Returning to Xiao Qiran's side, Gu Mingyan merely listened to the Emperor speak about this many things. In his heart, he understood a little about the poison that he had been poisoned with.

Immediately, he brought out the Four Treasures in the study, pushing aside the table by Xiao Qiran's side and wrote down the formula to cure the poison.

"Although this recipe isn't the right medicine, it's enough to carefully recuperate. After all, it has three portions of poison."

"Father wants you to cure the poison?"

As he said till here, Xiao Qiran was also slightly shocked.

When had royal father ever trusted others so easily, what's more, this little girl in front of him was nothing more than a mischievous little girl.

It's just that this poison is extremely slow and easy to precipitate into his throat, so his voice became hoarse. In reality, the poison has yet to disperse, and if it is not properly relieved, a mouthful of blood will come out of his mouth after five or six years. Since the medicinal pellet is lifeless after ten years, he can only wait for death by spitting out blood. "

There was nothing new about this poison, it was something she used to tease people before, and the poison was even more urgent and impulsive. At such a young age, it would have been better if she had tried to mute the poison on her classmates, but unfortunately, the medicinal ingredients at that time were extremely restricted and could only be imagined.

Now that the antidote was written down, it made sense.

Xiao Qiran, however, frowned. "That serious?"

"To destroy a thousand miles of wall in an ant's nest, this is a principle His Royal Highness should understand."

Gu Mingyan laughed helplessly, shoved the antidote into Xiao Qiran's chest, and told him everything that had happened just now.

However, Xiao Qiran asked him: "Is that true?"

"I really think so. It's so obvious, but it's also hard to guard against. However, if he only had a personal grudge with the Fourth Prince, he wouldn't be able to avoid the layers of guards in the Imperial Palace. However, he ended up dropping the chain at the most crucial point, otherwise, something would have happened. " Gu Mingyan held his chin and thought deeply, then said: "The palace guards are stacked on top of each other, it's hard to say who did this."

"You dare to speculate like this for someone who has no doubts?" Xiao Qiran chuckled.

"It is precisely because there is no one that I dare to treat everyone as assassins."

Gu Mingyan looked at Xiao Qiran meaningfully for a moment, and shrugged: "However, you should still resolve Big Sister Shuang Hua's matter properly. Fortunately, I now know that you have no intention of marrying Big Sister Shuang Hua, so it won't go as planned."

"So if I really want to marry her, you'll have to add fuel to the fire?"

The corner of Xiao Qiran's mouth slightly steadied as his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Of course. After all, the seven emotions and six desires are human instincts. If it is possible, I also hope that a lover will be married off and no one can stop us. Small cause of the belly and belly to keep warm, up to the grandpa can rest, down to the children live without worry. "To be able to do all these is the greatest happiness that the Emperor has ever experienced."

Gu Mingyan nodded seriously, then looked at Xiao Qiran: "Since you were born in a high position, the fact that you were able to make your choice early on is sufficient proof that you are superior to others, and that you are my backer.

His words were confident and reasonable, but his expression was one of a casual smile, causing Xiao Qiran to raise the corners of his mouth.

"Then, how do you plan on helping?"

"In the end, I still have to help you block a peach flower for a year. I've already signed the marriage contract, and it's as good as sending Buddha to the west. Only Big Sister Shuang Hua will be happy in the future, so she has not treated me so well in vain."

Xiao Qiran was willing to give up his responsibilities as a member of the royal family to be loved.

And why couldn't she sacrifice such a small friendship for the happiness of Sister Shuang Hua?

Counting her two lifetimes, she should be much older than Xiao Qiran, to the point where she didn't even have the awareness of a little brat, which was something she shouldn't have done.

But now, it had fallen right into Xiao Qiran's hands.

However, after hearing these words, Xiao Qiran simply put down the cup and pulled her slightly cold wrist. His fingers caressed the red string on her wrist, and then landed on the aqua blue phoenix feather, "But didn't you say earlier that you wanted me to separate from you, to fish for this big fish called Madam Liu?"

"I'm also conflicted on this matter." Gu Mingyan allowed him to hold her wrist, assuming that he was still curious about what was inside the phoenix feather, yet, he looked indignant on the surface, "If you were to be frank with Big Sister Shuang Hua and change all the people around her into men, even Big Sister Shuang Hua wouldn't hold anything back for you. Now that she has taken a fancy to a noble prince like you, how would those ordinary men be able to enter her eyes in the future?"

After saying that, Gu Mingyan shot him a glance. He did not notice that the emperor who had just left had returned, and his gaze was locked onto the two of them as he became slightly lost in thought.

She called Shuang Hua 'big sister' rather intimately.

"Even if that is the case, I can still make use of Shuang Hua's excuse to put on an act, and say that you are very jealous, and do not allow Shuang Hua to be so close, but this prince cannot leave Shuang Hua's side after all these years of accompanying him, so let's part ways here. In a few days, I will find a reason to send Shuang Hua over to my master's side for a temporary stay, then it would be logical for me to curry favor with him."

Xiao Qiran did not notice at all that his tone was full of questions and discussions, and had even modestly rubbed her slender wrist.

When he heard the words' kind and jealous', Gu Mingyan accepted it with ease and nodded his head in agreement.

It's just that I'm sorry for Sister Shuang Hua …

Gu Mingyan became gloomy, only to see the palace maid suddenly placing a jug of warm wine beside her and whispering: "Young miss, this is the wine Your Highness has prepared for you, it is fresh and sweet and delicious."

With that, the palace maid carefully left from behind.

Gu Mingyan looked at Xiao Qiran in a daze, seeing that he nodded before pouring himself a cup of wine.

It was slightly bitter, but mostly mellow. The faint fragrance of the pear blossoms was very sweet. He couldn't help but drink more.

Halfway through the banquet, the empress and her concubines had taken advantage of the situation to temporarily leave the table for the time being to take a nap. The elderly officials all continued to drink with the side halls, leaving behind many young masters and ladies.

The emperor had left early, and Xiao Qiran had already passed the prescription over.

Turning around, he only felt a weight on his shoulder. The girl beside him was already half asleep, her face leaning on his shoulder. Her body curled up into his embrace, and a hand gently hooked onto his shoulder. "I'm so sleepy …"

Beneath the fragrance of the pear blossom was the faint smell of wine.

However, Xiao Qiran had never heard of anyone who became so drunk after drinking a few cups of wine. Xiao Qiran frowned slightly, and only now did he realize that she was just a girl born in the countryside. Wine was naturally rare, so he raised his hand to push away the few palace maids and eunuchs who still wanted to welcome him.

"Get a blanket."

After he quietly instructed her, Xiao Qiran only raised his hand to pull her hand away, and leaned his body forward so that she could hide half of his body. His entire person was in her embrace, with one hand on his leg and his chin on his shoulder.

The sound of shallow breathing came over. Xiao Qiran had merely gently draped the blanket over her shoulders.

It was not uncommon for young ladies to fall into a deep sleep during a palace banquet, so everyone was used to it.

The winter feast before the New Year was just for the sake of the prize.
