At this moment, Zhen Hao, who had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly appeared in the room.
"Your Highness, how can you take pills so casually? What if they are..." Zhenhao wanted to say what if they were poison? But then he changed his mind, "What if Your Highness gets an upset stomach?"
"Zhenhao, you have to believe in Xiaojiu, she's very capable."
Prince Zhen said nonchalantly, then swallowed the pill in one gulp. Zhen Hao felt a tightness in his chest and was unable to stop him in time.
At this moment, Prince Zhen's eyes widened instantly. He kept choking himself with one hand, while his other hand suddenly reached out towards Zhen Hao.
Seeing the prince's face turn red, Zhen Hao's heart sank; this pill was poisoned!
"Young Master, don't run away, your subordinate is coming to save you." Zhen Hao said, and was about to come in front of Young Master Zhen to help him take out the pill, but Young Master Zhen pushed him away.
Prince Zhen quickly picked up the tea on the table and gulped it down.
"Your Highness, was the elixir poisoned? How are you feeling now?"
Zhenhao stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Zhenhao, you've got some kind of poison!" Prince Zhen said after taking a breath.
"Your Highness, just now..."
"The pill is too big, it's stuck in my throat."
Zhenhao: ······
So when the prince reached out to him just now, it wasn't to ask for help, but because he was blocking him from taking the tea from the table?
Prince Zhen continued to lie on the soft couch, looking at his hands in confusion, wondering why there was no change at all.
"Your Highness, are you feeling alright?"
"No."
Perhaps sensing what the young master was thinking, Zhen Hao stepped forward to comfort him, "Young master, perhaps the elixir refined by the princess is not suitable for you..."
"But Your Highness need not worry, there will always be a way to lose weight."
Prince Zhen frowned. It wasn't suitable for him? But Xiao Jiu clearly said that this pill was suitable for him. This was strange.
Could it be that you should take both pills together?
A pill identical to the one he had just swallowed appeared in Prince Zhen's hand. Zhen Hao's lips twitched slightly. Could it be that the prince wanted to eat it again?
Prince Zhen trembled slightly as he recalled how difficult it was to swallow the pill earlier. "Never mind, I'll keep this one for now."
Zhenhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In the middle of the night, Zhenyuan, feeling unwell and sleepy, rushed to the outhouse without thinking.
After feeling comfortable, he vaguely crawled back into bed to sleep.
Early the next morning.
Zhenyuan wasn't woken up by noise, but by a stench.
"Zhenhao! Zhenhao!"
"What's that stinking thing outside?! Is it trying to suffocate me this early in the morning?"
Zhenhao appeared in the room in an instant. The stench that filled the room made him want to vomit. He glanced at Zhenyuan, who was lifting the covers and getting up, and suddenly forgot about vomiting.
The young master Zhen on the bed looked as if his life force had been sucked away by a demon; he had lost a lot of weight, and his bathrobe hung loosely on his body.
"Your Highness...you...you...you~"
It wasn't time to get up yet, and Prince Zhen was still a little sleepy. He half-closed his eyes and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
"Zhenhao, look what's stinking outside! What are you standing there for?"
"Your Highness, you stink...it smells like it's coming from you..."
Prince Zhen looked down and was instantly wide awake. What was going on? Why was he so dirty? And why were his clothes so big?
"Ugh... ugh..."
Before Prince Zhen could react, he quickly leaned against the wall and vomited. "Zhen Hao, what are you standing there for? Quickly, have someone turn on the water. I need to take a bath."
Zhenhao snapped out of his daze and quickly gave instructions to his servants.
——
A short while later, Zhenyuan walked out of the bathhouse in a daze, looking at his loose robes as if he were dreaming.
Xiao Jiu wasn't lying to him, he really had lost weight!
At that moment, he instantly understood why Xiao Jiu had told him not to take those pills outside yesterday. When he returned to his room, the servants had cleaned it spotless, and the original stench had disappeared.
The sudden appearance of Zhen Yuan startled Zhen Hao and his servants.
"Your Highness!"
Prince Zhen came up to Zhen Hao and pinched his face, causing Zhen Hao to let out a low growl of pain.
"So this wasn't a dream after all..."
"Your Highness, this is certainly not a dream. You've pinched my face until it's swollen." Zhen Hao cursed inwardly several times, then placed a mirror in front of Zhen Yuan.
Zhenyuan could clearly see what he looked like now. His originally round face had shrunk considerably. Zhenyuan was so happy that his eyebrows almost flew off. He really was a handsome man.
"You few, go up and take the young master's measurements, and quickly make him a few sets of clothes that fit him." As soon as Zhen Hao finished speaking, several servants surrounded Zhen Yuan, and they finished taking his measurements in no time.
Prince Zhen remembered the agreement he made with Wen Longting yesterday, and decided to go to the Wen residence to tell her the news.
Zhenhao quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Your Highness, your robes don't fit properly, it's probably not appropriate for you to go out like this."
Prince Zhen paused for a moment, seemingly finding the idea reasonable.
As the sun slowly rose, Princess Mingyang heard that Prince Zhen had cleaned out his room early in the morning and was going to make several suitable outfits, so she rushed over.
She had just instructed the servants to make him several sets of clothes a few days ago, so why can't he wear them now?
"Yuan'er, you're here so early in the morning..."
Princess Mingyang was so shocked when she saw Zhenyuan sitting in the courtyard eating fruit that her jaw dropped to the ground.
