Night had fallen, and in the Third Prince's bedchamber, a lamp burned, casting a silhouette against the light as a gust of wind blew.
Winding and meandering, sometimes bright, sometimes dark.
At the bedside, a gentle and refined man leaned against the headboard, holding a book that looked quite old in his hand.
Her slender fingers flipped through the pages one by one, casting shadows from her distinct eyelashes. With a slight tremor, she revealed a pale and fragile look.
A man dressed in black was kneeling beside the bed.
The man in black clasped his hands in a fist salute, obscuring his features.
"My lord, the person who pushed you into the pool today was one of the Second Prince's men."
Even after he finished speaking, the person on the bed continued to read the book in his hands without pausing for a moment.
After a long while, the person finally spoke in a gentle and soothing tone.
"The Gu in my second brother's body has been behaving itself for so long, that's why you're so proud."
Upon hearing the mention of the Gu poison from his master's mouth, the man in black swallowed hard, seemingly lost in thought.
He immediately asked
"What does Master mean..."
“Let him live a little longer, so that he can stay alive until the eldest prince leaves together, and have someone to keep him company on the journey.”
Her words were cool and gentle, and she still had that pale and fragile appearance, yet what she said sent chills down one's spine.
However, the man in black was clearly already used to this.
"yes"
They vanished in the next second, as if no one had ever been in the entire bedchamber.
Xuanyuan Yonghao continued to leisurely flip through the book in his hands, the candlelight casting a pale and sickly silhouette.
Seeing something funny, a slight smile curved her thin lips, still as beautiful as ever.
For the next five days, Xuanyuan Yonghao remained bedridden due to illness.
According to the imperial physician, the third prince was already physically weak.
Falling into the water in late autumn like this means the cold air enters the body, so you need to rest well, otherwise you may easily develop a chronic illness.
For the past five days, Chunhua and Qiushi have been diligently serving the Third Prince.
So much so that besides wiping tables, chairs, and vases, there was nothing else to do.
In her spare time, she read all the dozen or so novels about palace intrigue and power struggles that Xiaohua had found for her.
Just as she was looking at it, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the door.
"Su Yan, are you there?"
It was Chunhua's voice.
Su Yan stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.
Seeing Chunhua's panting and anxious appearance, she was puzzled.
"What's up?"
Chunhua wiped the sweat from her brow
"The Third Prince wants to see you, you should go quickly."
Su Yan was puzzled.
"The Third Prince wants to see me?"
Chunhua was anxious
"Oh dear, there's no time to explain, let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Su Yan's hand and jogged away.
When they arrived at the Third Prince's palace, they happened to see a palace maid being dragged out, disheveled, trembling all over.
As Su Yan looked at the palace intrigue novels, she felt that all those readings hadn't been in vain. The words "failed seduction" popped into her mind.
At this moment, Qiu Shi also knelt at the entrance of the sleeping quarters, looking ashen-faced.
Chunhua gently nudged Su Yan and handed the medicine from the respectfully standing maid to Su Yan.
"Hurry inside, and remember to have His Highness take this medicine."
She gave detailed instructions, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Su Yan nod and walk inside.
Upon entering the bedchamber, the scent of ambergris filled the air.
Unlike the tense atmosphere outside, the atmosphere inside was quiet and peaceful, as if this pure land would not be disturbed by anything.
On the bed, Xuanyuan Yonghao leaned against the pillow, wearing a clean white silk lining.
