"Zhai Xiying, drink the medicine!" Youruo held a bowl of medicinal soup in her hand and stretched it out in front of Zhai Xiying.

Zhai Xiying raised her eyebrows and looked at the dark purple concoction in You Ruo's hand, but did not reach out to hand it over.

Seeing that Zhai Xiying didn't respond, Youruo put the medicine bowl close to his thin lips and threatened: "If you don't drink it, the fire poison is not enough to attack your heart, so you might as well throw it away."

"Don't you know why I don't drink?" Zhai Xiying's deep frown showed his current worry.

After drinking the fire poison, Youruo had to apply acupuncture to Zhai Xiying all day long without stopping for a moment. Youruo could not remove the needles until the Gu Emperor had an attack and moved to the ice jade bed.

Plus... "Lu Youruo, can't you let Uncle Fan take action?" Zhai Xiying growled.

Uncle Fan stayed at Prince Ying's Mansion, and Youruo often discussed medical classics with him. In addition, Youruo did not restrict Uncle Fan's "freedom of life," so Uncle Fan would practice medicine for free in the capital under the name Yigu.

Youruo shook his head, "Uncle Fan will assist me. After the Gu Master who cast the poison on you arrives, I will return it to Uncle Fan."

Just last night, Master Qiu sent a letter saying that he would come to visit tomorrow. This was something that both Zhai Xiying and You Ruo had guessed. Master Qiu was the one who poisoned Zhai Xiying. If Zhai Xiying was still useful, he would definitely be there on the first night of the new year.

!

However, there is a sentence in the letter... Fortunately, King Ying has people with superb medical skills around him who can help King Ying...

When Zhai Xiying read that line of words, her whole heart suddenly tightened...Did Master Qiu discover something?

So Zhai Xiying is worried about Youruo's identity and that her skills will be discovered by the Gu Master! But that damn stinky woman doesn't think about herself at all and even rejected Zhai Xiying's proposal!

Youruo comforted Zhai Xiying helplessly: "Don't worry, the Gu Master won't come so soon. Uncle Fan is waiting outside. Don't you behave like a child?"

If she hadn't known that Zhai Xiying was good for her, You Ruo wouldn't have bothered to deal with the angry man.

There is a reason why Youruo can't give it all to Uncle Fan. How powerful is the poison of fire? Moreover, it is necessary to use acupuncture to control the poison of fire to attack the heart without breaking the heart. Uncle Fan has not mastered this skill yet, so leave it to Uncle Fan.

, isn’t it a gamble? You Ruo might as well go into battle by yourself.

Otherwise, Zhai Xiying would have died from the fire poison before being tortured to death by Gu Emperor!

"Let's do it this way. I'll do the acupuncture for a few weeks. Uncle Fan will remember it and I'll give you guidance. When the Gu master comes, I'll stand by silently." Youruo finally compromised.

But he still failed to meet Zhai Xiying's request, "No, you have to leave before Master Qiu comes!"

"..." The bowl of potion held by You Ruo no longer had the heat that it initially had.

Seeing that Youruo was unwilling, Zhai Xiying launched a fierce attack, "Lu Youruo, I have not forgotten that you have been looking forward to my death! Now that I am dead, I promise to let you go, so you don't need to work so hard!"

"..." Youruo stared at her beautiful eyes, feeling a sense of grievance that came from nowhere, making Youruo choke in her throat.

Seeing that Youruo was silent, Zhai Xiying continued to attack her heart, "Are you in love with me? Do you not want me to die?"

"Bah!" Youruo spat hard on Zhai Xiying's face, "Love you? I might as well love myself!"

"Very good." Zhai Xiying took the medicine bowl from Youruo's hand and drank it all in one gulp.

You Ruo stood by the bed and stared at Zhai Xiying, thinking about Zhai Xiying's question... Why did she want to save him? Why bother thinking of ways to extend his life?

Finally, he thought of a reason and told Zhai Xiying calmly, "We are just in a mutually beneficial relationship. I will protect your life and use you..."

Before Youruo could finish her words, Zhai Xiying blocked her mouth with her lips...
