Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Drug Effect

The carriage of the Yongding Marquis's Mansion drove out of the palace, turned to the side, and went to the Wei family's villa on the west side.

The group went from the palace villa, avoided the crowd, entered the Wei family villa, and got on the carriage.

Mrs. Baoguo was so anxious that she burst into tears, "Jue'er, you were poisoned?!"

She had personally ordered the medicine for her son. She was horrified at the sight of blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.

But Wei Jue just shook his head and said, "Pan Niang, please don't force your son to do such things again in the future, that's all."

Mrs. Baoguo repeatedly assured him, "But your body..."

Wei Jue ignored him, turned around and told the Jinyiwei, then carried Nian Jia into the carriage.

Du Lingjing also got into the car. Chongping drove in front and headed all the way to the Zhongqing Marquis' Mansion in the capital.

No matter how steady Chongping's driving is, the road outside Beijing is still bumpy.

Du Lingjing saw that Wei Jue's face was becoming increasingly ugly, with paleness in the blue, and blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.

She couldn't help but speak.

"Let me hold Nian Jia."

Let Nian Jia sit and lean on her, she can still hug him.

The wheels creaked on the road back to Beijing. Wei Jue was silent for a moment and looked at the person in his arms.

It was indeed no longer suitable for him to hold her all the time.

He nodded very lightly.

Just as she stretched out her hand to let the person in her arms go, her face, which was flushed to purple, began to wrinkle.

She seemed to have noticed something, and there were faint flashes of anxious tears under her tightly closed eyes.

Wei Jue didn't dare to move anymore, but she grabbed his collar and held it tightly in her hand.

Wei Jue and Du Lingjing shook their heads, withdrew their hands, and hugged her tightly in their arms again.

She felt a little relieved at this, and she clutched his clothes even more tightly and buried her head in his arms.

She pressed herself against him, the hot breath rising from their bodies entangled with each other.

The familiar fragrance of her hair was like thin and dense threads extending out, constantly entangled in his nose.

Wei Jue's mind trembled.

This was the last time, the last time God made an exception for him, so that he could still smell the fragrance of her hair...

A few drops of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Du Lingjing was already panicking and didn't know what to do.

"Can you... stand it?"

Surrounded by the fragrance of hair, Wei Jue closed his eyes and suppressed his disordered breath again and again before he could utter two words.

“It’s OK.”

Du Lingjing felt that he was about to collapse, but now she could only urge Chongping to go to the Duke Zhongqing's mansion as soon as possible.

*

The Mansion of the Earl of Zhongqing in the capital.

Imperial Doctor Li came for a follow-up visit and his attendants took Wei Cong's pulse.

"Your Highness has improved significantly, but he still needs to continue to rest. Only when his injuries stabilize can they heal quickly. Otherwise, the summer heat is coming and it will be difficult for the disease to recur."

He urged him to continue to rest. Wei Cong thanked him and stood up to see Doctor Li out of the house of Marquis Zhongqing.

Just as he was about to turn around and go back, he saw the Jinyiwei rushing to the door.

He is Wei Jue's personal guard.

As soon as he saw Wei Cong, he strode forward.

"What's the matter?" Wei Cong whispered.

"Sir, something has happened to the princess! The commander asked you to pick her up in person!"

... ...

The side door of the Zhongqing Marquis's Mansion was connected to the backyard, and all outsiders were cleared out. Chongping drove directly into the yard.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Wei Jue heard footsteps coming forward from outside the carriage.

"Princess?"

It was Wei Cong, his cousin.

These two words came through the car window. A little later, Wei Jue noticed the person in his arms, and his hand holding his collar loosened.

She turned her head away from his arms as if in response, as if looking for the source and destination of the sound.

Wei Jue's throat was tightly pressed, and there was a slight pain in it. He pursed his lips tightly.

Du Lingjing responded on behalf of Nian Jia.

"Prince!"

"lady."

After receiving the response, the man stepped onto the carriage, passed Du Lingjing, and saw the person in Wei Jue's arms at a glance.

Her thick eyelashes were covered with tiny tears, her face was almost purple, and at this moment she was biting her lips tightly and closing her eyes, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"Princess..." he couldn't help but call out again.

The person who was drugged became uneasy after hearing the sound, his eyelids trembled and tears fell.

"Who gave me the drug?" Wei Cong asked in a low voice.

