As soon as Su He left, only Duan Qingxi and Helian Sheng were left in the study.
Duan Qingxi felt a little embarrassed, so he said, "Then I'll go back first. If Your Majesty has anything else to say..."
"sit."
Well, it seems I can’t leave.
After sitting down obediently, Helian Sheng looked at her for a long time and asked, "Who are you?"
"Duan Qingxi."
"You're not."
Duan Qingxi sneered, finding it amusing, and asked, "Why do you say that, Your Highness? If I'm not Duan Qingxi, who am I?"
Helian Sheng drummed his index finger on the table and looked at her and said, "The eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, Duan Qingxi, has been bullied and enslaved in the palace's backyard since she was a child. She is cowardly and timid, and she is not like you at all."
"Oh? I'm like this? What's wrong with me?"
Helian Sheng did not respond, but just stared at Duan Qingxi, using his eyes to express that he did not believe her identity.
Duan Qingxi didn't explain too much and said, "If Your Majesty wants to doubt me, I have nothing to say. Let time prove everything."
"Then why are you helping this king?"
"Didn't I say I wanted to find someone to lean on? The prince's shade is the best place in the whole capital to enjoy the cool breeze. Others can't get close to him. Isn't it abnormal that I have the same idea as others?"
Helian Sheng didn't say anything else.
He did doubt Duan Qingxi's identity, and felt that she was not Duan Qingxi herself, but he could not find any flaws in her.
The two were silent for a long time, neither of them had anything to say.
After a while, Duan Qingxi looked at Helian Sheng seriously and said, "Your Highness, although I don't know why you insist on getting the antidote in ten days, I still don't dare to let you take the risk. How about we negotiate a price?"
Helian Sheng looked at her, still without saying anything, but was willing to listen to her.
Duan Qingxi continued, "If this antidote is not used properly, while it can save His Majesty's life, it could also cause him to lose all his martial arts skills. If His Majesty simply wishes to do something else that day, I can prepare a temporary antidote for him. It will only last for three days, ensuring that his martial arts skills remain normal during these three days, unaffected by the poison, and perhaps even stronger."
"It's just that... after three days, the prince might suffer a backlash from the poisonous insects and need to rest in bed for a while. But with me here, the prince will definitely be fine!"
Helian Sheng seemed to be thinking, and Duan Qingxi quickly said, "There's really no rush for the antidote. Your Highness, please think carefully about yourself. You've persisted for so long, why gamble everything on just a few days?"
The worry that Duan Qingxi expressed was not real, but she genuinely cared about him.
Although he knew that she approached him for a purpose, Helian Sheng inexplicably softened his heart and nodded involuntarily.
Duan Qingxi didn't expect Helian Sheng to give in. Seeing him nod, he was extremely happy!
"Your Highness, then it's a deal! Come on, make a pinky promise!"
Helian Sheng looked at the small, white and tender little finger that Duan Qingxi extended, and was unable to react for a moment.
Duan Qingxi pulled up his right hand, then took the initiative to hook the little finger of his right hand and forced him to make a pinky promise.
"We'll make a promise and stick together for a hundred years! If you change, you'll be a puppy! A pig! A... big bad guy!"
After that, she pressed his thumb with her thumb.
It was obviously childish and ridiculous, but Helian Sheng felt a strange feeling in his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
This was the scene Su He saw when he came in.
Helian Sheng held Duan Qingxi's hand, their hands intertwined, and they looked at each other.
Duan Qingxi seemed a little shy, but more of her was happiness and sweetness, while Helian Sheng's originally cold eyes were full of doting.
Oh my god, it turns out that the prince really is having an affair with Miss Duan!
It seems that his guess was right, Miss Duan is their future princess!
I originally wanted to go in and report the situation, but Su He left with an aunt's smile.
Duan Qingxi waited and waited but Su He didn't come back, but he felt it was too awkward to sit here with Helian Sheng, so he simply found an excuse to leave.
Helian Sheng didn't stop him, but just looked at Duan Qingxi's back as he left, deep in thought...
