Back and forth: I brought supplies to help the impoverished prince

"Who's there!? Come out!"

The moonlight was bright, the night wind blew the willow branches, and Qiao Shinian walked out from behind the wall awkwardly.

"I am the maid of the Thirteenth Prince of Chu Wen Kingdom. Your Highness, are you swimming at night so late at night?" Qiao Shinian was speechless. Who would occupy the pool where she was cooling off in the middle of the night!

She looked for a long time but couldn't see the person clearly. When she thought about how she had only been soaking in this pool for less than ten days and someone had discovered and occupied it, she felt depressed.

Thinking that less trouble is worse than more, he decided to wait until the person left before trying again, so he just kept looking.

As a result, the person soaking in the pool was the cold and elegant virtuous king!

Qiao Shinian looked a little unhappy, but she still walked over with a smile and said respectfully: "Your Highness, you have worked hard for your night swim. I will not disturb you."

Mu Qingchen looked at Qiao Shinian in the moonlight. Wen Jiu had been in Zhou Kingdom for more than half a year, so he naturally had contact with Wen Jiu. He had some impression of Qiao Shinian and always watched everything in silence with a curious and burning gaze.

Wen Jiu was very caring towards her, and his attitude was not like that towards a maid, but rather like that towards an important sister.

"What are you doing here? What are you holding in your hand?!" Mu Qingchen suddenly became a little alert. This place is remote and few people come here.

He was accidentally drugged today and has been soaking here for an hour. Those who were looking for him should have given up.

Thinking of the reason for taking Chinese medicine, Mu Qingchen felt chilled.

Seeing Qiao Shinian staring at him curiously, Mu Qingchen blushed again. This palace maid shouldn't have seen what he did just now, right?

"Clothes, I'm going to take a bath here to cool off." Qiao Shinian said as a matter of course, and then hurriedly said: "I didn't expect to meet you here, Your Highness. Um, can I leave now?"

She didn't do anything and didn't say anything inappropriate, so she shouldn't be so unlucky as to be blamed by this prince who had a good impression on her.

"Ahem, I forgot to bring clothes. Can I borrow some clothes from the Thirteenth Prince?" He was not sure whether those people would give up tonight. Thinking of the fact that Wen Jiu lived in a remote place, he decided to go there to spend the night.

Qiao Shinian answered hesitantly: "I'm not sure if I can lend you clothes. Why don't you wait for a while and I'll go ask Wen Jiu... Ahem, the Thirteenth Prince."

After all, they had very few supplies, and they couldn't give the virtuous king the worst clothes. Wen Jiu only had three or four pieces of clothes left to show off. Most of the royal nobles would not return such things, so Wen Jiu would have one less piece of clothing.

Mu Qingchen frowned. He felt that Qiao Shinian's words were a little strange. Why did he ask? In this case, shouldn't he just agree? Or... refuse?

He couldn't imagine what Qiao Shinian was thinking, he just felt that her thoughts might be a little different from those of normal palace maids.

"You lead the way, I will go with you." Mu Qingchen said in an unquestionable tone. After all, he was a wise king, and this slightly commanding tone was the one he was most familiar with.

"Okay, come with me. My prince happens to be taking a walk not far away, you can ask him." Qiao Shinian turned around, feeling a little guilty and annoyed.

She shouldn't have done anything wrong! What was this wise king thinking? He had never said a word to Wen Jiu, but he suddenly wanted to borrow clothes from her. How presumptuous!

Watching Qiao Shinian's receding back, Mu Qingchen quickly tidied himself up and followed Qiao Shinian.

He didn't quite understand. Shouldn't she help him at this moment?

"I haven't seen the Thirteenth Prince for some time. Is he okay?" Mu Qingchen felt very embarrassed for the first time. He followed Qiao Shinian wetly to ask for clothes.

Qiao Shinian strictly followed the palace rules, lowered his head and looked at the road without looking around: "It's okay, there is food and drink."

Mu Qingchen's handsome face turned a little ugly. He didn't understand what Qiao Shinian said. This was not a normal answer.

