Chapter 22 Help



The night wind was chilly, but the eastern side hall of Cuiyun Palace was brightly lit.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting spat out the last mouthful of poisonous blood, then reluctantly pulled out the silk in his mouth. He took several drops of clean water and rinsed his mouth to wash away the blood that seeped into his mouth.

After the man meditated and adjusted his breathing, he raised his eyes and watched Zong Zheng Xiaoting's every move. His eyebrows were bent, but suddenly tightened, his brows were tightly knitted, and beads of sweat covered his forehead.

There was confusion in his dark blue eyes as he saw Zong Zheng Xiaoting falling to the ground weakly and dizzily.

The body moves faster than the mind.

The man's long legs landed on the ground, and before he could put on his boots, he had already come to Zong Zheng Xiaoting's side. He stretched out his long arms and picked up Zong Zheng Xiaoting, who was about to fall to the ground, into his arms.

Just as Zong Zheng Xiaoting fell into the man's arms, the Dragon Roar Jade Pendant made a low sound, very thin, but for a man with strong internal strength, it was not a bit off.

The man frowned again. The Dragon Roar Jade Pendant would only make the dragon roar sound to remind its owner when foreign toxins were approaching. Could it be that it absorbed the toxins and caused poisoning?

When she was poisoned before, this jade pendant did not react at all when it was close to her.

But this poison is not extremely cruel, it shouldn't be like this.

The person in his arms now had snow-white skin that became even more pale because of the poison. Even though he was unconscious, his brows were still tightly furrowed and his lips were tightly pursed. Even when the poison had just taken effect, he did not even utter a single groan. What a stubborn character he had.

Well, I still have to rely on her these days.

The man lowered his eyes and took out an exquisite glass box from his arms. Three tiny pills lay quietly in the box. The dazzling color of the glass reflected the preciousness of the pills.

With his slender fingers, he quickly picked up a pill and stuffed it into Zongzheng Xiaoting's mouth. Then he lifted Zongzheng Xiaoting onto the sitting platform, fixing Zongzheng Xiaoting's body, and the man's body. The palm of his hand pressed firmly against Zongzheng Xiaoting's back, slowly injecting some internal force, urging the pills in his body to quickly integrate.

A quarter of an hour later, Zong Zheng Xiaoting woke up slowly and felt the heat in his body. Zong Zheng Xiaoting was surprised to find the temperature coming from his back.

"What... are you doing?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting spoke weakly.

"Awake?" The man casually said, and he put away his inner strength before walking back to his seat. He glanced at Zongzheng Xiaoting with his narrow and long red phoenix eyes: "You were poisoned, and I saved you. How do you think I should repay you?"

Repay?

Poison attack?

Zong Zheng Xiaoting narrowed his eyes slightly. Judging from the man's behavior, it should have nothing to do with the poison he had given him. Otherwise, he would not need to clear his luck in this way. In that case, it could only be the poison that Doctor Chen mentioned.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting laughed softly, "You poisoned me, then used your Qi to help me, and you said you were repaying me. Don't you think that's a little ridiculous? If I stabbed you, then bandaged you and treated you, do you think I would repay you? Do you agree?"

"But I didn't poison you. It looks different this way, doesn't it?" The man chuckled. Although his face under the mask could not be seen, he gave Zong Zheng Xiaoting a feeling of evil, wanton and frivolous.

People like this are very dangerous!

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's first feeling was that he had made a fortune, so he had to stay as far away from it as possible.

The evil and charming people have such thick frost in their eyes, and the control of their emotions is unfathomable. Such people are often the most dangerous.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting sorted out his thoughts and raised his head. "Even so, I didn't ask you to save me. Money and money are mutually exclusive, and it's only natural. Even if the price of saving you is being affected by the poison, then I can only say that it's my business that has lost money and I've missed the risk. What's more, I didn't ask you to save me. How do you know that I want to live?"

"No one would seek death." The man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly remembered what Zong Zheng Xiaoting said in the courtyard.

What is the joy of life, and what is the sorrow of death? Sometimes, not everyone is afraid of death. Don't you know that there are women in the deep palace who want to die but cannot? Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words echoed in his ears. Does this woman really want to die?

"But not everyone is afraid of death." Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked back at the man fearlessly.

In Zongzheng Xiaoting's heart, there was a vague feeling that he wanted to escape from this man subconsciously. Since he knew that this man was not simple, he could not let him catch his weakness. The more he showed that he was not afraid of death, the less this person could use death to threaten him.

"You're not afraid of death. Then, what's the use of money after you die?" The man leaned against the cushion and looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting lazily.

"Money makes the world go round. In the harem, not being afraid of death does not mean you will die. You have to do your job well, so if you have money to live a good life, why not enjoy the days ahead?" These frank words came out of Zong Zheng Xiaoting's mouth.

There are people who love money, but there is only one person who loves money as much as this person and yet is so righteous.

interesting!

He looked at Zong Zheng Xiaoting with an inquiring gaze.

"If I hadn't saved you, you would have died by now, so I think the 100 taels this time should be used as a cancellation."

"No!" Zong Zheng Xiaoting reacted sharply and interrupted the man.

She looked unhappy and glared at the man and said, "You saved me not for me, but for yourself!"

Zong Zheng Xiaoting stood up and covered his purse with both hands. "You need time to hide in Cuiyun Palace. In the next few days, your injuries may recur. In order to avoid any surprises, you will definitely need an errand boy. Now, this errand boy must be me!"

"So?" The man raised his eyes disdainfully and tapped the couch with his fingertips.

"You saved me in order to save yourself, which is what you asked for. Even if I die saving you, I have done my money. So, even if I can't spend it, it's still mine. Therefore, your life-saving grace is just self-saving, so I don't owe you anything. After all, the beneficiary of this purposeful rescue is not me." Zong Zheng Xiaoting spread out his pure hands towards the man.

The man looked at the palm of his hand in confusion.

"Will you need my service tomorrow?" Zong Zheng Xiaoting put on a service smile and put aside the fierceness that had just come from protecting his property.

The man shook his head. He was indeed a careful money-seller. Whenever he talked about a deal, he would always smile. After all, it was easier to do business with such a person.

The man took out fifty taels of silver and closed his eyes to take a nap.

In my ears, I heard a sweet and smiling voice: "Sir, take your time to rest. The food is on the table. I'll take my leave."

The door closed gently, and the corners of the man's mouth slightly raised. The little palace maid who changed her attitude according to the situation and was greedy for money was interesting.
