Tufu's Mansion

After Su Yuejian woke up, Su Lin asked the court doctor to check her pulse again. Only after confirming that she was really fine did he leave with peace of mind.

Su Yuejian and Yan Xu repeatedly assured her that she was fine and that she was just too tired.

A few people wanted to sit for a while, but when they heard the maid beside her say that Su Yuejian had not slept all night last night, they also got up and returned to Qiu Shui Xuan to let her have a good rest.

After everyone left, Su Yuejian took his own pulse and found that his pulse was indeed normal.

Su Yuejian couldn't help but frown. She was sure that she felt a sharp pain in her heart at that time.

Confused and puzzled, he lay on the bed with his eyes lowered in thought, and gradually fell into sleepiness.

She seemed to sense something strange while she was sleeping soundly. She smelled the faint scent of cedar and gently lifted her eyelashes.

As his vision blurred, he saw a familiar figure. He raised the corners of his lips slightly and said lazily, "A Che?"

Xiao Heng sat sideways on the edge of the bed and responded softly, "Hmm." He raised his hand and gently stroked her soft black hair.

"Don't worry, I fainted today because I didn't sleep last night." Su Yue saw that there was still some haziness in her eyes, and she curved her lips and added, "Don't worry, it won't happen again. Starting tomorrow, I will follow Xuan Shuang to practice physical training."

Xiao Heng looked at her drooping eyelids, looking so sleepy and confused. His voice was clear and deep, with a smile on his face, "Physical training?"

"Yeah." Su Yuejian responded softly, "Strengthening...body...can...well..."

Before she could finish her words, she fell silent. The girl's cheeks were rosy, her breathing was long, and she was sleeping soundly and comfortably.

Xiao Heng curled his lips, his eyes and brows showed a little more tenderness, and he leaned over and kissed her forehead.

……

Regent's House

"How is this possible?"

Qi Yuan pursed his lips, frowned, and paced around the room.

"She actually wasn't poisoned by paraquat."

Looking at the people swaying in front of him, Xuan Yu felt dizzy.

"Doctor Qi, please sit down and rest for a while. It is said that our princess is a skilled doctor. I think there is no poison in this world that the princess cannot cure."

Qi Yuan crossed his arms and shook his head doubtfully. After a moment of contemplation, he looked at the person in the upper position and gave a flattering smile, "Your Majesty."

Xiao Heng raised his eyelids slightly.

"Could you please get a paraquat antidote for me and the Princess?"

Qi Yuan's eyes were bright and full of pleading.

Xiao Heng didn't answer. After a long silence, he said, "Are you sure she's okay?"

Qi Yuan nodded, "After checking the pulse probe today, the princess is in good health except for a little blood deficiency!"

Xiao Heng lowered his eyes, and there was inquiry hidden in his deep eyes.

"Where did she go today?"

The secret guard reported back, "The princess went to Dajue Temple early this morning, then to Jiyitang, and finally returned to the Taifu Mansion. Not long after, she fainted."

Xiao Heng's slender fingers tapped on the table, and his dark eyes were as deep as the long night outside.

The long night is like an endless abyss.

Ji Ci's originally handsome face turned hideous, veins bulged on his forehead, his face was pale, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

The love poison bites back, causing bone-eating and heart-piercing pain.

His body trembled slightly due to the severe pain, as if countless ants were gnawing at his body, every inch of his skin seemed to be burning, and every minute and every second was torture.

Hei Yun frowned, his eyes fixed on Ji Ci, worried and anxious.

My thoughts are in turmoil.

Love Gu is the best among all poisons. Those who are poisoned by it will lose consciousness and completely surrender. They will be completely devoted to the person who cast the poison on them and love him/her for the rest of their lives. When the poison attacks, it is like being bitten by thousands of insects. The pain will only stop when they see their beloved one.

Who did the master put the love poison on? Most importantly, how could the master be poisoned by the love poison?

It was not until the eastern sky gradually turned pale that Ji Ci slowly opened his tired eyes and then fell down weakly.

"Lord!"

