Chapter 76: Bai Jiao Hong

  Dark humor jokes, suitable for you?

  Ling Wang Fu, Chun Chi Yard.

  Yuan Longqiao sat at the head of the bed, letting Xia Tian's head rest on his leg, with both hands pressing on her shoulders to stop her from moving around. Qing Ming sat at the edge of the bed, intently feeling Xia Tian's pulse.

  In the summer, her body was constantly restless and squirming, her little head kept rubbing against Yuan Long's legs, her cheeks were red like clouds, and her mouth made vague and unclear murmurs.

  "What's going on?" Looking at her like this, even Yuan Longqiao's calm temperament couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

  She sprang up from the bed, avoiding him like a snake, "She was poisoned with the most toxic **- Baizhou Red. The medicine was put in the wine, and its potency was triggered dozens of times without any sign. The characteristic of this ** is that it repels when encountered by the same sex, but attracts when encountered by the opposite sex. It's a very despicable trick often used to control those passionate girls in the brothel."

  "Despicable!" Yuan Long's face turned iron-green as he punched the bed board, his whole body trembling with rage. "They want to humiliate Xiao Tian in public and use this opportunity to shame me! Qing Ming, can you concoct an antidote?"

  Qing Ming shook his head, "There is no antidote, only a way to walk."

  Looking down at the summer that was silently enduring its suffering, Yuan Longqiao couldn't bear it and felt a pang of sympathy. He furrowed his brow, somewhat embarrassed, and said: "The marriage with the Wang family has not yet concluded, I still need to hurry back."

  "After a moment of silence, Qing Ming gritted his teeth and said, 'If you trust me, maybe I can try.'"

  "I naturally trust you, but what are you going to do?"

  "First, use a silver needle to seal her acupoints, then use masculine energy to stabilize her blood vessels. This way, she might be able to hold on for about an hour or so."

  Ding stared at him, and Yuan Long remained silent for a long time.

  The silence made Qing Meng extremely uneasy, and his original reluctance became even more intense. "Let's just pretend I didn't say anything, you know what to do, I'll leave first." He hastily turned around and left, but almost bumped into a nearby table due to his flustered state.

  "Qīng Miǎo!" Yuán Lóng Qiào shouted at him, "I trust you, Little Tian... I'll hand it over to you."

  His footsteps came to a halt, his lowered eyelashes couldn't help but quiver slightly, and he secretly sighed in his heart. He knew that doing so would only make things difficult for himself, but how could he refuse his request!

  "That's enough, stop making a racket. What time is it? Where has Eldest Third gone? Little Seven, speak!" Yuan Longkui's face was cold and stern, his gaze sweeping over his brothers who were still drinking and reveling, the hall suddenly falling silent.

  Yuan Longlin held a wine bowl and smiled as he came over, his drunken eyes dazed and confused, "Third brother went where, how would I know?! His capacity for liquor is not as good as mine, who knows, maybe he's drunk somewhere right now!"

  "Go ahead and brag, Third Brother's capacity for liquor won't be less than yours!" Yuan Longchun walked up to Yuan Longlin from behind, slapping his shoulder heavily.

  Yuan Longlin's eyebrows immediately stood up, and he poured half of the wine into Yuan Longchun's bowl with a huff, provocatively saying: "Fourth brother doesn't believe me? Then let's have another contest!"

  "Come on then! Second brother, fifth younger brother, let's go together, or else this kid won't be afraid of us!"

  "That's enough!" Yuan Longkui slammed his hand on the table, "Is it over or not?! Today, with brothers not all present, there is no need to hold the ceremony of Na Fu and Cai Ji."

  "How can that be? Without this ceremony, the wedding is not considered complete." Yuan Longchun shouted loudly.

  A steward walked in with big strides, whispered a few words into Yuan Longkai's ear. Yuan Longkai slightly furrowed his brow and immediately returned to normal, "Got it, you can go down first."

  "Wait!" Zhen Fei suddenly stood up, walked around the main table to the only person who had not drunk or spoken all night, Yuan Longji, and went to the front of the servant. Her eyes were sharp but her tone was still gentle and soft as she asked: "Have you found Ling Wangfei?"

  The eunuch looked at Zhen Fei with some trepidation, then hastily lowered his head and stuttered: "No."

  Summer didn't show up, and Yuan Longqiao also disappeared along with him. It seems that Yuan Longqiao took Summer away. The Empress's gaze swept across Yuan Longqi's face, seemingly unintentionally. With a subtle change in her expression, she loudly announced to the crowd: "Today is the wedding day of the Crown Prince, but the Third Prince is absent without reason, which is not proper. After I return to the palace, I will certainly report this to His Majesty."

  "Wait a minute." Yuan Longqi stepped forward, "Zhen Fei Niangniang, on the day of Third Brother's wedding, Longqi and Seventh Brother did not attend either. Today, Third Brother must have something urgent to deal with that he had to leave suddenly, let's not tell Emperor Father about this matter!"

  Zhen Fei's eyes flickered, and she seemed a bit shaken.

  "No way!" Yuan Longkui harshly interjected, "Back then you were all busy with your own affairs, and Third Brother just mysteriously disappeared, delaying Fifth Brother's auspicious ceremony. The Emperor Father had Empress Zhen come here precisely because he was afraid of something going wrong. How can we not let the Emperor Father know now?!"

  "Yes, Third Brother relies on being the king to be so fearless and lawless. If it were us, those unfavored marquises, we would have been dragged to the Ministry of Punishment for questioning long ago." Yuan Longchun sat back at the table, propping up his legs with a mischievous glint in his eye, eager to fan the flames of chaos.

  Yuan Long's eyebrows furrowed, and he gave Xia Feng a signal with his eyes, wanting to stall for another moment by singing together. Suddenly, a clear and cold voice slowly rose: "Who said the king left without reason? The king is right here!"

  A silver needle was inserted into Xia Tian's acupoints with precision, and each time a needle was inserted, Xia Tian let out a painful moan. Qing Ming's face showed an even deeper look of disgust. After the needles were removed, he sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and let her rest her head on his body.

  Before long, summer began to stir restlessly again, muttering something indistinctly in her mouth, and her soft body snaked up to cling to him.

  Qing Ming furrowed his brow, suppressing the intense disgust and hatred in his heart. No matter how she struggled, he remained still as a clock. Suddenly, his lips felt a chill, and something soft and fragrant kept trying to enter his mouth. Realizing what it was, his breathing quickened instantly, his heartbeat became irregular, and his pores opened up, inexplicably producing an uncontrollable sweat. With great force, he pushed her away, panting heavily with his mouth agape, completely disbelieving the reaction of his own body.

  On the other hand, Xia Tian had already completely lost her rationality in the summer. The suffocating heat made her feel restless and irritable, as if there were thousands of ants crawling and biting inside her body, making her extremely itchy. She could only rely on her instincts to get close to what could make her release her passion and relieve the itchiness.

  Here is the translation:

  She's at it again! Qing Meng unconsciously dodged backwards, but no matter what she couldn't escape her entanglement. The silver needle in her hand rose and fell, Xia Tian let out a miserable cry, suddenly falling to one side as his body convulsed uncontrollably.

  Let's take a look at something else first.
