Peerless Heiress - Chapter 102
The girl was dreaming about something when she suddenly smiled sweetly and murmured, "Little eagle... Mom..."
He turned over, and half of the blanket slipped down, revealing his fair and delicate collarbone and high breasts. His white robe had very wide sleeves, which had somehow slipped up to his arms, and his entire arm stretched out innocently over the blanket, his fingertips even piercing through the white gauze and touching his black clothes.
The man in black's Adam's apple bobbed, a soft sound escaping his throat. He reached out and seized the slender hand that had willingly walked into his trap. Tightly, he never wanted to let go.
The girl was startled awake and was about to scream when she saw who it was. She immediately deflated and angrily said, "You damned master, are you trying to scare me to death?!"
With that, she abruptly withdrew her hand, rolled her eyes, lazily raised both hands, and leaned back onto the bed. Looking at the ceiling, she complained, "Ugh, what are you doing here today? Couldn't you even pick a better time? Coming while I'm sleeping, really."
There was no response for a while, and the atmosphere felt strange. The girl sensed something was wrong and quickly turned her head to look. He had a cold expression, burning eyes, and tightly pursed lips. She suddenly realized what was going on, sat up abruptly, looked at the person in front of the bed, opened her mouth to say something, but seeing his strange expression, she immediately stopped herself and swallowed the words back.
"Hehe, it's the Crown Prince? What brings you here?" she said awkwardly, breaking the silence. Uh, what happened? The atmosphere is so strange.
His gaze suddenly fell on the bronze mirror opposite him, and he opened his mouth wide. He hurriedly reached out and pulled the quilt up to cover his body. His face turned red instantly. Oh no, no wonder Yuwen Ke was acting so strangely. It turns out his identity has been exposed.
Qingyan sighed inwardly. She should have known better than to have Jin San instruct the guards to automatically let the demon master pass upon seeing him, instead of issuing a warning. Otherwise, even if they couldn't stop him, at least she could have prepared earlier... Speaking of which, why did that damned guy suddenly decide to come today? Where's that damned demon? Hasn't he noticed that the real demon has come to cause trouble for his disciple?
Chapter 224: He's Sick
"Why am I here?" Yuwen Ke asked, his voice strange, as a strong smell of alcohol wafted out. "Shouldn't I have come?"
"Uh, no, of course not. Hehe..." Qingyan chuckled awkwardly, glancing at him somewhat uncomfortably. She pointed to the door cautiously, "Uh, Your Highness, could you... could you go out for a moment?"
Yuwen Ke swayed and sat down on the stool in front of the bed. He showed no intention of leaving, looking at her coldly with his thin lips pursed, without uttering a word.
"You..." Qingyan was furious. Her fingers traced the blanket, but stopped before lifting it. After all, her identity had just been exposed, so it was only natural for Yuwen Ke to be angry. After all, he was the crown prince; it would be strange if he wasn't angry after being deceived.
Thinking of this, Qingyan's anger subsided a bit. She automatically ignored his crime of barging into her room and refusing to leave, and said in a huff, "Alright, alright, my Your Highness, what exactly do you want?"
"What does he want?" Yuwen Ke suddenly burst into laughter, laughing uncontrollably until he couldn't sit up straight and slumped against the bedpost. "What does he want?"... Hahaha... What does he want?"...
"You are a woman, aren't you?" He suddenly grabbed Qingyan's shoulders and said coldly.
"Yes." Qingyan nodded. He had already seen it, hadn't he? However...
"Hey, don't blame me for lying to you. I never said I was a man. You were the one who initially thought I was a man." Qingyan hurriedly raised her hand and added this sentence at the end. In fact, she had already thought about how to refute it if it were exposed.
Yuwen Ke gave a bitter laugh. Yes, it was all wishful thinking on his part. He thought she was a man, yet he fell for this man and suffered greatly because he believed he was gay. He never expected the truth to be like this. Heh...
"Uh, you, what's wrong with you?" Qingyan finally noticed that something was wrong with Yuwen Ke and looked at him with concern.
