Chapter 164

Qiao Suisui fell into the cold water, her hair dancing in the water.

Splashes flew everywhere, and the cold touch instantly surrounded her whole body, as if locked by an invisible ice chain. Her lungs were immediately stung by the intense chill, and she was almost suffocated. Her ears were filled with the roaring sound of water, mixed with her chaotic heartbeat, as if the whole world had become blurred and distant.

She struggled to swim upward, but the system could only keep her conscious for a short time. The effect of the drug surged through her limbs and bones, and the resistance of the water made every movement of hers seem slow and powerless, until finally, she couldn't move at all.

Qiao Suisui closed her eyes powerlessly, waiting to trigger the system's passive defense mechanism, but the next second she felt someone holding her. The other person supported her waist and kept bringing her to the surface.

She wanted to open her eyes to see, but she couldn't open them no matter what.

Ka'er held her and surfaced, using both hands to support her waist and lift her to the ground. Zongfang had already arrived by then and immediately took her into his arms, holding her tightly.

"Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao, don't scare me."

Luka and Laiboli rushed over. Luka quickly took off his coat and wrapped it around her. "Let's go back first!"

Laiboli immediately stood up and ordered the guards to detain everyone in BLACK. "If anything happens to her, I want all of you to be buried with her."

Ka'er had already opened a black hole. Zongfang walked into the black hole without stopping for a second, holding her, and the other men followed closely behind.

Almost in the blink of an eye, they returned to the Imperial Court. Laiboli called the entire medical team, servants filled the bathtub with hot water, and the kitchen prepared ginger soup to drive away the cold.

Zongfang kept holding her, not letting go for a moment. Any medical staff who approached would have their legs go weak from his pressure.

Luka frowned and said, "If you keep holding her like this, she'll catch a cold."

Zongfang was panicked and confused, forgetting that she was soaked through. His embrace loosened a bit. Ka'er, ignoring that he was still wet himself, stepped forward directly, wrapped her in a bath towel, and changed her out of her wet clothes.

Luka told Zongfang to withdraw his pressure and nodded to the medical team. Several doctors immediately surrounded them.

Several people took turns checking, and finally confirmed it again, looking at each other.

"What exactly is going on!" Laiboli asked anxiously.

Zongfang had also lost his last bit of patience; his expression was like a precursor to murder.

The doctor was sluggish after the shock and said, "Miss Qiao should have been drugged. This kind of drug makes people weak and has... has aphrodisiac effects. However, however..."

Luka's brows were furrowed tightly. "However what?"

"However, Miss Qiao... she is pregnant."

"What did you say?"

The men's expressions were different. Ka'er was stunned in place, Laiboli smiled sadly after coming back to his senses, and Luka lowered his eyes, feeling the blood in his body flowing backward.

Zongfang's brain went *buzz*, and for a moment he couldn't hear anything. His hands trembled as he hugged her tighter.

The medical team left to prepare medicine, and there was a silence in the room. No one spoke.

Laiboli raised his eyes again, his sharp gaze shooting straight at Zongfang. He wanted to step forward but was stopped by Luka.

"We'll talk about anything later. Sui Sui hasn't woken up yet." Laiboli looked at Luka, gritting his teeth to suppress the anger in his heart.

Ka'er ran his hand through his hair. At this moment, his black shirt was stuck to his body, and he was still dripping water, but his brain was clearer than usual. He instantly understood why she hadn't been willing to go that far with him before.

He raised his head and laughed at himself, then went back to his room to change clothes without saying a word.

Laiboli didn't want to see Zongfang's face, so he turned and went out, intending to interrogate those people himself and ask them how they dared to drug his Empress. And that Yishabeier who always caused trouble, she actually dared to take her to such a place.

It turned out that after Qiao Suisui left with Yishabeier, Zongfang had been restless. He interrogated Adele and finally learned that the two might have gone to such a place. He was so angry his teeth itched, and just as he was about to go out to find her, he saw Luka walking over quickly.

In Zongfang's impression, this man was always methodical, and he rarely saw such a chaotic situation, unless... Zongfang's heart tightened, and then he indeed heard him mention something related to Qiao Suisui.

Yishabeier posted photos on the Nebula, showing a bunch of males and females dancing wildly. Luka was afraid she would lead Qiao Suisui astray, so he came to confirm, and as a result, he confirmed that she had indeed taken her to such a place.

The two men quickly woke up the sleeping Ka'er, called Laiboli, and went straight to the scene. They were originally prepared to teach her a lesson so she wouldn't go to just any place in the future. Ka'er came with the mentality of learning, wanting to see what kind of flirtatious man had hooked her. But they didn't expect the situation to be more serious than they imagined; Qiao Suisui was actually forced to jump into the swimming pool to escape.

At this time, only Luka and Zongfang were left in the palace. Luka's expression didn't change much, but if you looked closely, you would find the veins on his forehead bulging, and his whole body exuded an aura that kept strangers away.

He stepped forward to take Qiao Suisui from Zongfang's arms. Zongfang didn't let go, and the two men confronted each other silently, but both were extremely careful to restrain the strength in their hands.

"I'll take her to take a bath, your clothes are also wet, it's best not to touch her at this time." Luka's voice was like solid ice, unyielding.

Zongfang frowned, the sharpness in his silver eyes hidden in an instant.

He knew Luka was right; holding her while wet would easily make her sick. She was in her pregnancy period now and couldn't take medicine; if she got sick, it would be very troublesome.

The veins on his forearms holding Qiao Suisui bulged. He held out for a long time with the man opposite him, and finally let go slowly.

Luka didn't look at him at all, gently picked her up horizontally, and walked toward the bathroom.

Zongfang stood in place, dazed, looking at the closed bathroom door, his expression unreadable.

Inside the bathroom, Luka carefully placed her in the bathtub. The water temperature was just right. He watched her soak for a while, ensuring that the cold in her body had all run away, before taking out a bath towel to dry her body. Just then, Qiao Suisui woke up. The feeling of weakness faded slightly, followed by a chaotic fire wandering in her body. She felt a stickiness in her lower body and groaned uncomfortably.

"Luka... I'm uncomfortable..."

She climbed onto the man's neck, trying to get his comfort. Every time she did this, Luka would comfort her; he had never refused her.

But this time, Luka didn't move.

He just held the bath towel quietly, letting her climb onto his shoulders, listening to her weak gasps.

It was the same the first time, in the bathtub, she hugged him, saying things he didn't understand at the time, making his heart sink again and again.

"Bad woman."

Luka spat out three words gently, as if talking to himself.

Qiao Suisui didn't hear clearly. In fact, she couldn't spare the consciousness to listen to what he said now. She held Luka's face with both hands, her eyes somewhat blurred.

"Luka, why don't you hug me?"
