Tao Yao's heart moved, but she didn't believe that he would deliberately poison himself because of her. She said, "Did you deliberately lure me here? Were you the one who arranged for those flower-selling children and the black-clad thief who kidnapped the child?"

Chu Huanjun still didn't deny it, and said, "If I don't use some tricks, how can you be willing to come to me obediently?"

Tao Yao was a little anxious and angry, and asked, "What's going on with Zhining? And what's going on with Yunqing outside? Are you all in the same group?"

After saying that, Chu Huanjun suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Tao Yao quietly for a long while. Tao Yao was so angry that she pointed at him and cursed, "What are you looking at?"

Chu Huanjun snorted lightly, exerted force in his palm, and pulled Tao Yao onto the bed with great force.

At that time, Yun Qing's voice was heard outside the cabin door.

"Your Highness? Are you okay? I just heard some noise over here..."

As soon as Yun Qing finished speaking, the hatch was pushed open with a creak.

Chu Huanjun raised his long arm and pulled away the bed curtains around the couch. In an instant, thousands of strands of red gauze swayed down in the wind, isolating the couch from the outside space and covering up the scene inside the couch.

Tao Yao subconsciously wanted to hide, but Chu Huanjun hooked her back with his legs and caught her in his arms like a loach.

"Your Majesty?"

Yun Qing asked again tentatively.

At this moment, Chu Huanjun mischievously pinched the soft flesh on Tao Yao's waist, and Tao Yao cried out in pain.

An awkward, dry laugh echoed from outside the tent, and Yun Qing said awkwardly, "I'm sorry to have disturbed your Highness's pleasure..."

As soon as Yun Qing finished speaking, she slipped out the door and considerately closed the cabin door tightly.

Tao Yao simply took advantage of the situation and lay on top of Chu Huanjun. She rolled over and pinned him down, twisting his waist mercilessly. She gritted her teeth and said, "You two really did collude."

Chu Huanjun had already been poisoned, and after being tormented by her, he couldn't bear it anymore and started coughing, his breathing a little unstable. "Yun Qing was working for me, so what's the collusion? It was obviously your own carelessness that made it so easy for me to succeed."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and gently pinched her cheek, smiling indulgently.

"you!……"

In front of the shameless Chu Huanjun, Tao Yao was defeated again.

Chu Huanjun's breathing became increasingly rapid, and cold sweat covered his forehead. It would be a lie to say she wasn't worried about him. Tao Yao had been a good person for half her life, after all, and she still had a conscience. If she were to watch a living person slowly die in front of her, she wouldn't be able to bear it.

So, Tao Yao pulled up her sleeve to wipe the cold sweat from Chu Huanjun's forehead and said, "Alright, stop trying to be so stubborn. You've been poisoned, and detoxification is the most important thing now."

After saying that, Tao Yao stood up to leave, but was pulled back into Chu Huanjun's arms.

Tao Yao said anxiously, "I'm going to get you some medicine. Don't you want to live anymore?"

Chu Huanjun snorted coldly and said with a smile: "You lied to me, you are not going to get medicine, you are going to run away."

"I really need to get some medicine." Tao Yao said seriously, "I can't just watch you die in front of me. I'm not a heartless person, and I still feel guilty."

Although Chu Huanjun spoke tough, his body couldn't lie. Although his hands were tightly holding Tao Yao, Tao Yao could feel that he was just forcing himself to exert force and was just hanging on for a breath.

This poison was extremely strong, and not something an ordinary person could endure. Chu Huanjun, relying on his years of martial arts training and a stronger body than the average person, expended his internal energy to maintain his current state of consciousness. However, he probably couldn't endure it for much longer.

"Chu Huanjun, don't you still have a lot of things to do? You can't just die like this."

Tao Yao hardened her heart. Since he was unwilling to let go, she pinched the soft flesh in his palm with her nails, thinking that he would let go if it hurt.

As her nails gradually dug into her skin, Tao Yao slowly felt a tide rising between her and Chu Huanjun's palms. Looking down, she saw drops of blood dripping from her tightly clasped hands, seeping into the snow-white bedding and blooming a little bright red.

But Chu Huanjun still didn't want to let go, and he remained unmoved even when she dug her nails deeper into her skin.

Could it be that this poison can paralyze people's nerves and make Chu Huanjun lose his sense of pain?

Tao Yao was a little anxious and looked at Chu Huanjun's gradually unfocused eyes helplessly. She pulled up his collar and shook his body, trying to keep him awake.

"Chu Huanjun, say something! You can't just die like this, do you hear me?"

Tao Yao patted Chu Huanjun's face again, causing him to cough violently.

"I can't die... I won't die that easily..."

Chu Huanjun choked, his entire body trembling with coughing. Suddenly, every part of his body felt as if it were on fire, and a wave of pain shot up towards his heart. He felt his mind drifting between reality and fantasy, and his body alternated between fever and cold, with no rhythm.

This kind of poison was not the first time he had seen it.

This was Ice Silkworm Poison, originating from an ancient mystical technique from the Western Regions. Years ago, he had followed the Emperor to the desert. While passing through the Golden Mirage Kingdom, a group of soldiers and generals had been struck by the Ice Silkworm Poison, experiencing symptoms identical to those he was experiencing now.

There is no cure for this poison. The only solution... Chu Huanjun recalled that the soldiers and generals who were poisoned by the ice silkworm poison were to break into a local brothel, abduct all the prostitutes in the building and bring them back to the camp. They had sex with them before the poison was cured.

If you try to endure it, the poison will probably attack your heart and you will die.

I don’t know where Zhining got the poison from, but she actually dared to put it on him. It seems that she was determined to trick him.

Chu Huanjun grabbed Tao Yao's shoulders and said in a trembling voice, "Antidote..."

"Antidote?" Tao Yao grabbed his hand and asked hurriedly, "Do you know how to cure this poison? Okay, tell me the prescription and I'll get it for you."

“No need…” Chu Huanjun used all his strength to prop up half of his body from the bed, and then fell limply into Tao Yao’s arms like a snake, and said softly: “There are so many servants outside, just tell anyone to go…”

"what?"

Tao Yao stood there, somewhat bewildered, letting Chu Huanjun stretch out his arms and wrap them around her neck. What should she do now? Chu Huanjun looked so miserable and weak. Should she hold him?

So, Tao Yao awkwardly put her arms around Chu Huanjun's waist and patted his back gently from time to time as if she was coaxing a child.

"Then...should we call Yun Qing in first? Have her tell a few people to get some medicine... Hey, hey!"

Before Tao Yao could finish her words, Chu Huanjun had already thrown her down onto the couch.
