Chapter 21: Acting for Real?

ck on track, just..." Qian Tingxuan looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself. 。"The Empress Dowager's condition has worsened" Xiao Yuge immediately guessed that it was most likely...The maid walked several paths before stopping in front of a room. “Miss Xiao Er, hot water and fresh clothes have been prepared inside for you. Please feel free to use them. This servant will go back to report now.”

Here

"Thank you!"

After the little maidservant left, Xiao Yuge subconsciously sized up the room before her. From the outside, it didn't seem like there was anything unusual about it; perhaps the mystery lay within the room itself. Since she had come this far, she might as well go inside and take a look.

"Miss, the water temperature is just right. This servant will first attend to your bathing and changing of clothes." Qing Luo was innocent and guileless, naturally not suspecting anything, so as soon as she entered, she tested the water temperature in the tub.

“Qingluo, you guard outside. I’ll handle this.” Xiao Yuge pushed Qingluo out instead of being embarrassed. The moment she entered the room, she felt something was wrong. She was afraid that if things escalated, Qingluo might get hurt, so she asked him to stay outside.

"Alright, I'll be just outside the door. If you need anything later, Miss, just call out and I'll come in immediately." Qing Luo obediently walked out and gently closed the door.

Xiao Yu's song was not bathed, but behind the screen quickly changed clothes neatly dressed, she glanced at a burning incense next to it, unconsciously touched her nose, the corner of his lips could not help but curl: Humph! Before she had calculated, how do you not go to inquire about what she learned, actually used such an old-fashioned method, really weak burst.

She feigned stroking her forehead, then let out a muffled groan and collapsed to the ground!

Sure enough, after a while, a guard-dressed man crawled out from the side. He walked toward Xiao Yuge who was lying on the ground with a nasty smile on his face: "Little beauty, big brother is here!" That despicable voice made people want to punch him. Xiao Yuge secretly clenched her fist.

But just as the guard had taken two steps, a sudden flash appeared before his eyes. A sharp pain stabbed at his back, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The newcomer sniffed the air, then swatted over the incense burner on the table, striding quickly to Xiao Yuge's side. He was about to help her up, but as soon as he bent down, Xiao Yuge sat up herself. "Impressive reflexes, Your Highness!"

“Are you alright” Qian Tingxuan looked at her in disbelief. He had just come out for some fresh air, and then he saw the maid leading Xiao Yuge and the others around and around. He was puzzled, so he followed them all the way, and sure enough, there was a problem!

"Surprised" Xiao Yu Ge clapped her hands and stood up, but before she could steady herself, a wave of dizziness washed over her, causing her to sway and almost fall.

“Didn’t you say you were fine” Fortunately, Qian Tingxuan reacted quickly and caught her. Seeing her pale face, he instinctively grabbed her hand and furrowed his brow: “Your injury isn’t fully healed, but your body shouldn’t be this weak. What’s wrong with you” Logically, after taking his elixir of life, her body should have recovered quickly. It had been days, yet she looked worse.

“It’s alright!” Xiao Yuge was afraid he would notice something, so she hurriedly retracted her hand: “This incense is harmless even if I smell it all. It’s just that the lotus intoxication has been tampered with. Although I took a detoxification pill beforehand, after all, I didn't know what kind of medicine they would use, so the detoxification pill could only temporarily suppress it and couldn't detoxify it. Now this aphrodisiac incense prematurely triggered the poison in my body, which is a bit troublesome...”

"You're poisoned What kind of poison is it Is there an antidote" At her words of poisoning, Qian Tingxuan was surprisingly anxious.

>

"It's just a harmless love powder, not some deadly poison." Xiao Yu Ge said helplessly. The Hehuan Powder encountering the Love Fragrance, one poison compounding another, this harmful method was cliché but surprisingly effective.

>

"Hehuan San That's..." Qian Tingxuan's expression changed drastically. Even if he didn't understand medicine, just hearing the name was enough to make him guess.

"It's alright, I can concoct the antidote, but I need to return to the Prime Minister's residence." To be honest, in this situation, she wasn't even sure if she could make it back to the Prime Minister's mansion.

"This King will take you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion right away!" Having said that, Qian Tingxuan then wanted to carry her away.

Before she left, she had to settle things here. It wasn't right for someone to be made a fool of like this. Xiao Yuge knew someone had orchestrated all this, intending to ruin her reputation. She couldn't let them down, could she Besides, if she just walked away now, those who came to watch the show would surely blame her for everything. It would be impossible to defend herself then.

In her past life, she had luckily escaped this disaster, but it still damaged her reputation and became a thorn in her heart. As a result, every time she appeared before Qian Si Chen, she was humble and desperate to prove herself excellent, which ultimately led her to be battered and bruised.

"What do you intend to do" Qianting Xuan glanced at the fallen guard and also caught the amusement in her eyes.

Xiao Yu ge pointed to the two sneaky figures at the back door, “See Aren’t they here to join us” He then said to Wang Ye, "Let's put on a show for them."

>

"Good!" Qian Tingxuan seemed to understand, holding her and pressing her down onto the nearby bed. Seeing the panic that suddenly welled up in Xiao Yuge's beautiful eyes, he smirked and whispered, "Will you call out"

"What's your name" Xiao Yuge blinked her beautiful eyes, looking bewildered.

"Called..." Qian Tingxuan stopped, couldn't help but chuckle dumbly: "Forgot you are still young, you don't understand these things at all." After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her lips directly.

"Mmm..." Xiao Yuge widened her eyes, instinctively wanting to push him away. However, he was too heavy, she couldn't push him off at all, only humming and grunting as she twisted her body incessantly in protest.

"When acting, one must fully commit, or how will the fish take the bait" Qian Tingxuan pulled away from her lips and leaned closer to her ear, his breath warm and slightly chaotic, a husky voice that swirled around her, leaving Xiao Yuge blushing furiously. She couldn't help but feel like she had been taken advantage of.

Seeing that only one shadow remained behind the door, it was estimated that the other had gone to report. Xiao Yuge whispered, "How accurate are your hidden weapons"

"This distance, a hundred hits out of a hundred!" Qian Tingxuan said as he picked up a bead from the side and threw it at the figure. The figure fell with a sound.

"The play is over, and you're still not getting off!" Xiao Yu Ge saw that things had been successful, so she pushed away Qian Ting Xuan who was still pressing on her. You dog man, you said we were acting, but you actually made it real. If I wasn't no match for him, I would definitely give him a good lesson!

"So heartless, am I just a pawn to be used and discarded" Qian Tingxuan shrugged and jumped off the bed. He quickly pulled the person outside in and, afterward, they threw both the guard and the maid onto the bed.t a short time, she would be able to marry him. This had always been her heart's desire. 。"Ru Ge won't disturb the Prince and the Miss's good time, Ru Ge takes her leave!" After bowing respectfully, R...
