The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1261

Chapter 1261: 615 Clearing the General Ledger (One More Update)

In the backyard, having witnessed the entire process of Viscount Xuanping being dragged away in a sack, Gu Jiao and Xiao Hen were simply at a loss for words.

It took Xiao Hen a long while before he could find a bit of his voice again, "My mother... she’s that fierce?"

Of course, Princess Xinyang wasn’t normally that ferocious, but that was after being drugged, wasn’t it?

"I guess it’s the effect of the medicine," Gu Jiao whispered softly.

In her past life within the Organization, they had specialized drug training; she had tested every kind of drug and had successfully withstood them all, except she had never come across Illusion Number One.

It was said to be because the effects were too powerful; it was one of the three prohibited drugs in the Organization.

Xiao Hen’s hand broke out in a cold sweat, "Then this..."

He didn’t finish his sentence, but Gu Jiao understood. She said, "Effective with just a drop."

Xiao Hen’s cold sweat broke out again, "Then how much did my mother drink?"

Gu Jiao silently held up her fingers, "Two bottles."

Xiao Hen heard the sound of the sky falling; he stared blankly and asked, "So, should I be worried about my mother right now, or should I be worried about my father?"

Tonight was destined to be a restless night, the sky turned abruptly at dusk, with lightning and thunder, strong winds blew, and heavy rain poured down all night.

...

Princess Xinyang woke up amidst a wave of soreness. Her head hurt, her legs hurt, every part of her body ached.

For a moment, she couldn’t come to her senses and thought she was still in the Vermilion Bird Avenue Mansion; she mumbled in a daze, "Yujin."

As soon as she spoke, she felt a burning pain in her throat, and her voice was so hoarse it was unrecognizable.

"Yujin."

She called out again.

This time she was certain it wasn’t an illusion; she truly felt both tired and hoarse.

"Am I sick?"

She slowly lifted her sore arm, gasping from the pain. She intended to rub her forehead but touched something not quite right.

She opened her eyes wide to see.

Under her was—

Her complexion changed, and she rolled off that ghastly body with a swish!

She violently grabbed the blanket to cover herself and instinctively kicked the other person twice with her foot!

"Hmm..."

Viscount Xuanping was awakened by the kick; a magnetic low moan emerged from his throat, the man’s voice was also hoarse, but unlike the woman’s, it was differently mature and enchanting.

Princess Xinyang wished her ears would go deaf immediately!

She had not fallen off onto the floor, but rather to the inside of the bed.

The bed wasn’t large, or perhaps it was because the other person was too tall; stretched out, he took up the entire length. To get out of bed, she would have to crawl over him.

And he did not have a single piece of intact clothing on his body... none.

Princess Xinyang felt suffocated with one glance and hurriedly covered her eyes with the quilt!

At this moment, she also wished she could go blind!

She could manage all matters with balance and composure, except she found it extremely difficult to interact with men.

After all, Viscount Xuanping was a man, and a thick-skinned one at that. After a brief moment of grogginess, he came to his senses.

He looked at Princess Xinyang who had covered herself with the quilt and narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Qin Fengwan, what tricks are you playing now?"

"You, you get out of the way!" Princess Xinyang said, sitting in the corner of the bed, covering her head with the quilt.

Viscount Xuanping’s expression darkened slightly as he looked at her, "Qin Fengwan, what is this tone of disgust? Do I need to remind you what exactly you did to me yesterday, no, yesterday and last night combined?"

Images started to form in Princess Xinyang’s mind.

Her body stiffened gradually.

Her quilt was only half-covered, mainly over her head, with her legs and feet exposed.

Viscount Xuanping glanced at her and sneered, "Remember now? Qin Fengwan, after so many years, your skills have improved. You deliberately had Yujin drug me, and when I wouldn’t take it, you snatched it and took it yourself, claiming it wasn’t an attempt at deception toward me!"

Neither of them was a fool; it would be implausible to not realize at this point that something was wrong with those two bottles of drugs.

But Princess Xinyang didn’t do it on purpose!

It was definitely the medicine given to her by little Jingkong for leg cramps, how could it... have such an effect?

If she claimed ignorance now, if she said she was innocent, this man probably wouldn’t believe her.

After all, he already suspected her intentions towards him on a normal day, and now that something had really happened... it was as if she could never clear her name, even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

Viscount Xuanping looked like he knew all along, "Can’t say anything now, can you? Knew you did it on purpose! How much wrong medicine did you take? You almost cost me half my life."

Princess Xinyang’s face turned beet red!

Can’t a grown man save himself some face?
