Chapter 67
The medicine powder hidden in Sai Taxue's sleeve was secretly sprinkled on Su Yuexing's body.
Su Yuexing released him and asked, "Are you alright?"
Sai Taxue looked at her and shook her head, saying, "It's nothing."
Su Yuexing joked, "It really is true that what I said came true."
He smiled and said, "From now on, you should still say auspicious words."
Su Yuexing smiled and nodded in agreement, saying, "You're right!"
With a glint in her eyes, she shouted, "I will be happy! I will be joyful!"
I will accomplish what I want to do!
After she finished speaking, she let out a long sigh of relief and said, "It really does feel much better when I shout it out!"
"Why don't you try shouting it out too!" she encouraged Sai Taxue.
After thinking for a moment, Sai Taxue shouted, "I will be happy! I will be joyful!"
I will accomplish what I want to do!
After they finished speaking, they smiled at each other, and he silently asked himself, "Would I?"
His inner voice told him, "Probably."
"It's getting late, you should get some rest!" Su Yuexing said.
"Yeah! You too!" At this moment, he regretted drugging Su Yuexing.
Because the effects of that drug kept her awake all night.
Watching her departing figure, Sai Taxue's heart sank. Turning around, she saw Yue and Hua standing behind her.
I forgot about the two of them; I wonder if they noticed the little trick I just did.
Yue stepped forward with a cold expression and warned, "Young Master Mei! Miss Su is my master's person."
"Don't think about people you shouldn't be thinking about."
Sai Taxue said respectfully, "Of course, I fell down by accident just now, and Miss Su saved my life."
"That's why the misunderstanding occurred."
After hearing his explanation, Yue left expressionlessly.
After realizing that Yue's presence was no longer around, Hua said, "Just because Yue doesn't know your identity doesn't mean I don't."
“Dr. Sai, if you behave yourself, I will let you live an ordinary life, but if you want to cause trouble…”
"Then this sword in my hand will take your dog's life!"
Sai Taxue replied sincerely, "I understand! I understand! I definitely won't cause you any trouble!"
Hua walked past him, paused, and asked, "What are you referring to as the thing you didn't finish?"
Sai Taxue froze, her mind racing as she tried to figure out how to get out of this.
Hua continued, "If you need any help, I can help you."
After saying that, she added, "I cannot do murder or arson, because I will only kill for my master in this lifetime!"
"And another thing! You must not do anything to harm your master!"
"Apart from these two points, I can help you with anything else."
Sai Taxue's expression changed slightly, and he smiled, "Good, good, good!"
Hua looked at his expression and said, "If your smile isn't genuine, then don't smile."
Sai Taxue's expression stiffened, and Hua explained, "We secret guards need to understand our master's thoughts, so we've been trained in facial expression observation techniques."
"I wouldn't say I'm 100% right from your expression, but I'm pretty close." After Hua finished speaking, she left, and Sai Taxue stood there alone for a long time.
It wasn't until a gentle breeze blew by that he came to his senses and walked towards his room.
The reason he took the opportunity to drug Su Yuexing was to prevent her from appearing at the Dream Mansion tomorrow and ruining his plans.
What he wanted most was to kill Ouyang Min! And to have his most beloved son kill him!
Let him experience what it feels like to be killed by his beloved son! Thinking of this, Sai Taxue's eyes lit up with excitement.
In fact, he had only one purpose in all this time: to kill Ouyang Min! And he was determined to have Li Jinghe, whom he had always been concerned about, kill him!
Judging by the timing, the medicine would take effect about ten days after his wedding.
Ouyang Min, you know your son is getting married, you should be eager to summon him to the palace so you can see your son whom you haven't seen for more than ten years.
I'm also really looking forward to the scene when you meet. Sai Taxue's lips curled into a strange smile.
Su Yuexing hadn't slept for long when she felt itchy all over. At first, she didn't pay attention to it, thinking it was just a mosquito bite.
Later that night, unable to bear it any longer, she went to Sai Taxue's door and said, "Dr. Mei!"
Sai Taxue hadn't actually slept, because he had already anticipated that Su Yuexing would come looking for him.
"What's wrong?" He yawned, as if he hadn't fully woken up.
Su Yuexing said apologetically, "I'm sorry to bother you so late."
"I don't know why my body started to itch for no reason, can you take a look?"
Sai Taxue said, "Come in and sit down."
Su Yuexing entered the room, sat down on a stool, and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"It's alright, let me check your skin first," he said.
Su Yuexing rolled up her sleeves, revealing only a faint redness on her skin, with nothing else noticeable.
He then took her pulse. "Her pulse is a little erratic, but it's not a big problem."
He got up and walked to the medicine box, took out a bottle of powder, poured it into the kettle, poured her a cup, and said, "Drink this, and you should be fine in a few quarters of an hour."
Su Yuexing took it, and without thinking, tilted her head back and drank it. The medicine wasn't bitter; it even had a slightly sweet taste.
She collapsed and fell asleep on the table as soon as she finished drinking it. In fact, there was not only an antidote but also a sleeping potion here.
