Chapter 96 I flirted with him, but then I forgot...
Rong Zhen reached out and took the porcelain bottle, a slight tremor running through his heart.

Unexpectedly, the antidote for Yinxi, which is hailed as the top of the ten most potent poisons, was formulated in this way.

With this antidote, he would no longer be harmed by the poison.

Thinking of this, he gripped the porcelain bottle tightly, and his gaze towards Yun Wei became more sincere. "Thank you for your hard work."

Yun Wei paused, looking at the obvious gratitude on the man's face, and couldn't help but tease, "Congratulations, Your Highness, you'll soon regain your virility and be able to marry and have children."

Rong Zhen: "..."

Seeing the obvious mockery on the woman's face, he felt extremely annoyed.

This woman flirted with him, doesn't even remember it, and is now making sarcastic remarks.

Thinking it over, he narrowed his phoenix eyes and said coldly, "I am truly grateful for the concern that the Yun family has shown me."

"No need to be so polite." Yunwei waved her hand. "If Your Highness has any other problems after the poison is cured, you can send someone to find me at any time." After saying that, she suddenly remembered something and instructed, "Your Highness has been troubled by Yin Qi for many years. You must be careful when you are suddenly cured of the poison. Don't hurt yourself."

Rong Zhen didn't understand what she meant at first, until she added, "Haste makes waste. The prince has only just recovered, so don't rush things. There's plenty of time, no need to rush."

Upon hearing this, even Rong Zhen, who was slow to understand such matters, finally grasped the situation.

His temple veins throbbed, his face turned ashen, and he roared, "Yun Wei!"

Yun Wei was stunned for a moment.

This man had always called her Yun Dongjia, but this was the first time he had ever addressed her by her full name like this.

It seems he was enraged and embarrassed.

Yunwei curled her lips and said nonchalantly, "Your Highness, there's no need to be embarrassed. I was just doing my duty as a doctor and reminding you. After all, you are one of my patients."

"Are you even a woman?" Rong Zhenjun's face was filled with annoyance.

"What, does Your Highness want to inspect?" Yunwei raised an eyebrow.

Rong Zhen choked, staring at her in disbelief.

Does this woman even know what she's saying?
Or is she always been this casual?

Thinking of this, he felt inexplicably irritated and couldn't help but scold in a low voice: "As a woman, you must be careful with your words and actions, and be polite and dignified. If others hear you saying this, what will they think of you? Do you still care about your reputation?"

Yun Wei blinked her almond-shaped eyes slightly, looking at him in surprise.

He seemed so angry because he was worried about her reputation?
"I don't care what others think of me." After a while, Yunwei said indifferently, "Besides, there's no third person here, unless Your Highness wants to tell others."

Rong Zhen frowned, looking at her with some incomprehension.

Does she mean to only say it in front of him?

He pursed his lips, a strange sense of pleasure welling up inside him.

His expression softened somewhat without him noticing.

“There’s a limit to joking. You know, some things, once you get used to saying them, might just slip out at any time. Next time, don’t talk nonsense again.” He lowered his eyes and said gently.

Yunwei looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Is this man lecturing her?
She blinked and blurted out, "The prince is only a few years older than me. He doesn't seem to be old enough to be my father."

Rong Zhen: "..."

His face instantly darkened.

Is this woman deliberately trying to provoke him?
"If Your Highness wishes to become a father, you can marry and have children as soon as possible. Then you can teach your children whatever you want," Yun Wei said with a smile.

Rong Zhen's chest heaved violently; he was furious.

After a long pause, he squeezed out his voice through clenched teeth, "I never wanted to be your father, nor did I want a daughter as old as you."

Hearing the man's gritted teeth, Yun Wei couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You wish!"

Seeing her radiant smile, the gloom in the Regent's eyes vanished, and he stared at her in a daze.

This woman was already extremely beautiful when she wasn't smiling, but when she smiled, she truly possessed a beauty that could topple kingdoms. Yun Wei didn't notice his strangeness, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and elegantly yawned, "Take the antidote as soon as possible, I need to go back and rest."

She didn't close her eyes all night in order to prepare the antidote as quickly as possible.

Rong Zhen came to his senses and said gently, "I will have Sang Qing escort you back."

"Okay." Yun Wei nodded.

……

Back at Qingyi Garden, Yunwei washed and bathed before going to bed.

When she woke up, it was already the next day.

She leaned against the headboard somewhat listlessly, without getting up.

"Miss, you're awake." At this moment, Tian'er walked in, her expression somewhat strange.

Yunwei glanced at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tian'er said with a grim expression, "Li Yaoting is here. He's making a ruckus outside the mansion gate, insisting on seeing you. Uncle Chen led his men to chase him away several times, but they couldn't get rid of him."

Yun Wei frowned. "What's he doing here?"

Tian'er guessed, "It must be because of Chen Yuniang. I heard that Chen Yuniang has not been released since she was taken away by the government officials the day before yesterday."

Upon hearing this, Yunwei seemed to be deep in thought.

Two days ago, Qingfeng told the officials that he suspected Chen Yuniang and others of being rebels and asked them to investigate them thoroughly. They were afraid of being punished by the Regent, so they dared not be negligent.

Therefore, without orders from above, they dared not release the people.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little smug.

Arrogance inevitably leads to disaster!
This statement is well illustrated in Chen Yuniang's case.

It's truly a cause for celebration that Chen Yuniang was imprisoned during their first banquet after the Chen family regained their noble status.

Yunwei dressed and washed up slowly and calmly, then ate breakfast without rushing before leaving the house.

Outside the mansion gate, Li Yaoting was so anxious that he had blisters on his lips. He was filled with remorse. He hadn't kept an eye on Chen Yuniang the day before yesterday, which had caused her to get into such trouble. Not only had he gone to jail, but he had also implicated the Chen and Li families.

The more glorious the Chen family was before because of the restoration of their noble titles, the more ridiculous they are now.

The news that Chen Yuniang was arrested by the authorities on the day she hosted a banquet at the Chen family had already spread throughout the streets and alleys.

The Chen family became a laughing stock for everyone.

Even the Li family was affected.

He went to the government office to try and get the man released, but the officials refused to let him go.

Even when the Duke of Chen personally intervened, it was to no avail.

The officials insisted that they would not release her until the matter was thoroughly investigated. However, it was revealed that Chen Yuniang had offended the Regent's Palace.

What is the identity of the regent?
Not to mention him, even the Duke of Chen would find it difficult to reach his level.

However, he remembered that before his divorce from Yunwei, a eunuch from the Regent's Palace had come to the Li family looking for Yunwei.

So after much thought, he came to Yunwei, hoping she could act as a go-between and let him meet someone from the Regent's Palace, so that there might be a chance for Chen Yuniang's situation to change.

However, he arrived early in the morning, but the servants of Qingyi Garden not only refused to let him in, but even dared to drive him away.

If he didn't need Yunwei's help, he would have smashed down her door.

Li Yaoting was furious, but he couldn't vent his anger.

Just as he was pondering whether to think of another way, the gates of Qingyi Garden finally opened.

His expression relaxed, and when he looked up, he saw Yunwei walking out from inside.
