Chapter 140 The Prince's "Deep Detoxification" Social Death Scene
The study room of the royal palace in Yanmao District is filled with the scent of sandalwood and is quiet and peaceful.
Dongfang Yuning hummed a little tune and walked briskly with a plate of freshly baked, still steaming osmanthus cake, intending to send it to her husband who was handling government affairs.
She pushed open the half-open study door with a sweet smile on her face:
"Husband, try my new..."
The voice stopped abruptly.
She saw Nangong Ye standing beside the desk with his back to her, holding a small white jade bowl in his hand. The bowl was filled with a dark brown liquid that exuded a faint herbal scent that she had never smelled before.
He seemed to be about to drink it, but when he heard her voice, he paused noticeably, then quickly put the bowl down. When he turned around, a familiar doting smile was on his face.
"Ning'er is here?"
He naturally stepped forward and tried to take the plate of pastries from her hand.
But Dongfang Yuning's eyes were fixed on the white jade bowl.
That medicinal smell... isn't right! This is definitely not an ordinary tonic!
"Husband,"
She put down the cake, walked a few steps to the desk, pointed at the bowl of medicine, her clear almond eyes filled with doubts and a subtle nervousness.
"What are you drinking?"
Nangong Ye looked normal, even with a helpless smile, and reached out to rub the top of her head:
"It's nothing, just a bowl of medicine to regulate the body. Ning'er, don't worry."
"Treat your body?"
Dongfang Yuning looked at him suspiciously. Nangong Ye was a strong and healthy man with superb martial arts skills and deep internal energy. He rarely caught a cold. What did he need to treat?
"Husband, tell me the truth! What is this bowl of medicine for? Don't lie to me!"
Her tone was filled with a coquettish command, and she put her hands on her hips, looking like she would not give up until she got an answer.
Nangong Ye looked at her cute and stubborn appearance, and felt both warm and bitter in his heart.
He was silent for a moment, knowing that he could no longer hide it, he sighed, and gently held her in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head. His voice was low and gentle, with a hint of indescribable pity:
"Ning'er... this is medicine that will allow Ning'er to temporarily not have a baby..."
boom--!
It was like thunder from the sky exploding in my head!
Dongfang Yuning's whole body stiffened, as if an invisible ice cone had pierced his heart!
All the doubts were answered in an instant, followed by overwhelming pain and overwhelming self-blame!
Let Ning'er not take the baby's medicine for the time being...
He was drinking contraceptive soup? He was drinking it?!
For her! For her casual mention of wanting to play for a few more years and not be tied down by children so soon!
He actually chose to endure it silently and drink this drug that would definitely harm a man's body?!
Her heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, the pain so severe that she could barely breathe. A sour feeling instantly rushed to the tip of her nose, and her eyes grew hot and red uncontrollably.
【System! 118!】
She screamed in her mind, almost collapsing, her voice filled with tears.
[That medicine! Will it harm him?! Wuuuuuuu… Am I being too selfish?!]
I was only concerned with my own happiness and didn't want to have children... I never thought about him... He is not young anymore.
In this day and age, when other people are his age, their children are already old enough to help with cooking… He loves children so much… But I… I let him… Wow… I’m selfish! I’m so selfish!]
A huge sense of guilt overwhelmed her like a tide. She only saw that she did not want to be bound, but ignored the deep love and silent dedication of the man beside her.
He is a prince and holds power, but for her freedom and happiness, he is willing to take on responsibilities that should not be his, and may even damage his own foundation!
Nangong Ye clearly heard the heart-wrenching cries and surging self-blame in her heart.
Every selfish word, every whimper, burned his heart like a hot iron, causing him more pain than drinking ten bowls of bitter medicine.
"Ning'er!"
He suddenly tightened his arms and pressed her even tighter into his arms, wanting to rub her into his bones and blood, his voice filled with unquestionable tenderness and determination.
He held up her tearful little face, and with his fingertips, he gently yet forcefully wiped away the tears that rolled down her eyes. His deep eyes were like the deepest cold pond, but at this moment, they were filled with affection that could melt ice and snow:
"Listen carefully, Ning'er. Your husband is willing to do anything for you! Seeing you free and happy is my greatest satisfaction.
I don't need you to have any burdens! I don't need you to force yourself for anyone or anything! Including the children! "
His thumb gently stroked her slightly cold cheek, his eyes focused as if she was the only one left in the world:
"My Ning'er, you just need to be happy! Just be yourself! Everything else doesn't matter! Just having you is enough!"
