Chapter 627: The Deposed Princess Strikes Back at the Female General 74

Yuwen Yi didn't even turn his head and said coldly: "Get out! This king doesn't need anyone to serve him!"

The palace maid did not leave, but stood beside Yuwen Yi holding the food box. She was dressed quite plainly, with only a silver hairpin on her head. When she lowered her head, half of her snow-white breasts were exposed, which were round and full, and quite proud.

"Your Highness has been fighting outside for many years, and your health has been damaged. I specially selected the best medicinal herbs and boiled them for a day to make this bowl of nourishing soup. Your Highness, please do me the honor of trying it."

The palace maid brought out the tonic soup and fed it to Yuwen Yi's mouth with a spoon.

Yuwen Yi smelled a faint fragrance. He didn't know when incense was lit in the room, which made him drowsy. He pushed the palace maid away, picked up the teacup and extinguished the incense burner. He cast a gloomy look on the palace maid, as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

"Who told you to light incense? Get out!"

The palace maid had no time to flirt with him. The rumors that Prince Yi was cruel and bloodthirsty were indeed true. She was so beautiful, but Prince Yi looked at her as if she were a dead person.

If she had known earlier, she would not have burned the incense. She just wanted to stimulate the effect of the medicine quickly, but instead aroused Prince Yi's vigilance.

The palace maid fell to her knees with a plop, tears in her eyes. She was trembling with fear, and her chest was shaking a few times.

"Your Highness, spare me! I was just worried that Your Highness would not sleep well at night, so I lit the calming incense. I wanted to nourish Your Highness, so I made the nourishing soup. Concubine Jiang asked me to serve Your Highness well. I was stupid and made Your Highness unhappy as soon as I came. I deserve to die!"

Yuwen Yi sat back down and stared coldly at the maid on the ground, his eyes full of scrutiny, "Are you from Lanyue Palace? Did my mother ask you to come?"

The maid nodded repeatedly, "I am Yanzhi, a second-class maid in Lanyue Palace. Concubine Jiang sent me to serve Your Highness. The last time Your Highness went to the palace to visit Concubine Jiang, it was I who served her tea. The Concubine kept all the good things for Your Highness, and she served the best West Lake Longjing tea."

"The Queen has always been reluctant to spend the money that His Highness left for Her Highness, and has kept it all for His Highness. Her Highness said that she wants to buy a house for His Highness in the capital, and she has already chosen a place, in the alley at the end of Hongfu Street."

"Every time it rains, the Queen becomes worried. She always thinks of your old injury, which hurts when it rains, so she specifically asks me to take good care of your Highness..."

Yanzhi talked a lot, and Yuwen Yi's expression gradually relaxed. She was indeed a maid in Lanyue Palace who knew so many little things about his mother.

Yuwen Yi still had a vague impression of the palace maid who served tea that day, but he didn't remember her face. He raised his hand and said calmly:

"Okay, get up. This king has been away from home fighting for many years. He doesn't like to be served by someone close to him, nor does he like incense. Just do your own job and don't disturb me if you have nothing to do."

Yanzhi stood up, wiped her tears, her eyes red, and looked at His Royal Highness Prince Yi timidly.

"I know I was wrong. From now on, I will make nourishing soup for Your Highness every day. Please drink it while it's hot."

"Last New Year's Eve, His Highness was unable to return to the capital for the New Year. Concubine Jiang was unhappy all day. After hearing about the great victory in the northern border, Concubine Jiang counted the days and looked forward to His Highness's return to the capital. It's a pity that His Highness can't come to the palace often, but as long as His Highness is safe, Concubine Jiang will be relieved."

"Madam Jiang prefers sweet dishes. The meals sent by the imperial kitchen are not to her taste every time, but she never says anything. However, I know about it. I have also made southern cakes for her, and she likes them very much."

Yuwen Yi did not touch the bowl of nourishing soup, nor did he drive Yanzhi away. He and his mother were rarely together, and Yanzhi knew his mother's daily life. Yuwen Yi did not find it boring to listen to her, he just wanted to know more.

Yanzhi knew that she had succeeded halfway. His Royal Highness Prince Yi was not interested in other things, but he must be very concerned about Concubine Jiang.

She served Prince Rui until the end of his dinner. Although she didn't accomplish anything and just talked until her mouth was dry, Prince Yi had completely trusted her.

After dinner, Yanzhi prepared the bath water and looked at His Royal Highness Prince Yi timidly, "Your Highness, I will help you undress and wash up."

Yuwen Yi waved his hand and said, "Go back and rest. This is not the imperial palace. I don't have so many rules. You don't need to keep anyone on guard at night. Since you are from my mother's palace, I will leave those maids in your care from now on. Go down."

Yanzhi bit her lip, feeling very unhappy, but still left Yuwen Yi's room.

The night was long and there was no need to rush for a moment. When the drug took effect, she didn't believe that Prince Yi would be able to resist touching her.

Yuwen Yi took off his clothes and soaked in the bathtub. The water in the bathtub was a little hot, and it should be mixed with some cool water. However, Yuwen Yi was too lazy to call anyone in, so he just soaked in it.

The water seemed to be getting hotter and hotter. The steaming heat made Yuwen Yi sweat profusely. The blood in his body was surging, with nowhere to vent.

Yuwen Yi realized that something was wrong. It was not the water that was getting hotter, but his body that was getting hotter, as if he was poisoned!

With a splash, Yuwen Yi came out of the pool, wrapped in a layer of white underwear, and stumbled out, "Xiao Wang! Go get a doctor! I think I've been poisoned!"

Although the poison did not seem to be serious and could be overcome by endurance, he had always been able to endure it when he was fighting outside before. But if Ji Yunhuan knew about it, he would definitely scold him again.

So Yuwen Yi decided to ask the doctor first and put other things aside.

Xiao Wang lived next door to Yuwen Yi, so he should have heard the noise, but there was no sound.

Yanzhi rushed over when she heard the noise. She had not left in the first place, but had been hiding in the yard, waiting for this opportunity.

She rushed over and supported Prince Yi. Her touch was burning hot, and she knew that the drug had finally taken effect.

Yuwen Yi was poisoned when he was a child. Although he survived, his physique was very different from that of ordinary people. She put the Soft Fragrance Powder from Zijing Kingdom in the food. This medicine is colorless and tasteless, and there will be no reaction after taking it.

Just a little bit of primer is needed to ignite the soft fragrance in the body and make people fall into desire.

After the incense was extinguished, she put the primer into the water. The heat would help the medicine to work better. However, she was surprised that Yuwen Yi was able to come out conscious.

"Your Highness, the housekeeper has gone to bed. I am here to serve you."

Yanzhi reached out to take off Yuwen Yi's thin undershirt. Even through the layer of cloth, she could feel the man's powerful aura and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"Get out of here!" Yuwen Yi pushed Yanzhi away with a palm. His body instinctively wanted to find an outlet to vent, greedily wanting the coolness from the woman's body. However, Yuwen Yi took two steps back, panting, his eyes gloomy and full of anger.

"You drugged me! Who sent you here? What are your intentions?"

After being hit by the palm, Yanzhi lay on the ground and coughed a few times, but she quickly stood up and approached Yuwen Yi again.

"What do you mean by drugging? Your Highness is in great shape and vigor, so he naturally needs a woman to serve him. Of course, I was sent by Concubine Jiang. How can Concubine Jiang feel at ease if Your Highness doesn't have someone who understands your feelings and cares for you?"

"Your Highness, why are you resisting so much? I am pleased with you and willing to serve you. Even if I have no official title, I am willing to do so."
