Keep your voice down. Are you trying to look glamorous dressed as a forced lover?

Suddenly, he was in close contact with Wen Sheng, and there was that red mole on her face. Li Qingyan's heart pounded wildly, even though he didn't realize it until after the fact.

She loosened her grip on Wen Sheng slightly and slowly moved her head back a little. But as she moved back, what came into view was Wen Sheng's slender neck, every line of which seemed to be depicting sexiness.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, Wen Sheng's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, making her even more impossible to ignore.

"Your Highness," Wen Sheng said, reminding her again.

Li Qingyan slightly raised his eyes, looking at Wen Shenglian's beautiful profile and the slightly reddened corners of her eyes, and suddenly remembered what he had just said.

It seems like a really good idea to reward him with favors.

Li Qingyan thought that perhaps it was the allure of beauty; in any case, she felt truly intoxicated.

They all want to learn from men and do something reckless while drunk.

She chuckled at her own thought, and following Wen Sheng's lead, she straightened her back and tried to stand up. But as she did so, she suddenly heard a strange sound.

Before she could react, she saw a white pearl suddenly bounce up, hit Wen Sheng on the back of the forehead, and fall to the ground.

The two stopped in their tracks: "What is that?"

Li Qingyan gripped Wen Sheng's arm tightly, turned her head to look, and felt that the pearls on the ground looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember why for a moment.

She didn't realize that Wen Sheng's gaze had fallen on her stomach until she noticed it.

The women of Li Kingdom treat themselves well. They have a variety of clothing styles. Those who like simple clothes choose simple and convenient ones, while those who like to dress up dress themselves up beautifully. Their clothes and jewelry are all very beautiful.

She was also generous to herself, using pearls to adorn embroidered shoes and to fasten buttons, especially the buttons on her outer garments, which came in a wide variety of designs.

The buttons on the waist of the outer garment that Li Qingyan is wearing today are decorated with pearls.

So, these are the pearls on her Chinese knot button?

Li Qingyan's mind went blank, but she had to admit that it was the 'button' that had burst.

It is known that ancient clothing was basically tailor-made, so there was always room for extra room even after eating to the point of being stuffed.

Standing is fine, but with her posture and the force she used, the button tragedy occurred.

At this moment, Li Qingyan wanted to die. What was the difference between this and someone in modern times having their pants button pop out in front of everyone and hitting someone?

She hoped Wen Sheng hadn't noticed, but Wen Sheng's gaze was about to fall on the buttonhole.

He discovered it!

He discovered it!

Wen Sheng looked at Li Qingyan's round, protruding belly, glanced at the nearly finished snacks, and remained silent.

It seems His Highness quite enjoys eating...

Noticing Li Qingyan's stiffness, he was about to say something when Li Qingyan suddenly tilted her head and fainted.

Li Qingyan: Ah, I'm dizzy.

I was faking it.

Yes, she chose to fake a fainting spell.

Because it's too embarrassing.

Romantic? What kind of romance is this? It's just embarrassing.

In front of the most handsome man, she actually... she actually...

She's kind of dead.

Despair left her feeling utterly powerless, devoid of all strength.

Fortunately, Wen Sheng was able to handle the situation and prevented further embarrassing incidents.

Wen Sheng looked at her still trembling eyelashes, a rare hint of laughter flashing in her eyes, which she then suppressed.

Finally, he bent down and picked her up.

Li Qingyan, who was being carried in a princess carry, didn't feel any romance, only embarrassment.

She heard him laugh.

Li Qingyan closed his eyes and clenched his fist: Laugh? What are you laughing at!

Next time, she will never eat indiscriminately or carelessly.

Wen Sheng placed Li Qingyan on the bed, naturally took off her shoes, and then turned around to pick up the pearl.

He didn't return it to Li Qingyan, presumably because she didn't want to see it again, so he casually put it into his sleeve.

"Yinuo, prepare toiletries and some digestive pills." In case His Highness has indigestion, he can take them.

"One word: Go and investigate that palace maid."

