Chapter 62 - Mo Qian, you really dont like men? (2/2)

'Treat you like my mother? You are not 1% of my real mother.' Yoori misses her mother. She couldn't even say goodbye before she left. There's no way to communicate with her mother. Her niece told her that the timekeepers are lying in wait for her to trap her in her correct time. Then, can she never see her mother ever again?

The empress indirectly asks her about the wedding night. Yoori blushes like a new bride and says nothing. That's enough to remove any suspicion. The empress looks at the cup of tea in Yoori's hands. The girl is careless.

When Yoori comes back, Wu Yixing comes to see her at her room. ”How did it go?”

”She asked me to visit her anytime.” Yoori feels tired after meeting the empress. It's harder to pretend to be a fool than pretending to be a man. ”Did she poison me already?”

Wu Yixing checks her pulse. ”Usual poison to take away the ability to have a child.”

”What the -” Wu Yixing has already given her the antidote in the morning. The poison won't have any effect. But, still... It's only been a day since she married him and she is already poisoned by her stepmother in law. ”Say, I won't lose my ability to have a child, right?”

”That medicine shouldn't affect men.” Wu Yixing squints at her. ”Why are you afraid?”

She's a woman. Someday, she wants to get married and have children. ”You told me that the antidote will take care of any poison from the palace.”

He touches her belly. ”Men don't have wȯmbs. That's why I chose you for this role.”

She gawks at him. ”If I was a woman, would I lose the ability to have children it even after drinking the antidote?”

Wu Yixing feels happy to see her worried. How long will she keep pretending?

”Have faith in me. My antidote can take care of the minor poisons like that.” He ȧssures her. ”Even if you were a woman, it wouldn't affect you. Don't doubt my knowledge when it comes to poisons.”

She stares at him. ”When did you start learning about poisons?”

He pinches her cheeks. ”Don't ask too many questions, Mo Qian. I won't let you go if you know too much.”

She slaps his hands. ”Who wants to know more about you? Your skills in poisons should be good as you say.”

”Tsk!” He leans closer. ”It's a pity that you are a man. If you were a woman, I would have filled that wȯmb with a child to prove that my antidotes are better than my poisons.”

How dangerous! She is glad that she is pretending to be a man.

She gets up abruptly. ”I believe you. Don't say more.”
