The story begins with a bowl of porridge in the evening.

Although it is early spring, the chill in the mountains is still strong, especially after nightfall, when the cold can still seep into your bones.

Whether it was because she had been enjoying the cool air last night or not, Mei Wanqing felt drowsy and unwell when she woke up this morning, especially with no appetite and no desire to eat anything.

Throughout the day, she only drank a few sips of water and did not eat anything else.

This worried Qiaoque greatly. So, she borrowed the small kitchen from the temple and personally cooked a pot of porridge for Mei Wanqing. After the porridge was served, Mei Wanqing suddenly felt hungry and asked for a bowl.

Gan Cai'er instinctively felt there was something wrong with the porridge, so she tried to stop it with various excuses, but Mei Wanqing had been starving all day and was indeed hungry. A hungry person facing a steaming bowl of delicious food is impossible to dissuade. Even if Gan Cai'er immediately went back to make a fresh batch, it would be too late.

Finally, she gritted her teeth, stamped her foot, and drank two bowls of porridge with Mei Wanqing.

Then, sure enough, her head began to spin. Then she saw Xiao Hong's panicked expression, and then she collapsed in front of her. Afterwards, she vaguely heard Qiao Que laughing at Xiao Hong.

"Hehe, I was careless last time and you ambushed me. This time, I'll let you taste the effects of the bewitching incense. Just lie there and wait. When you wake up, you won't remember anything and you'll be a fool."

"Hahaha~~~"

In her dazed state, the only thing Gan Cai'er could hear was Qiao Que's wild and joyful laughter.

Xuanqing, where is Xuanqing? She was anxious, but she couldn't utter a sound.

Xuanqing was squatting on the roof at that moment.

"Boss, should we go down and rescue them?" Xuanbing asked with a gesture.

Xuan Qing shook his head. Meng Yu hadn't given any instructions yesterday, just that they shouldn't interfere. As for why they shouldn't interfere, he didn't know.

But he was a member of the Black Eagle Guard. He had to carry out his lord's orders, whether he understood them or not.

Not long after, before it had completely darkened, Mingjue arrived. He pushed open the door and saw three people lying haphazardly in the room, and couldn't help but frown.

"Why are there two more people coming out?"

"They came to cause trouble at the last minute, and they wouldn't leave no matter how we tried to get rid of them. This Madam Lan is really strange; I don't know if she guessed something, so she simply drugged them all," Qiaoque said.

"Then what to do now?"

"Come quickly and lend a hand to move these two to my and Qiaoyan's room."

So, Gan Cai'er and Xiao Hong were moved to the room next door.

"Why couldn't you let them leave?" Qiaoyan asked.

"Who knows what's wrong with her? She won't leave no matter how much we try to shoo her away." Qiaoque was panting heavily.

"Yan'er, after an incense stick has burned, go find the abbot and tell him I'm unconscious. Ask him to send someone to check on me. Then you can lead the person to the next room. That will settle things."

Qiaoyan nodded.

At this moment, Qiaoque scooped up a bowl of porridge and finished it in a few gulps. Not long after, she collapsed limply, losing consciousness just like Gan Cai'er and Mei Wanqing.

Qiaoyan and Jueming helped the woman to bed and settled her in. Then Jueming headed towards Mei Wanqing's room. Before he could even enter, a whooshing sound came from behind him. With a "whoosh," Jueming felt a sharp pain in his knee. With a "thud," he collapsed to the ground. As he tried to get up to check, a sudden pain shot through the back of his neck, and he instantly lost consciousness.

Meng Yu walked slowly out from not far away with his hands behind his back. He was accompanied by two people: Xuan Lei and a female Xuan Ying Guard.

"Go and see what kind of drugs were used." Meng Yu raised his chin and pointed into the room.

"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."

At this moment, Xuanqing and the others appeared and came over to greet Meng Yu.

A moment later, Xuan Lei returned to report.

