Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

The reception room in the garden wasn't very big, and apart from the old woman who cleaned the yard outside, only Xie Qingyu was there.

Luo Qingran ignored the tea Xie Qingyu had placed on the table and looked at Xie Qingyu standing by the table, asking, "How has Your Highness been feeling lately? Have you been to the hot springs?"

“My body looks about the same as before, I think I’ve been to the hot springs a few times,” Xie Qingyu replied.

"Does Your Highness usually take your medicine on time?"

"The medicine prescribed by the imperial physician is now taken once every three days, and he hardly takes any medicine anymore."

Luo Qingran was somewhat dissatisfied upon hearing Xie Qingyu's answer.

Even though my health isn't good, or even has serious problems, why am I hardly taking any medicine anymore?

Luo Qingran unconsciously touched the hollow gold bracelet; the contents inside must be useful.

Luo Qingran couldn't be sure, but she couldn't wait any longer. It was easier to send such things in while they were in the garden; once she returned to the Prince's mansion, there might not be such an opportunity.

Prince Shen has been awake for so long and has indeed shown her great respect, but there has been no progress, and she is really anxious.

There was no way out for her in the Grand Commandant's mansion, and she knew that she could not provide any assistance to Prince Shen, so if she wanted to secure her position, she could only rely on her child.

"I'm having dinner with the Prince today, so please send someone to inform him," Luo Qingran instructed her maid.

She had originally intended to invite Prince Shen to her courtyard, but since he was not there, she had no choice but to stay and wait, so she dined with him there.

Xie Qingyu noticed Luo Qingran's occasional unnatural movements and began to have some guesses.

"Why has Your Highness come today? You should have sent someone to announce your arrival first. There's no need to keep Your Highness waiting here." Prince Shen said as Changliu walked in from outside.

Xie Qingyu looked outside and saw that Xinping had already been standing to one side.

"It's alright, I have nothing to do by myself, so I'll just wait here for a while." Luo Qingran greeted her with a smile.

"There's no reason for me to freeze here if there's nothing wrong." Prince Shen strode in, his eyes sweeping over Xie Qingyu discreetly before looking away.

"It's warm in the garden," Luo Qingran said, sitting down beside her.

"What brings you here today, Your Highness?" Prince Shen stared at her.

Luo Qingran froze upon hearing his question. She really didn't have any excuse. "It's just... the hot springs here are really comfortable and relaxing. Did Your Highness feel any better after soaking in them?"

"I appreciate Your Highness's concern, but this hot spring can only relieve some fatigue, it's not very helpful for healing injuries. My body..." Prince Shen said with a dejected expression, "I know that myself."

Seeing his expression, Luo Qingran only regretted that she had said the wrong thing.

"The imperial physicians have changed the prescriptions to once every three days, which means that the prince's health is not seriously affected. He should rest well and he will get better gradually."

Luo Qingran didn't even know if she was comforting Prince Shen or herself with her words.

"It can only be the."

As the two were talking, their dinner arrived.

"Your Highness, let's have dinner together today." Prince Shen was the first to stand up.

Luo Qingran's gaze met that of the maid who had just returned from serving the meal, and the maid nodded to her.

Seeing this, Luo Qingran quickened her pace and her body became less stiff.

"Your Highness, please try this. It's a type of rice wine that only comes from my aunt's hometown. It's not far from the estate, so it was specially delivered. Rice wine is good for your health, Your Highness, please have some more." Luo Qingran raised her wine cup to toast Prince Shen.

“Since Your Highness says so, I must drink a few more cups of wine tonight, so as not to disappoint your kindness.” Prince Shen also raised his wine cup.

Luo Qingran slowly sipped her wine, her gaze fixed on Prince Shen's drinking movements.

I only felt relieved after watching him finish the cup.

"This wine is indeed excellent. It has little to no alcoholic taste, but it warms you up when you drink it. Since it's so good, Your Highness, please have a few more cups with me."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingran's face showed a slight hint of difficulty, but it quickly disappeared. "Okay."

The two toasted each other and drank several glasses.

Xie Qingyu watched as Luo Qingran's initially nervous and guilty expression gradually disappeared after drinking one glass of wine after another, replaced by a cautious observation of Prince Shen's expression.

After drinking a few cups, King Shen stopped talking and propped his head up with one hand, as if he were dozing off with his eyes closed.

"Your Highness?" Luo Qingran called out tentatively.

King Shen did not answer.

"Your Highness?" Luo Qingran's voice rose, and her eyes lit up, but Prince Shen still did not respond.

"The prince is probably drunk. Help him back to his room."

Luo Qingran got up to help her, but she didn't expect that she herself was a little unsteady on her feet. Her maid immediately went to support her.

She had only brought two maids with her, but after looking around, she pointed at Xie Qingyu and told her to help Prince Shen back to his room.

Xie Qingyu stepped forward, took one of Shen Wang's arms, and put it on her shoulder. She had originally planned to ask Xinping to come in and help, but it was really difficult to bring a grown man back.

However, when she easily pulled King Shen up, she gave up the idea.

Luo Qingran appeared more lucid than Prince Shen, though he was slightly unsteady on his feet.

Xie Qingyu followed behind, feeling the hand around her waist taking the opportunity to cause trouble, and she had an urge to abandon him there.

Judging from his demeanor, he's clearly not drunk at all; he's perfectly sober.

I wonder what kind of wicked scheme they're plotting this time.

Two maids helped Luo Qingran to the prince's bedroom, and after escorting her inside, they immediately withdrew.

Xie Qingyu helped Prince Shen into the bedroom, while Luo Qingran, with her back to them, surveyed the room by candlelight.

After they came in, someone closed the door behind them.

Before Xie Qingyu could even pay attention, she saw the person who had been relying on her outside straighten up after entering, stride up behind Luo Qingran, and strike her. Luo Qingran then collapsed limply.

Changfeng, who had been inside the room at some point, emerged from the shadows behind the door, took Luo Qingran from his hand, and walked behind the screen.

It was unclear where Changfeng had taken the person. When he returned, he handed the gold bracelet to Prince Shen before leaving.

It was the very bracelet that Luo Qingran had just been wearing on her wrist. Before Prince Shen returned, Xie Qingyu noticed that she would touch it from time to time.

Seeing Xie Qingyu's curious gaze, Prince Shen picked up the bracelet and fiddled with it for a bit. A small mechanism popped open, revealing what was inside.

King Shen stretched out his other hand and poured out some brown powder.

"Do you know what this is?" King Shen asked.

Xie Qingyu shook her head.

"An aphrodisiac." Prince Shen dipped his finger in it and looked at Xie Qingyu.

Xie Qingyu stared in surprise at his actions. "Do you want to try?"
