"Get up."

Mi Shan casually held the crow, letting it hop around on her arm and shoulder.

In the darkness of night,

The raven's red eyes gleamed with an eerie light.

"This old servant dares not, I'd better kneel. What are your orders, Your Highness?"

Granny Lin's voice trembled.

He recalled the fear of being controlled by Mi Shan.

He kept his head bowed, not daring to look up.

"Lin Qin, do you still remember the first time you saw me? You looked like you'd seen a ghost."

I've been quite puzzled lately.

Not just you,

They all looked at me with surprised expressions.

Do you know why?

"This old servant does not know."

"lie!"

Mi Shan spoke sternly.

The crow on the shoulder jumped up.

It flew to Granny Lin's shoulder and pecked her head hard.

It pecked her hair into a mess in an instant.

Terrified, Granny Lin waved her hand to shoo them away, repeatedly kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"I was wrong, Your Majesty. I said, the reason they acted this way is probably because Your Majesty looks like someone else!"

"who?"

"The Crown Princess! The late Crown Princess!"

"Is her name Lou'er?"

Mi Shan was slightly startled.

Actually, she had already guessed it.

I'm just not sure.

Unexpectedly,

That's really true.

Li Shengyuan would choose her to enter the palace, bestow upon her the title of Jieyu, and shower her with affection.

It must be because of her face, which is so similar to that of the late Crown Princess!

"This old servant does not know what the Crown Princess's name is."

But I still want to remind Your Majesty of something.

In the future, when you are outside,

Never mention it again, and definitely don't say the word "basket".

Otherwise, if His Majesty finds out, he will be furious!

"What? Isn't she His Majesty's most beloved woman?"

Mi Shan frowned.

"Even though she has been gone for so long, to still keep her in one's heart must be extraordinary."

"I don't know. This old servant dares not presume to know Your Majesty's intentions."

I only met her a few times when I served Consort Ru in the palace.

A glint flashed in Granny Lin's eyes.

Her face was contorted, making it impossible to discern her expression.

"Then tell me, what kind of woman is she?"

Mi Shan didn't feel jealous, after all, she didn't like the emperor.

I just find it strange; how could there be such a coincidence in this world?

"The Crown Princess is a very good person, very gentle, and very beautiful."

Speaking of the Crown Princess,

A hint of nostalgia and longing seemed to appear on Granny Lin's face.

No matter how much useful information,

But it's gone.

Mi Shan waved her hand, signaling her to go back.

This bamboo grove was the place she and Granny Lin had agreed upon.

Once a month, crows fly by as messengers.

She will help her detoxify here.

If there is an emergency, you can call her.

But the time for detoxification hasn't come yet.

Granny Lin bowed respectfully and then withdrew.

Mi Shan walked out of the bamboo forest.

Ah Chan tacitly refrained from asking any questions.

They simply escorted her back to Yu Furong.

He dismissed the servants.

Mi Shan prepared to rest.

As they removed their clothes one by one, they suddenly noticed something amiss and looked up.

A dark figure was lying on the beam at some unknown time.

Li Changyu changed his position and sat on the crossbeam.

His hand rested on his bent knee.

His dark eyes gazed at her silently.

"Where did you go?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

Mi Shan quickly picked up the clothes she had taken off and wrapped them around her chest.

Li Changyu's cold eyes flickered slightly.

He rolled over and got off the beam.

He strode straight up to her.

"What are you doing? Get out."

Mi Shan blushed, suddenly remembering that kiss from last time.

He always manages to catch you in these awkward moments.

I'm still a little angry thinking about it.

"You scoundrel, you hide in a girl's room all day long. A grown man like you, aren't you ashamed?"

Upon hearing this...

Li Changyu stopped in his tracks, his breathing gradually becoming deeper.

I gaze intently at her.

What did you do to me today?

"What? I didn't do anything!"

"Stop lying." Li Changyu's face turned cold. "You blush when you lie. And you speak faster."

"Don't look at me like that. Even if I did it, you started it first."

Mi Shan pursed her lips.

Subconsciously, I lowered my eyes and glanced at my wrist.

The red line above is gradually climbing towards the heart.

It's already up to the elbow.

"Today is the seventh day, there are three more days."

"So?" Li Changyu seemed not to understand what she was saying, his calm eyes swirling with unspoken tension.

"Did you put a spell on me? I can always smell a strange fragrance on you."

Mi Shan blinked, startled, and quickly raised her hand to cover her neck.

The fragrance then faded a bit.

Li Changyu's breathing gradually became steady.

"It seems you've finally figured it out."

Same here, you poisoned me.

I will then cast a spell on you.

heart-eating worm,

"One for you, one for me."

"On the seventh day after the Gu worm is planted, it will be fully mature, allowing you to smell each other's unique scents, which can easily arouse emotions," Mi Shan said.

"Then why don't you react to me?"

"Because I took the antidote, which temporarily suppressed my desires."

"If you don't believe me, raise your hand and see if there's a red line."

Li Changyu rolled up his sleeve to look, and sure enough, there was a thin red line, which he hadn't been sure what it was before.
