Ji Fengyao followed closely behind Wu Shang, wondering, "The prince has poison-absorbing stones on him. Normally, poisons shouldn't be able to harm him. How did he get poisoned, and what are his symptoms now?"
"It was the Emperor. The Emperor wanted to send several women from the Gaoqi Kingdom to the Prince, but the Prince refused. So they resorted to despicable means, trying to force the Prince to submit." Wu Shang was furious, yet somewhat reluctant to speak: "The Prince is currently in great pain..."
Ji Fengyao was slightly taken aback, feeling very uncomfortable.
What does "feeling very uncomfortable" mean?
Suddenly remembering that he had whispered in her ear the day before yesterday that he was feeling unwell, Ji Fengyao's face flushed red instantly.
But now she's a doctor, and people come to her to "treat" their illnesses.
Be professional!
Ji Fengyao composed herself and said nonchalantly, "I thought Your Highness had been poisoned, but it turns out it was just that stuff. Your Highness, you've already taken in five or six women before, what's a few more? Will the Prince's manor lack a few more mouths to feed?"
Wu Shang glanced at Ji Fengyao, whose speed had already caught up with his, and said, "Your Highness, you are truly magnanimous and understanding."
"What's the big deal? You should have acted decisively and found some beautiful palace maids for the prince. Wouldn't the poison have been cured without any medicine?" Ji Fengyao said righteously.
Wu Shang looked down at his hand, which she was pulling forward with: "..."
Your Highness, why don't you slow down a bit?
Wuying rushed to the lakeside again, her heart filled with anxiety. She saw a small boat speeding towards her on the lake and was overjoyed: "Your Highness, is Your Highness back?"
Ji Fengyao forcibly withdrew her gaze, which seemed to yearn to go boating, and said calmly, "Look at you all, it's not some deadly poison, what's the panic?"
Wu Shang glanced again at her feet, which were now standing on the tip of the bow: "..."
Silently to herself: Your Highness, the ship hasn't reached the shore yet, please be careful not to fall into the water.
"Your Highness, it's good that you're back. The Prince has been soaking in ice water and is almost freezing." Wu Ying was the one who had been with Shang Xiye the whole time and knew his condition best, so she was the most anxious.
Upon hearing that he had used ice, Ji Fengyao's expression changed: "Nonsense! He still has the poison from the Frost Talisman on his body. How can you use ice to cool him down? What if it triggers the poison's outbreak? Are you courting death!"
Upon hearing her words, Wuying and Wushang dared not delay any longer, and all three of them rushed back at full speed.
Upon reaching the vicinity of the sleeping quarters, Wu Shang and Wu Ying both stopped and hesitated for a moment.
After all, the prince was poisoned with that kind of poison.
just in case……
Is it inconvenient for them to go in?
The two exchanged a glance and tacitly decided to wait for the summons instead of immediately following them inside.
Ji Fengyao was so preoccupied with whether Shang Xiye's poison had been triggered that she didn't notice the two people behind her suddenly stopped following.
She rushed into Shang Xiye's bedroom like a gust of wind, only to find Chu Ling standing beside him, while Shang Xiye's wet clothes lay scattered on the floor.
Chu Ling was truly beautiful; she possessed the kind of beauty that would amaze anyone who saw her, regardless of gender.
Seeing Ji Fengyao barge in, Chu Ling not only didn't panic or try to hide, but instead leaned down next to Shang Xiye and gave her a provocative smile.
That smile seemed to say, "You're too late, the prince is already mine."
Ji Fengyao's heart clenched as if she had been stabbed. She blurted out instinctively, "I'm sorry to bother you. I didn't know you were already... I'll leave right away."
