Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

It turns out that this person is Mei Boyan, the storyteller from Wangyue Tower who has become popular in Liangcheng recently.

He was originally from Nanxing Country, but because of his extraordinary looks, he was favored by Princess Hao Rong of Nanxing Country, forcing him to flee to Liangcheng. Unexpectedly, after a few days of peace and quiet, he was favored by Princess Jiang Yunzi of Dayong. This princess was even more arrogant than Hao Rong. Without a word, she had him carried to the princess's residence to serve. If he disobeyed, he would be beaten, and the beatings were targeted at the most inconspicuous and painful places. After finally escaping those people, he was caught up before he could even leave Liangcheng. He was forced to jump into a carriage parked on the side of the road, and unexpectedly, he bumped into the Crown Princess.

Ruan Chuyin looked at his tearful face and sighed in her heart: This man is so lucky! He is favored by princesses wherever he goes!

Then she couldn't help but ask, "Since you've escaped from Nanxing Country, why do you have to work as a storyteller in Wangyue Tower when you can do something else?" She almost asked: "You know you're so beautiful, why do you still have to show up in public? Wouldn't it be better to just wear a veil and find a job that doesn't require you to show your face?" She still remembered what Xiang Yunchi once said: These days, a beautiful man without any strength is far more dangerous than a woman out there alone.

Mei Boyan smiled bitterly and said, "You may not know this, Crown Princess, but my family has made a living from this for generations. If I weren't a storyteller, I really don't know what else I could do."

This was only half true. His family had actually been storytellers since his grandfather's generation. His grandfather had committed a crime, and three generations of his family were barred from officialdom. Therefore, no matter how learned or ambitious he was, he could not achieve success through the imperial examinations.

He had been living a muddled life in Nanxing. After being favored by Hao Rong, he briefly wavered, hoping to use the princess' influence to change his fate. However, the princess had no intention of recruiting him as her consort, not even taking him into her chambers. She simply wanted to have a romantic encounter with him. That night, he fled with his belongings.

Liangcheng, the capital of Dayong, was home to many noble ladies, all of whom were exceptionally beautiful. He had come here hoping to try his luck. If he was lucky enough to be chosen as a son-in-law by a noble lady, he could be registered as a resident of Dayong, thus eliminating the hurdles in his pursuit of imperial examinations. Unexpectedly, just as he had become famous, he was spotted by the eldest princess of Dayong.

Jiang Yunzi is even more cruel than Hao Rong. She sent people to arrest him without even seeing him. She openly defied the law and didn't treat people as human beings. How could he swallow this?

I am of low status, poor, and have no martial arts skills. How can I fight against so many wolves and tigers with just a good appearance? The most important thing now is to cling to a towering tree, and the person in front of me happens to be the best candidate.

I've been in Liangcheng for some time now, and the Crown Princess's name is well-known. Seeing her today is even more stunning. No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Linhuai made exceptions for her. If it were him, he would be willing too!

What's wrong with being small? Why not give it a try?

So, he tried hard to think of the pain and squeeze out tears, then hugged those two golden thighs and cried: "Crown Princess, I am willing to be your slave and serve you for the rest of my life! I only ask for a place to stay. The eldest princess will never give up! I was able to survive today because I met you. Maybe those people are lying in ambush around waiting for me to get off the car. Crown Princess, you are beautiful and kind, compassionate, please don't abandon me!" In order to get rid of Jiang Yunzi, Mei Boyan broke his spine for the first time, which really touched his sore spot. His brows trembled and his face was full of tears.

"Get up and talk." Ruan Chuyin broke free from his big hand, her head aching slightly.

Oh my God! Who can tell her why it has to be the eldest princess?

What should I do now? I can't take him back to Hongmei Villa, right? Mingyue Restaurant is even worse. What's the difference between that and giving Wei Jiusi a head?

After thinking about it, I decided to get out of this quickly.

She took a deep breath and said, "I have no shortage of people around me. Take this money to buy a fence and leave Liangcheng quickly. I hope you will have a path under your feet and light ahead of you from now on, and wherever you step, the road will be smooth." As she spoke, she took out two silver notes worth one hundred taels from her arms and handed them to him.

Mei Boyan has always been conceited about his appearance. He did not expect such a result and immediately became excited.

Is what he lacks now money? What he lacks is an umbrella of protection that can compete with Jiang Yunzi.

Standing behind the Crown Princess were His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Emperor. Having hooked up with her, were you still worried about not being able to gain a foothold in Liangcheng?

