Seeing her innocent yet puzzled look, the Crown Prince thought she was still pretending and said coldly, "Why? Or do you want to find Qin Shen or the Crown Prince of Guangcheng for the antidote?"
Yu Rou looked at him speechlessly and asked in a puzzled tone, "Your Highness, have you misunderstood something?"
"What misunderstanding? You kept calling me Mr. Qin just now. I misheard you and thought you were calling me your lover. And the way you smiled at Gu You, weren't you trying to seduce him?" The prince sneered after he finished speaking. His face was gloomy and his eyes were frightening.
Yu Rou was stunned. What was he talking about?
"You have nothing to refute?" The prince glared at her angrily, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
Originally, he planned to continue to pretend to be nice to her until the engagement was broken off and then tell her that he had no intention of marrying her at all, so that she could taste the pain of being abandoned.
He had also made arrangements. Today, he would drug her wine and plot against her and his fifth brother. This would not only ruin her reputation, but also make his father disappointed in his fifth brother. This would kill two birds with one stone.
But when he saw the look in Gu You's eyes towards Yu Rou, he changed his mind.
Even if he framed Yu Rou and his fifth brother so that she could not become the prince's consort, she might still seduce Gu You again. After all, Gu You was obviously very interested in her today. With Gu You's personality, he could guess that as soon as he broke off the engagement, Gu You would immediately take her back to Guangcheng Palace.
This woman is very capable. Maybe even after her reputation is damaged, she can become the Crown Prince's consort.
He couldn't let her have what she wanted, so he couldn't break off the engagement, he wanted to keep her bound.
"Prince, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
Yu Rou's ears were still flushed, and her slender neck revealed her fair and tender skin.
The prince thought to himself, if he hadn't come, would she really find someone else to find the antidote? Has this woman forgotten that they are still engaged? He hasn't broken off the engagement with her yet, but she smiled at another man in front of him. What else is there for her to be afraid of?
How could he be fascinated by such a woman in his previous life? He was willing to give up everything for her, but she threw herself into the arms of another man without hesitation.
The prince clenched his fists, feeling uneasy.
"Before I change my mind, you'd better ask me to help you, otherwise the drug will take effect and you will lose consciousness in an instant."
“…”
Yu Rou really couldn't stand it anymore. She lowered her head and held back her laughter, her shoulders shaking slightly uncontrollably.
The prince frowned and thought: You are crying now, do you think I will be soft-hearted?
Yu Rou thought that the prince's misunderstanding seemed to be quite big, and it would be a bad idea to expose it directly, but she didn't want to make the best of it.
How can I tell him that he wasn't drugged at all and it was just a natural reaction to drinking?
This prince was much more awkward than she had imagined. He looked like he hated her to death, but he still paid attention to her everywhere. Just now, when they were playing drinking games, she felt that the prince was staring at her closely, causing her to be distracted and look at him all the time.
Seeing that she still didn't look up or speak, the prince showed an irritated look and said, "Do you think I will soften my heart?"
Yu Rou pursed her lips to prevent herself from laughing, "Your Highness, you really misunderstood."
"I told you that you don't have to pretend anymore..." The prince's words stopped abruptly.
Yu Rou looked up at him, her cheeks slightly flushed, her cherry-like lips tender and tempting, and her watery eyes just looked straight into his eyes.
Her rosy cheeks are as fresh as spring, and her long black hair stretches around her neck.
The prince's heart felt as if it had been hit hard, like a stone falling into a calm pond, causing ripples that took a long time to calm down.
He looked away, not looking at her, and after a while he said, "Come with me, I'll take you to get the antidote."
Yu Rou thought: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too capricious.
She simply stopped explaining and wanted to see what else he would come up with.
The prince grabbed her and, with some unknown martial arts skill, he moved as fast as the wind and took her deep into the bamboo forest.
Yu Rou felt a gust of wind blowing past her ears, and the heat in her body gradually dissipated. She thought the blush on her face would fade away soon.
Yu Rou saw a long stream. Not far from the stream was a courtyard, surrounded by seven or eight ancient pines, with water flowing around it.
To reach the courtyard, you have to cross a small bridge that spans the two sides of the stream. The sound of the gurgling water is very pleasant.
"Where is this?" Yu Rou asked in surprise.
The prince ignored her and flew across the bridge and into the courtyard, which was guarded by palace maids and eunuchs.
The palace maids and eunuchs inside were visibly startled when they saw the prince, and they all knelt down to pay their respects. The prince waved his hand and said coldly, "Go and get Bai Ye."
The eunuch left immediately.
Yu Rou secretly looked around the courtyard, wondering where it was.
The prince brought her into the inner room. Yu Rou smelled a faint scent of incense, which was very similar to the prince's scent.
"Your Highness, put me down. I have something to say."
The prince said coldly, "Don't misunderstand me. I don't intend to make your antidote myself. I brought you here just to force the drug out of you."
Yu Rou raised her eyelids and said seriously: "Your Highness, I just feel a little hot after drinking some wine. I haven't been drugged. I will be fine after a while. You really misunderstood."
The prince froze and hesitantly let go of her. "What did you say?"
"Your Highness, what are you thinking? Why do you think I was drugged?" Yu Rou looked at him curiously.
The prince's face turned pale and he was speechless. He even wondered if he had been kicked in the head by a donkey and what he was thinking about.
"Your Highness said those words just now, were you jealous?" Yu Rou reached out and tugged at his sleeve. "If the Crown Prince doesn't like me talking to others, just say it directly. There's no need to do this."
