After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

Lu Jiangnian saw through her thoughts at a glance.

He showed a sarcastic smile: "My lady, you think too much. I am very sober."

After a pause, he asked in a deep voice, "Why don't you believe me?"

"Is there really nothing to explain?"

Every word was clear and distinct, hitting her eardrums.

Her heart tightened and she didn't dare to look at him.

His palm fell on her loose black hair: "Even if you don't tell me, I will find out."

The hand was very deft, sliding to the strap behind her neck and fiddling with it gently.

Yuan Wanru was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, fearing that he would accidentally break the thin straps of her bellyband.

Her sparkling eyes revealed a shyness and helplessness: "Don't be impulsive."

The slender and soft little hand climbed up his arm and shook it gently: "Let's talk it over. Let me go first."

Lu Jiangnian's fingers tapped her back lightly, and his delicate touch fell on her smooth neck: "Your heart is beating very fast, I can hear it."

"What are you afraid of, my lady? Are you afraid that I will tear it apart?"

His voice was incredibly gentle, but his eyes held a clear threat.

Strong and dangerous.

Yuan Wanru helplessly met his burning gaze: "You don't have to be angry. If I tell you, will you believe it?"

"If you don't tell me, how do you know I don't believe it?"

His palm covered her face, holding her pretty face cherishingly: "Speak?"

His expression was serious, his eyes were intimate, and it seemed forced, but she felt like he was pleading with her.

So subtle.

This attitude did not disgust her.

Now that things have come to this, just tell him.

"The old lady fainted on Mid-Autumn night and never woke up the next day. I remembered a book I'd read that mentioned a kind of Gu called 'Sleeping Nightmare Gu'."

His face turned stern, and his eyes, which had been tender just now, immediately showed a murderous look.

"Sleep Nightmare Gu, what is this?"

She shifted slightly, her voice softening a bit, like icing sugar: "Let's do this. I can't go on. Let's sit down and talk, okay?"

At this moment, Lu Jiangnian no longer had those romantic thoughts in his mind, and he let her go.

"Well, please speak carefully."

Yuan Wanru explained, "This is a kind of Gu from southern Xinjiang. Those who are infected with it will fall into a coma. If they can be cured in time, it won't cause much harm to the body."

He asked at the right moment: "How long does timely mean?"

"No more than seven days."

Yuan Wanru explained to him, "Because, if someone who has been infected with the Sleep Nightmare Gu doesn't eat or drink for more than a certain period of time, their body functions will decline. Even if they wake up, their vitality will be greatly damaged, and it will be difficult to recover."

"So, the sooner we can remove the poison, the better."

Lu Jiangnian pondered for a moment: "The medicinal lead you mentioned earlier is actually a preparation for removing the poison?"

She nodded affirmatively: "Yeah."

"What about the Second Prince?"

He has not forgotten this incident.

Yuan Wanru hesitated for a moment, but decided to express her feelings.

"I do suspect that the rumors are related to the Second Prince."

Lu Jiangnian didn't laugh at her, nor did he directly deny her. Instead, he said calmly, "He has no reason to target you."

His reaction was much better than she expected.

"On the surface, he really had no reason to target me."

"But have you forgotten that Liang Yusong likes you, and he did it for Liang Yusong..."

Lu Jiangnian looked at her with amusement and reached out to rub the top of her head. "You're overthinking it. The Second Prince is a rational man. He wouldn't do such a ridiculous thing just for the sake of his children's feelings."

Yuan Wanru curled her lips and slapped away his hand on her hair: "I told you earlier, even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it."

"If you don't believe it, don't ask me anymore."

She stood up, somewhat listlessly, and ignored him, moving towards the bed.

He grabbed her hand, held it in his palm, and didn't let her leave.

"Angry?"

Lu Jiangnian also stood up and suddenly said, "Although it's ridiculous, I didn't say I wouldn't investigate."

She was very surprised to hear him say he would check.

"Really?"

Meeting her suspicious eyes, he curled his lips and smiled slightly: "You are my wife. Someone is targeting you. No matter who is behind it, I will investigate."

"It's just that the person you suspected was beyond my expectation."

Yuan Wanru's eyes lit up and she gave him a smile that came from the heart.

However, her smile froze when she heard his next words.

"My dear, which book did you read about the Nightmare Gu? Could you please borrow it and let me show it to someone else?"

Book……

Where can she find it in modern times?

"Maybe... I don't know... where I put it."

"I'll look for it tomorrow, but I may not be able to find it."

Lu Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and looked at her, his eyes full of scrutiny.

If you think about it carefully, the Yuan family is not a scholarly family, and Yuan Chuan has not read much.

No one in their Lu family studied medicine, Miaojiang was thousands of miles away, and books about Miaojiang's Gu were even less popular. How did she get this book?

Suddenly, he asked, "Is there really a book?"

Yuan Wanru nodded with certainty: "Of course, otherwise how would I know."

He suddenly smiled, and there was something sinister about his smile.

"My lady, did you lie to me?"

"What if I can't find it?"

She was already feeling guilty and now she didn't know how to respond.

He gave an awkward and forced smile: "No, I really looked for it. If I can't find it..."

"If you can't find it..."

He interrupted her and said, "If you can't find it, let me kiss you once."

"The rules are the same as last time. You can only kiss above the neck, and you can only kiss all night."

"If my lady has not lied to me and hands the book to me tomorrow, then all this will be nothing more than my delusion."

His voice was low and ruffian-like, his eyes were full of momentum, he stared at her without blinking, waiting for her answer.

Yuan Wanru thought this person was extremely bad.

Did he see through her lies and find ways to benefit himself?

They kissed all night long. Last time, her lips were swollen and she couldn't even drink water the next day. He still wanted to do it again.

"Kiss for half an hour at most."

The book certainly cannot be changed, we can only reduce the losses.

Lu Jiangnian is not that easy to talk to.

"Madam, that's not how we calculate this account."

"That day in Grandmother's room, I already realized that Madam was deliberately sending me away. Although I felt sad, I still endured the grievance and cooperated with Madam."

"Today, regarding the suspected person in the rumor, you didn't tell the truth at first, and your heart was hurt once again."

"Is this book another lie?"

"My wife has repeatedly hurt my sincerity. In my opinion, one night is not enough. Three nights is more appropriate."

His voice became aggrieved, like a deliberately pitiful little green tea: "You won't give it to me for three nights, and you won't give it to me for one night. You actually want to turn it into half an hour. You have such a cruel heart."

He was clearly dominating the scene just now, but he was secretly threatening to tear off the thin straps of her bellyband.

Now it's like this again.

He switched between them so smoothly and effortlessly.

Instead, she was a little confused.
