Chapter 688: Confused and Infatuated
Liu Jian closed the door with his backhand and pressed his back against it.
He couldn't let his sister be seen like this.
He looked at San Ya curled up on the footstool from afar, his heart beating like a drum, but his feet seemed to have taken root and he didn't dare to take a single step forward.
He kept telling himself in his heart: His sister is helpless and unconscious at the moment, but he is awake!
If he takes advantage of others' misfortune, what difference is there between him and an animal?
Afterwards, he will be ashamed and will not be able to face his sister when she wakes up.
But he absolutely could not leave - if he left her here alone, if anything happened, he would be blamed for it.
The huge struggle tore at him, and he had no choice but to force himself to speak, his voice dry and trembling with nervousness: "Sister, sister...what's going on? You...why are you here? Who is..."
San Ya raised her head following the sound, and her hazy eyes focused with effort, and finally she recognized that the figure at the door who was so nervous that he was almost unable to move his hands and feet was Liu Jian.
Her tense heartstrings inexplicably relaxed, and she managed to force a faint smile from her lips: "It's you... You're here..."
It was someone familiar, which relaxed her tense nerves a little.
But this relaxation was like a crack in a broken dam, and the fierce and unfamiliar desire in the body suddenly surged even more violently.
Her eyes were uncontrollably glued to Liu Jian's lips as they opened and closed. The soft curve of his lips continued to magnify in her eyes, as if carrying a fatal temptation that made her mouth dry. There was only one absurd yet strong thought in her mind - to be like the goblins in the strange stories, to desperately try to taste the legendary "Tang Monk's flesh".
Reason is engaged in a fierce battle with instinct.
San Ya turned her face away suddenly, her voice broken and almost pleading: "Liu Jian... come here... knock me out... quickly! Knock me out!"
She was afraid that if she stayed a moment later, she would do something irreparable.
When Liu Jian heard this, his heart was broken.
He could no longer stand far away, so he rushed to San Ya and squatted down. He looked at her struggling in pain, but he couldn't let his raised hand fall down no matter what - how could he bear to hit her?
At the moment he hesitated, the last trace of clarity in San Ya's eyes was completely swallowed up by the waves.
In a state of confusion and passion, she raised her hand almost subconsciously, relying on her body's instincts and the reaction she had trained over the years, and with a precise and sharp knife move, she chopped Liu Jian's neck cleanly.
Liu Jian didn't even have time to react. He felt a pain on the side of his neck and his vision went black. All his struggles and worries disappeared in an instant. His body fell limply and he lost all consciousness.
The servant's search for Doctor Hu was not smooth, and after going around in circles for several times, he finally found him in the Marquis' Mansion.
Fortunately, life is back on track now and Dr. Hu has started to quit drinking again.
So he didn't drink a drop of alcohol tonight.
He had heard that the prince was unwell, so he originally didn't want to go.
——That is the imperial physician’s job, and he doesn’t want to take away his job.
But then he heard that the patient was ill in the Duke's Mansion, so Doctor Hu thought to himself, forget it, I'll go and take a look.
After all, Yun Ting is one of us now.
If anything happens to the Crown Prince in the Duke's Mansion, his own people will be implicated.
Go ahead, go ahead, after he finishes eating the women’s, he can eat the men’s. He can have two meals today.
Doctor Hu went home to get the medicine box, which delayed him for more than half an hour.
Poor Ba Liang, hearing the rustling noises in the house, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing around in the yard.
No, his life is in danger!
He knew that the Queen did not like the third girl marrying the Prince.
But the prince is a stubborn person. Since it is beyond description, he will definitely take responsibility to the end.
The masters are in a stalemate, so aren't they the servants the ones who suffer in the end?
But on second thought, if the prince got what he wanted, he would be happy for him.
If you suffer a little, just consider it as a gift.
But don't suffer too much...
wrong.
The third girl didn't know what to think about this matter.
The third girl appeared here and was tricked. This is a very strange thing.
What if, looking back, the prince took advantage of her, and the third girl thought that the prince had orchestrated all this?
Then, wouldn't the prince have to cut out his heart and show it to the third lady?
There's no telling what kind of trouble these two are going to cause.
The more Ba Liang thought about it, the more desperate he became.
Forget it, let it be destroyed.
I don’t know how those idiots under me do things. I called for a doctor, but he hasn’t come yet!
Balian paced anxiously in the yard, feeling that every breath was extremely long.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear a very slight sound of something breaking through the air, and something passed by him quickly.
He was greatly alarmed and immediately followed the sound out of the courtyard, but it was dark and silent outside, and there was no one in sight.
wrong!
An ominous premonition suddenly seized him, and he cried out "Oh no" inwardly. He hurriedly turned around and rushed back to the yard, nervously checking the doors and windows - they were all closed tightly, and there was no sign of any intrusion.
Only then did Balian heave a long sigh of relief and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking that he might have been too nervous and had an illusion.
But the Duke's Mansion today is really weird.
Putting aside other things, the fact that the third girl showed up and was tricked by someone means that the bad guys are not far away from them.
Thinking of this, Ba Liang pricked up his ears and became more cautious.
After a moment of agony, hurried footsteps were finally heard outside the yard.
Ba Liang felt something and immediately went to meet him. It turned out to be Doctor Hu rushing over with a medicine box on his back.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Doctor Hu is here!" Balian hurried forward and knocked on the door, his voice trembling.
The room was silent for a moment before Liu Jian's slightly hoarse and low voice was heard: "...Come in."
Balian pushed open the door, but did not dare to go in. He just turned sideways and glanced quickly into the room.
This one glimpse made his eyes widen instantly—he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lying alone on the bed, fully clothed, his face a strangely flushed color. And in the room… where was the Third Young Lady?!
He looked around again in disbelief, and there was indeed no one there.
The third girl just now clearly...
How could that be?
Where did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hide the person?
That’s not right. Doctor Hu came here to see the third girl.
Now that people are hiding, what are you still looking at?
Doctor Hu wrinkled his nose. There was a faint, almost imperceptible sweet smell in the air, mixed with some indescribable taste.
He had been married for many years and had a vague idea of what was going on. However, seeing that Liu Jian didn't look seriously injured, he wisely chose to remain silent. He simply stepped forward and asked, as if it were a matter of routine: "What's wrong with your Highness the Crown Prince?"
This kid is really good at causing trouble for him.
Liu Jian avoided his gaze, speaking as calmly as possible, though he could not conceal his guilt. "It's nothing serious, I just had a few too many drinks at the banquet and felt a little dizzy. I'm feeling much better after a short rest. It's all because of Baliang's fussing. I'm sorry to bother you in the middle of the night."
