Li Jingshu has been feeling very confused and lost lately. Chu Chengli has been having terrible nightmares. In his dreams, he keeps calling out the names of Shu Shu and Luo Lingyue, as if haunted by some force. She hopes that one day Chu Chengli will regain his memories!
However, strangely enough, Chu Chengli was now able to sleep peacefully, without even a trace of a dream. Li Jingshu couldn't help but feel suspicious. The secret agents she had arranged in the two concubines' bedrooms also reported to her that the prince had been sleeping unusually well recently.
This sudden change surprised Li Jingshu. She began to ponder the reason. What had caused Chu Chengli's nightmare to disappear? If this continued, would he never recover?
Li Jingshu felt very scared when she thought about facing this strange world alone and facing the powerful Luo Lingyue!
Li Jingshu decided to find a way to make the prince fall into a nightmare, but at the same time she was worried that her actions would cause unnecessary trouble. She had to act carefully so as not to let others notice her attention to the prince.
As time went by, Li Jingshu became more and more curious about Chu Chengli's true inner thoughts. She began to observe his every move silently, trying to find some clues from it. However, the prince's behavior remained consistent, making her elusive.
Amidst this enigmatic situation, Li Jingshu gradually fell into deep thought. She didn't know how to solve the mystery, nor did she know whether she should continue investigating. But a strong intuition told her that someone must be obstructing the progress of this matter.
Could it really be Luo Lingyue? Li Jingshu knew her abilities perfectly well. The most crucial issue now was that Cheng Li had to recover his memory as quickly as possible!
So, Li Jingshu came up with a plan - to have the chefs of the Eastern Palace prepare a variety of nourishing foods for the Crown Prince to take care of his health. These delicacies were delicious in appearance, aroma and taste, making people salivate.
However, this move caused some palace maids and eunuchs in the Eastern Palace to whisper, "The Crown Princess is trying to get pregnant with a Dragonborn before the other two concubines!" Rumors spread throughout the palace, and everyone was talking about it. But Li Jingshu didn't take these gossips to heart. She was only concerned with how to help Cheng Li regain his lost memories.
After the Crown Prince ate the nourishing food, he did not go to the Crown Princess's bedroom as usual. Although he would visit the Crown Princess every night, as soon as night fell, he would rush to the concubine's bedroom in a state of restlessness.
The servants of the Eastern Palace were well aware of this; the two concubines were clearly favored. Some even mocked Li Jingshu privately, saying she had given the Crown Prince so many nourishing supplements, only to end up helping someone else!
However, Li Jingshu didn't care what others thought. She knew that only after the prince and the woman had enjoyed their sexual pleasure would the nightmares continue to plague him. And these nightmares were the key to making the prince recall his experiences in the modern world and remember that she was Shu Shu, the woman he loved deeply!
Time flew by, and before he knew it, a great deal of time had passed. However, during this time, the prince had fallen into an obsession: excessive indulgence. He indulged in sensual pleasures, wantonly indulging his desires. His body gradually weakened, his face became pale, and his spirit became listless, as if he had lost all vitality.
The once dashing and high-spirited prince was now gone, replaced by a shell consumed by lust. His eyes were hollow, revealing a deep sense of fatigue and weakness; his steps were unsteady, as if he might collapse at any moment. His former elegance was gone, leaving only an empty shell.
The Queen even summoned Li Jingshu to her bedroom specifically for this matter. She spoke to her earnestly, "Jingshu, I know you desperately want to give birth to a child for the Crown Prince as soon as possible, but there's no rush. You can't let this drain the Crown Prince's health! As the Crown Princess, you should be advising the Crown Prince to prioritize national affairs, not letting him indulge in beauty all day! And you even went so far as to prepare those tonic foods for him! Jingshu, never act so recklessly again!"
After hearing this, Li Jingshu hurriedly bowed her head and admitted her mistake, saying, "Your Majesty, you are right. I know I was wrong. Please calm down!" Her voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of guilt and self-blame.
Then, she raised her head again, looked at the empress with a firm gaze, and solemnly promised, "I will strictly follow your mother's teachings in the future. I will no longer indulge the crown prince's lust for beauty, nor will I do anything that would harm his health. I will always remind you that you have a heavy responsibility and that you must put the country first. Please rest assured, your mother!"
After Li Jingshu returned to the Eastern Palace, her chest felt tight! Why didn't the Crown Prince have nightmares? She paced the room, filled with anxiety and confusion. Was there something wrong with the spell? Or did it need more time to take effect?
Just as she was lost in thought, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the door, followed by a palace maid softly announcing: "Crown Princess! Princess Luo is here to visit you!"
Li Jingshu frowned slightly, a sense of vigilance welling up in her heart. What was Luo Lingyue up to? Why did she suddenly come to visit her? And in broad daylight, she wouldn't dare to kill her in broad daylight! But thinking of Luo Lingyue's cold eyes, Li Jingshu couldn't help but shudder.
However, she quickly calmed herself down and decided to face Luo Lingyue with composure. She took a deep breath and said to the maid, "Bring her in!" Her voice was calm and firm, trying not to let her inner anxiety show.
Luo Lingyue slowly entered the room with a faint smile on her face. Li Jingshu's eyes flickered with a strange look when she saw her enter, and she waved for the others to leave.
Li Jingshu frowned and asked in a harsh tone, "Luo Lingyue! What are you doing here?"
Luo Lingyue calmly sat down across from Li Jingshu, elegantly picked up her teacup and took a sip. Then, she slowly replied, "I heard you gave Chu Chengfu a lot of tonics. I guess you hoped he'd have nightmares every night, right?"
Li Jingshu's heart was suddenly shocked, but she tried her best to remain calm and said innocently, "I don't understand what you mean!"
Luo Lingyue snorted disdainfully, her eyes sharp as a knife: "Now I am the only one who can help Chu Chengli transform into Cheng Li!"
Li Jingshu was furious. She slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "Luo Lingyue! What exactly do you want? If you want revenge, you can just take my life!"
Luo Lingyue smiled coldly, her voice filled with venom. "Kill you? That would be too easy for you! I want to witness with my own eyes how you live in fear every day! If you want Cheng Li to recover his past memories, kneel down and beg me!"
Li Jingshu lost control of her emotions, acting like a madman. She grabbed the teacup in her hand and threw it fiercely at Luo Lingyue, shouting at the same time: "Please? No way! If I can kill you once, I can kill you countless times! Get out of here right now!"
