Chapter 681 Dancing Princess vs. East Factory Admiral 41
Shen Lang held her in his arms and slept all night without doing anything. This action directly led to Quan Jiu's dazed state the next day.
She was grinding the powder with all her strength.
"If he's impotent, I can still prescribe him some aphrodisiacs, but even the best cook can't cook without rice. I can't make something out of nothing..."
The problem of eunuchs cannot be solved even in modern times with advanced technology, let alone in ancient society with backward civilization.
"well……"
Quan Jiu sighed deeply.
It’s not that she can’t be Plato, but she is afraid that Chen Lang will feel inferior.
The other end.
Shen Zibeilang has returned to the East Factory.
Shen San stayed outside the Yangxin Palace all night last night, and he knew that his master had accomplished this task.
"Sir, do you think you would like to come and propose marriage someday?"
Shen San was completely unaware of Shen Lang's abnormality and was already imagining how to decorate the wedding room.
Shen Lang looked unhappy. He stopped in front and turned back and said coldly:
"Are you getting married?"
Feeling his thorny tone, Shen San shrank his neck, finally realizing that the atmosphere was not right, and chose to keep quiet for self-preservation.
Chen Lang returned to his room alone, closed the door, and sat down at the redwood table. His mind was filled with the scene of last night...
It was rare for her to take the initiative, and the atmosphere was just right. Everything went on naturally. Even if he didn't take it to the last step, he could at least teach her a lesson, so that she wouldn't always tease him for no reason.
But at the critical moment...
His sight fell between his legs, and Chen Lang's ten fingers on the table tightened involuntarily. His breathing became heavier, and some memories that had been cleared from his mind emerged uncontrollably.
The only sound in the quiet room was his intermittent breathing.
After a long time, the man took out a black wooden box from the bookshelf, opened the lock, and three oil candles lay quietly inside.
His eyes were cold, even sinister, and he took out a candle and lit it on the candlestick.
It was bright outside the window, and the weak candlelight was not dazzling, but Chen Lang stared at the bright yellow flame intently, motionless, as if enjoying a morbid pleasure.
After the entire candle burned out, Shen Lang's gloomy expression returned to normal.
………
During the period of house arrest, Quan Jiu slept in the morning, sneaked out of the palace to treat Xuanyuan Qinglan in the afternoon, and waited for Chen Lang to come and report on the progress in the evening.
Chu Tuo also came to see her several times, secretly testing her attitude, but she blocked him every time with the excuse that "the love between the emperor and the empress is the blessing of the people, and I cannot destroy it."
He Miaomiao discovered that Chu Tuo came to her palace less and less frequently. The man who used to come every night was nowhere to be seen for several days.
"Empress, His Majesty went to Divine Doctor Shen's place again tonight. He sat there for a cup of tea before returning to his bedroom..."
I reported the information I had obtained today to her ears.
He Miaomiao's brows knitted into peaks: "Have you found out why?"
The servant bowed her head respectfully: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. There are only Divine Doctor Shen, Your Majesty, and Eunuch Zhou in the room. I really can't find out any useful information."
Eunuch Zhou is unmoved by any persuasion and is loyal only to the Emperor. If she dares to ask, the Emperor will immediately know what she is doing in a short while.
He Miaomiao had a good impression of Doctor Shen. She rubbed her eyebrows and said:
“Forget it, going to Dr. Shen’s place is better than going to another woman’s den.”
The other person was a man and posed no threat to her.
"By the way, are there any pills left in the palace?"
The maid answered truthfully: "There is only one left."
He Miaomiao was worried and said without hesitation: “Go find Doctor Shen and get some more.”
………
Quan Jiu looked at the pink-dressed palace maid who came to the door with a faint look in his eyes:
"This pill should not be taken too much. It will have side effects in the long run. One pill a month is enough. Your Majesty, taking one pill a week is really too frequent."
I relayed her exact words to He Miaomiao without missing a word. After listening to them, He Miaomiao just said that she knew her limits.
She planned to change the frequency from one pill a week to one pill a month, but after only half a month, her face full of collagen began to disappear again, and her skin color was not as radiant and translucent as before.
In desperation, He Miaomiao could only take out the pill that Quan Jiu gave her and swallow it, continuing to maintain her glamorous appearance.
When receiving the news, Quan Jiu was not surprised by He Miaomiao's choice.
The saying "greedy greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant" is exactly what it means to be a person like He Miaomiao.
She naturally wouldn't stop him, and secretly instructed the palace maids in the Yangxin Palace:
"You will give Her Majesty the Queen as much as she wants."
………
Chen Lang would go to the Yangxin Palace to sit for a while every night. Sometimes he would leave after a while, and sometimes he would stay up all night drinking and fall asleep.
But without exception, they all kept to themselves and never overstepped the boundaries again.
When the confinement period was over, Quan Jiu left the palace to find Naituanzi.
The guards at Xuanyuan Qinglan's door didn't even try to stop him and let him in directly.
For him, he hadn't seen Quanjiu for a whole month:
"Dr. Shen."
He greeted her lightly, but looked behind her and found that there was no one behind her. He lowered his eyes to hide the disappointment in his eyes.
Quan Jiu pretended not to notice: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Third Prince for his recovery."
After half a month of treatment, Xuanyuan Qinglan's body recovered visibly, and her originally pale face even had a hint of color.
“It’s all thanks to Divine Doctor Shen.”
Xuanyuan Qinglan was grateful from the bottom of her heart and changed the topic to another person.
“Of course, I have to thank Doctor Shen’s apprentice. If it weren’t for Miss Shen’s careful care, I wouldn’t have recovered so quickly…”
Naituanzi looked at the man who was kept in the dark, raised her eyes guiltily and looked at Quan Jiu. The mother and son exchanged glances, and Quan Jiu curled his lips and smiled.
"I will convey the Third Prince's gratitude."
Quan Jiu stayed for a while and suggested taking Naituanzi out for a walk. Xuanyuan Qinglan wanted to follow, but she persuaded her to go back with the words "You have just recovered and need to rest."
She took the milk ball to the East Factory.
The person who opened the door was Shen San. Ever since he knew that his master and Meng Changxi were in a relationship, his attitude towards Quan Jiu had changed 180 degrees.
"Dr. Shen."
Naituanzi was holding a candied haws in his hand, and Quanjiu was carrying his bag. Although the two of them didn't even glance at each other, they looked inexplicably harmonious standing together.
This feeling became even stronger after Shen Lang arrived.
Watching the three of them get into the carriage together, Shen San inexplicably had the illusion that they were a "family of three".
In the carriage, Shen Lang stared at the little ghost sitting next to Quan Jiu with a slightly dim look in his eyes.
"You didn't say he wanted to come too."
As soon as the lockdown was lifted, she took the initiative to ask him out for shopping and outings. He originally thought that she had come to her senses, but he didn't expect that there was such a burden.
Quan Jiu knew what he was upset about, and laughed secretly in his heart, but did not show it on his face:
“It’s more fun when there are more people.”
Chen Lang's face was expressionless: "Should I thank you for not bringing Xuanyuan Qinglan with you?"
