[Theoretically, the host will suddenly cough up blood and die in a month. This means he will continue coughing until he dies.]

Xiao Qi did not miss the look in his family's eyes that wanted to kill him, and told the truth.

But I silently said in my heart: It’s just a simple month, it won’t hurt.

After hearing this answer, Ning Wan lost all her energy and shrank back into the quilt.

"Do we have to wait another month? Can't we leave now?" Ning Wan said in self-deprecation.

Ning Wan was a little annoyed. She really couldn't bear to continue coughing up blood.

Xiao Qi, who understood Ning Wan's inner thoughts, remained silent and did not dare to say anything.

In the silent night, only the occasional crackling sound of burning candles could be heard.

From time to time, there were some bird calls outside the house, which made Ning Wan feel annoyed for no reason.

As if to avoid disturbing Ning Wan's rest, only a small candle was lit in the room.

After waiting for a long time without getting any answer, Ning Wan understood something and sat up again, just as he was about to call someone in.

With a creaking sound, Ning Wan subconsciously turned her head and looked over, and saw that the window that had been closed was pushed open.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow moved quickly and nimbly through the window.

Ning Wan's face suddenly darkened.

Although she wanted to leave, the assassin came a little too fast.

Ning Wan took a deep breath, and was about to shout, but the assassin spoke first.

"Don't shout, it's me."

[Host, it's the male protagonist.] Xiao Qi, seemingly feeling guilty, gave a rare reminder.

Ning Wan: I recognized it, it was Shen Jingyi’s voice.

Not an assassin.

Xiaoqi: Why do I feel that the host has some regrets?

Is it an illusion?

Ning Wan frowned as she watched the dark shadow getting closer and closer, and gave up the thought of calling out for help.

After all, you can't beat him in a fight, and shouting will only add to the embarrassment.

Ning Wan's tone was a little unfriendly: "Is it interesting?" Ning Wan couldn't understand it. With Shen Jingyi's ability, they must have let them off a lot by taking back the throne.

But she really couldn't figure out the reason for doing this.

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingyi paused for a moment, but only for a moment before he reacted and walked towards Ning Wan's bed.

"Of course it's interesting."

After walking to the bedside, Shen Jingyi realized that Ning Wan's complexion was indeed extremely bad. Her face was no longer as rosy as usual, and even her eyes had a hint of fatigue.

Shen Jingyi frowned slightly, his eyes showing an emotion that Ning Wan couldn't understand.

Before coming again, he thought about the possibility that Ning Wan was pretending to be sick. After all, she was fine last night, so how could she die overnight?

Shen Jingyi: “Why didn’t you tell me?”

There is no cure, no medicine.

Was it because he had known this for a long time that he was so unscrupulous before?

Ning Wan: "If I say I don't know myself, would you believe me?"

Shen Jingyi's expression was too serious, which made Ning Wan inevitably serious.

However, Shen Jingyi was obviously extremely dissatisfied with this answer.

The sneer echoed in Ning Wan's ears.

She looked at Shen Jingyi in surprise. Even if he knew she was going to die, he didn't have to smile so happily.

But the next second, Shen Jingyi's attitude gave Ning Wan the answer.

"If you really don't want to tell me, then just don't tell me. There's no need to lie to me like this."

It's obvious that he is so uncomfortable just by looking at him, but he has to pretend that nothing is wrong.

Ning Wan: Come on, this guy just doesn’t like to hear the truth, and he’s been quite upset.

Seeing that Chen Jingyi was unmoved, Ning Wan turned her head away and stopped looking at him.

It was just that this look of unwillingness to pay attention to Shen Jingyi completely infuriated the other party.

Shen Jingyi walked forward, leaned over, stretched out his hands and pinched Ning Wan's cheeks, his eyes filled with uncontrollable anger: "Speak!"

Shen Jingyi's hands trembled slightly. Looking at Ning Wan, who was in a very sick state, and feeling Ning Wan's delicate neck, he subconsciously loosened his grip.

"What exactly do you want this princess to say?" Ning Wan was also angry. She stared at the out-of-control Shen Jingyi in front of her with wide eyes and said angrily.

Perhaps Ning Wan's attitude was too strong, Shen Jingyi's hand froze, and Ning Wan took the opportunity to escape from Shen Jingyi's hand and retreated to the corner.

His eyes still stared at Shen Jingyi, wary of his next move.

Shen Jingyi looked at Ning Wan's movements, put his knees on the bed, leaned his whole body to the side, reached out and grabbed Ning Wan's shoulders again, and before Ning Wan could dodge, Shen Jingyi turned over and pressed her under him.

Shen Jingyi's expression was the same as before, and anger was clearly visible in his eyes.

The next moment, Shen Jingyi leaned down without any warning.

Ning Wan's pupils dilated slightly, and she pushed Shen Jingyi's body with all her strength.

But just as he was about to exert force, his hand was firmly grasped by Shen Jingyi in his palm and pushed upwards.

He used both hands to forcefully separate Ning Wan's ten fingers and cross them.

When Shen Jingyi let go of Ning Wan again, Ning Wan felt that she couldn't breathe smoothly.

But Shen Jingyi did not stop his actions, instead he started kissing and rubbing Ning Wan's ears.

One after another, hot kisses fell on Ning Wan's neck, and the hot breath fell on the exposed skin, causing Ning Wan's face to blush.

Ning Wan finally realized that Shen Jingyi was indeed angry, and the situation was developing in a way she didn't want.

Ning Wan was a little confused by Shen Jingyi's strong actions. Looking at Shen Jingyi who was out of control, she gasped slightly: "What are you angry about?"

Ning Wan's eyes were full of confusion, even a bit of mockery.

But this attitude made Shen Jingyi unable to help but want to bully her more.

Shen Jingyi let go of Ning Wan's hand and moved to Ning Wan's lips. His hand slowly moved from Ning Wan's lips to another kiss.

"Princess, why don't you take a guess?" Shen Jingyi hummed softly in Ning Wan's ear, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he spoke meaningfully.

"Didn't you poison me yourself? Why are you angry? Isn't this the result you wanted?"

Ning Wan obviously didn't want to guess. After getting Xiao Qi's hint, she asked three fatal questions in a row, leaving Shen Jingyi speechless for a moment.

What Ning Wan said was not wrong. He was indeed the one who poisoned the person in the beginning, but the poison he used was clearly fatal. How could it be delayed for so long before taking effect, and in the way he disliked the most now?

Chen Jingyi lowered his eyes to look at Ning Wan, who was still panting. He leaned over again and nibbled at Ning Wan's ear: "You clearly know that you were poisoned, and you also know that it was me. Why didn't you ask me for the antidote?"

If it were to start, Shen Jingyi might still believe what Ning Wan said about not knowing.

But now, she clearly knew.
