Han Lingxi felt her heart sink; it turned out she had ingested all that poison.
However, Song Qingyuan's explanation put Han Lingxi at ease.
"This medicine has no effect on people without martial arts skills. After the wet nurse drinks the medicine, her milk will be poisoned, and the kitten's body will also be affected by the medicine, which will be excreted through sweat. Your Highness often holds the cat, so you will be affected."
Upon hearing Song Qingyuan's words, Han Lingxi immediately climbed out of Baili Lingxiang's arms and fell to the ground. Fortunately, Baili Lingxiang was sitting; if he had been standing, Han Lingxi would probably have been seriously injured.
"Ding! Affection +5, total affection 70."
Baili Lingxiang was touched. When Xi'er heard that holding it would cause poisoning, she immediately jumped away, probably because she was afraid he would be poisoned.
Baili Lingxiang picked up Han Lingxi, who had fallen to the ground, with a pained expression. Han Lingxi struggled a few times but couldn't break free. Only when she heard Baili Lingxiang say, "You'll be alright," did she stop struggling.
“Go on.”
Seeing that Han Lingxi had calmed down, Baili Lingxiang spoke to Song Qingyuan.
"Although this method is not easy to detect, it takes effect very slowly because the amount of poison is too small. This woman should have poisoned you no more than five or six days ago, so Your Highness does not need to worry about being poisoned."
Song Qingyuan spoke slowly and deliberately. Han Lingxi looked at him resentfully and said, "Couldn't you have spoken faster? You made me fall down."
Han Lingxi suddenly remembered something from her past life. After the original owner stayed in the manor for two years, Baili Lingxiang suddenly fell ill. Song Qingyuan said that Baili Lingxiang had been poisoned. At that time, the original owner no longer needed to drink milk, so the wet nurse left under the pretext of returning to her hometown. They searched the entire manor but could not find the cause of Baili Lingxiang's poisoning. Song Qingyuan suggested that it might be because of the original owner, but at that time, there was no poison in the original owner's body, so there was no way to prove it.
Baili Lingxiang did not get rid of the original owner because of Song Qingyuan's words, but continued to keep him by his side. Now that I think about it, even if Baili Lingxiang did nothing, he must have harbored resentment.
Han Lingxi couldn't help but reflect on herself, realizing how careless she had been. She had assumed that what happened two years later would naturally be dealt with two years later, but she had forgotten how meticulous the people who planned it were. If she hadn't stumbled upon it by accident, things would probably have followed the same course as in her previous life, and she might not have been able to complete the mission.
We must not let our guard down just because the mission was completed easily; we must remain vigilant from now on.
After finishing his business, Baili Lingxiang carried Han Lingxi back to her bedchamber and washed her dirty paws clean.
Han Lingxi remained motionless as Baili Lingxiang washed her paws, wondering if she was really that disliked. She hurriedly ran back to clean them for him.
After washing, Baili Lingxiang took out a bottle of ointment and carefully applied it to Han Lingxi's paws.
Han Lingxi stared at Baili Lingxiang for a moment, realizing that he had noticed her scratched paw while digging and that's why he had carried her. Actually, her paw wasn't badly injured; it was just that she was still young and delicate, and a small stone had scratched it. Baili Lingxiang had rushed back to apply medicine as soon as he finished treating it. He truly was her lover. She felt like she liked him even more now.
The next moment, Baili Lingxiang's words burst Han Lingxi's bubble of love.
"You can't leave the house until your injuries have healed, or you won't get any food."
Han Lingxi's eyes welled up with tears. She was a lively and adorable cat; she needed the freedom to roam.
