Yan Ningshuang looked at Xiao Jingyue for a long time, with fear and uneasiness in her eyes, but more of a sense of relief.
She took a few deep breaths, calmed herself down, and planned to ask someone to call a doctor to see Xiao Jingyue. Yan Ningshuang had heard before that even if a doctor came to see Xiao Jingyue, he would not be able to tell what the medicine she gave him was and would only treat it as a common fever.
However, after taking a look at Xiao Jingyue, Yan Ningshuang gritted her teeth and put his clothes on first. Otherwise, with Xiao Jingyue's naked appearance, anyone could guess what happened between them last night. For Yan Ningshuang, giving herself to Xiao Jingyue was the greatest humiliation of her life.
When the doctor was invited, Yan Ningshuang was still a little nervous. The doctors in the Yanbei Palace were not ordinary people. Yan Ningshuang was afraid that something would be discovered. Fortunately, after the doctor took Xiao Jingyue's pulse, he determined that Xiao Jingyue had caught a cold and had a high fever.
Yan Ningshuang breathed a sigh of relief, and her Chinese medicine doctor was unconsciously sweating. After sending all the outsiders away, Yan Ningshuang finally collapsed in the chair. She glanced in the direction of the bed, and ultimately did not want to get even a little closer to Xiao Jingyue.
Not long after, the maid brought in the medicine. Yan Ningshuang took the medicine bowl personally and sent the maid down to get honey. She stared at Xiao Jingyue lying on the bed from a distance for a long time, gritted her teeth, took out the porcelain bottle, and added the poison she had asked for from Zhao Yingqiu into Xiao Jingyue's medicine bowl.
When the maid returned with the honey, Yan Ningshuang handed the medicine bowl to her and asked her to feed Xiao Jingyue the medicine. She herself stayed away from the bed from beginning to end.
After the maid finished feeding Xiao Jingyue the medicine, Yan Ningshuang looked at the sky outside. It should be almost noon, and Xiao Jingxi should be leaving the Yanbei Palace in a few hours. Xiao Jingyue had received a secret order from the court to kill Xiao Jingxi on his way to Wuzhou. Now that Xiao Jingyue had been drugged, he was naturally unable to carry out the order. The Empress Dowager was far away in the capital, so Lin Shi could not send someone to rob and kill Xiao Jingxi. Xiao Jingxi would be safe on this journey.
At the thought of this, Yan Ningshuang's heart swelled, and the guilt she felt for wanting to kill someone was alleviated. As long as Xiao Jingxi was safe, she didn't mind getting her hands stained with blood for him. Besides, a shameless person like Xiao Jingyue simply didn't deserve to live in this world. Yan Ningshuang glanced at the purple rain mark on her wrist and pushed aside the slightest bit of reluctance in her heart.
Yan Ningshuang wanted to go see Xiao Jingxi off in person and tell him that she had helped him solve his biggest problem. However, thinking of the bruises on her neck and hands that could not be covered up, Yan Ningshuang did not go out. She just asked her maid to deliver a letter to Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi received a letter from Yan Ningshuang and was stunned when he saw the words "The trouble has been resolved, Xiao Lang, don't worry." He frowned and asked someone to inquire about it, only to find out that Xiao Jingyue had suddenly developed a high fever and was unable to get out of bed.
When Xiao Jingxi came over, Ren Yaoqi told him about this matter. Xiao Jingxi frowned but didn't say anything.
Ren Yaoqi thought about it and warned, "I always feel that things are not that simple. You should not let your guard down along the way and be on guard."
Xiao Jingxi's brows relaxed, and he looked down at Ren Yaoqi for a moment. Then he solemnly kissed her forehead, as if making some kind of promise: "Don't worry. I cherish my life very much."
Although Ren Yaoqi was very worried about Xiao Jingxi's safety, she also knew that she could not stop the man from making his decision, so she did not say anything to keep him, but just stepped forward and hugged Xiao Jingxi.
Xiao Jingxi stared at Ren Yaoqi, who was lying in his arms and more obedient than usual. After a moment of hesitation, his heart softened. He deliberately smiled and jokingly whispered in her ear, "Are you so reluctant to let me go? Then why don't you take the initiative to kiss me and let me feel your sincerity?"
Xiao Jingxi's words were just a joke, but as soon as he finished speaking, he felt something soft and wet covering his lips. Although he could still feel that the lips were still trembling, it was warm enough that he couldn't refuse. Xiao Jingxi's heart was pounding, and then he held Ren Yaoqi's head and deepened the kiss.
When their lips parted, Xiao Jingxi gently stroked Ren Yaoqi's soft lips with his thumb.
