Chapter 805: Who plots against whom?
Seeing the Crown Prince's slightly flushed cheeks, Li Wanhe hoped that the Crown Prince was already showing signs of arousal.
In this way, regardless of whether she was the one who did it, she would definitely be favored by the Crown Prince.
No matter what, she is the daughter of a general, and now that she has been favored by the Crown Prince, there is absolutely no way he can prevent her from entering the Eastern Palace.
Duanmu Chuze's face was indeed a little red, and sweat had even started to appear on his forehead.
He took another step forward, and now he was less than half a foot away from Li Wanhe.
Li Wanhe's heart was pounding. She felt that the biggest turning point in her life was about to arrive. She couldn't help but look up at the Crown Prince. His eyes, full of affection, were truly captivating.
"What a pity, you have such captivating eyes, but I find them utterly repulsive!"
He uttered these words with utter ruthlessness from his thin lips, then snorted coldly, grabbed her by the back of the neck, and dragged her upstairs.
At this moment, Consort Luo, who was waiting in the study to be summoned by the Crown Prince, was pacing back and forth anxiously.
These days, the Emperor has been keeping the Luo family at arm's length. Although he is the imperial son-in-law, he has never had any real power. He is wealthy, but people inevitably say that he is a freeloader. It is only because of the princess that he was able to get this idle position, where he does not have to attend court but can still receive a salary.
But for a man, such a situation would only make him feel that he has lost all dignity in front of others.
But who told me to marry a princess?
Within the palace, regardless of whether he is talented or not, the princess is always the most powerful!
Whatever the princess says goes.
However, looking at Chu Rong, who was also married to a princess, Princess Jing doted on her immensely. This time, if it weren't for the Chu family's younger sister-in-law going too far, Princess Jing wouldn't have been able to return to the princess's residence with her child.
However, Chu Moli has already been married off. Moreover, Chu Moli has given birth to a son and a daughter for Chu Rong. In public, she always gives Chu Rong face and always calls him "husband" this and "husband" that. She almost never says the words "son-in-law" or says anything bad about Chu Rong.
Now that the Luo family has fallen to this state, even the Marquis of Anning, who is also his elder brother, has no choice but to be moved to a position with only a title and no real power.
They were all people who had experienced ups and downs, so they naturally understood that if things continued like this, the Luo family would inevitably decline.
Even if they had a noble princess in their household, it would be impossible for them to withstand the suppression from the emperor and the crown prince.
After waiting for a long time without the Crown Prince returning, a palace attendant soon arrived, saying that he would ask the Prince Consort Luo to move to the front pavilion, where the Crown Prince was waiting.
As Mu Xin Nuan was talking to the old lady, Chun Yu rushed over. "Your Highness, His Highness is in his bedchamber right now. He said he can't find something and asks you to come and help him look for it."
Mu Xin Nuan was stunned for a moment. Why would he be asked to find something?
But seeing Chunyu's anxious expression, it didn't seem like she was faking it, so he didn't think too much about it, made a few arrangements, and left.
When Mu Xin Nuan arrived at the bedchamber, she was slightly taken aback. Nobody was there.
"Your Highness, His Highness is across from us."
Mu Xin Nuan came to her senses. The other side? Isn't that the mortal pool? How did the Crown Prince end up in there in broad daylight?
When they arrived at the bathhouse, they found Duanmu Chuze soaking in the pool.
"What's wrong? Your face is a little red. Are you poisoned?" Mu Xin Nuan was a doctor, so she naturally noticed his abnormality as soon as she saw him.
"It's alright. Sit on the bed, don't come any closer, the floor is a bit slippery, don't fall again."
"Oh." Mu Xin Nuan obediently sat on the bed in the outer room and waited for Duanmu Chu Ze to come out. Only then did she notice that the main hall was empty.
Duanmu Chuze's face was flushed, and he was only wearing a long robe, which he didn't even bother to tie. He walked straight up to Mu Xinnuan like this.
When Mu Xin Nuan saw his expression and then his lustful eyes, she immediately understood and her heart skipped a beat. "What happened? Who has the audacity to drug you?"
"Anuan, I just took a cold bath for half a day and I still haven't recovered. Can you help me?"
Although Duanmu Chuze's voice was somewhat urgent, it was unusually gentle.
In fact, the two of them did have sexual intercourse after she became pregnant, but not so frequently.
Mu Xin Nuan blushed, and looking at his expression, she knew that it was probably no use in relieving his discomfort; he would only get worse.
"Anuan, my dear Anuan, don't worry, I will be very gentle. I know that our baby is in your belly."
Soon, a series of soft, breathy sounds filled the hall, enough to make anyone blush.
After Duanmu Chuze had taken it once, he still seemed somewhat unsatisfied.
More accurately, the dosage of the drug was too high; a single act of intercourse was not enough to completely neutralize its effects in his body.
"Anuan, please help me, okay?"
Mu Xinnuan blushed, knowing what he meant. When she was pregnant with Zonghua before, she had helped him with her hands because it was inconvenient, and it seemed that she would have to do the same again this time.
Finally, Duanmu Chuze's breathing returned to normal, and his complexion gradually calmed down. He then went back into the pool for a soak.
Mu Xin Nuan changed into a clean set of clothes and combed her hair again, but Duanmu Chu Ze wouldn't let her go out.
"Although I was warm just now, I had just come out of cold water. I was worried that I might have given you a chill. Please sit here for a while so that you don't get sick again."
Mu Xin Nuan sat there obediently, and then Chun Yu, who had just come in, stuffed a hand warmer into her hand.
"what happened?"
Chunyu quietly recounted the whole story, and also gave a brief account of the situation in the attic.
"This Li Wanhe is truly blinded by greed! The Li family is currently highly valued by the Emperor, and she is a young lady of the Li family. How could her future marriage be anything but good? How could she possibly come up with such a way to humiliate herself?"
Duanmu Chuze, who was inside, had just finished expelling the poison and only gave a cold laugh. He said in a clear voice, "I'm afraid she's not capable of accomplishing such a big thing on her own. We need to find out who's behind her."
Mu Xin Nuan was taken aback. "You're right. This is the East Palace. She actually dared to plot against you here. It seems it's time for us in the East Palace to clean things up."
