Ye Yiheng reached out and caught her, “Ling Lang, quickly, how is she doing?”
His voice held an urgency that even he himself had not noticed.
Ling Lang snapped back from Leng Yu Yan’s acupuncture technique, bowed, and took her pulse.
“Your Highness, the Commandery Princess has survived the second wave, there’s only the hardest wave left.” Ling Lang pondered and then added, “The water in the pool is now warm, soaking in it any longer is of no use. Shall we move her to the bed?”
The last wave, in today’s world, no one could endure it.
If the Crown Prince really wanted to offer himself to detoxify the Commandery Princess, then it would indeed be more comfortable on the bed.
Sensing the unspoken suggestion in Ling Lang’s words, Ye Yiheng’s face darkened.
Just as the Crown Prince was about to say something, Leng Yu Yan suddenly spoke up, “Fetch some ice from the ice cellar and put it into the pool!”
Ye Yiheng and Ling Lang exchanged a glance, just as they thought they had misheard, Leng Yu Yan spoke again, “Your Highness, please be assured, I will not do anything to you?”
Only then did the two realize that Leng Yu Yan was lucid at the moment.
They immediately ordered the ice to be fetched.

In no time, Song Guo led people to bring over a considerable amount of ice, one piece after another was placed into the bath.
The water in the pool instantly became cold.
Leng Yu Yan stepped out of Ye Yiheng’s embrace and removed the needle, “The water is too cold, please step out of the bath, Your Highness!”
Ye Yiheng whispered, “No matter, I am already cold.”
Seeing that he wouldn’t leave, she didn’t insist any further on pushing him away.
The interval between this wave and the previous one was shorter, just one cup of tea’s time later, the Extreme Joy Powder acted up for the third time inside Leng Yu Yan.
She bit down hard on her lip, hoping to use the pain to alleviate the discomfort in her body.
Soon, a thick drop of blood oozed from her tender lips, and a layer of beautiful blush emerged on her cheeks, enchantingly rosy, invisibly seductive.
At that moment, her eyes were captivating, her silhouette graceful, her beauty was stunning and peerless, and her fragrant, smooth skin exuded an enticing rosy aura.
It seemed, this third wave truly was the hardest to endure; Ye Yiheng’s eyes narrowed, his handsome brows furrowed, and in a cold voice, he ordered everyone around the bath, “Get out!”
Seeing the increasingly intense coldness in the Crown Prince’s eyes, the crowd acknowledged the command.
A group of people left the bathhouse, leaving only the man and woman in the pool.
Leng Yu Yan looked up, “Your Highness, do you have a Dagger?”
Though the effects of the Extreme Joy Powder made her expression bewitchingly charming, her eyes were clear and bright, causing Ye Yiheng’s heart to clench.
How much tenacity and willpower did it take to achieve this?
“There’s a Dagger, but you must tell me what you plan to do with it?”
Blood trickled down from her lips, Leng Yu Yan closed her eyes, “Rest assured, Your Highness, I will not do anything foolish.”
The heat from her body had already melted much of the ice in the bath, if she did not take action soon, she feared she wouldn’t make it.
Ye Yiheng hurriedly commanded Song Guo to bring the Dagger.
Hearing that a Dagger was needed, Ling Lang, not feeling assured, followed Song Guo into the bathhouse.
“Commandery Princess, what do you need the Dagger for?” Song Guo reportedly offered the Dagger with unease.
Upon receiving the Dagger, Leng Yu Yan did not answer Song Guo but walked towards the middle of the bath by herself.
Taking a deep breath, and before the person beside her could react, she suddenly plunged the Dagger into her heart and then pulled it out.
Fresh blood gushed forth…
The bath was instantly stained red with blood!
Ye Yiheng roared, “No!”
Rushing through the water, he held her tightly in his arms, one hand frantically pressing down on the wound that continued to bleed profusely.
Blood kept seeping from between his fingers.
His pale skin, contrasted with the flamboyant and enchanting red, was so distinct it seemed as though his own heart was also missing a piece.
Why is this woman so foolish?
After ingesting Extreme Joy Powder, why seek death?
“Leng Yu Yan, without my permission, you are not allowed to leave!” In an instant, the corners of his eyes turned bloody red as he roared like a beast, “You’re not allowed!”
