After saying this, Lan Shuang and King Ming thanked him and returned to their room.
The Ming Wang was left sitting there in a daze.
Yu Xiao asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, where are we going next?"
No one answered.
Yu Xiao looked down at King Ming in confusion: "Your Majesty?"
Still no one answered.
"Your Majesty!"
"Um?"
Yu Xiao raised his voice, and this time Prince Ming finally came back to his senses, "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"
"Go back to the study."
"yes."
Yu Xiao pushed Ming Wang and turned around to walk back, but Ming Wang looked back. Lan Shuang...what was he looking at just now?
He rubbed his lips, thinking.
…
Life in ancient times was quite boring, especially for women from wealthy families. They were subject to various constraints and could not do what they wanted. They could only stay in their own small piece of land.
Lan Shuang felt extremely bored after a day, but fortunately she could still tease Xiao Baba to relieve her boredom.
After finally getting dark, Zhenhan suddenly brought her a bowl of pear soup after dinner.
Lan Shuang was startled. She looked at the clear soup in the white porcelain cup, then at the peeled, crystalline pear flesh, and asked doubtfully, "I didn't say I wanted pear soup."
Zhen Han said, "The people in the kitchen said it was the prince's order."
"Your Majesty?"
Lan Shuang was puzzled. What did it mean that King Ming sent her pear soup for no reason? Was he going to divorce her?
Seeing through everything, 888 touched his chin and said in a pretentious tone, "If I'm not mistaken, you probably coughed so hard last night when you choked on your own saliva that the King mistakenly thought you were sick. Pear soup moistens your lungs and throat."
Lan Shuang: “…”
"Wait! So he wasn't asleep at all?"
Lan Shuang suddenly felt that her heart was beating a little too fast.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Why didn't you tell me?"
888 was puzzled: "I didn't think there was anything to say, so I didn't say anything..."
He muttered in a low voice, lacking confidence.
Lan Shuang: "...Luckily I didn't do anything weird last night, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing."
888: "Oh, host, don't worry. If you really do something you shouldn't do, I will definitely remind you in advance."
Lan Shuang: “Hehe.”
Everyone was cold by then, okay?
She would never tell 888 that she once wanted to get closer to see Ming Wang's facial features.
There's nothing wrong with her, she's just lustful.
"Well, Your Majesty is thoughtful. Give it to me."
Lan Shuang's expression softened. She pretended to cough, then took the pear soup and drank it in small sips.
In fact, she doesn't like to drink pear soup very much, she prefers to just eat the pear directly.
But at least it is a bit of kindness from the King, so I should appreciate it.
Lan Shuang chewed the fruit and said to Xiao Baba in her mind, "Actually, Ming Wang is a pretty good person. He's not as moody as described in the original novel. He's actually quite considerate."
888 heard her say that, and his hands made afterimages: "No no no no no——"
Lan Shuang: "...are your lips suffering from epilepsy?"
888: "No, Ming Wang's personality is half fake, and half is caused by the torture of poison."
"Poison?" Lan Shuang was stunned, her hands stopped moving. "He was poisoned? When did it happen? It's not in the storyline you gave me."
888: "...Well, well...the situation was quite urgent at the time, so I only gave you the main plot and left out the minor details. After all, your mission is mainly with the family in the Duke of England's mansion."
"Stop it, no cuteness allowed, explain it to me right now."
"Oh, okay."
888 added: "In fact, the relationship between the Emperor and Prince Ming was very good at the beginning. Prince Ming trusted the Emperor very much. Because at that time, the Concubine Xian was banished to the cold palace, and only the Emperor knelt outside the imperial study to plead for Concubine Xian and Prince Ming, and almost fainted. Prince Ming has always remembered this kindness."
"Wait, let me guess. Given how melodramatic this novel is, was the incident with Concubine Xian orchestrated by the Emperor and his mother? Was he also the one who caused Prince Ming's defeat on the battlefield?"
888 rubbed his hands in admiration: "Host is so clever! That's right, but King Ming didn't know it at the time. He returned with his troops, immersed in the grief and despair of his mother being banished to the cold palace. At the same time, thinking of the emperor's kindness, he went to see him."
"Could it be that the emperor took the opportunity to poison him?"
The more Lan Shuang thought about it, the more possible it seemed.
"Yes, at that time, Prince Ming was not on guard against him, so the emperor put a colorless and odorless poison in his tea. The poison is extremely rare, and there will be no obvious problems in the short term. However, if it accumulates in the body over a long period of time, it will make a person increasingly irritable and unable to control his temper, and eventually turn him into a complete madman."
888 shuddered as he spoke. "What a vicious mind! Later, the Ming King realized something was wrong and found a divine doctor he had a close personal relationship with. He came to the capital to examine him and discovered that he had been poisoned. However, the poison had already penetrated deep into his bones, making it extremely difficult to completely eradicate it. So he used a temporary antidote to suppress it."
Lan Shuang pressed the soft pear flesh with a spoon, her eyes dark. "The royal family is always in turmoil. It's either you or me. If we don't arrange it this way, how can the Ming King rise up in resistance?"
888 sighed, "So Prince Ming is also a very miserable man. His mother is dead, his father doesn't like him, his brother framed him, he was poisoned, and he is impotent. He will never have offspring in this life, and he didn't marry a wife he liked..."
He paused, clenched his fists, and said indignantly, "This book doesn't even have an ending!"
Lan Shuang was still grieving over King Ming's tragic life until she heard the last sentence.
She immediately broke down, "Ahem, forget it, don't dwell on that, let's finish our mission first. At worst, I can just be more caring towards him in the future. After all, we are all sisters."
888: “…”
Maybe your sister herself doesn't want to claim this title?
Lan Shuang slowly finished her pear soup, then turned to Zhen Han and said, "Go, thank the prince for me."
"yes."
…
The next morning, Lan Shuang had finished washing up and was having dinner when Ming Wang was pushed in by Yu Xiao, followed by Yu Heng.
"Why is Your Majesty here at this hour? Have you eaten yet?"
Lan Shuang smiled at Ming Wang and continued eating.
Ming Wang nodded: "I have eaten."
Yu Heng added, "The prince is not feeling well and doesn't eat much in the morning."
Prince Ming: "..."
He glanced at Yu Heng, who immediately lowered his head and pretended to be dead.
Lan Shuang was surprised: "Ah? That's perfect, I can't finish all this, Your Highness, please join in."
Ming Wang rubbed his fingers on the armrest, without saying a word, as if he was thinking.
Lan Shuang made the decision for him directly. She took a clean plate, put two buns on it for him, and also filled half a bowl of tofu pudding for him.
"At least eat something. If you don't eat in the morning, you'll feel tired all day, and it's even worse for your health."
Ming Wang looked into her bright eyes and paused, "Hmm."
