When Gu Shichong turned around, he saw Huo Wuyou frowning and staring blankly at the person on the bed.
Seeing this, Gu Shichong felt something was wrong, but he only said, "Wuyou, don't worry. The Empress Dowager and I are fine. We just accidentally injured one of our Master Attendants. The person who poisoned us is still unknown, but it won't be long before we find out."
But Huo Wuyou seemed not to hear his words at all. His eyes trembled as he looked at Xue Zhiyi, and he was confused and at a loss.
He was already furious with Gu Shichong, and now that this had happened, he wanted to go up and beat Gu Shichong up and throw him out.
His strange look made Gu Shichong suspicious, and he subconsciously turned around to look at Xue Zhiyi lying on the bed.
At this moment, Chai Yue hurried over with the imperial physician.
She grabbed Huo Wuyou who was about to go to Xue Zhiyi's bed. She looked at Huo Wuyou, whose fists were shaking, and then looked at Xue Zhiyi on the bed. She had some guesses in her mind.
She hurriedly reminded him, "My Lord, let the imperial physician take a look first!"
Huo Wuyou finally regained some of his rationality: "Hurry!"
The imperial physicians rushed forward, and only then did Gu Shichong stand up and stand a little further away.
The imperial physician only took the girl's pulse and quickly came to a conclusion: "Reporting to Prince Gong and Marquis Lin'an, this girl has indeed been poisoned, and it's a very serious poison. Fortunately, she didn't take much, so her life is not in danger. I will give her acupuncture to induce vomiting!"
As he said this, he asked Jingchun to help Xue Zhiyi sit up halfway and lift her wrist, so that the imperial physician could prick her Guannei acupoint.
Xue Zhiyi, who was originally unconscious, frowned and began to vomit uncontrollably. She didn't eat anything, but only vomited some bitter water.
Gu Shichong subconsciously looked away.
Seeing this, Chai Yue said, "Your Highness, Prince Gong, the Queen Mother and Prince Cheng are still in the main hall. We are watching over them. Would you mind going back to the main hall first?"
After hesitating for a moment and hearing Xue Zhiyi vomit, he said, "Take good care of him. I will not reduce my reward by a single cent."
After saying that, he left.
Even after hearing the doctor say that the poison was not life-threatening, Huo Wuyou still felt weak.
It's so scary.
Huo Wuyou's expression made Chai Yue, who was standing beside him, more certain of her suspicions. She hesitated and said, "My Lord, you..."
"I'm watching here." He interrupted Chai Yue.
Then he stepped forward and asked the imperial physician, "How long will it take to cure this poison?"
The imperial physician said, "The poisoning is not serious. I will give you a few doses of medicine. If you take it continuously for a month, the remaining poison will be cleared."
After the imperial physician had said this, he stood up and took his leave, then went downstairs to prepare the medicine.
Huo Wuyou also sat down on the edge of the bed. He stared at Xue Zhiyi's trembling eyelids for a moment, then said to Chai Yue, "Go and serve your grandmother first."
Chai Yue was stunned. Although she felt that it was inappropriate to leave them here alone, she still followed his instructions and went out, closing the door behind her.
As the door closed, Xue Zhiyi finally opened his eyes.
She only felt unbearable pain in her abdomen and throat, her head was dizzy and made her feel a little sleepy, and her stomach was still very uncomfortable.
But when he raised his eyes, he met Huo Wuyou's gaze, who was looking very angry. He saw that his eyes were a little red, and he seemed a little helpless in his anger.
"Where is the antidote for you?" Huo Wuyou asked her, his breathing still unstable.
Xue Zhiyi felt guilty, so he took out a porcelain bottle from under his pillow, poured out the pills inside, and put them into his mouth.
Just as I was about to get up, I suddenly felt weightless.
Huo Wuyou supported her back with his large palm and placed a soft pillow behind her.
After she sat down, he put on a gloomy face and poured her a glass of water.
Xue Zhiyi said nothing and drank it down in silence.
The dignified Marquis of Lin'an was actually serving her. What would happen if someone saw this?
She was still lost in her thoughts, but Huo Wuyou's expression became increasingly gloomy.
Xue Zhiyi coughed lightly and said, "Marquis Lin'an, please ask anything you want to ask."
Huo Wuyou just looked at her carefully, as if looking at some treasure that was about to fall and break.
He was indeed angry, so angry that his chest hurt.
But at this moment, looking at Xue Zhiyi's pale face, his words lingered on his lips for a moment, and then he asked: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Xue Zhiyi just shook his head: "After taking the antidote, I'm fine now. I don't feel too bad anymore."
Seeing that he still had a stern face, Xue Zhiyi smiled slowly: "Now that I have become Gu Shichong's savior, he should trust me. Next, we can..."
"Zhiyi, that's highly poisonous."
Before he could finish her words, Huo Wuyou couldn't help but warn her, "I warned you long ago that the poison will kill you in one shot."
"So I only took a small sip." Xue Zhiyi pretended to be relaxed and said, "I know my limits."
"You didn't." Huo Wuyou said, "If I had known you would put the poison in your own mouth, I would never have given it to you."
He was unusually serious, and looked at her very seriously when he spoke every word.
Xue Zhiyi's eyes moved slightly and he wanted to say something, but seeing Huo Wuyou's appearance at the moment, he felt a little reluctant.
She knew that Huo Wuyou had her in his heart, and he must be worried at this moment, and his words were full of concern. Although she had intended to use him at the beginning, it was still difficult for her to say anything cold to someone who cared about her.
"I just wanted to add another chip to our plan." She said, "I didn't tell you in advance. I was careless."
Blinking his sore eyes, Huo Wuyou asked her, "Have you ever thought that you might miscalculate and die from this poison?"
To be honest, I have thought about it.
But she has been to the underworld and is not afraid of gambling with her life.
