Xiao Tang: "Uh...yes, yes."
The obvious skepticism in his tone made her feel guilty.
【Wait a minute, I was just trying to get you the antidote for the poison, why would I feel guilty?!】
The fingers that had been gripping her red lips gradually loosened their pressure.
From pinching to caressing.
Her rough fingertips contrasted sharply with her delicate, soft lips.
Xiao Tang smiled stiffly: "Husband, do you not believe me again?"
I feel like biting off this thing's finger.
【Ahhh~~~ I'll bite him off and see if he dares to be so insolent to me again.】
The man fell silent for a moment.
However, he didn't ask any more stern questions and let go of her hand.
Xiao Tang: [Phew~~ That was close.]
"It seems Tangtang has almost finished preparing the antidote for the Gu poison?"
He mentioned it casually.
Xiao Tang narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling that his question was unusual.
To be honest, ever since she agreed to cure him of the Gu poison, this man seems to have never cared about her preparing the antidote.
In the end, it seemed like she was the only one who was anxious.
On the other hand, this guy is eating, sleeping, and drinking well, acting like nothing's wrong.
[This really reflects the saying... the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is.]
"Don't worry, my husband, the antidote for the poison will be finished soon. It's almost done, so please don't worry."
Although he didn't look worried at all.
Di Jingling said nothing more, but simply held her small hand gently in his palm.
Playing with it.
It's like playing with a cute doll.
Xiao Tang's paws were small, soft, and very fair and lovely.
The contrast was especially stark when her claws landed in his large hand.
I really want to bite her.
Bite her until she realizes her mistake.
"My lord, there's something I need to ask you. Do you still stand by your promises to me?"
Seeing that his gaze was fixed on the back of her hand, Xiao Tang felt uneasy, and her words were somewhat tentative.
His voice was neither warm nor cold, "Yes, I always keep my word."
"I see..." Xiao Tang immediately licked her lips, "So... does what you said back then, that you would give me a letter of divorce after I cured you of the poison, still stand?"
He paused in his grip on her small hand.
Suddenly, I looked up.
Dangerous look in his eyes.
His dark pupils were filled with unease and frustration.
He frowned.
In an instant, the atmosphere became extremely tense. "When did I ever promise you such a thing?"
That brat, she's thinking of breaking up with him after he confessed his feelings, doesn't she deserve a beating?
Xiao Tang's small mouth opened slightly.
[Oh my god~~ It seems like~~ He really never mentioned giving me a divorce letter in real life, no matter how coy or pretentious I was, no matter how disgusting my acting was, he! Never! Disliked me?!]
[It was something I dreamed about that day...]
Giao, how could I have made such a stupid mistake?
She was dumbfounded.
Because she wanted to suffocate.
Damn it, I mistook a dream for reality.
Faced with the man's questioning gaze, she immediately chuckled as if she were naive, lightly tapping his chest with her finger, intentionally or unintentionally.
"My lord, I only... I only wanted to test your sincerity, hehe."
"Isn't my sincerity enough for you?"
【enough!】
No, please don't be sincere with me!
Xiao Tang sighed, rubbing her forehead.
What should she say?
With her head bowed, she quickly composed herself and immediately looked up, "My lord, I was confused. Please don't take it to heart, sob sob sob."
Her tearful appearance was terribly heartbreaking.
He quickly looked away and said in a low voice, "I won't take it to heart."
"Waaaaah, that's good. My husband is the best."
"My husband is so good, how could I bear to part with him, would I?"
Sigh, to be honest, I'm actually a little... reluctant to part with it.
[Although I've escaped playing major villains and no longer need to act...]
But I also miss the villain's stunning good looks, and I also miss how he turned into a cute puppy when he was drunk.
I was filled with countless emotions.
Suddenly, a metallic sweet taste rose in my throat.
It felt like someone had suddenly shot her in the heart; it hurt!
It stings!
It also irritated my throat, causing that metallic sweetness to rush straight into my mouth, and then...
"Cough cough..."
Xiao Tang never expected that she would be poisoned at this moment!?
She covered her mouth, intending to stop coughing, but unexpectedly, she couldn't hold it in.
Blood seeped out between his fingers.
shocking.
Di Jingling's pupils contracted slightly, and he suddenly grabbed her hand. "What's going on?"
How did she... become poisoned?
The man was terrified.
Although he should have been pleasantly surprised, if it came at the cost of Xiao Tang's life, he would rather not have her like him!
Xiao Tang coughed twice more, then spoke weakly and with difficulty, "No, it's nothing, husband, don't worry..."
That being said, I don't know if I was trying to comfort him or just comforting myself.
A wave of dizziness washed over me.
His eyes rolled back, and finally he couldn't hold back any longer, collapsing to the ground.
The man reacted swiftly, grabbing her slender waist and pulling her into his arms.
He wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with his fingers, his eyes darkening to the extreme.
He instructed Yan Jiu: "Speed up!"
Yan Jiu didn't hear anything from inside the carriage, but he still sensed the anxiety in the Regent's tone.
For the prince to lose control of his emotions like this, something must have happened to the princess!
