Qiao Wan heard the noise inside and rushed in to ask Qiao Jianhong: "Do you know who drugged you?"

Qiao Jianhong said, "Awan, you are a girl, get out."

Qiao Wan couldn't help but roll her eyes, wanting to ask what time it was, but Xu Shu suddenly said, "Qiao Wan, let's talk alone."

"Ah?" Qiao Wan muttered a little speechlessly, "Are you two really hiding this from me?"

But he still walked out obediently.

Xu Shu found a place far away from Qiao Jianhong and sat down: "Tell me, what do you have to hide from Qiao Wan?"

"No need to save me." Qiao Jianhong coughed lightly, "I've been thinking a lot these days. I can't save Bai Danchen, right?"

Xu Shu: "Giving up just like that doesn't seem like your style."

"I should have died by your arrow, but I didn't die, and you had no intention of continuing to kill me. Why?" Qiao Jianhong did not answer this question, but asked Xu Shu instead.

Xu Shu sneered: "How do you know that I didn't give you this medicine?"

Qiao Jianhong smiled and shook his head after hearing this, but he didn't say why. He just asked Xu Shu: "Did you reach any agreement with Mu Tonghai?"

Xu Shu also asked him back: "You know who drugged you, right?"

The two fell silent together.

No one wanted to answer the questions thrown by the other, but Xu Shu was obviously more patient.

After all, he was already at the end of his strength on the bed. After coughing up a handkerchief of blood, Qiao Jianhong finally sighed: "I have made countless enemies over the years for the so-called plot, and now... cough cough, this is my retribution."

"You still know that you will get your comeuppance." Xu Shule laughed, "Putting aside my personal prejudice, I admire you very much. For your first love, you even killed the emperor. This is great courage."

Qiao Jianhong curled his lips and smiled, but it was uglier than crying: "What you said to me that day in Qiao's house was all lies, right?"

"You won't live to see that day." Xu Shu waved his hand, pretending to be indifferent, "Why bother about this? I won't write a troublesome guy like you alive anyway."

"I've heard that you are good at both literature and martial arts. Is the popular book Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea your work?"

"You've seen this?" Xu Shudu had changed his opinion of Qiao Jianhong. "It's a bit strange."

Qiao Jianhong hummed, but coughed up blood again. Xu Shu felt sorry for him, so he took out a handkerchief and threw it to him. After throwing it, he laughed at himself and said, "I have only handed a handkerchief to my little Mu Jin in my life."

Qiao Jianhong took the handkerchief and laughed twice: "No wonder he was unwilling to take my handkerchief.

Xu Shu's fist hardened: "You bastard, are you really looking for death?"

He punched Qiao Jianhong in the face, not caring at all that this guy was a patient. He made him spit blood all over the bed, and then he fell on the bed, unable to get up for a while.

"You are such a good guy." Qiao Jianhong cursed while coughing, but he smiled after cursing, "I have never loved him."

"I can beat you even though I haven't loved you before." Xu Shu wiped the blood off his hands and lost his patience for a moment, "I'll give you another chance."

"Cooperate with me, help me get the adaptation rights for this world, and I will help you resurrect Bai Danchen."

"You are so successful now, and you still need my help?" Qiao Jianhong sneered, "Besides, you can't prove whether the adaptation rights are real or fake."

"I don't intend to prove it to you." Xu Shu said indifferently, "I just want you to live a few more days to see the effect. Is this a difficult thing for you?"

Qiao Jianhong fell silent for a while, then smiled softly and said, "Originally there is no loss. If it were before, even if I knew you were just provoking me, I would still agree. But now..."

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "I really won't live long."

This is easier to say. Anyway, Mu Tonghai was able to save her last time, so he can definitely save her this time.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Qiao Wan shouting outside the door: "Xu Shu, Mu Tonghai is here, are you two done with Mo Ji? Shall we go in?"

"Come in." Xu Shu shouted, then looked at Qiao Jianhong: "If you are not dead, remember to get up and help me."

Qiao Jianhong laughed and said, "Save me if you can."

Xu Shu didn't say anything, but took out the wedding invitation he brought with him from his arms and placed it beside Qiao Jianhong's bed, making sure that the place would not be contaminated by his blood. Then he smiled gently and said, "This is our wedding invitation. Please come and show your support, General."

At this time, Qiao Wan just pulled Mu Tonghai in. Hearing Xu Shu's words, she was a little surprised: "What about me? You don't invite me?"

Xu Shu glanced at her and took out another one from his pocket: "Please come and see me, Miss Qiao."

Mu Tonghai at the side was also watching eagerly, but Xu Shu just glanced at him and then looked away. He had no intention of giving him the invitation, but urged him: "Hurry up and save General Qiao."

Mu Tonghai: "My friend, there is just a little friction between us, why are you targeting me like this?"

Xu Shu glanced at him lightly and said, "You tried to use me in the martial arts exam and almost ruined my reputation as the top scholar. I can't do what I promised Xiao Mujin."

"During that time, you even tried to stop me from killing Qiao Jianhong. I cooperated with you because I saw that it was not easy for you to work. What about you? You even tried to threaten me with Xiao Mujin."

"Taking all these things into account, I'm lucky I didn't kill you. Now I just don't invite you anymore, and you still have the nerve to ask me for it?"

Mu Tonghai: ...

It can't be said.

He could only look at Qiao Jianhong lying on the bed in shame. After one look, he lost interest in joking with Xu Shu and just cursed: "Why didn't you come to see me earlier? You've been poisoned for quite a while."

Qiao Jianhong hummed and looked at Mu Tonghai: "Old man, you are not going to act like a prime minister today?"

Mu Tonghai: ...

"You two!" He glanced at Xu Shu, then pointed his finger at Qiao Jianhong with trembling hands, "You two are planning to piss me off to death so that you can inherit my unfinished work and my damaged finances, right?"

"Besides." He punched Qiao Jianhong, "I only look old. I'm only in my thirties today."

"He looks old, and he is old too." Qiao Wan added quietly. Seeing that Mu Tonghai was about to explode again, he quickly said, "I didn't say anything. Let's get down to business."

Mu Tonghai was so angry that his breath was stuck in his chest, but he couldn't utter a curse. He glared at one for a while, then looked at that one.

Xu Shu, however, did not indulge him and said coldly, "Hurry up and make it quick. I have something else to do tonight."

Mu Tonghai lost his temper instantly and asked Qiao Jianhong: "Do you know who drugged you?"

"I can't say." Qiao Jianhong grinned, very weak, but also very annoying, "So can you cure it?"

Mu Tonghai: ...
