In the candlelight, the light shining through the person cast a huge shadow that enveloped Jiang Qingyao.
It was as if she was firmly imprisoned in this world, unable to move.
She saw it clearly at such a close distance.
It turns out that even someone as cold and calm as Marquis Anguo would reveal unusual emotions when kissing.
Jiang Qingyao looked into He Zheng's dark eyes, and her burning desire surged, almost bursting out and drowning him.
When He Zheng pulled her belt, he was much more skillful than when she hit him, and he took off her clothes in just a few seconds.
Jiang Qingyao suddenly felt like a crabapple with its petals peeled off, revealing the pistil inside.
The coolness in the air brushed across her skin, and she couldn't help but tremble slightly, grabbing He Zheng's arms with both hands.
Jiang Qingyao was a little breathless and let out a suppressed groan.
The kiss was a bit long and deep. She tasted a faint taste of fruit wine, but it was not as unpleasant as the ones at the palace banquet.
It's sweet.
He Zheng waited until she caught her breath, and his gaze seemed to burn her.
Jiang Qingyao met his deep eyes and moved her lips as if to say something, but He Zheng lowered his head and kissed her.
"Hmm."
Still coming?! Isn’t he suffering from a hidden illness that makes him unable to move?
Although Jiang Qingyao is a virgin, it doesn't mean that she knows nothing. What is the proud... ferocious thing pressing against her?
It gave her a strong sense of danger.
Only then did she become completely nervous, and then she bit him in panic.
She bit He Zheng's lips so hard that they were broken.
Without even frowning, he let go of her, pinched her chin, and rubbed her red lips with the thin calluses on his fingertips.
Jiang Qingyao blinked her watery eyes and panted, "You...you are not sick?"
Her tone revealed a sense of anger and grievance at being deceived.
He Zheng lowered his eyes slightly: "Yes."
Jiang Qingyao considered whether to pull the quilt over her face first, but then thought, since she had already seen it, it would be a bit pretentious to cover it up again.
I had no choice but to suppress my embarrassment and talk to him.
Little did she know that He Zheng reached out and pulled the quilt over her chest.
Jiang Qingyao licked her lips suddenly and said, "You're pressing me so hard that I can't breathe..."
In fact, it was because of the weapon that scared her. However, He Zheng was so tall and strong that it was really oppressive when he fell over her, leaving her no room to struggle.
The next moment, He Zheng moved away from her, and they both sat on the bed, facing each other.
Jiang Qingyao looked at him while holding the loose quilt, her eyes swept across the open part of the gorgeous clothes opposite, which just revealed He Zheng's abdomen and the well-defined abdominal muscles.
Now is not the time to look at this!
She looked away calmly.
He Zheng's deep voice rang out, "Years ago, I was poisoned while trying to save His Majesty. The military doctor used a variety of poisons to force out most of the toxins, but the remaining toxins could not be eradicated and even formed new poisons."
He had an indifferent expression, as if he was talking about someone else.
"If you have sex, the toxins will transfer to the other person's body, causing them to die suddenly."
“…” Jiang Qingyao was stunned.
No wonder he was so fierce just now and the reaction was so big, but he didn't really do anything to her.
Because it would kill her.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and Jiang Qingyao asked in a low voice: "Does His Majesty know too?"
He Zheng replied affirmatively: "Yeah."
Jiang Qingyao's heart moved.
This was a lie he and His Majesty jointly told, deceiving everyone!
She thought of the description of Marquis Anguo outside, saying that he was the sword of His Majesty.
A person without any soft spots or weaknesses is not suitable to be a knife.
So Marquis Anguo and Your Majesty created a weakness with their own hands - the extinction of the family line.
So in the eyes of outsiders, Marquis Anguo saved Your Majesty, and you were friends for life and death, and sworn brothers. But he just happened to have no descendants, and he never had any offspring in this life.
Only such a person can be given power by the emperor without being overly wary of him.
Marquis Anguo and Your Majesty seem to be playing a big game of chess.
Jiang Qingyao couldn't help but shudder as she thought about it. She didn't want to know this secret at all!
Not safe.
The more you know, the faster you die.
But she still knew it.
Jiang Qingyao took a breath and asked, "Besides Your Majesty, who else knows about this?"
Could it be that she is the only survivor?
He Zheng had no intention of hiding anything and replied, "The former director of the Imperial Hospital, Zhang Ling, has now retired and returned to his hometown."
After a pause, Jiang Qingyao asked tentatively, "Could it be that the old friend you said you were going to visit when you encountered the bandits was Zhang Ling?"
"You're going to him to get the detoxification?"
He Zheng's eyes suddenly changed, and he embraced her with his big hands, holding her tightly in his arms.
Hey, her quilt! It flew away.
Jiang Qingyao grabbed He Zheng's clothes and held herself together, but she forgot that this meant he was also treating her with complete sincerity.
Their skin suddenly touched, and even though she was thick-skinned, her cheeks turned red instantly.
“…”
Since it has come to this, I will just throw away the little bit of face I have left.
In the blink of an eye, she gave up and looked up at He Zheng.
He Zheng gently pinched the back of her neck, his voice terrifyingly low, "Well, I'll go find Zhang Ling."
"You're always so clever."
Jiang Qingyao curled her fingertips, grabbing onto her clothes. "I was just guessing."
She changed the subject, "The Marquis is indeed a gentleman of deep purity and elegance. He has remained chaste for so many years. If it were someone else, they would probably only care about their own pleasure and not care about the lives of others."
Even if others are poisoned by this kind of poison, they will not be able to control their desires and will not be interested in women. There will already be a bunch of beautiful women around them. Anyway, it is not his life that is in danger.
