nChapter 22: Stubborn Duck

nMo Youyou immediately picked five women from Prince Jing’s Manor and taught them how to climb up the windows. After arranging everything, she sat by the door to rest out of boredom, waiting for Helian Yi to come out and thank her.

nWho knew that the five ladies who just went in, would come flying down out of the window one after another and would land in the Northern Courtyard? Mo Youyou who saw this scene was shocked. She quickly ran towards the window and watched as the last woman flew out as she muttered, “They can all fly? Why did they even make me teach them how to climb windows! Ah Really!”

nJust as she finished speaking, her entire frame suddenly got lifted. With a leap, she found herself inside Helian Yi’s hall.

nSoon after, Helian Yi’s chilly voice rang. The freezing aura around his body was scary.

n“Mo Youyou!”

n

n

nMo Youyou regained her senses. Turning her head, she took a look at Helian Yi and curiously asked:

n“What’s wrong, Royal Uncle? Why did you grab me? Has the poison been cured?”

n“Who permitted you to let those

nmaidservants? Hrm?”

nHe had been indifferent to women since he was young, and he did not allow women to approach him. Since he was born in the emperor’s mansion, he had always been on guard against other princes who would try to use women to harm him.

n

n

nMo Youyou was the first woman that he had come into contact with in all these years, and surprisingly, he did not resist her.

nHe knew the empress’s intentions, but as her son, he could not refuse. Ever since his mother fell ill, she became a completely different person and got doted upon by the Emperor. And to find out the reason, he had to take many risks.

nUsually, he could cure the poison, but he never thought that the empress would be so ruthless this time around. And would poison him with Wu Huan Powder!

nHer identity had yet to be determined, so Helian Yi could not casually make her disappear from the Imperial Palace. After all, she was still his mother, the ruler of the entire harem.

n

n

nMo Youyou, who had been scared witless by Helian Yi, came back to her senses and took the initiative to reply.

n“If I don’t let them in, who will treat your poison?”

n“This Prince doesn’t need it!”

n“Damn, you’re so stubborn!”

n“What did you say? Mo Youyou!”

nMo Youyou was too lazy to explain. Seeing Helian Yi’s body trembling non-stop, his face, neck, and even his back are drenched in sweat, she warned him coldly.

n“Tell me, what do you need me to do?”

nHearing Mo Youyou’s words, Helian Yi looked into her bright eyes and replied with a husky voice:

n

n

n“I fell for the Wu Huan Powder!”

nWhy did he feel that when he looked at Mo Youyou’s beautiful face, his throat was drying up and his body was even hotter than before?

nHe had always been uninterested in women and had thought that he was abnormal. However, after meeting Mo Youyou yesterday, everything seemed to have slowly slipped out of his control. He honestly reacted under her command! That kind of feeling was enough to make people want to die!

nMo Youyou looked at Helian Yi who was deep in thought, but before she could comprehend it, the effects of the Wu Huan Powder surfaced in her mind. The memory almost made her spat out blood. Wu Shang said that there was no cure other than females, did he mean that…?

nThen this meant that she was going to push Royal Uncle down, and help him cure the poison! But, did Wu Shang not know that she was about to get married to Prince Xiang? Ancient people were not as open-minded as modern people. If a girl marries, they must have a clean body.

nFurthermore, she, Mo Youyou, was not an ordinary person either, although she asked Helian Yi, he had also said that she was his niece-in-law, even if his age was not that far off. After being stunned for a moment, Mo Youyou looked at the man who was holding on to his life.

nAlthough she was not a lustful person, such a cold and imposing guy, his handsome appearance is not something that someone could ignore.

n“Royal Uncle, we are related, I feel that it is inappropriate.”

nHelian Yi did not care about what she said after and replied:

n“You and I are related because your grandmother and I’s mother are sisters.”

nRight after Helian Yi finished speaking, Mo Youyou blinked her eyes in shock, “What? Your mother and my mother’s mother are sisters? How young is your mother? And how old is my grandmother?”

n

n

nHelian Yi cursed in his heart. He should not have said all this nonsense to this damned woman! His body was about to collapse and other than this woman, he didn’t want any other near him. His vision slowly blurred, and seeing that, Mo Youyou quickly asked:

n“If I help you remove the poison, would you help me cancel my engagement to Prince Xiang?”

nHelian Yi was startled. Back then, because this Ninth Miss got involved with Helian Yu, Royal Father took Helian Yu’s intentions into deliberation and had casually agreed to Mo Youyou’s request. But now, she surprisingly wanted to end the engagement!
