Liang Qingchen took out a small bottle and poured out a pill. "This is the tranquilizer I asked Heather to prescribe. Take it and have a good sleep. I'll call you when we get there."

The so-called tranquilizer made from heather leaves is the ancient version of sleeping pills, and it is a very effective one. Jiang Muyu took just one pill and slept right away until the next day, even skipping dinner.

When Jiang Muyu woke up, she found herself lying on a bed. There was a slight shaking around her. Looking around, she realized that she was already on board.

She rubbed her swollen head. She had slept for too long and was now hungry and tired.

"Your Majesty, you're awake." Yun Yan just walked in.

"Well, where's the prince?"

"The prince is talking to Lord Yao outside."

Apart from Liang Qingchen leading the group, the only officials accompanying them were Lord Yao, officers and soldiers specifically responsible for escorting supplies, and some maids and servants.

Fearing that they might get into an accident, the emperor specially sent Doctor Wu Yu to accompany them, and Doctor Wu Yu brought along his granddaughter, who was an eighth-rank female doctor in the palace.

The supplies alone filled two ships, so the team was huge.

Jiang Muyu was a little hungry, so she asked Yunyan to bring some food. After eating and drinking her fill, she washed up before leaving the cabin.

At this time, Liang Qingchen was the only person standing on the deck. He was wearing a moon-white robe, and his back was tall and straight. The sunlight shining on his body seemed to give him a layer of gold.

She walked over slowly and stood side by side with him. The view from here was very wide, and she could see the sparkling river surface and the scenery on both sides.

Liang Qingchen looked at her and asked, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

"Much better."

She was originally in a weak physical condition and seldom traveled so far, so naturally she could not bear the fatigue.

She sighed, "Fortunately, I didn't hold the team back."

Liang Qingchen raised his hand and rubbed her hair, smiling faintly: "It's okay, you don't have to endure the discomfort. Although the time for this trip is tight, it is not as important as your safety."

At this moment, a woman's clear voice suddenly came from behind: "Your Highness, Lord Yao ordered me to come over and invite you to have dinner with us."

The two turned around and saw a pretty little girl with an oval face, grape eyes, cherry lips, and long hair tied up with a wooden hairpin, looking a bit playful.

This person is none other than Wu Lianxu, the granddaughter of Dr. Wu Yu.

"I understand." Liang Qingchen returned to his usual cold demeanor and nodded slightly.

Then he turned to Jiang Muyu and asked, his voice softened: "Do you want to go eat with me?"

"No, I just ate."

"Okay, it's windy on the boat, don't stay too long."

"Um."

Liang Qingchen left.

Jiang Muyu was about to continue looking at the scenery when she noticed that Wu Lianxu was still standing there. She asked in confusion, "Miss Wu, is there anything else?"

Wu Lianxu looked at her, pursed her lips, and said, "I have something I don't understand."

"What's wrong with you, Miss Wu?"

"Your Majesty is not in good health, why are you still traveling with the prince to Jiangnan?"

Jiang Muyu was stunned for a moment, looking into her eyes, he found that in addition to confusion, there were also some indescribable emotions.

She smiled lightly, "It's not that I want to go with you, but the prince can't leave me."

Wu Lianxuan's eyes darkened, he lowered his eyelashes, and said softly, "It was I who offended you."

"That's fine. Miss Wu, do you have any other questions?"

“No…no more.”

Jiang Muyu said nothing more, turned around and continued to stare at the front of the boat.

Wu Lianxuan looked at her thin back and felt bored, so he said, "I'll take my leave."

Not getting a response, she turned around and left.

Jiang Muyu put her hands on the railing and sighed, "It's true that men who are too good-looking are easy to attract bees and butterflies."

The sky gradually darkened. Jiang Muyu sat in the cabin reading a book. Fortunately, she did not suffer from seasickness, otherwise it would have been very difficult for her to bear the pain.

Not long after, Liang Qingchen came back. He had drunk a little wine and had a faint fragrance on his body.

Jiang Muyu leaned in and sniffed it. "What kind of wine are you drinking? It seems to have a sweet fragrance."

"It's osmanthus wine. Do you want to try it?"

"Can I?" Her eyes sparkled.

"Of course." Liang Qingchen smiled, tilted his head and kissed her lips.

Jiang Muyu blinked and tried to step back, but his arm held her waist. A faint sweetness spread between her lips and teeth, and it was a bit intoxicating.

After kissing for a while, he let go and asked with a smile, "How is it?"

"What?" She didn't react for a moment.

"Osmanthus wine."

"Uh..." Jiang Muyu pushed him but didn't push him away. She said speechlessly, "I want to drink the authentic sweet-scented osmanthus wine, not the inferior product diluted by your saliva."

Liang Qingchen hooked her waist and pulled her closer to his chest, resting his chin on her shoulder, and said with grievance: "Do you dislike me?"

"Have you drunk too much?" Jiang Muyu was kneeling beside the bed at this moment, his posture somewhat uncomfortable.

She didn't understand why this guy had such a poor alcohol tolerance. It was the same last time and it was the same this time. Once he drank too much, he was like a different person.

Liang Qingchen smiled softly and said, "I drank a little too much."

"Shall I ask Yunyan to bring you some hangover soup?"

"No need." Liang Qingchen realized that she might not be very comfortable sitting like this, so he picked her up and put her on his lap.

Jiang Muyu was startled by his sudden change of posture. She sat on his thighs, not knowing where to put her hands for a moment: "You...what are you doing?"

"I just want to hug you."

Jiang Muyu looked at the handsome face so close to her, and saw that there was no blush at all. He didn't look like a drunk person at all. She asked suspiciously, "Liang Qingchen, are you pretending to be drunk?"

"I never said I was drunk, I just had a little too much to drink."

"you……"

He didn't even give her a chance to blame him, and turned his head to kiss her lips again.

It was just a light kiss, but Jiang Muyu didn't want to say anything more because she clearly felt something strange beneath her and her body stiffened instantly.

Liang Qingchen buried his head in her neck and kissed her, saying softly, "Don't worry, there are so many people coming and going on the boat, I won't do anything to you."

She had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard him continue, "I'll reward you well when we get to Jiangnan."

Jiang Muyu's face turned red. "Please be serious. We are going to Jiangnan to deal with the flood."

"Is there any conflict between the two?" His fingers deftly untied the chastity around her waist and pulled her clothes down.

"This..." She held his messy hands awkwardly and said, "Have you forgotten that there are still some differences between us that have not been resolved?"

Liang Qingchen was somewhat helpless, "I will explain this to you after this matter is over."

Jiang Muyu said unhappily: "Why not explain it now?"

"Because there are more important things right now." His voice was low and deep, with an indescribable temptation, and his breath was hot as it rested against her neck.

Before he knew it, Jiang Muyu couldn't tell whether he was drunk or herself.