Du Lingjing had no time to investigate as things happened too quickly.

She could only say, "Originally, the wine was served to me. Perhaps I was drugged, but it caused Nian Jia to be poisoned to this extent."

Wei Cong frowned deeply, and a cold look flashed across Wei Jue's eyes.

Chongping responded, "I have sent someone to report this matter to the Marquis, and I will investigate it later!"

Now is not the time to investigate the murderer.

The low pressure in the car made the unconscious Nian Jia even more unbearable.

She suddenly coughed and blood came out from the corner of her mouth.

"Yuanyuan!" Wei Jue was shocked.

However, when he suddenly called out her nickname, he realized that his cousin Wei Cong was right beside her.

Wei Cong's gaze also rested on the bleeding corner of Nian Jia's lips, but he also raised his eyes to look at Wei Jue when he heard the voice.

Wei Jue hugged her tightly, and she leaned on his chest with half of her face buried in his arms.

Wei Cong's eyes remained unchanged.

"Give me the princess."

His voice was just like his eyes, deep and steady without any change.

But he said something to Wei Jue indifferently.

"You should detoxify as soon as possible."

After saying that, he leaned over, took his hand from Wei Jue's arms, and took the person into his own arms.

Wei Jue lowered his head to look at the person in his arms, and she had gradually left his arms.

However, just as he was about to slowly let go, he found that her hand was still clasped on his collar. Perhaps she sensed the insecurity at the moment, and in her unconsciousness she was frightened and held his collar even tighter in her hand.

She seemed not to want to leave his arms!

Wei Jue's eyes couldn't help but tremble.

At this moment, he suddenly didn't want to let go!

He did not let go, and even couldn't help but pull her back into his arms.

Du Lingjing was surprised.

She only saw Wei Cong lowering his eyebrows, his eyes slowly sweeping over Wei Jue's hand, and then looking at the person who had not yet been able to catch his arms.

He softened his voice and called her softly.

"Princess."

After these words came out, the unconscious Nian Jia paused, and she sobbed softly between the two of them, at a loss as to what to do.

The car was so silent that even everyone's breathing disappeared, leaving only her sobbing in pain.

The Wei brothers' eyes all fell on her.

Du Lingjing also looked over there intently.

When she saw Nian Jia crying softly, she nervously clutched Wei Jue's clothes with her hands, but finally slowly loosened her hands.

Du Lingjing saw Wei Jue and gently closed her eyes.

He pursed his lips, blood still oozing from the corners of his mouth, but he loosened his fingers and lowered his arm.

The prince completely embraced his princess in his arms.

His strong and steady arms closed the unfamiliar distance between them. She fell completely into his arms and stopped crying.

There seemed to be a slight softening between Wei Cong's brows.

He glanced at Wei Jue.

"You go now."

After saying that, he looked at Du Lingjing and nodded to thank her.

Wei Jue had been taking the medicine longer than Nian Jia, so he really couldn't wait any longer. Fortunately, the Duke Zhongqing's residence was not far from the Marquis' residence in Jiqingfang.

Chongping had instructed people to find the antidote in advance, and asked the detoxifier to come to his house, and now he went straight to the marquis's mansion.

Du Lingjing saw that even Wei Jue's lips had turned completely pale.

"Commander..." she couldn't help but call him.

But just as Wei Jue raised his head to look at her, his body suddenly leaned forward.

He coughed out a mouthful of blood with a strong fishy smell all over the floor.

Blood splattered on Du Lingjing's skirt.

She was shocked, but saw Wei Jue wiping the bloody corner of his mouth with his trembling sleeve.

He also saw his blood splattered on Du Lingjing's skirt.

He looked at her apologetically.

"Jingniang, I'm sorry. I stained your dress..."

Where is the time to talk about this?!

But before Du Lingjing could say anything, he saw that the last bit of his strength that he had used to escort Nian Jia had completely disappeared.

He fell to one side and slumped onto his seat.

Wei Jue fainted.

Du Lingjing was shocked, "Chongping, hurry, go back home!"

... ...

Not long after the carriage returned to the Marquis' Mansion, someone strode back and stepped in.

After Lu Shen came down from the court, he returned home, changed his clothes, and followed what he had said to his wife in the morning. He rode out of the capital and headed for the villa of Prince Yan's mansion.