Hei Yun hurried forward to support him. Ji Ci held on tightly and said weakly, "It's okay."

Hei Yun was sweating profusely and wanted to persuade Ji Ci to go back and recuperate. "Master, the love poison has backfired and will either kill you or injure you. Your vitality has been severely damaged. It is really difficult for you to recover..."

His words were suddenly stuck before he could finish them. Hei Yun looked at Ji Ci's pale face and saw a smile on his face, with excitement flashing in his eyes. He could not help but stand there in a daze.

Ji Ci raised the corners of his lips. Although his weak smile was not as bright and dazzling as before, his mood was more turbulent than ever before.

"Yes, the love poison is backfiring."

"No one in this world can remove the love poison except the person who cast it."

Heiyun's doubts deepened.

Ji Ci's body slumped limply, his lips pale as a bloodless cloud, his gaze fixed on the flying insects flashing red light in the house.

His eyes flashed brightly, and his voice was weak but could not hide his excitement, "Unless the one who was poisoned..."

"Invulnerable to all poisons."

Hei Yun was shocked, "How is this possible? The Saint's bloodline was cut off a hundred years ago!"

Ji Ci raised his eyelashes slightly and smiled, "Have you forgotten the prophecy of the Holy Shrine?"

Hearing this, Heiyun looked solemn.

"My Lord, if this is true, then this person must be brought back to Nanwan."

Ji Ci chuckled, "Yes, I'm going to take it back."

Then he lowered his eyes, and suddenly a small fiery red snake emerged from his right wrist, like a burning flame. The bright red color made the boy's skin look even whiter.

The little snake's scales sparkled strangely in the sunlight, and it spit out its tongue from time to time, as if communicating something with its owner.

In a blink of an eye, the little red snake seemed to have heard some kind of instruction and swam quickly, and the red flying insect was rolled into its belly.

Ji Ci moved slightly, and the little snake coiled back around him and instantly disappeared under the skin of his wrist, as if it had never appeared.

The corners of Ji Ci's eyes curled up slightly, and his thin, pale lips were raised.

Master, you were born to be mine.

...

"A-choo!" Su Yue felt an itch in her nose and sneezed without warning.

Bai Yi set the meal on the table and shouted to Su Yuejian, who was squatting in the yard, "Yue girl, stop practicing and eat first!"

Yuzhu came over and said, "Sister Xuanshuang, please eat something first."

These days, Su Yuejian has been following Xuanshuang in physical training, from the Five Animal Exercises to the Thirteen Postures, and has been learning very seriously.

Xuan Shuang originally thought that Su Yuejian was just joking around, but she didn't expect that she would actually stick with it.

Unfortunately, she has no internal strength, and it is too late to learn martial arts now. Learning these can only improve her physical fitness.

Su Yuejian didn't care, she just wanted to keep fit.

Last time in Cuishan, she found that her physical strength was too weak. If she encountered danger in the future, she would lose her energy halfway through the run.

It is necessary to enhance physical endurance.

Xuanshuang nodded slightly, Su Yuejian curved her eyebrows, took the handkerchief from Yuzhu and wiped her sweat.

"Hey, it's sticky buns!" Looking at the yellow and white dumplings on the table, Su Yue's eyes lit up.

Bai Yi smiled and picked up a yellow dumpling and placed it in Su Yuejian's bowl. "Surprise, right? Come and try it. This is made by the master himself!"

After practicing for a whole morning, Su Yuejian was already starving. He immediately picked up one and put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes in satisfaction.

"Mmm! That's the scent! So delicious!"

The corner of his eye glanced at the person standing motionless beside him, "Xuanshuang, why don't you sit down? Come and try it. Don't be fooled by the ordinary appearance of this sticky bun. It tastes sweet and soft."

Xuanshuang looked at the white and glutinous ball in the bowl, her brows moved slightly, she was silent for a while, glanced at Bai Yi with cold eyes, and then slipped away.

Su Yuejian saw the coldness in her eyes, was stunned for a few seconds, and turned to look at Bai Yi.

Bai Yi shrugged bewilderedly.
