Chapter 244: Houttuynia cordata
Yu Shiyan suddenly chuckled, "What is Aunt doing?"
Chu Wan paused, about to speak in defense, when she heard him say softly, "Even if the Yuan family really did something, there's nothing we can do, after all, the Empress Dowager is backing them up."
Even an aunt must show deference to the Empress Dowager, let alone at a banquet.
"Good child, you've suffered. So, what have you been doing at Jianzhang Palace these past few days...?"
Chu Wan's attention was indeed diverted, and she unconsciously twisted her handkerchief as she withdrew her hand.
"It's the same as before."
"in this way……"
Chu Wan murmured a sentence, her face showing heartache, but inwardly she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
That's exactly right. We must not give these weeds any chance to grow. They sprout up as soon as the spring breeze blows. What will happen to her Rong'er then?
The Crown Prince is already a troublesome figure with the Empress's backing; if this weed were to climb into the Yuan family, how would her precious Rong'er ever have a chance to rise in the world?!
That little bastard Yu Shiyan should have died along with her good sister back then. The Chu family can only have one daughter, and the Chu family should only have one imperial heir.
However, it seems he is still useful.
Ignoring everything else, Chu Wan pulled him into the inner hall, her face beaming with smiles: "Come in quickly. I know you've been suffering, so your aunt has prepared a table full of dishes, all of which are your favorites."
Yu Shiyan glanced at it indifferently, then took the chopsticks and obediently began to eat.
The desired result did not occur. Chu Wan smiled and gritted her teeth: "How is it? Is it to your liking?"
"My aunt's intentions were good, so it's naturally to my liking."
Chu Wan reluctantly wrung out her handkerchief and personally served him two chopsticks of houttuynia cordata.
"Eat more, this dish is good for your health, it's fresh, it's great."
This little bastard hates houttuynia cordata the most. He looks like he's about to vomit whenever he smells it. But today, what's wrong with him? Why doesn't he react at all?
She had specially ordered her servants to prepare a table full of dishes featuring houttuynia cordata. The dishes looked so exquisitely presented, but once they were in front of him, they would have killed him.
In the past, if she displeased the emperor, she only needed to use Yu Shiyan to play the victim and appeal to his emotions, and before long, the emperor would soften and come to her.
Thinking of this, Chu Wan said anxiously, "Eat quickly!"
Yu Shiyan quietly ate the houttuynia cordata in his bowl, and then drank a bowl of houttuynia cordata duck soup under her almost devouring gaze, still calm and composed, acting as if nothing had happened.
"You...you can't!"
Chu Wan became somewhat anxious, disregarding her previous delicate demeanor. She picked up the soup bowl and moved it towards him, the two exquisite imperial concubine bracelets on her wrists clinking together, making a crisp sound.
"How is it? Do you feel anything unusual?"
Do you feel like throwing up? Do you feel like throwing up?
Meeting Chu Wan's almost expectant, burning gaze, Yu Shiyan shook his head and parted his thin lips slightly: "No, Aunt."
"How could you not think about it, my good child?"
Chu Wan steadied herself, put down the soup bowl, and then grabbed his shoulder.
[Replacing in progress, goodnight everyone, will be completed within half an hour~]
They're just tired of playing with him now, so they're trying different ways to tease him.
He hadn't suffered enough at her hands.
Liu Huai was not him after all and could not understand his feelings, so he did not say much, but quietly treated his new wounds.
"Alright, Your Highness."
He closed his medicine box, not forgetting to add a few words of advice: "Just don't get it wet these next few days. You still have a few bruises on your body. I'll go back and get some blood-activating and stasis-removing plaster and bring it to you."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Yu Shiyan put on his blue robe and nodded gently.
