Perhaps it was because Gu Qingcang had saved her life just now, Yueli really could not leave just like that. Fortunately, the carriage had arrived at this time. It was Ge Ping, the official of Prince Zhongxin's residence. When he saw Gu Qingcang's shocked expression, he quickly helped him into the carriage.
However, Gu Qingcang grabbed Yueli's hand. Yueli had no choice but to get into the car with Ge Ping's shocked gaze.
The carriage sped along and soon arrived at the Zhongxin Prince's mansion.
Prince Zhongxin's residence was located closest to the Imperial City. Every inch of land here was worth an inch of gold. Yueli looked at the residence of Prince Zhongxin's residence and instantly felt that the Shen family's courtyard was not worth mentioning when compared to it.
She had no time to admire the scenery in the manor because Gu Qingcang was already showing signs of being half-conscious.
After sending her all the way to Gu Qingcang's bedroom, Yueli frowned and instructed Ge Ping without even raising her head," Find a set of silver needles, a basin of warm water, a pot of strong wine, and prepare more clean bandages.”
Ge Ping looked at the unfamiliar man who was giving him such orders without showing any signs of concern, and his eyes turned to his own prince. His Highness, who had always been cold and distant, nodded." I'll listen to him."”
Ge Ping didn't dare to question it anymore and quickly turned around to prepare.
There were indeed some good medicinal herbs in Yueli's space, but they did not dare to come out and expose it now. They could only wait for the medicinal herbs upstairs to be sent over before mixing them in. Only then would they not be discovered by others.
Gu Qingcang forced himself to stay conscious. He grabbed Yueli's hand, his eyes still sharp as he stared at her." You know how to use poison? How did you learn it?"”
Yue Li was stunned by Gu Qingcang's question. Her heart thumped, but she said nonchalantly,""Your Highness is really talkative. Do I have to report everything I do to you?”
Gu Qingcang choked and his face turned black." You're my future consort. Of course, I have to ask you properly." After all, my princess consort has always had a weak and incompetent reputation outside, but now it seems that the rumors are wrong.”
"His Highness doesn't like this marriage, and I don't like this marriage either. Why must two people who don't like each other be tied together? Why don't we call off our engagement? After all, I saved your life today.”
"Who dares to defy the imperial edict?"
"Wangye's words can still be used to scare a child. Everyone in the world knows that the emperor has always trusted Wangye. If you insist on breaking off the engagement, can the emperor still force it?”
"Do you dislike this marriage that much?”
"This little daughter is lacking in talent and knowledge, she really isn't worthy of wangye.”
"As long as This King likes it."
What was the meaning of this?
Yueli was just about to open her mouth to ask when Ge Ping and Lou Shanglou came in almost at the same time.
A row of servant girls placed the things that Yueli wanted properly. Ge Ping waved his hand to dismiss them, and then he heard Lou Shanglou say,""The medicine is here."
"Go and boil the medicine immediately. Add three bowls of water and boil it to half a bowl.”As Yueli spoke, she went over to look through the medicinal herbs that she had caught. When her back was facing everyone, she mixed in the medicinal herbs that she had prepared in her space.
Ge Ping was obviously very familiar with Lou Shanglou. Lou Shanglou gave him the medicine and he hurried over.
Before he left, he glanced at his highness. He was obviously worried. This unfamiliar man always made him feel uneasy.
"Ge Ping, go ahead. Leave this to me. Feng Xi was a great expert in poison, so the poison in wangye was all dependent on him.”Lou Shanglou waved her hand and chased him out.
Yueli had already taken out her silver needles and did not even raise her head. She did not refute Lou Loulou's words and only opened her mouth to say,""No one is allowed to disturb me when I am performing the acupuncture. Otherwise, if I am disturbed, I will not be responsible if anything happens to your prince.”
Ge Ping was so scared that his face turned pale. He quickly went out to give instructions.
Lou Shanglou looked at Yueli fiddling with the silver needles in a familiar manner and could not help but ask in her heart,""You know how to treat illnesses?"
"Medicine and poison are inseparable. Don't you know this?”
"Tsk, I know that some people can only detoxify their own poison, but others can't. Your medical skills seem to be very impressive. May I ask which sect you are from?”
Yueli raised her head and glanced at Lou Shanglou. Her face was tensed up, and there was an obvious look of displeasure on her face." The rules of the martial arts world are to save people without asking where they came from. Young Master Lou, have you forgotten?”
"Hehe, I'm just curious. I'm just asking casually.”
"Curiosity killed the cat. People who are too curious often die early.”
Upstairs was speechless.
Gu Qingcang was speechless.
Was he being threatened? Lou Shanglou really felt that this was a novel experience. He had never been threatened like this before.
"Fengxi, we're fated to know each other, why are we so distant, don't you think?”
"You owe me ten thousand five hundred taels.”
"You said that you are not ordinary. You keep talking about money.”More than ten thousand taels of silver, his heart was bleeding.
Yueli did not bother with the person upstairs, trying her best to ignore Gu Qingcang's sharp eyes that were sizing her up. He inserted needles into several of his major acupoints and said calmly,"The poison in you is extremely vicious. Even after the antidote is removed, you will still feel weak and uncomfortable for a few days. No alcohol, no spicy food, no sex."
Gu Qingcang raised his brows and looked at Yueli. Suddenly, he revealed a faint smile and said meaningfully,""Don't worry, this king isn't someone who doesn't care about meat or vegetables.”
These words could not help but remind people of Lu Chanzhuang's words. Yueli felt that Gu Qingcang's words had a deeper meaning.
"Fengxi, you've misunderstood our wangye. There is no one more chaste than His Highness in this region. Ever since I followed him, I've never seen a woman by his side.”Lou Shanglou patted her chest and said.
"Oh? Was that so? Then why did His Highness go to the Falling Jade Pavilion today? Didn't Young Master Lou say that the Falling Jade Pavilion was a place for fireworks?”Yue Li sneered.
Lou Shanglou scratched her head and said,""Then there's something else." Speaking of the Falling Jade Pavilion, his expression changed. He looked at Gu Qingcang and blurted out,""Your highness, the Falling Jade Pavilion has been completely destroyed. I'm afraid that Falling Jade will be angered to death.”
Falling Jade?
Yueli's eyes turned, and she looked at Gu Qingcang with a smile that was not a smile." Is Your Highness hiding a mistress in a golden house?”
Gu Qingcang pursed his lips tightly and looked at Yueli. He ignored Lou Shanglou and only carefully observed Yueli's expression." Are you unhappy?”
Upstairs looked at Gu Qingcang in confusion. Why was Feng Xi unhappy? What did this have to do with him? Could it be that Lu Chanzhuang was right, that His Highness really liked Feng Xi? That's not right. This is the first time these two have met, right?
Why did he have a strange feeling that there seemed to be something going on between the two of them?
At the thought of this, he felt embarrassed. He must have thought wrong.
Yueli ignored him. Her forehead was covered in sweat, and only after she was done with the acupuncture did she heave a sigh of relief. Then, she looked at Gu Qingcang and wiped her sweat with a handkerchief as she said,"Your Highness should carefully consider my previous suggestion.”
Gu Qingcang frowned even more. Was she so eager to cut ties with him and break off the engagement?#