Wen Sheng gave the instructions in a low voice. Yi Nuo Yi Yan was the person who served him closely, representing the meaning of keeping one's word and being trustworthy. Merchants pursue profits, but integrity and trustworthiness are also very important.

"Yes."

The two quickly withdrew.

Wen Sheng placed the digestive pills on the table beside him. Since Huai Xu was on leave, he hesitated for a moment before going to find a new palace maid and Huai Xu. Finally, he rolled up his sleeves and decided to take care of her himself.

That's why there was the precedent of palace maids attacking people; no one else could be allowed to get close.

His movements were clumsy yet gentle as he used a warm cloth to wash her face and hands.

Li Qingyan was a little surprised. The warm feeling was very comfortable, but it also felt a little itchy, but she endured it.

Because she fainted!

After wiping herself down, she felt that sleeping like this wasn't so bad; tomorrow, everything would be a thing of the past.

But she forgot that people need to use the restroom, especially when they've had too much to drink.

Li Qingyan quickly became anxious.

When you're in a rush, you feel a bit bloated in your stomach. I was planning to go for a walk to digest my food, but now I feel a little uncomfortable.

Wen Sheng quickly noticed that Li Qingyan's breathing was a little off. He was also about to wash up, so he considerately went out to wash up.

As soon as he left, Li Qingyan opened her eyes and quickly went to deal with the situation, then came back and pretended to faint.

Before lying down, she didn't forget to take a digestive pill that was placed on the table.

Her movements were incredibly smooth, and she didn't notice Wen Sheng watching her through the crack in the window.

Upon noticing her nervous and furtive movements, a smile, which he himself was unaware of, crept onto his lips.

After relieving herself of her urgent needs, Li Qingyan took a digestive pill, which worked quite well. She gradually relaxed, closed her eyes, and, feeling dizzy from the alcohol, actually fell asleep.

I slept very soundly.

When she woke up again, she looked at the wrinkled outer garment on her body, threw it away in disgust, and changed into the clothes that Huai Xu had prepared earlier.

After washing up, I saw Wen Sheng sitting at the table.

She had no recollection of how she slept last night, or whether they shared a bed.

"Your Highness."

Wen Sheng's attitude remained unchanged, completely natural, as if the awkwardness of last night had not occurred.

Li Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief. Adults are so dignified. She pretended to have forgotten the embarrassment of last night and went straight to the point.

"Good morning, has the situation regarding the palace maid been clarified?"

"It's been investigated. She was probably bribed. They found some silver and jewelry, but something went wrong and she fell ill. Before they attacked His Highness, someone heard her muttering about the antidote. She must have wanted the antidote to attack His Highness."

"What illness does she have?"

"The doctor said it looked like I was bitten by a sick rat. The wound on my hand was festering, and there were red spots on my face, neck, and chest, which matched the needle-like appearance of a sick rat bite."

Upon hearing the word "sick rat," Li Qingyan immediately thought of the sick rat that Xiaoqing had tried to kill before: "Is the palace now overrun with sick rats?"

Wen Sheng shook his head: "I have never heard of this. After taking over the backyard of the Eastern Palace, Consort Song immediately eliminated pests and rats. There would be no such oversight."

"That was deliberate," Li Qingyan thought, "it seems to be the wise prince's counterattack."

If she had been bitten by a palace maid, there would have been a significant risk of infection, if not 100%. Fortunately, she was unharmed.

Wen Sheng didn't ask who was behind it, but only asked if they wanted to have breakfast together.

Li Qingyan wasn't in a good mood at first, but after seeing the breakfast served, she immediately changed her mind and stayed to have breakfast.

Her choice was right; the breakfast at Wen Sheng's place was really delicious, even better than what the imperial chefs made.

She couldn't resist eating more.

He was so engrossed in the meal that he was in a great mood and completely forgot about the disease and rats.

She eats with great focus, without being pretentious, but with her own little gestures. Watching her eat gives you a sense of satisfaction and inexplicably improves your mood.

Wen Sheng couldn't help but glance at it several times.
