If I send you to join the army and marry a woman, will you conquer the Empress?

How come he's back so soon?!

In the boudoir, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Princess Mingyue's beautiful face, which was still flushed, suddenly turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.

Finished!

If Yang Lie were to catch her and Qin Feng lying in the same bed, both with their clothes disheveled, the consequences... she couldn't even imagine!

Qin Feng reacted even faster, turning over and sitting up in a swift and silent motion.

Damn!

I didn't expect this guy to go to the East Palace and come back so quickly!

If he were caught on the spot, even if Yang Lie was no match for him, the crime of defiling a royal princess would be a capital offense that would result in the extermination of his entire family!

Even if Princess Fuyao intervenes at that time, she won't be able to protect herself!

"Princess, you don't want what just happened to become known to the whole world, do you?"

Qin Feng leaned down and whispered in Princess Mingyue's ear.

The warm breath on her earlobe sent a shiver down her spine.

Ding Ding Deng!

Yang Lie's footsteps grew closer and closer until he reached the door!

"You...you'd better hide!"

Princess Mingyue spoke in a fluster.

"Where are you hiding?"

Qin Feng looked around and saw that the luxurious boudoir was completely exposed, with nowhere to hide.

"Get under the covers! Quick! Don't make a sound!"

Princess Mingyue disregarded her shame and used all her strength to push Qin Feng into the quilt.

call!

At the same time, she blew out the candle by the bed, plunging the entire room into darkness.

"Bang!"

Almost at the same time, the door was violently pushed open with tremendous force!

Yang Lie, exuding a chilling aura, strode in.

"Princess! I—"

"presumptuous!"

In the darkness, a clear, cold, and authoritative voice suddenly rang out.

Princess Mingyue forcibly suppressed the turmoil in her heart and resumed her haughty queenly demeanor.

"Yang Lie, who gave you the audacity to trespass into this princess's boudoir in the dead of night? Don't you know any manners?!"

The arrogant and domineering Little Tyrant, who had been swaggering around outside, instantly lost his arrogance upon hearing this rebuke.

He immediately bowed and greeted them, his attitude extremely humble.

"Princess, please calm down! I was too hasty!"

"It was just an emergency, and I was worried about you, so I... By the way, where is Qin Feng?"

As Yang Lie spoke, he scanned the room using the dim light filtering in from outside the door.

No one is empty.

On the soft couch, Princess Mingyue's heart was pounding in her throat.

She could clearly feel the man's strong body beneath her and his aggressive aura.

The two were pressed tightly together, their posture extremely ambiguous.

"Don't even mention it!"

Princess Mingyue took a deep breath and said in a somewhat annoyed tone, "Your 'Immortal's Intoxication' is completely useless!"

"What?"

Yang Lie was taken aback.

"That kid woke up on his own not long after drinking it!"

Princess Mingyue continued to fabricate lies: "When I saw that he was awake, I was afraid that he would go crazy, so I could only calm him down first, and then find an excuse to send him away."

"They're gone?!"

Yang Lie raised his voice, his expression full of disbelief: "How is that possible! Even an elephant can be drugged by the Divine Intoxication Pill, how could he wake up so quickly?"

"How should I know!"

Princess Mingyue interrupted impatiently, "Perhaps it's due to his special constitution! In any case, the plan has failed!"

She immediately changed the subject, coldly asking, "Didn't you go to the Eastern Palace? How is His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Upon hearing the mention of the Crown Prince, Yang Lie's attention was indeed drawn to him.

He slammed his fist on the table in anger, gritting his teeth as he said, "I went to see him! His Highness was stabbed, but fortunately, he avoided a fatal wound and is not in mortal danger. The imperial physician has already bandaged him up."

"Where is the assassin?" Princess Mingyue asked again.

They escaped!

Yang Lie said bitterly, "But the assassin was also seriously injured, so he shouldn't have gone far! The Imperial Guards have already sealed off the entire city and are searching house to house; not even a fly will be able to get out!"

He added, "The guards at the Eastern Palace said there was only one assassin, slender in figure, and it seemed... to be a woman."

……

at the same time.

Beneath the snow-white fox fur quilt, there was warmth.

Qin Feng lay motionless, pressed tightly against Princess Mingyue.

He could clearly feel her heart pounding with nervousness.

The unique fragrance emanating from her body lingered around my nose, which was even more intoxicating.

But Qin Feng's mind was not on that at all.

Female assassin?

Not long ago, Princess Fuyao was assassinated outside the city by a group of killers.

Now, Crown Prince Xia Yuanhao has been assassinated in the Eastern Palace.

It seems that things are really not peaceful in the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty lately.

Who is stirring up trouble behind the scenes?

"Hmph, a bunch of useless trash! They even let assassins succeed in the Eastern Palace!"

Princess Mingyue snorted coldly, venting her tension.

"Your Highness is right. Hmm? What does it taste like?"

He sniffed. "Why does this room have a... strange smell?"

not good!

Princess Mingyue's heart leaped into her throat, and her pretty face, hidden in the darkness, turned a burning red!

Of course she knew what that tasted like!

"These are spices from the Western Regions that I, the princess, ordered. They have the scent of photinia flowers and are said to have calming and sleep-inducing effects."

She forced herself to remain calm and explained, "What, do you even care what spices I use?"

"No, no!"

Yang Lie quickly waved his hand. Although he felt that the taste was not right, he did not dare to ask any more questions.

"Alright, since His Highness the Crown Prince is alright, you don't need to stay here anymore."

Princess Mingyue dismissed the guests, saying, "I am tired and need to rest. You may leave."

"Yes, Princess, I'll be going now."

Yang Lie dared not disobey, so he responded and turned to leave.

call……

Princess Mingyue and Qin Feng, who was in bed, both breathed a sigh of relief almost simultaneously.

Finally, we got rid of that green guy...!

However, Yang Lie had just reached the door when he suddenly stopped.

He turned around abruptly, his gaze falling on the large, soft couch.

In the darkness, although he couldn't see very clearly, the unnatural bulge in the middle of the blanket still aroused his suspicion.

"etc!"

Yang Lie questioned, "Princess, your blankets are bulging... what are you hiding there?"
