Princess Xinyang had not yet noticed anything strange.

She simply assumed that since Xiao Ji had seen Long Yi right before fainting and then woke up to find him gone, it would be natural for him to ask about Long Yi.

She said, “Long Yi and Zhen’er went to look for the antidote for Xiao Ming. According to what Zhen’er said, things were extremely dangerous earlier, and the Holy Maiden seemed to want to harm you. Fortunately, they arrived just in time.”

Xiao Ji almost asked why Long Yi had not waited for him, but he forcibly swallowed the words the moment they reached his mouth.

What kind of mess was all this?

If he kept asking, what would Qin Fengwen even think of him?

He suppressed the concern he felt toward Long Yi and instead asked, “Long Yi brought you here?”

Just great.

Every sentence he said still revolved around Long Yi.

Princess Xinyang remained as straightforward as always and replied, “Yes. He did not alert anyone. They all thought you were being kept overnight by the Holy Maiden and didn’t dare to question anything. The Holy Maiden was knocked out by Long Yi and is still in the secret chamber, unconscious.”

She explained everything in great detail, probably because she saw that he was covered in injuries and wanted to spare him the effort of asking too many questions.

Then Princess Xinyang remembered something and took out a small bottle of medicine from within her wide sleeves, saying, “By the way, Zhen’er found this wound medicine in the Holy Maiden Hall. You should try it.”

“She knows about this?” Xiao Ji had never heard Zhen’er mention it.

Princess Xinyang had spoken with Zhen’er earlier and said, “Her mother used to serve in the Holy Maiden Hall and even served the previous Holy Maiden. Since the Holy Maiden Hall is well-versed in medical arts, she grew up exposed to it and learned a bit from her mother.”

“What a pity.” Xiao Ji sighed.

So young, yet she had already lost her mother, lived under someone else’s roof for years, and then was sold off by her aunt in the end.

The child was truly pitiful.

The medicine was to be taken internally, so Princess Xinyang poured water for him and had him take it.

After thinking for a moment, he decided he should tell Princess Xinyang about being drugged, so that no misunderstandings would arise for no good reason.

“There’s something I want to tell you.”

“Go ahead.”

“I miss Long Yi.”

Damn it!

Xiao Ji wished he could strangle the Holy Maiden!

What in the world had she fed him?

Princess Xinyang stared at him with utter shock on her face.

“No, that’s not it.” He pressed his fingers against his brow and was just about to explain when Long Yi returned with the little Dongyi princess.

Before he could think, he threw off the fur covering him and shot straight toward Long Yi like a gust of wind. “Mengmeng!”

He wanted to slash himself with a single blade.

Long Yi, who had been inexplicably called by his childhood nickname: “…”

The Dongyi princess, who also inexplicably heard the nickname: “…”

And Princess Xinyang, who completely could not understand what sort of madness her husband was suffering from: “…”

Xiao Ji had used every bit of strength akin to moving mountains and turning seas to finally squeeze the Holy Maiden out of his mind, yet in doing so he had conveniently given all the advantage to Long Yi.

Now he had to once again exert that same monumental effort to explain clearly how he had been drugged.

Of course, he left out the part where he had been repeatedly thinking about Qin Fengwen in his mind, and only said that the moment he took the medicine, Long Yi had appeared.

The Dongyi princess suddenly understood everything. “Oh, so that’s why you fainted. You’re doomed, you’re absolutely doomed! You’ve been hit by our Dongyi’s strongest love-inducing drug, you’re finished!”

Princess Xinyang’s face turned pale. “This kind of drug… isn’t there an antidote?”

She remembered there was something about a white medicine and a black medicine, or something like that.

The Dongyi princess shook her head. “There’s no antidote, you must be mistaken. Although there is a drug with the opposite effect that makes people feel intense disgust, if it is used as an antidote, it will make the mind chaotic, and in severe cases it could even turn a person into an idiot.”

Princess Xinyang immediately thought of the Emperor, who had suffered from two kinds of these drugs in the hands of Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing.

It was truly remarkable that he had not become a complete fool.

The Dongyi princess continued, “Besides, our Dongyi drugs have much stronger effects. I advise you not to try it.”

Princess Xinyang frowned. “So there really is no other method?”

The thought of her husband sticking to Long Yi day and night for who-knows-how-long was something she absolutely could not tolerate.

“We can only wait for the drug’s effect to fade on its own.” the Dongyi princess said as she leaned her elbows on the table, resting her cheeks in both hands.

Princess Xinyang quickly asked, “How long will the effect last?”

The Dongyi princess thought seriously. “It depends on the person. He only took one pill, right? The shortest is ten days to half a month, and the longest can be a month.”

Princess Xinyang murmured, “That long…”

The Dongyi princess continued, “If you don’t let him see Long Yi, the drug’s effect will weaken a bit and fade more quickly.”

“I see…” Princess Xinyang decided she must keep a close eye on Xiao Ji starting now, but the moment she turned her head, Xiao Ji was already gone from the room.

Her heart lurched, and she hurried to the backyard.

In the empty courtyard, two grown men were squatting in the snow, digging and playing together, the scene looking uncomfortably intimate and harmonious.

Long Yi had built an unbelievably ugly snowman, and Xiao Ji was staring at him with eyes full of stars, praising her, “Mengmeng, you’re amazing!”

Princess Xinyang suddenly felt as if a green hat had floated above her head.

“You should separate them immediately, otherwise the Marquis’s symptoms will get worse.” the Dongyi princess advised sincerely.

The effect of this drug would grow stronger the more contact the affected person had with the target, reach its peak at a certain point, and only then gradually fade.

Judging from Xiao Ji’s behavior just now, he truly was becoming more and more attached to Long Yi.

“Did you find your father’s medicine?” Princess Xinyang suddenly asked the Dongyi princess.

The Dongyi princess froze for a moment, unsure whether it was because of the words “your father,” or because she was surprised by the sudden change of topic.

She gave a quiet “oh” and lowered her gaze. “We found it.”

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
