Song Xibai froze, unable to react for a moment.
At this moment, the prince also felt the changes in his body and felt a strange sense of shame. He hurriedly pulled the quilt next to him and covered his lower body.
Fortunately, the needles have been inserted into the upper body recently, so this action did not affect the previous acupuncture sites.
However, the Crown Prince's big move brought Song Xibai back to her senses.
She glanced at the Crown Prince and noticed that his face was flushed, his eyes were darting around and he didn't dare to meet her gaze, which she found amusing.
"Your Highness has not been near a woman for more than a month. This is a natural bodily reaction, so Your Highness need not worry about it too much."
Her reaction was so cold that the prince's face, which had been burning hot, suddenly calmed down as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.
But he still turned his head away, refusing to look at her.
"It's been more than six months."
"Um?"
Song Xibai didn't understand at first and blinked.
"Ever since I learned of my health problems, I have not slept with any women," the Crown Prince explained through gritted teeth.
Song Xibai finally understood and gave an "Oh" that was drawn out, but did not continue the topic.
Discussing your boss's sex life with him... well, that's really hard to say!
Something just feels off.
So Song Xibai shut his mouth and stopped talking, continuing to find acupoints to insert needles.
More than half an hour later, the treatment ended. Song Xibai put away the silver needles, stood up straight, and couldn't help but rub her lower back and wipe the sweat from her forehead.
In the short time that followed, the Crown Prince had already dressed and gotten out of bed.
His complexion was still not very good, but fortunately, his physical symptoms had already subsided.
"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. I'll come again tomorrow."
After uttering these words, the crown prince hurriedly departed.
After the Crown Prince and his entourage left, Wei Hong was the first to enter.
"Master, shall we prepare some water?"
Song Xibai responded, muttering, "The fire is too strong, I'm all sweaty, it's good to take a shower."
Wei Hong bowed and withdrew, then immediately called the maids to fetch water. She and Fu Liu then prepared clothes, towels, soap, perfume, and other items for bathing.
Song Xibai took a long and enjoyable bath in the side room, feeling fragrant and refreshed, before returning to her room to rest.
The next morning, as soon as Song Xibai woke up, he saw Dingxiang come in with two head maids.
Dingxiang was about to help her wash up when Song Xibai grabbed her hand and pressed it down onto a stool.
"Stop fooling around, I'm a little tired. Give me a back massage later."
Dingxiang chuckled, revealing an ambiguous "I understand" expression.
Song Xibai was physically exhausted, and even more so mentally. She didn't want to explain anymore; she'd let her think whatever she wanted!
After a quick breakfast, Song Xibai pulled Dingxiang aside and asked her to give him a massage.
Dingxiang rubbed her lower back while muttering to herself.
"You're so young, but you can't be so ignorant about moderation! I saw the Crown Prince walking away yesterday, he was walking with great strides, he was in excellent condition! If you can't keep up with his stamina, you'll suffer."
Song Xibai closed her eyes, pretending not to hear what she said.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Dingxiang suddenly leaned close to her ear.
"How about I teach you a few bedroom techniques?"
Song Xibai couldn't stand it anymore and turned to glare at her: "You're a virgin yourself, how would you know these things?"
Dingxiang dismissed it: "That's what the older women who come to the clinic say!"
Song Xibai rubbed his forehead.
"Stop gossiping. Have you forgotten how your mother chased after you and beat you for sneaking into a brothel to eavesdrop?"
"Hmph! You still have the nerve to say that! Wasn't it you who persuaded me to go?"
Dingxiang slapped Song Xibai on the back in a huff.
Song Xibai winced in pain and begged for mercy repeatedly: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault."
Speaking of which, when they were kids, Dingxiang was tricked by Song Xibai countless times. Song Xibai couldn't help but wonder if Dingxiang's bad upbringing was due to all the trouble he caused her.
It's too late to figure it out now.
If I ever have a daughter, I absolutely must not raise her like that.
The thought that suddenly popped into Song Xibai's mind startled her.
Why would I suddenly think of having a daughter?
She shook her head and lay back down.
After the massage, Song Xibai felt much lighter and her mind became clear again.
Faced with Dingxiang's teasing once again, Song Xibai decided to reveal some of the truth to her.
"My relationship with the Crown Prince is not what you think."
Dingxiang nodded: "I know, no matter how much you imagine it, it can't compare to real gun and ammunition drills."
Song Xibai suppressed her anger: "It's really not! He and I are business partners!"
"Which one is suitable? How do you do it?"
Song Xibai couldn't hold back any longer and slammed her hand on the table in anger.
"Can you please shut up those lewd thoughts in your head?! I'm talking to you about serious matters!"
Dingxiang opened her eyes slightly: "Just say what you want to say, why are you slamming the table?"
Song Xibai took a deep breath.
"As you know, my father and brothers and sisters-in-law have been exiled to the north. With my own abilities, it would be harder than climbing to heaven to save them, so I approached the Crown Prince and cooperated with him."
The room suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of charcoal burning softly.
Dingxiang tilted her head: "So, the Crown Prince is sick?"
Song Xibai nodded, then shook her head.
"I can't go into the specifics, it's too complicated. The Crown Prince hasn't even told the Crown Princess. My identity is fake. I'll leave once I've cured the Crown Prince's illness. At that time, your identity will be in trouble. So, what I'm thinking now is to quickly make two doses of the fake death medicine."
Dingxiang's eyes widened even more.
"Are you sure? Didn't they say that once you enter the palace, you can't get out?"
"My situation is different!"
Dingxiang expressed her doubt: "Even if the identity is fake, would someone like His Highness the Crown Prince let you go so easily? Impossible, right? You said it yourself, even the Crown Princess doesn't know about his illness; you're the only one who does. What does that mean? It means you're special in his heart! You're different!"
Song Xibai paused for a moment after hearing the first part, but was speechless after hearing Dingxiang's words.
This girl is totally obsessed with love!
"You're overthinking it!" She paused, softening her tone, before continuing, "But it's true, I don't think he'll let me go easily, so I'm making preparations for both possibilities."
As a first step, Song Xibai negotiated with the Crown Prince to become his subordinate, believing that his medical skills would be very useful to the Crown Prince.
The second option... is the fake death drug she just mentioned.
Song Xibai originally intended to reveal part of it to Dingxiang, hoping to get Latin Fragrance's help.
As a result, it was a complete misunderstanding!
"In my opinion, the Crown Prince is quite fond of you. Since you're already in here, why not take advantage of this opportunity to win him over and have a son as soon as possible? That way, even if the Crown Prince changes his mind later, you can still help your son ascend the throne... Waaah! Why are you covering my mouth?"
Song Xibai was absolutely furious with her.
Is it okay to say such things so casually?
"I was wrong, you're actually making things worse!"