Sleeping pills need to be ingested to be easily detected, while only powdered pills sprinkled on a person would not arouse suspicion.
Early in the morning, Hua came to Su Yuexing's room and found no one there. She was startled, thinking that Su Yuexing had gone to cause trouble at Li Jinghe's wedding.
Just as she was about to run outside, Yue came over and patted her on the shoulder, saying, "Don't bother looking, I know where he is."
He brought the flowers to Sai Taxue's house and pointed, saying, "She's inside, and she hasn't come out!"
Hua was so surprised that she quickly pushed open the door, drew her sword, and said to Sai Taxue, "How could you do such a thing!"
Sai Taxue felt the chill on her neck and asked, "What did I do?"
Yue held Hua's hand and said, "What are you doing? Let's talk this out."
"Put your sword away first."
Hua Dao: "He drugged Miss Su and took her to his room, I have to kill him!"
Hearing her say that, Yue and Sai Taxue knew she had misunderstood and said, "That's not how it is!"
"You're mistaken!" Yue quickly explained.
"It was Miss Su who felt unwell in the middle of the night and came to see Doctor Mei."
"Although I don't know why she didn't come out, Dr. Mei's window was open."
“I saw what was happening inside the house, and they didn’t do anything.”
After saying that, Yue realized something, walked up to Su Yuexing, and touched her breath with her hand. When she felt the warmth on her fingers, she breathed a sigh of relief.
He asked, "Why hasn't she woken up since last night?"
Sai Taxue explained, "Because that medicine has side effects, she will probably sleep for three days and three nights."
"So long!" Hua exclaimed in surprise.
Yue patted her and said, "It's good that you slept for so long."
Hua realized what was happening and nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, yes! Let her sleep like this for a few days."
After Yue left, Hua asked with a serious expression, "What exactly are you planning?"
Sai Taxue calmly said, "I did nothing."
Hua sneered, "Do you think I would believe that?"
Sai Taxue remained silent, while Hua warned, "If you lay a hand on Master or Miss Su, I will absolutely not let you off easily."
After uttering those threatening words, Hua turned and left, carrying the sleeping Su Yuexing.
Sai Taxue's expression changed, her eyes turning cold. "Li Jinghe, you're really lucky to have so many people caring about you!"
Duke's Mansion
The mansion was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and was bustling with activity. The bridal sedan chair was parked at the gate. Li Jinghe led the bride through the gate, where the old Duke and his wife sat in the upper seats.
"I bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Bowing to the parents twice!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
"Send them to the bridal chamber!"
Li Jinghe was like a puppet, completely at the mercy of others; his eyes were empty and devoid of any emotion.
His heart was filled with both longing and fear.
He hoped Su Yuexing would come to Mengfu; her coming meant that she cared about him.
But at the same time, he didn't want her to come, fearing that her doing so would ruin his plans and also implicate her.
He spent the day tormented by inner turmoil.
He looked at the bright moon in the sky at night, but she still did not come.
Upon entering the room, the bride was sitting on the bed.
Li Jinghe lifted her veil, and Tang Shulan looked at him with a shy expression.
He said expressionlessly, "It's late, time to rest."
Tang Shulan was taken aback, but as a girl, there were some things she was too embarrassed to say, so she could only silently listen and do as she was told.
Li Jinghe picked up the white sheet from the bed, bit his finger, and dripped blood onto the sheet.
Tang Shulan frowned slightly as she watched his actions. He didn't want to touch me, but he wanted others to know that we had a marital relationship.
Why did he do that?
Li Jinghe said, "Just be a good Mrs. Li and I won't make things difficult for you."
"But if you don't behave, I'll make you disappear without a trace."
Tang Shulan was startled, and her face turned frightened.
Li Jinghe took out bedding from the cabinet and spread it on the floor.
He closed his eyes and silently told himself, "It'll be soon; those people are already itching to take action."
However, continuing to take this medicine will cause irreversible damage to oneself.
But for the sake of the bigger picture, there's nothing I can do. Perhaps I'll still be in a wheelchair in the future.
Su Yuexing slept for three whole days. "Hiss!" She got out of bed, covered her head, and looked around.
Sai Taxue walked over and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Su Yuexing asked, "What's wrong with me?"
Sai Taxue explained, "You took my medicine, and that medicine has a side effect: it will make you sleep for three days and three nights!"
Su Yuexing exclaimed in surprise, "What! You mean I've been asleep for three days!"
He nodded, and Su Yuexing said, "Oh no! I haven't taken care of my business yet!" She then quickly got off the bed.
Sai Taxue said, "Li Jinghe has already married Miss Tang. You're too late now."
Su Yuexing paused for a moment and said, "Who said I was going to cause trouble at Li Jinghe's wedding?"
Sai Taxue was stunned, and said evasively, "This is not a random guess!"
Su Yuexing didn't dwell on it. "You go out first, I'll change my clothes."
Sai Taxue then closed the door and waited for her outside.
She didn't go to cause trouble at the wedding, so what is it that she said the matter wasn't taken care of?
He racked his brains, trying to recall if it was...
