Lin You's already flushed face instantly turned ripe.

She didn't dare move again.

Shen Jing'an pulled up her clothes on the edge of the pool to cover her body, and carried her out of the bath.

"Your Majesty, please put me down. If I run out of energy later..."

Lin You said weakly.

Shen Jing'an's face turned slightly green. After he moved away from the bathing pool, he put the person down, turned his back and asked her to put on her clothes.

He glanced around the bathtub. There was no incense or other things that could make poison. There was only the steamy bath water.

"You give us this drug again and again, do you want us to die in bed? You are so perverted!"

Lin You said while putting on his clothes, gritting his teeth.

"Get out first. I don't think the effect of this drug will dissipate for a while."

Shen Jingan turned around, took her hand, and walked out of the bathroom. Yan Zhi was waiting outside.

Seeing the two people coming out with flushed faces and the emperor still wet, his pupils rounded slightly.

This, Your Majesty, is this okay?

"Find me the person who put the drug in the bath."

Yan Zhi was just thinking about it when he suddenly heard the order.

Bath, drug?

Yan Zhi stared blankly at Shen Jingan and Lin You walking into the bedroom, unable to react.

If he was drugged, how did the emperor still have the strength to come out?

And that hoarse voice, those scarlet eyes, and the heat all over his body, why does it seem like he is unsatisfied?

"Brother, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and get to work!"

Yan Lu jumped out from the darkness, scaring Yan Zhi.

Half an hour later, Yan Zhi brought a palace maid into the hall. Lin You, who was lying on the dragon couch, yawned repeatedly and leaned lazily with his chin supported.

Shen Jing'an seemed to be in particularly good spirits tonight. Coming back from the bath, not only was his pace steady, but he was also full of hostility. Returning to the bedroom, he was still able to review memorials steadily.

Only when he saw Yan Zhi bringing people over did he put down the memorial in his hand.

"Your Majesty, I found a piece of paper wrapped in medicine powder on this maid."

"After inspection by the Imperial Pharmacy, this medicine is a spring medicine."

When it came to the last two words, Yan Zhi's embarrassed voice became a little smaller.

"Tell me, who gave you the medicine?"

Shen Jing'an glanced indifferently at the palace maid who was crawling on the ground and trembling.

If it was Prince Yu and Lin Xue's doing, they wouldn't use such a small character to deal with him and Concubine You.

The palace maid trembled and dared not make a sound.

Lin You, who was lying on the dragon couch, could hardly open her eyes, but she wanted to eat melons. Although she could get information from the system, she wanted to eat melons on the spot, which was more interesting.

However, her intuition told her that this was not the work of Lin Xue and Prince Yu, but it was definitely related to Lin Xue.

Seeing that the maid didn't say anything, Yan Zhi drew out his cold sword and put it against her neck.

Even at night, the sword flashed with a cold light. The palace maid's face turned pale instantly, and she said with trembling lips: "Yes, yes, Empress Chan."

"It was Concubine Chan who asked this servant to do this."

Lin You raised his eyebrows, it turned out that it was Concubine Chan who was asking for trouble!

Yes, the only one who is close to Lin Xue right now is Concubine Chan.

"Purpose."

Shen Jingan uttered two words.

Yan Zhi put a little more force on the sword against her neck, and the maid burst into tears immediately. "Empress Chan, please let me, let me..."

"Let this servant use this medicine to serve the emperor."

"I see." A soft and charming voice sounded from the dragon couch, "So you thought the emperor would take a bath first, so you put the medicine in, but you didn't expect that I would take a bath first, which is why your plan failed."

Upon hearing this, the palace maid nodded tremblingly.

"No, so you're just going to miss this opportunity? That's too stupid!"

The little woman on the dragon couch suddenly sat up and changed the subject, looking quite disappointed in herself.

"Can't you think of other ways? For example, hide after giving me the drug, wait for Daya and the others to leave, and then come out when the emperor comes in to take the drug. Then you can do something with the emperor, and I can see it and cause misunderstanding."

Lin You became more and more excited as he spoke, and didn't notice at all that the aura of the man sitting at the desk had dropped to freezing point.

The entire bedroom seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and the cold air jumped up from the soles of everyone's feet to their heads. They stood there without daring to move, and cold sweats broke out.

Oh my god, could you please shut up!

Are you trying to kill yourself?

"Chan Fei is also stupid. She actually thought of some stupid methods. Lin Xue gave her the medicine, obviously wanting her to do it herself, but she ended up finding someone else to do it."

Lin You continued to complain. As soon as he finished speaking, a voice as cold as ice rang in his ears, "It seems that Concubine You feels that this plan has failed, which is a pity."

"what?"

Lin You didn't react for a moment to what he meant.

The system gently reminded [Host, didn’t you notice that the sickly emperor wanted to kill you! ]

[Yes, is there?]

Even as she asked this, Lin You had already noticed something was wrong. Her legs felt weak and she hurriedly started to massage Shen Jingan.

"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. I just think that the maids in Yunqian Palace should be thoroughly checked to prevent anyone from having any improper thoughts. Otherwise, I will worry that Your Majesty will be so worried that he won't even be able to attend court properly."

Shen Jing'an's expression remained calm, and it was obvious that he didn't believe Lin You's lies.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will make sure Concubine Chan has an explanation."

At the end, Lin You added another sentence.

Shen Jingan, who had been frowning, finally looked a little more relaxed.

Looking at the man who stood up, Lin You hurriedly waved for everyone to step back, then took a few steps over and climbed onto the dragon bed ahead of Shen Jing'an.

She crawled into her own quilt and closed her eyes happily. Suddenly, she thought of something, opened her eyes abruptly, looked at the man who was about to lie down, and opened her lips with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I haven't been sleeping properly lately. For your safety, I will use a pillow as protection."

As he spoke, Lin You took his pillow and placed it between the two of them, then moved inward.

Shen Jingan's picturesque eyebrows slightly frowned, and he uttered two cold words, "It's up to you."

Lin You laughed dryly twice and turned his back.

[Host, why are you so cowardly?]

The system asked quietly, and Lin You blushed slightly, "Which eye of yours saw me being cowardly? I've already said that I'm doing this for the safety of the sickly emperor."

What a joke! How could she not be timid? She could sleep without restraint before because Shen Jingan was not capable of doing so. But after what happened in the bathtub just now, she realized that he was capable of doing so, so naturally she had to be on guard.

The key point is that the sickly emperor tonight doesn't look so sick anymore, and it seems as if the effect of the medicine has not completely worn off, and there is always a hint of aggression in his eyes.

[System, I am warning you. You must keep an eye on Shen Jingan tonight. If he makes any movement, you must wake me up immediately.]

[Sleep peacefully, host lady. I will definitely keep you safe. 】

Weird.

The undercurrent in that sickly emperor's eyes is about to burst out. How dare this prince monitor him!
