Xiao Yan didn’t directly answer Dong Yan’s question. Instead, he mercilessly shot a sharp glare at Dong Yan’s face.

Dong Yan was so frightened that he immediately became obedient. Even if he had other questions, he didn’t dare to ask again and quickly followed Su Qian’s instructions.

An hour later, Su Qian packed up and left a few elixirs for Xiao Yan to recuperate before striding out of the Ninth Prince’s Residence.

As soon as Su Qian left, Mo Chen was called to the study by Xiao Yan.

Mo Chen heard about the entire incident on the way. He entered the study with a bitter smile and looked at Xiao Yan pitifully as he said, “Your Highness, you can’t blame me for this.”

“Are you implying that it’s my fault?” Xiao Yan raised his hand and silently rubbed the bandage on his wrist. The aura around him was as cold as ice as he asked.

Mo Chen was so frightened by these words that cold sweat trickled down his back. “No, it’s not… Your Highness, 1 was wrong. 1 didn’t expect Miss Su to be so capable and be able to cure the poison so quickly.”

When Xiao Yan heard this, the expression on his face improved a little. “Qianqian is naturally capable. However, now that the poison was cured, you would have to develop a new poison.”

Mo Chen almost fainted when he heard this. He wasn’t skilled in concocting toxins. In terms of refining elixir, he could beat Su Qian, but when it came to playing with poison, he knew very well that he was no match for her.

“Your Highness, 1 actually feel that there is no need to refine a new toxicant. You can continue to take the poison in your hand and pretend that the poison will relapse. This way, Miss Su Qian will definitely find it strange. It’s better than switching to a different toxicant and arousing her suspicions.” Mo Chen’s eyes turned and he said hurriedly.

Xiao Yan glanced at Mo Chen. “You’re really going to such extremes just to be lazy.”

Mo Chen chuckled and did not deny it. “So, does that mean Your Highness has agreed?”

Xiao Yan nodded.

Only then did Mo Chen heave a sigh of relief. Then, he quickly took out a high-quality ointment that could promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. “Your Highness, your wrist is injured. As long as you apply this ointment, 1 guarantee that you will recover the next day.”

“How do I use it?” Xiao Yan looked at the elixir and asked indifferently.

“It’s very easy. You just need to remove the bandage and apply it evenly on your wrist.” As Mo Chen spoke, he was about to go forward to serve him.

However, what Mo Chen did not expect was that he did not manage to flatter him. Instead, he resulted in a slap on the horse’s hooves, receiving a sharp glare from Xiao Yan.

“You want to remove the bandage Qianqian wrapped for me?” Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and questioned.

Mo Chen was shocked and shook his head frantically. “No, no, no. 1 don’t dare. 1 don’t dare.”

Seeing Xiao Yan happily touch the bandage Su Qian had wrapped for him, the corners of Mo Chen’s mouth twitched as he silently left the study.

Outside the study, Dong Yan was waiting. When Mo Chen came out, he quickly approached and lowered his voice, “Is everything alright?”

“I’m smart and intelligent. What’s there to be afraid of?” Mo Chen coquettishly played with the stray hair by his ear and continued in a low voice, “However, 1 tried to apply ointment for His Highness just now, but who knew that His Highness would treasure the bandage that Miss Su wrapped for him so much that he wouldn’t let me touch it! I’m really puzzled. When has Your Highness ever been like this?”

“This is the power of love. You wouldn’t understand.” After giving Mo Chen a meaningful look, Dong Yan hurried into the study to serve tea.

The pitiful Mo Chen was struck hard by Dong Yan’s words, but he had nowhere to vent his frustration. In the end, he could only swing his hand angrily and turn around to leave..
