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

Qi Yitang did cry.

It wasn't because I was moved by anything from the past, but because I was *crying*.

Two years after entering the palace, she and Xie Ling never consummated their marriage due to her resistance and lack of cooperation.

Or rather, the marriage did not end successfully.

Last year, on Xie Ling's birthday, he hosted a banquet for his ministers. Perhaps stung by the harmonious scene of his friend's wife and children, he got drunk and was sent to Yaotang Palace by Li Degui in a daze.

Almost...

But at the crucial moment, he was slapped hard by Qi Yitang, which sobered him up.

She held a hairpin to her throat and cried that she would die if he touched her.

As a concubine, she was unwilling to serve the emperor and even threatened to commit suicide. This was considered a great act of treason and could be considered a crime against her maternal family.

Xie Ling did not lash out, but suppressed his anger and stormed off.

Last time was their first time, but the aphrodisiac wine was too potent, and Qi Yitang was completely unaware of her own presence throughout the entire process.

This time, while fully conscious, all sensory experiences were amplified countless times.

Qi Yitang cried.

Before entering the palace, her mother only showed her erotic pictures, which were dry and uninformed, and didn't tell her how...exciting it was.

At the same time, Qi Yitang also hated Xie Jingyu to death.

Why throw junk at her for no reason? He's the one who started this trouble, yet she has to bear the consequences.

Xie Ling had tried her best to control the anger born of jealousy in her heart, but she was still fiercer and more forceful than usual.

The candles were lit, illuminating the enchanting room and allowing Xie Ling to clearly see her every reaction.

Qi Yitang was delicate and frail, with fair and porcelain-like skin that had a faint pink tinge, like a begonia carefully watered by dew.

Knowing that only she could see her like this, Xie Ling's last bit of anger dissipated.

That's not enough, far from enough.

Xie Ling's gaze involuntarily fell on Qi Yitang's flat stomach, and a thought suddenly popped into her mind—it would be nice to have a child.

Even if Tangtang regrets it, having a child means they will be inseparable for life.

Xie Ling admitted that using children to bind mothers was a despicable tactic, but he couldn't control himself; he was never a saint.

If one is not ruthless, how can one sit in this position by stepping on the corpses of so many brothers?

But in an instant, what the imperial physician had said came to mind again…

Xie Ling's eyes dimmed slightly, and she rejected the idea. Even without a child, she wouldn't leave him for a moment.

"Yanzhi, is it alright to stop here for today...?"

Qi Yitang was unaware that he had already brainstormed about having offspring; all she knew was that she didn't want to continue and wanted to sleep.

"I'm so tired, so sleepy..."

Xie Ling picked up Qi Yitang and let her lie on him, patting her gently like he was coaxing a child, "Tangtang, go to sleep, I'll take care of you."

Qi Yitang was speechless and choked with emotion: "..." How could anyone sleep like this?

Later, Qi Yitang fell asleep.

In her hazy state of consciousness, she felt herself being picked up and placed in warm water. Later, she felt a cool sensation coming from the slightly swollen and painful areas.

He must have helped me wash and apply medicine.

But by then, Qi Yitang had already fallen into a deep sleep.

……

The next morning, Yunzhu came to wake Qi Yitang up.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?"

In the past, Qi Yitang would always sleep until noon in the palace because the Empress Dowager disliked her, so Qi Yitang simply stopped paying her respects and didn't bother to be polite.

But she had limited time at home, so she told Yunzhu to wake her up early.

Yunzhu put down the washbasin, walked to the bedside, and lifted the curtain. Just as she was about to wake the person, her pupils suddenly contracted—

"!"

There was no way around it, because Qi Yitang's exposed arms and collarbone were covered with ambiguous bruises.

[Good heavens, this emperor is truly a dog! Did he really bite the female supporting character all over?]

[I'm so annoyed! It always shuts down at crucial moments. I didn't see anything last night! The most important thing about solving problems is the process, the process, you know?!]

