next day
Wu Xia got dressed and was about to help Su Man get up when she was stopped by Nong Shuang, "Wu Xia, can we switch shifts today? I have something to do tonight and I want to work during the day."
Wu Xia was easy to talk to and agreed without even thinking, "Okay, but His Majesty has to go to the Imperial Hospital after court today, I'm afraid he'll be tired."
"It's okay. You've been accompanying me for the past two days. It's time for a change." Nong Shuang said understandingly.
"Then I'll have to trouble Sister Shuang."
...
In the inner hall, Su Man opened the bed curtains and saw Nong Shuang, and she knew that the matter was almost done. She did not show anything, and naturally asked Nong Shuang to change her clothes and put on makeup.
After the court session, Su Man took Nong Shuang to the Imperial Hospital.
The imperial physician had already prepared the medicine in the prescription overnight and said, "Your Majesty, you only need to take three doses of this medicine and it will be effective."
Su Man nodded, "Thank you, Imperial Physician. If Di Guijun recovers, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
After that, she tilted her head and ordered, "Nong Shuang, continue carefully."
Something flashed across Nong Shuang's eyes, but she still stepped forward and took the medicine.
Su Man was not worried that Nong Shuang would deliberately spill the medicine. One reason was that it would be too obvious, and the other was that even if she spilled the medicine, the imperial physician could boil another bowl.
So, when they arrived at Yangui Palace, the medicine was still good.
Su Man asked the palace people to leave as usual, but Nong Shuang beside her said considerately, "Your Majesty, this medicine is too hot. How about I carry it to you and feed it to you?"
“…”
Hearing Nong Shuang's voice, Di Zixiao immediately became alert.
After he was poisoned, he was almost certain that they were going to kill him to silence him. Now he finally had a chance of survival, and Nong Shuang unexpectedly appeared.
He deeply regretted not exposing them to Su Man and revealing Nong Shuang's true face. He prayed in his heart that Su Man would not let Nong Shuang stay here and would kick her out.
But this idea is obviously unrealistic. Nong Shuang is Su Man's personal maid, and Su Man has no suspicion of her.
Sure enough, the next second Su Man said, "In that case, you can stay here."
"yes."
The bitter medicine was poured into his mouth, and Di Zixiao used all his strength to control his throat to swallow it.
As long as he can wake up, he won't be controlled by others anymore. As long as he wakes up, he won't have to be afraid of anyone.
Spoon after spoon, soon, half a bowl of medicine was gone.
With about half an hour left, someone came from outside and said that General Hu wanted to see him about something important.
Su Man nodded, "I understand. Tell him to wait in the Qinzheng Hall. I'll be there soon."
Then, Su Man handed the bowl to Nong Shuang, "The imperial physician said to drink it while it's hot, you feed the rest."
"Yes, I obey your command."
...
Before leaving the inner hall, Su Man tilted her head slightly, but she did not stop and left the Yangui Hall without stopping.
It's not that she doesn't know that Nong Shuang wants to harm Di Zixiao. On the contrary, she wants Di Zixiao to know that Nong Shuang wants to kill him, and the person behind her wants to kill him.
Only in this way would he completely break with them and stand on her side.
Although Su Man was confident that Di Zixiao would fall in love with her after spending some time together, she could not feel at ease until she completely cut off his escape route.
At the same time, after Su Man left Yangui Hall, Nong Shuang sat in her seat and fed Di Zixiao medicine.
When the medicine in the bowl was almost gone, Nong Shuang put the bowl outside. She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she quietly took a handkerchief, wet it, and brought it in.
-
Outside the bedroom, the sun was shining brightly, but inside the bedroom, it was quiet.
Ever since Su Man left, Di Zixiao felt that all the pores on his body had opened up, goose bumps appeared one after another, and every minute and every second felt like a year.
Suddenly, his face felt cold, followed by a feeling of suffocation.
Nong Shuang pressed the handkerchief against Di Zixiao's face and held it tightly. Soon, the blue veins on Di Zixiao's neck burst out.
The current situation was too dire for her to make detailed plans. Her idea was simple: this medicine had just been developed by the Imperial Hospital, and no one knew its efficacy.
She could have suffocated Di Zixiao to death and then lied that Di Zixiao had difficulty breathing after drinking the medicine, leading to his death.
Although this method was direct, it was very effective. After all, Su Man didn't know her identity, and she didn't think she would intentionally harm Di Zixiao.
Thinking of this, Nong Shuang's hands became stronger and stronger, and her fingertips turned white.
Under such strong pressure, Di Zixiao couldn't breathe at all. His chest felt like it was about to explode and he was in danger of dying at any time.
At the critical moment, he found that his hands could suddenly move.
He couldn't care less and tried to lift his arm. His arm, which hadn't been used for a long time, was sore and painful, but he couldn't care less. His desire for life suddenly gave him a strange strength, and he pushed Nong Shuang away.
Nong Shuang was surprised to see Di Zixiao waking up at some point. After a brief moment of surprise, Nong Shuang realized that if Di Zixiao woke up now, she would definitely die.
With a fierce look on her face, she pounced on him again, and while Di Zixiao was unable to move, she suffocated him with the quilt.
Although Di Zixiao struggled with all his might, he had been ill for so long that he was definitely no match for a healthy person.
The feeling of suffocation swept over him again, and just when he thought he was going to die quietly, suddenly, he heard a muffled groan.
The force that was restraining him also disappeared, and the quilt on his head was lifted. An anxious voice followed, "Zi Xiao? How are you?"
...
Di Zixiao's vision was blurry because he hadn't seen the light for a long time.
