In response to Su Ruojin's question, Yun Shao chuckled, "Yes and no. I just happened to learn that the princess was coming to Tianning Temple, so I came here to meet her in order to make up for my longing."
He had no intention of doing anything to Su Ruojin; he just happened to come across her and went with the flow, so it can't be said that he plotted against Su Ruojin.
Yun Shao had already walked to Su Ruojin's side and reached out to put his arm around her waist. "Princess, please rest assured, this prince will definitely take responsibility and marry you as my concubine."
The incense burning in the room grew stronger and stronger, and an unnatural blush appeared on Yun Shao's face. She was completely unaware that the drug seemed to be taking effect. Su Ruojin, with her head down, had only clear eyes, showing no trace of her previous confusion.
Yun Shao's hand drew closer and closer, and before Su Ruojin could throw the needle out, the door was kicked open.
A masked man in black rushed in. Yun Shao's face darkened, and he quickly drew his soft sword from his waist to fight him.
However, the sleeping potion in the room somewhat affected Yun Shao's mind, and after a few moves, he was knocked unconscious by the man in black with a chop to the neck.
"Princess, are you alright?" The man in black pulled off his mask, revealing himself to be Yun Hao.
Su Ruojin had returned to normal. Looking at Yun Hao, she smiled wryly, "The Second Prince's arrival is truly timely."
Yun Hao naturally understood the meaning in Su Ruojin's eyes. This little girl is very vigilant and will not easily trust others.
Just as the Third Prince was about to make a move against her, he arrived immediately. Given his status as a prince, it's no wonder that Su Ruojin would become suspicious, wondering if he had deliberately set up a scheme to gain her trust.
He hurriedly explained, "Princess, this matter really has nothing to do with me. I only rushed over after receiving the news. I didn't expect my third brother to come to Tianning Temple."
Judging by the time, Yun Hao, as a prince, should have been at the prayer site. It must have taken him a lot of effort to get here, and his expression didn't seem fake.
Su Ruojin temporarily put aside her doubts and raised her chin at Yun Shao, who was lying on the ground, "What does the Second Prince intend to do?"
Yun Hao looked at Yun Shao and said, "Let him lie there. Someone will come looking for him soon. Father values and relies on him a lot. If something happens to him now, Yun Qi will be in chaos for a while."
Su Ruojin knew that what Yun Hao said was true. The third prince of the country had an accident at Tianning Temple, and the Zhao family happened to be at Tianning Temple as well. If the higher-ups really blamed them, the Zhao family would not fare well either.
“It seems the princess hasn’t been affected by the Third Prince’s aphrodisiac.” Yun Hao noticed something was off about the scent in the air and quickly pulled his mask back up.
Su Ruojin stared coldly at the unconscious Yun Shao. (Is this a love potion?)
Aphrodisiac incense is only for enhancing pleasure and will not harm people.
But Yun Shao had given her more than just aphrodisiac incense; Zhu Chao had just fed her aphrodisiac powder. If she didn't take the antidote in time and had to have sex with him, the poison wouldn't be cured, otherwise she would die within two hours, bleeding from all seven orifices.
She kicked Yun Shao twice, took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth. She couldn't kill him, but it wouldn't hurt to annoy him a little.
"What did you feed him?" Yun Hao asked curiously.
"It's nothing. I just didn't know that in Yunqi, a prince who is impotent can become emperor?"
Yun Hao's eyes widened, and he involuntarily swallowed. Senior Brother Xiao was right, never mess with Princess Chang Le.
In fact, Xiao Yanchu’s original words in his letter to him were: Don’t blame me for not warning you beforehand, don’t mess with Princess Chang Le, she is someone I can’t afford to mess with!
At first, Yun Hao thought that Senior Brother Xiao was exaggerating. Princess Chang Le looked like nothing more than a weak woman who knew medicine. What was there to be afraid of?
Now it seems that Senior Brother Xiao is indeed Senior Brother Xiao; listening to his preparations was the right thing to do.
Yun Hao paused for a moment and said, "Princess, could you please examine my mother's illness?"
Yun Hao privately disliked calling Consort Le "Mother Consort." He felt that there were too many people in the palace he had to call "Mother Consort," but he only had one mother.
It would be inconvenient for Su Ruojin to go to the palace to see Consort Le, but now that Consort Le has been brought out by Yun Hao, things are different.
Su Ruojin glanced at Yun Hao and said, "Second Prince, you've killed two birds with one stone. You've played it quite well."
