Min Yu did not do anything at all, let alone slipped drug to Wang Ye. She only said that she had ordered a little incense to induce desire in the room, but she refused to open her mouth about the rest even though she was threatened.
By Min Yu’s mannerism, she did not seem to be lying. Considering Xiao QingYan’s explanation before, Xu ChangAn did not doubt Min Yu, but asked people to take her out and shut her in the firewood shed until Wangye woke up.
Xiao QingYan had not wake up, and several imperial physicians could not help either. After a moment, Xiao QingYu also came over; he even thrown his anger towards the several imperial physicians in the room. When it was late into the night, Xiao QingYue had to go back to the palace. Only Xu ChangAn and Xiao QingYu were left with Xiao QingYan.
“Your Highness, it’s late. You should go have an early rest. I’ll keep watch of Wangye here.” Although Xiao QingYan had not woken up yet, the temperature on his body had dropped a lot. Maybe he really would wake up after sleeping, as the imperial physician had said.
Xiao QingYu’s face had been bad, and now it was really late. He was ready to leave, but not to rest as Xu ChangAn suggested, but to let someone take him to Min Yu.
Nan Xi offended Princess QingYue today. After being beaten, the people dared not call a physician to treat her. Instead, they sent her back to Tongxin Garden. Xiao QingYu went to the firewood shed where Min Yu was kept, and then he thought about who his imperial elder sister seemed to be angry with today. He wanted to see who that person was, which dared to talk back to the princess. Therefore, he went to Tongxin Garden instead. Xu ChangAn stayed with Xiao QingYan all night until the next day. When sky was getting lighter, he felt so sleepy that he directly leaned on the bed, and lost his consciousness after a while.
When Xiao QingYan woke up, besides Xu ChangAn, who was lying beside him, there was no one around. Yesterday’s event was unexpected. From that day when Nan Xi suddenly mentioned Min Yu to him, he thought about what arrangement the two people could have, but he did not think it would be such an arrangement!
Humph! Did those two women took him as an animal without reason as long as he went into heat?!
However… Yesterday, he did not seem to be suffering from whatever obscene drug; his whole body was burning hot but then why would lose strength? Moreover, he hardly had any desire…
Unable to understand the reason, Xiao QingYan did not think much about it. Instead, he reached out and touched the person beside him.
“Your Highness, you are awake?” Although Xu ChangAn slept on the bed, he did not sleep soundly. When he felt someone touched his head, he woke up immediately.
Sure enough, when he opened his eyes, he saw that Xiao QingYan was awake.
“How is it? Are you feeling discomfort anywhere?" Still blurred eyes, but Xu ChangAn quickly asked, if Xiao QingYan felt no discomfort, it should be alright.
“It’s all right.” Xiao QingYan was indeed feeling more comfortable. Now he had no other feeling except that he felt a little tired.
“That’s good, that’s good!” Hearing Xiao QingYan said he was alright, Xu ChangAn looked at him and saw he was really alright except a little tired on his face. He finally felt relieved and began to talk slowly about yesterday’s event with him.
“QingYue hit her?”
“… En." Xu ChangAn was not sure what Xiao QingYan thought about that Nan Xi, so his heart was troubled. Xiao QingYan could not do anything about Princess QingYue, but he was different. He was present yesterday. If Xiao QingYan wanted to vent his anger on somebody, he was not indispensable.
Xiao QingYan had no idea that QingYue had done something like that yesterday. At once he felt very happy, but he felt a little irritated when he thought about the things to be solved later. If he had to suffer and lose face every time he comforted Nan Xi, he did not know whether it was worth it or not.
After a night of suffering, Xiao QingYan’s face did not look good. Now, with some worries in his heart, his face immediately sank. Xu ChangAn did not know what Xiao QingYan thought about. He only thought that Xiao QingYan was angry because of his words just then. He immediately did not know how to open his mouth.
Looking at Xu ChangAn burying his head, Xiao QingYan thought that he was tired too, so he let the person go back to rest first. He was all right here.
“Wangye, last night I let them rest in the residence. I'll send someone to call them here.”
“Go back and have a good rest.” Seeing that his face looked tired and his entire body looked very exhausted, Xiao QingYan thought perhaps he didn’t have a rest last night.
As soon as Xu ChangAn went out, Zhu Quan came in and watched over him. Not long after the skilled imperial physician also came. After taking Xiao QingYan’s pulse and asking him about his physical condition, the imperial physician indicated that Xiao Qingyan was all right. Yesterday’s incident was a false alarm.
“The drug in Wangye’s body may be really just some ordinary aphrodisiac drug, but the reaction varies from person to person. Maybe it’s because Wangye’s constitution is special which excessively repelled that drug that you had such strange reaction. Wangye is all right now, as long as you have a good rest for two days."
“Wang understood. Need to trouble you after returning to the palace, to report back to Imperial Father about the cause of Wang's matter yesterday.”
“Yes, this minister will faithfully inform His Majesty.” Min Family… perhaps it was over for them.
