Sang Yao slowed down her pace. The surroundings made her a little scared, and her physical weakness made her vigilant. In the darkness, she asked, “Little eunuch, did my father really ask me to come to such a remote place?”

The little eunuch walked ahead, his figure blurred by the night, and his sharp voice, typical of eunuchs, came from ahead, “Miss Sang, Master wants to talk to you about some important matters, so he specially found a place with fewer people.”

“Miss Sang, it’s just ahead, we’re almost there.”

But Sang Yao really didn’t know what important matters her father could have to talk to her about, and why he had to choose such a strange place.

The discomfort in her body became more and more obvious.

She pinched her palm with her fingers, her voice unchanged, and asked, “Little eunuch, how long do I have to wait? It seems like the banquet won’t end for another half hour.”

“Should I just wait until tomorrow morning to talk to him?”

The little eunuch said, “Don’t worry, Master left the table early and will be here soon.”

Sang Yao suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Her father, afraid of offending people and eager to show off, would never leave the banquet early for any reason, no matter how boring it was, or how urgent the matter.

All around was darkness, with only the faint sound of the little eunuch’s footsteps ahead.

Without thinking, Sang Yao immediately turned around and ran back desperately.

Sang Yao had never encountered any sinister tricks from childhood to adulthood. Even if she had been bullied or coerced, it was only that time with Lu Ting, and she had some voluntary involvement then.

But this time, she didn’t even know who was trying to harm her.

She was originally just an ordinary girl who never left her home. She had no chance to offend anyone.

The Beixing Palace was so big, and most of the eunuchs, palace maids, and courtiers were at the Lian Fang Hall tonight. If a girl like her disappeared, no one would even notice.

Sang Yao could feel the little eunuch behind her chasing her, his footsteps getting closer and closer.

Sang Yao wanted to shout, but for some reason, she suddenly felt weak.

She couldn’t speak, and even her head started to feel fuzzy.

                                                             
As long as she ran through this bamboo forest, it would be fine. She remembered that they had passed by the Lianfang Palace not long ago.

As long as she could hold on and run to the Lianfang Palace, this person would certainly have some misgivings.

But her body’s response was beyond her control.

A inexplicable heat surged through her limbs and bones, making the path ahead blurry.

In a daze, she thought, she had been in her room all day today and hadn’t caught a cold, so why was she feverish again?

The little eunuch behind her was still chasing her, but now she even found it difficult to lift the hem of her dress.

Her senses were blurred, and she even began to see the road unclearly, relying solely on her will to keep running forward.

Until she turned a corner, her feet gave way, and her body fell. Unfortunately, the little eunuch caught up with her at this moment.

Fortunately, she was caught by someone else, not the little eunuch. Sang Yao couldn’t see clearly, but in that moment, she smelled the familiar cold fragrance on him.

Sang Yao grabbed his sleeve tightly, trying to open her eyes hard to see his face clearly, but there was always a thin mist in front of her eyes.

Under the cold moonlight, Xie Yun held Sang Yao’s waist, his face dark.

He looked at the little eunuch who ran away at the sight of him, and instead of sending someone to chase after him, he whispered:

“Check the palace gate’s lock and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving.”

Jing Lian responded and walked away.

Miss Sang’s situation is a bit special and absolutely cannot be publicized.

A considerable dose of cartilage incense was put into her food, but fortunately she didn’t eat much, so the effect of the medicine wouldn’t last too long. But it’s never good to spread such things.

So after leaving the Lianfang Pavilion, even if his master found out about Miss Sang’s whereabouts, he didn’t send someone to look for her directly, but personally came to the Fangyuan.

After Jing Lian left, Xie Yun didn’t carry Sang Yao out of the Fangyuan directly.

He didn’t care much about his reputation, but if Sang Yao were carried out by him, she probably wouldn’t be able to marry anyone.

Xie Yun rarely showed such compassion for others.

Moreover, the amount of medicine she took was not much. After sitting on this for half an hour, she should be able to walk back on her own without needing him to support her.

Under the moonlight, Sang Yao felt as if her feet were off the ground.

She instinctively raised her arms and hugged Xie Yun’s neck. Although she was almost unconscious, she still complained to Xie Yun in a blurry voice, “Why am I feverish again?”

Xie Yun ignored her and brought her to a cool pavilion, then placed her on a long bench.

Leaning against the pillar, Sang Yao felt a bit unconscious.

Her lips touched something cold. She opened her lips, and the cool water flowed into her mouth, making her feel a little better.

But the person beside her obviously didn’t know how to take care of others. She had already drunk enough, but this person was still pinching her chin and pouring water into her mouth.

