Such coldness and ruthlessness made Liu Yunyun burst into tears.
Mother Liu was also furious. She shielded Liu Yunyun behind her and said, "Your Highness, Yunyun has never wronged you. Why do you have to bully her like this? Although our Liu family may not be as wealthy as the Jian'an Palace, even clay people have tempers. Why are you forcing her so hard?"
"Is this prince forcing you? Who is it that sheds tears in front of the emperor, insisting on marrying off his daughter? Who is it that wants to come to this prince's palace, act like a mistress, put on airs, and cause trouble to the others in the palace before the engagement is even confirmed?" Shen Yuhan was also furious and said mercilessly, "Madam Liu, your reputation is not earned, it is earned."
After saying that, he took Fang Qingyue away without mercy.
Only Liu's mother, who was trembling with anger, and Liu Yunyun, who kept scratching herself, were left.
On the way back in the carriage, Shen Yuhan grabbed Fang Qingyue's hand and forced her to sit next to him: "Did you do what happened to Liu Yunyun?"
Fang Qingyue pursed her lips and said unhappily, "Why? Is the prince feeling distressed?"
Shen Yuhan shook her head helplessly, her tone gentle and even a little doting: "How could it be? I have already told you that my engagement with her is impossible. I also told the emperor today that I refuse the marriage. But in the end, I can't disobey the emperor's order, but I can't marry her."
"Don't you know who I have in my heart?" He lowered his head and gently kissed Fang Qingyue on the lips.
A lot of wine was consumed during the meal, causing Shen Yuhan to smell of alcohol, but it was not unpleasant, but rather had a sweet smell.
After a while, he asked, "What's going on with Jian Yanzhi?"
Just now, he had heard that Fang Qingyue and Jian Yanzhi were hanging out in the Imperial Garden, and he felt unhappy. Now that he suddenly remembered it, he simply brought up the old matter again.
It's impossible for Fang Qingyue to care about Liu Yunyun but not let him care about Jian Yanzhi.
"He and I are really just friends. It's just that he was interested in herbs before, so I got to know him." Fang Qingyue gently put her arm around Shen Yuhan's waist and leaned in Shen Yuhan's arms.
After Liu Yunyun and her mother returned to the Liu Mansion, they felt their bodies becoming more and more itchy.
Originally, only the exposed skin was itchy, but now she could feel the itch all over her body, making her want to find an iron comb and comb her body.
She was so itchy that she called a few maids to scratch her, but it still couldn't relieve the itch and instead made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Someone come quickly! Boil a big bucket of water for me, I want to take a bath!" Liu Yunyun shouted repeatedly.
Soon, Xiao Tao brought a group of servants to bring hot water and fill the bathtub in Liu Yunyun's room.
Liu Yunyun couldn't wait to take off her clothes and jumped in. Just a soak in the hot water didn't eliminate the itchiness all over her body. Instead, it became even more intense, almost drilling into her bones, making her feel it firsthand.
Liu Yunyun kept thrashing around in the water, scratching at the itchy spots on her body, splashing the water in the tub everywhere, but she was still completely unaware: "It's so itchy, Xiaotao, help me, I really can't stand it anymore."
Seeing that she was almost scratching her body to the point of bleeding, Xiaotao hurriedly grabbed Liu Yunyun's hands.
"Miss, if you keep digging like this, you'll be left with scars. I'm afraid the prince won't be pleased then."
Only after such persuasion did Liu Yunyun reluctantly stop what she was doing.
However, even though she managed to stop herself, she still couldn't control her struggle: "Quick, call the court doctor over. Since Fang Qingyue gave me the medicine, the court doctor will definitely be able to cure me!"
She didn't believe that the doctor in their Shangshu Mansion was no better than Fang Qingyue, a mediocre doctor who had hardly studied medical books!
Soon, the court doctor was called over.
Liu Yunyun was only wearing thin clothes and sat there, letting him take her pulse.
"I heard that this itchy skin might be due to an allergy. Please cure me quickly, or I won't feel uncomfortable!"
Now the itching has spread to her throat, making her swallow her saliva continuously, hoping to cover up the itching.
His voice was also much hoarser than before.
The court doctor carefully examined Liu Yunyun's pulse. After a while, his brow furrowed fiercely. "Miss, have you offended some sacred authority?"
"Why, you can't cure me?" Just before the court doctor came over, Liu Yunyun couldn't help but take another bath.
This time was almost the same as the last time. Not only did it not ease at all, but the itch became deeper and deeper, almost penetrating into the bones.
"I don't know who gave you this medicine, but I don't have the ability to remove it. The person who caused it must be found to untie it. I'm afraid I still have to find that person to relieve this itch."
He spoke respectfully, but it made Liu Yunyun angry.
She kicked the court doctor in the waist, knocking him to the ground. "Waste! If I had known you were so useless, I wouldn't have come to you. I just don't believe there's no other doctor in the capital who can relieve my itching!"
The court doctor was kicked and fell, his waist aching badly, but he still advised: "Miss, you should find the person who gave you the medicine as soon as possible. If you delay this for too long, even if you get better, there may still be sequelae. If that happens, it will be troublesome."
Liu Yunyun gritted her teeth in anger.
Asking her to bow down to Fang Qingyue? How could that be possible?
Thinking of how Fang Qingyue was complimented by others at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she felt a pang of resentment in her heart.
Liu Yunyun ordered people to call many famous doctors in the capital, but all of them said the same thing as the palace doctor.
Itch powder is a special blend, and I don't know what's in it. If they force it, it might work, but it's easy to overdo it, and if it causes other side effects, that would be troublesome.
