The prince loves me like his life, but I force him to rebel

Gu Nianzhi tied up the horse and just came out of the stable when he ran into Sima Yao.

"Where did Brother Gu go today?"

Sima Yao called Gu Nianzhi "Mr. Gu" most of the time, but now he suddenly changed the address to "Brother Gu", which made Gu Nianzhi feel a little uncomfortable.

"I'm going to work for the palace. I think it will be very busy recently..."

Sima Yao did not expose Gu Nianzhi's lies, but just bit his lip, as if trying to restrain his dissatisfaction.

"I have been waiting for Mr. Gu..."

"What are you waiting for me for?"

"I want to explain what happened yesterday to Mr. Gu."

Gu Nianzhi suddenly felt her face getting hot.

She said in a panic: "Yesterday? Nothing happened yesterday..."

"Brother Gu, come with me."

Sima Yao didn't say anything, grabbed Gu Nianzhi's wrist and took her into the study.

On the table in the study, there was a spread of Chinese medicine that Gu Nianzhi had brought back yesterday.

"Yesterday, both of us... were not feeling right, something... strange. After breakfast today, I thought about it again and again, and I felt that there might be something wrong with the herbs I took yesterday."

Sima Yao used his hands to push aside the Chinese medicine in front of him and pointed at the medicinal ingredients inside.

"Originally, I used blood-replenishing herbs such as angelica and astragalus, but the medicine package we took together yesterday was full of..."

Sima Yao looked at Gu Nianzhi and seemed a little embarrassed to say it out loud.

"What is it all? Tell me."

"They are all aphrodisiacs, epimedium, deer antlers, etc. These are medicinal herbs that can enhance sexual function and help pregnancy."

Gu Nianzhi was shocked and picked at the medicine in front of him with his hands. These herbs were indeed different from the ones in the previous prescription he remembered.

"How is this possible? The doctor said that he only adjusted the weight of each medicine and changed two herbs. How could they all become aphrodisiacs?"

Oh no, did the Third Prince think I did it on purpose?

Gu Nianzhi turned around and looked at the Third Prince. His expression was very calm and he didn't seem angry.

"Third Prince, I can explain. Although I don't know where the problem lies, the herbs I went to get are indeed for replenishing your blood..."

"How could I possibly doubt you? After breakfast today, I sent someone to Tongjitang to ask clearly. The medicine you brought back was indeed prescribed by their doctor yesterday. However, the patients at that time were a couple who had been married for a long time but were infertile. The male owner of the family had some...disorders and needed these medicines to assist..."

"You mean I took the wrong medicine? But I took the medicine according to the license plate, so it shouldn't be wrong!"

"The doctor dealt out two number six cards by mistake yesterday. That must be the problem."

Gu Nianzhi thought about it carefully and finally understood.

"No wonder when I picked up the medicine, the counter clerk asked me if I could lift something after taking the medicine last time... It turns out that he didn't ask me if I could lift heavy objects after taking the medicine, but that was the meaning... But you know what, this medicine really works..."

Sima Yao was so embarrassed that he tapped his toes on the ground and his face turned red.

Gu Nianzhi didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.

"You, you couldn't even tell whether I was a man or a woman last night. You almost scared me to death."

Gu Nianzhi knew that the more nonchalant she acted at the moment, the less awkward it would be for the two of them in the future.

Even though she was embarrassed, she still pretended to be nonchalant and made fun of it.

"How did you deal with it after you scared me away last night?"

Sima Yao coughed a few times but did not answer.

"Is it a cold shower? Or..."

Sima Yao sighed lightly and walked forward on his own.

Gu Nianzhi followed behind him and deliberately emphasized: "We are all men, there is nothing wrong with talking..."

Sima Yao suddenly stopped and turned around.

Gu Nianzhi couldn't hold back and crashed directly into Sima Yao's arms.

She took a step back and looked up at Sima Yao.

Sima Yao's face was like a statue, his body was motionless, but there was an indescribable thing flashing in his eyes.

"The medicine I took yesterday might make me promiscuous, but the words I said to you yesterday..."

Sima Yao paused. He just stared into Gu Nianzhi's eyes, with something in his mind that he couldn't speak.

Gu Nianzhi actually saw a kind of... tenderness in Sima Yao's eyes?

She quickly averted her gaze.

"I know that what I said yesterday was nothing more than the effect of the drug. Don't worry, I won't take it to heart."

After saying that, he waved his hand in a nonchalant manner and walked towards his room.

Sima Yao stood there alone, looking at Gu Nianzhi's departing back.

I felt disappointed, but also a little relieved.

If he knew that his distracted feelings last night were caused by taking the wrong medicine, he would have felt relieved. After all, he was just a normal man who was tempted by a man because he could not control himself for a moment under the effect of the drug. But when he saw Gu Nianzhi tonight, he realized that last night's confusion was not as simple as the effect of the drug.

It turns out that the words that came out of my mouth under the influence of drugs were actually my true feelings.

I, Sima Yao, actually really like Mr. Gu.

Sima Yao felt a little sad for no reason.

Mr. Gu loves a woman, and my admiration and abnormal love for him will only be a burden to him.

Since Mr. Gu was so careless that he didn't notice it, that's a good thing.

Sima Yao had never been so conflicted.

-----

Gu Nianzhi returned to the room and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she had little experience in love, she intuitively felt that there was something wrong with Sima Yao's eyes just now.

Even though modern society has become more open-minded and same-sex love is no longer considered a scourge,...

If I were really a man, I could try to accept it, but the problem was that Sima Yao developed feelings for me because he loved men, but in fact, I was a woman!

Although it was not my subjective intention to take the wrong medicine, the absurd desire I felt last night was indeed caused by taking the wrong medicine...

Gu Nianzhi's mind was a little confused. She tossed and turned in bed. Suddenly, she thought of something and sat up suddenly.

"If Sima Yao really has feelings for me, no matter if he likes men or women, it shouldn't be a problem for me to ask him for a hairpin, right?"

"My biggest goal now is to quickly go back to reality. As long as I can get the hairpin, I can work like a slave. What's wrong with pretending to be a man and having a relationship with him?"

Once his mind was opened, Gu Nianzhi suddenly felt that life was full of hope.

She had just reminded herself that she must keep her distance from Sima Yao in the future, but this new idea made her completely change her mind in an instant.

However, as a woman, I have no experience in love. Now I have to pretend to be a man and fall in love with another man. This seems a bit difficult...
