Chapter 157 Waking up at night



Everyone in the palace came out to welcome the emperor.

Emperor Yuan Ming: "No need to be polite."

Everyone stood up and followed Emperor Yuan Ming into the Marquis' Mansion.

Shang Yangyang has been staring at Emperor Yuan Ming today. Wherever Emperor Yuan Ming goes, she follows him. Emperor Yuan Ming even suspects that something is wrong with him.

Soon the banquet officially began. Everyone sat in their seats, delicious dishes were served, music sounded, and dancers danced in the banquet hall.

Amidst the laughter and joy of the crowd, someone wanted to interrupt this joyful scene.

The princess sneered, "Isn't it just to recognize a son? Is it necessary to mobilize so many troops?"

"Swish~" Just as the eldest princess finished speaking, she found several eyes looking at her, and she felt a chill on her back.

She followed her sensation and saw Duke Shang glaring at him. Shang Yuanshan, Prime Minister Lin, General Shen, the Crown Prince, and they all looked at her unfriendlyly. Even Emperor Yuan Ming, who was sitting on the throne, had an unhappy look in his eyes.

The eldest princess quickly closed her mouth, lowered her head and stared at the food in the bowl and stopped talking.

Shang Yangyang looked at the princess with her chin in her hand. [Is the princess not smart enough? A normal person wouldn't be so disappointed.]

At this moment Jiang Peixuan came close to Shang Yangyang and whispered, "Yangyang, I think there seems to be something wrong with your emperor."

"What?" Shang Yangyang stared at Jiang Peixuan, then turned to look at Emperor Yuan Ming who was sitting on the throne.

Jiang Peixuan continued, "He was first infected with a mind-controlling insect, but it seemed that the insect was suppressed somehow, and the person who put the insect in his body did not succeed in controlling his mind."

Shang Yangyang nodded. She knew all this. It was she who controlled the mind-controlling Gu for her uncle the emperor.

Jiang Peixuan frowned and said, "But he was poisoned again. It was a love poison. This insect is very difficult to detect. The poisoned person will slowly fall in love with the person who poisoned him during their interactions. He will obey everything that person says and fall deeply in love with him.

From what I've observed, he's been poisoned for less than half a month, so the two of them should be just getting to know each other."

After hearing this, Shang Yangyang couldn't take her eyes off Emperor Yuan Ming. She had felt that something was wrong with Emperor Yuan Ming today, but she didn't find any trace of the poisonous insect.

"What does the Gu worm look like?"

"Ah?" This time it was Jiang Peixuan who was a little confused. He still patiently explained to Shang Yangyang: "The love Gu is transparent before it enters the human body. Only the person who raises the Gu can distinguish it by a very thin black dot on its body. But once the love Gu enters the human body, it will attach to the human heart and corrode it, and will slowly turn into the same dark red as the heart."

Shang Yangyang looked at Jiang Peixuan: "Then can your bell drive away the poisonous insect?"

"I can remove the heart-controlling Gu in your emperor, but the love Gu needs to be removed from the main love Gu in the person who cast the Gu, and then the love Gu in your emperor's body will disappear."

"Ah, that's troublesome. We need to find the person who poisoned the insect first."

Jiang Peixuan nodded. "But you have to do it as soon as possible, otherwise in a month, your emperor will be completely controlled. If you remove the mistress Gu by then, your emperor's life span will be shortened."

"Oh, Uncle Emperor is really a worry for me."

Shang Yangyang pulled Jiang Peixuan, and the two of them moved closer to Shang Yuanshan and Shang Guogong, who were whispering something.

This made Emperor Yuan Ming, who was sitting in the main seat, very curious about what they were talking about. If it were not the wrong occasion, he would have also gone over there to listen.

The eldest princess on the other side saw Shang Yangyang being so ignorant of etiquette and grumbled, "Princess Zhaoyue has been spoiled to the point of having no manners at all."

She once again endured a lot of unfriendly looks.

The eldest princess awkwardly pulled her daughter aside and started talking.

Shang Yangyang looked at the eldest princess angrily. "Daddy, can we go out and fly tonight?"

"Ah?" Shang Yuanshan quickly heard Shang Yangyang's thoughts.

[Hmph, let her keep staring at me. I'm going to go play with her.]

Shang Yuanshan nodded. "Okay."

"Hehe~" Shang Yangyang smiled mischievously.

Jiang Peixuan raised his hand: "I want to go too."

"Okay~" Shang Yangyang agreed readily.

After the discussion, Shang Yangyang skipped back to his seat. "Hehe, we can start now."

Shang Yangyang picked up the big chicken leg on the table and was about to bite it, but saw Lin Siqing's hand stretched out and cut the big chicken leg in half. "Yangyang, you're going to have indigestion again if you eat too much. Have you forgotten the time when you had a stomachache when you ate too much?"

Shang Yangyang pouted her lips to show her unhappiness.

Lin Siqing tapped her little nose. "It's useless. You can only eat half of it."

"Well, it's better to have something than nothing." Shang Yangyang took the chicken leg and started to chew it. His mouth was greasy from chewing it. Yun Shu, who was standing beside him, considerately helped Shang Yangyang wipe the corner of his mouth.

"Yangyang, slow down. No one is trying to snatch it from you."

Shang Yangyang shook his head vigorously, biting a chicken leg and said vaguely: "Mom... yes."

When Lin Siqing heard this, she smiled dotingly, "Eat slowly, mother won't snatch it away."

Shang Yangyang looked at Lin Siqing, then quickly turned around and continued to gnaw on the chicken leg in his hand without any delay.

Yun Shu couldn't help laughing now. "Yangyang, why do you eat faster the more you talk?"

Shang Yangyang quickly finished the chicken leg in his hand, not even leaving out the shredded meat on the bone, and ate it very cleanly.

Shang Yangyang put the chicken bones on the table with satisfaction, then picked up the soup beside her and started drinking it.

"Burp~" Shang Yangyang burped contentedly, and then rubbed his bulging belly. "I'm full."

After Shang Yangyang was full, she couldn't sit still anymore, so she pulled Yun Shu and Shang Wanyue to her yard to play.

After playing tired, Shang Yangyang and the others went back to their room to rest. When it got dark, Shang Yangyang got up from her bed in shock. She only saw Shang Wanyue on the side of the bed. [Yun Shu has returned home, so she can't take her out to play.]

Shang Yangyang pushed Shang Wanyue beside him and said, "Wanyue, wake up."

Shang Wanyue rubbed her eyes and found that it was still dark outside. "What happened to Yangyang?"

"Come on, I'll take you out to play."

"Ah?" Shang Wanyue had just woken up and she couldn't react for a moment. She sat on the bed in a daze, while Shang Yangyang had already jumped to the ground and put on her shoes and clothes.

"Hurry up Wanyue, let's go out and play."

"good."

A moment later, Shang Yangyang and Shang Wanyue knocked on the door of Shang Yuanshan's room. "Daddy, wake up~"

Shang Yuanshan and Lin Siqing in the room sat up in shock, and Lin Siqing looked outside the door worriedly. "Why did Yangyang come here so late at night? Did she have a nightmare?"

As Lin Siqing was about to put on her clothes and go downstairs, she was stopped by Shang Yuanshan, who grinned and said ingratiatingly, "It's me. I promised Yangyang to take her out to play tonight."

Lin Siqing asked uncertainly: "Late at night?"