Who would have thought that as soon as he left the capital, Chongping sent people to stop him.

At this moment, Marquis Lu had just walked to Jinlanxuan in the outer courtyard, where foreign guests were accommodated, when he saw his wife from afar, standing in a daze in front of a crabapple tree under the corridor.

He looked over and saw a guard coming forward to answer him.

Guard Commander Dao Ping found someone to detoxify the commander, but it would take some time. "The commander was seriously injured, but he is stable at the moment."

The man raised his chin slightly when he heard the last two words.

The guards retreated, and he saw that his dazed wife finally came to her senses and saw him.

But she just stayed there, her watery eyes full of disappointment, and didn't come towards him. He could only walk over.

She was still wearing the dress she wore when she went out that morning, but her eyes were red and watery. However, her bright skirt and hem were all stained with blood, and her left hand was cut and wrapped in a handkerchief.

The man took a look at it and couldn't help but sigh and speak.

"I just went to court, and it turned out like this?"

He went to court to deal with those old men like Dou Ge Lao, so he asked her to go to someone else's house for a banquet, and she agreed to pick her up after he got off court. But...

"You cut your hands, your skirt was covered in blood, and you picked up a man and took him home?"

He asked her, and Du Lingjing was stunned.

She came back to her senses instantly.

What does it mean to pick up a man and take him home?

"That's the commander!" she explained to him.

He raised his chin.

"Isn't he a man?"

"... ..."

Du Lingjing couldn't make sense of him. It was already this late, and he was still arguing with her about this.

She turned away in anger.

But before he could finish turning, he pulled him back.

"Are you still angry? Let me ask you, you went out for a banquet for no reason, how did it end up like this? Are you injured again?"

He "challenged her" and asked her to explain and reflect. Du Lingjing didn't know how to answer.

Du Lingjing couldn't help but think, if she hadn't remembered his advice to "drink less alcohol" and drank that pot of wine, what would the situation be like today?

When she thought of this, the man also thought of this.

His voice turned cold.

"There are always some shady things going on at the banquets held by the noble families. I don't mind watching them, and you don't have to think about making connections and arranging things for me."

He said that the most crucial issue now is the struggle between the civil and military factions and the Eastern Palace.

"I know what I am doing. If I need you to run errands for me again, there is no need to fight with others."

Du Lingjing raised her head and looked at him. He snorted twice and pulled her to sit in the room next to him.

Someone was called to get the medicine box.

"Hurt again. For the second time." He muttered as he looked at her left hand.

The first time she went to rescue Mr. Liao in the mountains outside Beijing, she was cut on the arm by an arrow shot by Yang Jinyu, and it took many days to heal.

The second time, it was said that she was pushed by her second sister and her palm was cut by a big rock.

Three times the limit, this has happened twice.

He personally gave her the medicine. The disease was serious and it was unknown how many days it would take to heal.

Lu Shenru thought of the important matter just now.

"Tell me what's going on?"

He had said before that she had been wronged outside and refused to tell him when she came home.

This time, Du Lingjing really had to tell him all the mess that happened today.

She started by asking someone to follow her second sister Du Runqing and find out that Madam Wan had sent her medicine. But when it came to Jiang Fengchuan, she didn't say much and omitted the part about Liu Lang, saying that everything was originally fine until someone put drugs in the wine served to her.

Princess Yan strongly recommended her a medicinal wine for pain relief, how could she have put drugs in it?

This medicine was exactly the same as the one Wei Jue had taken. Apparently, someone had secretly picked up the medicine bottle and quietly slipped the medicine into the wine given to her.

Unexpectedly, it was eaten by Nian Jia.

Du Lingjing had a headache, "Who is it?"

He came here for her, not for Nian Jia.

The man was not worried, but his eyes were a little cold.

He re-bandaged her hand, looked into his wife's eyes and smiled slightly.

"We will know."

*

The Mansion of the Earl of Zhongqing.

Prince Wei embraced his princess and fed her some antidote with similar effects. The bleeding from the corner of her mouth stopped and the redness on her face faded a little.

Then he gave her some cold water and let her lean on him. His eyes fell on her hand that seemed to be grasping something. He couldn't help but think of the time in the carriage when her hands tightly grasped the clothes of others, her fingertips were white...

The man remained silent, but took her hand, which was about to grab something, and placed it on his lapel.

