"Nan Shan, take good care of your master on the way back and brew some Hangover Soup for him when you get there. He’s definitely going to have a headache once he sobers up, so prepare some medicine as well," Wufu instructed Wen Congrui’s servant, Nan Shan.

Nan Shan, too, wore a pained expression. Why did his master have to be so willful today?

He thanked Wufu with a bow and, with the help of other guards, hoisted the now unconscious Wen Congrui onto his back and left.

Watching them depart, Wufu then turned to Ah Jiu, who was also quite drunk, and huffed, "How come you can’t drink yourself to death!" She then said to Xiao Li, "Bai Xiaobai is in the elegant room. Go and call him down to work!"

"Right away!" Xiao Li leaped away swiftly.

Wufu sat down beside Ah Jiu, overwhelmed by the alcohol fumes, and began to feel a headache coming on.

"Wufu." Suddenly her hand was grasped, and someone lifted their head, looking pitiful and said in a woeful voice, "I, I feel terrible!"

"Serves you right! Why can’t you drink yourself to death!" Wufu snorted coldly.

Though she cursed with her mouth, her hand reached for the pear honey water on the table and fed it to him.

Ah Jiu took only a sip before refusing to drink more, shaking his head and saying, "I just, just don’t like him, don’t like him being with you."

Wufu was stunned, her brows furrowing.

"Wufu, my head hurts, I feel sick, blegh." Ah Jiu’s face paled, and he turned to the side, vomiting out loudly.

That taste, sour enough to thrill!

Wufu’s lips twitched, looking at Purple Jade and the others; no need for instructions, they each set off to their tasks: fetching water and handkerchiefs.

"Called it, there’s your misery. Are you feeling any better now?" Wufu rubbed his back, asking.

Blah!

Ah Jiu vomited again.

Wufu’s brows knitted together tightly as she took a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

Ah Jiu turned to smile at her, his face as pale as a ghost’s.

"Wufu." Ah Jiu took her hand and kissed it gently on the mouth.

Wufu stiffened all over, her eyes widened, mouth agape.

The offender seemed unaware of his misdeed and even tried to lean in for another kiss.

"My lord? What are you doing!" Bai Xiaobai rushed over, interrupting the man’s intentions.

Wufu, as if startled, sprang away, while Ah Jiu, already drunk and lacking any strength, lunged into empty air, still clutching her hand, which caused him to fall to the ground.

"My lord!" Bai Xiaobai cried out in shock.

Xiao Li, following behind, slapped his forehead, imagining the scene when the prince awoke; Bai Xiaobai was sure to be in trouble for daring to disrupt his master’s moment.

He looked at Bai Xiaobai sympathetically and hurried to help Ah Jiu up.

It took a moment for Wufu to react, then she said to Bai Xiaobai, "Don’t just stand there startled; hurry up and fetch the Hangover Pill for him to take."

"You, you..." Bai Xiaobai pointed at her: "You were just about to take advantage of his drunkenness!"

Wufu slapped him and growled, "The one taking advantage of drunkenness is your master! Are you blind?"

Struck on the back of his head, Bai Xiaobai still defended his master, "He’s drunk; he doesn’t know anything!"

"And you know he’s drunk!" Wufu said with a sly edge: "So tell me, esteemed Ghost Doctor, who was it that tried to take advantage of drunkenness?"

Bai Xiaobai, knowing he was in the wrong, huffed and awkwardly produced a Jade Porcelain Bottle from the pouch on his waist, took out an elixir, and fed it to Ah Jiu, muttering, "Even if the lord took advantage, it would be you benefiting. He doesn’t know jack."

"Say that one more time! My ears are quite sharp!" Wufu glared at him sidelong.

Bai Xiaobai immediately said to Xiao Li, "What are you standing there for, hurry up and help the lord back!" Otherwise, his chastity will be at risk.
