The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

Yan Yongchen bowed and agreed, "I will live up to the emperor's trust and find out the person behind the scenes who deliberately destroyed the diplomatic relations between the two countries as soon as possible."

Coming out of the imperial study, Su Xingshan stopped Yan Yongchen and said, "Master Yan, wait a minute. I have something to tell you."

Yan Yongchen bowed and said, "Don't be polite, big brother. Just call me by my first name."

"Lord Yan is in his prime now, so I dare not act rashly." Su Xingshan said angrily, "You and I are both officials of Dafeng, and we should serve the people and the country wholeheartedly. Lord Yan has completely ignored the virtues and obligations of an official? He just wants to be an obedient dog."

Being compared to a dog, Yan Yongchen showed no anger at all, and said calmly: "I eat the emperor's salary, I am loyal to the emperor, and I worry about the emperor. What have I done wrong?"

Su Xingshan snorted angrily, "What have you done wrong? Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. The emperor has ignored the will of the people and insisted on his own way. As a minister, you should have persuaded him more. You only care about winning favor and don't care about the interests of the people of Dafeng. Do you think you are doing the right thing?"

Yan Yongchen disagreed and said, "The relationship between the monarch and his subjects is that the monarch is in front and the subjects are behind. I only know that as a subject, I should put the monarch first."

Su Xingshan was so angry at his remarks that he was speechless. He just said, "People with different ideals cannot work together." Then he turned around and left.

In the following days, the Crown Prince and Prince Rui quarreled, rumors spread about the princess's marriage, and the daily morning court was more lively than the vegetable market.

Emperor Yuanjing was extremely annoyed and dismissed three officials in a row, but still failed to suppress the disputes in the court.

The emperor was so busy that he was dizzy, and things were much more relaxed at Prince Rong's Mansion.

After Yu Wantai took the antidote, his pulse recovered and his health began to improve. When Emperor Yuanjing learned about it, he simply sent the imperial physician to the mansion to inquire about the matter and then took no further action.

Yan Muxi thought that after Yu Wantai took the antidote, his body would recover as before, but he was still unable to get out of bed and needed her personal care before he could take care of himself.

Not only did she have to scratch and massage her itch every day, she also had to practice walking with the help of someone. Carrying Yu Wantai, who was twice her size, for a walk around the house, she felt like a chick being held under the wings of an eagle.

"Or, let Jixiang come and serve the prince!" Yan Muxi was not tall to begin with, and he was afraid that he would be crushed even shorter like this.

"Although Jixiang lacks some masculinity, he is also a genuine outsider. It is not convenient for him to serve in the inner courtyard." Yu Wantai's voice was still soft and weak, and he looked sick.

"Then, how about letting Dongyu come and serve?"

"There are differences between men and women, and it's not convenient."

Yan Muxi: “…”

It seems that it is convenient for her alone!

Not allowing Jixiang to enter the inner courtyard was for the sake of the reputation of the female family members, which was barely justifiable.

He actually used the reason of gender differences to offend her. This bastard prince started visiting brothels before his hair even grew fully grown. Could it be that all the people in brothels were men?

"Your Highness, if you dislike Dongyu, just say it clearly. I am not an outsider, so you don't have to beat around the bush. Qinghuan, Lingyin and the others are quite free, how about I call them over to serve the Young Master?"

Yu Wantai paused and looked down at Yan Muxi, "Does the Crown Prince's Consort really not want to serve me?"

Yan Muxi felt guilty when being stared at, and quickly denied, "No, why would I not want to serve the prince? I wish I could stay with the prince every day, and I would never get tired of serving him for the rest of my life."

"Then I will content myself with you, and allow you alone to serve me."

Yan Muxi was so angry that she wanted to grit her teeth. The dog prince is really a dog!

He was clearly just ordering someone around, but he spoke as if he was doing her a great favor.

Forget it, I'll just serve you. It's not like I have to serve you for the rest of my life anyway. It will be over in a few more days.

But after more than ten days, Yu Wantai still showed no signs of improvement and needed someone to support him to walk.

Yan Muxi is not a fool and realized that he might have been cheated.

After getting up that day, Yu Wantai lay there blankly, waiting to be served. She tried to test him, "Your Majesty's health is not getting better. I suspect the antidote in the pills has been left out for too long and is not very effective. How about you try taking another pill?"

"Don't waste it. My body is slowly recovering. The antidote will definitely work, it's just a little slow."

"But Aunt Ming said that after taking the antidote, the body will recover within three days at the latest. It has been nearly a month since the prince recovered and he is still not fully recovered. I am worried."

"It's good to recover slowly. Have you ever seen anyone with a serious illness recover all at once?" Yu Wantai said as a matter of course.

"Okay, you are the master, whatever you say is right." Yan Muxi confirmed that she had been deceived by the dog prince for more than a month.

Yu Wantai suppressed his smile. The girl forced a smile, but she must be furious inside.

He extended his arm, "Pull me up."

Yan Muxi glanced at the hand stretched out in front of her and tried to hold back her anger, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

In order to help the dog prince to resolve the trouble, she spent both money and effort, running around and working hard, but in the end she was deceived into working as a coolie.

Forget it, don't be angry. Serving your husband is a wife's duty, and it's all she should do.

"Hurry up, my arms are sore!" Yu Wantai urged, pretending to be angry.

Yan Muxi's anger, which had just been suppressed, rose up again. With a crisp "pa" sound, she slapped the hands in front of her away.

This time it was not imagination, she really took action. Looking at the red back of the hand that was hit, both of them were a little stunned.

Yan Muxi's heart skipped a beat, thinking to herself that this was not good. After being with the little bastard for so long, she had actually gotten carried away and forgotten the famous saying that one has to bow their heads under someone's roof.

She quickly put on a fearful expression and grabbed Yu Wantai's hand, "Ah, I just waved my hand, I didn't mean to hit you, does it hurt? Do you want me to help you apply some ointment?"

Yu Wantai resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "The Crown Prince's Concubine is treating me like a three-year-old child! She's even applying medicine. Do we need to invite another imperial physician to come over to take a look?"

"How could I have ever deceived the prince? I just feel sorry for him!" Yan Muxi tried hard to control her expression, determined not to make the same mistake she made last time when eating fish.

Yu Wantai sat up and stretched out his hands in front of Yan Muxi.

Yan Muxi looked at the big palm in front of her. The lines on the palm were clear and the fingers were white and slender. She didn't understand what Yu Wantai meant. Was he asking her to appreciate his hands?

"If you are angry, then you are angry. There is no need to hold it in. One hit is not enough. Hit a few more times to vent your anger." Yu Wantai said in a muffled voice.

Yan Muxi subconsciously denied, "I am not angry."

Yu Wantai looked into her eyes and said, "I am your husband. If you have to be careful and wear a mask in front of me, it would be too tiring."

Meeting the extremely serious eyes in front of him, Yan Muxi opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

She wanted to deny it, but the way Yu Wantai looked at her and the words he said seemed to have seen through her, so her denial was meaningless.
