Prince Jin's Mansion.

Jun Lanjin, dressed in a dark black robe, lay on a chaise lounge, one hand lazily supporting his forehead, the other resting on the table, as Ximen Zhu took his pulse.

After a long silence, Ximen Zhu lowered his hand with a stern face: "If you use your internal energy again, even if the King of Heaven himself came, he couldn't save you."

Jun Lanjin wearily raised his eyes, sighed softly, slumped into the chair behind him, and drawled, "Ah, there's nothing I can do about it."

"There are so many things to do every day, it's really a headache."

As he spoke, he rubbed his temples with his long, slender fingers.

Ximen Zhu snorted coldly: "Master will be able to send the medicine over in a few days, which will temporarily suppress the poison in your body."

"If medicine doesn't work, we'll have to resort to Gu poison."

"In Miao territory, there is a type of Gu worm called the King of a Hundred Poisons. Once the Gu is inserted into the body, one becomes immune to all poisons."

Upon hearing this, Jun Lanjin sat up slightly straighter: "Hmm?"

"Why not just look for the Gu directly?"

Ximen Zhu rolled his eyes: "You think this Gu is easy to find?"

"Instead of trying to find the King of All Poisons, it's better to wait for your master to make you an antidote."

"The King of Hundred Poison Gu is extremely rare. First of all, the person who raises the Gu is very particular. He must be a boy born in an yin year, yin month, and yin hour, and be fed with his heart's blood from birth."

"In Miao areas, women mostly inherit the art of Gu, while men are less common. Furthermore, the conditions for raising Gu are extremely difficult, and the Gu maker dies before the Gu is fully formed."

"When the person who raises Gu dies, the Gu worms will naturally die as well."

"Moreover, this Gu is extremely precious, with only one Gu appearing every hundred years."

Jun Lanjin slowly lay back down: "In that case, it's even harder to find than the white lotus of the snow mountain."

Ximen Zhu sighed: "If you keep doing this, forget about finding an antidote to heal your broken body. Before the antidote even arrives, you'll be dead."

Jun Lanjin stroked the teacup with his fingers and said calmly, "I won't die that soon."

Ximen Zhu inserted a few needles into his body, put away his tools, and said, "It's true, it's a good thing you found out early. You went from a healthy body to this dilapidated state."

It was discovered early, and the previous disguise was torn away. To completely eradicate the problem, it was necessary to stimulate the slow-acting poison to take effect quickly.

Jun Lanjin put down his teacup and casually picked up a small trinket, fiddling with it in his hand.

Ximen Zhu saw the little gadget and exclaimed "Hey!" He took the gadget from Jun Lanjin's hand; it was a colored clay chibi-style figurine.

This little guy looks exactly like Jun Lanjin, even his expression is the same.

Ximen Zhu had never seen anything like this before. Holding it in his hands, he looked at Jun Lanjin with some curiosity: "This thing is interesting. Where did you get it?"

"Can you make one for me too?"

Hua An smiled and said, "Dr. Ximen, this was given to my lord by the fifth young lady of the General of the State's Mansion."

"They sent a lot."

As he spoke, Hua An brought over a box, opened it, and took a look.

Ximen Zhu gasped. Inside were all sorts of Jun Lanjins, some standing, some sitting, some lying down, each wearing different clothes.

He casually picked out one of the clay figurines from inside and said with a smile, "This girl has a lot of clever ideas; she can actually make so many strange little gadgets."

This thing looks quite nice in the study.

"More than that..." Hua An brought over a bunch of trinkets, "These were all made by the Fifth Miss herself."

Although they are just small trinkets, they are exquisite and beautiful, and some can even be used to decorate clothes.

With amazement in his eyes, Ximen Zhu turned to look at Jun Lanjin and said, "This Fifth Miss has really put her heart into you. It seems she really likes you very much."

"Judging from your words, you're not uninterested in Xie Xing either. You should arrange a marriage sooner or later and get married happily."

Ximen Zhu joked.

Jun Lanjin chuckled and tossed the small ornament back into the box, saying casually, "She's treating me like a child."

"Would I like this?"

Hua An carefully arranged the small ornaments, glanced at Jun Lanjin, and whispered to Ximen Zhu, "Your Highness has probably never been treated like a child before. He's curious and wants to try what it's like to be a child."

The prince is talking nonsense. Last time in the lake, he personally witnessed the prince kissing that Miss Xie.

Jun Lanjin: "..."

His face was slightly dark.

Ximen Zhu laughed out loud: "That girl is quite interesting. As she grows up, her beauty will be breathtaking. It's just a pity she was poisoned for half a month..."

"They're a good match for you, two short-lived wretches."

Jun Lanjin's face darkened, and just as he was about to speak, the servant's voice came from outside.

"Your Majesty."

The servant brought Lin Yi over.

Lin Yi held a box in his hands and handed it to Jun Lanjin.

Hua An's eyes lit up when he saw the box, and he immediately went to take it.

Today, Lin Yi came to deliver the things Xie Xing gave to Jun Lanjin.

This box has three layers.

The first layer was still decorated with flower baskets, with countless beautiful flowers clustered in them, looking absolutely gorgeous.

Ximen Zhu approached with some surprise.

"You can do that? These flowers are quite beautiful."

There was a piece of paper on it. When you opened it, you saw a portrait of Jun Lanjin.

This time, the portrait wasn't drawn in a chibi style; instead, the system opened the anime interface and drew it based on the image of Jun Lanjin, adapted from a modern anime.

The painting depicts Jun Lanjin standing atop the Star-Picking Tower, wearing a moon-white cloak. He is tall and slender, with his dark hair flowing down his back. The moonlight shines on him, creating a hazy, ethereal beauty.

Ximen Zhu opened the painting, took it out to look at it, and his eyes widened: "No wonder the rumors say that this girl's painting can surpass that of the Southern Kingdom's princess. The painting is indeed very good."

"This painting technique is unprecedented and unheard of."

Junlan took the painting.

The second layer contains food made by Xie Xing, including small cakes that can only be found in modern times.

Jun Lanjin stared at the cake for a long time before having the third layer opened.

The third floor still contains small ornaments made by Xie Xing himself, all of which are related to Jun Lanjin.

If one didn't know that Xie Xingji was just a powerless young girl, this scene would really resemble a perverted man secretly spying on Jun Lanjin.

To outsiders, this seems like an extreme display of love.

After looking at the items, Lin Yi quietly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Jun Lanjin.

The paper records what happened to Xie Xing at the Crown Prince's residence today.

At first, Jun Lanjin was able to watch calmly and composedly, but when he saw Luo Hanfeng holding Xie Xing in his arms, kissing and nibbling at him, the leisurely expression on his face gradually faded, and finally turned into a blank expression.

Jun Lanjin held the paper in his palm, then crushed it to shreds, before letting out a cold laugh: "Throw her things out for me."

Hua An, unaware of what Jun Lanjin had seen, was about to look for him when Jun Lanjin paused and spoke again:

"All."

"Your Highness?" Hua An asked, puzzled.
