At this moment, his hand holding the hilt of the knife was shaking violently. If it weren't for that last bit of willpower controlling him, he would have fallen down by now.
Murong Xiao quickly rushed to Qian Yeming, reached out and held his big hand that was tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, trying to make him relax.
The moment she held him, she could feel his body tremble violently.
"Gather your inner strength and eat this, and the pain will go away."
During the period of poisoning, you cannot use internal force. Otherwise, the more internal force you use and the longer it lasts, the more corrosive the poison will be and the greater the damage to your body will be.
Murong Xiao didn't have that much time to explain to him, so he could only briefly ask him to do two urgent things.
Qian Yeming, struggling to hold on, thought he would capsize in the gutter today and die. Even if he managed to survive, he would definitely be exposed. But after holding on for a long time, he didn't get the expected counterattack.
The next moment, when a small hand held his hand, an indescribable warmth instantly spread throughout his body.
Qian Yeming raised his head and looked at the man in black who was almost killed by him.
Eyebrows like black ink, eyes as charming as silk, eyes as bright as stars, full of...
Anxiety and heartache?!
Qian Yeming frowned slightly. How is this possible?!
"It's you?! Ahem..."
Qian Yeming had just said two words when the poison took effect again and he coughed up a pool of blood.
To prevent Murong Qingyu's secret guards outside the door from hearing, Murong Xiao quickly covered Qian Yeming's lips, and then patted his back to help him calm down.
Smelling the faint orchid fragrance emanating from Murong Xiao, Qian Yeming felt his lungs soaked with a refreshing sensation. Seeing that the woman didn't care about the blood on her lips at all and just covered his lips like that, Qian Yeming's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
He recognized this woman. The figure standing in the moonlight just now, like a fairy from the Jade Terrace, was her.
Although he didn't understand why the woman had changed her clothes in such a short time, with her hair tied up high and a black scarf covering her face, he could guarantee that the woman in black was her, not someone else who looked like her!
"Don't talk, just listen to me, quickly gather your inner strength, meditate, and relax."
Qian Yeming glanced at Murong Xiao again. Although he didn't know who this woman was or why she wanted to help him, seeing the undisguised worry in her eyes, he was willing to believe her. And at this moment, he had no other choice but to trust her.
Although this inexplicable trust came very strangely and suddenly, he liked it.
He sat cross-legged obediently, and a pill appeared in front of him.
"Take this. It's not an antidote, but it will protect you from further attacks of the poison within the next twelve hours in the Marshal's Mansion."
The pill was placed next to his lips. If someone else gave him such a pill, he would never eat it.
He understood the principle that "those who offer gifts without cause are either treacherous or thieves." He also understood the principle that if such a pill were taken and used by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences would be disastrous.
But he still opened his mouth and let the other party feed the pill into his mouth.
Staring deeply at the woman in front of him, Qian Yeming had a desire to see through her.
Who was this woman, this woman living in the Marshal's Mansion? Why was she so worried about him? And why did he trust her so inexplicably?
Originally Murong Xiao had prepared a lot of arguments to persuade him to take the antidote.
