Chapter 374: As Long As You
Chapter 374: As Long As You
Lu Yuan was caught off guard by her sudden pounce, but what truly shocked him was the audacious words that escaped her lips.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but suspect that she had taken the wrong medicine.
Instinctively, Lu Yuan sat up, but Meng Qianqian held his hands down, pressing them firmly against his head.
This was a reversal of the Heavenly Pole's position...
Lu Yuan was speechless.
Her palms were scorching, squeezing his icy wrist bones, searing his skin.
Although she was only lightly pressing down on him without exerting much force, their bodies were unavoidably in close contact due to the intimate position.
Her breath was as fragrant as orchids, soft as clouds, gently caressing his cold, stern eyebrows.
For a moment, Lu Yuan couldn't tell which was hotter.
He looked at her overly flushed cheeks, composed himself, and asked, "Meng Xiaojiu, are you feeling unwell?"
Meng Qianqian shook her head. "I'm not sick."
Lu Yuan spoke sternly, "Let go of my hand."
Meng Qianqian shook her head again, "I won't let go."
Lu Yuan became increasingly certain that something was amiss with her today. Not only was her body scorching, but her breathing was rapid, and even her tone of voice and gaze had changed.
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, "Meng Xiaojiu, do you know what you're doing?"
Meng Qianqian replied softly, "I know. I'm overstepping my boundaries. Tomorrow, Xiaojiu will go to the Duke's Mansion to beg for forgiveness with a rod on her back."
"Who's asking you to beg for forgiveness..."
Lu Yuan had only spoken half of his sentence when he felt a tingling sensation on his neck as she buried her head into his neck.
"Duke, you smell so good."
This wasn't the first time she had praised him like this, but this time, it was clear that she meant it possessively.
Lu Yuan clenched his fingers, "Meng Xiaojiu!"
Meng Qianqian kissed his cheek, "Yes?"
Lu Yuan took advantage of her momentary distraction and pushed her away, standing up, "We'll talk when you're sober!"
Just as he was about to leave, Meng Qianqian suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled him back.
Lu Yuan truly hadn't expected her to be so strong, nearly dragging him back onto the bed.
He wrapped his arm around her, freeing his arm, "Meng Xiaojiu, snap out of it!"
What on earth had this young lady eaten at the Princess's Mansion?
Could it be that someone had drugged her?
She was a doctor herself, who could possibly make her fall for such a trick?
A name emerged in his mind: Wanping Princess.
She used to cling to him, but now she's not, and instead, she's causing trouble for Meng Xiaojiu.
What kind of twisted fate did the Princess's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion share?
Lu Yuan pressed Meng Qianqian's acupoint, suppressing the urge she had easily provoked, and said calmly, "The doctor will be here soon."
After saying this, he turned around, unbolted the door, and opened it.
"Wan Mumu."
He spoke.
Wan Mumu hurried forward, "Groom, what are your instructions?"
Lu Yuan spoke sternly, "Go find Manager Cen and ask him to go to the Princess's Mansion to bring my mother back to the mansion as soon as possible."
In a situation like this, perhaps only her mother could provide some of the Dowager Empress's miraculous medicine.
"Yes."
Wan Mumu didn't understand why she was being asked to bring the lady back to the mansion, but as servants, they simply followed their master's instructions.
However, looking at the heavy snowfall in the courtyard, she hesitantly suggested, "With such heavy snow, are you sure you want the lady to return to the mansion immediately? Should we wait for the snow to stop?"
"No need."
Before Lu Yuan could finish his sentence, the door behind him opened with a bang, and a pale hand reached out, grabbing him by the back of his neck and pulling him inside without any courtesy.
"Groom..."
Bang! The door closed in front of Wan Mumu.
Wan Mumu was startled, covering her nose that almost got hit, and muttered, "No need for what?"
"Shouldn't we wait for the snow to stop, or let the Lady return to the mansion?"
A clatter sounded from inside the room, as if the porcelain on the table had fallen to the ground.
"These youngsters sure know how to have fun."
Wan Mumu hurriedly left.
The young couple's affair was not something they could get involved in! Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan were having a showdown inside the room.
Lu Yuan never imagined in his dreams that she could unblock his acupoints; the medicine's effects were indeed potent.
He couldn't afford to cause trouble for Wanping Princess, so he directed his anger towards Ji Li.
Meng Qianqian was not in her best fighting condition, and Lu Yuan saw through her weakness, capturing her with a single move.
Who would have thought that Meng Qianqian didn't want to compete in martial arts with him? She casually poisoned him.
"Meng Xiaojiu!"
Meng Qianqian untied her hair ribbon and bound his hands to the head of the bed.
Lu Yuan was shocked.
Did this girl have some strange fetish? Meng Qianqian remembered seeing a similar scene in the painting of Spring Wind in the library.
And there was also a whip.
Oh, and candles.
Meng Qianqian went to fetch all of them.
Lu Yuan: "..."
Meng Qianqian leaned over him and untied his clothes with her delicate hands.
Lu Yuan looked at her deeply, "Meng Xiaojiu, you've been drugged. You need to stay clear-headed."
"Mhm."
Meng Qianqian nodded in response.
His heavy purple robe slid down to his waist, revealing his tall and slim figure, broad shoulders, narrow waist, defined muscles, and a body that exuded masculine strength without exaggeration.
"Meng Xiaojiu, if it were Lu Lingxiao or Chu Nan standing before you today, would you do the same to them? Would you treat them as your antidote?"
Meng Qianqian's body and mind burned together, "No, Xiaojiu only wants to do this to the Grand Marshal."
As soon as she finished speaking, the hair ribbon binding Lu Yuan's wrists was torn apart.
Lu Yuan's large palm rested on her, and with a swift turn, he placed her on the soft bed.
Meng Qianqian was stunned, "You...you're not poisoned...how do you still have strength?"
Lu Yuan braced himself on either side of her, his gaze unwavering, "That poison is nothing to me. I'll ask you again, are you sure you only want to do this to me?"
Meng Qianqian nodded hesitantly.
Lu Yuan's voice was hoarse, "Then don't regret it."
He raised his hand and removed the hairpin from her head.
Her long black hair tumbled down like a waterfall.
She looked like a celestial spirit descended to the mortal realm, untouched by a speck of dust.
Lu Yuan's eyes darkened, and with a flick of his sleeve, the curtain fell.
Heavy snow flew in the air.
On the candle holder, the dragon and phoenix candle shed scarlet tears of wax.

Princess Mansion.
On the stage, the opera singer sang melodiously, while Liu Qingyun occupied the best seat, cracking sunflower seeds and enjoying the performance.
Bai Yuwei was bored to death, "Auntie, let's go back."
"We're not going back."
Liu Qingyun replied.
Bai Yuwei pouted, "You don't even like watching operas."
Liu Qingyun said with a lively expression, "I like it today."
Bai Yuwei asked in confusion, "Why are you so happy about Princess Wanping's wedding? It's not like it's your own son's wedding."
Liu Qingyun said, "You'll understand when you get married."
"Understand what?" Bai Yuwei asked.
Liu Qingyun spoke with profound meaning, "You'll know when you get married."
Bai Yuwei humphed, "I won't get married. I want to stay with my parents and grandfather forever."
Liu Qingyun cracked a seed, "Good."
Bai Yuwei frowned and leaned closer, "Auntie, did you take the wrong medicine today? You haven't beaten me in three days."
Liu Qingyun: "..."
Finally, finally, this part is a bit awkward.
