Chapter 298: Underhanded tactics
Prince An had returned to the capital because of the poisoning of the Crown Prince, and he has been in the capital for some time now.
Normally, a prince who already had a fiefdom was not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial edict. The emperor ordered Prince An to return to the northwest before the end of the year and not to stay in the capital.
Prince An originally wanted to find a husband for Li Yutong in the capital, but she was too picky and in the end he failed to find a suitable candidate, so Prince An decided to take her back to the northwest.
Knowing that she would have to return to the Northwest in a few days, Li Yutong suddenly became anxious.
Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and decided to take the risk.
That night, Li Yutong entered the prince's study under the pretext of delivering chicken soup.
"Brother Ziyu, you are still busy with official business so late every day. It must be very hard. I specially cooked a bowl of chicken soup for you as a midnight snack."
As Li Yutong spoke, she took out the chicken soup from the lunch box and placed it on the desk.
The prince glanced at it and said casually, "Thank you very much. Please leave the chicken soup here. I will drink it later."
Seeing that the prince was not going to drink it now, Li Yutong quickly persuaded him, "Brother Ziyu, the weather is cold now, and the chicken soup will get cold in a while. I cooked it myself and simmered it for more than an hour. You should drink it while it's hot."
Seeing that the prince was still hesitant, Li Yutong simply said coquettishly, "I won't leave until I see Brother Ziyu finish his chicken soup."
Although the prince did not have any special feelings for Li Yutong, she grew up with Prince An after all, so the prince was much more tolerant of her than others.
The prince picked up the chicken soup on the table and started drinking it with a spoon. Seeing this, Li Yutong smiled sinisterly, as if her evil plan had succeeded.
After the prince finished drinking the chicken soup, he started to chase people away, "I have finished drinking the chicken soup, Yutong, you should go back and rest early."
"Well, then Yutong will take her leave."
Li Yutong began to pack up slowly. She picked up the bowls and spoons on the table slowly and put them into the food box. She then slowly closed the lid. Then she walked around the screen and slowly walked out.
Just as she was about to reach the door, she finally heard some unusual noises behind the screen. She quickly put down the food box and turned back quickly.
At this moment, the prince felt dizzy and hot all over, and the documents on the desk were scattered all over the floor.
Li Yutong deliberately unbuttoned her coat, then walked forward to support the prince. She pressed her body, which was only in a bellyband, against the prince, and gently called in his ear, "Brother Ziyu, are you hot now? Do you need my help?"
The prince seemed to hear Qianhuan calling him. He grabbed the person in front of him and held her in his arms. Then he slowly lowered his head and kissed the person on the lips.
Li Yutong was very excited as she watched the person slowly approaching her. She was finally going to become Brother Ziyu's woman. She was so happy.
She slowly closed her eyes, ready to wait for the prince's visit.
Unexpectedly, the person above her had just touched the lips of the person below her, and before Li Yutong had time to have a deep communication with the prince, she was pulled away by the prince and thrown to the ground in the next second.
The prince roared angrily, "Get out of here, prince."
It turned out that the prince had just lightly touched Li Yutong's lips when he found something wrong. He clearly felt that the person under him was not Qianhuan's at all. Then his eyes gradually became clear, and he saw clearly that the person under him was Li Yutong.
The prince immediately understood that there must be something wrong with the bowl of chicken soup. He never dreamed that the woman who usually looked weak and harmless would use such a despicable method on him.
If it weren't for the fact that Li Yutong's father died on the battlefield for his country, the prince would have twisted her neck on the spot.
Li Yutong was pushed away but she still didn't give up. She stumbled to her feet and hugged the prince, then cried and begged, "Brother Ziyu, Yutong really likes you. Even if I have to be a slave in this life, Yutong just wants to be by your side. Please fulfill Yutong's wish and let Yutong be your woman."
Under the control of the drug, the prince was now burning with desire. Li Yutong holding him like this made him even more uncomfortable. He tried his best to suppress the heat in his body, and even a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
He pushed Li Yutong away again and said in a firm tone, "The only person I love in my heart is Qianhuan, and I will only marry her in this life. You should just give up on this idea."
Li Yutong cried and said, "Brother Ziyu, I have loved you since I was a child. I have always dreamed of becoming your woman. If you marry a noble lady from a prominent family, I will give up. But now you want to marry a lowly peasant girl, Yutong is really unconvinced. Apart from her looks, how can Yutong be inferior to that lowly woman? Why would you rather marry her than me?"
When the prince heard Li Yutong say Qianhuan was lowly, he was immediately furious. He punched the desk, and the desk immediately broke into pieces with a loud bang.
"If I hear you call Huan'er lowly again, I will have your tongue cut off."
Li Yutong was so frightened by the appearance of the prince that she shuddered.
"Listen carefully, I am not trying to criticize you. Whether it is your figure, appearance, talent, knowledge, or character, you are not as good as Huan'er in any way. As for your background, I don't care about that kind of thing at all."
Li Yutong was shocked when she heard this. "Brother Ziyu, is Yutong really so unbearable in your eyes? Is that woman really as good as you say?"
Thinking of Qianhuan, the prince's eyes showed tenderness, "Yes, she is really good, even better than I said."
Then the prince changed his tone and said, "For my father's sake, I can pretend that nothing happened to you for resorting to such despicable means today. Now put on your clothes and go back to your room. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Seeing that the prince looked like he wanted to kill her, Li Yutong quickly put on her clothes and ran back to her room to save her life.
As soon as Li Yutong left, the prince started calling Chiying.
In fact, Chi Ying had heard the noise in the house a long time ago, but unfortunately his master didn't call him, so he couldn't just barge into the room.
Hearing his master calling him, Chi Ying hurried into the room. Seeing that the prince was in pain, Chi Ying asked with concern, "Master, how are you? Do you want me to go to the brothel and find a few girls to relieve your sexual desire?"
The prince gave Chi Ying a cold look and said, "Hurry up and call Bai Lingxuan over to help me detoxify."
Chi Ying really didn't expect that his master had such good self-control. Even though he was burning with desire, he didn't ask the girl to detoxify him, but insisted that he go to find Doctor Bai.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
