The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Yunling brought the two of them into the courtyard. None of the officers and soldiers on duty dared to say anything and could only follow Aunt Yunling's wishes.

The dangerous and tense atmosphere dissipated as Yuchi Lan stepped into the house. The officers and soldiers were stopped outside. No one here would stare at the face under Bai Zhu's mask.

If Aunt Yunling hadn't been here, after having just experienced such a game, Yuchi Lan would have collapsed in her chair and started to recall the past with fear.

Bai Zhu noticed that Prince Lan was obviously relaxed, with his head down to hide the disappointment in his eyes. He couldn't help but wonder if it would really be a good thing for Xiao Wan if such a simple and stupid person entered Prince Bao's harem?

Moreover, the officers and soldiers outside obviously didn't want to make things worse, so they covered up what happened and let him in.

But he couldn't stay here for long, which was inconsistent with what he had just said.

But he had not yet figured out how to get past those officers and soldiers on his way out.

Yun Ling had been following His Majesty and had seen all kinds of monsters and demons. She pretended not to notice the undercurrent in the room and took out the medicine soup that had been simmering for an afternoon from the food box.

The strong bitter smell of medicine immediately broke the thoughts of everyone in the room. Even Yun Ling felt a little dizzy because of the pungent bitter smell. This medicine was worthy of being boiled for an entire afternoon. It was as thick as paste. Even if it was difficult to swallow, a lot of it would still stick in the throat. This nauseous feeling would at least accompany Yuchi Lan for the whole night.

"Your Highness, please drink it quickly while it's hot. Don't let His Majesty down."

Bai Zhu looked at the soup that was so thick that it could be used to paste walls, and frowned under his mask. He had some idea why Prince Lan looked so unhappy after leaving the Yangxin Palace and was unwilling to say another word.

Yuchi Lan's entire body was shrouded in the shadow of the medicine. Even if he were to experience the glory of tonight a hundred times, he would not be able to get out of it.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Majesty. Aunt Yunling has troubled me to make this trip in person. It's just a minor cold, there's no need to go to such trouble."

At this point, Yuchi Lan still wanted to maintain his dignity as a prince in front of Bai Zhu. He could drink the medicine in front of Bai Zhu, but he could not let Bai Zhu know the secret of the medicine.

Yun Ling just smiled and didn't respond. She had originally planned to send someone to deliver it tonight, but she still had to serve His Majesty, so after thinking about it, she decided to come in person.

We must not give Prince Xiaowan any chance to escape, and we must not waste the medicine we have prepared this afternoon.

Yun Ling has been with His Majesty for a long time. She looks gentle with a smile on her face and no words, but her eyes are extremely sharp.

It seems like they can see through people's hearts. No one can escape those eyes, and all the secrets hidden in the heart cannot be hidden.

Yuchi Lan knew he couldn't escape, so he resigned himself to his fate and picked up the medicine. The pungent bitter smell rushed into his nose, and he felt like his head was dizzy.

For a moment, Yuchi Lan wanted to drop the bowl of medicine. Just as this thought came to her mind, Aunt Yunling's voice rang out beside her:

"The bowl of medicine I simmered this morning was much shorter, so its efficacy is certainly not as good as this one. The bowl of medicine in your hand took an entire afternoon to simmer, brewed in the side hall of Your Majesty's Yangxin Palace. I think when Your Majesty drank it, he must have felt Your Majesty's care for him."

Aunt Yunling's voice was as gentle as running water, but to Yuchi Lan it sounded more like it was flowing from the Yellow Springs River in the underworld, and every word she said was threatening his life.

His mind was unusually clear, and his hand holding the bowl became steadier. He believed that if he dared to accidentally knock over the bowl of medicine today, what would be waiting for him tomorrow would be even more severe than this bowl.

Yuchi Lan closed her eyes, made up her mind, picked up the bowl, opened her mouth and started swallowing.

However, the medicine was too thick, and no matter how much preparation he made, it was useless. As soon as the medicine touched his tongue, it was so bitter that it made him feel cold all over, shivering, and tears streaming down his face.

The amount of medicine in a bowl was not that much, and it took him three quarters of an hour to finish it all.

Looking at the thick layer of liquid stuck to the bottom of the bowl, Yuchi Lan put the bowl down in fear, as if she would spit out everything she had just drunk if she looked at it any longer.

Seeing this, Yun Ling stepped forward, picked up the teapot on the table, poured warm water into it to dilute the remaining tea, and raised her hand to signal Yuchi Lan to continue.

"All the medicinal herbs used here are top-grade, rarely seen even in the Imperial Hospital. Prince, please don't waste them."

Yuchi Lan now suppressed the urge to vomit, he couldn't bear to drink another sip.

But Aunt Yunling's aura was so strong that the words of rejection were on the tip of her tongue, but he didn't dare to open his mouth.

I was so scared that I didn’t know whether the words would come out first or the medicine would come out first.

"This water isn't too hot, I think it's drinkable straight away. Prince, please hurry up. When I return, Your Majesty will surely be pleased to know that you've finished it all."

Yuchi Lan looked at the bowl of bitter water that had become turbid after being mixed with other water, and her heart was filled with bitterness.

The glory of tonight and the days to come in his imagination kept appearing before his eyes. He could only numb himself with these images so that he could endure the nausea and drink this incredibly bitter thing.

Yun Ling was watching from the side, waiting to see Yuchi Lan's eyes bloodshot from drinking, and only when there was no trace of medicine left in the bowl did she take the medicine bowl away with satisfaction.

When he put the medicine bowl back into the food box, he started to ask questions lightly:

"Prince, do you feel better after drinking this?"

Yuchi Lan had drunk so much that she was stupid. Her stomach was full of bitterness and she couldn't vomit it out. She could only nod helplessly at Aunt Yunling.

He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would not be able to hold it in and vomit in front of Aunt Yunling.

All the drinks before were in vain, you might need to drink another bowl.

Aunt Yunling is very tactful and thorough, so it is not impossible for her to prepare an extra bowl.

Yun Ling looked at Yuchi Lan with gentle eyes, as if she was looking at a well-behaved and sensible child.

"As long as Prince finds it useful, I'll send it to you tomorrow."

The Queen of Great Xia had said this morning that the sterilization soup had to be consumed for a whole year. Yuchi Lan was already mentally prepared, and the bitter taste in his mouth had not yet subsided. He had chosen the path himself, and there was no turning back at this point.

"Thank you, Aunt Yunling. I'll take you out."

Yuchi Lan put her hands on the table and struggled to stand up, trying to follow the etiquette.

"Prince, there's no need to bother. You've caught a cold. Please stay in the courtyard of the post station and recuperate. When you've recovered from the cold, I'll accompany you on a tour of the capital."

The ban was imposed. Before Yuchi Lan finished listening, his eyes widened as he looked at Aunt Yunling. Was the Queen of Daxia jealous that he had won her daughter's heart so quickly? She wanted to lock him up here and cut off his connection with Prince Bao so that his wish would not come true?

What a vicious and treacherous plot! Yuchi Lan clenched his hands on the table into fists, and the hatred in his eyes was not well hidden.
