She was as weak as a soft cloud in his arms, as if she could disappear at any time.

Shi Jun held her tightly, "Mian Mian, don't be afraid, I will definitely heal you."

"What if I really become a living dead? What if I don't recognize you?"

"I will accompany you so that you can see me anytime."

"What if I can't move and can't walk hand in hand with you?"

"I will hold you and walk all over the country. You don't need to do anything. I will be your legs and your hands..."

This is too good to be true. Xu Mian's head rested softly on his big palm. Shi Jun lowered his head slightly and touched her pale and soft lips.

After a sweet confession, the feelings heated up. Xu Mian was kissed dizzy. I wonder if the living dead feel when being kissed?

He kissed her gently, as if he was afraid of making her condition worse, so he was restrained.

In the back garden, Shi Yan kept searching for the medicine bottle in the pond. Xu Sheng was afraid that his identity would be exposed, so he drove away all the servants and held up a lantern to shine some weak light.

"Your Highness, have you found it?"

The pond was not shallow, and it was above his waist. It was too slow to search while standing. It was almost five hours.

Shi Yan simply dived to look for it, and finally found a porcelain bottle after half an hour, "Found it!" He

took the lantern and took a look, and was disappointed: "This is poison, not an antidote!"

He took a deep breath again, dived to look for it, and finally found the antidote bottle not far from the poison.

"Found it, great! Mianmian is saved!"

He was about to run to Fuxi Pavilion, but was stopped by Xu Sheng, "Your Highness is confused, the fake prince is here! I'll ask Xuelian to take him in."

This reminded Shi Yan, and he whispered to Xu Sheng and went into a side room. Xuelian came in with a set of clothes.

After a while, a sturdy maid twisted her waist and entered Fuxi Pavilion.

The door was not closed, and Shi Yan went in with a plate. He saw a man hugging a woman on the bed and kissing her to death.

Roar, I'm so mad!

This fake prince, you're so good, I'm working hard to find the antidote, and you're taking advantage of Mianmian here!

He stomped his feet and went in with a loud noise.

Shi Jun let go of Xu Mian, and both of them were panting, and even Xu Mian's originally pale lips turned red.

Shi Yan twisted her waist and walked closer, saying in a coquettish voice: "I have a prescription at home, boiled in black chicken soup, and I am sending it to the young lady on the order of the master."

Shi Jun looked and wondered why there was such a strong maid in the Xu Mansion, with heavy makeup, frowning, and a face as big as a man, but twisting her waist, so coquettish.

Xu Mian took a closer look, and this guy was not... She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and touched her lips weakly.

Isn't this the real scene of catching an adulterer!

She trembled with guilt and said, "Your Highness, let Xiaohong feed me the soup, you go out and have a rest."

"I'll feed you, Xiaohong looks clumsy."

Shi Yan sat down on the bed, "Your Highness, you don't know that this ancestral prescription has certain requirements for taking, and only I know."

Xu Mian looked at the bowl of soup and said, "Hurry up and feed me, how can I go out and play if I become a living dead? "

As soon as his hand touched the bowl, Shi Yan deliberately moved it away.

Xu Mian's anxious tears were about to fall, and he suddenly shouted, "Get out! I want to drink soup!"

Shi Jun reacted for a while before realizing that he was yelling at him. He thought that maybe this soup was effective, so he tried it anyway.

"Mian Mian, I'll be waiting at the door, you can call me anytime."

"Get out!"

Shi Yan said in a shrill voice, "Please close the door, Your Highness, so that the young lady doesn't get caught in the wind."

The wind was really strong tonight, Shi Jun closed the door and waited.

Shi Yan ran to fasten the door inward.

With a terrifying look in his eyes, he sat down on the bed and asked Xu Mian to drink the soup bowl, "A Yan, give me the antidote quickly."

Shi Yan threatened, "There's still one stick of incense left until five hours, but I'm not happy. If you can't coax me, don't

even think about drinking the antidote!" Xu Mian knew that he must be very angry when he saw her kissing Shi Jun just now.

She climbed up weakly, crawled on him, and got closer to the bowl of antidote, "A Yan, I'm sorry..."

"How dare you? You kissed the fake prince!"

"I..."

She didn't even say that she didn't want to, but was forced!

That was voluntary, and in that posture just now, it was so affectionate.

Shi Yan felt the blood rushing up, and he had the urge to set the Xu Mansion on fire.

Xu Mian saw that his face was dark, and the rouge on his face turned purple and black. She

lay down and sobbed, "Then don't give me the antidote, just let me be a living dead...嘤嘤嘤...You must marry a princess and live happily. Ah Yan, I won't blame you for watching me die."

"You, since you were born, I have recognized you as the princess. How can I change to someone else?"

Xu Mian closed her eyes weakly, without saying a word. Her body seemed to be hollowed out. She had no strength at all, not even the strength to speak or open her eyes.

