While Chu Hengzhi was still daydreaming, Hua Shu had already stood up from his legs and picked up the thrown box.

Seeing that she had no intention of opening the box, Chu Hengzhi suppressed the strangeness in his heart, stood up and walked to her side.

He was about to speak when he looked down and saw blood at the corner of her mouth. He almost subconsciously reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Hua Shu took two steps back almost reflexively, putting some distance between him and him.

Chu Hengzhi's hand froze in mid-air, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Hua Shu also reacted at this time. She looked up and met his cold eyes. She subconsciously wanted to explain, but before she could say anything, she felt a sharp pain in her heart again.

Because of the Tongxin Gu, Chu Hengzhi also felt the pain in his heart. He withdrew his hand and asked, "Are you okay?"

Hua Shu reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth and gave him a bright smile: "It's okay."

"Really?" Chu Hengzhi's lips curled up with a hint of sneer. He took a step closer to Hua Shu, reached out to pinch her chin, and looked into her bottomless eyes.

"Have you forgotten that you have the same heart Gu in your body?"

For some reason, he pinched Hua Shu's hand so hard, as if he wanted to crush her jaw.

The severe pain from her chin made Hua Shu's pretty eyebrows wrinkled, but she didn't care about the severe pain from her chin at this moment, because the pain from her heart was a hundred times that from her chin.

Chu Hengzhi's brows were also furrowed. He withdrew his hands, clenched the clothes in front of his chest, and looked at Hua Shu.

"What's going on? Haven't you cured the poison you gave yourself yet?"

Hua Shu shook her head and looked at the box in her hand with a pale face. If she hadn't noticed that there was something wrong with herself until now, she wouldn't be Hua Shu.

But she didn't understand. She was very careful in what she ate, wore and used, so why did she still fall into the trap? Was there a traitor around her?

Suddenly thinking of something, she turned her head and looked at Chu Hengzhi with cold eyes: "Is there something wrong with your people?"

She originally suspected that there was something wrong with Chu Hengzhi's body, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that the problem was with herself, because if it was Chu Hengzhi, her pain would not be so obvious.

Chu Hengzhi frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Hua Shu just looked at him without saying anything. The tenderness in her eyes was gone, and was instead filled with frost.

"Do you doubt me?" Chu Hengzhi's eyes turned a little colder, and the words he spoke were also frighteningly cold.

Hua Shu shook her head, still saying nothing, just looking at Chu Hengzhi.

Chu Hengzhi tightened his hands in his sleeves. He looked away and said, "Since you don't trust me, you don't have to use my people."

There was a hint of anger in his tone, and he turned and walked towards the window.

"Wait a moment." Hua Shu took two steps forward and grabbed his hand. The next second she frowned and let go of his hand.

"It's not that I don't believe you. You should be able to relate to my discomfort today."

Chu Hengzhi looked down at her loosened hand, a strange emotion flashed in his eyes, he looked back at her and asked: "So you suspect someone has poisoned you?"

Hua Shu shook his head and put the box on the table. He said with a deep look in his eyes, "If someone had poisoned me, I would have found out. It shouldn't be poison."

After saying this, she was silent for a while, then reached out to untie the belt of her inner garment.

Looking at her exposed mandarin duck bellyband, Chu Hengzhi's breathing stagnated, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously. He looked away and asked, "What are you doing?"

Hua Shu didn't say anything. She took out two silver needles and inserted them into two acupuncture points on her chest. Then she looked up at Chu Hengzhi with a hint of coaxing in her voice.

"Your Highness, come and kiss me."

Chu Hengzhi's body stiffened and his breathing quickened. He didn't understand why she wanted to take off her clothes and let him kiss her when they were just talking about something.

Seeing him standing still, Hua Shu's seductive voice rang out again: "Your Highness, I'm cold."

These four short words made Chu Hengzhi feel hot all over. He turned his head to look at Hua Shu, then walked up to her without hesitation, put one arm around her waist, clasped the back of her head with the other, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

This kiss was more fierce than any previous one. He was like a wild beast coming down the mountain, wanting to tear the person in front of him apart and eat him.

Hua Shu just wanted to try if she would still feel pain in her heart if she sealed her heart meridians and came into contact with him. After finding out that it wouldn't, she subconsciously wanted to push Chu Hengzhi away because she was almost unable to breathe.

But when Chu Hengzhi felt that she wanted to push him away, he grabbed both of her hands with one hand, pressed her against the table, and held the back of her head with the other hand.

Hua Shu wanted to push him away, but no matter how hard she tried, the man in front of her remained motionless. She hardened her heart and bit his lip hard.

The smell of blood spread in their mouths. Chu Hengzhi groaned, but still did not let her go.

"Chu Heng...zhi, I can't... breathe anymore." Hua Shu's intermittent voice came.

"It's not that easy to run away after taking advantage of me," Chu Hengzhi gave her a moment to breathe and kissed her lips again.

This time it was much gentler than before, especially after getting Hua Shu's response.

In a state of confusion and passion, Chu Hengzhi had already carried Hua Shu to the chaise longue. His hands subconsciously wanted to take off her underwear, but he accidentally knocked off the silver needle on Hua Shu's chest.

The two people who had originally closed their eyes in a state of confusion suddenly opened their eyes. Hua Shu pushed Chu Hengzhi away and spat out blood again. The severe pain from her heart made her brows frown.

Chu Heng took two steps back before he stood firm. He looked at Hua Shu without saying a word, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that the blood was not coming from his mouth.

After Hua Shu inserted two more silver needles, Chu Hengzhi asked, "What's going on? Why..."

Why was it that every time she was deeply in love and lost in passion, she would feel a sharp pain in her heart and then vomit blood?

Although he hadn't finished speaking, Hua Shu understood what he meant. She shook her head and rubbed her temples, saying, "I don't know."

Chu Hengzhi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth irritably, walked to the table and sat down, then poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.

After putting down the teacup, he turned his head to look at Hua Shu and asked, "Would you like a drink?"

Hua Shu shook her head, reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, looked up at him and asked, "Where did you get this Tongxin Gu from?"

She thought about it carefully and couldn't figure out why the problem came from herself, so she decided to ask Chu Heng where the Tongxin Gu came from.

Chu Hengzhi frowned in dissatisfaction, but did not hide anything. He told the story of Su Zefeng's personal trip to Miaojiang to ask for it.

Hua Shu fell into deep thought after hearing this. Chu Hengzhi looked at the box on the table with his brows furrowed.

"Aren't you going to open the box and see what's inside?"

Hua Shu withdrew his thoughts, took a look at the box, and said, "Your Highness, please help me open it."

Chu Hengzhi hesitated for a moment, but still opened the box. When he saw what was in the box, he froze in place and his face instantly turned gloomy.

"It's really a good thing." His tone was full of sarcasm.