"Reporting to the Third Young Master, the porridge contains Three-Breath Powder, a potent sedative that takes effect very quickly, hence its name. However, this drug works quickly but also wears off quickly, usually within half an hour."

“Miss Mei, Miss Lan, and Miss Qiaoque were all poisoned by the Three Breaths Powder, while Miss Xiaohong was poisoned by the Bewitching Incense. There are marks on her Fengchi acupoint where she was pricked with silver needles.”

"In addition, this was found on Jueming."

As he spoke, Xuan Lei handed over a small porcelain bottle. It was the same small bottle that Qiao Que had given to Ming Jue last night.

After taking it, Meng Yu raised an eyebrow and said lazily, "It's an aphrodisiac, isn't it?"

“Yes, a potent aphrodisiac.” Xuan Lei nodded.

"Tsk, tsk, these women's petty tricks are as sordid and annoying as ever." Meng Yu sneered with disdain.

"Since they enjoy performing so much, let them perform to their heart's content. Someone, move Qiaoque and Jueming together and feed them the medicine."

"Xuan Ying, carry Mei Wanqing and come with me to the Heavenly King's Palace."

Afterwards, Meng Yu went into the house, personally picked up the pot of porridge that was not yet finished, took the bowl, and went to the Heavenly King's Hall.

As soon as the Xuan Ying Guards followed behind him, their eyelids twitched incessantly; they had a feeling that this Third Young Master was up to no good again.

Meng Yan was quite surprised to see Meng Yu come again. He was even more surprised to see that Meng Yu was carrying a pot of porridge.

"What are you doing? Where did this porridge come from?"

Meng Yu slammed the pot on the ground and said, "This is porridge cooked by Miss Mei. She couldn't come today, so I brought it to her."

“She already delivered dinner last night.” Meng Yan felt inexplicably wary.

"Heh, look at you. Can't you have some supper after dinner?" Meng Yu said impatiently. "Fine, if you don't want it, I'll just pour it out. If she cries her eyes out later, I won't care."

Upon hearing the mention of Mei Wanqing's crying, Meng Yan suddenly froze, an image flashing before his eyes of Mei Wanqing with red eyes, silently shedding tears, drop by drop...

So, Meng Yan poured himself a bowl of porridge, tilted his head back, and finished it in a few gulps. When he realized something was wrong, he only saw Meng Yu gloating and giving him a strange laugh.

Meng Yan sensed that something was very wrong, but there was nothing he could do.

Meng Yu beckoned Xuan Ying to bring Mei Wanqing in, and then he placed the two of them together. After arranging them, he tilted his head, looked them over for a while, and then adjusted them into a very ambiguous position, having Meng Yan embrace Mei Wanqing.

To prevent Meng Yan from reneging on his promise later, Meng Yu stripped off all of his clothes, revealing his broad chest.

The Xuan Ying Guards were all terrified.

"Third Young Master, this is absolutely unacceptable!!"

"Third Young Master, please be cautious!"

"If the young master wakes up, he'll kill people~~~"

......

"Tsk, what are you afraid of?" Meng Yu scoffed impatiently.

"If the sky falls, I'll hold it up. If my brother wants to blame someone, he should blame me first, not you."

"Go, all of you go outside and keep watch. No one is allowed to come in until the abbot arrives with his men."

After posing the two people as he wanted, Meng Yu clapped his hands and stood up, quite satisfied.

Then, he strode away with an air of nonchalance.

In their past lives, both of them died young, one at eighteen and the other at thirty. He only hoped that in this life, they could have a good ending, and even if they couldn't be together, at least live many more years.

After Meng Yu left, the group of Xuan Ying Guards stood there looking at each other, feeling uneasy. They didn't know what madness this young master was going through again, or whether the young master would kill the Third Young Master first or kill them to silence them after he woke up.

The next day, Gan Cai'er woke up in the bamboo grove villa. After Zhu Xiaoxiao told her the shocking gossip from the previous night, she was speechless with astonishment.

What?! Mei Wanqing and Meng Yan were caught cheating?!

Moreover, Jueming died.
