Rong Ruo, oblivious to Yuan Zhao's strange gaze, spoke calmly:
"A poison was added to it. It wouldn't be immediately fatal, but it would gradually weaken the person, and the doctor wouldn't be able to find anything wrong. Eventually, the person would weaken to death."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao's expression changed, and she gripped the sachet in her hand tightly.
She had done so much recently, and she knew the Zhou family wouldn't let it go easily, but she didn't expect them to act so quickly, let alone use such methods.
She opened the sachet and looked inside, but found nothing amiss.
If it weren't for Rong Ruo, she would probably have been tricked by someone today.
"You have people around you who understand drugs, yet you don't know how to use them. You're incredibly stupid!"
Rong Ruo said with disdain.
In just two days, he had thoroughly investigated the background of that Jinzhu.
Although it was not as good as the rime ice around him, he was still considered a master of poison.
However, Yuan Zhao was oblivious to the wealth he possessed and simply kept her by his side. Even though she knew about the golden pearl's abilities, she was too embarrassed to speak up, which he found incredibly foolish.
After hearing what he said, Yuan Zhao realized that he had handled the matter poorly.
At the time, she kept Jinzhu only because she didn't want her to be used by Bai Mianmian. She also wanted Jinzhu to help her with small favors occasionally, but she didn't really intend to treat Jinzhu as her subordinate.
She felt uneasy that she was being asked to risk her life for only two steamed buns.
However, now that Rong Ruo has pointed it out, she realizes that she was wrong.
"Thank you for your guidance, Supervisor!"
Yuan Zhao looked at Rong Ruo earnestly and thanked her.
Seeing the undisguised gratitude in her eyes, Rong Ruo turned his head away and said calmly:
"If you want to die, you can tell me, and I can grant your wish, so that you won't die at someone else's hands."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao couldn't help but laugh and say:
"Thank you, Your Excellency. However, I wish to live, to live a good life."
Only after experiencing a brush with death can one so desperately desire to live.
She wanted to see everyone in the Zhou family get their comeuppance, she wanted to see the Yuan family prosper, she wanted to see her eldest sister-in-law give birth and her second brother get married, and she wanted to fulfill her filial duty to her father.
At that moment, she radiated vitality and anticipation, making her seem to glow.
Rong Ruo looked at it for a while, then lowered his eyes and said:
"If you want to live, then don't be so stupid."
...
Perhaps Rong Ruo had used up enough of her blood yesterday, because today, he did not touch her, but he was still cold beside her.
It's already springtime, and Yuan Zhao can't even imagine how he spent the dead of winter.
Who could have imagined that Rong Ruo, who held immense power and was invincible, would be poisoned by such a rare poison? He never showed any signs of illness in public, and even when he was freezing cold, he still endured it.
How long has he lived like this? More than three years, right?
How did he get poisoned?
Yuan Zhao thought about many things, and in the end, she didn't even know how she fell asleep in this cold place.
Unbeknownst to her, once her breathing had calmed down, Rong Ruo subtly moved closer to her.
In the past few days, he has discovered that even without using her blood, just being by her side makes his condition much better.
Even the rime ice doesn't know why.
Wusong only knew that her blood was special and seemed to be able to cure many poisons, but she didn't know why.
He was also very curious as to why the eldest daughter of the prestigious Yuan family had such a peculiar body.
Moreover, he was extremely curious about her so-called "dream".
As he pondered these things, Rong Ruo felt his body gradually warming up and slowly drifted off to sleep.
