Prince Shen raised an eyebrow, holding up the powder on his hand. "Would you like me to try it?"

After saying that, King Shen looked up and looked around the room. "There is no one else in this room."

There was no one else around; he wanted to try more than just the medicine, he also wanted to try Xie Qingyu.

Xie Qingyu reached out and took Shen Wang's fingers, took out a handkerchief from her bosom and carefully wiped them, then said cautiously, "Your Highness has no need for such things."

Xie Qingyu's direct admission of defeat showed a more lively side than usual.

Prince Shen stopped teasing her and said with a smile, "This medicine has no aphrodisiac effect."

Xie Qingyu stopped wiping and looked up at him. Seeing the smile in his eyes, she stuffed the handkerchief into his hand and ignored him.

Prince Shen silently put away the handkerchief in his hand, then closed the bracelet again and put it away.

"Are you pretending to be drunk to play along?" Xie Qingyu knew that Prince Shen knew something was wrong with the princess as soon as he started drinking.

"It's not the wine that makes people drunk, but what's in the wine." King Shen's voice turned cold as he fiddled with the bracelet on his wrist.

Xie Qingyu's mind worked incredibly fast, and she immediately grasped the key point: "Only when the two things are together do they have an aphrodisiac effect?"

King Shen's eyes were filled with admiration.

"Where did Changfeng take her?" Xie Qingyu was quite familiar with the house, yet she didn't know there was another exit inside.

"Go where she wants to go, and you'll find out soon enough." Prince Shen's expression was resolute as he leaned closer and whispered a few words to Xie Qingyu.

Xie Qingyu raised an eyebrow and looked at him when she heard about the roles he had assigned her and the subsequent plans.

Prince Shen was not mocked by the meaning in her eyes, but said with an expectant tone, "It all depends on you."

Watching Xie Qingyu leave, Prince Shen's smile vanished, and he placed the bracelet on the table, staring at it coldly.

His dear mother is probably leisurely waiting for good news.

Whether it's news that he's impotent or news that he's harmed his body by taking medication, it will satisfy her.

As Xie Qingyu and Luo Qingran's maidservant's voices faded into the distance, Prince Shen waited for a while before going out.

When the two maids returned, the door to King Shen's room was open, but no one was inside.

The maid Su Huan, who returned first, looked like she had found a savior when she saw Su Xi come back. "The prince and the princess are not inside."

"Don't rush." ​​Su Xi was obviously more valued in normal times, and she was more composed in this situation. Behind her was the imperial physician, the one who always treated Prince Shen, whom Xie Qingyu had just asked to invite.

"Let me go in and take a look." The sight of the door opening made Su Xi panic. No one knew the situation better than her.

"What happened?" Xie Qingyu asked the two people inside as she returned with a bowl of hangover soup.

At this moment, Xie Qingyu, the head maid of the front courtyard, clearly had more say. "I don't know. When we came back, the door was wide open, and neither the prince nor the princess was inside... Remembering that Sister Qingyu just said that the prince was not feeling well and was afraid of delaying the imperial physician's consultation, we came in to take a look."

Su Xi spoke first to explain why the two of them entered Prince Shen's room without their master's permission.

Xie Qingyu went inside and put down the hangover soup. Now that it was dark, there wasn't even an old woman in the yard, so she didn't know who to ask.

Just as Su Xi and Su Huan were about to ask Xie Qingyu something, a corner of the garden suddenly became lively. The three of them looked at each other and hurried over there together.

When they arrived at the courtyard, a large crowd had already gathered there.

They even encountered the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince, who were looking for Prince Shen, when Xie Qingyu and the others arrived.

Seeing their flustered state, the Seventh Prince stopped Xie Qingyu after she finished her greetings. "What's going on? Why are you in such a panic, bringing the imperial physician with you?"

After saying this, he seemed to think of Prince Shen's health, "Has something happened to Fifth Brother?"

"No, our prince only had a little wine with the princess and is a bit tipsy, so we sent the imperial physician to take a look."

"Since you've sent the imperial physician to take a look, what's all this rush about?" the Third Prince asked.

Before Xie Qingyu could answer, they noticed that a part of the garden had become messy.

Seeing the panic on the faces of the maids, the two women didn't say a word, but turned around and led the people behind them in that direction.

When the group arrived in a grand procession, they found the courtyard in complete disarray.

The door to a house was wide open, revealing a man frantically putting on his shirt and a woman desperately trying to dodge on the bed.

"What's going on?" the Seventh Prince roared.

The servants working in the garden and the guards who rushed over upon hearing the news immediately bowed to the two princes.

The guards looked at each other, but none of them stepped forward to answer.

Seeing that the Seventh Prince was about to lose his temper, one of them stepped forward with a stiff upper lip. "Your Highness, we heard some noise in this uninhabited courtyard while we were on patrol, so we came in to check it out, and... and we found that people were having an affair here."

The guard recounted the events in just a few words.

"Who is inside?" the Third Prince asked, stepping forward.

What he didn't see was the panicked expression on Su Huan and Su Xi's faces when they saw the clothes on the ground.

"This is a steward from the Prince's residence." The guard brought forward the man, who was wearing a haphazardly wrapped coat.

When the guards rushed in, they probably already saw who the woman inside was, but at that moment no one dared to say anything.

Although the Seventh Prince was quick-tempered and easily angered, he was not stupid, having grown up in the royal family. He could tell from the guards' expressions that something was wrong.

"Has someone been sent to inform Fifth Brother?"

"I've already sent someone."

As their conversation ended, King Shen entered from outside the courtyard. He looked pale and appeared as if he might collapse at any moment.

"What happened?" King Shen asked as he entered, his voice weak.

"What's wrong with you?" The Third Prince stepped forward to help Prince Shen up.

King Shen waved his hand, indicating that he was still able to manage.

"Go and see for yourself." At this moment, the Seventh Prince didn't even care how Shen Wang had gotten into such a state overnight; he only wanted to make sure Shen Wang wasn't so excited when he saw the scene inside.

Prince Shen was taken aback by the Seventh Prince's words and took a few steps forward.

When he saw the man being held captive on the ground and the faceless person on the bed, his expression vanished, and his figure seemed to sway.

The Seventh Prince couldn't help but want to step forward and help him up, while the Third Prince wished he hadn't come today.

They just had to witness this embarrassing scene with their own eyes.

"Su Huan, Su Xi," Prince Shen's voice was devoid of any emotion. "Go and help your queen dress."

King Shen's words made everyone present wish they could shrink into quails. Su Xi and Su Huan had no choice but to step forward hesitantly, trembling.
