Chapter 179 Didn't you get to the bed first?

Upon seeing Qin Su, a hint of surprise flashed in Eunuch Liu's eyes. He nodded and said, "We've found out that the poisoner was a new maid who cleans the Empress's palace. The Censorate has already taken her away, and we'll have the results soon."

"In the Empress's palace..."

Seeing Qin Su's surprised and frightened expression, Eunuch Liu reassured her, "Miss Sangsang, there's no need to worry. His Highness is a lucky person and will be fine. As for the rest, the Court of Judicial Review and the Ministry of Justice will handle the investigation."

Qin Su nodded: "I came to ask my father-in-law to prepare some hot water..."

Eunuch Liu readily agreed and immediately instructed the palace servants to make the arrangements.

Qin Su stood there watching the busy old eunuch directing the work, the fear in her eyes fading, leaving only deep thought: "Something's not right."

System alert: [Something's not right? Could it be that someone in the Crown Prince's palace poisoned him?]

Qin Su: "Eunuch Liu's reaction is inappropriate."

Based on their previous interactions, she never doubted Eunuch Liu's loyalty to the "Crown Prince." He was more worried about him than his own parents were about any danger he might be in.

But when he heard that the Criminal Investigation Department had caught the murderer, he was nervous and worried, but not angry.

For some reason, Qin Su felt a vague unease rising in her heart.

However, before she could think for long, she heard a sound behind her; it was the imperial physician coming out after removing the needles.

She regained her composure and turned to walk over.
-
"His Highness was poisoned with the same poison used in the Xia Kingdom before. Fortunately, there was still an antidote, which we have given him. But the problem remains..."

The imperial physician paused, his brow furrowed with worry: "During this period, someone must be by his side to keep a close eye on his condition, and any problems must be reported promptly."

Just as Eunuch Liu was about to say, "You, a doctor, aren't staying by his side? Are you going to run away?", he heard the imperial physician say, "The timing of His Highness's illness and fainting this time is different from before. I need to discuss this with the other imperial physicians..."

Qin Su's eyes flickered. Of course it was different. With her providing a "sedative" on the side, how could it not be fast?

"Then I'll arrange for palace servants to keep watch. I'll trouble Imperial Physician Su to go as soon as possible..."

"Let me do it."

A slightly hoarse, gentle voice interrupted Eunuch Liu's words. Upon seeing Qin Su, a hint of joy flashed in the old eunuch's eyes.

It's good that Miss Sangsang is going. With her there, His Highness's danger level has been reduced.

However, it wasn't appropriate to say it directly, so Eunuch Liu said, "Miss Sangsang was also frightened just now, she should rest first..."

At this point, he suddenly realized that Qin Su might also be injured based on what had just happened, so he asked the imperial physician to examine her again: "Swords and blades have no eyes, Miss Sangsang, are you injured?"

Qin Su knew that if she were injured, the old eunuch would definitely not allow her to stay. She shook her head with a gentle and relaxed smile: "I'm fine. He... His Highness didn't hurt me." Yeah, right.

If it weren't for the system's emergency response, her hand would be ruined by now.

"So let me stay. I can't rest easy until I see him wake up."

It can only be said that her usual preparations were really good, and no one present doubted the truth in her words.

So, after her repeated insistence, Eunuch Liu could only reluctantly agree: "Then I'll trouble Miss Sangsang to take care of His Highness. I'll arrange two palace maids for you; just let them do whatever they need to do."

Qin Su nodded and then shook her head: "Let the palace servants stand guard at the door. His Highness doesn't like having anyone around him when he's resting."

These words brought a sigh of relief to the palace maids behind her, and they felt grateful to Qin Su.

Given the tyrant's dangerous nature, whoever goes in today is unlikely to survive. Qin Su's words are undoubtedly a lifesaver!
"Okay... then I'll do as you say."

Qin Su nodded and turned to walk towards her room.

Seeing her retreating figure, everyone present was deeply moved: Miss Qin truly loves His Highness...
-
[The host hasn't returned to the Prime Minister's residence, so her scumbag father has personally gone to Chongxian Lane to pick her up.]