He immediately embraced her, rising from the water.
Song Guo, shocked, fell flat on her behind on the ground. The Commandery Princess had used the dagger he handed her to attempt suicide!
Had he known it would come to this, he would have never dared to pass her the dagger.
“Commandery Princess, I’ve wronged you! Had I known you would stab yourself, I would have never dared hand over the knife!”
Song Guo was crying with her nose running and tears streaming, watching the Crown Prince carry the Commandery Princess into the room, stumbling as he followed.
Ye Yiheng was covered in a cold and forbidding aura, the sinister cruelty in his eyes gradually solidified, turning into a deep and ruthless darkness in an instant.
Like a wild beast that devours everything!
Those who harmed her wouldn’t escape!
Ling Lang, who was still standing by the bath, suddenly came to his senses and hurried out of the bathhouse.
He didn’t even bother to cover Leng Yu Yan’s wrist with a handkerchief and started to take her pulse directly.
After discerning the pulse, he burst into laughter.
Today, he had seen something new.
There was actually a method to counteract Extreme Joy Powder!
The method of Princess Beilan was extremely ruthless, where the slightest mistake could be fatal.
Thus, no one dared to use it!
Ye Yiheng’s icy gaze was fixed on Ling Lang, who was laughing uncontrollably, “Do you want to join the Commandery Princess in death?”
Before he could fear what the Crown Prince implied, Ling Lang waved his hand and said, “Congratulations, Your Highness, the Commandery Princess has shaken off the poison of Extreme Joy Powder.”
Ye Yiheng’s eyes were full of frost, “To join her in death, Ling Lang, you are not worthy!”
His voice was like a cold wind blowing from the top of an iceberg, devoid of any warmth, utterly suffocating.
If she had died, the poison would naturally have been considered resolved.
But he did not allow her to die!
“No, Your Highness, you’ve misunderstood! The Commandery Princess is alive, alive!” Ling Lang jumped up, saying excitedly, “Look, Your Highness, isn’t the Commandery Princess’s wound no longer bleeding?”
Ye Yiheng then lowered his gaze to the girl in his arms, indeed, the wound on her chest was no longer bleeding.
Ling Lang continued, “The Commandery Princess did not stab her heart, she simply released the toxin.”
Ye Yiheng realized that her actions just now were indeed different from those who attempted suicide by stabbing the heart. He quickly walked to the bed and gently laid her down on it.
Ling Lang knelt by the bed and took her pulse again, muttering, “How was the Commandery Princess able to release the deadly toxins without stabbing her heart?”
Hearing these words, Song Guo wept with joy.
Ye Yiheng, not wanting to disturb Leng Yu Yan who was unconscious, asked in a low voice, “What needs to be done now?”
“Most of the aphrodisiac in the Commandery Princess’s body has been expelled. Just summon a palace maid to dress the wounds,” Ling Lang added, “However, since there is still residual poison inside her body, it will still flare up in the future.”
“It will flare up again?” Song Guo exclaimed, wiping her tears and asking again, “Didn’t you say it would occur once every half month for three consecutive months? With the subsequent five times, does that mean the Commandery Princess has to stab her chest each time? Wouldn’t that turn her into a sieve?”
Ling Lang stood up from beside the bed, “Stay calm, the remaining five times will flare up but won’t be fatal, there’s no need to stab her chest again.”
Song Guo looked at her Crown Prince but hesitated to speak.
Ling Lang, ever so clever, saw the concern between the Crown Prince and Song Guo, and immediately said, “If she can’t endure the next five times, it won’t be life-threatening. At worst, Your Highness, you can just knock the Commandery Princess unconscious with a slap, and when she wakes up, it’ll count as having endured another episode.”
Song Guo nodded repeatedly. Given the Crown Prince’s explosive temper, he probably would indeed knock a person out.
Anyway, the Commandery Princess wouldn’t die from Extreme Joy Powder. It was easier to deal with by knocking her out.
For his unworkable Highness, it really was a method, though it was harsh on the Commandery Princess.
Ye Yiheng had no clue what Song Guo was thinking; he only looked at Ling Lang, “The problem is she will fall into an illusion…”
What if there is another man by her side when that happens?
