The Poisonous Concubine is alive

The spatula in Liu Yunrou's hand dropped with a clang, and her face instantly turned red, like a ripe apple. She looked at Ye Chenxuan with a reproachful look, but when she met his affectionate gaze, she lowered her head in shame.

"I'm sorry, I... I just couldn't help myself." Ye Chenxuan explained stutteringly.

Liu Yunrou bit her lower lip lightly and whispered, "Why is Your Highness so reckless?" But the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

Ye Chenxuan looked at Liu Yunrou, who understood and stepped forward to take the envoy's pulse. After a moment, she frowned slightly and said that it was a rare disease that required a special herb. However, this herb was extremely rare and was not in stock in the palace.

Ye Chenxuan immediately ordered a search outside the palace. Liu Yunrou then used acupuncture to temporarily alleviate the messenger's symptoms. Everyone was amazed at her medical skills.

Soon, the herbs arrived, and Liu Yunrou carefully prepared them into pills and fed them to the messenger. The messenger gradually regained consciousness and expressed his gratitude to Liu Yunrou.

After this incident, Liu Yunrou's fame soared, and she was not only highly respected in her own country but also became a legend in other countries. Ye Chenxuan, looking at his radiant wife beside him, felt a surge of pride. He held Liu Yunrou's hand tightly and whispered, "My wife is truly an extraordinary woman. I am so lucky to have you." Liu Yunrou leaned on his shoulder, a gentle smile on her face.

Ye Chenxuan stood at the kitchen doorway, the scene before him dazed. Princess Liu Yunrou, her face as bright as the moon, stood against the backdrop of the fire, expertly stirring the ingredients in the wok. The flickering flames seemed to ignite tiny sparks in her eyes, while her focused expression and the alluring aroma wafting from the wok filled the entire kitchen with the warmth and sweetness of home. Ye Chenxuan's heartbeat quickened involuntarily, as if deeply captivated by this heartwarming scene.

He had never imagined that this beautiful and talented Crown Princess possessed such exquisite culinary skills. In the kitchen, the clinking of spatulas against the pot walls and the crackling of ingredients dancing joyfully in the hot oil formed a beautiful symphony. In a state of ecstasy, Ye Chenxuan couldn't help but approach. Gazing at Liu Yunrou's focused profile, his emotions surged like a tide. Unable to contain himself any longer, he gently placed a tender kiss on Liu Yunrou's cheek. At that moment, the atmosphere in the kitchen seemed to freeze, leaving only the sound of their two heartbeats, which echoed in the quiet space, interweaving into the most beautiful melody.

Ye Chenxuan's eyes were filled with unconcealable shock and tenderness. He watched Liu Yunrou busy in the kitchen, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. Every movement she made, every flip of the spatula, seemed to touch the softest part of his heart. The warm glow of the fire danced on her face, illuminating her delicate skin and the slightly sweaty tip of her nose. This unadorned beauty made Ye Chenxuan's heart tremble.

The spatula in Liu Yunrou's hand dropped with a clang, and her face instantly flushed like a ripe apple. She looked at Ye Chenxuan with a stern look, but when she met his affectionate gaze, she lowered her head in shame. Her long hair brushed gently against her shoulders, a few strands of hair sticking to her hot cheeks. The shyness in that moment made Ye Chenxuan's heart melt.

"I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself." Ye Chenxuan stuttered as he explained, his voice trembling slightly, revealing his inner excitement.

Liu Yunrou bit her lower lip and whispered, "Your Highness, why are you so reckless?" But the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up, and her eyes sparkled with happiness, as if the whole world had become incomparably beautiful at this moment.

At that moment, a burning smell emanated from the pot, and Liu Yunrou hurriedly turned to fix the food. Ye Chenxuan scratched his head awkwardly and then came to help. He clumsily passed the seasoning, cautiously afraid of making another mistake. The atmosphere in the kitchen became more lively at this moment, and the interaction between the two was filled with the little joys of life.

When the food arrived, Ye Chenxuan took a bite and praised, "My wife's cooking skills are truly exceptional." Liu Yunrou smiled softly in response, her eyes gleaming with pride. That smile was like a flower blooming in spring, beautiful and warm.

After the meal, Ye Chenxuan suddenly covered his stomach, frowned, and cried out in pain. Liu Yunrou was shocked and hurriedly took his pulse, and found that it was because of eating too fast that he had gastrointestinal discomfort. While complaining about Ye Chenxuan's unruly behavior, she quickly mixed herbs to make a decoction. After drinking the decoction, Ye Chenxuan felt much better. He held Liu Yunrou's hand and said gratefully: "Thanks to my wife's miraculous hands, I will listen to my wife and eat well in the future." Liu Yunrou rolled her eyes at him, and the two smiled at each other. The smile contained deep love and tacit understanding, making the whole room full of love.

Liu Yunrou's gaze, like warm water, gently flowed over Ye Chenxuan, her eyes filled with deep attachment and concern. However, despite her heart filled with love for her husband, her body involuntarily tensed, her hands unconsciously intertwined, her fingertips trembling slightly. She knew it was her social phobia at work; even in front of those closest to her, she found it difficult to fully relax.

Whenever Ye Chenxuan turned around and tried to meet her gaze, Liu Yunrou would quickly lower her head, a faint blush spreading across her face, like a timid deer that had stumbled upon a hunter in the forest, eager for closeness yet terrified of being caught. Her heartbeat quickened, her breathing became a little rapid, and she struggled to control her emotions, trying to suppress the urge to escape.

Ye Chenxuan noticed his wife's unusual behavior, his brow furrowed slightly, a look of worry in his eyes. He gently reached out, wanting to stroke Liu Yunrou's hair as a gesture of comfort, but paused mid-air, worried that such an action would only make her more nervous. In the end, he simply gently held her hand, the warmth of his palm conveying his support and understanding for her.

"Yunrou, don't be nervous. We are the only ones here. You don't need to be afraid." Ye Chenxuan's voice was low and gentle, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, taking away some of the chill in Liu Yunrou's heart.

Liu Yunrou slowly raised her head, her eyes gleaming with gratitude. She tried hard to force a smile. Although there was still a hint of shyness and uneasiness in her smile, her heart gradually calmed down because of Ye Chenxuan's thoughtfulness. She knew that in this world, having such a person who understood and loved her was her greatest luck.

A few days later, news spread from the palace that a princess from a neighboring kingdom was about to visit. This arrogant princess, upon hearing that Ye Chenxuan favored Liu Yunrou, grew jealous. On her arrival, she deliberately challenged Liu Yunrou to a medical contest. Liu Yunrou initially didn't want to get involved in such an unnecessary fight, but, mindful of her country's loss of face, she agreed.

During the competition, a princess from a neighboring kingdom presented a rare herb, claiming it had suffered a strange injury. Liu Yunrou declared victory if she could restore it to its original state. Liu Yunrou carefully examined the herb, then calmly applied acupuncture techniques and a secret ointment. The herb revived with visible speed. Everyone was amazed, and the princess's face sank.

Ye Chenxuan looked at Liu Yunrou with pride, then warned the neighboring princess not to cause any more trouble. From then on, no one dared to challenge Liu Yunrou. The bond between Liu Yunrou and Ye Chenxuan grew deeper through these experiences, and they spent spring, summer, autumn, and winter together. Liu Yunrou gradually overcame her social anxiety and lived a happy and fulfilling life with Ye Chenxuan by her side.