As the system voice sounded, Qin Su had just taken the hot towel handed to her by the palace maid. She paused slightly and said, "Hmm, let him go."

As expected, she will not be able to leave the palace until someone comes to their senses.

Qin Su's gaze fell on the handsome face of the man on the bed, who was still handsome even in his unconscious state. His bone structure was superior to the extreme, and his eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as ink paintings. No matter how many times you looked at him, his beauty was amazing.

She took a shallow breath, gathered her scattered thoughts, and gently and carefully wiped the dirt off the man's face.

As she moved, the palace maid beside her held her breath, almost suffocating herself. In the past, when His Highness was unconscious, no one dared to touch him.

As for cleaning and such, he'll take care of that when he wakes up.

Just as rumored, this Miss Qin loves His Highness very much.

The maid wrung out water several more times before she could wipe the man's skin, which was visible to the naked eye.

As he wiped the man's palms, he moved a few times, and the two palace maids almost dropped the basin. After all, who would have thought that these slender, beautiful, and well-defined hands could harvest human lives more easily than harvesting leeks?
It's clearly the hand of the King of Hell!
"Alright, I'll guard this place. You guys go wait outside. I'll call you if I need anything."

Qin Su's words were like a pardon to the two men, who wished they could kneel down and kowtow to her.

The door closed cautiously, and Qin Su then turned her gaze to the man's arm, which had been injured and bandaged at some point.

She could somewhat understand the pain of those palace guards. They wanted to capture someone but couldn't hurt them. What could they do? Of course, they could only pay with their lives, but whose life isn't a life?

"You're such an annoying person!"

Her slender, pale fingers lightly touched the man's face, about to make contact but then moved away.

"Who poisoned her? Was it really the Empress? Would she be that stupid?"

The girl's questions lingered in the air. When no one was around, she looked at him with indifferent eyes, seemingly devoid of any love.

She slowly leaned down to the man's perfectly sculpted ear, her voice light yet firm:
"I will heal you, I definitely will." Whether you like it or not.
-
The moment Chu Junyan woke up, he felt someone beside him.

His pitch-black eyes flashed with an icy sharpness, his right hand already subtly gathering power, waiting for the perfect strike, and then—

He then saw a delicate face that was both unexpected and yet somehow in his imagination.

The girl's face was fair and clean, her long eyelashes drooping, and her sleeping face was peaceful and innocent, exposed to him without any defenses.

His gaze swept over the girl's delicate, pitiful red lips, and his Adam's apple bobbed...

Qin Su was awakened by the heat.

It's so hot!

Her hands and feet seemed to be trapped, like a fish out of water unable to breathe. It felt like a thousand pounds were pressing down on her body, and no matter how she struggled, she couldn't escape.

"Hmm, it's hot..."

With a soft, delicate hum, Qin Su finally opened her eyes from the nightmare.

Before reason could reach me, the stinging pain on my lips and the tip of my tongue hurt.

Her aggrieved and resentful gaze met a pair of dark eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Upon noticing that she was awake, the man's kisses deepened, becoming domineering and forceful, treating her entirely as his possession.

Qin Su wanted to curse, but turned her face slightly to avoid his kiss.

However, the shameless man not only failed to get away, but also took the opportunity to kiss her long, white neck, showing no regard for politeness whatsoever.

"Don't do this, you have..." The word "injury" was cut off before she could finish speaking. She saw the words displayed above the man's head, and her pupils narrowed slightly: Crown Prince Jun Yan.

Suddenly, her waist loosened, forcing Qin Su back to her senses. She grabbed the man's wandering hand, her voice trembling slightly, "No—"

The Crown Prince looked up at her, his eyes dark and bright when he smiled, but his hand did not move away. His knuckles tightened slightly, pressing on her slender waist, and he said in a low, wicked voice, "Don't want what?"

Looking into his eyes, Qin Su had the illusion that she was about to be devoured, and her eyes welled up with tears as if she was about to burst into tears.

He deliberately leaned closer to his ear, his breath slightly ragged: "Didn't you get to the bed first?"

boom--

Something exploded in Qin Su's mind:

He's not pretending anymore?!
