or, who had been given the softening powder, and Qian Si Chen were now slumped in their chairs. The empress was huddled beside them, her face pale with fear. The entire hall had been seized by Qian L..."Second Miss, the Wangye's carriage has arrived!" As dusk approached, Zhu'er ran in to report.

Xiao Yu Ge knew that Qian Ting Xuan wouldn't come in, so she got up and bid farewell to her parents: "Father, Mother, the Prince has come to pick me up. I'll go back first."

"Alright, be careful on your way." Xiao Zhan knew his daughter was all grown up and he couldn't keep her any longer. Although he felt reluctant, he still had to see her off.

Xiao Yufu subconsciously glanced at the door, a hint of disappointment on her face. Finally, Brother Sichin wasn't coming to pick her up. Of course, she was just a concubine, and he was the Crown Prince. How could he possibly come to pick her up in person

Seeing Xiao Yuge being lifted into the carriage with such pampering by Qian Tingxuan, her heart was filled with envy. Although she kept a calm facade on her face, her hand clenched tightly inside her sleeve: Why was Xiao Yuge so lucky Everything good seemed to fall into her lap, why!

"Fu'er, the palace gates will be locked soon. Let your brother send you back." Madam Xiao looked outside, then withdrew her gaze with some disappointment. Her daughter was in such a predicament now; she felt both heartbroken and saddened.

"Mother, there's no need. I can go back myself; it's not that far." Xiao Yufu refused Chu Tianqi's offer to send her off, leaving with An Ling instead. This was her final pride; even as a prince's concubine, she would one day rise above!

Chu Tianqi originally also wanted to send her off, but seeing her rejection like this, he simply didn't send her. He felt that letting her remember this lesson would be good, so she wouldn't always think about harming Ge'er.

Upon returning to Mingzhu Mansion, Xiao Yuge didn't see Qing Luo and Lu Xiangwan. She asked, "Qian Tingxuan, did Qing Luo go to find Ming Yang"

"Well, maybe. Anyway, I didn't see them when I came out." Qian Tingxuan lay down leisurely: "After a busy day, it's finally time to rest well."

"Maybe he went to find Ming Yang." Xiao Yuge didn't think much of it, thinking that with Ming Yang protecting Qing Luo, she could rest assured. She started to tidy up her hair and saw him taking off his clothes in the mirror, so she asked, "Aren't you going back tonight"

"I haven't slept with Xiao Ge'er for two days, where is she going to send me" Qian Tingxuan, wearing close-fitting clothes, lifted her up.

"Don't be ridiculous, my hair isn't done yet..." Xiao Yuge struggled.

“It’s fine, I’ll get it for you later…” Qian Tingxuan hugged her and rolled onto the bed together, his hands eagerly reaching to undo her clothes.

"You're thinking about this all day, can't you think of anything else" Xiao Yuge also lost to him. She was certain he hadn't taken any love potion, how could he be by her side like a starving wolf, always wanting to pounce on her.

"I've been hungry for twenty years, and you still won't let me have a proper meal! Besides, I'm a normal man. Isn't it normal to think about this kind of thing" Qian Tingxuan smirked, waving his hand, and the intricate clothing on his body was already torn away in one piece.

"You bastard, you tore my clothes again!" Xiao Yuge protested loudly.

"It's fine, we can buy a few more tomorrow."

Qianting sealed her lips domineeringly, giving her no chance to speak...

After a bout of intimacy, Xiao Yu Ge lay tiredly on his arm, frowning and starting to complain: "My waist..."

“It’s all my fault, let me rub your back…” Qian Tingxuan wore a fawning expression, his big hand gently kneading on her smooth and delicate waist. Every time he felt pity for her, but every time he couldn't control himself.

"By the way, after my birthday, let's have a wedding for Ming Yang and Qing Luo," Xiao Yu Ge thought. After her birthday, she would go to Tianzhu. At that time, the journey would be dangerous, and Qing Luo had no martial arts skills. It was better not to take her along. She decided to take Lu Xiang Wan instead.

Qian Tingxuan nodded. "Alright, I've also mentioned it to Mingyang. That kid wants to marry Qingluo as soon as possible too. I'm planning on giving them the courtyard in Xicheng as a wedding gift. What do you think"

"Hmm, that's a good idea. I'll give Qing Luo a few more shops as dowry. She has no relatives, so I am her family. Mingzhu Mansion is her home, so I will definitely not mistreat her." Xiao Yuge had already thought this through. In her previous life, Qing Luo died to save her, and in this life, she would make sure Qing Luo lived a happy and fulfilling life.

"Alright, you have your way," Qian Tingxuan leaned down and kissed the smooth, tender skin of her back. A certain place began to stir restlessly again.

After noticing his reaction, Xiao Yuge's first instinct was to get up: "Qian Tingxuan, you bastard, did you take your medicine" She had just been tortured by him until her waist ached and her back hurt, and he was coming again!

"I drank the birth control soup..." Qian Tingxuan would certainly not let her escape. With a gentle press of his hand, he pulled her back under him.

"You're overindulging!" Xiao Yu Ge didn't understand where he got so much energy, like it was inexhaustible.

"No, men are driven by their desires. They remain boys until they die..." His heavy breathing seemed to suck all the air from around her, his gaze fixed on the alluring figure beneath him, threatening to drive him mad.

"But I don't want to..." Xiao Yuge even refused with no strength in her voice. This man always had a way to make her soft and weak, completely powerless against him.

"Baby, it's too late..."

Bowing his head, he swallowed her soft moans whole....

The next morning.

Xiao Yu Ge got up with a tired face. Seeing the purple bruises on her back in the mirror, she couldn't help but frown: "That bastard Qian Ting Xuan, if he dares to touch me again tonight, I'll destroy him! Ouch! My waist!"

"Qing Luo! Qing Luo!" she shouted outside the door several times, but Qing Luo did not come in as usual. Confused, she changed her clothes and went out.

"My lady!" Maid Yuan'er hurried forward to greet her.

"Where's Qingluo" Xiao Yuge looked around the courtyard but didn't see Qingluo.

Yuan'er shook her head: "To reply to the County Princess, Qing Luo sister seemed to have not returned all night."

"Qingluo didn't come back last night" Xiao Yuge subconsciously frowned, a nameless unease swirling in her heart. After a moment of thought, she asked again, "What about Wan'er"

"Sister Wa'er did not return home all night last night either!"

"What They haven't come back" Xiao Yuge seemed to realize something and rushed out immediately.

"My lady, you haven't had your breakfast yet."

"I'm not eating anymore, let's go." Xiao Yuge ran out in a panic. Lu Xiangwan had martial arts and usually went out without returning. She wasn't worried, but Qing Luo didn't have any martial arts. Even if she went out with Mingyang at night, Mingyang would always bring her back safely. But today seemed different.

As expected, when she rushed to the palace and inquired, she learned that Qing Luo hadn't been with Ming Yang last night, but had gone back with Lu Xiangwan instead.

“Qing Luo wouldn’t disappear without a reason. Something must have happened.” Xiao Yuge hurried to Ruyi Fang and immediately asked Feng Yan Niang to arrange for someone to look for her.

After searching all morning, I couldn't find any trace of them.an Tingxuan appeared at Tingfeng Courtyard carrying the unconscious Xiao Yuge, He Ming, who was busy, jumped in fright."She seems to have been poisoned, take a look at her quickly!" Qian Tingxuan stru...
