The Qin Dynasty entered the game with love.

When Ying Ji woke up early in the morning, she felt cold all over and couldn't help but want to touch Zhang Liang beside her.

But when she touched the man's arm, she felt extremely nauseous.

I forcibly suppressed the feeling and withdrew my hand.

I got up to wash up, looked at the sky, and saw that it was already getting light. Suddenly, I felt a pang of longing for Ruoshui.

This longing came suddenly but overwhelmingly. Ying Ji, who always liked to follow her heart, naturally slipped into the side hall.

There were no palace maids or guards inside or outside the room. Ying Ji was about to frown, but she held back.

She tiptoed in and saw Ruoshui lying on the bed in a loose white dress, her hair disheveled, her lips pursed, and her eyes red.

Ying Ji approached and met Ruo Shui's clear gaze.

The man blinked and gave a bitter smile: "Even in my dreams, you're this indifferent."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to sleep.

Yingji found the man really cute and immediately hugged him from behind, fully clothed.

Ruoshui stiffened, turned her head to check, and rubbed her eyes cutely. After confirming that it wasn't a dream, she turned around and hugged Yingji.

His eyes were glistening with moisture, and the corners of his taut lips were turned up in a smile, showing that he was in a good mood.

"I thought you didn't want to talk to me anymore."

Yingji found Ruoshui's scent extremely pleasant, especially the area near her neck, which smelled sweet. She couldn't resist burying her face in her mouth and taking a bite.

It sucked and bit, and soon its neck was covered in mottled colors.

Ruoshui blushed deeply, and her eyes, filled with alluring charm, made her appear even more captivating.

After enjoying herself to the fullest, Ying Ji finally calmed down and said, "I was injured by smallpox a few days ago, and I relied entirely on Liang Cejun for care. Now, this respect should be given to him."

If it were anyone else, they certainly wouldn't believe this, but Ruoshui, her eyes filled with emotion, threw herself into his arms: "I knew it, but I was so scared. You suddenly got smallpox, it terrified me."

Liangcejun instructed me not to leave the manor, but Baicejun went too, and I... I still couldn't resist. Even just seeing you from afar would have been enough, but you haven't come these past few days...

The unspoken words were filled with deep panic, like a puppy afraid of being abandoned by its owner after seeing a prettier kitten.

Yingji felt a warmth in her heart and pressed her forehead against Ruoshui's: "Don't be afraid, I just couldn't help coming to see you now that I'm feeling better."

"Mmm," Ruoshui said in a cheerful and coquettish tone, "Then how about I take care of you today?"

Ying Ji nodded. She didn't know why, but whenever Ruoshui was around, she couldn't help but want to hug her, and ideally, tie her to her side.

I don't feel this way when I'm away from people, but now that I haven't seen them for several days, this feeling is much stronger.

Ying Ji couldn't quite accept this uncontrollable emotion, and planned to send Ruoshui to learn etiquette after today, so that she could also welcome General Huan Yi back to Xianyang.

Zhang Liang got up as soon as Ying Ji left, thinking about his actions just now, and confirmed one thing.

Ying Ji was indeed poisoned. The onset of the poison occurred about 7 days ago. She didn't feel anything unusual, but she refused to touch any men, except for Ruoshui.

Zhang Liang took out the medical book that Yuan Ge had given him and continued to search through it, but he couldn't find a single ailment that matched the description.

Just as they were struggling with their decision, Bai Changchuan pushed open the door and entered, carrying a familiar food box.

The man was taken aback when he saw that only Zhang Liang had entered: "Where is the princess?"

Zhang Liang pointed in the direction of Ruoshui.

Bai Changchuan understood and placed the food box on the table: "Since you've gone out to hunt for food, let's eat."

Zhang Liang looked at Bai Changchuan and found the man truly interesting: "Aren't you curious why you insist on talking about human beings?"

Bai Changchuan sat down skillfully: "You won't tell me even if I ask, so I'm too lazy to ask. You cunning people are all good at keeping things mysterious. You'll explain when the results come out."

Zhang Liang picked up the bowl of rice porridge and drank it: "Hmm, not bad."

It's unclear whether this statement is saying the rice porridge is good, or that Bai Changchuan's words are correct; it could also be a double entendre.

Bai Changchuan sat opposite him, picked up a bowl of rice porridge and gulped it down. The rice porridge was still hot from the pot, and the temperature was just right.

Zhang Liang admired Bai Changchuan's mindset, but instead of expressing his discomfort, he explained: "Firstly, the more we refuse, the more the princess might increase Ruoshui's appeal to her."

Secondly, regarding the smallpox issue, there was already a reliable solution. The smallpox pods placed on you were useless against the princess; the poison was merely similar to smallpox and would not be fatal.

Thirdly, if water must be kept nearby, it's best to keep it within easy reach.

Fourthly, it will elevate our status in the Queen's heart, so that the King of Qin won't make any further moves. Now that the army has returned, he simply doesn't want to deal with these trivial matters for the time being.

Fifth, the test results showed that the virus takes about 7 days to manifest, with symptoms including an inability to touch other men. Other cases will require further testing, and it cannot be ruled out that the timeframe may be shorter.

I've already asked Yuan Ge to borrow some medical books to look at, but so far I haven't found any cases of this illness. However, it's not appropriate to ask Bian Le about this; if word gets out, someone will definitely make a big deal out of it.

Bai Changchuan nodded: "Your mind is indeed sharp."

Zhang Liang didn't feel flattered: "So, once you're in the army, you don't even want to use your brain anymore?"

Bai Changchuan forcefully flicked the chopsticks between his two fingers, and Zhang Liang hurriedly turned to the side, but still got a scratch on his face.

"Haven't you heard the saying 'Don't mess with someone bigger than you'? I may not be that cunning, but I do have some martial arts skills."

Zhang Liang was speechless, got up and left. This Bai Changchuan was becoming increasingly rude, and he was a completely different person from the man in the previous information.
