Are you trying to force-feed me the secret medicine?
"Your Majesty... this old servant has done his best!" Feng Shun groaned weakly, barely daring to breathe.
"Who allowed you to come in?" Xiao Yu knelt on the bed with a dark face, his legs spread apart and thick bedding squeezed between them. His inner shirt was half open, and a strand of black hair meandered down his chest in a carefully designed manner. He stood up angrily, half-lifted the curtain, and shouted with a red face and thick neck, "Let go of me! Feng Shun is going to suffocate from being suffocated by you!"
Wei Shuang kept his eyes straight ahead, put down the person he was using to trip him up, and said honestly, "Your Majesty, I have something to give to you."
The faint aroma of wine in the hall was normal. Xiao Yu's expression softened slightly, and he curiously raised his eyes: "What is this? Bring it here so I can see it."
Wei Shuang froze in place. He closed his eyes and turned his back, the aroma of wine on his body momentarily swaying: "No rush, Your Majesty, please change your clothes."
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, her face flushed, she lowered the curtain and angrily chased Wei Shuang to kneel in the outer hall.
After Feng Shun personally helped him with a simple wash and change of clothes, Xiao Yu, with his hair down, wearing an exceptionally fitted black dragon robe and a loosely tied black belt with gold filigree around his waist, reappeared before Wei Shuang with a rather dignified air.
Xiao Yu sat down in the armchair, resting his hands on the imperial desk, and said listlessly, "You can hand over the things now."
Wei Shuang calmly stood up, unfolded the brocade box in her sleeve, revealing a dark pearl that seemed to reside in a spacious room.
"What is this?" Of all the items presented, only the brocade box was barely acceptable. Xiao Yu frowned and covered his nose to avoid the pungent medicinal smell emanating from the center.
"It is a secret medicine that I obtained from the Imperial Hospital."
The Imperial Medical Academy possesses a secret royal medicine. Children born from the union of Heaven and Earth, if given this medicine before differentiation, will inevitably differentiate into a unique and exceptional offspring.
All imperial heirs of the Great Liang Dynasty who were designated as crown princes before the division of the imperial family would take this medicine.
Wei Shuang became worried after hearing Xiao Yu savor her own incense yesterday.
The two men's love scents were destined to be mutually exclusive, but Xiao Yu showed affection for his own love scent.
Xiao Yu had turned fifteen, and the period from fifteen to seventeen was a high-risk period for differentiation. Wei Shuang was afraid that if she delayed even half a day, the new emperor would differentiate into the only Kun emperor in her hands. The more Wei Shuang thought about it, the more panicked she became. As soon as it was dawn, she took the secret medicine that the late emperor had repeatedly instructed her to give before his death and went out.
"A secret medicine?" Xiao Yu picked up the brocade box, looked at it, and then tossed it aside with disdain.
The emperors of the Great Liang Dynasty have a long-standing fondness for elixirs. When Xiao Yu was still being raised in the palace, the late emperor was only thirty years old and already needed someone to support him. It was clear that the elixirs had drained his strength, yet he still listened to slander and, in order to achieve so-called immortality, he praised a group of alchemists who only knew how to concoct elixirs to an extremely high level.
And then there's that former imperial advisor who said he was an omen of bad luck.
Damn warlock!
Yesterday he thought Wei Shuang was different from others, but it turns out she's just a blind man who treasures wicked pills. No wonder she can perform strange and demonic magic and manipulate her own eyes.
“Your Imperial Uncle has achieved great merit outside the capital. He passed the imperial examination at the age of seventeen and recovered Beijun at the age of twenty. He has made outstanding military achievements. How could you learn from others and use the methods of a treacherous minister?” Xiao Yu suppressed the goodwill he had just developed towards Wei Shuang, closed the brocade box, and smiled at Wei Shuang with a distant look: “I do not eat these things. Pills are harmful to the body.”
"It's not a pill concocted by a sorcerer, but a secret medicine specially made by the Imperial Medical Academy. The Crown Prince of Liang has taken it. His Majesty is about to undergo a transformation, so it's best to take it sooner rather than later," Wei Shuang explained patiently as much as possible.
"Does something have to have been used to be good? I won't use it." Xiao Yu's face turned cold, and he resolutely pushed the brocade box away.
If it were truly medicine from the Imperial Hospital, how could it have been delivered to the palace by you, Wei Shuang?
Xiao Yu warily looked Wei Shuang up and down beside him, thinking to himself, "Is this something that I can't live without once I start using it? Is it for better control over me?"
What a Wei Shuang! Such thoughts hidden beneath her thick eyebrows and large eyes.
"Your Majesty, please don't be willful." After much persuasion, Wei Shuang ran out of ideas and lowered his voice.
Xiao Yu lazily raised her eyes with a forced smile.
What? You want to force-feed me?
Unexpectedly, Wei Shuang suddenly strode towards Xiao Yu. In an instant, all the fragrant herbs of Gan Junxin came out. Before Xiao Yu could react, Wei Shuang decisively pinched Xiao Yu's cheek.
Xiao Yu: "...???"
Xiao Yu belatedly recalled Wei Shuang's ruthless and decisive reputation.
Is this guy serious?
"Get out of my way! I will never submit!" Xiao Yu shouted angrily, his words muffled, his cheeks flushed red.
"I have no choice but to accept the late emperor's edict. Your Majesty, please do not blame me for using some methods." Wei Shuang was completely at a loss when it came to dealing with a pampered prince like Xiao Yu. There were occasionally rebellious young generals in the army who were about the same age as the new emperor, but they could be subdued with just a lesson in military law. Xiao Yu's body was precious, so he could not be hit or argued with, but pinching his cheek should not be considered an offense.