System 118:
[Ding! Detecting a dramatic emotional fluctuation in the host! Self-blame is off the charts! Prince Yong's 'affectionate confession' is at full power! Significant soothing effect!]
The host's self-blame value is decreasing! (The system shows the dark clouds above Dongfang Yuning's head being dispelled by Nangong Ye's light)
[Ding! Host, don't cry! Regarding the medicine issue! There's good news!]
[First, the ordinary contraceptive soup that the prince drank does cause slight damage to the male kidney essence if taken for a long time, but with the prince's profound internal strength foundation.
This loss is almost negligible, at most... um... it will slightly affect 'battery life'? (The system displays a tiny nephron icon with a -1% next to it) And if I stop it now, everything will be fine!]
[Second! This system mall has the perfect solution! 'Love Lock' pills! Double pills! One 'Love Lock' pill (for men) is absolutely contraceptive after taking it, with no side effects!
Another 'heart-releasing' pill (for women), taken when you want to get pregnant, instantly unlocks fertility! Perfectly suited to the host's needs!
Fair price, no cheating, just 99,999 points! Host, your points... uh, although you're currently heavily in debt, this system can provide you with an interest-free loan (for the rest of your life)! Consider it?
Dongfang Yuning listened to Nangong Ye's almost paranoid confession of love, felt the warmth and strength in his embrace, and heard the analysis and solution of System 118. The pain and self-blame in his heart eased a little, but the heartache and the urge to make amends became stronger.
She sniffed, her eyes red, and looked up at him. Her voice was a little choked, but she asked very seriously:
"Husband, then you... do you want a baby?"
When Nangong Ye heard her thoughts about the system pill, his heart warmed, and then a helpless smile appeared on his face.
He lowered his head, resting his forehead lightly against hers, their noses touching, their breaths blending, his eyes frank and gentle:
"Silly Ning'er."
He whispered with a sigh,
"You are my baby. Now, I just want to protect you and our present life.
The Yan Trade Zone is newly established, and many things are complicated. Your business kingdom is also just starting out, and there are captives like Fu Ying and Bei Di who need to be reformed...
I don't want you to be distracted at this time, and I don't want you to endure the hardships and risks of pregnancy."
He held her face in his hands, looked into her clear eyes, and spoke in a low and seductive voice, with a calming power:
"Do you feel happy and content with our current life, Ning'er?"
Dongfang Yuning nodded vigorously without hesitation:
"Yeah! Happy! Very happy!"
With him doting on her, a career to pursue, and friends to accompany her, this is simply her dream life!
"My husband is also very satisfied."
A satisfied smile spread across Nangong Ye's eyes, like a spring breeze rippling a pool of spring water.
"That's enough. Children are the icing on the cake of our happy life, not a necessity.
Let's wait until everything is settled, until we are truly ready, until Ning'er herself wants a little Ning'er or a little A'ye, then we can have a child, okay?"
He nuzzled her nose affectionately with a hint of overbearing doting:
"Trust your husband. He can give you a baby anytime you want."
This complete understanding, respect and unreserved doting completely soothed Dongfang Yuning's heart.
She burst into laughter, hugged his strong waist tightly, buried her little face in his chest and rubbed it, and said coquettishly in a muffled voice:
"Then my husband, please don't drink the medicine secretly behind my back anymore! It's harmful to your health! I have a solution! Promise me, okay?"
Nangong Ye felt her complete dependence and heartache, and his heart softened to the point of being unable to refuse:
"Okay. I'll listen to Ning'er."
He lowered his head and sniffed the sweet fragrance of her hair, and his soft lips naturally sought her sweetness.
"Wait a minute!" Dongfang Yuning, like a nimble little rabbit, suddenly crawled out of his arms, pressing her little hands against his chest.
Nangong Ye raised his eyebrows:
"Um?"
"You just drank that damaging medicine! You need to make up for it!"
Dongfang Yuning had a serious face, with a cunning and distressed light flashing in his big eyes.
"I have something good for you!"
Without waiting for Nangong Ye to react, she turned around and ran out like a gust of cheerful wind.
Nangong Ye looked at her petite back, shook his head and laughed helplessly and dotingly.
Soon, Dongfang Yuning came running back, holding an exquisite glass cup carefully in his hand.
