I am the champion of palace intrigue, and even the proud prince bows his head in submission.

Chapter 58 Consummation

The two kissed under the moonlight, their breaths mingling.

Qin Jiuwei let out a soft moan at the sudden kiss, her body trembling slightly, but she unconsciously responded, her hands tightly gripping Xie Yanli's clothes.

The moment their lips met, Xie Yanli felt a chill run down his spine, and he frantically absorbed her breath.

Qin Jiuwei sat in his lap, her breath stolen by him, and could only cling to his neck to endure his fierce kisses.

Suddenly, the speeding carriage came to a screeching halt, and the coachman's voice came from outside.

"Your Highness, we have arrived at the medical clinic."

The idyllic scene in the carriage was abruptly interrupted. Xie Yanli's dark eyes widened, his abyss-like gaze now filled with lust.

"Return to the Marquis's residence." A cold, emotionless voice rang out.

The coachman was taken aback. Wasn't the young mistress ill? Shouldn't she see a doctor?

But he dared not disobey and turned to head towards the Marquis's residence.

Inside the carriage, Qin Jiuwei was somewhat dissatisfied with his sudden departure and let out a soft moan.

Xie Yanli chuckled, then grabbed her head and pressed it down hard again, rubbing and caressing it relentlessly, not letting any opening slip by.

The kiss was passionate and domineering; Qin Jiuwei felt as if she were about to be devoured by him.

At the same time, Xie Yanli's hand, which had been resting on Qin Jiuwei's waist, began to wander.

His hand slowly moved down Qin Jiuwei's back, feeling the warmth and softness of her skin through her thin clothes.

When he touched her slender, boneless waist, he couldn't help but squeeze it a little harder, and Qin Jiu let out a soft moan.

Xie Yanli chuckled softly, his large hand lingering on her waist as he gently caressed it.

His other hand gently caressed Qin Jiuwei's cheek, his fingertips brushing across her burning face.

Qin Jiuwei's eyes were tightly closed, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the blush on her face grew even more intense, like a delicate rose about to bloom to its fullest.

The carriage slowly came to a stop. "Young Master, we have arrived at the Marquis's residence."

Xie Yanli suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze dark and fixed on the gentle beauty before him.

Qin Jiuwei slowly opened her eyes, her tear-filled eyes revealing unparalleled beauty.

Xie Yanli's voice was hoarse as he gently coaxed, "Be good, it'll be quick."

Then he picked up the cloak beside him and covered her up completely, then hugged her tightly and got off the carriage.

He didn't want anyone to see her like this.

Only he can see it.

Hearing the commotion, the butler rushed over. He was about to ask a question, but Xie Yanli's dark and gloomy face made him swallow his words.

Xie Yanli hurried across the threshold of the Marquis's residence and rushed towards Qinglan Courtyard.

Qin Jiuwei knew they were outside, and she couldn't help but snuggle even closer into Xie Yanli's arms.

Xie Yanli couldn't help but pause, feeling a soft sensation brushing against his chest, a tingling, numb feeling spreading from his heart to his limbs, causing his lower abdomen to tighten suddenly.

When the servants of Qinglan Courtyard saw Xie Yanli return, they were very respectful and prepared to bow, but when they saw him clearly, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Good heavens, am I seeing things? The young mistress is actually being held in the young master's arms?"

"What's going on? Weren't we supposed to be going to the Prince Qi's residence for a poetry gathering?"

"Who knows? But it seems the young mistress is going to be favored!"

Qinglan Courtyard is now managed very well by Qin Jiuwei, and everyone admires the new lady's methods, thinking that she is good at managing the household.

However, they also knew that the relationship between the young master and his wife was not very good, and they lived in separate rooms every day.

The young mistress spends less time with the young master than with the heir apparent.

I never expected to see the two of them so close today!

Xie Yanli carried Qin Jiuwei into the main house and ordered in a low voice, "No one is allowed to come in."

The maids looked at each other, then exchanged knowing smiles.

The door slammed shut behind Xie Yanli, shutting out the outside world.

The room was dimly lit, with only a few rays of moonlight filtering through the window and casting dappled shadows on the floor.

Xie Yanli gently placed Qin Jiuwei on the bed.

As he moved, more and more clothes piled up beside the bed.

Qin Jiuwei's eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Large swathes of snow-white skin gleamed alluringly in the moonlight.

In the darkness, shadows overlapped, and Xie Yanli's breathing became increasingly rapid.

Qin Jiuwei gasped silently, tilted her head back, and reached out to hook her arm around his neck.

Sensing her response, Xie Yanli became even more audacious, instantly unleashing his fangs like a wild beast breaking free of its restraints.

Qin Jiuwei was the prey, powerless to resist, letting out a small animal's whimper.

After an unknown amount of time, the maids who were dozing outside the door heard an order from inside the room to call for water.

The bathtub and hot water were quickly prepared and carried into the house.

Xie Yanli carried Qin Jiuwei to the bathtub, gently placed her in, and then stepped in himself, the hot water washing over their bodies.

A trace of lingering dark red remained in his eyes, but there was more pity than anything else.

Xie Yanli picked up a soft, damp cloth and began wiping her shoulders and arms.

The sensation of the damp cloth sliding across her skin was like the gentle touch of a feather, causing Qin Jiu to tremble slightly and utter a barely audible sound.

The misty water vapor surrounded the two of them like a thin veil.

As he wiped her, Xie Yanli's gaze couldn't help but fall on the red marks on her neck, and on her skin, which appeared even more radiant and fair after being soaked in water.

Qin Jiuwei opened her eyes at this moment, her beautiful eyes misty as if filled with fog.

Her lips were bright red, and her cheeks were still flushed, her figure as radiant as a peach blossom in spring.

Xie Yanli's eyes suddenly darkened.