[This looks very intense. I'm telling you, don't let it get to the point of killing anyone.]

It's hard to say.

[It's fine to talk about it online, but in real life, who wouldn't rush up to a stunningly beautiful woman like this and desperately ask for her WeChat?]

Although Yunzhu was a virgin, she served Qi Yitang closely and, after the aphrodisiac incident, she naturally knew what it meant.

It was precisely because she knew this that Yunzhu was filled with horror, and her hands were trembling.

What to do, what to do? The Empress has been violated by thieves in her own home?

If His Majesty finds out...

Two words flashed through her mind: It's over.

Just then, Yunying came in carrying the clothes she was to wear that day and asked softly, "Has Your Highness woken up?"

Yunzhu grabbed her arm in a panic, her voice trembling with fear, "It's terrible, Yunying! Her Highness has been attacked by thieves... We have to report this to the authorities!"

The next second, Yunzhu said again, "No, we can't report this to the authorities!"

If word gets out, the Empress is finished, the maids are finished, and the entire Grand Tutor's mansion is finished!

Yun Ying was confused. What kind of thief was this? What official was she reporting to so early in the morning?

She approached the bed and was also shocked.

The Empress is delicate and frail; isn't His Majesty being a bit too rough...?

Turning around, she couldn't take it anymore and tapped Yunzhu on the forehead, lowering her voice, "Are you a pig-brain? This is the backyard of the Grand Tutor's mansion, where would a thief come from?"

"But Your Highness..." Yunzhu also realized what was happening and asked incredulously in a low voice, "Is it His Majesty?"

Otherwise what?

Putting aside the fact that this is the inner courtyard, what audacious thief could sneak in silently?

Furthermore, the guards His Majesty sent to protect the Empress were so skilled and demeanor-wise that they seemed like ordinary guards.

Yunzhu muttered, "Why is His Majesty acting like a lecher in the middle of the night... Wouldn't it be better to just use the main entrance openly?"

Yunying smiled meaningfully, "You don't understand, this is the pleasure of the boudoir."

Yunzhu thought to herself: You're not even married yet, how do you know anything?

"Yun Ying, what time is it?" At this moment, Qi Yitang's hoarse voice came from behind.

"Your Majesty, it's just past 3:45 AM." Yunying hurriedly stepped forward to help her up. "This servant will assist you with your washing up."

Qi Yitang hummed in agreement. As soon as she got out of bed, she felt weak all over. Looking down at the marks on her body, and recalling how she was forced to say those shameful things last night, she couldn't help but show her pain.

It's all Xie Jingyu's fault! Why is he running around and leaving things lying around so late at night instead of sleeping?!

Regarding last night, Qi Yitang couldn't lie and say she wasn't feeling well. After all, the emperor had a wasp waist, a broad back, and eight-pack abs—he was undeniably attractive.

But you can't get fat overnight; some things are more delicious when you savor them slowly.

Eating too much at once will make you feel very uncomfortable.

Qi Yitang rubbed her aching back, her frustration growing even stronger. "Yunzhu, go find someone to plant thorns outside that low wall on the east side, and tie up two vicious dogs. In short, don't let anyone come near it!"

Yunzhu was stunned. "...Huh?"

"What do you mean 'huh'? Hurry up!"

Yunzhu didn't ask any more questions. "This servant will go right away."

Yun Ying helped Qi Yitang wash her face, then helped her sit in front of the bronze mirror and slowly began to style her hair. "Your Majesty, the night before last, this servant saw a figure coming out of your room... Was it also His Majesty?"

Qi Yitang was startled. "You saw everything?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut and no one else knows."

Yunying asked softly, "Actually, this servant doesn't understand... if His Majesty misses you, why doesn't he just openly use the main gate?"

If other people see this, it won't sound good.

Who could fathom the emperor's thoughts? Even Qi Yitang couldn't understand why the emperor would have a penchant for climbing over walls. But there was one thing Qi Yitang vaguely sensed—

He was urging himself to return to the palace.
