Quick Wear: The first person to love the host

Chapter 415 The Substitute Bride Becomes a Reality (16)

Qi Jinyu felt that it was too presumptuous of him to have illicit relations with his wife in broad daylight, and fearing that his wife would blame him, he secretly slipped away to Doctor Jiang to ask for medicine.

"Old man Jiang, do you have that kind of medicine?"

Although she didn't want to make a fuss, Qi Jinyu couldn't help but smile.

Doctor Jiang was looking down at the medicinal herbs without looking up, and said irritably, "If you don't tell me which herb you want, how am I supposed to know what you need?"

Qi Jinyu paused, touched the tip of her nose, and felt her ears burning slightly. "Well... that kind of thing, my wife and I consummated our marriage last night."

The wedding night? Wait, the wedding night?!

Dr. Jiang suddenly looked up—if he remembered correctly, that 'imperial concubine' was a man!

Seeing the eldest prince, who was usually so decisive and ruthless, now acting like a naive young man experiencing love for the first time, Doctor Jiang thought to himself, "I've never seen anything like this before."

He turned and went into the pharmacy. When he came out, he threw two bottles of ointment at him, saying, "Use the red one beforehand, and the blue one afterward."

In the middle of the night, Qi Jinyu sneaked into the house in the dark.

Su Zi was half asleep when she suddenly felt a chill beneath her.

He opened his eyes and saw a dark figure. His first thought was that it was an assassin. Just as he was about to call for help, a large hand covered his mouth. "Shh, madam, don't shout. It's me."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Su Ziyu paused in her struggle and patted his arm to signal him to let go.

As soon as Qi Jinyu let go, she heard Su Ziyu lower her voice and grit her teeth to ask, "Why are you here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping, acting like a 'flower thief'?"

Qi Jinyu's cheeks flushed, but unfortunately it was too dark in the room for anyone to see. "I was worried that Madam was not feeling well, so I came here to deliver the medicine."

As he spoke, he shook the medicine bottle in his hand.

Su Zi reached out her hand, "Give it to me, I'll apply it myself, you can go now."

Seeing that his wife was ruthlessly dismissing him, Qi Jinyu's eyes flashed, and he deftly put the medicine away. "Madam, it's inconvenient for you to apply it there yourself. Why don't you let your husband do it for you?"

His fingertips, calloused from years of martial arts training, combined with the coolness of the ointment, touched that indescribable spot, instantly causing Su Ziyu to tremble slightly, and soft sobs escaped from her lips.

In the quiet room, the atmosphere suddenly warmed up.

Like a thunderbolt striking the earth, one deliberately provoked the other, and the two half-heartedly gave in, and shamelessly became entangled in each other's arms.

The following day, Su Ziyu developed a fever, as expected.

Doctor Jiang came over with his medicine box, took Su Ziyu's pulse, and wrote a prescription.

He couldn't say anything to the big spender who had just sent him a batch of precious medicinal herbs, so he could only turn to Qi Jinyu and scold her, "The Imperial Concubine is weak, and Your Highness must be moderate in your sexual affairs. You should not drag the Imperial Concubine into fooling around."

The two newlyweds, who had just tasted meat, blushed at the roots of their ears.

After seeing Doctor Jiang off, Su Ziyu glared at Qi Jinyu, but his eyes were as gentle as water, which made Qi Jinyu's heart flutter.

"Ma'am, I was wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Qi Jinyu gazed at his wife's handsome profile and unconsciously licked his lips. "My wife is just too sweet and delicious. I lack self-control and simply cannot resist."

"In broad daylight, you..." Su Ziyu's cheeks flushed with anger.

The maids and servants standing nearby blushed and withdrew with great embarrassment, leaving the two flirtatious lovers alone.

Qi Jinyu personally fed Su Ziyu the medicine, and at the end, he didn't forget to give her a bitter kiss. It was unclear whether he was rewarding Su Ziyu or rewarding himself.

Su Ziyu felt weak all over from the kiss, but she was still thinking about the important matter at hand. "What are your plans to do about the Second Prince?"

