Qin Ye gave Shen Qing a meaningful look, but his words were addressed to Ji Junye. "It's indeed a rather tricky poison. At the early stage of poisoning, the victim may only feel drowsy, nauseous, and listless. In the later stage, they may suffer from insomnia, cramps, and even palpitations."
"The antidote is not a big problem, but the patient needs a good period of recuperation."
As Shen Qing listened, she felt something was off.
Weren't these symptoms the normal reactions during pregnancy that Doctor Meng had mentioned?
"Prescribe the medicine," Ji Junye said concisely.
Qin Ye smiled at Shen Qing. "Don't be in a hurry. This poison requires slow treatment. I'll send you the prescription later."
"Thank you," Shen Qing said.
Just for his help in keeping her secret, he deserved this word of thanks from her.
"I've already said not to be so polite. Your man will pay the consultation fee."
Shen Qing blushed at his straightforward words. What did he mean by "your man"?
Ji Junye found him increasingly annoying. "You can leave now."
"By the way," Qin Ye clicked his tongue and winked at him ambiguously. "Avoid sexual intercourse during the detoxification period. You should restrain yourself!"
Shen Qing blushed again. Ji Junye just frowned at him and then chased him out.
"Just prescribe your medicine."
After Qin Ye left, he shrugged as he walked and imitated Ji Junye's tone, saying in a sarcastic voice, "Just prescribe your medicine~"
Humph~
He didn't even want to stay. The room was filled with the smell of jealousy. It was almost suffocating him!
After Qin Ye left, the atmosphere in the room became awkward.
At least that's how Shen Qing felt.
She sat on the stool, with her head down, but her heart was itching because of Qin Ye's strange attitude.
"Although Qin Ye seems a bit unreliable, he has extensive knowledge of poisons. Since he said he can cure it, there's no need to worry," Ji Junye suddenly said. His tone was dry because he wasn't good at comforting others.
Shen Qing was stunned. Did he think she was worried about the antidote?
She let out a soft hum.
Suddenly, Ji Junye stood up, walked to Shen Qing, and lifted her from the stool. By the time Shen Qing reacted, she was already sitting on his lap.
"Your Majesty... please let me down," Shen Qing struggled to get off.
While struggling, she accidentally pressed a certain place. Ji Junye let out a muffled groan and held her waist firmly. A slightly hoarse and dangerous warning rang in her ear.
"Don't move around."
A familiar feeling came from under her buttocks. Shen Qing immediately dared not move, and her face was burning.
Oh no! Why did her face get so hot recently? Was she poisoned too deeply?
Ji Junye tightened his hold on her and whispered in her ear seductively, "Now that there's Qin Ye, stay away from that pretty boy surnamed Meng, okay?"
Although he didn't want to see any other men around Shen Qing at all, Qin Ye was barely an exception.
He just simply liked good-looking people without any improper thoughts. Otherwise, he wouldn't still be a virgin after going to the brothel every day.
Shen Qing was shocked. "What pretty boy!"
Doctor Meng was clearly a gentleman, okay?
Thinking this way, Shen Qing blurted it out.
"Humph!"
Ji Junye let out a heavy cold laugh.
"Fine, he's a gentleman, and I'm a villain, right?"
"Your Majesty, don't change the subject," Shen Qing said angrily, turning her face away.
She didn't say that. How dare she?
Seeing that Shen Qing was a bit angry, Ji Junye tried a different way. "Why isn't he a pretty boy? What kind of man wears white clothes and covers his eyes with a ribbon? He looks like a sickly person. He doesn't look decent at all."
"Doctor Meng has an eye disease..." Why did it sound like he was trying to seduce her from his mouth?
Shen Qing retorted dissatisfiedly.
Ji Junye pinched her chin and made her look into his eyes.
"Since that night when you got into my bed, you can only be mine."
"So, Shen Qing, don't have any other thoughts."
"I don't!" Shen Qing looked at him with red eyes, stubborn and pitiful.
"I know. If you did, things wouldn't be so simple today."
Ji Junye lifted his other hand and gently stroked the redness at the corner of her eye, but it made the redness spread even more.
"Don't have such thoughts. Otherwise, I'll kill him."
Shen Qing's body trembled.
Clearly in such an amorous atmosphere, he could easily decide another person's life and death, as well as her own future, with such a casual tone.
After a long time, she lowered her head and surrendered first. "... I understand."
She didn't have the right to refute, did she?
From beginning to end, Ji Junye just regarded her as his own possession. That's why he wouldn't allow his possession to disobey him.
Despotic tyrant!
Ji Junye didn't know that Shen Qing was gnashing her teeth at him in her heart. He was very satisfied with Shen Qing's obedience.
Back then, he was just a bit late, and a Xu Yanchi suddenly appeared on the way and took her away. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he was afraid that she would hate him. He used all his self - control to refrain from snatching her back.
Unexpectedly, even the heavens were on his side. Xu Yanchi didn't regard her as his wife at all.
So in the residence of the Grand Princess, when he learned about Xu Yanchi's schemes, he immediately ordered someone to knock out that playboy and throw him into the mass grave. Then he entered that room himself.
All he could think was that since she was going to be with someone else, why couldn't that person be him?
At least, he could give her the greatest protection.
Watching her gradually show her claws against those who had bullied her, he found it extremely pleasing to the eye.
He had raised her so well. How could he tolerate her turning to someone else's arms?
Didn't he know what others were saying about him?
Arbitrary, cruel, inhumane, domineering, and now perhaps also licentious.
But so what? He had so many bad reputations. He wasn't afraid of adding one more. He could bear all the scolding.
Thinking of this, Ji Junye withdrew his thoughts and gently patted Shen Qing on the buttocks. "Go take a bath."
The blush on Shen Qing's face hadn't faded yet, and now it came back again.
"Didn't Doctor Qin say we can't..."
"How can you sleep without taking a bath?" Ji Junye looked at her, a flash of amusement quickly passing through his eyes. "Or does Qingqing think of that kind of thing as soon as she hears the word 'bath'?"
"Who thought of that!"
He even shifted the blame. She didn't know who had been aroused!
Shen Qing blushed and jumped off his lap. Hot water was always prepared. Soon, the faint sound of water came from the bathroom next door. Ji Junye found that not only did he not calm down, but he was even more aroused. He rubbed his temples with a headache.
Shen Qing took her time taking a bath. When she finished, Ji Junye had just returned from outside. He was wearing a nightgown casually, with a large expanse of fair chest exposed.
The remaining water droplets trickled down along his abdominal muscles and the line of his hips, disappearing into his black underpants. It made people feel extremely parched.
For a moment, Shen Qing felt that he seemed to be deliberately seducing her.
