On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 796: Don’t Touch Her
Leng Yu Yan’s nostrils twitched; she hastily cautioned, "Don’t eat!"
But it was already too late.
"What’s wrong?"
Ye Jiu, Lian Yan, and Miao Zhu, each holding half of the leftover pastry, looked at her baffled altogether.
"There’s something in here..."
Before Leng Yu Yan could finish speaking, Ye Jiu had slumped over onto the table, while Lian Yan and Miao Zhu standing nearby flopped to the ground one after another.
The pastry was laced with a sedative, disguised as an ordinary pastry, and its scent eluded her nose.
It wasn’t until they bit into the pastry that she caught the odd smell.
But by then, the three of them had already eaten half a pastry each.
The sedative wasn’t in the tea but wrapped within the pastry itself, which meant the visitor knew about her keen sense of smell.
As expected, only moments later, the door to the private room was pushed open.
"Should I call you Ah Yan, or should I call you Pavilion Master?"
Ji Qingyu appeared, looking composed.
Leng Yu Yan offered a cold smile—was he confirming her identity as the Linqing Pavilion Master last night, only to come and blackmail her today?
Just now, when she dismounted the horse carriage, she had made sure that the teahouse wasn’t owned by Ji Qingyu before feeling reassured to enter with Ye Jiu.
It was only at this moment that she remembered that even the Zuixian Building, which hadn’t originally belonged to him, had been acquired by him; he likely did the same with other teahouses.
Ji Qingyu entered and sat down, his smile warm. "The blind man didn’t choose any other woman; he had to have you. Now I understand why he married you—because of your status as the Linqing Pavilion Master. As long as you’re beside him, his blindness and frailty can be cured."
"What exactly do you want to say, and what is your purpose? Just speak frankly!" Leng Yu Yan said expressionlessly.
Seeing her mimic the blind man’s cold demeanor to such a degree irritated Ji Qingyu even more.
He appropriated the teacup that was in front of Leng Yu Yan and poured himself a cup of tea.
As the tea poured, he didn’t rush to drink. He just slowly swirled the cup, then held it up to the light, carefully examining it as if checking for any traces of use around the rim.
Leng Yu Yan furrowed her brows with a snort, "I haven’t used that teacup, Commandery Prince, you may do as you wish."
Ji Qingyu’s smile didn’t waver—he didn’t mind using a cup she had touched.
"The Emperor is seeking the Divine Doctor. If the Emperor discovers the Divine Doctor is in the Eastern Palace, do you have any clue what the consequences would be?"
After asking, he leisurely drank his tea, gently placing the cup back on the table.
"I don’t know. Perhaps the Commandery Prince could enlighten me," Leng Yu Yan said with a cold laugh.
Her hand, hidden beneath the table, shook Ye Jiu’s thigh vigorously, but no matter what she did, Ye Jiu wouldn’t wake up, indicating that the half pastry contained an ample dose of the sedative.
"If the Elixir of Immortality can’t be produced, both the Prince Zhenbei Mansion and the Eastern Palace will be eradicated," Ji Qingyu’s smile grew even more gentle. "Your identity—I need but mention it to the Uncle Emperor, and it’s settled. Oh, and you might say I have no evidence to prove you are the Divine Doctor, but you should know that the Uncle Emperor is very suspicious. Once he suspects you are the Divine Doctor, do you think the Eastern Palace and Prince Zhenbei Mansion will meet a good end? Keeping the identity of the Divine Doctor a secret alone is something that greatly displeases him!"
Leng Yu Yan lightly laughed, "Could it be that you wish for me to ask you what you want in exchange for keeping my secret? Ji Qingyu, if you want to say it, go ahead and say it."
She refused to ask.
"Ah Yan, why don’t you beg me?"
Ji Qingyu’s smile faded slightly as a hint of bitterness spread within him.
"Why should I beg you?" Leng Yu Yan retorted.
Had she not peeked out the window just earlier, she might have eaten the pastry herself. Even if she managed to spit it out in time, some of the sedative would have still entered her body.
Ji Qingyu intended to drug her unconscious!
With this thought, she quickly twisted her wrist and launched a palm strike towards Ji Qingyu’s face.
