The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 846

Chapter 846: 388 Extra Clingy (Second Update)_3

But Xiao Liulang was no longer the naive youth he once was; he had developed his own thoughts, his own strategies, and even the cunning necessary for an official.

He lowered his gaze and sighed, "Originally, there was no antidote. However, Jiaojiao once made pills that specifically counteract drugs of confusion. I think they might be somewhat effective."

"Is that true?" the Emperor’s eyes lit up instantly.

Xiao Liulang said, "I’ll go get them for Your Majesty to try. Jiaojiao’s medicines are very safe; they won’t harm the body even if they don’t work."

The Emperor said with joy, "If it really works, I’ll remember your merit."

Xiao Liulang said, "The medicine was made by Jiaojiao; the merit is hers, not your humble subject’s."

Despite his words, the Emperor took note of the merits of both individuals.

He had wronged the Empress Dowager Zhuang for many years, and had forgotten some things himself, possibly recalling everything once he took the medicine.

Furthermore, there seemed to be a barrier between him and Empress Dowager Zhuang that prevented him from moving forward, which he suspected was the effect of the black pills.

If Xiao Liulang knew what he was thinking, he would surely tell him, That’s just your obstinacy as a son, Your Majesty!

Xiao Liulang soon brought the pills; there were three in total.

In fact, they were meant for Gu Chenglin’s hair growth and had no side effects.

The Emperor, a middle-aged man, also suffered a bit from hair loss, so taking Hair Growth Pills could be good for him.

Xiao Liulang handed the Hair Growth Pills to the Emperor and said without any change in expression, "One pill should be enough, by reason. If the effect isn’t sufficient, take another."

His implication was clear: three pills were more than enough.

"Will it really work?" the Emperor asked.

"Your Majesty must have faith in Jiaojiao’s medical skills," Xiao Liulang replied.

"That’s also true," the Emperor paused, then as something occurred to him, he asked, "What if one takes too much? Will the effect double, or will it be counterproductive?"

Xiao Liulang looked deeply at the Emperor and said, "The effect will double, and you might become..."

"Become what?" the Emperor asked anxiously.

"Especially clingy."

"Ah..."

The Emperor was scared.

He certainly didn’t want that; as the sovereign of the nation, the supreme ruler, how could he act so indignantly?

One pill.

One pill was enough!

Suddenly feeling a need to relieve himself, the Emperor put the bottle of pills on the table in the main chamber and went to the Greeting Room.

The old Sacrificial Official sneaked out of the kitchen; Zhuang Jinse had come over today to play cards in the next room, and he was making Brown Sugar Glutinous Rice Cakes for her.

He asked, "Is there really an Antidote?"

Xiao Liulang said, "It’s fake, they’re Hair Growth Pills."

The old Sacrificial Official: "..."

When the Emperor came out of the Greeting Room, the old Sacrificial Official had already returned to the kitchen to cook. The Emperor intended to bring the antidote back to the palace, but unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Zhuang came over from playing cards in the next room.
