Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧?≦*)

Xiao Liulang stared at Gu Jiao intently. He had a knack for unraveling secrets without getting angry and asking questions.

Gu Jiao knew that unless she explained everything clearly, he wouldn't obediently go back to sleep.

Strange, could it be that he had also been pretending to sleep all along? Waiting to catch her in the act in the middle of the night?

"Fine." Gu Jiao finally decided to come clean.

After all, he was her husband, and she couldn't bear to knock him unconscious with a single blow.

"I want to test the medicine." Gu Jiao confessed.

Xiao Liulang's expression didn't show much surprise.

"You figured it out?" Gu Jiao blinked her eyes at him.

Xiao Liulang replied calmly, "I saw you when you secretly switched the medicine from His Majesty."

He truly had no idea where she learned this incredible skill of swapping the medicine without anyone noticing. Her movements were too fast, and if he hadn't been paying attention to her from the beginning, he wouldn't have discovered it at all.

Gu Jiao pursed her lips, "No wonder you’re able to discover me in the middle of the night."

"You want to use Little Eight to test the medicine?" Xiao Liulang asked, looking at the little dog in her arms.

Gu Jiao shook her head. "No, I was going to try it myself. I want to know the effect of the black and white medicine and why it can confuse people's minds."

The corner of Xiao Liulang's mouth twitched.

"So you brought Little Eight over for that?" He asked.

"Yeah." Gu Jiao nodded. "I don't know which one is the black medicine and which one is the white medicine, but if I use Little Eight as the subject, it doesn't matter much."

If she grew closer to Little Eight, it wouldn't be a problem. But if she genuinely started to feel disgusted at Little Eight, being Gu Yan's dog, she was sure she wouldn't do anything to harm Little Eight for Gu Yan's sake.

Xiao Liulang imagined the scene of her hugging and kissing Little Eight everywhere and instantly felt a wave of discomfort!

"No!" He flatly refused.

Gu Jiao thought for a moment, "Then... What about Little Nine?"

A gyrfalcon was also acceptable.

"I’ll try the medicine." Xiao Liulang insisted.

"No, no, you're not a physician." Gu Jiao firmly disagreed with him consuming the medicine. She had received training in handling drugs within the organization, while he lacked experience in this area. Both his physical and mental resilience might not hold up.

Both of them had stubborn personalities. While they usually treated each other with respect, when they clashed, neither would back down. One example was how Gu Jiao pushed him to undergo rehabilitation while Xiao Liulang pushed her to practice calligraphy.

In the end, Xiao Liulang took a step back first, "Alright, you try the medicine. But I have a condition."

Half an hour later, the two of them sat in the dimly lit east room.

In front of Gu Jiao were two identical pills. Since she didn't know which one was the black medicine and which one was the white medicine, she had to rely on luck.

"Think carefully. If I take the black medicine, I might end up hating you." Gu Jiao threatened.

"It’s alright." Xiao Liulang nodded and gently held her hand under the table.

Gu Jiao randomly picked one pill and swallowed it.

The pill didn't taste like anything, but it had a hint of licorice fragrance.

Xiao Liulang stared at her unwaveringly, not missing any subtle changes in her eyes.

It would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous at all. In case she really took the black medicine, he would take the other white pill.

Gu Jiao's body was more resilient than the Emperor's, and it took a good quarter of an hour for the effects of the medicine to gradually take hold.

She didn't know which type of medicine she had taken, but she felt very sleepy. Before falling asleep, she looked at the handsome face so close to her and suddenly gripped his hand tightly.

She held on tightly, as if she was afraid of losing him.

Xiao Liulang's throat moved uneasily.

Soon after, Gu Jiao fell asleep with her head resting on the table.

She had a long dream, filled with the places she wanted to go and the things she liked. The person she had seen before falling asleep was also present in her dream.

She entered the dream state while still conscious, a skill she had trained in during her previous life in the organization.

She had been injected with numerous hallucinogens and was required to remain awake throughout the process.

Of course, she couldn't resist such a strong drug at first, but she would always become more cautious after each physical and mental torment.

She understood what kind of drug it was; indeed, it was a drug with ingredients similar to mandrake. Its effects were similar to the hallucinogens she had been injected with in her previous life. Some hallucinogens made people feel wonderful, while others subjected them to torment and fear.

During the drug's effect, the face she saw last would continuously flash in her dreams. People who hadn't undergone special training wouldn't remember their dreams upon waking up, but the feelings from the dream would linger in their subconscious.

Once she encountered the face from her dream again upon waking up, it would evoke those subconscious feelings.

Gu Jiao was capable of completely detaching herself from those feelings, but ordinary people couldn't, which was why the drug's effects occurred.

Gu Jiao strongly suspected that the two types of drugs weren't simply called "black medicine" and "white medicine." They should have more specific names, but Lady Nan seemed hesitant to reveal them.

When Gu Jiao woke up, she found herself leaning against Xiao Liulang's embrace.

She wasn't sure if she had leaned into him or if Xiao Liulang had pulled her over. Hmm, it was quite comfortable.

"Awake?" Xiao Liulang spoke with a hoarse voice.

His back was drenched in cold sweat. Despite his carefree appearance, nobody knew the agony he had just experienced.

"I took the black medicine." Gu Jiao said coldly. "I had a nightmare, and from now on, every time I see you, I will remember that nightmare. So, I'm afraid I'll start to dislike you."

"Oh." Xiao Liulang calmly responded. "Then first, take your hand out of my clothes."

Someone paused their hand that was touching his chest muscles, "..."

Ying~

This drug was effective on ordinary people, but it had no effect on Gu Jiao, a top agent who could drink hallucinogens like water.

However, it seemed that there was no need for any medicine guide to stimulate the effect.

Killer chest, killer waist, killer abdomen, killer leg, killer beauty— Gu Jiao felt that her husband’s five killer features were more formidable than any drug.

Xiao Liulang could tell that she had actually taken the white medicine, but it didn't seem to have much of an effect on her. Although it was strange, he accepted that every drug acted differently on individuals.

Although he was quite looking forward to the effects of the white medicine, one shouldn't be too greedy. It was already a stroke of luck that she hadn't mistakenly taken the black medicine.

Speaking of which, her luck had always been good.

Xiao Liulang couldn't help but curl his lips, unable to hold back his amusement.

Gu Jiao straightened her small body and began to fiddle with her little ear.

Suddenly, he leaned towards her, his tall figure enveloping her with his presence.

Gu Jiao stared at him in a daze as she saw his slender, jade-like fingers lightly hold her chin, and then he placed a faint, gentle kiss at the corner of her lips.

It was quick, it was light, yet it left an immensely scorching sensation.

Gu Jiao touched the corner of her lips that he had kissed, "Why did you kiss me?"

"A reward." His gaze was deep as he sat back in his chair, "You didn't choose the wrong medicine, that's good."

"Oh." Gu Jiao's eyes rolled playfully, "The reward is just this?"

Xiao Liulang, seeing her dissatisfied expression, chuckled softly, "What else do you want?"

Gu Jiao confidently replied, "Let me watch you bathe."

Xiao Liulang: "..."
