

What did Xie Linyuan mean by that?

"Come, help me change my clothes."

After the man finished speaking coldly, he reached out and waited for the person to change their clothes.

Shen Ning got up from the edge of the bed.

She gently pursed her lips, carefully reached out and wrapped her arms around the man's lean waist, and unbuckled his belt.

Just as I was about to take off his outer robe, I touched something.

It looks like a token.

He bit his lip, about to tear the token off, when Xie Linyuan grabbed his wrist.

"You're not being honest."

Shen Ning looked up and met Xie Linyuan's deep eyes.

She steeled herself, clenched her fists tightly, and held the token firmly in her hand.

"Your Highness, I will definitely return it to you in two days."

Xie Linyuan's expression was complicated.

However, he was curious to see what Shen Ning intended to do with the Langya Token.

"If you do not return it within two days, I will not show you any mercy."

Shen Ning nodded quickly: "Thank you, Your Highness."

As the two were talking, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

Mo Yu's voice came through.

"Your Highness."

Xie Linyuan frowned, quickly fastened his belt, and glanced at Shen Ning.

"After changing my clothes, I returned to the Shen family."

"Don't lose the Langya Token."

He finished speaking coldly and strode out of the room.

After Shen Ning changed her clothes, she was escorted out of the Regent's Palace by a maid.

Her affair with Xie Linyuan will probably have to be kept secret.

If the Shen family were to marry the Regent, the tragedy of their past life would be repeated.

His Majesty has begun to fear Father.

So in this life, she and Xie Linyuan...

Xie Linyuan will definitely not marry her again.

With the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet approaching, she must use this Langya Token to do something important.

Otherwise, who knows how many troubles would arise at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.

The Empress Dowager held Prince Ming, her son who had saved her life, in high regard.

Any woman that the Ming King took a fancy to could be granted marriage by the Empress Dowager or the Emperor with just a word.

Whether a woman who enters the Prince Ming's mansion can survive for more than a month is unknown.

When a person dies, the living can always find countless excuses.

In this life, perhaps we will have to use Princess Zhaoyuan as a pawn to deal with King Ming.

-

Inside the Yongning Marquis's residence, the lights were on full display.

Su Mingfeng stood in the hall, his gaze fixed firmly on the Marquis of Yongning and his wife seated on the high throne.

"If Mother is unwilling to go to the Shen family to propose marriage, then I will go myself."

"I will make my own decisions about my marriage."

Lady Min, the wife of the Marquis of Yongning, was so angry that her face turned red, and she slammed her hand on the armrest of the chair.

"absurd!"

"Since ancient times, marriage has been a major event, decided by parents and arranged by matchmakers. How can you treat it like a child's play!"

"Do you think Shen Ning, the second daughter of the Shen family, would willingly marry you?"

"She's been favored by Prince Chen, yet she's entangled with other men. How could you be so foolish?"

Su Mingfeng said coldly, "Mother is just prejudiced against the Shen family's daughter."

"No matter what, I'm determined to marry her."

Madam Min angrily retorted, "Those two girls from the Shen family are nothing more than pretty girls!"

"Why did you choose to marry into the Shen family when there are so many beautiful young ladies in Yanjing?"

Su Mingfeng stood in front of the hall, his eyes firm and unwavering.

"No reason."

If it weren't for the Shen family's daughter, he would have died in Fuzhou long ago.

From as far back as he could remember, he was kept in an iron cage in Fuzhou, living like a dog.

They ate leftovers and swill every day, and sometimes went without a drop of water for several days in a row, clinging to life by sheer willpower.

At that time, he was only a few years old, but he desperately wanted to live.

No matter how much he begged those people, he could not soften the hearts of the human traffickers.

Just when he thought he would starve to death in the iron cage.

On a bright, sunny morning, a chubby little girl, holding a steaming hot bun, secretly came up to him.

"Big brother, why are you locked up here?"

Are you very hungry?

"I'll share some with you."

The little girl, with her big, dark eyes, broke open a steamed bun and carefully passed it through the gap in the iron bars, feeding it to him bite by bite.

Then I found some clean water and fed it to him little by little.

Later, she came every day, and each time she would hide the steaming hot buns in her clothes.

Every time they come, they risk their lives.

For half a month straight, without interruption.

He asked her name.

She said, "I am the daughter of the General Who Protects the Nation, and the legitimate daughter of the eldest branch of the Shen family."

"My home is in Yanjing, and I will be going back tomorrow."

"If fate allows, we'll meet again in Yanjing in the future."

"Big brother, I will find a way to get the government officials to come and rescue you."

After the little girl stuffed the steaming hot bun into his hand for the last time, she never appeared in front of him again.

He was six years old that year, and had been locked in an iron cage for three whole years.

Five days after the Shen family girl left, the Marquis of Yongning found him with government officials.

After being brought back to Yanjing, he became the heir of the Marquis's mansion, the young Marquis of the Su family.

The old lady doted on him and spoiled him rotten.

The entire household doted on him as if he were a precious treasure.

Later, he followed the Marquis of Yongning to the frontier for training. Over the years, the three years he was imprisoned gradually faded from memory.

But he could never forget the little girl who secretly fed him steaming hot buns.

"If mother insists on refusing, I will go to the Shen family to hire me."

As Su Mingfeng spoke, he turned to walk out.

Such an unruly and stubborn nature made the Marquis of Yongning sigh.

"stop!"

"Why are you so stubborn, child?"

"That Miss Shen, did she perhaps save your life?"

Su Mingfeng stopped in his tracks.

"Yes, she saved her son's life."

"Therefore, my son will marry no one but her."

Marquis Yongning: "You want to marry her, but does she want to marry you?"

"She is now the Regent's woman."
