I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

But before she could even get out of bed completely, seeing Qin Li sitting on a stool by the bed, hugging his knees and sleeping, Madam Wei suddenly felt a pang of pity.

Upon seeing Qin Li, Lady Wei felt as if she were seeing her own daughter.

Once she fell ill and nothing seemed to help.

Wei Hongying stayed by the bedside the whole time, and that's how she slept every night.

He couldn't help but reach out and pat Qin Li's head.

A motherly smile appeared on Lady Wei's face.

But when she realized what she was doing, she quickly withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.

This is Crown Prince Qin Li, not her daughter Wei Hongying. Qin Li doesn't need this woman's pity.

Thinking of this, Madam Wei clenched her fist resentfully in front of Qin Li and got up to leave.

Just as she reached the door, the whistling wind caught Madam Wei's attention.

One of the windows in the room wasn't closed properly, and the cold night wind was howling in, preventing the bed curtains from coming down.

The maid must have left the window open before she left.

Those two maids were quite skilled in martial arts; they could even defeat her when they joined forces. However, they were careless and clumsy.

If this continues, Qin Li will definitely catch a cold.

Not to mention that Qin Li drank alcohol tonight, so the situation will only get worse.

Thinking of this, Madam Wei went over and closed the window, as if she didn't want her daughter to worry.

After closing the windows, she checked each one to make sure they wouldn't be blown open by the wind before clapping her hands and preparing to leave.

"Mother, I miss you so much~"

Suddenly, Lady Wei stopped in her tracks and looked back in disbelief.

mother?

Qin Li's mother.

As far as she knew, Qin Li's mother was the late Empress, who died young, and Qin Li lost his mother when he was very young.

Emperor Xuan neither loved him nor respected him, so Qin Li never felt the warmth of a family growing up.

To be honest, Qin Li, who appears to be incredibly successful on the outside, is also a pitiful person without a mother.

"Sigh~"

With a soft sigh, Madam Wei hesitated for a long time before finally withdrawing her hand from opening the door and turning back.

Sitting quietly by the bed, Madam Wei tilted her head and looked at him carefully. Only after confirming that Qin Li was not faking it did she feel relieved.

"Mother, are you doing well in heaven?"

Lady Wei, as if possessed, replied, "Okay~"

"No one is bullying Mother. Li'er is already the Crown Prince. I'm not afraid of anyone."

Lady Wei thought for a moment, suppressed a laugh, and tried to say, "No one is bullying Mother. As long as Li'er doesn't bully others, Mother can rest assured."

"it is good."

They fell silent and didn't speak for a long time.

Lady Wei suddenly felt like she was worthless.

How could she, as the late empress, deceive Qin Li's feelings?

If Qin Li wakes up tomorrow, he'll definitely cause her trouble.

Just as she was thinking about these things, Qin Li suddenly moved. Before she could react, Qin Li suddenly reached out and hugged her waist.

Madam Wei was startled and almost stood up, but she forced herself to remain still for fear of waking Qin Li.

With Qin Li holding her waist, Madam Wei, sitting on the edge of the bed, didn't dare to even breathe loudly.

She stretched out her finger and checked Qin Li's breath. It was even and long, clearly indicating that he wasn't pretending to be asleep, which put Lady Wei at ease.

After all, Qin Li is capable of anything, and it's not impossible that he would take advantage of her, a woman.

"Mother, I miss you so much."

"Yes, Mother misses you too."

"Mother, are you doing well in heaven?"

"it is good."

"Li'er is already the Crown Prince, isn't he amazing?"

"Amazing, my Li'er is the best!"

"Mother, Li'er is so lonely..."

Upon hearing this, Madam Wei was at a loss for words.

Qin Li is lonely? You're kidding me.

All he does all day is scheme against others and fight for power. Does Qin Li even have time to be alone?

"Mother, hold Li'er tight."

Instinctively, Madam Wei reached out and hugged Qin Li tightly.

creak~

Just then, the door suddenly opened a crack.

A furtive head poked its way in; it was Zhou Biao.

By the moonlight, Zhou Biao could see the scene inside the room. Madam Wei was sitting on the edge of the bed, and Qin Li was sitting on a stool, with his arms around Madam Wei's waist. Madam Wei was hugging Qin Li, and this lackey of the villain rubbed his eyes hard, hardly believing what he was seeing.

It's a hallucination, it must be a hallucination!

"Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to do anything to your prince. He was holding me while he was sleeping," Madam Wei hurriedly explained.

Zhou Biao smiled and said, "I understand."

What are you doing here?

"Madam Wei asked."

"Oh, it's almost dawn. Last night, His Highness asked me to wake him at this time. It's time to set off for Jiangnan."

Lady Wei glanced at the sky outside, then at Qin Li, who was sleeping soundly in her arms, and couldn't bear it. "Let's wait a while."

"Yes."

After responding, Zhou Biao slowly withdrew and closed the door again.

However, not long after, many figures appeared outside the window.

There were both men and women there, all waiting for Qin Li to wake up so they could go to Jiangnan together.

Looking down at Qin Li, Madam Wei couldn't help but reach out and gently pat his head.

If her sons hadn't died in battle at the border, they would still be alive.

He should be sleeping soundly in her arms, just like that.

Thinking of this, Madam Wei hugged the man in her arms even tighter, a satisfied and gratified expression on her face.

……

The next day.

The creaking of wheels and the shouts of street vendors woke Qin Li.

Qin Li sat up abruptly, his temples throbbing.

He found himself, without realizing it, inside a carriage.

Peeking out from behind the carriage curtain, I saw the carriage was leaving the city.

The city gates of the capital behind us are getting farther and farther away.

Qin Li rubbed his temples and left, his head aching.

I should have known better than to drink so much last night.

Although I wasn't drunk, I felt really unwell.

Qin Li noticed this when he reached up to rub his temples.

He wasn't the only one in the carriage; Chun Tao, Xia Liu, and Lady Wei were also there.

Chuntao and Xialiu sat together, covering their mouths and chuckling, unaware of what had happened.

Lady Wei sat opposite them, her head bowed as she straightened her disheveled clothes, a blush still lingering on her face.

"Madam, what are you doing here?"

Qin Li frowned, puzzled.

He's going to take people to Jiangnan, what is Lady Wei doing here?

Did I use some kind of force last night to coerce her into agreeing to go to Jiangnan with me?

"What's it to you!"

He had held her all the way to sleep, and when she woke up, he spoke to her like this, turning his back on her. Madam Wei didn't give Qin Li a kind look at all.

"What are you laughing at?"

Qin Li looked at Chun Tao and Xia Liu.

Xia Liu tugged at Chun Tao, telling her to stop laughing, before saying:

"Your Highness, please forgive me. You were sleeping so soundly that you didn't even know you had left the city."

Qin Li rubbed his temples hard, but he couldn't remember anything.

It must be said, the wine in the palace was really strong.

Qin Li has made a mistake related to alcohol more than once.

Both times, he was slept with by the Empress because of alcohol.

This time, my mind went completely blank, and I couldn't remember anything.
