Chapter 90 The Daughter of a Guilty Minister vs. the Disabled Prince 4
A narrow-mouthed blue and white porcelain bottle fell at Ji Yunhuan's feet. The bottle broke into pieces and the splashing porcelain fragments hit Ji Yunhuan. If she hadn't been wearing thick clothes, she would have been injured.
The rumors that the prince has a sinister and moody personality seem to be true.
But Ji Yunhuan didn't care. She had many magical props anyway, enough to protect herself.
The room was dark and nothing could be seen clearly. Ji Yunhuan ignored the deposed prince's yelling and went straight to open the doors and windows.
The sunlight came in, illuminating the dark room.
The deposed prince was leaning on the bed, his lower body covered with a quilt of unknown color. The air was filled with dust and mold. The environment was so bad that it was even worse than the large bunk beds in the slave camp.
Xiao Yan looked at the women who walked in against the light. He had just dealt with one when Concubine Wu couldn't wait to send in another one. She really never stopped for a moment.
He sneered, his voice chilling, "Heh~ Here comes another one seeking death!"
Ji Yunhuan was not frightened at all. Instead, he started to clean up the house.
The furnishings in the room were simple, with a bed, a set of tables and chairs. The valuable ornaments were gone, and the worthless ones were smashed by Xiao Yan, making it very easy to clean.
Ji Yunhuan was used to doing these chores, and soon the house was brand new. She finally found a set of quilts from the box in the corner. The fabric was not valuable, so it had not been taken away by anyone.
"What do you want to do?" Xiao Yan's face was cold, veins bulged on the back of his thin hands, and he pulled hard at the torn quilt on his body.
Ji Yunhuan said seriously, "Of course I am serving His Highness. How long has it been since Your Highness changed and washed this quilt? Don't you think it's dirty?"
The two were so close that they could almost see each other's reflection in their eyes.
Ji Yunhuan then discovered that Xiao Yansheng had a handsome face, but his cold temperament made it easy for people to ignore his appearance.
Xiao Yan snorted coldly, "Are you so kind? Stop pretending. I don't believe it. If you know what's good for you, get out of here. I'll spare your life!"
Ji Yunhuan pulled the quilt even harder, and with a sizzling sound, the quilt, which was not very strong to begin with, was torn apart, revealing the yellow and clumpy cotton wool inside.
"It doesn't matter whether Your Highness believes it or not. Anyway, I will only take care of Your Highness's food and daily life, and serve Your Highness's medicine. I will not be responsible for other matters."
"Your Highness, the quilt is already in this state, are you still holding on to it? If you keep dragging your feet, I won't have time to make medicine for you today."
Xiao Yan loosened his hand and let Ji Yunhuan take away the torn quilt on his body.
It turned out that she was here to make medicine for him. As long as she tampered with the herbs, she could kill him quietly. This woman is really good at calculating!
Ji Yunhuan didn’t know what Xiao Yan was thinking with that gloomy face, but it seemed that he was not going to cooperate with her.
She could only simply tidy up the bed. Xiao Yan was only wearing a white pajamas. His legs were skinny and the thin cloth stuck to his body, looking empty and pitiful.
Ji Yunhuan took a look and covered herself with the quilt. She would not go through the trouble of helping Xiao Yan change his clothes. It was not her who was dirty anyway, so she could just cover herself with the quilt so that it would not be noticeable.
"If Your Highness has no other instructions, I will go and make the medicine first."
There were ready-made medicinal herbs in the East Palace, and Ji Yunhuan quickly set up the medicine jars. The bitter smell of medicine filled the air, but it was not unpleasant.
The medicine jars were placed under the corridor. Ji Yunhuan stared at the fire while picking up the dead branches and leaves in the yard.
She is actually a bit of a germaphobe. Even in the slave camp, she will try her best to keep herself and her surroundings clean.
Ji Yunhuan cleaned up the yard in a hurry and piled up a pile of firewood, enough for them to burn for a while. She also cleaned the house next to Xiao Yan, and she finally had a place to rest.
Before she could stop and catch her breath, the medicine in the pot had already been boiled. She fetched some water and washed the dishes, then filled a bowl with medicine and brought it to Xiao Yan.
"Your Highness, the medicine is ready, please drink it."
Xiao Yan stared at the woman in front of him for a long while. The woman was extremely beautiful, but her heart was also extremely vicious.
On the first day of entering the Eastern Palace, she couldn't wait to drug him so that she could go to Concubine Wu to take credit.
Ji Yun's hands were sore from joy, so he urged, "The medicinal properties will dissipate if it gets cold, so Your Highness should drink it quickly."
She had some knowledge of pharmacology, and these herbs were just ordinary prescriptions for replenishing qi and nourishing blood. Xiao Yan kept staring at her. Did he want her to feed him?
It's just a leg injury, not a broken arm, so she's too lazy to take care of him!
Xiao Yan's eyes became even darker. He raised his hand to take the medicine bowl and smashed it directly on Ji Yunhuan's face.
"Get out! I won't take the medicine! Get out! If you dare to come close to me again, I will kill you!"
The brown liquid medicine slid down her cheeks, and Ji Yunhuan's forehead was swollen. She took two steps back, keeping a distance from the madman Xiao Yan, but her tone was still respectful:
"Good medicine tastes bitter. Even if Your Highness is angry with me, you can't joke with your own body. There is nothing good to eat in the East Palace, and the weather is cold. If you don't drink some medicine, Your Highness' body will not be able to bear it."
"I will make another bowl for you, Your Highness. Please don't waste it. I think the herbs are running out."
Ji Yunhuan dragged his tired body and boiled another bowl of medicine and brought it in.
Xiao Yan found that this woman was still very persistent. "I've already told you that I won't drink! Don't think that I don't know what you are up to. You poisoned me so that you can go ask your master for a reward, right?"
Ji Yunhuan took a small spoon and took a sip herself, "Your Highness, you have also seen that this servant did not poison me."
Xiao Yan refused to believe it. "You didn't poison me now, but it will be poisoned when you drink with me later. Maybe there is poison hidden in your fingernails, or it may accumulate over time. It's okay to drink a sip, but I will be in trouble if I drink too much..."
Ji Yunhuan's patience has run out.
She knew that Xiao Yan did not trust her, but she sincerely wanted to take good care of Xiao Yan, not only because of the system's task, but also because after Xiao Yan ascended the throne in the previous life, he issued an edict to rehabilitate the Ji family.
There is still a long time to come, and she has her own ways to make Xiao Yan accept her, so she doesn't want to continue to humble herself and please Xiao Yan.
She smiled brightly at Xiao Yan, and the whole room seemed to light up. Xiao Yan was also dazzled by the smile.
"Since Your Highness is unwilling to drink it yourself, let this servant feed Your Highness."
Before Xiao Yan could react, Ji Yunhuan pinned him down. His lower body was unable to move and his upper body was pinned down tightly. This woman was incredibly strong and he couldn't break free for a while.
Ji Yunhuan held the medicine bowl, pinched Xiao Yan's chin and poured the medicine into his mouth. When Xiao Yan's hand broke free, she had already quickly backed away with the empty bowl, far away from Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan coughed violently, and the brown medicine slid down his delicate chin and fell into his open clothes. He crawled on the bed, pointing at Ji Yunhuan with trembling fingers, and there was even a hint of red in the corners of his eyes.
"You...you are so outrageous! I...I must kill you!"