Ji Qingyu, along with the chair he was sitting on, tumbled backward repeatedly.
Leng Yu Yan stood up and pushed at Ye Jiu’s shoulder with force, "Sister-in-law, wake up!"
"You can’t wake her," Ji Qingyu suddenly laughed again.
Leng Yu Yan was furious to the extreme, her delicate hands grasping dishes and plates on the table and hurling them at Ji Qingyu.
Ji Qingyu kept dodging left and right, avoiding the swiftly thrown dishes, only defending and not attacking.
At that moment, Qing Ge appeared, tossing a scented handkerchief in front of Leng Yu Yan.
A rose-red handkerchief unfolded in mid-air and fluttered down, immediately releasing a powdered substance.
Leng Yu Yan quickly covered her mouth and nose, but her body already began to sway unsteadily.
"Sedatives, aphrodisiacs, haha, Ji Qingyu, have you even learned such despicable means?"
She bit down hard on her lip, and in the next breath, she still fell into unconsciousness.
Seeing this, Ji Qingyu’s handsome eyebrows flicked with an imperceptible concern. He asked Qing Ge, "Did you add an aphrodisiac to the drugs?"
He wanted to knock Ah Yan out for real. Did he really have to resort to using aphrodisiacs to have her?
Qing Ge laughed and said, "Commandery Prince, rest assured, she’s fine." With that, she crouched down to take a close look at Leng Yu Yan on the ground.
The woman before her was stunningly gorgeous, with a unique charm.
Truly worthy of being the woman Prince Qing took fancy to—look at her creamy skin, like sculpted jade, her frosty jade-like physique made her envious with jealousy.
And observing her figure, even as she lay collapsed on the ground, her body was graceful with exquisite curves.
Such an extreme beauty was what every man dreamed of possessing.
Qing Ge couldn’t help but reach out to touch Leng Yu Yan’s face, but was stopped by Ji Qingyu’s reprimand, "Don’t touch her!" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Upon hearing this, Qing Ge’s expression stiffened, "Does the Commandery Prince find this servant dirty?"
Ji Qingyu gave a faint smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "Qing Ge, she’s different from you. You should understand!"
Qing Ge gave a bitter laugh, "Indeed, the Crown Princess Consort is pure as ice and jade. How could this servant compare to her?"
Ji Qingyu remained silent and simply clapped his hands. Immediately, two old maids appeared in the private room.
"My lord, where to?" one of the old maids asked.
Ji Qingyu’s expression was very calm, "To the pleasure boat."
--
Leng Yu Yan’s mind was hazy as she awoke and found herself aboard a boat.
To be precise, she was on a flower painting boat.
The painting boat was moving at a considerable speed, causing her to suffer from seasickness.
Furthermore, the mix of the sedatives and aphrodisiac inhaled earlier made her feel as if she was in dire straits.
In a dazed state, she heard footsteps approaching the room.
The footsteps had a light and heavy pattern, suggesting that two people were coming.
Indeed, not long after, two people entered.
One was a woman with an overpowering fragrance, and the other, needless to say, was Ji Qingyu.
Qing Ge, looking at Leng Yu Yan sprawled out on the bed, said to Ji Qingyu, "Isn’t the Commandery Prince wanting her? Once you have her body, she will belong to the Commandery Prince."
What would be the outcome if the pure and noble Crown Princess Consort was deflowered by Prince Qing?
Such high and mighty ladies, once they lose their virtue, tend to not linger in this world.
In this way, Prince Qing would still return to her side.
Ji Qingyu laughed upon hearing this, "If only it were that simple."
He wanted not just Ah Yan’s body but also her heart!
Qing Ge thought Ji Qingyu was hesitant to sleep with the Crown Princess Consort and so said, "The aphrodisiac I placed in the scented handkerchief, once a woman is affected by such a drug, even if she has a fiery temperament, she will willingly allow a man to mount her."
Ji Qingyu said nothing and walked closer to the bed, then slowly bent over.
Feeling a shadow enveloping her, Leng Yu Yan struggled to get up and push him away, only to find that she couldn’t take two steps before collapsing on the ground again.
