Drunk Bamboo

"My Lord, how do you feel?"

Inside the carriage, Hua Qinfeng sat with his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, sweat pouring down his forehead. Xie Yuzhu saw that he seemed to be in great pain.

She sat not too far from him, not daring to get too close to investigate the situation, and not knowing how to help him, so she could only ask tentatively:

"Otherwise, why don't you take another detoxification pill?"

I have taken two detoxification pills.

Why is there no effect?

She was also very curious about the properties of this aphrodisiac poison. She had suppressed the poison when she took the first antidote pill, so why did it relapse?

Xie Yuzhu looked carefully at the expression on Hua Qinfeng's face and decided to write it down and study the antidote when he returned.

Or developing an aphrodisiac poison by the way is also very challenging.

Hua Qinfeng was trying hard to suppress the desire in his heart, but Xie Yuzhu kept challenging his limits. At this moment, except for being unable to see, all other organs in his body were extremely sensitive.

Her slight movement of moving closer and her breathing stimulated his body.

It made his blood boil and made it even more difficult for him to calm down.

Xie Yuzhu was unaware and seeing that he was silent, she kindly asked:

"Or maybe recite the Heart Purification Mantra again?"

Hua Qinfeng's brows furrowed even deeper, his expression painful.

Xie Yuzhu was puzzled:

"The aphrodisiac Xiao Bingxin has is quite powerful. I don't know where she bought it. This kind of medicine should not be available in ordinary pharmacies, right? Ordinary doctors would not prescribe it, right? She doesn't know anyone in Zhongdu, so she didn't bring it from Xilin, right?"

"I'm sure I'll find a lot of poisonous flowers and plants when I go to Xilin next time."

She kept on muttering, not noticing that the man in front of her was suffering from the torment of fire.

Hua Qinfeng suddenly opened his eyes.

Xie Yuzhu hurried forward to check on him and asked with concern, "My Lord, are you feeling better? Is there anything I can do for you?"

His face was cold, but his eyes were red, and his voice was low: "Xie Yuzhu, do you know what poison I was poisoned by?"

With a pair of clear eyes, he nodded naturally and said, "I know, aphrodisiac poison."

With his eyes suppressing lust, he raised his voice to warn: "Then do you know how dangerous it is to be with me at this moment?"

It seems that the detoxification pills are taking effect and he is speaking normally.

Xie Yuzhu relaxed and said with a smile: "If I wasn't with you, you would be in more danger, wouldn't you?"

Are you staying here to detoxify me?

Hua Qinfeng's eyes flickered.

"You..." He bit his back teeth tightly.

"If the prince can't bear it anymore, we can't just watch him die from the poison. I can detoxify him." Xie Yuzhu said kindly.

"Do you know what you are saying?" He clenched his fists, his five fingers deeply sunk into his palms, the pain keeping him somewhat awake.

"Your Highness, do you want to find a random woman to detoxify you?" Xie Yuzhu had no idea how hard it was for him to endure, but instead she smiled.

"Xie Yuzhu, you know so much. Who taught you all this?" He asked word by word, gritting his teeth.

The desire in his eyes could no longer be suppressed and seemed to be about to burst out.

"Men and women are just that..."

Before Xie Yuzhu could finish her words, her red lips were pressed tightly against hers.

Hua Qinfeng covered her from the back of her neck to her cheek with one hand, and with the other hand he held her waist close to his chest, making her sit on her knees, unable to move.

She didn't resist, she just froze.

Hot, moist, with the unique scent of Hua Qinfeng.

His kiss was overbearing at first, but when he saw that she didn't struggle or react, he was afraid of scaring her, so the kiss gradually became shallow and gentle.

Then, explore more deeply.

The big hand around the waist began to rub and caress, reaching into the smooth skin under the dress.

The hot palm burned Xie Yuzhu's body, causing her to suddenly startle, her eyes widened, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Noticing the person in his arms trembling with fear, Hua Qinfeng regained his senses in an instant. He stopped all aggressive actions, picked her up gently and placed her back in her original seat.

He panted, his voice hoarse: "Are you scared now?"

Xie Yuzhu seemed to have not woken up yet. She raised her head blankly, her face flushed, her lips red, and her eyes staring at him in surprise and ignorance.

The calm he had finally regained was reignited.

He closed his eyes and growled, "Get out!"

Xie Yuzhu finally came to her senses, covered her face with her hands, and rushed out shyly.

After returning to the palace, Hua Qinfeng went straight into the ear room and soaked his body in cold water.

After Xie Yuzhu washed up, she sat alone in the room for a while.

Thinking back to the close contact I had just had with Hua Qinfeng, it felt very strange, yet not that scary.

Since I have decided to go back to the west with him, I will have to do what a couple should do sooner or later.

He was poisoned today, and it would be harmful to his health if he continued to endure it.

Xie Yuzhu was mentally prepared, but Hua Qinfeng still didn't come out of the ear room.

So she knocked gently on the door of the ear room: "Your Majesty, it's cold at night. It's not good for your health to soak in cold water for a long time."

After a pause, he continued, "I'm ready. I'm not afraid anymore. Come out."

Hua Qinfeng in the room slowly raised his head and looked at Xie Yuzhu's figure behind the door for a long time. Only after she left did he slowly get up and put on his inner clothes.

When he arrived at the main room, Xie Yuzhu was already lying on the bed.

In the past, she also lay in bed like this, but tonight, for some reason, she didn't dare to get close to the bed.

He sat down at the table, with his back to the bed, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank two cups unconsciously.

At this time, Xie Yuzhu asked weakly: "My Lord, are you feeling better?"

"Xie Yuzhu, Xiao Bingxin has only seen Fifth Brother a few times, and the time they have spent together is also very limited, but she likes Fifth Brother so much, why? Is there really such a thing as love at first sight in the world?"

Hua Qinfeng put down the cup, still with his back to her, his tone deep and unusually calm.

Xie Yuzhu sat up and looked at his back, wondering what he was thinking.

"The world is so big and there are so many people. Of course there are people who fall in love at first sight, but whether you can be together for a lifetime or not, you still have to get along with each other in life to know. Love at first sight is just the beginning, and the matching of personality, habits and outlook on life is the long-term future."

Turning around, he asked seriously, "What about you, Xie Yuzhu, have you ever loved someone as much as Xiao Bingxin loves Fifth Brother?"

"What does it mean to truly like someone?" Xie Yuzhu thought for a while. She didn't believe in love at first sight. She believed more in long-lasting love.

He asked back, "Does Your Majesty think that expressing it directly like the Fourth Miss Xiao means love? Is it love that she disobeyed her father's orders? Is it love that she schemed for a man like she did?"

Hua Qinfeng was stunned by the question and was not sure: "She said she likes it, so of course she likes it."

Xie Yuzhu said calmly, "How long can her love last? A lifetime is long, but she can say it's a lifetime so easily. I can't do it, and I don't dare to make such a promise easily."

Hua Qinfeng stared at her face, not missing any subtle expressions.

"You mean there's no one you like that?"
