Chapter 57 - Unfortunate prince? (2/2)

”...” I glance at Wu Yixing and Li Jun. Both of them are looking at me expectantly. I can't get out of this without drinking it. I pinch my nose and pour the liquid in my throat. I don't know about strengthening the mind. I am sure that I have lost my sense of taste.

”Try to speak.” Li Jun smirks at me. ”Xiao Wei.”

I purse my lips tighter. I won't give in.

”The medicine didn't work.” Aunt Yoori looks at Wu Yixing. ”My brother will be fine like this. Thank you for thinking about him.”

Wu Yixing looks for something in his sleeves. It's a bottle of another green vial. ”I have stronger medicine for the mind. I am sure that this will work.”

Another one. This snake won't stop until I speak. I recall my aunt's warnings when she was General Yu. I put my palm up. ”I can speak now. I don't need any more medicine.”

”My brother can speak.” Aunt Yoori pretends to be surprised and happy. ”Lord, you are like a god in my life.”

Li Jun chuckles. ”Wu Yixing, your medicines worked finally.”

My aunt still doesn't get it. ”Lord, you have the same name as the unfortunate prince.”

”Unfortunate prince?” Wu Yixing asks her with an innocent smile.

”The fifth prince. Everyone calls him the unfortunate prince because the women engaged to him keep dying. All the fathers of this empire are afraid of giving their daughters to him.” She leans closer to him. ”He is 24, but he has no wife or concubine. He spends his days either drunk or with women entertainers. His life is a waste. I heard that he is the most handsome among all the princes. Just having looks are not enough. His highest talent is seducing women with his looks.”

”Elder brother!”

”What?” She looks at me, puzzled. ”Xiao Wei, you should stay clear of men like him. I heard that he also likes pretty young boys like you.”

I rub my forehead. Forget timekeepers. Did my aunt lose her intelligence because I turned back time? How could she not take any hint?

”You are a good brother.” Wu Yixing laughs. ”Don't worry. The misfortunate prince is not interested in young pretty boys like Xiao Wei. Mo Qian, he likes eating men like you who know martial arts and speak their minds without hesitation.”

My aunt looks visibly grossed out. ”Lord, I will take that as a warning. I will make sure that he never sees me.”

We are doomed.
