C17 (2/2)

The ministers praised her alcohol tolerance, but only Mu Yizi knew that she felt dizzy the moment she sat down.

No, there was something wrong with the wine!

Generally speaking, no matter how strong the wine was, how could Mu Yizi, who was considered to have grown big in the wine vat, feel dizzy after drinking two cups?

A hand instinctively grabbed hold of Shen Bai's wrist under the table. His gaze shifted to the main seat, where a censer that had appeared out of nowhere was smoking.

Shen Bai noticed that something was wrong and asked softly, ”Are you alright?”

”There's something wrong with the alcohol!” Ye Zichen grabbed Shen Bai even more forcefully, as if that would help him wake up a little.

Without thinking too much into it, Shen Bai grabbed her hand and held it in his other hand before placing himself on top of her. In the eyes of outsiders, he was the one pulling her by the hand and acting coquettishly. In reality, he was supporting Mu Yizi's body so that no one could see through her weakness. He used his wide sleeves to block her hand and pressed hard on her ”He Gu” acupoint.

”What are you doing?” Mu Yizi could feel her hand being held by him, and the pain that came from his hand made her feel much more clear-headed.

”Don't say anything, I'll help you press the pressure point. This will help your blood circulation within your body, and will make you feel better. ” Shen Bai was still leaning on her chest, slightly tilting his head to the side, feeling the softness undulating up and down.

”Hold your breath.” Seeing that someone was walking towards them, Shen Bai softly muttered those words before withdrawing from her embrace.

A chunky middle-aged man held a cup of wine and said to her: ”General Mu, I am Shi Hengxiang. I have heard a lot about you. I would like to toast you!”

Before Mu Yiran could reply, Shen Bai stood up.

”You can drink here. I'm leaving!” After he finished speaking, Shen Bai ran out like a grumpy little wife.

Mu Yizi reacted extremely quickly, and said apologetically to Lord Shi: ”I'm sorry, but our brother here doesn't like this kind of occasion! If he were to run out like this, something might happen to him. Please send a message to the Prime Minister for me, I will definitely pay him a visit and apologize! ”

After saying that, Mu Yizi quickly chased after Shen Bai, ignoring Lord Shi Hengxiang's call.

When they finally left the Prime Minister's mansion, the two let out sighs of relief. Mu Yizi was about to place a hand on Shen Bai's shoulder to praise him for his intelligence, but he was actually able to knock his hand down.

”Next time, don't make yourself look like this again! Don't call me to come with you!”

Mu Yizi stared blankly, feeling that she was somehow innocent. How did she know there was something wrong with the wine? Besides, who would not drink at a banquet?

As if he knew what she was thinking in her heart, Shen Bai quickly added, ”Because you and I are both treated like …” ”Yes …”

Mu Yizi finally understood what he meant. Just now, when he leaned on her shoulder, she couldn't help but think that he was the same as those servants in the brothel.

”What is it?” As if she was teasing him on purpose, Mu Yizi pretended that she didn't understand.
