Yue Yan's little face suddenly turned cold, and she let out an annoyed cold laugh.
"Elder Brother Yang is not someone else, he is also My Princess's royal elder brother. He and Concubine Xuan have always been very good to me. How could we be considered accomplices? Mother forbade me from seeing Eldest Prince anymore, Elder Brother Yang and Concubine Xuan were just...helping me fulfill my wish."
"Princess..." Zi Yuan tried to advise her but to no avail. Worried, she burst into tears.
More and more displeased, Princess Yue Yan kicked the annoying Zi Yuan away, "Enough, stop blabbering. Hurry and stand guard outside the door, do not let anyone in, otherwise, I will skin you alive before Mother can punish you."
Zi Yuan cried bitterly and crawled out the door. Under the gaze of the princess, she had no choice but to shut the door tightly.
The room became silent as a needle drop could be heard.
Princess Yue Yan sat back on the couch, staring at the man's sharp contours. She slowly reached out her fingertips and stroked his straight bridge nose. Her heart pounded so hard it almost jumped out of her throat.
"Eldest Prince... To think this day would come..."
She was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't expect that one day she could be alone with him like this.
Since young he had always been cold. At fifteen, he grew even more wise and martial.
Although his face always seemed a little haggard, it could still calmly steal everyone's attention.
He was cold and abstinent, like a touch of snow on top of a mountain, exuding a stay-away aura.
She had never dared to get too close to him. Every time she got within five steps of him, she would start breathing rapidly, losing control of her mind.
And now, seeing his face up close, it made her even more dizzy.
After liking and admiring him for so many years, her biggest wish was to marry him and become his wife.
And now, her wish was about to come true!
"Eldest Prince, you're too handsome. Yue Yan has never seen a more handsome man than you. Neither the royal elders nor Father could compare to you..."
In her excitement, she carefully touched his outer robe...
Her body suddenly felt electrified, with hot flushed cheeks.
This...
What should she do when he wakes up later...
Yue Yan felt her brain had become a complete mess.
"Eldest Prince..."
"Do you know...how much I like you?"
"I... I want..."
"Open your eyes and look at me..."
The man on the bed frowned slightly, gradually forming a small mountain character.
Yue Yan instantly became spirited, fiddling nervously with her clothes as she recalled Elder Brother Yang's words.
"The drug will make him fall unconscious for a period of time, don't worry Princess, the longer he stays unconscious, the deeper the drug can penetrate his extraordinary meridians. When he shows symptoms due to the aphrodisiac effect of the drug, it will be a great time for the Princess and Eldest Prince to enjoy pleasure. But by then, the Eldest Prince may become someone else, so the Princess must be careful."
Blurry rays of light spilled in through the window lattices, outlining the elegant profile of the person on the bed.
Princess Yue Yan's face grew redder.
Unable to restrain herself, she reached out and hooked her fingers around his long, slightly curved ones, nervously waiting for the man on the bed to wake up.
Zhao Changdu's brows were deeply furrowed. He felt as if his whole body was being roasted in a boundless sea of fire. From deep down, an uncontrollable force urgently needed release.
He slowly opened his eyes, but it was as if a layer of light gauze blocked his vision and he couldn't see clearly.
He vaguely saw a woman with blurred features before him. Seeing him open his eyes, she happily snuggled into his arms, babbling something with moving lips.
"Eldest Prince, you're finally awake..."
"Eldest Prince..."
"Eldest Prince, it's me, Yue Yan..."
Zhao Changdu felt very uncomfortable inside, as if he was forcibly stuffed with a strong inner force that spread through his blood vessels and bones. At first he didn't have much strength.
With just a blink, he felt his whole body tense up from the inside out.
He firmly grabbed the woman's wrist. His thin lips parted slightly, his voice low and hoarse, "A Ying... is that you?"
Yue Yan was so startled by his big hand squeezing her that she felt her bones would shatter.
How could he mistake her for A Ying!
Enduring the pain with a red face, she snuggled into the man's arms, "Eldest Prince, it's me...I'm Yue Yan..."
Hearing this, the man knitted his brows tightly and narrowed his dark eyes to look at the woman in his arms.
Although he couldn't see the face of the woman clearly, as soon as he smelled the sweet powdery fragrance on her, he knew something was off. Instantly displeased, he pushed the woman away, "Who are you?"
In panic, Yue Yan tumbled to the ground.
"Eldest Prince, are you feeling very uncomfortable? Yue Yan can help you detox..."
Zhao Changdu got up from the couch, sat at the edge with a domineering aura, spreading his sturdy, powerful legs apart. He rested his hands on his knees with two fingers pinching his eyebrows in annoyance as he took off his cloak.
But it still didn't feel like enough. With lazy ease, his two fingers casually pulled his clothes apart.
His broad and mighty chest was exposed.
Yue Yan's cheeks grew hot again as she lowered her head, not daring to look at the man.
...
No matter what, tonight, she had to succeed, failure was not an option!
She didn't rashly move closer. Since the Eldest Prince had mistaken her for A Ying, then pretend to be A Ying it was.
She just wanted to become the Eldest Prince's woman, no matter the method.
Princess Yue Yan patiently waited for a while. She raised her eyes to see the handsome face of the man on the couch getting redder, breathing heavier and gaze turning deeper crimson.
Mustering her courage, she slowly got up and sat down beside him, gently coaxing, "Du... can you still recognize me? I...I'm your A Ying."
When the man turned to look at her, his eyes were like those of a fierce, bloodthirsty trapped beast.
Yue Yan swallowed nervously, staring unblinkingly into his deep eyes, afraid her act would be seen through.
Scared out of her wits, she instinctively pleaded for mercy, "El...Eldest Prince...I...I didn't mean to deceive you..."
But the next second, the man...
With eyes blazing as they locked on to hers, "A Ying..."
Yue Yan's eyes instantly lit up. Such an alluring Eldest Prince was truly irresistible.
She had never seen the usually cold and aloof Eldest Prince be so seductive.
"It's me, Eldest Prince..."
Zhao Changdu mistook her for A Ying, his tone softening slightly, "A Ying, is it really you?"
She quickly took the opportunity, "Yes...it's really me."
Yue Yan nervously swallowed again as waves of unfamiliar fragrance assaulted her.
The man seemed to regain some sanity again as he forcefully shook his head.
"You are not A Ying!"
Scared out of her wits, Yue Yan hurriedly grabbed his collar, "I am! I really am! If you don't believe me, come take a closer look..."
Zhao Changdu stared at her intently...
Yue Yan's heart missed a beat as she raised her head to look at the Eldest Prince she loved most, whose eyes were no longer clear...
Yue Yan's little face suddenly turned cold, and she let out an annoyed cold laugh.
"Elder Brother Yang is not someone else, he is also My Princess's royal elder brother. He and Concubine Xuan have always been very good to me. How could we be considered accomplices?
