Dugu Yu, who was free, rushed towards Lin Xiafeng again. Qin Qingyao also gave Zhao Jinghan a look at the same time. Just as Prince Duan and the Crown Prince were about to take action, they were stopped.
Qin Qingyao personally grabbed Prince Duan, while the Crown Prince was stopped by Zhao Jinghan.
After Dugu Yu rushed over, his ferocious face looked as if he wanted to eat Lin Xiafeng alive, which frightened the two young ladies who were supporting Lin Xiafeng so much that they screamed and ran away with their heads in their hands.
Lin Xiafeng had nowhere to hide and retreated all the way until she hit the table. Dugu Yu's body was almost touching Lin Xiafeng, but his fists raised high missed her body and hit the table behind him.
With a loud bang, the fine mahogany table shattered to the ground. Dugu Yu's hand was bleeding, but Lin Xiafeng's hair was not broken.
Qin Qingyao let go of Ling Jingxuan and went over to hold Dugu Yu's hand to check, but he waved her away.
Qin Qingyao looked at the blue veins on Dugu Yu's neck. He looked like he was suffering from the torture of poison but had no way to vent his pain. Her heart was bleeding.
"So, you're still saying that my prince is drunk and wants to kill Miss Lin? Can someone explain to me what kind of killing is this?"
The people around looked at each other in confusion, but no one said anything. Anyone who said that King Wu Ling was drunk at this time would be really not in a clear mind.
As for why the prince didn't meet Miss Lin, it might be because he loved her too deeply and couldn't bear to take action!
"Zhao Jinghan, take the prince back to his room. Baizhi, go get the doctor immediately!"
"yes!"
After receiving the order, Zhao Jinghan ruthlessly pressed Dugu Yu's acupoints, then trapped him and left.
"Butler, show the guests out!"
After Qin Qingyao finished speaking, she didn't say hello to the people inside and just followed Zhao Jinghan away.
Prince Duan sighed heavily, realizing that everything had been going wrong for him recently, especially with the couple in Prince Wuling's Mansion.
Every time he tried to build good relationships with them, problems always arose, giving them more reasons to hate him.
Last time, Qin Qingyao was injured, and this time, Dugu Yu was attacked like this, right in his own home...
Although they didn't say it, Ming Ruoxi and Qi Luoyuan looked at Lin Xiafeng with a bit of ridicule and mockery in their eyes.
Prince Wu Ling confessed his feelings to her like this today. No matter if he was drunk or poisoned, the princess would definitely not feel happy. There will be a good show to watch in the future.
After this group of people left, the news that King Wu Ling confessed his love to the Sixth Miss of the Lin family in public while drunk spread throughout the streets and alleys of Yulin City.
As the saying goes, truth comes out when drunk. It seems that the prince is really in love with Miss Lin and can't help but miss her even after marrying the princess!
The confusing love life of the couple in Prince Wu Ling's mansion is really full of ups and downs. Who does Prince Wu Ling love?
There were even some curious people in the city who set up a bet on whether Lin Xiafeng would marry into Prince Wuling's palace within three months.
Everyone turned into detectives, looking for clues and proof of love between the two, to figure out which side to bet on.
The two people who were used in the bet were Lin Xiafeng, who spent the whole day at home doing what she was supposed to do. No matter how noisy outside, she looked calm and unmoved, like a mountain.
It seemed as if she herself was not one of the protagonists of this matter.
As for Dugu Yu, the doctor was unable to cure his poison, so Zhao Jinghan had no choice but to invite Murong Ce.
When Murong Ce saw Dugu Yu's miserable state, he not only did not feel the slightest bit of sympathy for his brother, but instead took advantage of him and smiled at him in a very disrespectful manner.
Qin Qingyao had always had a good impression of him, but now she was also angry, "Military Advisor Murong, what are you laughing at?"
"Oh, sorry, Princess, please don't worry. The poison the prince was poisoned with is called Wugui Powder. It looks scary, but it's actually not very harmful to the body. There is no antidote required. He will be fine in five hours."
"What is the Five Puppet Powder?"
"This is actually a prankster thing used in the martial arts world. Someone actually used it on the prince. They're quite brave."
Qin Qingyao, "I don't want to hear you praise the person who hurt my husband!"
Murong Ce finally saw Qin Qingyao's seriousness and completely put away his joking intention. He had seen too many things in the martial arts world so he was not surprised, but Qin Qingyao had never seen it before.
Dugu Yu's condition today must have scared her to death.
"This Five Puppet Powder actually means 'five-hour puppets'. Those poisoned will suffer from temporary mental dementia."
"All he remembered was the fictional world he was given, the words he was told, and the things he was told to do during the half hour he was poisoned. He didn't remember anything else."
"This drug doesn't cause much damage to the body after it's taken, but when it takes effect, it feels like your whole body is burning like flames. Apart from the pain, you're unaware of the outside world. So, it's quite vicious."
Qin Qingyao clenched his fists, his body shaking uncontrollably. "How could a pervert make such a poison!"
