Chapter 605 The Despicable Fake Medicine

Fortunately, the sound of gongs and drums in the courtyard was loud enough, otherwise they would have been discovered.

Song Chunxue covered his mouth, about to speak, when she was suddenly burned by the heat of his lips.

"Spring Snow, you rarely come to my dreams."

Xie Zheng suddenly pulled her into his arms, his arms slowly tightening, the smell of alcohol and his breath blowing on her neck.

"..." She suddenly felt all the hairs on her body stand on end.

Was Xie Zhengzhong using a drug?

That uncle must have eaten the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard!

Song Chunxue immediately pushed him away, gripping his clothes tightly with both hands to prevent him from falling.

What's going on? She felt that Lord Wang's sleeping potion must have been adulterated. She wasn't dizzy at the moment, but her scalp was tight, and her heartbeat was a little strange.

She felt as if it could jump out of her chest at any moment, making her ears ring.

As she adjusted her breathing, she realized that although it was the height of summer, Lord Xie's clothes were very thin, and his body temperature felt like a furnace as it reached her palms.

Just as he was about to let go, Xie Zheng swayed to the left and almost fell.

There was a tree next to the courtyard wall, and they were hidden in its shadow. Below the courtyard wall, Lord Wang was frantically searching for them, spitting as he directed his hundred or so men, ordering them to split up and search for them.

In a moment of desperation, Song Chunxue used a short sword to gag him, preventing him from making a sound.

She was observant and attentive to her surroundings, while Xie Zheng, with his hands on the top of the wall and his legs straddling the wall, stared intently at Song Chunxue.

His eyes held no superfluous emotion; he simply stared at her intently and carefully.

At this moment, accompanied by the dense drumbeats on the exercise paper, Song Chunxue felt as if she had returned to the inn in Zhuanglang County. The scene when she tested Xie Zheng was nothing compared to the thunderous heartbeat she felt now.

She looked away, thinking to herself how foolish she was to knowingly walk into danger and be persuaded by Hu Wanyu.

“They’re gone.” His voice was as gentle as a summer breeze.

Song Chunxue quickly retreated, and just as she was about to say something, she saw Hu Wanyu leading a group of people, lifting their skirts and running out.

"Where is Lord Xie? Where is Master Song?" Hu Wanyu stomped her foot angrily as she looked at the carriage at the door. "Where are they?"

Liu Chunshu and the others quickly realized, "So the people who just ran out weren't there to put out the fire, but to find the Taoist priest and the others?"

He quickly jumped onto the carriage. "Let's go and check the area. The Taoist priest may have taken Lord Xie away."

Fearing that his legs would be seen, Xie Zheng struggled to move onto the wall.

“We have invisibility talismans, so as long as we don’t make a sound, we’ll be fine,” she whispered. “How are you feeling? I’ll take you back.”

Xie Zhenglu gave a silly smile. "It's so soft, I can't move it. I didn't expect to dream about you so soon. What excuse do you want to use to reject me this time?"

"..." Song Chunxue's ears burned, and she looked at him helplessly.

Did he think he was dreaming?

Just as she was pondering whether to knock him unconscious and carry him back, Hu Wanyu complained to a man.

"It's all your fault for giving me this terrible idea. What if we not only fail to bring them together, but they all end up dead under Lord Wang's blade? How will we live peacefully in our next life!"

Song Chunxue's heart skipped a beat. What a terrible idea!

The man comforted him in a low voice, "It's not like you think that once Lord Xie gets married, you won't have to worry about him. As long as you don't have anyone else on your mind, I'll come home on time."

"..." I never expected that Hu Wanyu had this idea.

Are they just some little tricks that this young couple practiced?

She immediately knocked the man unconscious, pulled him up, carried him on her shoulder, and flew away on her sword.

Pushing open Lord Xie's door, she threw him onto the bed and noticed that his body temperature was extremely abnormal. She then decided to go out and find a doctor.

"Don't rush off, there are ghosts outside."

"..." Oh my god, Song Chunxue patted her chest, her scalp tingling from his sudden fright.

Seeing the person on the bed sit up, Song Chunxue not only suspected that the medicine from Lord Wang's house was fake, but also suspected that she had been too gentle and hadn't knocked the person unconscious.

“This is a dream, you can’t make me really pass out,” Xie Zheng said, perhaps noticing her confusion, looking at her in the dim moonlight. “There are candles on the table, I want to see your face.”

"Even in my dreams, you often have your back to me, and it's rare to see you dressed so handsomely."

"You look really good in this outfit. You suffered a lot when you were young. Don't be stingy with money in the future, be more generous to yourself."

His voice was unhurried, low and gentle, just like the night sky tonight.

"..." Seeing the smile in his eyes, Song Chunxue suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

Is he pretending to be stupid or does he really think he's dreaming?

“It’s rare that you didn’t interrupt me, so I’ll say a few more words,” his smile widened and his tone became gentler, “It’s great to be your junior brother, but I still want to call you by your name.”

Song Chunxue felt she couldn't listen to his nonsense anymore. "You have a fever, I'll go get you some medicine."

"Knock knock knock".

The Taoist priest walked in from outside.

"Go get the medicine now? I was thinking that this kind of Lord Xie would be even more appealing to you." He walked over and held Xie Zheng's wrist to take his pulse.

"Senior brother? When did you get back?" Song Chunxue had the feeling of being caught cheating. "Since you're here, I'll go back first."

“Hmm,” the Taoist priest didn’t stop her.

As soon as she stepped out the door, she went straight up the mountain and quietly slipped into her room.

"Senior brother, I'm not sick. I'll be fine after drinking some ice water." Xie Zheng slapped the Taoist priest's hand away and got up to pour water.

"Sit down," the Taoist priest said helplessly. "Even in this state, you can still restrain yourself and uphold propriety, a truly upright gentleman. There's a reason we became fellow disciples. But I've been practicing this path for a long time; you won't be bored, will you?"

Xie Zheng glared at him, "You're the one who's been holding it in. I just have good self-control and my brain is always on my neck, unlike Wang Can and his group, whose brains are all under their butts."

The Taoist priest was startled, then burst out laughing.

"That's well said, hahaha, so even Lord Xie has his moments of swearing. You truly are my junior brother. How about the three of us set out together from now on, roaming the world with our swords? Junior Brother Song will be in charge of telling the truth, you'll be in charge of getting to the heart of the matter, and I'll be the peacemaker, how about that?"

Xie Zheng looked up and stared at him with a serious expression.

“No good,” he shook his head slightly, “I want to be an executioner and kill all the corrupt officials in the world for the emperor. Corrupt officials are extremely harmful and much more despicable than unscrupulous merchants.”

The Taoist priest fed him a pill, saying, "I thought you were telling me not to go."

Why?

"I'm in your way."

Xie Zheng looked serious and thought for a moment, then said, "No, I'm not jealous of either of you, not now."

The Taoist priest looked at him with great interest.

“Chunxue said she might not discriminate between men and women, could it be that I am too?” Xie Zheng asked with a hint of confusion in his eyes. “I am truly not jealous of the Daoist and her being inseparable, nor am I jealous of your mutual affection.”

"..." What the hell? This drug that doesn't discriminate between men and women is definitely going to damage your brain.

Tomorrow he'll bring bad luck to Wang Can. He'll drug him, but who knows which bastard concocted this drug? It's not a sleeping potion, nor is it a hallucinogen!

"By the way, Taoist priest, have you ever tried to tell me if you have homosexual tendencies?"

"Shut up!"
