Upon arriving at the East Palace, Su Youran indeed found Chu Heng still "asleep."
She knew in her heart that this guy must feel ashamed to face her.
I wonder if he was involved in these scenes where so many people entrusted him with something.
If he did, he would feel guilty and would be even more afraid to see her.
She glanced at it, then asked Fude to prepare a side room in the adjacent hall, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep by herself.
Chu Heng in the bedchamber: ...
What happened to her supposedly causing a ruckus at the Eastern Palace?
He was actually prepared to bear her wrath; it was obvious she loathed him, yet he used this method to trap her by his side…
But he had no choice.
Aside from his infatuation with her, there was another compelling reason: ever since he discovered Crown Prince Chu Heng's true identity, his bad luck had never truly ended. Although he didn't fall three times a day, everyday misfortunes still occurred frequently.
But when he was in the identity of Wen Yuanbai, the heir of the Xuan King, everything was as usual.
During those six years in the Southern Territory, the Crown Prince almost never saw anyone, only issuing commands from his tent. Wen Yuanbai was the one who appeared most often, so he never suffered from the poison even once during those six years.
After returning to Kyoto, the toxins in his body began to multiply rapidly again, and he experienced a series of mishaps, such as being hit by bird droppings when he went out or falling into a ditch while riding in a carriage.
Fortunately, I didn't have many opportunities to meet You Ran outside, so I never embarrassed myself in front of her.
Master said that he was probably the one who had the status of a senior brother and sister with Su Youran, but was actually Wen Yuanbai. So, "Wen Yuanbai" was not unlucky, but "Chu Heng" was still unlucky.
Moreover, according to his master, his luck was stolen by others when he was young, which is why he was plagued by bad luck and would not live past thirty.
To break free from the bad luck of being Crown Prince Chu Heng, the only way is to bind himself to You Ran under this identity.
He immediately thought of "husband and wife".
Especially when he thought of the dream he had in You Ran's nightmare, he felt unbearable heartache and always wanted to kill the person who had wronged her.
Unfortunately, that person is now her stepbrother, so it's not advisable to act rashly.
But he can still be made to have bad luck, lose money, and lose face.
He cherished his junior sister, whom he had raised with utmost care, and he wanted to love and pamper her in a more intimate way.
They're a married couple.
What a wonderful new connection.
"Wen Yuanbai" is not his real identity. If he wants to be with her for a long time, he must treat her with sincerity.
He had been interrupted twice before when he tried to reveal the truth.
The fact that Crown Prince Chuheng has fallen out of favor with her is something he never expected.
On that important day yesterday, he was originally supposed to be accompanying his master as Wen Yuanbai, but before his father left the palace, he asked him to accompany him as the Crown Prince, in order to show the royal family's respect for the Eldest Princess and the Grand Preceptor.
He had no choice but to revert to Chu Heng's appearance, everything had been arranged perfectly. To avoid alerting the enemy, he allowed the people at the banquet to be weak and limp from the effects of the medicine, all to lure out the Imperial Guard Commander, who was colluding with Prince Rong, and the traitors in the Capital Garrison. The Imperial Guard Commander, Wu Zheng, was indeed lured out, and the traitors in the Capital Garrison revealed their true colors. But despite all his calculations, he hadn't anticipated that he would fall unconscious from the poison at the crucial moment, thus delaying his ability to give the signal to act.
Thanks to Su Youran and the seven Calabash Brothers' quick thinking, they managed to turn the tide.
He then berated Nan Zhuo severely. In such an emergency, he didn't even realize that he was truly unconscious rather than feigning unconsciousness.
Nan Zhuo wiped away a cold sweat and went down to receive his punishment.
Therefore, these are turbulent times, and coupled with his illness, he has no choice but to keep You Ran by his side for the time being.
Yes, they still used the same self-righteous reason as "losing their innocence".
After a few days, someone secretly spread the word that she had stayed in the Eastern Palace for several days... and also asked the Emperor to grant her a marriage...
With the imperial decree granting her marriage, surely no one would dare to truly tarnish her reputation.
Mmm, feeling great...
...
Meanwhile, Su Youran also had a wonderful nap.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Su Yue staring expectantly at her by the bedside. Startled, she asked, "Su Yue, what's wrong?"
Su Yue quickly pulled her up, "Little darling! Get up quickly, His Highness the Crown Prince has been awake for a long time!"
Su Youran snorted twice, letting her do as she pleased. "He woke up a long time ago, what does it have to do with me? I'm just here to take care of his condition. In other words, as long as he doesn't become critically ill from the poison, it's none of my business!"
Su Yue stared at her in shock.
Su Youran said proudly, "How could a divine physician like me act casually? For minor illnesses and pains, the imperial physicians are sufficient!"
Su Yue was speechless. After dressing and washing her mistress, she began to comb her hair.
Halfway through combing his hair, Fude ran breathlessly to the door, "Your Highness, His Highness...he...he's dying!"
He almost bit his tongue off when he said the last few words. Your Highness, really, who curses themselves to die?
He had just gotten up to wash his hands when he suddenly tripped and fell, and then he started coughing violently while clutching his chest.
Although tripping while walking and choking on saliva are things that this unlucky prince is already very familiar with, the fact that these two things are so smoothly combined, along with the way the prince hoarsely ordered him, "Go and call the county princess and tell her that I am dying," made Fude know that it was time to test his acting skills!
Sure enough, Su Youran suddenly turned her head to look at him, her face full of shock.
Fude nodded frantically, his face showing even more anxiety, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.
Yes, lie with conviction.
No problem.
Without asking any questions, Su Youran simply lifted her skirt, her hair half-down, and headed straight for the bedroom.
Sure enough, Chu Heng was seen spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
She rushed inside.
Chu Heng had just wiped the blood from his lips when he looked up and saw Su Youran running towards him with half her hair down. He couldn't help but grin.
He felt he was about to cough violently and painfully again after that stitch, but... the moment Su Youran's icy fingertips touched his pulse, he clearly felt the boiling heat in his chest immediately subside.
Yes, a lucky star!
So yesterday he didn't intentionally hold onto her wrist; rather, he had a gut feeling that if she wasn't by his side, he might not have made it through the night.
Although Su Youran's poison skills were average, he could still sense from his pulse that the toxins in his body were indeed growing rapidly.
She felt that something was amiss.
Yesterday, most of the toxins in his body were expelled, so why is he growing so rapidly again?
Could it really be some kind of rare poison that allows growth even with just a trace of toxin?
She thought for a moment, then mentally recalled her little notebook and asked herself the question.
The little notebook nodded frantically, "There are many types of this virus, and a blood test is needed to detect them."
Su Youran rolled her eyes. "He was poisoned, not infected with a virus."