Isn't this the equivalent of a neurotoxin? Modern medicine has never heard of anyone being able to control someone's thoughts, words, and actions in this way!
"Ahem," Murong Ce touched his nose, "Come to think of it, Dugu should be quite familiar with this poison."
"What do you mean?"
Murong Ce, "This is what his master first came up with."
Qin Qingyao, "..."
How miserable Dugu Yu's life was before he joined the army, and how perverted his master was, were only briefly mentioned in the original novel, which only briefly explained the growth background of the second male lead.
But only Dugu Yu himself knew how painful, tormented, and miserable these words were for him.
Had his master used this drug to control him before, just for fun?
Qin Qingyao stared at Dugu Yu lying on the bed without moving, and didn't even notice that tears were falling.
Seeing Qin Qingyao crying, Murong Ce finally became anxious, "Princess, don't worry. If someone else took this medicine, they would definitely not be so quiet right now."
"It's only Dugu. He's suffered a lot before, so this won't bother him at all. Just let him have a good rest and have a good sleep."
"Thank you, Military Advisor Murong. I'm sorry to bother you. I'd like to stay here with him for a while. I won't see you off!"
Murong Ce wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to start. Maybe the more he said, the more annoying he would be. So he decided to leave quickly. It was his fault for mocking Dugu Yu just now.
Qin Qingyao sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to touch Dugu Yu's face. His face was flushed and his temperature was extremely high. Even if the poison did not harm his body, if the fever continued to be so high, it would ruin his body.
"Baizhi, go get a basin of cold water and two towels."
"yes."
Qin Qingyao was unwilling to ask others to take care of Dugu Yu, so she stayed with him by herself, wiping his body and applying cold compresses to his forehead to cool him down, hoping that he would feel better.
She couldn't imagine what life was like for Dugu Yu when he was controlled by his master. When he was used by his master to test drugs again and again, was there anyone who felt sorry for him? Was there anyone who took care of him?
When she saw the wounds of varying sizes on his body, she felt her heart ache. Except for the scar on his shoulder that was caused while saving Lin Xiafeng, she didn't know the rest of the injuries.
But she could imagine how much pain he must be in.
Under Qin Qingyao's careful care, Dugu Yu opened his eyes as soon as it got dark.
At this time, his body temperature had almost returned to normal, but his eyes were still frighteningly red.
"Honey, are you awake? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Are you hungry? Why don't you drink some water first?"
Qin Qingyao brought some water to Dugu Yu, but Dugu Yu just sat on the bed motionless, his whole body in a dazed state.
It wasn't until Qin Qingyao put down the water cup and hugged him that he came to his senses.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know if this was true."
Qin Qingyao thought of what Murong Ce said, that people who were poisoned by the Five Puppet Powder would only have the world that others had created for them when they were first poisoned in their minds. She felt a dull pain in her heart but she didn't dare to show it.
She knew that Dugu Yu looked confused just now, but he didn't dare to act rashly for fear of hurting her.
She took Dugu Yu's hand and placed it on her face. "Now, do you understand?"
Dugu Yu smiled at Qin Qingyao, then nodded, "I understand."
Qin Qingyao suddenly hugged Dugu Yu and put her chin on his shoulder, not wanting him to see her crying out of heartache again.
"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
"I'm hungry. Anything will do. Hurry up."
"Okay, let's go to the restaurant and wait now, okay?"
Dugu Yu nodded, got dressed and got out of bed.
On the way to the restaurant, Qin Qingyao held his hand and walked half a step ahead of him. The two of them didn't speak, and Qin Qingyao didn't look back.
At the dining table, when Qin Qingyao went to serve Dugu Yu some food, he finally spoke first, "You know I'm poisoned, right?"
Qin Qingyao pretended to be relaxed and said, "Well, as for the Five Puppet Powder, Military Advisor Murong has already told me about it. He said it won't be harmful to your body. Come and eat."
Dugu Yu grabbed Qin Qingyao's hand as she was about to pick up some food for him, and continued, "After he died, no one in this world was more familiar with the Five Puppet Powder than me."
"I knew the water was poisonous, and I drank it on purpose."
Qin Qingyao stood in front of Dugu Yu in a daze, her body stiff. She wanted to pretend that she was not worried or afraid at all. She even wanted to give Dugu Yu a smile to comfort him and stop him from thinking about the dark pain in the past.
But she couldn't do it. She couldn't say anything or make any expression.
"He fed me Wugui Powder before. The first time was to test the medicine, then it was for fun, to appreciate the power of his new medicine, and later he asked me to do some heinous things for him."
"But after the effects of the Five Puppet Powder wear off, I will forget everything I did while I was poisoned. So I never know where I went, who I met, or what I did during those five hours."
Qin Qingyao threw herself into Dugu Yu's arms, hugged his neck with one hand and gently patted his back with the other.
"It's over. Don't think about it. He's dead. No one will bully you like that again. Never again!"
