Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 253 Addiction



Chapter 253 Addiction

"His Royal Highness Prince Yi has always been calm and measured in his actions. He knows his limits."

"Besides, Prince Yi's Mansion is so big, and Xue Si will stay in the front guest house, so he won't disturb Princess Yi."

Lady Xiangguogong understood all this in her heart, but she couldn't help but complain.

She glared at Duke Xiangguo and said, "Just spoil him!"

Duke Xiangguo naturally favored this youngest son.

But when it comes to doting, the wife of the Duke of Xiangguo was even more doted on.

But Duke Xiangguo dared not say this out loud, otherwise he would have no peace tonight.

He was just about to persuade Lady Xiangguo to go to bed early when he heard her say, "Prince Yi is only one year older than Xuesi. Now he has a princess and a son. Look at our Xuesi, who is still single."

"I think we should find him a good match."

"If he gets married soon, someone will take care of him!"

Duke Xiangguo naturally had no objection.

"Then you can pick out some good ladies from among the ladies in the capital and let him see them."

The Duke of Xiangguo was a man and didn't know much about the ladies in the capital, so naturally this matter had to be handled by the Duke of Xiangguo's wife.

But when the topic of seeing each other was brought up, the wife of the Duke of Xiangguo couldn't help but get angry.

"It's not like we didn't make arrangements before, but this kid didn't like this or that."

"I don't know what kind of person he wants to find. Is he looking for a fairy?"

"Last time, in order to avoid the appointment I arranged for him, he ran off to Jiangzhou alone without even saying hello."

……

The wife of the Duke of Xiangguo complained for a while, but when she saw that there was no movement beside her, she turned around and saw that the Duke of Xiangguo had fallen asleep without her knowing.

She was speechless for a moment.

After secretly sulking for a while, he went to bed.

At this time, in Prince Yi's mansion, Xiao Jingyi and Yun Fuling were about to rest after washing up, when a servant suddenly reported outside the door: "Your Majesty, something is wrong with the Third Young Master, please go over and take a look!"

Xiao Jingyi's face changed when he heard that. He stood up and was about to leave, but Yun Fuling grabbed his arm.

"I'll go with you."

Xiao Jingyi seemed to have thought of something and nodded immediately.

The two of them quickly put on their coats, tidied themselves up a bit, and went to the guest house where Zhao Xuesi lived.

As soon as I arrived at the guest house, before I even entered the door, I heard a crackling sound of things being thrown.

Xiao Jingyi and Yun Fuling looked at each other, and Xiao Jingyi took a quick step and went in first.

The room was in a mess, Zhao Xuesi's clothes were disheveled and his face showed pain.

He curled up on the ground, tearing at his clothes and hair.

Zhao Xuesi's personal servant knelt beside him, frightened and at a loss what to do.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Jingyi's face turned gloomy.

Zhao Xuesi heard the noise, turned around, and saw that the person coming was Xiao Jingyi. His red eyes suddenly lit up.

Just like a drowning man grabs a piece of driftwood, a traveler in the desert sees an oasis.

He crawled a few steps towards Xiao Jingyi, holding tightly onto the corner of his robe.

"My Lord, let me take another sip of the golden cream!"

"Please, Ah Yi, please..."

"I feel so uncomfortable, just let me take one more breath, just one breath!"

If Xiao Jingyi believed Yun Fuling's words before, it was because he trusted Yun Fuling as a person and knew that she would not say those alarmist words to deceive him.

But when he saw Zhao Xuesi's appearance with his own eyes, the shock and pain in his heart were difficult to describe in words.

The harm of the golden paste was even more terrifying to him than what Yun Fuling described.

Yun Fuling was originally just guessing, but she still held a glimmer of hope in her heart.

After all, Zhao Xuesi only smoked it twice, so he might not be addicted.

Keeping Zhao Xuesi in Prince Yi's mansion was just for safety reasons.

I didn't expect that he would actually get addicted.

It seems that the golden ointment is even more powerful than Yun Fuling knew.

She was extremely grateful at this moment.

Fortunately, it was discovered early and Zhao Xuesi could still be saved. Otherwise, if Zhao Xuesi continued to suck the golden paste without her knowledge, he would probably be ruined.

She was also glad that she had left Zhao Xuesi in Prince Yi's mansion today.

If no one was watching him, Zhao Xuesi would have secretly bought the golden paste and smoked it if he had become addicted.

Seeing that Xiao Jingyi was indifferent, Zhao Xuesi couldn't help but turn his gaze to Yun Fuling who was standing beside him.

He thought of his box of golden cream which was taken away by Yun Fuling, and immediately reached out to grab the hem of Yun Fuling's skirt.

"Sister-in-law, give me back the golden paste..."

"I beg you!"

"Let me take one more puff, just one puff."

"I swear, after I smoke it this time, I will never touch it again!"

"Sister-in-law, please..."

Yun Fuling remained unmoved and said to Xiao Jingyi, "Hold him down."

Xiao Jingyi nodded and held Zhao Xuesi down as Yun Fuling said.

Zhao Xuesi immediately began to struggle violently.

For some reason, Zhao Xuesi became extremely strong, and Xiao Jingyi could hardly hold him down by himself.

He turned around to look at the servants in the room and shouted, "Are they all dead? Come over and help!"

Zhao Xuesi's personal attendant suddenly came to his senses and immediately stepped forward to help hold down Zhao Xuesi's legs and feet.

Yun Fuling took out a needle bag from her sleeve, picked up a few silver needles, and quickly inserted them into several acupuncture points on Zhao Xuesi's body.

As the silver needle entered the acupuncture point, Zhao Xuesi, who was originally anxious and restless, gradually calmed down.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses.

Yun Fuling then took the silver needles off his body and said to Xiao Jingyi, "You take care of him while I make some medicine for him."

Yun Fuling had encountered drug addicts in her previous life and had several prescriptions to help them quit drugs. Now she could try them on Zhao Xuesi.

After Yun Fuling left, Zhao Xuesi took a long time to relax before sitting up from the ground.

Although he became anxious and restless and had difficulty controlling his behavior just now, his memories were still there.

Thinking of his ugly out-of-control behavior just now, Zhao Xuesi couldn't help but raise his hands to cover his face, unable to accept it for a moment.

Xiao Jingyi dismissed the servants in the room and sat down next to Zhao Xuesi.

He patted Zhao Xuesi on the shoulder and said, "Fortunately, we discovered it early. Everything can still be salvaged!"

Zhao Xuesi felt only fear in his heart.

Fortunately, he mentioned the golden paste during a casual conversation today, and Yun Fuling recognized that it was not a good thing.

Otherwise, he would gradually become addicted, and by the time he discovered it, it would be too late.

He had only smoked it twice.

After he arrived at the guest house, he originally planned to rest.

Who knew that he would gradually feel hot and restless, upset and unable to control his desire for the golden ointment.

He thought of Yun Fuling's words and realized that he might be addicted to the golden paste.

So I tried my best to endure it.

He knew that Yun Fuling would not tell lies to others.

He didn't want to be like what Yun Fuling said, relying on the golden paste for a long time, unable to quit, and then becoming emaciated and dying of weakness.

He had only used it twice, so it wasn't that difficult to quit at this point.

But the facts made Zhao Xuesi realize that quitting the golden paste is easier said than done!
