Mu Jingshan said, "It was bound to happen sooner or later. After what happened yesterday, the Princess Consort can't just shirk responsibility for our Prince, can she?"
Su Ruojin: ......
What happened to her yesterday? What happened to her??
Wasn't she supposed to be helping Xiao Yanchu detoxify? How did she end up taking responsibility?
Seemingly noticing Su Ruojin's confusion, Mu Jingshan subtly reminded her, "The Prince wasn't wearing clothes during his treatment yesterday..."
Su Ruojin felt helpless; how could Mu Jingshan be just like Xiao Yanchu?
She's a doctor, a doctor!
Doctors don't distinguish between genders!
Others may not understand, but Mu Jingshan himself is a doctor, so surely he doesn't understand either?
Besides, what do you mean by not wearing clothes? You were still wearing underwear.
What, do they not consider underwear to be clothes?
Before she could say anything, Mu Jingshan added, "Your Highness, please rest assured, she won't call you that when there are outsiders present."
Oh well, let them be.
Su Ruojin was too lazy to argue about the issue anymore.
"What did you say to the Dowager Consort?"
Consort Jiang had no idea that Xiao Yanchu had been affected by the Soul-Devouring Shadow.
Xiao Yanchu was unconscious, and Consort Jiang insisted on visiting him, which would expose the truth.
"They said that His Highness needs to accompany the envoy from Northern Li recently."
That way, even if the Dowager Consort came looking for the Prince, she could simply say that the Prince hadn't returned yet.
Su Ruojin nodded and said to Mu Jingshan, "You must be tired too. Go and rest for a while. I'll stay here and watch over things."
Mu Jingshan did not refuse, bowed and took his leave.
The man on the bed lay quietly, his face still somewhat pale, a few strands of hair falling across his forehead, his hair looking messy, his eyelashes trembling slightly with his breath, he had lost some of his usual sharpness, like a docile and tamed little beast.
Su Ruojin squatted down beside the bed and couldn't help but reach out and poke his face. It was soft and slightly cool.
"Xiao Yanchu, tell me, should I marry you or not?"
Having been reborn, Su Ruojin originally did not intend to get married. In this era, it was common for men to have multiple wives and concubines, which she could not accept.
Now that she has met Xiao Yanchu, who is willing to be with her for life, it would be a lie to say that Su Ruojin is not moved at all by his sincerity and his feelings.
But if she marries him, she will be one with him, and as the regent's wife, it means she can no longer escape everything at the center of imperial power.
Looking at the unresponsive man on the bed, Su Ruojin sighed, "Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time. When that day comes, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Su Ruojin didn't even realize that her words were already the best answer.
As she got up, she didn't notice the man lying on the bed; a slight smile played on his lips.
Su Ruojin glanced again at Mao Mao, who was fast asleep on the chaise lounge.
After each time Mao Mao ingests poison, it sleeps for a long time, as if it is using this method to break down the toxins in its body.
It will wake up naturally when its fur turns white again.
After waking up, it will devour a large amount of Food-Supplementing Grass.
If it weren't for the fact that the grass grows so quickly thanks to the irrigation of the Crane Rock Soil, there really wouldn't be enough for Mao Mao to eat.
Su Ruojin hadn't told Xiao Yanchu that the so-called Crane Rock Soil was actually Mao Mao's poop because, in addition to the Crane Rock Soil being added to his medicinal bath, the more important reason was that the pills he took were also made from five kinds of medicinal herbs.
In a sense, Xiao Yanchu was eating Mao Mao's poop.
The fact that a dignified regent would eat Mao Mao's poop, even if Mao Mao is a legendary mythical beast, would probably hurt his pride.
Su Ruojin would never admit that she did it on purpose.
Only then can we see Xiao Yanchu's reaction after waking up and learning the truth.