Glug.
A sour pill rolled deep down her tongue, and Xiao Yu was surprised to find that the pressure on both sides of her cheeks had disappeared.
Xiao Yu tried her best to spit out the pill, but when the knuckles pressed against her Adam's apple, she had no choice but to follow her instincts and swallow the pill.
The pill melted instantly in his mouth, and the bitter taste slid down his throat. Xiao Yu didn't even have time to induce vomiting!
Even if he is not favored, he is still a prince. Xiao Yu has never suffered such humiliation!
"Insolence!" Xiao Yu could discern the scent of the Lord's Spirit, but it had not yet differentiated, making him no different from an ordinary Ze Dui. At this moment, under the intimidation of the Lord's Spirit released by Wei Shuang, he was powerless, his golden eyes welling up with tears, like an angry kitten poised to pounce. "What did you feed me?!"
"The Imperial Medical Academy's secret medicine, once taken, will ensure that you will definitely differentiate into a male prince during the second differentiation. It's not a bad thing..." Wei Shuang looked away, his heart skipped a beat. He stood up, put away the offensive male prince incense around him, took two steps back and bowed.
"You acted first and reported later, why should I believe you!" Xiao Yu's stomach, which had not eaten, was burning due to the secret medicine. His expression changed slightly, regretting his carelessness in allowing the Regent to succeed. He gripped the corner of the table tightly, his fingertips turning white from the force.
"Your Majesty may not believe it, but it makes no difference to me." Wei Shuang took a deep breath, immersed in the satisfaction of finally successfully feeding Xiao Yu the secret medicine.
Xiao Yu suddenly remembered his seventeen or eighteen elder brothers who had died tragically, and smiled self-deprecatingly.
It turned out that seventeen or eighteen people died while testing the medicine, which is how the emperor's throne fell into his hands.
Very well, now I'm going to die too.
Another sharp pain shot through her abdomen, and Xiao Yu's already pale face turned instantly ashen.
"Your Majesty!" Wei Shuang saw that Xiao Yu's distressed expression seemed genuine. He frowned and wanted to step forward to check on him, but was blocked by several menacing calligraphy brushes.
"Stand there! Don't come any closer!" Xiao Yu clutched her stomach and stood up abruptly, her golden eyes fixed warily on Wei Shuang.
In just a few breaths, the burning sensation in his stomach slowly spread throughout his body. The weakness caused by the incense from the dried ginseng was slightly relieved, but the discomfort that followed was a dry mouth and dizziness.
Xiao Yu had to lean on the imperial desk to steady himself.
This new reaction doesn't seem like poisoning, it's more like... like being given some kind of unspeakable drug!
Wei Shuang, seemingly unable to understand human speech, strode forward and forcefully grabbed Xiao Yu's wrist. The scent of her glands, which unconsciously diffused, turned bitter as her owner became helpless.
Xiao Yu, who was already burning up, smelled the bitter and strong scent of wine on Wei Shuang's body. He covered his chest, gagged, and spat. Then, his body suddenly felt light, as if he had been lifted into the air by Wei Shuang.
"What are you doing? Put me down!!!" Reappearing in Wei Shuang's arms, Xiao Yu subconsciously struggled. He kicked his legs hard, and the more he kicked, the hotter his body became, making people panic.
"Your Majesty, please don't move. Let me carry you to the bed first." Xiao Yu struggled fiercely, so Wei Shuang had to hold the person in her arms even tighter.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu was even more furious. The aphrodisiac, which was even more unacceptable than poison, was forced to take the lead. He lowered his voice in astonishment and shouted, "You fed me that kind of drug, did you want to climb into my dragon bed?"
I am only fifteen and have not yet matured. Wei Shuang took advantage of my vulnerability.
The pressure emanating from Gan Jun made Xiao Yu grit her teeth in anger.
Feng Shun's seemingly unintentional reminder from last night suddenly became clear at this moment. Xiao Yu raised her head and glanced at Wei Shuang's bobbing Adam's apple. Her face flushed red with shame and anger. She used her dizzy head to bang against Wei Shuang's chest.
Wei Shuang loosened her arms, her face upright: "..."
In just a moment, Xiao Yu turned himself into a ball of fluff, the mist in his eyes growing stronger, and his once imposing golden eyes suddenly changed their expression.
"Wei Shuang, this is treason!" Before the words were even finished, Xiao Yu was lightly slapped on the buttocks. He took a deep breath and widened his eyes.
"You dare hit me?!" He was slapped hard again.
"Your Majesty, please behave yourself. If you continue to act recklessly, I cannot guarantee anything." Wei Shuang shook the hot charcoal in her arms, the veins on her forehead throbbing.
Xiao Yu: "..."
A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years. Wei Shuang, you just wait.
It only took two screens to get from the outer hall to the inner chamber, but Xiao Yu felt as if Wei Shuang had walked for hundreds of years.
Upon reaching the dragon bed, Xiao Yu finally managed to jump down from Wei Shuang's arms. He quickly hid on the dragon bed, clinging to the bed rails and pulling the curtains tight.
Wei Shuang chuckled softly, stopped in her tracks, and carefully concealed every wisp of her fragrance: "I'm not going over there."
"Then get out." Xiao Yu's muffled voice came from inside the tightly closed curtains. "Otherwise, I'll call someone in."
The weak, listless movements sounded utterly harmless.
Wei Shuang remained unmoved: "I have already sent Eunuch Feng to summon the imperial physician."
Seeing his trusted confidant being sent away, Xiao Yu wisely rolled himself back into bed.
Frustrated, she threw her pillow down.
A moment later, the imperial physician, carrying a small medicine box, rushed to the steps of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
