When Xuanyuan Zhiling saw such a scene, a hint of disbelief and coldness immediately flashed across his face.

"Imperial Consort Lan, you drugged my tea?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling ruthlessly asked the beautiful woman who was sleeping soundly beside him, showing that he did not know how to care for the fairer sex.

Seeing this, Nalan Duo'er did not panic, and slowly sat up on the bed.

"Your Majesty, Lan'er was your concubine in the first place. Could it be that she can't …"

Nalan Duo'er scolded her harshly before she could finish speaking.

"Don't say anymore! "You actually drugged our tea. Do you really think that you can do whatever you want just because you're my concubine?!"

Being scolded by Xuanyuan Zhiling in such a strict manner, Nalan Duo'er's face immediately turned awkward.

Both of her eyes stared unwaveringly at Nalan Duo'er. Seeing that Nalan Duo'er's tender skin was still exposed, Xuanyuan Zhiling didn't even spare her a glance as she pulled up a piece of her robe and undergarment and threw it on Nalan Duo'er's body, covering her delicate body.

"Your Majesty …"

Nalan Duo'er still wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth to speak, only tears remained.

"Don't say anymore, it was you who forced yourself into a corner. This is the only time, in the future, don't even think about it."

Every word that Xuanyuan Zhiling said resounded powerfully, causing Nalan Duo'er to unavoidably feel despair.

"Your majesty, don't do this to me. Your majesty …"

Tears fell down, but Xuanyuan Zhiling acted as if he did not see them.

Xuanyuan Zhiling let out a deep sigh, as a trace of coldness appeared on his face.

"Remember, it's not yours. Do not force it."

After saying that, Xuanyuan Zhiling donned a long robe and left the Purple Palace in large strides, leaving behind the crying Nalan Duo'er.

Xuanyuan Zhiling's mood was extremely terrible. As he sat alone in the imperial study, his mind constantly recalled the scene of him being warm to Nalan Duo'er during the day.

"I never thought that things would develop to this extent."

Xuanyuan Zhiling thought that he had betrayed Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was currently sitting in the middle of the Main Palace in a daze, because Qin Chen had just come in to report that Xuanyuan Zhiling had just walked out of the Purple Palace and his clothes were all disheveled.

"The empress is really pitiful, we can only guard the empty room."

Behind Qin Feng, a man's voice that carried an extremely strong magnetism sounded out.

Qin Feng suddenly turned her head, and sure enough, there was a black shadow standing beside the screen.

Without even thinking about, this black figure was naturally the Song Mingzhi that had appeared mysteriously a few times without being caught.

"It's you again? You keep on barging into my Blue Bird Hall, what exactly are you doing? "

Qin Feng frowned. She felt that the man in front of her was extremely dangerous.

She couldn't see Song Mingzhi's face clearly, but she could feel that he was smiling, and his smile contained a little pride.

"What? empress doesn't welcome me?"

At this point, Song Mingzhi's tone became much colder.

"I'm not in a good mood right now, so I don't have time to chat with you. You'd better leave immediately, or else the imperial bodyguards won't be easy to mess with."

Qin Feng said with an ice-cold tone. It truly was a night of heavy rain, and her mood was terrible, bad things happen one after another.

Song Mingzhi sneered.

"empress's mood is naturally bad, because the emperor is currently warm with Imperial Consort Lan's Purple Palace. If it's any woman, would she be happy?"

The moment Song Mingzhi opened his mouth, he was immediately agitated.

"Why did you appear again?"

It was unknown when Qin Chen had appeared within the Blue Bird Hall, but her voice was ice-cold and filled with killing intent.

Song Mingzhi was also shocked by the sudden appearance of Qin Chen.

"Hmph, who would have thought that after not seeing you for a few days, your ability had increased, to actually be able to walk into the Blue Bird Hall s outside of my detection."

Song Mingzhi's words carried a hint of ridicule.

Qin Chen snorted indifferently, she tightened her grip on the treasure sword in her hand.

"No need to do anything, I'll leave now."

Song Mingzhi was tactful, seeing that Qin Chen was about to pull out her sword, she asked with a serious expression.

At night, Xuanyuan Zhiling had already been sitting in the imperial study for an entire day, with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty …"

The young eunuch called out to Xuanyuan Zhiling, but Xuanyuan Zhiling did not reply.

When he pushed the door open, Xuanyuan Zhiling was already asleep, leaning on the chair. The young eunuch had no choice but to go and ask Qin Feng.

"empress, I still invite you to go take a look. The Emperor has already been eating and drinking for an entire day, and no matter how he lies on the chair, he won't wake up."

As he said that, the little eunuch kneeled on the ground and begged Qin Feng.

Qin Feng frowned, was she really going? That man had already broken her heart, even though Qin Feng knew that she still cared about him.

"Alright, it looks like I'll have to head there myself."

Qin Feng was still unable to suppress her worry for Xuanyuan Zhiling, so she agreed.

When she walked into the imperial study, Qin Feng saw the unconscious Xuanyuan Zhiling sitting on the chair.

Sighing lightly, Qin Feng had a complex expression on her face.

"You can leave first. I'll take care of the emperor."

After the young eunuch left, only Qin Feng and Xuanyuan Zhiling remained in the imperial study. The candle in the imperial study swayed and swayed, and the entire room was extremely quiet, so quiet that Qin Feng could hear her own breathing.

Maybe it was because he was too nervous.

Qin Feng came over to Xuanyuan Zhiling's side. Seeing his somewhat haggard face, Qin Feng's heart ached a little.

"Qin Feng, Qin Feng, I'm sorry …"

Xuanyuan Zhiling suddenly shouted loudly, waving and struggling with his arms.

