Nangong Yi cut her off, his gaze resolute, giving her no room to object.
Cai Wei closed her mouth.
Until she found herself unable to refuse him, and also, having two more useful people by her side was always beneficial. Who knew when they might come in handy!
She lay quietly for a while, preserving her energy before she asked: "Has the banquet ended yet? I just left like that, will the Empress blame me?"
Nangong Yi turned and picked up the teapot from the small table, pouring a cup of hot tea. He helped Cai Wei up from the couch, half hugged her in his arms, and brought the teacup to her lips.
"It’s not over yet, I have already sent someone to inform my Imperial Mother, you needn’t worry."
Cai Wei, with Nangong Yi’s hand, took a sip and sighed, "Ah, I was intending to turn hostility into friendship with your mother during this palace visit. Little did I know that things would escalate to this point, now, your mother must despise me!"
Nangong Yi chuckled, his captivating eyes full of teasing.
"What, are you scared?"
"Yes, I’m very scared. I’m a mere commoner who has offended the high and mighty Empress Dowager. She could wipe me out with a single word, how could I possibly not be afraid?"
Upon hearing her say this, Nangong Yi’s smile grew even brighter.
"Have you ever thought about finding a powerful patron to guard and protect you from the Empress Dowager’s persecution?"
Cai Wei shot him a disdainful look and said grumpily: "You have the nerve to say that? It is all your fault that I’m on her hit list, protecting me is your duty, a responsibility you ought to bear!"
"Alright, from now on, you are my responsibility. I will surely take it upon myself to protect you, letting nobody bully you."
Nangong Yi spoke with a smile; his eyes filled with affection.
"Hmph, at least you still have some conscience!"
Cai Wei ’hmphed’ and turned away, letting off steam by giving him a slap upside the head.
The little girl was showing her temper at him!
Nangong Yi was not annoyed at all. On the contrary, he felt delighted to see her express her genuine emotions in front of him. He stayed lying comfortably on the couch, watching her attractive side face while massaging her stomach with his arm.
At the moment she fainted earlier, her stomach was cold as if an ice pack had been applied. After the acupuncture by Female Doctor Dou, it started to feel better. He also put a lot of his true qi into her body and massaged her for a long time, her stomach had now become soft and warm.
His voice was low while he gazed at her charming, undulating curves. His body gradually warmed up, he slowly moved closer, held her tightly in his arms, and began to caress her.
Cai Wei blushed instantly. The doctor was still there, and he was being so uninhibited. The shameless man!
She elbowed him hard in his chest muscles and spat out: "Get out of the way!"
To Nangong Yi, her elbow punch was as trivial as being kicked by a mosquito that did not affect his mood at all. He continued to explore her body with curiosity and excitement.
Female Doctor Dou sat aside and said seriously: "Your Highness King Qin, it is not suitable for the girl to have sexual intercourse during her menstruation period. It can harm her body. Moreover, menstrual blood can enter your body, which is also bad for you. If you wish to spoil the girl, why not wait until three days later when her period is over? It’s the best time for her to get pregnant. Maybe she will get pregnant immediately after you make love!"
Nangong Yi’s face showed a touch of puzzlement. He obviously didn’t understand what the doctor meant.
Menstrual blood ... Why would it enter his body? He knew he must inquire further about these mysteries from the girl.
Cai Wei, however, understood it clearly. She felt deeply embarrassed and wished she could find a crevice in the ground to hide in.
Being a modern woman, her thoughts and ideas were different from Nangong Yi’s. She saw Female Doctor Dou as an independent individual with her own thoughts and conscience, and she couldn’t behave intimately with Nangong Yi in front of her, which made her feel ashamed.
To Nangong Yi, his servants were no more different than talking kittens and puppies. Their feelings could be completely ignored. He even thought that on the night he marries the girl, he would seek guidance from an experienced old maid to instruct him what to do, so as not to embarrass himself due to his inexperience!
