Back at the mansion, Ning Ziqing looked tired and asked Yinxiang to prepare a hot water bath for her.Yinxiang saw her wound opened again and cried distressedly.

"It would be great if I followed the lady into the palace today."

"Silly girl, if you enter the palace with me today, we will both be punished. If even you are injured, who will take care of me." Ning Ziqing gently scratched her nose.

Yinxiang laughed through her tears. She helped Ning Ziqing take off her clothes, and then helped her get into the tub.He carefully placed her right arm outside the tub, then helped her take off her headdress, and pulled her long hair into a simple bun, hanging down the back of her head.

"Yinxiang, I want to soak alone for a while. You go out first and come back later to pour me some hot water." Ning Ziqing lazily leaned her head on the edge of the tub.

Yinxiang put down her bath towel, left the room with the bucket, and closed the door behind her back.

The room was filled with mist, and Ning Ziqing stared at the beating candlelight with blurred eyes.Then he closed his eyes tiredly and fell asleep.

At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and the candlelight on the table flickered a few times, awakening Ning Ziqing.She opened her eyes and saw a familiar face appearing in front of her.

Ning Ziqing asked in surprise: "Why are you here?" The other party made a hurried gesture of shushing.

Ning Ziqing said solemnly, "Your Highness, are you used to visiting women's boudoirs at night?" She pulled the bath towel and wrapped it around her chest.

"I just want to come and see you." Huo Yunchue, dressed in black, approached her and leaned over to squat down.

Ning Ziqing turned away and said, "Your Highness, please respect yourself."

Huo Yunchue knew that she was still angry, so he put his hands gently on her cheeks and turned her face so that she was facing him.

"It's my fault. My mother-in-law already knew about us. She didn't want us to be together, so she said those words to you before leaving the palace. Don't take it to heart." He explained softly.

"In this case, what are you doing here, Your Highness?" Ning Ziqing's eyes showed a bit of coldness.

Huo Yunchue's eyes looked at her tenderly, and his voice was a little lower: "I don't want to let go. I will let my mother-in-law change her mind and let her accept you. Give me some more time, okay? Don't be angry with me again." Yes." He stroked her fair and delicate face, trying to ease her mood.

"Your Highness, I cannot bear your love and affection." Ning Ziqing said coldly.

"I know that I have a humble status, and I have an engagement with Qi Langjun. It is reasonable for Concubine Wan to disagree with us being together. I should not deceive myself and wish to be with you." Her eyes were deep and her expression was even darker. cold.

The tone was a little angry: "The previous agreement is over. Your Highness, please go back."

Ning Ziqing calmly took away Huo Yunchue's hand.

She should have known long ago that as the prince, Huo Yunchue's marriage was not his own decision. Even if Su Yanqi broke off the engagement with her, Emperor Yao would not agree to Huo Yunchue marrying her.

She should have figured this out long ago. It's not too late to cut through the mess quickly.

"What are you talking about, Ning Ziqing? Do you want to end your relationship with me again!" Huo Yunchue's expression became sharp, and he stared at Ning Ziqing's face.

"Don't you understand? Your Highness, there is absolutely no possibility between us. Instead of doing this, it's better to break things off as soon as possible!" She said her words harshly, but she felt very sad in her heart. She held back the tears and deliberately gave birth to a wave of anger on her face. Feeling apart.

"I won't allow it!" Huo Yunjue raised her chin domineeringly, anger rising in his heart.

His brows were furrowed, his eyes were blazing, and there was a strong possessiveness in his tone.

"You can only be mine, and I will never let you go. Ning Ziqing, you should give up this idea as soon as possible!"

Ning Ziqing groaned in pain when he pinched her. Huo Yunchue realized that he had lost control and quickly retracted his hand.

"Your Highness, now is not the time for romance. You should think carefully about how to deal with the second prince." Ning Ziqing pulled off the pajamas on the screen.Her eyes were cold and calm, and her face was expressionless.

"You step aside, I need to get dressed!" Ning Ziqing motioned for him to turn around.

Huo Yunjue came back to his senses and looked at her exposed skin, which was as white as snow, as delicate as satin, and had a faint luster.

His Adam's apple rolled a few times, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a surge in his heart.

He couldn't help but feel a hot feeling in his chest and his breathing was a little short.He tried to stay calm, stood up with his head bowed, and tried his best to suppress his desires.

At this time, Yinxiang's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Miss, the hot water is boiled. Can I bring it in for you now?" Both people in the room were shocked, and Huo Yunjue quickly looked around for a hiding place.

When he heard the sound of the door being pushed open, he could only step into the tub in a hurry and submerge his body deeply under the water to avoid being discovered as much as possible.

Ning Ziqing's face froze and she didn't dare to move. She was very angry at Huo Yunjue's actions.