The cup contained crystal-clear water, like the purest crystal. Under the light of the study, it faintly emitted a soft halo and an indescribable, refreshing aroma.
This is the spiritual spring water with the highest concentration in her space!
"Here! Quick! Brother Aye, drink it!"
Dongfang Yuning handed the cup to Nangong Ye's lips like offering a treasure, his little face full of anticipation and unwillingness to refuse.
"This is the magic water I finally got! It's so good for your body! It detoxifies, nourishes your body, strengthens your body, and even beautifies your complexion... well, it's just super good! Drink it up!"
Nangong Ye looked at the glass of water, then looked at her sparkling eyes that were full of praise for me, without any hesitation.
He didn't even ask what kind of water it was or where it came from. He just took the glass cup, his deep eyes filled with a smile, staring at her without blinking.
"Ning'er asked me to drink it. Even if it's a poison that will penetrate my intestines, I will take it with open arms."
His voice was low and serious, almost reverent.
Dongfang Yuning's face turned red when he looked at her, and she said angrily:
"What nonsense are you talking about! It's good stuff!"
Nangong Ye raised the corner of his lips in a captivating arc. Without saying anything more, he raised his head and drank the cup of highly concentrated spiritual spring water in one gulp!
His movements were quick and decisive, and he showed complete trust in her.
The cold liquid slid into the throat and instantly turned into a gentle yet powerful energy, quickly spreading to every part of the body like a warm spring current!
Nangong Ye could even clearly feel a pure force washing and cleansing his meridians, and the feeling of comfort was indescribable.
"How's it going? How do you feel?"
Dongfang Yuning looked at him nervously and expectantly.
Nangong Ye put down the cup, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he praised sincerely:
"It's refreshing and sweet, and warms the stomach. It's truly a rare treasure. Ning'er really has..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a sudden heat in his lower abdomen! The gentle energy seemed to have been lit with a fuse, and instantly became turbulent!
Immediately afterwards, an indescribable feeling of years of accumulated dirt and filth being forcibly stripped away and surging out from the inside out swept over my whole body!
"Well……"
Nangong Ye groaned, and his expression instantly became a little strange.
Dongfang Yuning:
[Huh? It worked? So quickly? 118, is this how Lingquan detoxification works?]
System 118 silently lowered the olfactory simulation module:
[Ding! Host! The highly concentrated spiritual spring water is deeply 'removing hair and cleansing the marrow' for the prince! The effect is outstanding! The detoxification process... may be... uh... intense? Please be prepared!]
Almost as soon as the system prompt sounded——
"puff--!!!"
A long, loud, penetrating sound with an indescribable stench suddenly erupted from behind Nangong Ye!
That smell… was like the rotting mud at the bottom of a thousand-year-old swamp, mixed with the essence of an old dry toilet, ignited under the scorching summer sun, and then forced into a sealed jar to ferment for ten years! It instantly exploded in the confined space of the study!
Dongfang Yuning: “!!!”
The anticipation on her face froze instantly, her eyes widened, her mouth slightly opened, and she was petrified on the spot.
Nangong Ye: “…”
His extremely handsome face turned from white to red, then from red to blue, and finally completely black as the bottom of a pot at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Shock, shame, indignation, disbelief, overwhelming embarrassment, and... murderous intent (?) swirled in those deep eyes! His body was as stiff as if under a spell!
There was deathly silence in the study.
All that was left was the suffocating stench, so thick that it almost became tangible, spreading wildly, fermenting, and penetrating every pore!
“Puff—”
In the silence, a laugh that could not be suppressed was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, breaking the suffocating awkwardness.
It was Dongfang Yuning. She looked at her husband, who looked as if he had been struck by lightning, red from his ears to his neck, and exuding a black aura of social death. Then she looked at the traces of the poison gas bomb behind him, which condensed all the filth in the world...
Although it was invisible to the naked eye, it was extremely clear to the senses. The strong contrast mixed with the indescribable stench, the huge sense of absurdity and humor instantly overwhelmed her nerves!
“Pfft—Hahahahahaha!!”
She couldn't hold it in any longer, and burst into earth-shattering laughter while clutching her stomach! She laughed so hard that tears streamed down her face, and she fell backwards, almost unable to breathe!
"Ah... Brother Aye... Hahaha... your detoxification... is too... too thorough, isn't it?! Hahaha... biological weapons!!"
