Upon seeing this, Yu Jingchen frowned and instinctively shielded Nan Zhiyun to prevent her from being scratched by the cat.
Jiang Ji lost her grip, and the cat ran away again. It ran straight towards Yu Yan, who couldn't dodge it. The bell pounced on her, scratching her relentlessly.
Yu Yan dodged backward in the chaos. Something fell from her sleeve – a purse. The bell seemed to have found its target, grabbing at the fallen object with all its might.
Upon seeing this, Yu Jingchen's expression turned cold: "Go and see what that thing is. Then call the imperial physician over."
"Yes," Xinglai replied without delay. Jiang Ji quickly stepped forward and picked up the bell again, while Xia Yi picked up the things on the ground.
"Put the cat away from us," Yu Jingchen reminded her. He didn't know what the cat had just touched, and he didn't want Nan Zhiyun to get it on her.
"What is this thing?" Yu Jingchen looked at Yu Yan with an icy expression.
Yu Yan panicked when she saw the item and immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, it's just a purse of mine." Yu Yan tried to remain calm.
Yu Jingchen remained silent after hearing her words, and Yu Yan, feeling flustered, dared not speak. Bai Yusheng stood by, watching everything unfold, completely oblivious—what a fool!
Nan Zhiyun was stunned when she saw that scene; it was obvious that there was something inside that purse.
"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun wanted to say something, but Yu Jingchen didn't give her the chance.
"Don't worry, just stay put. I'll handle it." Yu Jingchen didn't leave this kind of thing to her; he let Nan Zhiyun handle it. He was afraid she might have problems, since Nan Zhiyun had never dealt with this kind of thing before. There was plenty of time in the future; she could learn gradually.
Hearing Yu Jingchen say this, Nan Zhiyun didn't say anything more and nestled obediently in his arms. The imperial physician arrived shortly afterward. Xinglai had already told them in advance on the way, so he knew exactly what he should do upon arrival.
The imperial physician first examined the cat, then looked at the purse that Yu Yan had dropped, and roughly understood what was going on.
"Have you found out? What happened?" Yu Jingchen asked, his tone so cold it was almost icy.
"Your Majesty, the contents of this container... contain aphrodisiac effects, and... the effects are more pronounced on men." The imperial physician had been in the palace for so long, so he was naturally aware of the intricacies involved.
When Yu Jingchen heard this, his aura turned cold. Yu Yan knew she was doomed when she saw the imperial physician arrive, and now she collapsed to the ground in panic.
Nan Zhiyun was initially confused, but after understanding the situation, she was shocked. Aphrodisiac...? She was first surprised that Yu Yan would carry such things with her, and then... she blushed.
Yu Jingchen's face darkened immediately when he saw that such filthy things had been brought before Nan Zhiyun. The implication of her carrying these things was obvious.
"How dare you!" Yu Jingchen looked at Yu Yan kneeling on the ground with the same look he gave her as if she were a dead man.
"Princess Yan, how could you do such a thing? How could you bring something like this on your person and even into the palace?" Bai Yusheng also looked incredulous.