"Mian Mian?"

Shi Yan hurriedly drank a mouthful of the soup and leaned over to cover her lips and pass it in. It slid down, once, twice, three times, four times, five times.

After feeding her half a bowl of medicine, Shi Yan's anger was mostly gone.

"Mianmian, do you feel better?"

Xu Mian gently stroked her temples and felt a surge of heat in her body. Slowly, her head was no longer so dizzy, and she could lift her hands and feet.

"Ayan, I feel much better."

Shi Yan was about to pick her up when he heard a knock on the door.

"Mianmian, have you drunk the medicine?"

Shi Yan took Xu Mian's hand and hooked it around her neck, lowering his voice, "Mianmian, do you want him to hear our voices, or let him go?"

This crazy boy is worthy of being the devilish dog prince.

Xu Mian shouted to the outside of the door: "Your Highness, I feel much better after drinking the medicine. I want to rest. Let Xiaohong stay with me. You can go back to the palace soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Yan bit her neck...

"I'll stay with you tonight, and then I'll go back."

Shi Jun pushed the door, but found it was locked from the inside.

Xu Mian pushed Shi Yan with both hands, but was swallowed up even more recklessly.

"Mian Mian? Open the door, let me see you, I can only go back with peace of mind when you're better."

Xu Mian trembled and said, "No... I'm much better, this medicine is very effective."

Shi Yan then let go, his eagle eyes releasing a dangerous signal of satisfaction and dissatisfaction.

Xu Mian was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. It was not enough to coax one, and she had to coax two. This was too difficult.

Shi Yan pinched his throat and shouted, "Your Highness, don't worry, I will take good care of the young lady."

Xu Mian also shouted, "Your Highness, I want to sleep, I'm so tired."

Even Xu Sheng came and said respectfully, "Your Highness, you are the crown prince, it's already four o'clock in the morning, you should hurry back to attend the morning court."

Shi Jun glanced at the sky and it was almost dawn.

"Mian Mian, I will go back first, you have a good rest."

"Okay."

Shi Jun did not delay. Xu Mian was fine, and he felt relieved. It was time to hurry back to the palace to prepare for important matters.

After a while, there was no movement outside the house.

The two people in the house dared to speak.

Shi Yan pinched Xu Mian's arms and legs, "Mian Mian, have you recovered? Do you have strength?"

Xu Mian knew that he would settle the score later, so she pretended to hum, "I'm still a little weak, Ah Yan, will I become..."

Shi Yan put his fingertips on her lips, "Don't talk nonsense, it's probably that the effect of the medicine has not been fully absorbed. You will be able to recover in an hour."

Xu Mian grabbed his robe and climbed up, burrowing into his arms, "Ah Yan, I'm weak, hold me." "

No!"

Shi Yan deliberately didn't hold her. He was still half angry! The green hat on his head hasn't been taken off yet!

This rejection was too hurtful to her self-esteem. Xu Mian's mouth shrank and she cried aggrievedly.

"You said you would not make me cry anymore, and would not bully me... You were all lying... Sob... Sob..."

Shi Yan looked at the two lines of tears rolling down her cheeks, and his heart trembled. This woman was so beautiful when she cried and laughed that it touched his heart.

"In that case, why do you still want to find an antidote for me? Why not let me be a living dead..."

"You also said that I soaked in the pond for an hour, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and grabbed so much mud in my hands before I found the antidote. What about you? Did you feel comfortable kissing that boy?"

The more he talked, the angrier he got. Shi Yan grabbed her, kissed her fiercely, and bit her for a while.

"Why don't you kiss me back? Do you think my kissing skills are not as good as that boy's?"

Xu Mian pretended to be wronged and said, "I don't have the energy to kiss back. Besides, when he kissed me, I didn't respond..."

This was somewhat useful, after all, Mian Mian didn't kiss the fake prince back.

Xu Mian took advantage of the situation and coaxed her, "A Yan, kiss me again, and I will definitely kiss you back, okay?"

This attitude of admitting mistakes was too good. Shi Yan held her cheek, without the fierceness just now, and entangled with her to the utmost with full love.

"Mianmian, are you ready?"

"Almost."

"Then... is it okay?"

Xu Mian's face was flushed, and her lips were red and charming. "Ayan, I'm hungry, can you feed me some Begonia cake?" Shi

Yan pulled the plate that had just been brought over, took out a piece of Begonia cake, and fed it to her lips.

"Is it delicious?"

"Delicious, Ayan, you should have a bite too. This is the signature snack of a time-honored store in the east of the city."

"I don't want to eat it. There are better ones..."

Xu Mian shyly looked up at him while eating the Begonia cake. Shi Yan really changed a lot. It must have been very hard for him to pick up the medicine bottle in the pond just now.

"Have you eaten enough, Mianmian? Are you not hungry anymore?"

