From the angle the prince was looking at just now, he thought the man in purple wanted to reach out and hug Yu Rou, but when he got closer, he found that the man in purple was just handing Yu Rou a cup of tea.
Just as Yu Rou was about to reach out to take it, she stopped when he shouted at her.
The prince's voice was not loud, but it still attracted the attention of many people.
Princess He Ning also followed over, "What's wrong?"
Yu Rou remained calm and composed. The first words the purple-robed man said to her when he came over were, "Mrs. Yu really didn't disappoint me. I'm becoming more and more interested in you. What should I do?"
Hearing these words, she was almost certain that he was Prince Gu You of Guangcheng.
However, Gu You's performance today really surprised her. It showed that he was indeed not as ignorant as people said. Yu Rou was a little curious about him.
"It's nothing. This gentleman just wants to treat me to a cup of tea." Yu Rou explained.
The prince's expression softened slightly. He stared at the purple-robed man, as if trying to see through his expression. "Since we're just having tea, why don't we all join in?"
"But I only want to offer this cup of tea to this lady." Gu You's tone was filled with an unruly smile and a bit of provocation.
The prince did not get angry. He smiled and looked at Yu Rou without saying anything.
Princess He Ning naturally stood on her brother's side. She looked at Gu You unhappily and said, "You want to treat me, but Madam Yu didn't say she wanted to drink."
"Would Madam Yu be willing to drink?" Gu You asked with a half-smile.
Now that things had come to this, it was not right to drink or not, so Yu Rou had no choice but to say, "Thank you for your kindness, my dear. I'll make a pot of tea and we can all enjoy it together."
Gu You's smile faded, and he indifferently handed the tea in his hand to the follower behind him, "Okay, it's been so long, and the tea is cold, so please."
For some reason, the prince still felt a little uncomfortable. Thinking of what Princess He Ning had just said, he suddenly couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
The tea table had been removed and the tea set was gone. Yu Rou called the young man in blue to ask him to help bring some more.
A few people went to the compartment next to them. It was called a compartment, but in fact it was just a place separated by several screens. It was neither big nor small. There was a table and four cushions inside. Only the figures of the people inside could be vaguely seen through the screens.
…
The servant first brought the tea cakes and water for making tea, and after a while he brought the tea set.
They had all seen Yu Rou's tea art just now, but it was just a competition and they didn't get to drink the tea she brewed, so they were all quite looking forward to it.
Yu Rou was very serious when making tea. Her every frown and smile was particularly charming, especially her eyes. The corners of her eyes were curved with a slight blush, like peach petals. Her eyes were focused. She was obviously concentrating on the tea in her hand, but she was charming and delicate, as if seducing.
Every movement is so beautiful.
Princess Hening stared at the movements of her hands, while the Crown Prince and the Heir apparent were staring at her face, somewhat distracted.
The two were about to look away to calm down when their eyes met.
The moment they looked at each other, it seemed as if there was fire and smoke.
Yu Rou picked up the teapot and poured tea into the cups in front of them one by one. She worked from left to right, first pouring a cup for Princess Hening, then filling the cup for the Crown Prince, and finally the Crown Prince.
When the prince saw this, he pursed his lips, and for some reason, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Please enjoy your meal." Yu Rou smiled, her eyes curved into crescents, very gentle.
She was actually smiling at three people.
Princess Hening didn't pay much attention to it and picked up the teacup to smell it.
The Crown Prince and the Young Master were both stunned by her smile, and it took them a long time to pick up their teacups.
The prince heard his own heart beating so hard that it made him panic.
The prince stared at Yu Rou intently, with a determination to win flashing in his eyes.
Yu Rou poured herself a cup of tea, blew away the cool air and was about to drink it when she noticed the prince looking at her out of the corner of her eye, so she stopped and winked at him.
The prince looked away, his cheeks, which were covered by the curtain, turned slightly red.
Yu Rou smiled and took a sip slowly.
The prince was distracted and drank the tea in his hand.
The tea was very hot and burned his tongue. There was a slight pain in the heat, but the taste was wonderful.
"How is it?" Yu Rou asked.
The prince looked up at her voice and saw her looking at him eagerly. His breath caught in his throat and he whispered, "It tastes refreshing and fragrant, with a rich flavor. Very good."
The prince also raised his cup and took a sip, "It is indeed a good tea...it leaves a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth."
Before he finished speaking, Yu Rou's face suddenly turned ugly, her hand loosened and she knocked over the teacup in her hand and fell to the side.
She covered her chest, looked at the cup of tea, and thought to herself, this must be poisoned.
Princess Hening exclaimed, "Madam Yu!"
The prince was horrified and immediately stood up. In the blink of an eye, he appeared next to Yu Rou and helped her up. "What's wrong with you?"
Yu Rou was helped by him to sit up again. Her face was pale and she bit her lips, as if she was in unbearable pain.
The prince stared at the cup of tea, picked it up and smelled it, his face suddenly changed, "The tea is poisonous."
The guards outside the screen immediately rushed in, "Master, what happened?"
The prince reached out and felt Yu Rou's pulse, his expression becoming even uglier.
Yu Rou's face was already frighteningly pale. The prince took out a small bottle from his arms and poured out the medicine in the bottle without hesitation. It was a black pill the size of a fish eye.
Princess Hening said in shock: "Brother, this medicine..."
This pill was given to the crown prince by Emperor Xiaozhen. Ten kinds of rare medicinal materials were used to refine only three pills in total. The genius doctor who refined this pill has passed away. A few years ago, Emperor Xiaozhen was poisoned and ate one pill. There are only two pills left in the world. When the crown prince was appointed, Emperor Xiaozhen kept one for himself and gave one to the crown prince. Legend has it that this pill can cure all poisons, so it can be said to be a life-saving thing.
