The sound of footsteps outside the door interrupted her thoughts.
Mo Xuan took a deep breath and turned to face the door.
The footsteps stopped outside the door, followed by Li Lingge's lazy voice.
"Miss Ruyan, are you ready?"
Mo Xuan's fingers unconsciously twisted the corner of her clothes, but then she forced herself to let go.
She raised a charming smile and her voice was so soft that it seemed like water could drip out of it.
"Your Highness, please come in."
The door opened and Li Lingge's tall figure appeared at the door.
Under the candlelight, his face was even more breathtakingly handsome, but his eyes hid an unfathomable darkness.
He approached slowly, with a faint scent of ambergris mixed with a faint smell of blood.
"Sorry for the wait."
He reached out and lifted Mo Xuan's chin, and gently stroked her lips with his thumb.
"I hope you won't let me down."
Mo Xuan lowered her eyes to hide the hatred in them, but her voice was as charming as a nightingale.
"Ruyan will serve with all her heart."
Li Lingge chuckled and suddenly leaned over to whisper in her ear.
"You know what? You smell really special."
Mo Xuan's heart tightened. Did he discover something?
She forced herself to remain calm, raised her eyes with a puzzled expression, "Why is it so special?"
"Like a bamboo forest after rain, fresh yet with a hint of danger." Li Lingge's fingers slid across the side of her neck, and then he changed the subject, "I like it very much."
He picked up Mo Xuan and walked towards the bed covered with a brocade quilt.
Mo Xuan leaned against his chest and could clearly hear his strong heartbeat.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered Zhao Lingyu's warning: her third brother was suspicious by nature, and any mistake would lead to failure.
With this in mind, Mo Xuan could only force herself to appear shy.
The bed curtains fell, hiding the figures of the two people.
Mo Xuan closed his eyes and said to himself, "Just bear with it a little longer, and I'll be able to take revenge soon."
Li Lingge's breath was getting closer and closer, and Mo Xuan could feel his hot breath on her neck.
The candlelight shone through the veil, casting mottled shadows on the two of them. Mo Xuan felt Li Lingge's fingers slowly sliding down her spine, causing a shudder wherever his fingertips passed.
This is not a trembling of emotion, but a disgust and resistance from the depths of the soul.
"Miss Ruyan's skin is as cool as a piece of cold jade."
Li Lingge's breath sprayed behind her ear, carrying the bitter scent of ambergris and elixir.
He suddenly took out a small gilded box from his sleeve and waved it in front of Mo Xuan.
"I almost forgot about this."
Mo Xuan watched him take out a blood-red pill from the box, and swallowed it with a rolling Adam's apple.
Her pupils suddenly constricted, and she subconsciously thought that her poisoning had been exposed. Could this guy be taking the antidote?
"Why does Your Highness want to take the elixir?"
The unfinished words turned into a scream, and the gauze dress spread out like butterfly wings.
Mo Xuan's whole body was stiff. She was afraid that he would notice something unusual, but she also felt nauseous at the humiliation.
"Why are you so nervous?"
Li Lingge propped himself up, a dangerous light flashing in his dark eyes.
Mo Xuan thought quickly and tears welled up in his eyes.
"I am a virgin, please have mercy on me, Your Highness."
"Look at me." Li Lingge suddenly pinched her chin, "I want to see every expression on your face."
Mo Xuan was forced to meet his gaze. The handsome face so close to her was filled with cruel pleasure. Sweat broke out on his forehead and his breathing became heavier.
She suddenly realized that the Fengshen Powder was silently invading his meridians, but he was completely unaware and only thought it was the excitement brought by the elixir.
This realization made her feel a twisted pleasure well up in her heart, and she took the initiative to put her arms around his neck, her nails almost digging into the skin on the back of his neck.
"Your Highness is amazing."
The voice was so sweet that even she felt unfamiliar with it. Gradually, she didn't know whether she was acting or expressing her true feelings.
The Fengshen Powder was like a living thing, traveling along the blood vessels and eroding Li Lingge's dantian.
However, what Mo Xuan didn't know was that the so-called "Dragon Essence Pill" turned into a cool air and rushed straight to his dantian as soon as it entered his throat.
The crimson outer shell of the pill quickly dissolved, revealing the crystal clear green core inside. This was the Qingxin Yulu, the antidote to Fengshen Powder.
Li Lingge felt the two forces clashing in his body. The Fengshen Powder was like countless tiny silver needles, trying to pierce his meridians.
The antidote turned into warm green waves, wrapping and dissolving the silver needles one by one.
This process should have been extremely painful, but the special formula of the royal secret medicine made everything silent.
His heartbeat was still steady, his breathing was not disordered at all, only a barely perceptible sneer flashed in his eyes.
He had clearly seen through everything, but he still insisted on playing along with her.
Mo Xuan could feel that the Fengshen Powder was seeping into Li Lingge's body. The plan was successful, but why was there no joy in her heart, only endless emptiness and self-loathing?
Whenever a wisp of the poison from the Sealing God Powder tried to erode the heart meridian, the green energy of the antidote would appear in time, dissolving it into harmless water vapor and quietly expelling it from the body through the pores.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from the surface of his skin, gleaming with a strange luster in the candlelight. It was the neutralized toxins leaving his body.
An hour later.
Mo Xuan kissed Li Lingge's lips passionately, and she spoke weakly as her lips were wet with sweat.
"Your Highness, please let me go."
The poisoning was successful, but Li Lingge had almost broken her bones apart, and she could no longer hold on.
It would be fine if it was just one day, but there are still twenty-nine days to come.
