If He Yunxiao remembers correctly, Nan Zhu's wife is only seventeen years old. To turn her into "Rou Bao," they should at least get married first and then she should turn eighteen.
Although the State of Qi did not have the concept of eighteen years old, He Yunxiao still had to be able to accept it in his own mind.
Even in the most extreme case, the child must be at least sixteen years old.
Even with Mengbao, He Yunxiao probably wouldn't have touched her body unless the situation was urgent.
In the society of Qi, what it meant to take liberties with a girl's body was something everyone who knew understood.
Take the system for example. Originally, He Yunxiao hadn't touched Mengbao's body, and Mengbao's affection level was 75 with a mental block. After touching her body, her affection level jumped to 100, and the mental block was completely removed. Although the affection level cannot perfectly reflect the female lead's true emotional state, it is definitely a good supplementary reference.
The female leads are all very devoted girls. Once you've taken advantage of her, she only has one option: to stay with you. With no other choice, her affection level will naturally skyrocket. Not to mention the genuine cooperation, openness, and deep communication during the physical intimacy. These are all behaviors that greatly increase affection.
Previously, He Yunxiao had always found Mengbao troublesome, but now that he had taken her body, he had to shoulder the responsibility for her. He could no longer touch the Emperor of Qi, so he could only plot against the Emperor of Yan.
He Yunxiao now only hopes that the Emperor of Yan is a wicked old man, so he can directly carry out his righteous act and overthrow him. Please, no more of this "Emperor Yan is actually a great beauty" setup!
The relationships between the various heroines in her own household were already a tangled mess, and now with the addition of the ever-troublesome Mengbao, who knows how chaotic things will become. If the Emperor Yan were a woman, she could only keep her distance; as for anything else, she wouldn't even dare to think about it!
Impossible! The social conditions in Qi and Yan are similar, with male chauvinism being a basic premise. Even the female protagonist, Meng Qingqian, never truly ascended the throne, constantly suffering disadvantages due to her gender. The Yan Emperor, who unified the Yan Kingdom, could never be a woman. Furthermore, there has never been any gossip about the Yan Emperor's gender circulating, therefore, the Yan Emperor must be male!
Thinking of the Yan Emperor, He Yunxiao thought of the strange poison that had suddenly appeared on Meng Bao's body.
Logically speaking, there's no reason for the Yan Emperor to kill Li Qingmeng first and then Meng Qingqian; it simply doesn't make sense. No matter how you look at it, killing Meng Qingqian first would be better. Although Meng Bao is strong, she's still just Meng Qingqian's subordinate.
"Rou'er, have you ever heard of a rare poison called 'White Heron'?"
Meng Qingrou tilted her head slightly and thought for a moment, then said, "I've heard of it, but why are you asking?"
He Yunxiao was overjoyed and said, "My dear Rou'er, quickly tell me where this poison came from, what its characteristics are, and how to cure it."
When He Yunxiao called Meng Qingrou "Good Girl," her face instantly turned red, and she stammered, "Who is it? You, you, Nan Zhu is not good."
"Naughty?"
"Good boy! No, no, not good! No, it's not that I'm not good. Ugh! He Yunxiao! You're driving me crazy!"
He Yunxiao looked at his wife, Nanzhu, and smiled, "Rou'er is the best girl. Isn't Rou'er a good girl?"
Meng Qingrou blushed, not giving a second thought: "No. Nanzhu is an adult now, not a child."
He Yunxiao said, "Then put your hand over."
Meng Qingrou reached out her hand, and He Yunxiao also reached out his hand. Their hands touched, and the five fingers of her small hand naturally separated, waiting for the large hand to interlock and grasp hers.
He Yunxiao was trying not to laugh, while Meng Qingrou was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear.
"Cough, cough." Xing'er carried the rice porridge and walked into the house expressionlessly.
The two who were just flirting suddenly sat up straight.
After placing the porridge on the table, Xing'er said, "Your Highness, Young Master He, Xing'er will go out first."
Meng Qingrou lowered her head, not daring to look at Xing'er, and said, "Okay."
He Yunxiao smiled and waved goodbye to Xing'er.
"Rou'er, let's get down to business. What's the real situation with Bailu?"
Meng Qingrou's blush had not yet faded when she said, blushing, "'White egret' is a strange poison related to birds. It is often found in the droppings of birds such as egrets."
He Yunxiao's face turned pale. "Excrement?"
Meng Qingrou didn't understand He Yunxiao's meaning, but said seriously, "'White Egret' is a strange poison produced from bird droppings, extracted from the droppings of many, many birds. It takes about one drop for every hundred catties. According to the book, there is no fixed ratio, and sometimes it may take one drop for every thousand catties. In short, it depends on the situation."
"Then what?"
"Then this drop of poison can be used to poison the victim. The poisoned person will lose all strength and eventually die from exhaustion. The deeper the poisoning, the faster the victim will lose strength."
"Is there any way to prevent it?"
Meng Qingrou shook her head. "No, there are very few records of this poison in medical books, only what I just mentioned."
He Yunxiao asked in surprise, "Then Rou'er can't cure the poison either?"
Meng Qingrou frowned and said, "I haven't encountered Nanzhu before, so it's hard to say whether it can be cured. However, if someone is poisoned by this kind of toxin, the first thing to do is to induce vomiting to expel the remaining toxins from their stomach, so that the poisoned person is exhausted and slows down, and only then can we try to detoxify them."
He Yunxiao reflected on his actions, which were exactly the opposite of what Nan Zhu had said. He had actually exacerbated Qingmeng's toxicity. In the end, it was fortunate that Qingmeng survived; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. (cascoo.net)
But……
I was sitting with Qingmeng when she was sitting there, and she didn't eat anything. How could she suddenly be poisoned?
"Nanzhu, besides ingesting it, are there any other ways to be poisoned by this toxin?"
"Applying it to knives, spears, and weapons, or cutting someone's skin, can also cause poisoning."
That's strange. Qingmeng wasn't injured, so how could she suddenly be poisoned?
