The doctor's legs went weak, and he bowed deeply, saying, "Madam... His Highness... His Highness was only thinking of Madam's health! Madam's health is not good right now, and it is really not suitable for her to give birth, so..."
"Oh, a contraceptive decoction." After hearing this, Gu Qingqiu simply drank the entire decoction in one gulp. "Go back now, you can report back."
Gu Qingqiu's decisiveness left the doctor somewhat at a loss. "Madam... is there anything else bothering you?"
“I have it, do you dare to look?” Gu Qingqiu grinned.
The doctor's face alternated between pale and flushed, and he seemed somewhat embarrassed, as if he had also thought of the location of Gu Qingqiu's injury. "I can ask a female relative to examine the situation for you, and then..."
"No need to trouble yourself," Gu Qingqiu said, trying to shoo him away. "Just leave some mild ointment for your private parts; I can do it myself."
"Yes, yes..." the doctor quickly took his leave.
Ziyun was initially confused, but she understood the words "contraceptive soup." As soon as the doctor left, she couldn't help but pull Gu Qingqiu aside and ask, "Madam, was it the Prince last night...?"
"Hmm, don't ask so many questions." Knowing that Ziyun must have a lot of questions, Gu Qingqiu was too lazy to explain anymore.
Ziyun swallowed back a bellyful of questions with difficulty, but still couldn't help but complain, "Your Highness usually seems so refined and gentle, how come you're so rude and reckless in private! Could it be that you have some kind of special fetish?"
"How dare you! How could you discuss the prince's private affairs?" Gu Qingqiu feigned sternness.
As expected, Ziyun quickly apologized: "This servant knows she was wrong! This servant will never dare to do it again!" Then she shut up and dared not ask any more questions.
That evening, the butler, upon seeing Gu Qingqiu again, asked incredulously, "Madam... why are you here again tonight?"
Gu Qingqiu said, her face pale, "Naturally, whatever I did last night, I'll do tonight."
The butler's expression even bordered on awe. "Madam... please..."
Sure enough, even Chu Yunhan was somewhat incredulous when he heard Gu Qingqiu's footsteps. "Gu Qingqiu, you... um!"
Gu Qingqiu stuffed the cotton she had brought into Chu Yunhan's mouth again.
Chu Yunhan seemed to have changed to a new set of bedding, and Gu Qingqiu felt it wasn't as comfortable as yesterday. After struggling to move around for more than an hour, Chu Yunhan fell into a deep sleep again.
Gu Qingqiu was covered in cold sweat, feeling that the injuries she had sustained yesterday were even more severe. This time, even getting out of bed took a great deal of effort.
With difficulty, she moved herself outside the door. The sharp-eyed housekeeper immediately stepped forward to help Gu Qingqiu and escorted her back to her room.
The next morning, looking at the bloodstains on the bedding, Chu Yunhan felt the veins on his forehead bulge. He couldn't understand Gu Qingqiu.
If he felt that Gu Qingqiu was humiliating him on the first night, why did she come again last night?
Could it be... that she really did it to save him? Chu Yunhan didn't believe Gu Qingqiu would be so kind; she must have some ulterior motive.
Chu Yunhan propped his head up with one hand while the doctor held his other hand to check his pulse.
After a cup of tea, the doctor bowed and said, "Your Highness's internal organs are still excessively hot, and you will still feel unbearably hot and painful after your period, but..." The doctor carefully observed the prince's expression, "but the toxins of the 'Love Month Poison' seem to have decreased quite a bit. If Your Highness can use the same method to sleep well for the next few nights, the 'Love Month Poison' should be cured in five days."
Chu Yunhan sneered, "Why don't you just be direct and say that I slept with women and diluted the poison? How about that?"
"This old man wouldn't dare," the doctor said with a forced smile. "Then...how about this old man prescribes another formula for Your Highness to clear heat and reduce internal fire?"
Chu Yunhan did not refuse, but commented, "It's better than nothing."
The doctor had just stepped out of the door when he heard Chu Yunhan say, "Come back."
What kind of trouble are they looking for this time?
The doctor's legs went weak, and he almost tripped over the threshold. He then respectfully returned to Chu Yunhan's desk. "Does Your Highness have any further instructions?"
Chu Yunhan was silent for a moment, then asked, "How is Gu Qingqiu?"
"This..." The doctor looked troubled.
Chu Yunhan glanced at the doctor's expression. "To be honest, I know what I'm doing."
The doctor immediately knelt down and sighed, "The lady... is not well, Your Highness, you should... exercise restraint..."
"Me, restraint? It was clearly her—" Chu Yunhan raised his voice, but stopped abruptly before he could finish his sentence.
The doctor waited for a long time without hearing anything further, and had to look up at Chu Yunhan's complicated expression.
"Never mind, you can go now." In the end, Chu Yunhan didn't finish his sentence.
The doctor, completely bewildered, took his leave.
On the third night, when Chu Yunhan saw Gu Qingqiu again, he was much calmer. He spoke first, saying, "Don't try to shut me up. If you don't want to hear what I have to say, I'll just shut up."
Gu Qingqiu said with a smile, "Your Highness, actually I didn't bring any cotton today."
Chu Yunhan shut up again.
The silence between the two was punctuated by the sounds of water and impacts, as well as Gu Qingqiu's somewhat painful groans.
Perhaps the poison had lessened, for Chu Yunhan was able to maintain a degree of calm, "Why did you save me?"
Gu Qingqiu continued twisting her waist, saying, "You're keeping me up at night."
Chu Yunhan naturally didn't believe it; he just hadn't expected that Gu Qingqiu wouldn't even bother to make up an excuse to fool him.
This answer came out subconsciously to Gu Qingqiu, and it was true to some extent, but she knew that the reason was not enough to justify her making such a sacrifice.
Perhaps getting close to the male lead has become her instinct.
Gu Qingqiu twitched the corners of her mouth and revealed a smile. That's right, otherwise how could she explain that she was willing to bear the poison of the Love Moon for Chu Yunhan?
In fact, Gu Qingqiu later consulted other books and found that sexual intercourse could indeed cure the Love Moon Poison, but this method was actually just diverting the poison from Chu Yunhan to herself.
Gu Qingqiu knew this was a world of punishment, so she didn't care about her body. She already had the Heart-Rending Poison, so what difference would it make if she had the Love Moon Poison as well?
Thinking this, Gu Qingqiu suddenly felt a sweet taste in her throat and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood onto Chu Yunhan's chest.
Chu Yunhan was stunned. He also smelled the blood and said anxiously, "What's wrong with you? Stop it for me!"
Gu Qingqiu naturally wouldn't listen to him.
Even though he was unwilling, Chu Yunhan could not resist the side effects of the Love Moon Poison. He fell asleep immediately after venting his lust.
Gu Qingqiu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, then wiped the blood she had accidentally spat on Chu Yunhan, and then left.
This time, Gu Qingqiu returned to her room with a burning fever. Ziyun wiped Gu Qingqiu's body with an icy towel more than ten times before her fever subsided.
When Gu Qingqiu woke up, it was dusk again. She looked at the sky, coughed twice, and said, "It's getting dark again."
Ziyun wanted to bang her head on the ground, crying her heart out, "Madam, you can't go to see the Prince again tonight! Are you out of your mind?"