After the tender moments, reality must eventually prevail.

The Second Prince, Qi Haolian, is not someone to be trifled with, especially given his high reputation among the civil officials in the capital. Upon his return from the disaster relief mission, the Emperor will surely reward him, and his arrogance will likely only grow stronger.

Qi Jinyu's expression also became more serious. "I have already sent people to rescue Su Miaomiao. Don't worry, I will do everything I can to bring her back. In addition, I will personally go to the Su residence. If necessary, I will have Lord Su agree on a unified story that you are the rightful 'Princess Consort' and that the substitute marriage was just a temporary measure."

Su Ziyu frowned.

Snatching someone from the Second Prince's carriage outside the capital is a risky move. If they are caught red-handed, they could easily turn the tables and accuse Qi Jinyu. In that case, even if Qi Jinyu jumps into the Yellow River, she will never be able to clear her name.

"That's not appropriate. Let me meet with the Second Prince first, and then we'll see how things go."

Qi Jinyu refused without even thinking. His wife was so beautiful and charming; what if that guy Qi Haolian took a fancy to her?

Although Su Ziyu couldn't understand his worries, it didn't stop him from exploiting Qi Jinyu's weakness: "If you don't agree, don't even think about getting into my bed again from now on."

Qi Jinyu: ...

He's so young and full of vigor; he can't live without his wife.

Qi Jinyu had no choice but to compromise, but still insisted that he must choose the meeting place, and that he would intervene immediately if there were any changes.

-

Three days later, the second prince made a high-profile entrance into the capital.

People in the streets and alleys all knew that he had returned from disaster relief and lined the streets to welcome him. They praised his "benevolent character" and "talent for governing the country," and his reputation soared.

Qi Haolian remained humble yet assertive throughout, and went directly to the palace to meet the emperor. The emperor was overjoyed, bestowed upon him many gifts, and granted him a substantive position that allowed him to attend court and participate in discussions.

When he returned to his residence, a servant handed him a note.

He raised an eyebrow after reading it, clearly not surprised by the result. "Let's go to Lianyan Pavilion."

Lianyan Pavilion.

Su Miaomiao was sitting by the window, lost in thought.

In her past life, she was ordered to marry the eldest prince, but he was diagnosed with madness. To prevent her from suffering on the frontier, her brother not only squandered the family fortune but also died tragically in the capital.

In order to avenge her brother, she was misled by the second prince and falsely accused the eldest prince of treason.

She thought he could help her fake her death and escape, but unexpectedly, she was strangled to death by his men with a white silk ribbon, which was then disguised as suicide.

Having been reborn, she no longer wishes to be involved in the power struggles of the imperial court.

So she lured Xunlang to elope with her, thinking she could run away with him, but Xunlang died tragically, her brother was forced to marry in his place, and she was taken back to the capital by the second prince and became a pawn to threaten her brother.

His circumstances were even worse than in his previous life.

Thinking of the Second Prince Qi Haolian, Su Miaomiao quietly clenched her hand on the table.

She hates it!!!

I hate this hypocrite who feigns benevolence and righteousness; I will make him pay for his crimes in this life.

She was determined to make Qi Haolian, that hypocrite, suffer a terrible death.

"Miss Su, His Highness has arrived," a maid announced from outside the door.

Su Miaomiao quickly concealed the hatred in her eyes, put on a gentle and obedient expression, and stood up to greet Your Highness at the door.

Seeing the beauty so obedient, Qi Haolian's heart stirred. He reached out and took her arm, his face still showing a gentle smile. "Miaomiao, I have already said that you do not need to bow when you see me in the future."

Su Miaomiao stood up and said, "Your Highness, etiquette must not be disregarded."

Knowing her stubborn nature, Qi Haolian could only sigh softly, then took her arm and led her into the inner room. The maidservant served tea and quietly withdrew.

Qi Haolian took a few sips of tea, chatted casually about trivial matters, and finally got to the point, "Miaomiao, would you like to see your brother?"

Su Miaomiao looked up upon hearing this, "Brother? Your Highness has contacted brother?"
