Chapter 1272: A Bowl of Tonic
Chapter 1272: A Bowl of Tonic
The place where their skin touched was scorching hot. Shang Xi realized that something was wrong with Cheng Feng. This was not a joke. There was something wrong with his body and his breathing was extremely heavy. She asked Cheng Feng, "Why is your body so hot? Do you have a fever?"
Shang Xi was using the process of elimination. Cheng Feng had only been sick a few times in all these years, and the number of colds and fevers he had was so few that they could be counted on one hand.
Cheng Feng is an experienced person, how could he not know what his body was doing? He obviously took the wrong medicine. He gasped and said angrily: "Why do I have a fever? I was obviously fooled by my uncle!"
"What does your behavior have to do with my uncle? I don't understand!"
"My uncle is so mean. The old housekeeper sent someone to bring him a bowl of tonic medicine, and he forced me to drink it. I thought about it for a long time before I realized that it was definitely not an ordinary tonic medicine. I guess it was a strong tonic medicine, maybe even a bowl of aphrodisiac!"
What you fear will come true. Shang Xi immediately felt that something bad had happened. It might as well be a fever. The consequences of taking the tonic would be disastrous. She discussed with Cheng Feng, "Do you remember that you drank the tonic your mother prepared for you last time? You are in the same condition now. Listen to me, this is a serious matter. I will go get a doctor for you!"
"If you don't feel ashamed, I would." Cheng Feng disagreed. He was the eldest son of Prince Pang's mansion and a member of the royal family. If the news got out that he was taking tonics or seeing a doctor, his image of justice and kindness would be destroyed in an instant. He refused to agree, and at this time he was so hot that he began to tear Shang Xi's clothes. He acted according to his instinct, otherwise he would be burned to death by the fire running up and down in his body.
Shang Xi felt a huge pressure when she heard this. She complained, "My uncle is the king of a country now, why is he still the same as before? He doesn't do any good things and only knows how to cheat us!"
Cheng Feng said impatiently: "Don't talk about him for now, I'll go and settle the score with my uncle tomorrow!"
Cheng Feng was a man who always kept his word. Even after a night had passed, he had not forgotten what he had said the night before. When he opened his eyes, the sun was high in the sky and the sun was shining brightly.
Cheng Feng sat up from the bed. He reached out and grabbed the clothes and put them on. Shang Xi looked sleep deprived. "Cheng Feng, why are you so angry when you're putting on clothes?"
Cheng Feng said: "I want to go find my uncle!"
Shang Xi really admired Cheng Feng's courage, "You still dare to go, if you go, he will give you a bowl of tonic, think about it, the old man, the old housekeeper, can only prepare this bowl of tonic! The reason why he gave you this medicine is that he is also afraid of this tonic!"
"No, I have to go and argue with my uncle. He is afraid of this tonic and cannot give it to me. I am strong and healthy, how can I withstand such a tonic? Wife, I must have bled from my nose last night!" Cheng Feng felt aggrieved when he thought of his nosebleed last night. His physique was as strong as an ox and he must not take any tonic.
Shang Xi warned Cheng Feng, "Cheng Feng, don't blame me for not reminding you, you can't beat your uncle. If you drink another bowl of tonic tonight, I will run away from home with Cheng Youning and I will never come back!" Shang Xi said with a sullen face and raised his hand to pound his lower back.
Seeing this, Cheng Feng hurriedly helped Shang Xi rub his back, but he was not convinced: "Then I will suffer this loss in silence!"
Shang Xi opened her eyes wide and rolled her eyes at Cheng Feng, saying unhappily, "It's me, Shang Xi, who got hurt in silence. It was me, Shang Xi, who suffered last night! You, Cheng Feng, just had a little nosebleed, right?"
Cheng Feng couldn't help laughing with his mouth curled up, "Wife, what you said is wrong, your husband was not just bleeding last night, I was working hard and sweating!"
"Get out! Get as far away as you can!"
"Under my command, I will go to the palace to find my uncle right now!"
“You’re really going!”
"Do you think I'm joking?"
Shang Xi looked at Cheng Feng's eyes that were eager for revenge, and it was as if Cheng Youning was possessed. The reason why Cheng Youning was now so unruly, reckless and lawless was that he took after Cheng Feng. Shang Xi finally found a way out.
Shang Xi saw that she couldn't stop Cheng Feng, so she simply didn't stop him. However, she had to warn Cheng Feng: "It's okay for you to enter the palace, but don't go to find your uncle. Tell the old housekeeper that you drank the tonic on behalf of your uncle last night, and then you don't have to do anything, just wait for your uncle to be scolded!"
Cheng Feng's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this. He gave a thumbs up and said, "Wife, you are really smart. Why didn't I think of this? Or your trick is really ruthless. Without further ado, I will go to the palace to find the old housekeeper!"
Cheng Feng was a man of swift and decisive actions. He rushed to the palace without even having dinner at home.
The old housekeeper was in a good mood recently and was enjoying the flowers. Cheng Feng walked over and said with a smile, "Old housekeeper, you are in a good mood, enjoying the flowers!"
When the old housekeeper saw that it was Cheng Feng, he quickly bowed to Cheng Feng and said, "Sir, come and play chess with the emperor!"
Cheng Feng smiled and nodded: "I made an appointment with my uncle yesterday. I just asked around and heard that my uncle was reviewing memorials at this moment, so I didn't bother him and came to this garden alone."
After saying that, Cheng Feng casually picked a flower and sniffed it. The old butler was an old fox. Seeing Cheng Feng's uncharacteristic behavior, he immediately smelled something and asked, "Prince, you are in a good mood today!"
Cheng Feng pretended to raise his arms and stretched, "Because I'm in a good mood today!"
"Your Highness, you came here to look for me, is there something you want to tell me?"
Cheng Feng touched his face in a fake manner and said, "Am I a fake? Is it so obvious? Old housekeeper, can you see it?"
The old butler smiled and nodded, "It's not hard to guess. The prince usually doesn't go to the back garden of the palace to appreciate the flowers alone. Prince, tell me, is it appropriate for you to come to this old servant?"
Cheng Feng's eyes flickered, and he turned his head and looked left and right. After he had performed his tricks, he leaned close to the old housekeeper and whispered, "Old housekeeper, do you still have the prescription for the bowl of medicine that you sent a servant to deliver to my uncle last night when I was playing chess with him?"
Butler La was immediately alarmed when he heard this: "Why is the prince asking this?"
Cheng Feng whispered, "Can you give me a copy of that prescription?"
"What does your son want this for? You won't be able to use it, will you?" The old butler spoke as he looked up and down at Cheng Feng's muscular body.
Cheng Feng gave a wicked smile, and then said: "Old housekeeper, you are wrong. The medicine that night made me experience an unprecedented excitement!" After saying that, Cheng Feng couldn't help rubbing his sour nose!
