The prince is fierce: Who dares to steal my woman?

Chapter 127 A romantic, very fickle

Xiao Jinyan then asked, "Do you have any medicine that can temporarily stop a person from breathing, making them appear as if they are dead?"

Upon hearing this, Green Pearl said softly, "Yes, it is a secret medicine called Turtle Breath Powder. After taking it, a person will fall into a state of suspended animation, not breathing for three days, just like a dead person. But after three days, they will naturally wake up and return to normal."

At this point, a hint of worry appeared in Green Pearl's eyes: "Husband, what do you need this medicine for? Have you encountered some intractable trouble?"

Xiao Jinyan shook his head slightly and said, "This is a long story. I want to use this medicine to save someone. In short, just give me the medicine."

Green Pearl parted her lips slightly, a sly glint in her eyes: "My lord, I can entrust that precious medicine to you, but how do you intend to reward me?"

As she spoke, her fingers slowly traced along Xiao Jinyan's strong arm, bringing a warm touch.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan smiled wryly and said indulgently, "Alright, tell me, what would satisfy you?"

A smug smile played on Green Pearl's lips as she extended her slender finger and gestured gently: "Six times. My husband must spend six nights with me in the rites of love as a way of repaying you. Not to mention that you've already repaid me once today, you still owe me four more from last time. If you think about it carefully, you owe me a total of ten nights in the arms of love."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan affectionately pinched the tip of Green Pearl's pert nose and laughed, "Alright, alright, once I recover, I will make up for these ten debts one by one and make you completely satisfied."

Upon hearing this, Green Pearl's face blossomed into a radiant smile. She nestled tightly in Xiao Jinyan's arms and said coquettishly, "Husband, you must keep your word, Green Pearl will remember."

Xiao Jinyan patted her back gently, soothing her tenderly: "Don't worry, my darling, I never break my word. But now we need to get up and change quickly, as we still need to go to Mianyue Pavilion to find Yang Rong today; we have important matters to discuss."

Upon hearing the words "Mianyue Pavilion," Lüzhu immediately wriggled in Xiao Jinyan's arms, feigning jealousy as she said, "Hmm, is my husband getting tired of the old and looking for the new? He's forgotten his old love now that he has a new one. I won't stand for that!"

Seeing this, Xiao Jinyan smiled and said softly, "Silly girl, you and Yang Rong are both my most beloved women now. There is no such thing as a new love or an old love. We are going to see her now to deal with some urgent matters. Hurry up and get dressed and get up."

Green Pearl parted her lips slightly and asked, "Husband, what is the purpose of your visit to Yang Rong?"

Xiao Jinyan smiled slightly and said slowly, "To be precise, I did not come here specifically for Yang Rong, but through her, I wish to find Hongxiu."

Upon hearing this, Green Pearl smiled mischievously and feigned jealousy, saying, "Oh dear, my husband, Yang Rong is probably a thing of the past in your heart now. Your old love is gone, and you've set your sights on Hongxiu, making you yearn for her. My husband, you're such a fickle lover."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan couldn't help but chuckle. He gently pinched Green Pearl's delicate cheek and said affectionately, "My little darling, don't talk nonsense. I'm here to see Hongxiu this time because I have important matters to discuss. They are of great importance and not something to be taken lightly."

Seeing this, Green Pearl nestled against Xiao Jinyan's strong arm and said softly, "Husband, I know I was just joking. By the way, husband, when you see Hongxiu, could you ask her for a few Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pills?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan frowned slightly and asked curiously, "What kind of magical thing is this Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill that makes you so concerned about it?"

Green Pearl parted her lips slightly, her eyes gleaming with cunning: "Husband, if you take this Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill, your power will surely increase greatly. At that time, why worry about not being able to repay those ten times of the Duke of Zhou's rites?"

Xiao Jinyan said helplessly, "Alright, in order to satisfy you, I will do as you say."

However, Green Pearl suddenly frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes. She gently shook her head and softly advised, "Perhaps we should not, my husband. Although the Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill can help increase one's power, it is ultimately not obtained naturally and may cause some damage to the body."

Seeing this, Xiao Jinyan felt a warm current surge in his heart. He gently stroked the tip of Green Pearl's nose and said with a smile, "You little rascal, you are always so considerate. Come on, let's get dressed and go to Mianyue Pavilion to find Yang Rong."

So, the two quickly dressed, their clothes fluttering, looking like a perfect couple, and walked hand in hand out of the room towards the Sleeping Moon Pavilion. The Sleeping Moon Pavilion, dimly lit under the night sky, had a unique charm. They climbed the steps and arrived at a side room upstairs.

At this moment, Yang Rong was sitting by the window, holding a cup of fragrant tea, savoring it slowly, her expression leisurely and content. Seeing Xiao Jinyan and Lü Zhu arrive together, she was startled, then put down her teacup and stood up to greet them: "You naughty boy, what brings you here?"

Xiao Jinyan smiled, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "If I said it was because I suddenly missed you, would you believe me?"

Yang Rong sneered and said, "Hmph, I don't believe it. Tell me, what brings you here this time? Don't tell me you just came to see me."

Xiao Jinyan said helplessly, "To be honest, Madam, I urgently need Hongxiu's help right now. This matter is of utmost importance, and you must help me find her."

Upon hearing this, Yang Rong sighed softly: "Hongxiu is always elusive. But I made an agreement with her that every full moon night, she would appear in a secluded forest thirty miles north of Jiankang City."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan secretly calculated that there were still three days until the full moon of this month.

"Madam, who exactly is this Hongxiu, that she is so mysterious and unpredictable?"

Yang Rong shook her head slightly, a complex look flashing in her eyes: "You don't know this, the reason why Hongxiu is so cautious is because she is in Liu Kun's harem, which is full of wolves and tigers. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger; if you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces."

After hearing this, Xiao Jinyan remained silent for a long time, a resolute glint in his eyes.

“Alright,” he finally said, “in that case, I will go to see her in person three days from now, on the night of the full moon.”

Yang Rong slowly took out a jade pendant carved with intricate patterns from her bosom and handed it to Xiao Jinyan: "Husband, this is something I keep close to my body. I have worn it since I was a child. Seeing it is like seeing me. If you hold this jade pendant, Hongxiu will obey your commands."

Xiao Jinyan took the jade pendant, looked at Yang Rong deeply, and said, "Madam, thank you very much."

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Rong interrupted him with a slightly reproachful look.

"My husband, there is no need for thanks between us?"

Yang Rong rolled her eyes at Xiao Jinyan, a playful smile playing on her lips. She then stepped forward, naturally taking his arm and resting her head on his shoulder. "I'm your woman. I'm not happy if you thank me."

Overwhelmed with indescribable emotion, Xiao Jinyan embraced Yang Rong tightly around the waist. "With my wife by my side, what worries do I have about achieving my great ambitions?"