Yinxiang walked to the screen with water, and Ning Ziqing hurriedly called her.

"Yinxiang, put the bucket on the ground for me, and I'll add it myself later." Ning Ziqing felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She forced herself to stay calm, for fear that Yinxiang would notice anything unusual.

"Hurry up and prepare the charcoal fire and handkerchief. I'm going to twist your hair in a moment!" Ning Ziqing ordered, trying to sound as calm and natural as possible.

"Slave, go now. Miss, please get up quickly, don't catch a cold." Yinxiang responded.

"I see."

Ning Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yinxiang closing the door again.

At this time, Huo Yunjue suddenly emerged from the water, splashing water, making Ning Ziqing squint his eyes.His hair was wet and stuck to his forehead, and his face showed a bit of embarrassment and discomfort.

Just now in the water, Ning Ziqing's body had been fully visible to him. Huo Yunjue felt his heart beat faster at this moment. He stared at Ning Ziqing's face, feeling a little hesitant and uneasy, as if he was looking for some response.

Ning Ziqing pursed her lips tightly and stared at him with an indifferent expression. The atmosphere between the two became extremely awkward.

She quickly put on her pajamas in the water, and her water-soaked long skirt clung tightly to her body, highlighting her graceful figure even more.

Huo Yunjue's breathing became rapid and irregular. His mouth felt dry, his mind was confused, and his eyes were filled with lust. Finally, he couldn't help but leaned forward and kissed Ning Ziqing.His lips intertwined with hers, moving slowly at first, then becoming wild and intense.

He held her head, kissed her lips fiercely, and pried open her teeth. Ning Ziqing tried to resist him, but he did not waver.Huo Yunjue's kiss became harder and harder, with a stubborn force and possessiveness, and he kept sucking the fragrance from Ning Ziqing's mouth.

Ning Ziqing was unable to resist, so she could only let him kiss her. His kiss made her feel suffocated, and it also made her feel a soft feeling in her heart. Her thoughts began to drift away, and her mood became a little complicated.

After a long time, Huo Yunjue finally stopped, and Ning Ziqing gently pushed him away.But Huo Yunjue held her hand, gasped and looked at her red face, and then leaned forward to kiss her white neck.

"No, let me go, Huo Yunjue." Ning Ziqing shouted softly.

But Huo Yunjue ignored her request and kissed her lips again.He caressed her cheek and kissed her tenderly, no longer as domineering as before.This time the kiss became more delicate and longer, as if conveying a kind of affection and warmth to her.

Ning Ziqing closed her eyes, her body gradually went limp, and she leaned on the edge of the tub.Huo Yunjue's kiss made her feel waves of heat rushing into her heart, making it difficult for her to extricate herself.

After a while, Huo Yunjue slowly stopped the kiss and stared down at her flushed cheeks.He reached out and stroked the hair on her forehead.

Ning Ziqing frowned, woke up, and instinctively reached out to him, but was held tightly by Huo Yunjue.

"You want to hit me again!" The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his voice was slightly hoarse.

"Get up, I'm cold!" Ning Ziqing glared at him. Only then did Huo Yunjue realize that the water had turned cold. He took out the tub, found a pair of dry clothes and handed them to her.

"Put it on quickly, don't catch a cold."

"Turn around!" Ning Ziqing said coldly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

"I've just read it all!" Huo Yunjue said seriously.

Ning Ziqing glanced at him and turned her face away from him, with a hint of anger in her expression.

"Okay, don't be angry, I'll turn around right away!" Huo Yunjue saw that she was angry and had no choice but to do so.

He turned around and listened carefully to the sound of Ning Ziqing rising from the water behind him and the sound of water dripping on the ground.

Soon after, he felt that Ning Ziqing had changed his clothes, so he turned around again.

"You are all wet. There is no change of clothes here. Be careful of catching a cold. Leave quickly. My maid will be back soon!" Ning Ziqing urged.

"Okay, I'll leave right away." Huo Yunjue agreed. He paused and then twisted his clothes. Water droplets splashed everywhere and wet the ground.

"Don't be angry with me anymore. I've sent people to find Tan Tang. I will find a way to get him to help us. Don't worry." He whispered.

Ning Ziqing was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then said: "I want to go to him personally to talk about Tan Tang's matter. Don't disturb him first, and wait for my notification."

She untied her bun and spread out her long, black hair, then picked up a wooden comb and sat in front of the bronze mirror to comb it.At this moment, she felt soft fingers gently stroking her hair.

Looking back, Huo Yunjue took the wooden comb from her hand and gently combed her hair. His movements were light and gentle, and he stared at her in the bronze mirror with love and doting in his eyes.

A warm current surged in Ning Ziqing's heart, and she couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, is there anyone in the palace who you can lend me?" Ning Ziqing asked casually while looking at Huo Yunjue in the bronze mirror.
