Chapter 56 A Dream That Can't Be Seen
Jiang Qingyan took the mung bean cake and pretended not to care, saying, "Yu Xuan, just tell me. I have plenty of money. Lend me whatever you want."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yuxuan was speechless. He was, after all, a prince; how could he be so poor that he had to borrow money from others?
Yun Yuxuan coughed lightly, pressing his fist to his lips, and whispered in Jiang Qingyan's ear, "I want you to use a curse on my father and mother..."
Jiang Qingyan's heart skipped a beat. Haha! This kid actually believed her nonsense!
Jiang Qingyan tried hard to hide her excitement and said seriously, "Stop! Those are the Emperor and Empress! If we're found out, even ten heads wouldn't be enough to chop them off..."
Yun Yuxuan quickly grabbed Jiang Qingyan's hand, his face full of sincerity, and said, "We won't be discovered. Seven days from now is Mother's birthday. On that day, I will bring you to the palace. After the banquet, I will stay in the palace under the pretense of being drunk. When it's late at night, we will sneak into Father and Mother's palace and use the Gu poison on them..."
Jiang Qingyan's lips twitched slightly, feigning difficulty: "This... will it work?"
"I, Yun Yuxuan, swear that I will protect Yan Qing with my life!" Yun Yuxuan was a little anxious, and his eyes were red.
He confessed, "Actually, I am the least favored prince in the Xia Kingdom. My two older brothers were born to concubines, and my mother used forbidden drugs in the palace to conceive me in order to secure her position as empress... My father is very bothered by this, and he is not only very cold to me, but also ignores my mother..."
His voice grew increasingly choked with emotion, "If I hadn't pretended to be obsessed with men and neglect state affairs, I would probably have been killed by those two brothers long ago... I don't care about other people's strange looks; I could have just lived out my days in this way. But I don't want my mother to die of depression..."
Jiang Qingyan's lips twitched. So Yun Yuxuan was a pitiful person after all... However, that King Xia was indeed no good either. This time, besides retrieving the Snow Silkworm, she also needed to thoroughly investigate the strength of the Xia Kingdom...
Jiang Qingyan gently patted Yun Yuxuan's back and comforted him, "Don't be sad, I promise you. I can't stand seeing a beautiful woman sad."
After saying that, she took the opportunity to touch Yun Yuxuan's handsome face with its distinct features.
Jiang Qingyan's eyes lit up. Wow! This skin is so smooth! The prince's hands are so nice! Smooth hands, even smoother face! If I were to kiss him, how soft it would be...
Thinking it over, she leaned in and planted a big kiss on Yun Yuxuan's lips!
Yun Yuxuan's eyes widened in shock. Although he often frequented Qingfeng Pavilion, he only went there to gather intelligence and hadn't done anything else... This... was his first kiss!
Seeing that Yun Yuxuan didn't dodge, Jiang Qingyan went a step further, directly capturing his lips in her mouth, her tongue tentatively probing inside...
Yun Yuxuan's heart pounded wildly, but for some reason, he couldn't move. He desperately wanted to get away, but he could only stand there, frozen in place, letting Jiang Qingyan invade his territory...
Jiang Qingyan's kiss deepened until Yun Yuxuan's lips began to burn. He responded to Jiang Qingyan gently, even though his kissing skills were quite clumsy.
A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Qingyan's eyes, then she smiled with satisfaction and patiently guided him step by step...
Feeling the heat emanating from Yun Yuxuan, Jiang Qingyan slowly withdrew from the kiss, leaned down and took his Adam's apple into her mouth, sucking a red hickey.
Yun Yuxuan felt a tingling sensation all over his body and couldn't help but groan.
Jiang Qingyan sat back down in her seat, took a sip of tea, and smiled faintly, "It seems Yu Xuan didn't lie to me."
Yun Yuxuan's emotions had not yet calmed down, and his face was still slightly flushed. When he suddenly heard Jiang Qingyan say this, he pursed his lips and asked in confusion, "What?"
Jiang Qingyan handed Yun Yuxuan a cup of tea, her gaze fixed intently on him. "You said you went to Qingfeng Pavilion just to pretend you were obsessed with men, and I believe you, because your kissing skills are really terrible..."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yuxuan instantly spat out the tea he had just taken a sip of. That was too much… She stole his first kiss and then said his kissing skills were bad…
Jiang Qingyan frowned, picked up a handkerchief to wipe the tea off her clothes, and complained, "Is it really necessary? You've soaked my clothes."
Seeing that the tea stains wouldn't dry, Jiang Qingyan simply took off her outer garment, walked barefoot to the bed, and lay down.
She shifted to the inside of the bed to make room, beckoned to Yun Yuxuan, and said lazily, "It's still early, Yuxuan, come and sleep with me for a while. We'll go to Qingfeng Pavilion together tonight."
Yun Yuxuan felt conflicted. Could it be that she... wanted to take him like this?
Seeing Yun Yuxuan's complicated expression, Jiang Qingyan chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't touch you. At most, I'll just kiss you. It'll be a way to help you practice your kissing skills so that people won't laugh at you on your wedding night."
Hearing Jiang Qingyan's mockery again, Yun Yuxuan was speechless, but he also obediently walked to the bedside and lay down next to Jiang Qingyan.
Jiang Qingyan pulled Yun Yuxuan's arm over and rested it on her head. Then she turned to her side and lay on his chest, gently closing her eyes and falling asleep quickly.
Seeing the person in his arms sleeping so soundly, Yun Yuxuan felt a sense of satisfaction. Could this be the feeling that his mother had always longed for?
Unbeknownst to them, Yun Yuxuan had also fallen into a deep sleep, following Jiang Qingyan's even breathing.
He hadn't slept so soundly in a long time; he even started dreaming…
In his dream, his father and mother were holding hands, sitting on a high throne, witnessing his wedding with kind faces…
Upon arriving at the bridal chamber, he excitedly lifted the veil, only to discover that his queen was none other than Yan Qing…
Yan Qing, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, was gazing at him with tender affection. Before he could react, she pulled him onto the bed, pinned him down, and passionately kissed him…
Their clothes were completely removed in the passionate kiss; their bodies were burning hot, and they possessed each other frantically until they were utterly exhausted…
"Yu Xuan, wake up! Why are you so hot?" Jiang Qingyan propped herself up on one arm and touched Yun Yu Xuan's burning cheek with the other hand, calling his name hurriedly.
Yun Yuxuan shuddered violently, his mind going blank for a moment... A moment later, he heard someone calling his name again, and slowly woke up from his dream...
The moment he opened his eyes, he met Jiang Qingyan's anxious gaze. Only then did Yun Yuxuan realize that he had just... had such a shameful dream...
Seeing that Yun Yuxuan had finally woken up, Jiang Qingyan breathed a long sigh of relief and then reached out her sleeve to wipe his sweat. "You scared me to death just now. I thought you had a fever!"
After saying that, she lifted the blanket again, thinking of letting Yun Yuxuan cool off his sweat...
Jiang Qingyan paused for a moment, then quickly turned her head away, pretending not to see, and pulled the blanket back over herself. She stammered, "Um... I just realized... you shouldn't be exposed to drafts after sweating... it's easy to catch a cold..."