He'd had enough of being trampled upon. Heaven had been so unfair, giving him such a ruthless fate. Wasn't twenty-one years enough? How much longer did they want to waste his life?

Without the identity of a good citizen and without the weapons of power, how can he have a path under his feet and light ahead?

Thinking of this, he could no longer suppress the grief and anger that had been accumulating in his heart, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Black blood beads spilled on the white silver bills, and the face of Yan Rushunhua turned pale as paper in an instant. He fell straight down in front of her with his starry eyes wide open.

Is this... poisoned?

The raised little hand remained frozen in the air, the pupils trembled for three seconds, and then she immediately ordered the coachman to drive quickly to the nearest clinic.

The sky gradually darkened, the red clouds in the sky faded away, and the moon climbed above the treetops, casting a cool hue on the earth.

The wheels of the car were turning so fast that the terrifying sound of the wind could be clearly heard through the curtains.

Ruan Chuyin kept checking Mei Boyan's breath, fearing that he would die in the car.

As the saying goes, stay at home on the seventh day of the lunar month. Coincidentally, today is the seventh day of the second lunar month.

What a bad luck!

"Princess, we're at the clinic," the coachman reported.

The moment the curtains were drawn, her eyes lit up and she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes as if she had seen a savior.

It's Ning'an Pharmacy! The shop owned by the Fufeng Sword Immortal.

He immediately asked the groom to carry the weak body and walked in together.

The familiar aroma of medicine filled his nose. Ji Zhiya was prescribing a prescription for an elderly man. The moment he looked up, his eyes were clearly moved.

It was the first time the old man saw such a beautiful girl. He held the prescription and sighed for a long time before leaving.

"Miss Ruan." Ji Zhiya hesitated for a moment and felt that it would be more appropriate to call her Miss Ruan.

The groom Chen Chen was about to stop him, but he heard the Crown Princess politely say "Master Ji" and immediately stopped talking.

"Who is this?" Ji Zhiya raised his delicate eyebrows slightly and looked at the handsome man supported on the coachman's shoulders.

His face looked very bad, and his lips were bluish-black. It seemed that he had been poisoned for some time.

"I rescued him on the road. Could you please see if he can be cured?" Ruan Chuyin asked anxiously, her two little hands hanging in front of her chest and twisting them constantly, making Ji Zhiya guess the relationship between them.

He glanced at Mei Boyan indifferently, took his pulse with his hand, and after the diagnosis, his brows raised even higher.

"He has been poisoned by Aconitum Powder, a chronic poison. If you were half an incense stick late, even the Golden Immortal would be unable to save him." He then took out a red pill and put it into his mouth.

Ruan Chuyin secretly took two deep breaths, and even her calves began to tremble uncontrollably.

The princess is so cruel! Not only does she want people, she wants lives too!

"Miss Ruan, are you feeling unwell?" Before he finished speaking, two fingers had already placed on her pulse.

"How dare you! How dare you be rude to the Crown Princess!" Chen Chen was carrying a person on his shoulder and couldn't pull out his right hand, so he could only grip the hilt of the sword with his backhand.

Ji Zhiya's face remained calm as he gently flicked his sleeve and ushered him out of the room. As for Mei Boyan, a gust of wind carried him to the Luohan bed nearby.

Good work!

Ruan Chuyin opened her mouth in surprise and shouted towards the door, "Chen Chen, just wait at the door."

In the blink of an eye, the two fingers on the fair wrist had loosened.

"I'll prescribe a tonic for you. After you go back, boil it and take it once every seven days for three months." Ji Zhiya diagnosed that her pulse was a little slow and deep, a sign of mild uterine cold, but it was not serious and would be fine with proper conditioning.

"...Thank you." Ruan Chuyin took the prescription, glanced at it briefly, and put it in her arms. All her thoughts were now on Mei Boyan, and she asked anxiously, "Is that young master... okay?"

After seeing Ji Zhiya nod slightly, her mood suddenly became brighter, and even her breathing became smoother. She quickly took out three large silver bills and handed them to him, asking: "Mr. Ji, I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first. Is this consultation fee... enough?" She was a little unsure about the price of the antidote, so she asked tentatively.

Ji Zhiya was stunned again, a little surprised that he had misjudged her. The corners of his lips curled up slightly as he replied, "That's enough."

Just as Ruan Chuyin turned around, she suddenly asked, "Is Wei Jiusi looking for the Qingyou Fruit?"
