The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

Poor Chuanwu had no idea that Jin Chenyuan, who was discussing matters with the Emperor in the palace, abandoned the Emperor and hurriedly left the palace after receiving a message from Huanyun and Huang Zhong that Yue Li had entered this famous street in the capital while strolling along the long street.

This is why Jin Chenyuan has not arrived here yet. After all, if he were at Prince Chen's residence, Huang Zhong would probably have invited Jin Chenyuan long ago.

Unfortunately, the Emperor summoned Jin Chenyuan to the palace for a meeting in the evening.

Huang Zhong only learned that Jin Chenyuan had been summoned to the palace by the Emperor after he arrived at Prince Chen's residence.

He spent some time finding Huan Yun, who hadn't accompanied her master to the palace that day and was resting in her room. After explaining the situation, he went to the palace with Huan Yun to inform Jin Chenyuan.

It wasn't that Huang Zhong didn't want to go to the palace immediately and insisted on finding Huan Yun, but rather that only the master's four personal guards had the waist tokens to enter the palace.

Even if Huang Zhong ran to the palace, he would be blocked at the palace gate and unable to enter.

Seeing that Yue Li didn't seem to want to go anywhere else, Chuan Wu knew that she was preparing to go back.

Chuan Wu immediately perked up and followed Yue Li from a distance.

He had to ensure Yue Li's safety before he could safely deliver her to the inn.

At this moment, Yue Li, who had just walked a short distance from Le Xiang Ge, felt her body getting hot.

This heatwave was even more intense than the one in the Enjoy Pavilion. As always, Yue Li circulated the spiritual energy in her body, and the folding fan in her hand was almost blurry from her movements. However, the heat only lessened a bit and did not completely subside.

"Why is it so hot?" She tugged at her collar, pulling it open in front of her chest, trying to cool herself down.

What Yue Li didn't know was that in these places of entertainment, the drinks they served were usually laced with drugs to enhance arousal, but they added very little, since they were just doing business, not specifically drugging people.

Such a dosage is only meant to enhance the intimacy between the two parties. If someone with a high alcohol tolerance drinks this drugged wine, they will only need to endure it for a while before the effects wear off.

If Yue Li hadn't used her spiritual power to alleviate the effects after drinking the drugged wine, given her physical condition, the drug's effects would have worn off quickly. Right now, she would only feel slightly tipsy.

Unfortunately, when her body first experienced this unusual sensation, she habitually circulated her spiritual energy, and at that time, although the effects of the medicine were somewhat relieved.

However, the effects of the medicine were suppressed within her body instead of being released.

Next, Yue Li drank another pot of wine laced with medicine. Sure enough, after leaving the Le Xiang Pavilion, the new medicinal power, along with the medicinal power she had suppressed in her body, surged through her body.

Yue Li had never taken this kind of medicine before. Such medicine, in small doses, is, to put it nicely, meant to enhance one's pleasure.

However, if the dosage is large, it's essentially an aphrodisiac.

Yue Li, who had never taken aphrodisiacs, was unaware that the heat in her body was a symptom of having taken them.

At this moment, she was simply circulating her spiritual energy to alleviate the heat, hoping to dispel it with her spiritual power.

However, this medicinal power will not dissipate; it will remain in the body, and Yue Li's body will become increasingly hot.

This creates an endless loop.

However, because Yue Li had been drinking and was already somewhat drunk, the effects of the drug made her head feel fuzzy and she just wanted to cool off as quickly as possible.

So when Chuanwu, who was following behind, noticed that something was wrong with Yue Li, Yue Li's face was already flushed and her mind was somewhat confused.

"Young Master Yue, are you alright?" When Chuan Wu noticed that Yue Li, who was walking ahead, was acting strangely, he stopped worrying and immediately caught up with her.

Then came this scene: Yue Li's eyes were glazed over, her face was flushed, and her collar was torn and disheveled.

Seeing Yue Li like this, what else could Chuan Wu not understand?

It was his carelessness; he was only thinking about whether Yue Li would do something in the pleasure room, like finding someone to keep her company.

But they forgot that in such places, the drinks served are all spiked.

However, what he couldn't understand was that during their journey back to Kyoto, he had gotten to know a little about Yue Li's personality.

If Yue Li had only drunk the drinks at Le Xiang Ge, she wouldn't be like this, right?

Could it be that she was drugged at the Le Xiang Ge?

But now is not the time to get to the bottom of things. What should they do now that Yue Li is in this state?

Seeing Yue Li tugging at her clothes again, Chuan Wu, who was trying to figure out a solution, was startled and quickly went to stop her.

"Young Master Yue, Young Master Yue, wake up! My dear aunt! Please don't move again, my life is in your hands!" Chuan Wu's panicked words were incoherent. He didn't even know what he was saying anymore, but he was focused on stopping Yue Li's movements.

To this end, he even grabbed Yue Li's arm, which was trying to pull at her clothes.

However, at this moment, not only were the aftereffects of the sweet wine Yue Li drank at Le Xiang Ge kicking in, but the effects of the medicine in her body also fully erupted.

As Chuanwu approached, Yue Li felt a cool touch on her arm and instinctively moved closer to the cool spot.

Suddenly being pressed close to Yue Li, Chuan Wu felt not the excitement of finally having a woman close to him and the sensation of her warm and soft body in his arms, but rather as if struck by lightning, his scalp about to explode.

Instinctively, Chuan Wu darted away. Seeing Yue Li stumble and almost fall to the ground because of his sudden movement, Chuan Wu didn't reach out to help her. Instead, he took two steps back, patted his chest, and muttered with relief, "Luckily, luckily! I reacted quickly. Otherwise, if Master saw this person leaning on me, he would probably tear me to pieces and still not be satisfied."

Because of this sudden accident, Yue Li regained some of her rationality. She looked at Chuan Wu, who was practically eight feet away from her, and after a while, she recognized him as the person Jin Chenyuan had sent to secretly protect her.

At this moment, she realized that something was wrong with her body. She looked at Chuanwu and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Seeing that Yue Li had regained some of her senses, Chuan Wu dared not delay and immediately stepped forward to bow and say, "Your subordinate is sent by Prince Chen to protect you. I am Chuan Wu. As for your current physical discomfort, it is because you drank the wine at Le Xiang Ge. The wine at Le Xiang Ge is laced with drugs that enhance arousal."

"You mean I was poisoned!" At this moment, Yue Li, whose head was dizzy, could only extract this information from Chuan Wu's words.

Biting her tongue, the pain brought Yue Li back to her senses.
