Nian Susu remained noncommittal, "My words feel like a knife stabbing my throat."

"Then you should say less." Xiao Yunzheng felt sorry for her and pulled her to sit down next to the small coffee table.

There was a bowl of steaming medicine on the table. It looked like it had just been served. Nian Susu was puzzled: "Are you sick?"

"No." Xiao Yunzheng poured herself a cup of tea and pushed the medicine in front of her. "My throat is just a little itchy these two days, it's nothing serious. Your condition is more serious, you drink it."

Nian Susu remembered that Xia Ji had mentioned to her during the day that many people in the camp had sore throats recently. It seemed that Xiao Yunzheng had also gone to the pharmacy to get medicine.

"Oh, by the way, this is a throat soothing drink, just right for you," Xiao Yunzheng added.

She doesn't understand medical principles, but Nian Susu does. I think if the medicine is not suitable for the disease, Nian Susu will not drink it.

Nian Susu's throat was indeed uncomfortable. She had already taken some medicine today, but summer came out of nowhere. She had been busy since noon until now and had not had a sip of water. Her throat was almost smoking.

She didn't refuse and drank the medicine in one gulp with a smile.

After drinking it, her taste buds sensed something was wrong. She frowned, put the bowl down, looked at Xiao Yunzheng seriously, and asked, "Who prescribed this medicine for you?"

There was still some residual medicine in the bowl. She smelled it, but didn't smell anything wrong. This was because there were too many types of medicine and more than a dozen smells mixed together, which inevitably covered up the other smells.

Xiao Yunzheng hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet. "It's that young man named Dong Qing. He's Li Huairen's apprentice, right?"

She smiled and said, "He is so thoughtful. I just mentioned that my throat was a little itchy that day, and he actually remembered it and sent me some medicine today."

"Dongqing..." Nian Susu felt relieved. Although Dongqing's business ability was average and his temper was soft, he was still a good person. Just like Xiao Yunzheng just mentioned it casually, he took it to heart and specially sent medicine over.

Nian Susu comforted herself, thinking that perhaps she was overthinking it. After all, it was understandable that mistakes would be made in the medicine prescribed by Dongqing.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the medicine?" Seeing that her face looked strange, Xiao Yunzheng grabbed the medicine bowl and brought it close to her nose to smell it.

"Uh... I don't understand." She put down the bowl awkwardly.

Nian Susu couldn't help laughing, "It's okay, I feel much better after taking the medicine."

Xiao Yunzheng smiled happily, "That's good. If this medicine works, I'll go to Dong Qing tomorrow to get a prescription. I'll make it for you every day and you can drink it three or four times."

The two talked for a while, and Nian Susu remembered that there was something he had not asked Qin Junyu, so he left in a hurry.

She walked towards Qin Junyu's tent. The moonlight was dim and the lights were flickering. She felt her head getting heavier and heavier, but her legs were getting lighter and lighter, so light that she could not feel the existence of her legs.

Nian Susu held her forehead and relaxed for a while on the side of the road. She felt anxious and restless, and her whole body was emitting heat from the inside out. She thought of the bowl of medicine she had just drunk.

The medicine was given to Xiao Yunzheng by Xia Dong, but he probably didn't make it, and the prescription wasn't written by him. The reason why she felt the medicine was wrong was not because it was misprescribed, but because someone had added something to it, and the person most likely to have done this was Li Huairen.

The medicine was originally intended for Xiao Yunzheng. Needless to say, Li Huairen's intentions were obvious. She was glad that she drank it.

Nian Susu was barely able to stay awake, pinching his palms as he continued to walk towards Qin Junyu's tent. At this time, the safest thing was to stay by his side.

At this time, Qin Junyu was listening to Axuan's report on casualties when he suddenly heard a quarrel outside the door.

"Get out of the way, I want to go in."

"Miss Nian, His Highness is in a meeting inside and is not seeing anyone. If there is something urgent, please wait a moment. I will go in and report..."

"Get out of here! I want to see His Highness!"

Qin Junyu recognized it as Nian Susu's voice. He frowned, feeling puzzled. Why would his people stop her?

"what happened?"

Ah Falcon looked sideways, and after a careful consideration, he realized something and said, "Your Highness, the guards on duty tonight have been replaced, so they are not clear about the identity of the Crown Princess."

He looked up and saw that Qin Junyu was on the verge of getting angry. He hurriedly said, "I will invite the Crown Princess in right away!"

Nian Susu was supported by Axuan and entered the tent.

Qin Junyu immediately realized something was wrong. Her eyes were blurry, and she had a silly smile on her flushed face. Her hands and feet were out of her control. She didn't look like a normal person at all.

He took the person from Ah Falcon's hands and held him in his arms, and ordered in a deep voice: "Withdraw the people outside the door, and let our people guard nearby, and don't let anyone get close."

"Yes." A Falcon quickly withdrew.

Nian Susu clung to Qin Junyu's shoulders and rubbed against him constantly, like a kitten that smelled catnip, greedy for his scent.

Qin Junyu had no choice but to pick her up and walked to the bed to put her down, but she hugged his neck tightly and wrapped her legs around his waist like a clinging little snake that he couldn't get rid of no matter how hard he tried.

He had no choice but to hold her and sit down.

"Lingling, what's wrong with you?"

"Are you feeling unwell?"

He was a little worried about Nian Susu's condition.

She was humming and couldn't utter a complete sentence. Qin Junyu didn't understand what she said, but based on her behavior, he could guess why she became like this.

Li Huairen became the number one suspect. He understood pharmacology and stayed in the pharmacy all year round. Wouldn't it be easy for him to prepare some arousing medicine?

Qin Junyu clenched his fists, his chest filled with anger. Li Huairen actually dared to set his sights on his people. Wasn't this courting death?

But now he was thinking about how to deal with Li Huairen, because there was someone in his arms waiting for him to "deal with" him.

Qin Junyu thought of the old method he had used before. Without saying a word, he poured a glass of cold water and splashed it on her face. However, Nian Susu did not seem to wake up. Instead, she became more excited. Her pair of charming fox eyes looked even more alluring with the water, which hooked his heart.

"Your Highness..."

"Your Highness, hug me..."

Qin Junyu felt hot all over and swallowed nervously. He didn't want to take advantage of the situation, but...

He lowered his eyes and saw her looking at him pitifully.

"We are already married."

"We are husband and wife now."

He convinced himself.

Qin Junyu held her face, kissed her pink lips, and slowly laid her down on the bed.

I was so sad and couldn't sleep all night.

-

When Nian Susu woke up, it was still dark. The lights in the tent were bright. She looked around in a daze. The layout was clearly Qin Junyu's residence.

She moved her body and felt her whole body was sore and numb, and her throat was so dry that she couldn't make a sound. Not only that, a strong and sturdy arm was around her, and her arms could only be kept close to her sides.

Nian Susu's head buzzed and his ears started ringing.

What happened a few hours ago flashed before her eyes. Although she couldn't remember it clearly, she had guessed the general plot based on the current situation.
