"Your Ladyship, there's no need for you to be angry. The Emperor still has you in his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come over to greet you," Qingcao said, trying to console Si Junlin, thinking that he was angry because the Emperor had left, as she saw his furious expression.
Si Junlin simply replied with a soft "hmm" without saying whether he agreed or not. This made Qingcao even more unable to figure out her master's inner emotions.
After Su Wan'er went to Concubine Xi's palace, she resorted to her old trick and drugged her.
However, she didn't know if it was because Concubine Xi hadn't had enough last time, but this time she actually used the rare Western Region incense, the silver - thread incense.
The effect of this thing was no less powerful than the hallucinogenic drug in Su Wan'er's hand. Concubine Xi was trapped in a hallucination, and Su Wan'er wasn't feeling much better either. After she returned to her room, she only felt a burning sensation all over her body...
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Fang Xi asked worriedly when he saw that Su Wan'er was obviously not normal, with a blushing face.
"I'm fine. Go and invite the Empress," Su Wan'er told him.
"Yes," Fang Xi nodded in agreement.
Before long, Si Junlin was escorted in by Qingcao and the others.
"Send them out," Su Wan'er said. Despite her efforts to control herself, her voice was gradually turning hoarse.
Si Junlin could tell something was wrong from her voice. Without caring about anything else, he waved his hand to dismiss Qingcao and the others, closed the door behind him, and then quickly walked into the inner chamber.
Seeing the person sitting on the bed, looking extremely restrained with a blushing face, Si Junlin, even though he had never experienced it before, knew that Su Wan'er had been drugged with an aphrodisiac.
"Are you okay?" Si Junlin asked with concern.
He thought he was concerned about his own body, but who knew that when he saw his own face at this moment, he always felt that it wasn't his own face but Su Wan'er's.
In other words, at this moment, rather than caring about his own body, it would be more accurate to say that he was concerned about Su Wan'er.
It was just that he himself hadn't realized it yet.
He quickly walked to Su Wan'er's side and reached out to hold her arm. "What's wrong with you?"
Su Wan'er shook her head. After taking a few deep breaths, she managed to speak with difficulty. "Put your hand on my back and then focus your attention on your dantian."
Although Si Junlin didn't know why, he still did as she said.
Su Wan'er originally thought that internal energy would soon flow into her body. However, she waited and waited. As the heat wave in her body became more and more uncontrollable, she still didn't feel the internal energy coming.
"Your Majesty?" Su Wan'er couldn't hold it in anymore and turned to look at the person behind her.
This turn made a look of amusement flash across her eyes.
The Emperor had his eyes closed, his head slightly lowered, looking extremely serious as if he was searching for something. Su Wan'er said helplessly, "Well, follow my movements and feel it."
Taking a deep breath, Su Wan'er suppressed the surging heat wave, and then moved her fingers on Si Junlin's body.
Following Su Wan'er's movements, Si Junlin soon felt a stream of air flowing in his body.
As it flowed, the internal energy gradually concentrated in his hands.
Just then, Su Wan'er raised her hand and placed it against his palm.
"Transfer your internal energy into my body," Su Wan'er told him.
With Su Wan'er's guidance, Si Junlin could now freely control the internal energy in Su Wan'er's body.
He did as Su Wan'er said and transferred his internal energy into her body.
When the familiar internal energy entered her body, a look of relief flashed across Su Wan'er's eyes. She tried to control her own internal energy and then used this energy to suppress the heat wave in her body.
The two of them stayed in the imperial bedroom all night. It wasn't until it was almost time for the morning court that Su Wan'er finally recovered.
She was fine, but for Si Junlin, who was using internal energy for the first time, he was so tired that he could barely keep his eyes open.
"Your Majesty, if you're tired, go and rest first," Su Wan'er said. After helping Si Junlin to rest in the room and tucking him in, she turned and left.
Si Junlin was really exhausted. After giving a faint look at the closed door, he fell into a deep sleep.
After a long time, he suddenly felt a tickling sensation in his nose. It seemed as if something was teasing his nose.
He was extremely sleepy and too lazy to open his eyes. He waved his hand to brush away the thing on his nose and then continued to sleep.
However, his peace didn't last long. The itching on his nose came back again.
Helpless, he had no choice but to open his eyes unhappily.
"Are you awake?" A teasing look flashed across Su Wan'er's eyes.
Si Junlin was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his aching head. His voice was tinged with a bit of annoyance. "What's going on?"
"Nothing. I just came to tell you that it's time for your lunch," Su Wan'er said seriously.
As soon as Si Junlin sat up, he felt a sense of weakness all over his body.
Su Wan'er reached out to help him up and led him to the table. "It's your first time using internal energy. It's normal that you don't know how to allocate it properly. You'll get better once you're used to it."
"Okay," Si Junlin nodded casually.
Su Wan'er was just casually consoling him. She didn't care what he thought. She sat down opposite him and started eating her lunch on her own.
By now, the two of them had gotten used to having lunch without the need for servants to wait on them.
After Si Junlin was about 80% full, his mind regained some clarity. He hesitated for a moment and finally said to Su Wan'er, "Wan'er."
Su Wan'er trembled violently and almost choked on the food in her mouth.
After swallowing the food, Su Wan'er replied to Si Junlin, "What is it, Your Majesty?"
"I also want to learn internal energy," Si Junlin said, looking seriously at Su Wan'er.
"Then... just learn it if you want to," Su Wan'er didn't quite understand Si Junlin's meaning. Didn't he already have internal energy in his body? Why did he still need to learn?
Si Junlin of course knew that there was internal energy in his body, but he had his own reasons for saying this.
"I hope that you can also have internal energy in this body. You should understand what I mean, right?" He stared intently at Su Wan'er.
Su Wan'er bit her chopsticks and said hesitantly, "You mean you hope that I can cultivate internal energy in your body?"
Si Junlin nodded slightly. "Yes. I found that internal energy is really useful last night."
"It's possible... but it's best to start cultivating internal energy from a young age. If you start now, the effect may be much worse," Su Wan'er said hesitantly.
