Chapter 307: Riverside Town (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Riverside Town was not big. There were only a few hundred households from the south to the north.

Because of the Prince of Jing’s order not to disturb the people, the imperial guards pitched tents on the street to rest. It was almost autumn, and the weather was cool. Other than not sleeping comfortably, there were no major problems.

Ye Jingtang, wearing a tattered robe, was walking along the street with the Roaring Dragon Spear. Along the way, he greeted the chief constables of the Black Office he knew. Then he arrived at the carriage in the center of the town without any obstruction.

The carriage had stopped outside a decent inn. There were some maids and guards tidying up the inn so that the Prince of Jing could stay there temporarily. For safety reasons, the carriage had to be cleared out and carefully inspected. It hadn’t been cleared out yet, and Dongfang Liren was still in the carriage.

As soon as Ye Jingtang walked nearby, he saw a light in the carriage window. Dumdum was sitting by the window, feeding the bird snacks. When she saw him, her eyes were obviously happy, but in order to maintain the demeanor of a princess, she deliberately put on a cold and serious expression and waited.

Clang!

Ye Jingtang placed the Roaring Dragon Spear on the ground and said with a smile, “Your Highness arrived so quickly.”

“I just arrived this afternoon. Come in.” After Dongfang Liren nodded in greeting, she looked at Ye Jingtang’s sweaty and flushed face and asked in doubt, “Did you just fight?”

“I discovered the Prince of Wu’s whereabouts in the afternoon. I fought and killed for half the night. The soldiers are chasing after the Prince of Wu. He shouldn’t be able to escape…”

Ye Jingtang entered the carriage and sat down on the couch. After wiping the sweat off his face, he took out a yellowed book from his belt and handed it to Dongfang Liren. “This is something good I found today. There’s a Snow Lake Powder formula in it that can replace the Snow Lake Flower. This thing is very important. Your Highness, it’s best to make a copy now and arrange for someone to send it back to the capital…”

“Snow Lake Powder…” Dongfang Liren took the medicine book and looked at it. Knowing that it was very important, she put it away in her arms. Then she took a towel, got up, and sat beside Ye Jingtang. She helped wipe the sweat off his forehead and said in a dignified voice, “1 asked you to come here to assist in the investigation, not risk your life. Why are you so tired like… like…”

Her words came to an abrupt halt.

Ye Jingtang was dizzy from his restless qi and blood. It was normal at first, but when the dazzling and attractive Dumdum sat beside him, a faint fragrance assaulted his face. Her fiery red lips were just inches away, and his mind was a little restless.

Seeing Dongfang Liren helping wipe his sweat, Ye Jingtang subconsciously lowered his hand, and it naturally landed on her plump part that he shouldn’t have touched…

Dongfang Liren felt the burning sensation from behind her waist. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and she sat up straight. Her heroic eyes stared at Ye Jingtang in disbelief.

After being glared at, Ye Jingtang realized that he had placed his hand on the wrong place. He hurriedly raised his hand and patted the ruffled part of the python robe. “Sorry, 1 was distracted…”

Pa, pa, pa-

?!

Dongfang Liren was stunned. She never expected that Ye Jingtang would dare to blatantly take advantage of her when there were hundreds of imperial guards outside. What if someone saw this?!

“Ye Jingtang!” Dongfang Liren frowned. She grabbed Ye Jingtang’s wrist and said coldly, “Are you out of your mind? Don’t think that you can be arrogant and out of control just because you’ve made some minor achievements. Do you really think 1 won’t teach you a lesson?”

Ye Jingtang also felt that he was a little out of control. He raised his hand and explained, “1 took the wrong medicine. My mind isn’t clear. Your Highness, please don’t blame me…”

“Took the wrong medicine?” Dongfang Liren looked at Ye Jingtang’s lustful expression. He indeed looked like he had taken the wrong medicine. She held his wrist. “Were you poisoned? What poison? An aphrodisiac?”

Ye Jingtang shook his head. “It’s not an aphrodisiac. Just now, I fought with the Prince of Wu’s people and used a medicinal pill similar to the Great Nourishment Pill, but it was too much. There’s no big problem. It’s just that… uhh… my essence qi is in my brain, and my internal heat is high…”

Dongfang Liren checked Ye Jingtang’s pulse carefully and found that his qi and blood were abnormally surging, but there was indeed no serious problem. She asked, “So, what should we do now?”

Ye Jingtang’s gaze involuntarily moved down and landed on the valiant and majestic fat-headed dragon. He quickly looked away. “It’s nothing. I’ll just go back and take a bath…”

Dongfang Liren lowered her head and looked at her chest. She didn’t reprimand Ye Jingtang because he had been drugged due to work. She stood up and said, “There’s bath water prepared. Take a bath and change your clothes first. 1’11 get a doctor to take a look at you.”

When Ye Jingtang heard that he was taking a bath, he couldn’t help recalling the impact of the meatballs in the Bright Yang Pool. His eyes kept glancing in front of Dongfang Liren. In order to prevent his limbs from being unruly, he simply hugged and rubbed the bird, who had been eating at the side. “I’m not sick. It’s just that my qi and blood are too strong. I don’t think the doctor will be able to say anything else. Why don’t 1 go back first and visit Your Highness tomorrow…”

Dongfang Liren had been separated from Ye Jingtang for so many days, and it hadn’t been easy for her to see him. They hadn’t even spoken much, and he looked abnormal. How could she let him leave? She reached out and snatched the bird away. “Go take a bath first.”

After being scolded by Liren, Ye Jingtang didn’t say anything else. He bent down and walked out of the carriage.

Dongfang Liren placed the bird beside the snack box and let it continue eating. After tidying up her python robe, she got out of the carriage with a dignified expression and entered the inn.

The innkeeper and servers in the inn had already been vacated elsewhere. There were imperial guards standing around as guards, and inside, four accompanying maidservants were running up and down, preparing the room where Dongfang Liren would sleep and hot water.

Splash! Splash!

When Dongfang Liren heard the sound of water pouring from the second floor, she brought Ye Jingtang upstairs and instructed the maids who were busy inside, “Help Young Master Ye take a bath and go call Imperial Physician Zhang over..”