Yuwen Ke looked down at the woman so close to him. Her eyes were clear and bright, filled with a warm light. "You... are worried about me?" He almost held his breath.
“Yes.” Qingyan nodded without hesitation, reached out and placed her hand on his forehead, frowning as she murmured, “It doesn’t seem like you have a fever, but your head is so cold. Is this a sign of illness? Strange…”
"I'm sick." He suddenly grabbed her hand as she tried to leave, holding it tightly in his palm, and let out a sob. "I'm sick..."
Qingyan awkwardly tried to pull her hand away, but couldn't. With another effort, Yuwen Ke suddenly swayed and fell, landing directly on top of her, then stopped moving. Qingyan was startled, then became anxious, "Hey, hey, hey, get up! Don't sleep here! Go back to the palace to sleep! Hey, hey..."
Chapter 225: Make a Decision Early
The strong smell of alcohol wafted over Qingyan. Yuwen Ke's body was so heavy that Qingyan could hardly breathe. She could only desperately pat his body and push him to get up.
Yuwen Ke was woken up by her push, and he struggled to get up, leaning against the bed panting.
Qingyan frowned, looking at him, his whole body reeking of alcohol, even his clothes. Every move he made was intoxicating. She really didn't know how much this guy had drunk, that she had to serve a drunkard like this! Ughhhhh!
That damn master, why isn't he showing up now? 5555...
Speechless and choked with sobs.
"Hey, you're so drunk, why aren't you back at the palace? What are you doing here?" Qingyan rolled her eyes, then suddenly remembered something and her eyes widened. "Uh, if I remember correctly, today is your wedding day. I heard you have to go to court early this morning and welcome Princess Dawei to the palace at noon. Why are you here? Honestly, and you're so drunk..."
Seeing the man's dazed and indifferent state, she suddenly covered her mouth, her jaw almost dropping, and pointed at Yuwen Ke, "You, you haven't forgotten, have you?...My God..."
There was still no response. Qingyan slapped her forehead and sighed, feeling a headache coming on.
What kind of crown prince is he? Honestly! He's so unreliable. What kind of time is this? Seriously, this is the wedding—
Although she didn't take the position of Left Chancellor seriously, surely she shouldn't ignore such an important matter? If the Crown Prince weren't there, today's ceremony would surely be quite a spectacle.
Qingyan sighed again, looking at the night sky outside. Dawn was just beginning to break in the distance. In a little while, a eunuch would enter the East Palace to invite the Crown Prince's carriage.
Aaaaaahh ...
Oh well, let's just say she's unlucky.
Qingyan was angry for a while, then helplessly climbed off the bed. She wanted to get up to call someone, but she almost fell over as soon as she took a step. She then realized that one of her hands was still being held tightly. Without thinking, she slapped him back and said irritably, "Let go."
There was no response. When she looked again, Yuwen Ke had fallen into a deep sleep. The large hand that was gripping her tightly was as if it were made of steel. No matter how hard she tried, she could not pry it open.
Startled, staring in disbelief, and then deflated, a furious scream echoed through the night sky of Zhongfang Garden.
"Green Ju!!!"

Ru Ying stood by the window, the moonlight casting its glow on her face, making her look as beautiful as ever, but her expression was cold, and her eyes held a complex light.
"Master, everything is proceeding according to plan. The eldest prince is furious and is making plans to take action. The operation should be within the next two days." Behind him, a man in black was kneeling on the ground. He looked up at Ru Ying with fervent loyalty and excitement.
Ru Ying didn't speak, seemingly lost in thought, before finally replying, "I understand."
"Your subordinate will take his leave. We cannot linger here any longer. I urge you, Master, to make a decision as soon as possible and leave." The man in black bowed to the ground and said in a deep voice.
She frowned slightly, looking at the brightly lit Yanran Residence in Qingyan not far away, where shadowy figures moved about. Her lips moved, but she ultimately remained silent.
