Chapter 169 That wine...how much did you drink
?
Ji Xiaohan carefully placed the little princess on the bed. Seeing her immediately roll into the bed, he could only sit on the edge of the bed and did not approach her again. "Wanyan, don't be afraid. I won't touch you."
The movement of turning over made Su Wanyan gasp for breath. She lay on the inside of the bed, looking at the distance between the two of them. She felt relieved a little. She tried to calm herself down and asked, "Ji Xiaohan, how much wine... did you drink?"
Su Wanyan felt as if her whole body was burning with fire. She felt that if she didn't have strong self-control, she would have pounced on Ji Xiaohan right now, seeking the fastest solution.
But she knew that it was impossible for Ji Xiaohan to put the drug in the wine personally, which meant that Ji Xiaohan also drank the wine. No matter how uncomfortable she was now, this man was also feeling the same way.
But Su Wanyan could not see anything unusual on Ji Xiaohan's face. If the man's breathing had not become heavier and his body temperature had not been too high when he hugged her just now, she would have really thought that she was the only one who was uncomfortable.
Ji Xiaohan looked at the little princess lying there, her graceful figure unconsciously revealed, his eyes dark and unclear, "Not much, just one pot, except for what you drank."
Su Wanyan was shocked. She struggled to squeeze closer to the bed, trying to increase the distance between them again. "What? Are you stupid? You knew the wine was faulty, but you still drank the whole pot? You're a prince after all. If the wine is faulty, you should have asked for a new pot... No, do you know who drugged you? That's why you wanted to drink the whole pot without saying a word?"
Ji Xiaohan remained silent. The little princess had always been clever, and since she had already guessed it, he naturally wouldn't hide it. "This incident was indeed done by my people. I originally thought that I would drink it all by myself to spare you the suffering, but I didn't expect you to be contaminated anyway. I'm sorry."
Su Wanyan: “…”
After Ji Xiaohan said this, Su Wanyan couldn't get angry with him anymore, but she still didn't understand. "But why did they do this? They dared to drug their master. This is enough reason to drag them out and execute them in a wooden barn."
Ji Xiaohan didn't understand what "Mucangbi" meant, but when he thought about the silenced Mucang given to him by the little princess, he could probably guess what it meant.
"Perhaps this is some unreliable information they heard from somewhere? I know my people, and they are definitely doing this for my own good... or perhaps, for both of ours."
The relationship between Ji Xiaohan and the secret guards is not just a simple master-servant relationship, but more often, it is a partnership of mutual trust. The reason they did this must be that they secretly received some bad news that they had to do.
And this bad news was most likely from his little princess, so Ji Xiaohan chose to remain silent and drink the fruit wine by himself.
"You...you guys are just fooling around. Do you want to piss me off to death?" Su Wanyan glared at the man fiercely.
It was the first time she discovered that Ji Xiaohan was so tolerant towards his people. This was not like the usual master-servant relationship.
"Hmm..." Ji Xiaohan suddenly groaned, his eyes gradually turning red.
He almost finished the whole pot of fruit wine, and the medicinal effect had already taken effect. The reason why he could endure until now was entirely because he had a strong self-control that was rare among ordinary people. However, the little princess's charming appearance was right in front of him, and she was the woman he loved, so it was difficult for him not to be moved.
