Poisoning
The imperial physician said, "Your Highness, I will wait outside." He and Huang Ying went out one after the other.
Only then did Shangguan Zeyu dare to truly relax completely.
He stared intently at Jiang Yan, looking at the face he had seen countless times, and a particularly strong, indescribable mix of emotions suddenly welled up in his heart.
Who exactly is she?
Isn't the eldest daughter of the Liu family particularly weak and timid?
Why did he see courage and strategy in her?
Was her previous vulnerability and vulnerability merely a facade born of necessity for survival?
But the living environment in the Prince's Mansion was much more complicated than that in the Liu Mansion.
Isn't she afraid?
Why didn't she try to please and flatter him like the others?
What is she thinking?
What was her purpose in feigning closeness?
He didn't believe she was doing all this to get his attention and affection!
As Shangguan Zeyu looked at Jiang Yan, he couldn't help but reach out his right hand to touch Jiang Yan's cheek. When he suddenly realized what was happening, he was startled.
He's never been so bewitched before!
What's wrong with him?
Could it be that I've really fallen in love with her?
Upon realizing this, Shangguan Zeyu's eyes widened instantly. He stared in disbelief at his right hand, which had inexplicably touched Jiang Yan's cheek, and remained motionless for a long time.
Jiang Yan fell asleep again shortly after waking up.
Shangguan Zeyu sat quietly by the bed, looking at her with a heavy heart, until he personally fed her the medicine before taking Zhang Qin into the palace.
When he returned from the palace exhausted in the evening, ready to visit Jiang Yan again, Wu Lanyu stopped him on the way.
"Your Highness, I've been waiting for you for so long! You're finally back!!"
Shangguan Zeyu frowned slightly before smiling gently.
"Lan Yu, is there something you need from me?"
Wu Yulan said reproachfully, "Your Highness! Do I have to have something important to say before I can see you?"
Shangguan Zeyu feigned self-deprecation and said, "It seems I misspoke!"
"Your Highness, you are not mistaken. I have learned a new skill and made a bowl of chilled lotus seed soup. Please try it."
Shangguan Zeyu glanced subtly in the direction of Pear Blossom Residence, feeling a pang of regret, but still led Wu Lanyu back to Cloud Pavilion.
"Your Highness, you haven't visited me in so long! I miss you so much!!"
Upon entering the room, before Shangguan Zeyu could even change his clothes and sit down, Wu Lanyu impatiently hugged him, rubbing her cheeks against his chest like a spoiled kitten.
Shangguan Zeyu was very annoyed, but he forced himself to endure it.
"Lan Yu, allow me to change my clothes first. I'm tired!"
Wu Lanyu didn't dare to take advantage of him, especially after hearing the weariness and low tone in Shangguan Zeyu's voice.
"This humble servant will assist Your Highness in changing your clothes."
"No need. Lan Yu brought some food, go and prepare it." Shangguan Zeyu smiled slightly and walked towards the bed.
Wu Lanyu thought that Shangguan Zeyu was considerate of her, and she was overjoyed. She hurriedly went to prepare chilled lotus seed soup.
Shangguan Zeyu, dressed in a white robe embroidered with green bamboo, walked to the desk.
He originally had a dedicated study, but for convenience, he also placed a table in his bedroom to handle less important official business.
Seeing Shangguan Zeyu walk towards the desk, Wu Lanyu quickly carried the chilled lotus seed soup she had prepared to him.
"Your Highness, please try it and see if it's palatable."
Shangguan Zeyu smiled slightly, took it, and tasted a small bite.
"Mmm, sweet but not cloying, cool and refreshing, soft and chewy. Lan Yu, you've put a lot of thought into it."
Seeing that Shangguan Zeyu liked it, Wu Lanyu smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it, Your Highness. I'll learn to cook more dishes for you in the future."
“Lan Yu has to walk quite a distance from Lan Hua Yu to Yun Xiao Ge. The weather is getting hotter every day. Lan Yu should stay in Lan Hua Yu and rest well, and avoid overexertion.”
Upon hearing that Shangguan Zeyu was concerned about her, Wu Lanyu excitedly replied, "Your Highness, I don't mind the hard work! I'm willing to do anything to please you."
Shangguan Zeyu smiled slightly again, glanced at her, and opened a book in front of him.
Wu Lanyu thought that Shangguan Zeyu was quite good to her, and wondered if she should take the opportunity to make a bigger move and seduce him. Just as she was thinking about what to do, Shangguan Zeyu suddenly went limp and leaned back in his chair.