Xiao QingYue did not leave until dark yesterday, but came back early this morning. When she arrived at Xian Wang Residence, Xu ChangAn had returned to his courtyard and Xiao QingYu was still sleeping. There was only Zhu Quan and several followers accompanying Xiao QingYan.
Seeing that there was no one beside Xiao QingYan, Xiao QingYue’s face immediately turned black. Xu ChangAn was her imperial sister-in-law, she could not scold him, so Xiao QingYu, who was a few days younger than her, was her point of attack.
“He's already a grown-up, but don't know what his use is?! Usually all he know is to eat, drink and have fun. Now you’re sick but he actually can sleep soundly in other's place! Imperial elder brother, it's lucky that you love him so dearly! Really blindly love him!” Xiao QingYue really looked down on Xiao QingYu; her big brother could lead the army to war, and imperial elder brother excelled in civil and martial arts, but that Xiao QingYu, other than corrupting the reputation of the Imperial House, he could do nothing!
“Enough, what are you angry about? Last night your imperial sister-in-law accompanied me all the time. He stayed up all night before I woke up and I let him go back to make up for his sleep. As for QingYu, he is the same person. Besides, he went to bed very late last night." Xiao QingYan was very satisfied with his brothers and sister. Apart from Xiao Qingnian, who he never got along with since childhood, the other brothers and sister were no different from those of normal family.
“By the way, imperial elder brother, can you guess what I picked up from your concubine’s hand yesterday? Do you know her origin? That woman’s identity is not simple!” Xiao QingYue did not give the wooden box she picked up from Nan Xi yesterday to the imperial physician, nor did she mention it to Xu ChangAn. She took it directly and planned to speak to her imperial elder brother in person today.
Xiao QingYue’s face was full of seriousness, but Xiao QingYan was only shocked. How could QingYue know these things? Who did she make friends with in the past few years?
“What did you see?”
“Look, imperial elder brother, this is what I picked up from her yesterday. I guess that’s what she rushed over for and not hesitated to offend imperial sister-in-law just to give you eat something, it should be this thing. Humph! What a bold person! They actually planned a good scheme!”
Xiao QingYue opened a wooden box, which contained a red pill. The color of a pill was usually black and brown. Looking at this beautiful and weird thing in front of him, Xiao QingYan’s face was full of curiosity. What is this? QingYue seemed to know, how did she knows?
“Imperial elder brother, you mustn’t eat this thing. Fortunately, I came here yesterday. Otherwise, if the woman let you eat this thing, the consequences would be unthinkable!” Looking at that woman’s attitude yesterday, Xiao QingYue knew that she must be used to arrogance in Wang Residence. She dared to talk like that to Wangfei. It was obvious that she did not always take Wangfei seriously. Xiao QingYue was a little angry when thinking of the woman’s attitude towards her imperial sister-in-law. When she herself was together with her imperial sister-in-law, she could only act honestly and sincerely. For which reason did that woman dare to be pretentious in front of her imperial sister-in-law?
“Imperial elder brother, how could you be like this?! Let’s not talk about that woman’s identity. Even if she’s just an ordinary person and you doted on her more, you can’t let her cross over imperial sister-in-law! Do you know how arrogant she was in front of imperial sister-in-law yesterday?! I’m so angry that imperial sister-in-law might feel sad in his heart!" When she said these words, Xiao QingYue not only sounded louder, her breathing also sped up; she obviously was really angry. Xiao QingYan actually laughed, looking at Xiao QingYue with that appearance.
“Hah, sigh, I knew. You can rest assured; I won’t let your sister-in-law suffer.” Looking at the way Xiao QingYue vented, Xiao QingYan wondered; she was already grown up, how could she still be like a child? Regardless of what happen, she dug her heels in so long as she liked the person, she felt right even if the person had done something wrong.
What was more, it was certainly Nan Xi, who forgot her place yesterday; of course she should have been angry.
“What are you laughing at? You can’t even protect your own people well, and still laugh at me!" Although she had not seen imperial elder brother get along with that Nan Xi, Xiao QingYue could be sure that Nan Xi was certainly not important in his heart; otherwise why didn't imperial elder brother take that woman to see her, when that woman seemed to have been in the residence for quite a long time?
Moreover, at that time when she just met imperial sister-in-law, imperial elder brother was certainly defended imperial sister-in-law!
“I know. I’ll take good care of my people, alright?” At this time, Xiao QingYan was happy to know that Nan Xi had suffered a great loss by her hand yesterday.
“That's right, imperial elder brother! Indeed you can’t eat this thing, but you can give it to imperial sister-in-law. This thing is for him… helpful.”
“I can’t eat it, but your imperial sister-in-law can? What on earth is this?" Looking at the girl with a snicker on her face, Xiao QingYan was really confused. If this was a medicine to raise one's health, then why could not he eat it himself?
“Good thing! This thing is precious, imperial elder brother. Don’t waste it.”
“I understand.” Xiao QingYan did not ask Xiao QingYue why she knew so many things; he thought that this should be what she had encountered outside for many years. She did not say and he would not ask, after all she would not harm him.