Feeling uncomfortable, Sang Yao turned her face away.

The water in the porcelain cup accidentally spilled on the girl’s cheek, and the thin stream of water flowed down into her collar.

Sang Yao’s body was very hot, and this icy water brought her a moment of relief.

She felt as if she had sobered up a bit.

At this moment, she finally saw Xie Yun’s face clearly, but her confused mind still didn’t let her figure out what was going on. She slightly opened her lips, feeling extremely wronged, and said to him, “…The last time I had a fever, it wasn’t this bad.”

Xie Yun wiped away the water stains from Sang Yao’s lips with his thumb, not bothering to explain to this fool, just said:

“Wait a moment, you’ll be fine,” Sang Yao didn’t hear clearly, she weakly leaned back against the pillar.

But this time, the pillar felt different, leaning against it was somewhat comfortable.

Xie Yun put down the porcelain cup, his expressionless eyes looking down at the girl leaning on him.

He pinched Sang Yao’s face unceremoniously and said, “Sit properly.”

The girl didn’t react at all. He couldn’t expect someone who had been drugged with cartilage incense to respond properly.

Xie Yun wasn’t actually someone who liked intimate contact with others, but with Sang Yao, it wasn’t just once. The familiar jasmine fragrance.

He didn’t like this jasmine fragrance, but he always couldn’t help but be attracted to it, and then he tried to explore and learn more.

Xie Yun sat still, letting her lean against him.

But when he wanted to withdraw his hand, Sang Yao, subconsciously wanting to get closer to something cooler, actively pressed her cheek against his palm.

Warm and soft filled his palm, and Xie Yun stopped his movement.

Sang Yao gently rubbed against him, her smooth skin sliding back and forth in his hand.

Xie Yun’s hand involuntarily pressed against her.

Sang Yao didn’t know that her face had been touched all over by this man beside her.

She just subconsciously wanted to get close to something she felt comfortable with.

She kept getting closer to him until the girl’s moist red lips accidentally brushed against the man’s protruding Adam’s apple.

Xie Yun lightly frowned, then controlled her chin to stop her actions.

Sang Yao was forced to raise her head, the man’s fingertips sinking into the soft flesh, his plump lips moist with water stains, especially moist under the moonlight.

Stopping the intimate action gradually turned sour.

Compared to before, where there was hesitation and the need for excuses to approach, this time Xie Yun was much more vicious.

He naturally didn’t care if his actions were considered taking advantage of her in a dangerous situation, as he was never one to restrain himself.

Xie Yun’s thumb fell directly on her plump lips, and then he rubbed back and forth. His fingers recklessly entered her mouth, the tips gradually shining with moisture.

This action was obviously more violent than before, and much more overbearing.

The girl murmured softly, her words indistinguishable, his gaze fixed on her lips.

Just touching with his fingers didn’t seem quite right. It seemed like something was missing. Xie Yun’s gaze darkened.

He didn’t even hesitate much. When desire first arose, he directly lowered his head and, while the girl was unaware, kissed her forcefully.

It wasn’t really a kiss, more like a probe.

Familiar touch.

Also very strange.

Xie Yun’s hand did not let go, he was still pinching Sang Yao’s chin, the moonlight casting a cold color over her body, but her lips were warm.

The porcelain-white skin contrasted with the bright red lips.

Then, Xie Yun lowered his head again, in a dominant manner, unrestrainedly kissing her again while the girl was unconscious.

Moving away from probing, this time it was more like possession and exploration.

He boldly entered her mouth, touching her tongue.

At first, this kiss was chaotic and not gentle, even very rough.

His hand gripped the girl’s slender waist, and as their lips and tongues intertwined, after a few back and forth attempts, Sang Yao felt that this kiss seemed to become more skilled from the initial chaos.

Her tongue was numb from the kiss, and her body, which was already weak, became even more powerless.

Because her mind was confused, she wouldn’t respond, only resisting instinctively, unaware that this was already the most awkward response.

The unfamiliar feeling still made her feel strange, but the familiar cold fragrance made her feel a little safe.

In a daze, she felt that she couldn’t breathe. And at this moment, not far away came a familiar shout.

“Yao Yao!”

Sang Yao’s mind cleared up a bit, her breathing was disturbed by the kiss.

She subconsciously turned her face away, avoiding this dense and wet kiss, and then turned her head back.

Under the clear moonlight

She saw someone standing outside the pavilion.

But before she could see who it was, the man’s hand again clamped her chin, forcing her to turn her head, and once again forcefully kissed her.