She grabbed it immediately, but she didn't hold it as hard as she did others.

But the next moment, she closed her eyes, hummed softly twice, and her fingertips extended inside his collar.

After two or three moves, she reached out to his chest, the skin of her fingertips touching his chest, and her body rubbed restlessly in his arms.

The most uncomfortable effect of the medicine was reduced by three points, and the effect of the medicine was reversed.

She placed her entire palm on his chest, humming in confusion.

Wei Cong chuckled and responded to her.

"knew."

He turned around and undressed. A white cloth was tied diagonally across his bare chest, covering the wound he had just sustained.

Doctor Li told him to rest.

But the man just threw his clothes aside and held the person in his arms and placed him in the quilt.

He kissed her hair gently, and she hummed softly to urge him on.

The first time they had sex, she was extremely anxious, and finally she forced herself on him and consummated the marriage.

This time, she was anxious again.

But the situation is not quite the same.

He raised his hand and stroked her soft knees. She immediately hummed and trembled, but under the effect of the drug, she raised her knees and rubbed them against his waist.

He had an injury on his waist, but the man did not take it away and let her rub against him.

The next moment, supporting her slender waist and soft buttocks, the army entered the country at a low pressure.

... ...

When Nian Jia woke up, it was already dark and he didn't know what time it was.

The heat in her body had not yet completely subsided, and her mind seemed to be a pot of paste. She looked at herself dazedly, from the villa of Prince Yan's Mansion to the room in the courtyard of the Duke Zhongqing's Mansion and the prince's son's house.

She vaguely felt that something was not right with her in the palace. It was not just that she was drunk, but it was as if she had been drugged by some aphrodisiac.

But the prince did not go to the banquet with her, so she didn't know how she came back or who sent her back.

And now, she seemed to be carried from the bed to the couch.

The prince took a thin blanket and came over. His upper body was naked, and she subconsciously closed her eyes.

He wrapped her body with a thin blanket but gently rubbed her waist.

His fingertips were as rough as the sand outside the Great Wall, but when they caressed me through the thin blanket, there was an indescribable feeling of softness and beauty.

The effect of the medicine on Nian Jia had not completely dissipated yet, and his body involuntarily softened again, with tiny beads of dew oozing out from somewhere.

He pulled her into his arms and peeled the thin blanket off her bare shoulders.

The gentle breeze in the room instantly reached her chest.

Nian Jia was startled and could no longer pretend, so he opened his eyes in surprise.

Wei Cong blinked at her, his voice was so low and hoarse that she had never heard before.

"Oh, the princess is awake."

"Uh, I..."

Nian Jia didn't know what to say, and he saw the mess in the room.

From the bed to the foot of the couch, and even to the table beside it... ...I'm afraid the detoxification took more than one time.

Nian Jia was confused and shocked, and looked at the man in front of him.

But suddenly I saw that the serious wound on his chest, which was about to heal, was actually oozing blood spots.

"Prince, Prince, you..."

His wound was bleeding, and Wei Cong also saw it.

But he said gently, "It's okay."

The external injuries may not be a big deal, but he still suffered serious internal injuries.

Looking around the room, he had given her the medicine more than once, "Prince, you will die, right?!"

Nian Jia was shocked.

But the man laughed.

"Not really. I don't want the princess to remarry."

He didn't want her to marry someone else.

Nian Jia was stunned, the residual effect of the medicine made her mind confused.

But he has already entered the flower.

The young princess opened her mouth wide. She felt that the entire tall and spacious room was full.

She didn't dare to move, but her body twisted on its own under the effect of the drug.

He chuckled and Nian Jia was stunned.

She stared at him blankly, and suddenly remembered the incident that frightened her on her wedding night, and she wanted to try again.

"I, I, I can ask the imperial physician to give me the antidote."

But the man shook his head.

"The antidote is far less effective than if I came in person."

He repeated, "Don't worry, Princess. I won't let you remarry."

After he finished speaking, he didn't give her any time to think about it.

He went deep inside her, holding the back of her neck, pressing her soft white ears, and kissing the corner of her lips.

Nian Jia trembled her wide eyes.

*

Jiqingfang, the Mansion of Marquis Yongding.

The sky passed through the long night and turned pale in the distant east.

Wei Jue held his chest, which was filled with pain, woke up, and slowly opened his eyes.
