Zhao Cong stumbled and pushed open the door of Youlan Palace. When Cang Ying touched his arm, it was shockingly hot!
"Crown Prince!"
Zhao Cong frowned and whispered two names in his ear, "Take them quietly, don't... alert anyone."
Cang Ying glanced into the room and saw Su Yun collapsed on the ground, blood gushing from the corner of her mouth, her eyes rolling back as she looked over, which was quite frightening.
"Your Highness, this servant will summon Physician Zhu!"
Zhao Cong suddenly grabbed his wrist, "Don't call him here!"
"Send, send the orphan back to the main house."
Cang Ying dared not presume, "But you're burning up..."
Zhao Cong was in so much pain that he was almost hallucinating. He pushed Cang Ying aside and went straight to the main house.
Lin Qingwan was still wondering what the people from Youlan Palace were doing with the medicine when the door was suddenly pushed open with a "bang".
Mu Xue was startled and instinctively stepped in front of Lin Qingwan. When she saw who it was, she asked in disbelief, "Crown Prince? What... what's wrong with you?"
Lin Qingwan reached out to help Zhao Cong before she could.
Zhao Cong instinctively flinched, but upon seeing her face clearly, he eagerly extended his hand.
It's so hot!
Just as Lin Qingwan was about to call the imperial physician, Zhao Cong impatiently shooed Mu Xue away, "Get out!"
"Don't call the imperial physician, I'm fine."
"Just take a rest and you'll be fine."
Lin Qingwan noticed that although he was hot, he was sweating, so it wasn't just a fever.
She gave Mu Xue a wink, "You can go out now."
"I'll be right outside. If you need anything, Madam, just call me."
Before Lin Qingwan could even utter a word of agreement, Zhao Cong sternly ordered, "Get out!"
Mu Xue, quick-witted, rushed out of the house, nearly bumping into Cang Ying.
"Eunuch Cang, what's wrong with His Highness the Crown Prince? He looks so fierce."
"He's not going to hit our lady, is he?"
Cang Ying broke out in a cold sweat. "Miss Mu Xue, please be careful with your words. The Crown Prince and his wife are a loving couple."
Mu Xue realized she had let something slip, but she was really worried about Lin Qingwan. Her eyes lit up and she had an idea: she would go find help!
At this moment, Shen Xu caught up, "Eunuch Cang, that wine cup contains... it contains... um!"
Cang Ying covered his mouth.
Shen Xu was so anxious his eyes almost popped out of their sockets when Cang Ying pulled him to the corridor and warned him, "Are you out of your mind! There are still guards and palace maids in the courtyard!"
Shen Xu paused for a moment, then pursed his lips and said softly, "It's...it's an aphrodisiac."
Cang Ying had already guessed it.
"The Crown Prince went to see Lady Wan?" Shen Xu's voice trembled. He dared not think further, but he couldn't help but think about it.
Cang Ying closed her eyes briefly. "Nonsense! Who else could we turn to besides Madam Wan!"
“But they…” Shen Xu looked around, “Didn’t we agree it was fake…? Do you think they’d agree? The Crown Prince…”
Cang Ying had completely calmed down and composedly straightened her clothes. "What's all the fuss about?"
“It’s not that I’m making a fuss, it’s just…” Shen Xu paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that the eunuch might know something they didn’t.
"What do you mean by that? Why aren't you worried at all that the Crown Prince has made a mistake?"
Cang Ying raised an eyebrow and proudly curled her pinky finger, "I told you before that there are different levels of gatekeeping. You can't compare to us."
Shen Xu perked up, "Grandpa Cang is amazing! I am in awe!"
"Quick! Tell me what you know."
Cang Ying could see clearly from the entrance of Youlan Palace that the Crown Prince had already discovered something in the wine and deliberately drank it. Thinking back on this period, he was constantly worried that Lin Qingwan would leave.
It seems things need to be brought to the forefront.
"Ahem." Cang Ying said in a serious tone, "When the plague struck Chaoning Street, the Crown Prince developed a rash, and Miss Lin happened to be inside, do you remember?"
He had barely uttered a sentence when Shen Xu was so shocked he could have swallowed a boulder.
"You mean the Crown Prince made his move against them back then?"
Cang Ying nodded and then shook her head.
What do you mean? Is it yes or no?
Cang Ying was in a dilemma. The one whose pants were torn was the Crown Prince... This matter could not be said without damaging the Crown Prince's dignity.
He glared at Chen Xu and said ambiguously, "Our family isn't inside!"
Shen Xu pressed on, "You were so certain just now, why the change in your expression?"
"Eunuch Cang, you are the most powerful person in the Eastern Palace. Please tell me the truth, otherwise I'll be in so much pain..."
Cangying was being chased all the way when the two suddenly heard the sound of things falling to the ground in the main house.
Both of them fell silent.
Shen Xu swallowed hard. "Such a big commotion."
"The Crown Prince was previously known for his integrity and had no experience, so he doesn't know..."
Cang Ying covered his mouth again, her eyes wide open, but she was thinking to herself, should she prepare a pair of underpants for the Crown Prince in advance?
In this situation, is one pack enough?
Main house.
Lin Qingwan realized that he had been drugged.
No sooner had Mu Xue closed the door than he pulled her into his arms.
Lin Qingwan struggled, but he suppressed the urge to run away and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't run."
Just those two words are one thing.
Later, he buried his face in Lin Qingwan's neck and said, "Please."
Lin Qingwan immediately gave up struggling.
"Were you drugged?" she asked nervously.
Zhao Cong nodded, looking both obedient and aggrieved. Who would have thought that he would drink it even though he knew there was medicine in it?
Their plan was to find Lin Qingwan!
"How about we call Physician Zhu? Otherwise you'll feel very uncomfortable," Lin Qingwan gently comforted and advised.
Zhao Cong smelled her delicate fragrance, and the effects of the drug rushed to his body. "No."
"If I were to have a beloved concubine and still call her the Imperial Physician, it would be a cover-up if word got out."
Lin Qingwan added, "Imperial Physician Zhu is one of our own."
Zhao Cong immediately replied, "He's even less capable."
He hadn't forgotten that this person was sleeping on the bed with Lin Qingwan's clothes in his arms! And he was even smiling at Lin Qingwan!
"He has a foul mouth."
Lin Qingwan laughed out loud, her heart pounding even faster. She gripped Zhao Cong's clothes tightly with both hands, "Then...the Crown Prince intends to..."
She couldn't bring herself to say it.
Zhao Cong's breathing quickened, and he was almost losing his reason. "Qingwan, do you... want me?"
The scalding heat enveloped Lin Qingwan's entire body, making it impossible for her to think. She could only be held tightly by him, burned by the fire emanating from his body.
With the last shred of his sanity, Zhao Cong said, "Everyone saw that you married me."
"Are you content with just taking care of my child and don't want to sleep with me?"
Lin Qingwan blushed and her heart pounded. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but that she didn't dare.
"Qingwan, tell me, do you want to?"
His lips were already on hers, seemingly certain that she was willing, yet he stubbornly insisted that she nod.
Lin Qingwan, roasted like that, was far from being fully conscious. Besides, she'd been conscious for far too long…
Her desire was aroused, and she felt her blood was not obeying her, since he was already in her blood.
They seemed to be carrying her to respond to her owner's request.
Lin Qingwan closed her eyes, her lips trembling violently, "I...want it."
Let's talk about the future later.
Zhao Cong's breath hitched, and he bent down to pick the person up and carry them into the gauze curtain.
The flickering candlelight burned all night, making the room unbearably hot. The sounds coming from behind the thin gauze curtains finally subsided just before dawn.
