However, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel that the princess's mouth seems a bit bigger than before. Is it because she has been crying too much or because something has stretched it?

But I haven't prepared similar food for her recently.

"Dong'er, go and prepare, I need to take a bath and change." Princess Jin twisted her body, feeling sticky and uncomfortable all over for some reason.

"yes."

...

After Zu'an carried the Princess of Jin back to her boudoir, he returned to the mourning hall.

Thinking about the absurdity of what had just happened, I felt a little dazed.

The two of them seemed to be possessed, their reason completely gone.

Suddenly, a thought struck him. After his desires were completely released, he became exceptionally rational and clear-headed.

This is not normal!

He looked around, then suddenly sniffed the air and his gaze fell on the small piece of incense ash remaining in the incense burner.

He walked over, rubbed it between his fingers, and then smelled it.

"Forget-me-not rosemary?"

There are related records in the "Baopu Zhenjing" (The True Classic of Embracing Simplicity). I never expected that this almost lost book would reappear in the world.

Those who are exposed to this incense will forget what happened before, but some lingering images will remain, and they will only think that they had just had a dream.

It is truly the most exquisite herb in the world of flower picking, and countless people with impure motives dream of obtaining it.

However, this medicine is extremely difficult to make, the recipe has been lost, and it requires rare and exotic ingredients.

The man who created this medicine was a genius in the world of alchemy, but unfortunately he did not use his skills for good.

His preferences were particularly strange; he didn't like young girls, but preferred married women.

With this drug, he slept with many famous and beautiful women in the martial arts world, and afterwards, they had no idea what had happened.

During the day, he could be on friendly terms with other women's husbands, but at night he would drug the couple and take their place.

They lived like this for several years, like gods, but eventually the truth came out.

There was a famous couple in the martial arts world. Her husband, due to an accident, could still have sex with his wife, but he was unable to have children. Neither of them made this known to the public.

The carefree young man was unaware of this, and in the end, the lady became pregnant.

Upon learning of this, the husband flew into a rage, and the wife was dumbfounded. After some investigation, they finally focused their attention on the carefree young man.

This incident finally came to light, and countless aggrieved parties angrily pursued and killed him. In the end, the Forget-Worry Gentleman died a tragic death, and his Forget-Worry Rosemary was lost forever.

"How could this thing be here?" Zu An frowned.

Suddenly remembering the unusual behavior of the Prince of Dai before, he realized with a start that it was him.

He stood before the coffin, looking down at the Prince of Jin inside. His face was ashen, and perhaps due to the reflection of the surrounding cold jade, his entire body seemed to glow with a faint green light, making him appear extremely fierce.

Zu An sighed: "Speaking of which, you are pitiful. You were used and lost your life without even realizing it. As a result, your brother had already set his sights on your sister-in-law right after you died."

"Don't blame me. Even without me, someone else would be bullying Princess Jin here today. In a way, I did save her once."

"This is Forget-Me-Not Rosemary, which was given to you by your brother, the Prince of Dai. This medicine does have one advantage: afterwards, the Princess of Jin will not remember what just happened. In her heart, she will still be the good wife who lived in harmony with you."

"I will help you protect her, and I will also find the mastermind behind this, which will be a way to avenge you."

...

Perhaps because of what he said, the fierce expression on the Prince of Jin's face in the coffin softened considerably.

Zu An turned and left. After leaving, he instructed Dai Laoqi and Chen Laoba: "You take men and guard the Prince of Jin's residence. Protect the Princess of Jin well, and pay special attention to the Prince of Dai. Do not let him approach the Princess of Jin alone."

Dai Laoqi and Chen Laoba were taken aback, somewhat puzzled but not daring to ask: "Yes!"

Zu An paused for a moment: "In addition, send people to investigate who is targeting the He family, the maternal family of Princess Jin. Protect the He family and find out who is behind this."

"yes!"

Zu An glanced back at the direction of Princess Jin's room, thinking that today's whole thing was a mistake, and it would be better for her to treat it as a dream and forget about it.

With his mind made up, he resolutely plunged into the darkness and left the Prince of Jin's residence.

After he left, Dai Laoqi and Chen Laoba couldn't help but whisper among themselves:

"Why do you think the Grand Commander is taking such good care of that Princess Jin? Could it be that he's taken a liking to her?"

"Hehe, that Princess Jin is pretty and charming, especially her mouth, which is exactly the cherry lips described in books. I have never seen such delicate lips and eyebrows before. Moreover, she has a pitiful and charming temperament. Any man who sees her would feel protective of her."

"But she's a princess, after all, what if..."

"These are things we should be considering; we should just follow orders."

At this moment, in the inner courtyard of Prince Jin's residence, steam rose from the water. Princess Jin lay in the bathtub, looking at the red marks on her fair body, her expression momentarily bewildered: "Was that... really a dream?"
