At this moment, a figure ran up to the two of them with lightning speed. "Your Highness, are you alright?" Qingdai had just returned and saw the princess and Ren Nuanyun sitting on the ground. She was immediately shocked, thinking that Ren Nuanyun wanted to harm the princess in public.
"It's alright, Qingdai, help me up first." Qu Qingxi's voice was weak, and her face was pale.
Qingdai quickly helped Qu Qingxi up, and while doing so, she secretly pinched Ren Nuanyun hard. No one saw Qingdai's action, but when they saw Qingdai helping the princess up, Ren Nuanyun exclaimed in surprise, assuming that she was seriously injured.
Qu Qingxi slowly stood up, one hand supporting her forehead, looking sickly. At this moment, Ren Nuanyun was also helped up by the group.
“Princess Mingxiu, are you alright? I’m so sorry, but I’ve been feeling unwell lately. The doctor in the manor said it’s dizziness and I should rest at home. I wasn’t supposed to come here today, but since this is a personal invitation from Princess Mingxiu, I should give her some face.”
Unexpectedly, even while persevering to the end, I still accidentally bumped into Princess Mingxiu. It was truly my fault, and I will certainly come to apologize with generous gifts another day.
Seeing how weak Qu Qingxi was, everyone knew she wasn't lying and had even apologized in person. Naturally, they believed what Qu Qingxi said. The Princess Consort of Nanqing was clearly unwell, yet she insisted on attending the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet hosted by Princess Mingxiu, which was truly giving Princess Mingxiu a lot of face.
People felt even more favorably toward Qu Qingxi.
Ren Nuanyun was furious when she heard this. She naturally understood what Qu Qingxi meant. It was Qu Qingxi who had knocked her down, but now Qu Qingxi was saying that it was her fault. If it weren't for her sending her an invitation, Qu Qingxi wouldn't have come and wouldn't have gotten hurt. Today's events were actually Qu Qingxi's fault.
"Princess, are you alright? Are you okay?" Qu Qingxi asked with concern.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm fine." Ren Nuanyun held her waist. She had almost suffocated from hitting the table so hard, but she couldn't say anything. Qu Qingxi had already said that. If she said anything more, it would be seen as her fault in other people's eyes.
"It's good that you're alright. I'm feeling unwell, so I'll head back first. Qingdai, hurry up and help me up." Qu Qingxi was playing a game of cunning. So what if she deliberately bumped into Ren Nuanyun?
"Yes, Your Highness." Qingdai nodded repeatedly, looking worried as she helped Qu Qingxi slowly walk outside.
Qu Qingxi walked very slowly. She dared not walk too fast, lest everyone doubt what she had just said. The moment she bumped into Ren Nuanyun, she took the opportunity to stuff the sachet that Ren Nuanyun had given her into the innermost part of Ren Nuanyun's sleeve, ensuring that it would have intimate contact with Ren Nuanyun's skin. She wanted to taste what Ren Nuanyun had given her.
Once outside the gate, the carriage was already in front. Qu Qingxi helped Qingdai up and then quickly got into the carriage.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Qu Qingxi lifted the curtain, she saw He Liufeng sitting inside, staring at her with a worried expression.
Qu Qingxi realized what was happening, but without making a sound, she immediately went inside, quickly lowered the curtain, and Qingdai acted as the coachman, driving away.
"What happened? What's wrong?" Upon receiving the message from Qingdai, He Liufeng didn't dare to delay and immediately rode back. However, he didn't return to the palace but went directly to the carriage, wanting to see that Qu Qingxi was safe and sound as soon as possible.
After all, there are too many strange things about Ren Nuanyun. Although Qu Qingxi is skilled in martial arts and medicine, she will inevitably suffer losses in front of Ren Nuanyun.
Seeing that Qu Qingxi's face was pale, He Liufeng was very worried.
"Let's go back to the manor first." Qu Qingxi didn't explain much. She had bumped into Ren Nuanyun earlier, and the movement was too agitated, so she had already given herself the last silver needle treatment.
She forced herself back into the carriage, already trying very hard to control herself.
But by sheer coincidence, He Liufeng was inside the carriage.
Despite the carriage being quite spacious, Qu Qingxi felt unusually cramped, even the air seemed stuffy. More importantly, she could smell the alluring scent emanating from He Liufeng.
Qu Qingxi wanted to die. That damned Ren Nuanyun had really ruined her life.
"What's wrong with you?" He Liufeng was even more worried when he saw Qu Qingxi sit far away from him after entering the carriage, not even glancing at him, and sitting there silently with her eyes closed. He pushed himself up with both hands and sat down next to Qu Qingxi.
Noticing her furrowed brows and pale face, he reached out and touched Qu Qingxi's face.
Qu Qingxi opened her eyes instantly and looked at the person in front of her. Damn it, what is this man doing? She clearly couldn't hold back anymore, and she had already taken the initiative to keep her distance from him, but he still came closer!
He even touched himself!
The two were very close, and the strong scent emanating from He Liufeng filled Qu Qingxi's nostrils and then spread throughout her body.
Qu Qingxi felt an overwhelming urge to hug He Liufeng and kiss him. She didn't know what kind of fragrance he was wearing, but she loved it so much.
"How could you..." He Liufeng was about to speak when suddenly, Qu Qingxi reached out and grabbed the back of He Liufeng's neck, pulling him straight towards her and kissing him.
He Liufeng was completely stunned by the kiss. When did his princess become so proactive?
Without thinking twice, Qu Qingxi tightened her grip on He Liufeng's hand, and with a "thud," she pinned He Liufeng down beneath her.
He Liufeng was completely bewildered, but then he realized that Qu Qingxi's condition was abnormal, as if she had been drugged with an aphrodisiac.
Qingdai, who was driving the carriage, heard a loud noise coming from inside. She quickly lifted the curtain and looked inside. What did she see?
The princess actually pinned the prince down?
Where did that delicate princess go?
Also, what's with the domineering prince?
How could he be pinned down by the princess?
Are they playing such elaborate games with each other?
Qingdai realized something and quickly lowered the curtain. What did she see?
No, she didn't see anything. Yes, she didn't see anything. She was focused on driving the whole time!
Qingdai thought that if the prince knew that he had seen this scene, he would not even be able to see the moon tonight. Qingdai subconsciously touched her neck and then hurried to catch the carriage.
"Did you take an aphrodisiac?" He Liufeng asked in a low voice as Qu Qingxi kissed his neck.
"Chunmei." Qu Qingxi's tone had changed, becoming extremely soft and charming. Qu Qingxi herself was unaware of it, but He Liufeng could feel it very clearly.
Two simple words answered all the questions.
It was Chunmei. There was no antidote, so she immediately thought of him and asked him to come back quickly, hoping he would be her antidote. She had fallen for him.
He Liufeng quickly came to a conclusion.
Qu Qingxi's physical reactions became increasingly severe, and kissing alone was no longer enough to satisfy her.
The carriage was brightly lit. Qu Qingxi opened her eyes slightly and saw He Liufeng staring intently at her. Looking down, Qu Qingxi saw He Liufeng's Adam's apple.
