Taming Tyrants I

Arc 3: Prince Daddy (78)

"Third Prince." before Ying Huai can think more, the head eunuch of the palace arrived. Even a prince as high ranking as them has to greet the head eunuch. "Third Prince, His Majesty is looking for you in the court. Regarding the border between Zhao and Qin. Please proceed to Yi Huang Hall." Ying Huai hummed in response. He bid farewell and headed to the court. The head eunuch waved his hand as a pageboy went forward, holding a satchel. "Princess, Empress Xin heard of your injury and thus, requested for this servant to bring a satchel of sweetened fruit from the South."

"Oh. Many thanks." Hong Cha accepted it in reluctance. It came from the empress so she cant simply eat it. The eunuch left and Hong Cha then opened the satchel. "System Wu, is there anything wrong with the candied fruits?"

[Scanning]

[Beep! Nothing wrong Host.]

"Prince Dao, do you want this?" she offered some for Ying Wendao. The young boy have a sweet tooth so he accepted her offer. Hong Cha turned to Ying Wenxiang. "What about Crown Prince?"

"No need." he shook his head in response. Hong Cha smiled and brought the treat to her lips. Ying Wenxiang wanted to look away but cant. The way her pearly white teeth bit its surface and how her seductive red lips parted is quite enticing. His cheeks blushed upon realizing he was thinking of a different scenario with her. Oh, what had happened to him? This is so shameful! Ying Wenxiang closed his eyes and started reciting old poems in his thought.

"Eh?" just then, Hong Cha felt her temperature rising. She glanced at Ying Wendao but he isn't bothered and seems fine. Hong Cha pressed her legs closer upon feeling herself getting uncomfortable. What just happened? "S-System Wu..."

[Host?]

"What is happening? I feel a-aroused but Prince Dao is fine." Hong Cha stood up abruptly to leave. "Uhm, Crown Prince, Prince Dao, please excuse me. I don't feel well."

"Aw... Have a good rest Princess Mom. Father, help Princess Mom. She broke her foot. Aren't you worried for her?" Ying Wendao cheekily smiled. Hong Cha is about to disagree when Ying Wenxiang nodded in helplessness. He thought she had this planned and wanted to molest him again. So, he, as the victim, should comply since even his son was selling him out!

"W-wait..." Hong Cha was alarmed but Ying Wenxiang swiftly carried her. She bit her nails in nervousness. Her discomfort increased. Either her luck ran out, her scent started emitting from her body. Ying Wenxiang paused just as they entered the house. Hong Cha lowered her head with her cheeks red. "Y-Ying Wenxiang, I don't, I don't feel good. Can you look for a doctor? Just, just leave me here. I can wait here."

"Are you alright?" he sounded worried for a bit. Ying Wenxiang placed her on a cushion chair and noticed her shivering slightly. Hong Cha bit her lip before curling herself to suppress her desire. Ying Wenxiang wanted to feel her temperature by touching her forehead when she evaded him frantically.

"No! Just- just look for a doctor. A female physician is even better." she doesn't like where this is going. Ying Wenxiang pursed his lips and forced himself to leave. Hong Cha was relieved for a bit. She heard Ying Wendao shouting his farewell and left with Ying Wenxiang.

[Uhm, Host, I think its time to use this opportunity and have a good time with the male lead? He's still on the way towards Yi Huang Hall. I can transport Host there.]

"System Wu! What happened to me!? Will Prince Dao get harmed? Remove the toxins in me, including Prince Dao." she felt like she will faint anytime soon but she persevered. If her consciousness gets weak, Mi Cha will take over her body.

[Host, the aphrodisiac in the treats will only affect a female body. We can use this as a reason to claim the male lead completely.]

"T-transfer me to where he is." Hong Cha can only resolve it like this. She arrived in a blink in front of a tall gate and heard the king's voice inside. Her legs almost wavered from her discomfort. She panted heavily and knew Ying Huai is there. What should she do? "System, is there no other way? Bring me to a doctor then. Female ones."

[Sorry Host but I have limited range of transport. Why not the second male lead? If Host can have him, he is good enough to take the throne and help Host to break the plot's main keys. Im sorry Host that I miscalculated...]

"Where... Where is he?" after asking, she arrived in front of a courtyard nearby Guan Palace's gate. Hong Cha recalled this was the courtyard that is inhabitated and servants rarely tend this area. While thinking, she finally saw Ying Wenxiang but there is no one with him.

"Princess, the imperial physicians are gathered in the Empress's palace. Her servants were poisoned and no female physicians are nearby. Are you fine now? How did you get here?" Ying Wenxiang quickly approached her. Hong Cha almost fainted but Ying Wenxiang caught her. Her mouth dried and her gaze became ambiguous. Ying Wenxiang frowned. "Princess?"

"Ying Wenxiang, I think, Empress Xin did this on purpose." she barely said. "I don't feel well. Help me, please..."

"Help?" he wanted to ask more when she dragged him to the courtyard. Ying Wenxiang was pushed to the wall as a robust peach tree hid their figure. Hong Cha initiated a kiss to keep him distracted while her hands lowered to his waistband. He was caught off guard and hurriedly stopped her. Ying Wenxiang changed their position to suppress Hong Cha. "Your Highness, this is inappropriate-"

"Ying Wenxiang..." she mentioned his name with her tears streaming down. Hong Cha felt the unbearable pain from her stomach. It was painful and she knew the empress gave her a unique aphrodisiac. Something that could corner Hong Cha to do what she doesn't want to. "Ying Wenxiang, I will no longer disturb you after this. Just this time, Ying Wenxiang."
