Chenxi acted as if she hadn't heard what Fangfei said.
He came to the bedside to check on Ye Jingchen's condition.
Martial arts practitioners have a level of understanding of the body that is no less than that of doctors. Chenxi checked Ye Jingchen's pulse and confirmed that he had simply fallen into a coma.
Chenxi hesitated for a moment between splashing cold water directly and pressing acupoints.
Pouring cold water is undoubtedly the fastest way, but the downside is that it might cause the cold air to enter the body. Moreover, given how much Fangfei values Ye Jingchen, she would probably do everything in her power to stop it.
Pressing acupoints can also wake Ye Jingchen up, but it takes a little while.
However, since the emperor doesn't want Ye Jingchen to get involved, it's fine if he wakes up a little later.
Thinking this, Chenxi sat on the bed, pulled Ye Jingchen to his side, and rested his head on his lap. He reached out and began to press the Fengchi acupoints behind Ye Jingchen's ears and below his occipital bone.
"What are you doing? We can't let His Highness wake up now. If he wakes up, he'll definitely go to save his companion!" Fangfei glared angrily at Chenxi.
"You are his maid, a servant cannot serve two masters." Chenxi said coldly as she pressed down on him.
"I'm doing this for His Highness's own good! Assassination is so dangerous, how could he risk his life himself?!" Fangfei said excitedly.
"If he knew it was dangerous, why did he go?"
"Is he really that noble?" Chenxi asked calmly.
Fangfei: ...
Yes, why would she think that if His Highness knew about His Majesty's plan, he would definitely go to save his companion? Is he really that noble and selfless?
wrong!
His Highness is her master, how could she slander him like this?
"Outrageous! How dare you, a secret guard, slander your master like this?!" Fangfei shouted.
Chenxi simply glanced at her calmly and continued pressing Ye Jingchen's acupoints.
"What if His Highness wakes up and really has to risk his life to save his companion?" Fangfei hesitated for a moment, then asked with some worry.
The problematic tranquilizer was given to her by His Majesty, who also gave her the antidote beforehand. His Majesty stated with certainty that if His Highness knew about this plan, he would not stand idly by, so the best way was to make him fall asleep.
As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. Since His Majesty trusts His Highness the Crown Prince so much, perhaps His Highness will really go to save people after he wakes up.
“He’s the master, he can do whatever he wants,” Chenxi said, tightening her fingers slightly.
Ye Jingchen's eyelids trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Although he was awake, he was still dizzy and unable to concentrate.
He remembered that he had something very important to confirm and needed to wake up as soon as possible.
"Water—" he shouted.
Fangfei quickly poured some tea and handed it over.
Ye Jingchen tried to take the teacup, but when he moved his hand, he couldn't lift it.
Then he belatedly realized that his body was sore and weak.
"Your Highness, let me feed you." Fangfei leaned closer, holding a teacup.
Chenxi snatched the teacup from her hand and held the mouth of the cup to Ye Jingchen's lips.
Ye Jingchen strained to peek out and drink water.
"Bring the teapot over," Chenxi said as she fed the child water.
The effects of the aphrodisiac in Ye Jingchen's body cannot be neutralized by a cup of water.
Fangfei looked at Ye Jingchen.
"Go get it."
Fangfei then went and picked up the teapot from the table.
Chenxi handed the teacup to Fangfei, took the teapot, and pointed the spout at Ye Jingchen's mouth.
Ye Jingchen began to gulp down tea.
After drinking about half a pot of tea, Ye Jingchen finally regained some strength and his mind became much clearer.
He sat up from Chenxi's lap, his face stern as he looked at Fangfei. "Tell me, what exactly does Father want to do?"
Fangfei knew that although her actions were authorized by His Majesty, they were still considered acts of treason. She immediately knelt on the ground and told Ye Jingchen about the Emperor's plan.
Ye Jingchen: !
The emperor was clearly using a sting operation, employing him as bait to lure the Jiang family into making a move.
But the emperor was reluctant to let him risk his life, so he found a substitute to sit in the carriage in his place.
Ye Jingchen was very grateful for the emperor's affection, but—
He may not be the real crown prince, but his study companions are!
If they were to be assassinated and unfortunately meet with an accident, how would the emperor explain this to those families?
Even if they end up getting away with nothing, if those families find out about the emperor's actions today, although they may not dare to say anything on the surface, they will definitely hold a grudge against the emperor and him!
This was his carefully chosen study companion, his future pillar of support, who would determine whether he would be a beast of burden or live a carefree life. There could be no accidents, and he could not be alienated from him!
"Chenxi, take me out of the palace, I need to save them!" Ye Jingchen said immediately.
Chenxi was somewhat surprised by his choice and warned, "It's very dangerous!"
"That's why I'm even more determined to go!"
"If you take me out of the palace, all the secret guards will be mobilized. I don't want any of my companions to be injured or killed!" Ye Jingchen said firmly.
"Your Highness, you cannot leave the palace now!" Fangfei pleaded, still kneeling on the ground.
"Remember this, I left the palace with Yun Shu and the others a long time ago!" Ye Jingchen warned.
“There won’t be a next time!” he told Fangfei.
"Chenxi, you should have a way to get me out of the palace without anyone noticing, right?" Ye Jingchen asked Chenxi.
Chenxi nodded.
These people, who cannot be brought to the light, naturally have some underhanded methods for entering and leaving the palace.
After an incense stick had burned, Ye Jingchen stood dizzily on the main street of the imperial city.
He personally experienced the superb lightness skill of the secret guards, and the feeling was much more exciting than riding a roller coaster or a pirate ship.