"Your Highness?" Wu Lanyu, unaware of what had happened, rushed towards him in a panic.
Shangguan Zeyu's cheeks were as red as peach blossoms, especially his lips, which were even more alluringly red.
Sweat beaded on his forehead in the blink of an eye, densely packed and layered.
He seemed to be enduring something intensely, in great pain, but he couldn't muster any strength. He couldn't even utter a word; his eyes, filled with discomfort, were fixed on Wu Lanyu as she cautiously approached him.
"Your Highness? Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Wu Lanyu couldn't understand the wariness in Shangguan Zeyu's eyes, but she could see his discomfort.
She thought Shangguan Zeyu was sick, so she hurriedly prepared to call Zhang Qin, but she stopped abruptly after only one step.
The prince just returned from the palace. He was perfectly fine just now. How could he suddenly fall ill?
This is definitely not a sign of illness!
It must be... just like last time... poisoned.
But whether she was poisoned like last time, she needed to test her to be sure.
Wu Lanyu slowly turned around and walked towards Shangguan Zeyu.
With each step she took, the warning in Shangguan Zeyu's eyes deepened. By the time she reached Shangguan Zeyu's side, his eyes were already cold and sharp, like a blade ready to kill her!
Why doesn't the prince want her to get close?
Could it be that the prince was really poisoned?
Wu Lanyu was overjoyed, and an excited smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
Hesitantly, she reached out her right hand, trembling, and slowly touched Shangguan Zeyu's cheek, which was as red as a pomegranate. Then, she gently slid her hand down his cheek to his smooth, glossy chin, then down his slender neck, and then...
Wu Lanyu placed her fair, smooth right hand, as white as a scallion root, on Shangguan Zeyu's chest.
Because she saw the strong warning in Shangguan Zeyu's eyes!
He wouldn't let her touch him!!!
He wouldn't let her touch him, so why did he tremble with excitement and a hint of pleasure in his eyes when she only touched him lightly, like a feather brushing against his skin?
That's right!
He, the prince, the always aloof, self-possessed, and distant Prince Duan, has once again fallen under the spell of aphrodisiacs!
ha!
Is this an opportunity given to her by God?
I hope she can be like Shen Qianqian, having a son in one fell swoop, and then advancing all the way until she sits on the throne of a princess.
Wu Lanyu smiled as she looked at Shangguan Zeyu, who was in pain and trying his best to endure it, and then lovingly stroked his cheek with her left hand.
She softly said, "Your Highness, I have waited too long for this day!!! I will serve Your Highness well!!!"
As she spoke, she bent down slightly and pressed her red lips, which looked as red as dewdrops, tightly against Shangguan Zeyu's lips, which were slightly parted due to pain and discomfort.
Shangguan Zeyu was startled as if struck by lightning, his eyes snapping open. Then he gradually calmed down, becoming engrossed in the moment. But before long, his eyes once again revealed a chilling coldness that could freeze a person to death and a clear-sighted understanding of everything.
He's resisting!
Strongly resisting!!
On the one hand, he wanted the antidote to save him, but on the other hand, he didn't want such an antidote!
He was resisting his body's desires with unwavering willpower!
What an agonizing ordeal this was!!!
It's like being so thirsty you're about to die, but you just have to resist taking a sip of water.
Blood was flowing from the corner of Shangguan Zeyu's eye.
His eyes were wide open because of his struggle.
He finally gritted his teeth and closed his lips!
Wu Lanyu was surprised that Shangguan Zeyu, despite his physical weakness, was able to grit his teeth and smile sadly amidst his astonishment.
"Your Highness, do you hate me that much? You're already like this, and you still don't want me to touch you?"
Shangguan Zeyu just stared at her with a stern face, warning her.
Wu Lanyu gave a desolate smile: "So all the kindness Your Highness showed me was fake? Otherwise, why would you endure it even in this state? Why would you harm yourself to endure it?"
Seeing Shangguan Zeyu clench his teeth and bleed from the corner of his mouth, Wu Lanyu gently dabbed at it with her right index finger, and a bewitching red plum blossom suddenly bloomed on her rounded fingertip.
Everyone says plum blossoms have a proud spirit, but I just don't believe it!!!
After saying that, Wu Lanyu seemed to have made up her mind, and suddenly pounced on Shangguan Zeyu. Then, like a starving ghost seeing food, she wolfed down her food, kissing and licking Shangguan Zeyu's face and neck indiscriminately.
Shangguan Zeyu was heartbroken!
He was in agony but helpless, and could only close his eyes and be a lamb to the slaughter.