"Are you having trouble getting used to the food in Zhou Kingdom?" he asked patiently.

Qiao Shinian suddenly stopped and looked at the handsome and wise king curiously, "Your Highness, what exactly do you want to ask? You can find out what we eat by just checking, why are you asking when you already know the answer?!"

She was a little angry, but she realized that her tone was wrong, so she quickly shut up. After all, this was a prince living outside the palace, so it was normal for him not to know what was going on inside the palace.

Bah! Normal ass!

This is not normal at all. He is not a fool. How could he not know Wen Jiu’s situation? If he knew Wen Jiu’s situation, how could he not know how bad their food is!

She was already upset that the pool where she was cooling off was occupied, and now she had to borrow Wen Jiu's clothes!

Now he has to pretend to ask Wen Jiu whether he is living a good life!

Isn't this obvious? Wen Jiu lived a miserable life, being laughed at by the princes and nobles, and mocked by the palace maids and eunuchs!

Seeing Qiao Shinian's eyes that were about to burst into anger, Mu Qingchen's swollen head suddenly came to his senses.

The drug was so potent that he soaked in cold water for a long time to feel relieved. His brain was in a mess, just like the feeling of being drunk. He was filled with only primitive desires.

After the effect of the medicine wore off, although I was awake, I always felt that my thoughts were wrapped up by something, and I had a feeling that I couldn't understand or explain it clearly.

Going to a hostage's palace to borrow clothes was a very impertinent and rude act. In order to ease the embarrassment, he asked some random questions in an attempt to get closer to the person.

However, the palace maid in front of him did not know how to use this opportunity to get closer to him, but instead got angry at his words.

"Sister? Who are you talking to?" Wen Jiu's voice sounded, and Qiao Shinian suddenly calmed down.

She couldn't believe what she had just said in anger. "Please forgive me, Your Highness. It's just that our Thirteenth Prince is in a difficult situation here and has been bullied by a villain. I just spoke out of turn, so please don't blame me."

"It's okay." Mu Qingchen looked at Qiao Shinian's beautiful neck in the moonlight. The dissipated medicinal properties seemed to be reviving.

"Thirteenth Prince, um, the virtuous prince came to borrow some clothes from you." Qiao Shinian hurriedly walked towards Wen Jiu who had already stood up, lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "I might be having my period, so I'm a little irritable. I couldn't help but be a little mean to him just now."

"It looks like everything should be fine." Wen Jiu answered her in a low voice, turned around and walked towards Mu Qingchen, "Your Highness, I don't have any clothes you can wear."

Mu Qingchen naturally heard the conversation between Qiao Shinian and Wen Jiu, and suddenly felt that this abnormal palace maid was quite normal when she spoke to Wen Jiu.

"Thirteenth Prince, you just need to find me a set of clothes to wear. I will definitely repay you for what I did tonight in the future."

Wen Jiu looked at Mu Qingchen, who was soaking wet, and nodded in response, "Please follow me."

So, Qiao Shinian followed the two of them.

After arriving at Wen Jiu's bedroom, Wen Jiu ordered someone to find a set of guard's clothes.

"Wen Jiu, what's wrong with him?" Qiao Shinian could tell from their conversation that Mu Qingchen didn't seem to be simply going out to cool off.

Wen Jiu tilted his head and stood on tiptoe and whispered, "He was drugged."

The slight irritation in his heart disappeared in an instant. Qiao Shinian showed a look of excitement, and said in a voice with a little excitement, "Medicine, is it the kind of medicine I think it is?"

Wen Jiu cooperated very well, showing the same expression and nodded.

Qiao Shinian was a little excited. The material on TV was indeed based on reality.

"Is he okay now?" Qiao Shinian asked again.

Wen Jiu glanced at the inner hall and said hesitantly, "It should have solved the problem of the drug's effects."

"Wow~, Wen Jiu, let me tell you, in TV dramas like this, there's usually a female protagonist who comes to give him the antidote, and then a series of love-hate entanglements arise, which is really exciting!"
