The wicked imperial concubine is courting death again; the comments section teaches her how to win w

Qi Yitang: "?"

Just hearing this, someone who didn't know better might think there was a chaste and virtuous man lying inside.

It sounded so strange coming from her fourth brother, who spent his days in brothels and was a dissolute playboy.

"Shh—" Qi Yitang lowered her voice and pulled Xie Ling closer to the window. "Let's keep our voices down."

Xie Ling sighed silently. Who was it that said they weren't interested in joining in the fun and wanted to go back to the palace? They ran faster than rabbits at the first sign of gossip.

Qi Yitang poked a small hole in the window paper and stuck it on to look.

Inside, Fourth Brother was leaning against the bed, his hair loose, the ends still damp and clinging to his shoulders. His white undergarment was slightly open, revealing a delicate and beautiful figure rarely seen on ordinary days.

Chi Zheng stood by the bed and explained, "Fourth Young Master, I changed your clothes with my eyes closed just now, so I didn't see your... body."

Qi Jiyun sneered, "What about underwater? Didn't you steal a kiss from me?"

Wow, that's explosive!

【Sister Chi, you really are something! Next time, you can't just sneak a kiss, at least let us see!】

[Lust is a double-edged sword; how could you fall for it, Sister Chi!]

Qi Yitang's eyes widened. In such a tense moment, the two of them had secretly kissed right under her nose?

Is this really necessary?!

Although Chi Zheng was physically strong, she had a delicate face and her ears were flushed with an eerie red. "...That's transferring energy."

"Fourth Young Master, I just don't want to see you drown in the water."

"I don't care." Qi Jiyun pulled the blanket up over her head. "I've never kissed anyone else. You have to take responsibility for me!"

"Otherwise, I'll go to my queen sister for support and ask her to give you to me. After all, you took my virginity, and you brought this on yourself."

Chi Zheng pursed her lips. "Fourth Young Master, please don't make things difficult for your subordinate."

Qi Jiyun pressed on, "Are you bothered by my past scumbag reputation? To tell you the truth, I only went to brothels to chat and relieve boredom; I've never done anything else. I don't have any concubines or maids at home, and I'm still a genuine virgin."

Chi Zheng shook her head.

She was just a bodyguard; what right did she have to look down on her master?

This is what they mean by "don't constantly talk about your difficulties, but you can often say you're a virgin."

Of course a virgin can say so; otherwise, why would he want to flaunt his rotten crotch everywhere?

Qi Yitang wholeheartedly agreed.

Although Fourth Brother loves to play around, he has always had principles and a bottom line. Otherwise, even if it were her own brother, she wouldn't push a good girl into a pit of fire.

Qi Jiyun frowned. "Then what are you dissatisfied with about me? Is it because I'm ugly and not presentable?"

Qi Yitang is exceptionally beautiful, and the Qi family couple is a well-known model couple with high looks in Shengjing. How could Qi Jiyun be any less attractive?

If it weren't for his terrible reputation in the past, matchmakers would have worn out the Qi family's doorstep long ago.

Chi Zheng shook her head again.

"Is it because you think I lack fame and fortune?" Qi Jiyun said. "That's no problem. Next March, I will definitely bring back the top scholar in the imperial examination. Then I will welcome you back in great style as the top scholar's wife."

The wife of the top scholar?

Chi Zheng's fingers curled slightly.

In fact, she had no doubt that Qi Jiyun would keep his word.

She followed Qi Jiyun for several months, watching other students in the academy study late into the night, while the fourth young master was lazy and undisciplined, yet his studies were still the best, and the teachers praised him in unison.

Although he doesn't like studying, he is genuinely gifted, and it's not impossible for him to become the top scholar in the imperial examination.

Can……

He was the Empress's maternal brother, a handsome young man who had countless admirers in his youth.

If she were to become the top scholar in the imperial examination, she might be chosen as a husband right after the list is published. How could she, a rough girl who came from a secret guard background, possibly have a chance?

Chi Zheng lowered her eyes and said in a muffled voice, "Fourth Young Master, please don't joke around with your subordinates."

She took his heartfelt words as a joke?!

Qi Jiyun felt a pain in his chest, most likely from anger.

Despite his vast knowledge and cunning, he was helpless against such a blockhead.

Chi Zheng said, "Fourth Young Master, please rest well. I need to go back to protect the Empress and shouldn't linger any longer."

Since it's not convincing, then let's not talk about it anymore!

The moment she turned around, Qi Jiyun suddenly reached out, grabbed her wrist, and pulled hard. Chi Zheng was caught off guard and stumbled as he pulled her.

They both fell onto the bed.

Qi Jiyun pinned Chi Zheng down, forced her fingers to intertwine with his, and kissed her fiercely.

Chi Zheng's eyes suddenly widened.

She was usually incredibly strong, capable of easily flipping an adult man over, but now she seemed to be frozen in place, not making a sound.

I don't know if it's because I can't push it away, or... I can't bear to part with it.

Outside the window, Qi Yitang was still worried about her fourth brother's dawdling. Is the purpose of a person having a mouth just to speak?

They clearly had feelings for each other, so they just went straight for a kiss!

The next second, their words came true, and they actually kissed!

No wonder her fourth brother, who came from the same stinky ditch, has such amazing sibling chemistry.

Qi Yitang was so excited she almost cried out. After realizing what was happening, she started pinching her thighs frantically, and then she was surprised to find that she couldn't feel any pain at all when she was so excited.

Xie Ling silently lowered her head, "..."

Of course it doesn't hurt, because the wife wasn't pinching herself at all.

[The female supporting character doesn't take any chances either; she naturally pinches the villain's thigh. Does she do this often? It's become a habit.]

[Master, you've spotted the yellow dot.]

Was this episode a bit cryptic?

Qi Yitang came to her senses and realized that she had just pinched Xie Ling, which explained why it didn't hurt.

"Are you alright?" She quickly let go and asked in a low voice. She was about to lift his clothes to check if he had pinched her bruises, but then realized it was inappropriate and pulled back.

But the subtle rustling of the fabric just now had already been noticed by the people inside.

"Who?!"

Chi Zheng shoved Qi Jiyun aside and rushed out the door, then—

He then made eye contact with the Emperor and Empress, who were lurking suspiciously outside the door.

Chizheng: "..."

Qi Yitang & Xie Ling: "..."

A gust of wind blew in from under the eaves, making the hems of the three people's clothes rustle. No one spoke, and an unspeakable awkwardness filled the air.

What are you standing there for? Say your lines!

"Yanzhi and I got lost, no, well..." Qi Yitang coughed lightly, "We just wanted to check if Fourth Brother was awake. Did we disturb you?"

A rare crack appeared on Chi Zheng's usually cold and hard face.

She was in the room with the Fourth Young Master just now... when His Majesty and the Empress caught them red-handed!

Having lived for so many years, this was the first time Chi Zheng felt her head buzzing and completely shut down.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die! I beg you to punish me!"

"You didn't kiss her, so why are you begging for punishment?" Qi Jiyun strolled out slowly from inside, his lips red, indicating that the kiss had been intense.

Compared to Chi Zheng's panic, this guy seemed a hundred times more composed, even exuding a kind of nonchalant "it doesn't matter if I get caught" attitude.

He leaned against the doorframe. "You think you can get enough of a show from outside? Why don't you come in?"

Qi Yitang's eyes lit up. "Is that okay?"

Qi Jiyun sneered, "No."