Qin Feng jumped in shock. She then realized that Xuanyuan Zhiling was just talking in his sleep.

"Sorry?"

Qin Feng looked at Xuanyuan Zhiling's sad face with a little puzzlement. She was actually shocked to find that a drop of clear tears had come down from the corner of Xuanyuan Zhiling's eyes.

This was the first time Qin Feng had seen Xuanyuan Zhiling cry, even in her dreams.

"I'm sorry, Qin Feng, I'm sorry …"

Xuanyuan Zhiling kept on saying that he was sorry, and his tears kept on flowing as well.

Although Qin Feng didn't know what Xuanyuan Zhiling was feeling guilty about, she still wiped away the tears on her face with a handkerchief.

Unexpectedly, such a small action like this woke Xuanyuan Zhiling up.

The moment he saw Qin Feng, Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression became extremely complicated; even though he couldn't see it clearly, he still couldn't see it clearly.

"Why are you here?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling opened her mouth, but it was unexpectedly ice-cold.

Qin Feng shuddered intensely. She was still crying out sorry in his sleep just now, but now she had become so cold. Was this his guilty conscience?

"It was this eunuch who informed chenqie to come take care of the emperor because he was worried something would happen to you."

Qin Feng's tone was even more sinister than Xuanyuan Zhiling's, but Xuanyuan Zhiling was not surprised at all when he heard Qin Feng's words, and only nodded indifferently.

's eyes became moist, as he knew that the feelings between him and Xuanyuan Zhiling had diminished a lot.

"I'm fine. empress, go back to your Blue Bird Hall."

Xuanyuan Zhiling sighed softly, his tone carrying a little helplessness.

Hearing Xuanyuan Zhiling's words, Qin Feng could not help but smile bitterly.

Just as Qin Feng was about to open the Imperial Study and walk out, she suddenly thought about something.

"Your majesty, chenqie was just concerned for a moment. Is Your Majesty sick?"

Qin Feng was slightly startled when she suddenly turned around.

But in the next moment, Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

"I'm not sick."

Xuanyuan Zhiling intentionally treated Qin Feng coldly, because he wanted to know just how long Qin Feng had been able to remain calm after what had happened between him and Nalan Duo'er.

"Your majesty, have you forgotten that chenqie knows medicine?"

When Qin Feng said till here, she had a complex expression on her face.

When Xuanyuan Zhiling heard Qin Feng's words, he frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

"As far as chenqie is concerned, Your Majesty's face is deathly pale and your spirit is dispirited. This is a classic case of excessive indulgence."

As he said till here, Qin Feng's expression had already become somewhat unsightly. That unpleasant image once again flashed past Qin Feng's mind.

Although Qin Feng was not polite at all when she heard Qin Feng's words, she was not sure if Qin Feng was jealous or not.

"Really?" That could be because it's a little too early in the morning in the Purple Palace. "

Speaking to this point, Xuanyuan Zhiling was staring at Qin Feng with a complex expression.

Qin Feng's tears instantly flowed down. It seemed like everything was real, Xuanyuan Zhiling was really together with Nalan Duo'er.

When Xuanyuan Zhiling saw Qin Feng's tears, he knew that Qin Feng still cared about him.

"Qin Feng..."

Xuanyuan Zhiling stared fixedly at Qin Feng, and looked at the two streams of clear tears on her face.

"Looks like what happened during the day is true?" "You're really with her now …"

When Qin Feng said till here, her tears flowed even more violently. She could even hear the sound of her heart breaking.

The man in front of her, the man who once swore an oath to her, was now telling her how hard it was for him to stay in another woman's bed.

Qin Feng could not help but laugh bitterly. She did not expect her, Qin Feng, to end up like this.

"Do you still care if This Emperor is with another woman?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling frowned slightly. At this time, this was the first time Xuanyuan Zhiling felt that the relationship between him and Qin Feng was that sincere.

He didn't know why, but Qin Feng's tears flowed profusely. When did her relationship with Xuanyuan Zhiling start to need to be questioned?

"Does it matter if I care or not? "I care, you're with her now, I don't care, you're still with her now."

Qin Feng said with a face full of despair.

Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, Xuanyuan Zhiling's heart immediately trembled. He thought back to the scene when she was together with Nalan Duo'er during the day, and suddenly felt extremely sorry for Qin Feng.

"This country belongs to me. Don't you allow me to make a single mistake?"

As he spoke till here, a trace of stubbornness quickly flashed across Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression.

At this moment, they looked into each other's eyes, but they could not see each other's heart. Qin Feng was hurt, but Xuanyuan Zhiling clearly knew he was wrong, but he did not know how to open his mouth to apologize to Qin Feng.

"Is it not wrong for the emperor to make a mistake?"

Qin Feng frowned, she felt that the current Xuanyuan Zhiling was a stranger, as if she had never met him before.

When Xuanyuan Zhiling heard the forceful tone in Qin Feng's words, he immediately frowned in displeasure.

"Alright, so what if I'm wrong? But things have already come to this point. What does the empress want from me?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling looked at Qin Feng with certainty in her eyes. It was clearly Xuanyuan Zhiling's fault this time, but did he have to apologize to Qin Feng as the ruler of a nation?

Qin Feng sneered, a complicated expression on her face.

"I don't want anything to happen to you. I just want you to stop hurting my heart. That's good."

Qin Feng said lightly with a complex expression on her face.

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Xuanyuan Zhiling was stunned for a moment, and then, a hint of coldness appeared in his expression. He had truly hurt Qin Feng's heart thoroughly, but what could he do after what had happened?

"Alright, I promise you, we won't do it another time."

Xuanyuan Zhiling said coldly, but in his heart, he secretly swore that from now on, Xuanyuan Zhiling would never take another step into the Purple Palace.