She pointed at Nangong Ye and laughed, gasping for breath.
Nangong Ye's face was so black it looked like ink could drip out of it! The veins on his forehead were throbbing! He had lived for over twenty years and had never been so embarrassed! So shameful! And in front of his beloved little wife!
Not only did the horrible stench not dissipate, but due to his stiff body and the turmoil in his heart, it seemed to be still brewing...? He could feel the violent peristalsis of his stomach and intestines!
"Dong! Fang! Yu! Ning!"
Nangong Ye practically gritted his teeth and squeezed out her name, each word filled with ice and thick resentment!
The pair of eyes that were usually filled with doting were now burning with the flames of shame and anger, staring at the little woman who was laughing so hard that she was shaking with laughter!
He turned around suddenly, his movements as fast as lightning, with a sense of resolute tragedy and soaring resentment, and his target was directly aimed at - the bathroom!
"Wait till I finish washing up! You just wait!!!"
The roar was like the roar of a wounded beast, penetrating the study door and echoing in the corridor, filled with the immense hatred that would make a gentleman unrequited love (?) and the firm determination to uphold the man's authority tonight!
With a whoosh, his figure disappeared, leaving behind only a gust of wind carrying a strong stench, and Dongfang Yuning, who was almost laughing to death in the study.
System 118:
[Ding! 'Depilatory Marrow Cleansing and Deep Detoxification' has achieved its effects! 99.99% of the impurities in the Prince's body have been removed! Physical fitness +10%! Appearance radiance +5%!]
Side Effects: 'Social Death Max', 'Resentment Soaring'! (The system displays a flash of light above Nangong Ye's head, covered in dark clouds and mines, with the text "Great Shame and Humiliation!")]
[Host! Friendly reminder: Based on the analysis of the prince's eyes when he left, the intensity of your "Love Re-education" course tonight is expected to reach SSS level!
Please prepare the "Soft-Bored Shrimp·Universe Invincible Supreme Edition" in advance! This system...is blocking its sense of smell first! (The system instantly goes black and sets itself ten air purifier special effects)]
Dongfang Yuning finally stopped laughing, leaning on the desk to catch his breath, tears of laughter still in the corners of his eyes.
The suffocating stench in the air had not yet completely dissipated, reminding her of the absurd scene just now.
She wiped her tears and looked at the direction where Nangong Ye disappeared. Thinking of his furious look as if he wanted to crawl into the ground, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise wildly.
"Pfft...Brother Aye...I'm sorry..."
She muttered softly, but her tone was not at all apologetic, but rather filled with a little pride that a prank had been successful.
But... she touched her stomach which hurt from laughing, and thought of Nangong Ye's heartache as he silently drank the medicine for her, and her eyes gradually softened.
Although the process was a bit... smelly, the result was good! His health problems were eliminated, and he now had a more perfect contraceptive plan!
"Well! Wait until he comes back after taking a shower..."
Dongfang Yuning's eyes rolled around, and the little devil's tail curled up again.
"...We need to appease this angry cat!"
She hummed a tuneless song and began to clean up the culprit white jade medicine bowl on the desk with light steps. She opened the window as wide as possible, trying to dispel the unique smell left by the price of love.
Deep in the palace, in a luxurious bathroom, there was the sound of water splashing and steam filled the air.
Nangong Ye sank his entire body into the huge bathtub, the warm water enveloping his body. He closed his eyes, his handsome face still tense, the blush on his ears still not completely fading.
Scrub again and again, trying to wash away the invisible filth and deep embarrassment.
The horrible stench still seemed to linger on the tip of his nose... and the merciless, earth-shattering laughter of his little wife!
"Dong! Fang! Yu! Ning!"
He gritted his teeth and whispered her name, his fists clenched underwater and making a crackling sound.
After the shame and anger, an even stronger urge to teach that little woman who dared to laugh at him a lesson spread like wildfire within his body!
Wash! Make sure you wash it well! Then...
He suddenly opened his eyes, a dangerous and slightly crazy light flashed across his deep pupils, and an evil arc appeared at the corner of his lips.
Tonight, I must let her deeply experience what it means that happiness turns to sorrow and what it means that the husband's authority is unshakable!
He, Nangong Ye, must take back the shame of detoxification from her in another way!
The sound of water became faster and the steam rose, covering up the sound of someone grinding their teeth in the bathtub.