"Yeah."

"Then I should savor it carefully..."

--------

The next day, in the Purple Palace.

Wei Xin came in, closed the door, and handed over Pei Qing's secret letter.

It said that the people in the front palace had been replaced, and all the guards who had been keeping His Majesty in seclusion had been replaced. They would wait until the day after tomorrow to enter the Enlightenment Palace to force the emperor to write a letter of abdication.

"The day after tomorrow? So soon?"

Shi Jun sat down again, thinking that it would be better not to take Xu Mian into the palace for the time being. He was also worried that he would hurt her.

"Hurry up and organize the people you have, and prepare for the worst."

Wei Xin knelt down and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I swear to be loyal to Your Highness until death."

Shi Jun helped him up, "Wei Xin, you are the person I trust the most, I hope we can win this time."

That night, Shi Jun couldn't help it, and still planned to see Xu Mian for the last time before the rebellion.

The door was pushed open, and Xu Mian was already asleep at this time.

Shi Jun approached gently, sat beside the couch, gently stroked her hair at the temples, his eyes tender.

"Mian Mian, you know how much I love you, you are the only person I cherish in this world."

If he failed the next day, he would never have the chance to see her again.

Xu Mian turned around, and dimly saw a man in front of her, who seemed to be still crying.

She opened her eyes and could tell from his expression that it was the fake prince. She felt nervous and pretended to say, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

Shi Jun suppressed some of his emotions, picked her up in his arms, and hugged her tightly.

"Mian Mian, do you know that you originally belonged to me and are my wife?"

Xu Mian remembered that Xu Sheng had mentioned that Empress Xiao and Princess Huan had made a bet, and the one who was born first was the son of Prince Huan. It was only because he died at that time that Empress Xiao asked her to be the Crown Princess of Shi Yan.

She could only sigh that they were destined to be together but not to be together.

"Your Highness, some things cannot be forced, such as fate."

Shi Jun said excitedly: "I don't believe in fate, Mian Mian, are you willing to be with me forever? Even if I am not the prince."

Xu Mian did not dare to anger him, and pretended: "I am the wife of your highness, so I am willing to follow you."

Shi Jun shed tears on Xu Mian's shoulder, and he served her sleeplessly that night. He

was so pious that Xu Mian felt that this seemed to be the husband she wanted, but she had already married Shi Yan and could not be so fickle.

She wanted to ask his real name, but she couldn't ask. Such a man, although doing treasonous things, has always treated her with care. When Xu Mian thought of him being exterminated, she couldn't help but shed a line of tears out of heartache.

Shi Jun kissed away the tears from the corners of her eyes, wanting to be with her until death.

At dawn, Xu Mian was about to fall asleep, and heard him whisper in her ear: "Mian Mian, wait for me to pick you up."

He wanted to get up, but she held him back.

Xu Mian got up and hugged him. She was not a plant, so who could be heartless? She had developed feelings for Shi Jun in the past six months.

The thought that he would be caught and executed for rebelling made Xu Mian's heart ache, and she couldn't help crying.

Shi Jun also shed tears, stroked her hair, and choked: "Mian Mian, I love you."

Xu Mian hugged his waist and cried: "Can you, can you not do the wrong thing?"

She hinted to Shi Jun not to rebel, but he had no choice. If he backed down, Pei Qing would not let him go, and the real prince would not let him go either.

Shi Jun bent down and kissed her forehead, cheeks, lips... madly like raindrops falling down...

"Mian Mian, I love you." This was his tenth confession today.

Xu Mian leaned on his neck and begged, "I hope you are safe, I hope you are well."

She wanted to say, run away, stop in time, treason is a capital crime.

Shi Jun wiped the tears from her cheeks with his warm fingertips and forced a smile, but it was clearly a bitter smile, "Mian Mian, wait for my good news. Be good, I've disturbed you all night, go to sleep."

Helping her lie down, he got up and put on his robe. Xu Mian resisted the discomfort and turned her back to him.

Before Shi Jun left, he kissed her hair, "Mianmian, I love you."

This was the eleventh confession. The moment the door closed, Xu Mian pulled up the quilt and cried inside.

Why did such a good person come to this point? If he had been taken into the palace by Empress Xiao to be raised, perhaps he would not have gone astray, and perhaps he would not have to bear all this.

Xu Mian could no longer tell what kind of emotion he had towards Shi Jun, pity, sympathy, or something else.

The next day, in Pei's mansion.

Wei Xin came in, and Pei Qing was painting "A Peaceful River and a Tranquil Sea", as if he had become a new generation of ruler. He had the ideal and ambition to rule the country, and he had been planning for eighteen years, just for tomorrow.

"What did he bring?"

"His Highness wants to ask you for the antidote."

Pei Qing chuckled. Killing the king tomorrow and letting Shi Jun take the throne is the first step. How could he let him go free?
