Cold-faced Empress

"Just throw it away too... Waaah, just throw it away!"

She cried and, before he could react, knocked over his hand warmer.

Clang! The hand warmer fell over with a loud thud, making his indifferent face appear even more unmoved. But the sound seemed to comfort her; she gave a heavy "hmm" to the hand warmer, then, with a satisfied expression, grabbed both of his hands.

Holding his hands, she pressed her face against them. The coolness immediately cooled the heat on her cheeks, making her hum softly in comfort.

"Uh...uh..."

With squinting eyes, pouting lips, and a honeyed voice, it hummed softly.

All her words and actions made Mo Canglan seriously doubt whether she was under the influence of traditional Chinese medicine or drunk!

Seeing that her flushed face quickly returned to normal color, he forcefully pulled his hands back to prevent her face from freezing stiff in a little while.

Not only did he pull his hands away, but he also refused to have any further contact with her. If it weren't for the effects of the drug on her, even this brief contact would have been unbearable for her.

Without the comfortable coolness, Fu Siying's eyes drooped, like an abandoned puppy staring at him, pleading pitifully with a tearful voice: "Please touch me."

Mo Canglan's brow twitched, and she abruptly closed her eyes, turning her head away, while the folding fan in her hand remained firmly pressed between him and her.

Fu Siying cried the whole way back to the Prince Mu's mansion.

"Waaah, please touch me."

"I feel so bad, so sad, so heartbroken."

"My cheeks are burning hot."

Inside the carriage, she had to endure the sweltering heat, and he had to endure the chill of the night; both suffered, yet they were not of one mind.

Upon returning to the Prince Mu's residence, Mo Canglan immediately ordered someone to instruct Physician Liu to treat Fu Siying.

After parting ways with Mo Canglan, Fu Siying became even more difficult to serve. The maids of the Prince's mansion had to forcibly hold her in order to allow the Physician Liu to calmly take her pulse and examine her condition.

Mo Canglan waited in the warm bedroom for a while, and then Liu Yisheng, who had examined her pulse, came to report solemnly: "The medicine is not very strong, and there is no need for an antidote. Miss Fu can just bear it."

"Let her bear it?" Just thinking about Fu Siying's whimpering gave Mo Canglan a headache. "Since the medicine isn't very strong, why not give her a sedative and let her sleep it off?"

Liu Yisheng explained, "It's because the dosage of medicine that Miss Fu took was not large, which is why the medicine seemed less effective, rather than because the medicine itself was weak. Ordinary sedatives cannot suppress it, and the antidote for this poison is harmful to the body. Miss Fu should just endure the heat and restlessness tonight."

"I think she's confused now."

"These kinds of poisons all have the effect of disrupting people's minds, and different people will have different symptoms. If Miss Fu is drunk, she will probably exhibit similar symptoms."

Therefore, Ning Ruicheng, that dissolute young man, became unrestrained after taking the medicine, openly displaying his shameless and depraved bestial nature, while Fu Siying...

Mo Canglan rubbed his brow.

She became completely opposite to her usual self?

"Your Highness, you don't look well. Did you catch a chill just now, or did you use your powers?"

“Hmm,” Mo Canglan said briefly, “just for a moment.”

Liu Yisheng immediately showed anger: "The cold poison in your body is getting worse. You were just pulled back from the brink of death a few days ago. You must take good care of yourself! If you don't cooperate, even if I were a reincarnated immortal, I could not save you!"

As they were talking, a commotion and commotion suddenly broke out at the door. The guard, Fang Zhi, had no choice but to stop them, and Fu Siying was crying uncontrollably as if she had been bullied.
