Shi Yan pulled out several colorful medicine bottles from his arms and muttered to himself, "I found these in the thatched cottage in the valley."

"Who saved me? He even left a human skin mask. But... I'm so sorry that I brought these strange medicines back with me. Maybe they can be useful in the future!" Shi

Yan looked at the bottle of medicine in his hand, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes.

He thought to himself that if a woman took it, all men would be unable to get close to her; and if a man took it, they would not dare to get close to any woman. After

the menstrual period is over, give her this to eat, so that the fake prince will not be able to get close to her.

Of course, Shi Yan actually wanted to give this love-killing pill to Shi Jun, but Shi Jun was on high alert and he couldn't find a chance to do it.

He could only wait silently for the right time to see if there was a chance to make Shi Jun swallow the love-killing pill so that he would no longer harass Mian Mian.

At nightfall the next day, a palace maid hurried into the Zichen Palace and knocked on the door anxiously.

Shi Jun had just finished reading the memorial in the palace and was about to go to rest with Xu Mian.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, Concubine Rumor is not feeling well, and I would like to ask you to go and see her." The palace maid reported with her head down.

Shi Jun frowned, thinking about Pei Qing's instructions and hints that day, and said helplessly: "I know, I'll go over later."

After that, he turned around and returned to the inner palace.

"Mian Mian, I'll be back soon after I go take a look, you go to sleep first."

Shi Jun kissed Xu Mian's forehead tenderly.

Xu Mian nodded obediently. She felt dizzy and sleepy because of her menstrual period, and fell asleep unknowingly.

There was a slight sound from the window, but she was too sleepy to pay attention.

A tall man came in through the window and jumped off the windowsill lightly.

He walked to the bed, took off the human skin mask on his face, revealing a handsome and beautiful face.

In her sleep, Xu Mian felt a pair of warm hands holding her up and gently stroking her hair.

She tried to open her blurry eyes, and vaguely saw that the person coming was Shi Yan.

"Your Highness..." Xu Mian's voice was lazy, with a hint of doubt.

Shi Yan had just left, and she thought he was back.

Little did she know that this was the real Shi Yan.

Shi Yan picked her up and asked softly, "Mian Mian, does your stomach hurt?"

Xu Mian closed her eyes and replied softly, "It hurts a little."

Shi Yan took out a small jar from his arms, opened the lid, and found it was full of ginger candies.

He carefully took out a piece and coaxed gently, "Eat a piece of ginger candy, and your stomach will feel better."

He put it in his mouth and covered Xu Mian's lips, then pushed open her teeth and put it into her mouth.

Xu Mian felt the taste of spicy and sweet intertwined together, and her heart was warm.

His big palm was placed on her abdomen, her face was pale, and Shi Yan hugged her tenderly.

"Mianmian, do you want to be alone?"

Xu Mian felt dizzy listening to him muttering. A voice in her heart thought, when did Shi Yan become so sentimental?

"Mianmian, I miss you so much. I want to be with you every moment. I have liked you since I was a child. You silly girl, why don't you understand?"

Xu Mian hummed, and Shi Yan lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Mianmian understands. I like you so much. I love you to the bone."

Xu Mian rubbed into his arms and muttered: "Shi Yan..."

"Mianmian, wait for me, I will be back to you soon."

"Mianmian, you can't smile at other men. Stay away from other men when you see them. Remember? Otherwise I will be angry! I am terrible when I am angry. I will bite you hard and want you badly..."

Xu Mian swallowed a mouthful of Jiangtang's saliva, chuckled, and reached out to pinch him lightly.

Shi Yan put her hand on his face and rubbed it, "Did you feel it? This is your husband Shi Yan. How stupid are you to not recognize him?"

In the Pixiang Palace, inside the curtains, the candlelight flickered and it seemed a little dim.

Pei Yu claimed that she was sick, but her makeup looked unusually gorgeous, with a bit of pink in her white, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of charm and charm. She

said tenderly: "Your Highness, touch Yao'er's forehead, is it very hot?"

There was a bit of coquettishness in her voice.

Shi Jun did not reach out to touch her forehead, but asked indifferently: "Has the imperial physician examined it?"

His tone was flat, without any concern.

Hearing this, Pei Yu's face turned pale instantly, and tears welled up in his eyes. He

lowered his head in grievance and replied softly: "Not yet..."

Shi Jun frowned and was about to turn around and leave.

Pei Yu suddenly threw himself into his arms, hugged his waist tightly, and burst into tears.

"Your Highness, Yao'er has loved you for ten years! In the past ten years, I have been thinking about you all the time, missing you, and hoping to become your wife and accompany you through every spring, summer, autumn and winter."

Her words were full of affection and attachment, as if she had expressed all her emotions.

Shi Jun sneered, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and said, "You don't love me."

Pei Yao was stunned after hearing this. She thought Shi Jun was suspecting that she loved the status and power of the prince, and hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, you misunderstood. Yao'er loves you as a person. No matter who you are, Yao'er only loves you!"

However, she didn't know what Shi Jun really meant.

Shi Jun was referring to Shi Yan, not him.

Shi Jun was full of disgust for Pei Yao, but still suppressed the anger in his heart and didn't let his hands on his knees clench too tightly.

"Then... Your Highness, can you coax me to sleep?" Pei Yao raised his head and looked at Shi Jun with affection.

Shi Jun nodded expressionlessly and sat quietly beside the bed.

After a while, he gently rubbed his temples and said, "I have a headache, I'll go back to the palace first."

After saying that, he stood up and left the Pixiang Hall without mercy.

Pei Yu was so angry that he threw his pillow. "Your Highness brought the little stutterer to Zichen Palace, but he only saw me and

left. What's so good about that stutterer? Tell me, am I prettier or is the Crown Princess prettier?" The maid flattered, "The young lady in the entire East Palace is the prettiest. No one else can compare. I guess it's because Penglai Palace burned down, so Your Highness felt sorry for the Crown Princess and let her stay temporarily. Don't be angry, young lady."

Pei Yu's eyes were full of ambition. "One day, the position of the Crown Princess will definitely be mine, and Your Highness will belong to me, Pei Yu!" In

the inner hall of Zichen Palace, it was quiet. Shi Yan held Xu Mian and patted her back gently, like coaxing a child.

Xu Mian gradually fell asleep in his arms, with a happy smile on her lips.

Shi Yan's eyes were full of love and reluctance, knowing that he couldn't stay too long, otherwise he would be discovered.

"Mian Mian, go to sleep obediently. You should eat more meat to replenish your blood tomorrow."

Then, he put on a human skin mask and turned back into Ah Fu.

He kissed Xu Mian's lips, covered her with the quilt, and suddenly pricked up his ears to hear the birds singing outside the hall, and quickly climbed out of the window and left. Shi

Jun entered the Zichen Hall right after, and had already arrived at the garden. Because he was thinking about Xu Mian, he quickly entered the inner hall and did not notice the person hiding in the corner.

Shi Yan climbed up the wall and climbed out. On the wasteland outside, Prince Fu whispered, "You are finally out. If you were a little later, you would have run into the fake prince!"

The two of them hurried out of here.

Inside the palace, Shi Jun stroked Xu Mian's cheek, leaned over and called softly: "Is Mian Mian asleep?"

Xu Mian heard the voice, turned over, reached out to grab his robe, and murmured: "Shi Yan..."

Shi Jun didn't hear clearly, and asked: "Mian Mian, what did you say?"

He put his ear to her lips and heard her mutter, "Shi Yan..."

Shi Jun's face suddenly changed, gloomier than the night.
