"Relax. This is the antidote you paid any price for." Si Que paused, "My guest."
He looked at You Yuji's pale face, loosened his grip, handed her the pill, and said, "Then you do it yourself."
You Yuji raised her hand with great effort to take the pill, but her hand had no strength at all, and she watched helplessly as the pill slipped from her fingertips and fell to the ground. She opened her mouth, but it felt like a stone was pressing on her throat, and she couldn't make a sound.
Si Que followed the pill with his eyes, watching it fall from her fingertips and roll into the crack of the stone bed after landing. He looked up at You Yuji again and was surprised to see her eyes were red.
Si Que turned around, poured out another pill from the medicine bottle on the table, and returned to the stone bed. This time, he successfully put the pill in.
He looked at You Yuji, she had her eyes downcast, not much emotion visible between her eyebrows.
Soon, You Yuji's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she lay down helplessly. In her last consciousness, she tilted her head slightly and looked at the inside of the stone bed. She saw Baisui lying on her skirt and pants, sleeping heartlessly. Her fingertips trembled, and she wanted to pull up her skirt and pants to cover up the empty mess. However, she was powerless to do so, and could only watch the skirt and pants close at hand but could not pull them over.
You Yuji closed her eyes and gradually fell into a semi-comatose state as her consciousness slowly faded away. Sometimes she felt like she was walking into a misty dream, trapped there with no way out. Sometimes she was tortured by the poison spots on her body and felt unbearable pain.
Most of the time she lay there quietly. Although she was powerless to open her eyes, she could hear the subtle sounds around her. She would hear Du Lou's footsteps and Bai Sui's meows. Bai Sui's occasional calls comforted her and let her know that Bai Sui was fine.
She could feel Baisui leaning against her hand and rubbing against her, and she could also clearly feel the owner of the Poison Tower lifting her legs and stuffing her with medicine every once in a while.
I feel embarrassed in this foggy predicament where I have no control over myself.
Later, she could barely open her eyes.
The light in the jade room below was not very bright, and it was difficult to tell the time, nor did I know whether it was day or night outside.
A blood-red mask appeared in sight, but You Yuji closed his eyes powerlessly again.
The pain and torture from the poison spots on my body are gradually subsiding.
Once she opened her eyes and reluctantly turned her head to look at the table and chairs not far away, and saw the owner of the Poison Building with his back to her, lying on the table and seemed to be asleep. Baisui was lying beside the owner of the Poison Building, sweeping his black tail lightly.
You Yuji wanted to hold Baisui in her arms and scold it to stay away from the owner of the Poison Tower. The moment she closed her eyes, You Yuji regretted not listening to Madam Jing's advice and sending someone to send Baisui back...
This time, when You Yuji woke up again, she clearly felt the changes in her body, which was not as heavy as before. She opened her eyes and saw Baisui sitting beside her, biting her silk handkerchief.
She tried to sit up with all her strength, and she was able to slowly sit up. She looked down at her lower body and found that her own cotton cloak was covering her.
She immediately looked around the room and did not see the owner of the Poison Building. She lowered her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
Her legs felt heavy; Baisui had jumped onto her legs.
You Yuji lowered her eyes to look at it, and touched its head with her hand. She saw that her fingertips were still trembling slightly. She pushed the sleeves with her shaking hands, frowned and looked at the red spots on her forearms. She then lifted the cotton cloak covering her body and looked at her legs. Her legs were also in the same condition as her forearms.
The door creaked open, and You Yuji hurriedly covered herself with her cotton cloak with shaking hands. She turned to look at the owner of the Poison Building who came in, and her usually gentle eyes and eyebrows were filled with anger and more defensiveness.
Si Que glanced at her without saying anything. He walked straight to the square table and sat down with his back to You Yuzhi.
You Yuji pursed her lips, weakly pinched the cotton cloak on her body, and fixed her eyes on his back. During the time when she was tied up and semi-conscious, her senses were very clear.
He pinched the pill with his long fingers and inserted it twelve times in total.
After a long time, You Yuji seemed to lose her temper and slowly lowered her eyes. The hand that was tightly holding the cotton cloak slowly loosened. She looked at her still trembling white fingertips and said to herself in her heart -
You Yuji, don't be an unreasonable person. He is the doctor and she is the patient. Before life and death, why bother with trivial matters.
Baisui stood up, retracted his sharp claws, raised one of his little paws and patted You Yuji's shoulder.
You Yuji bit her lip and endured the wetness in the corners of her eyes. She took a long breath and swallowed the grievance. She raised her eyes again, looked at the dark and slender figure, and said weakly: "Thank you."
Si Que paused while fiddling with the medicine bottle, and suddenly turned his chair to face You Yuji. The chair skidded across the ground, making a loud and unpleasant noise.
A strange atmosphere spread.
You Yuji didn't understand why the owner of the Poison Tower suddenly became angry.
She reflected, could it be that she accidentally knocked over the poison on the shelf, causing such troublesome consequences and making him unhappy
Her mind was racing, but she didn't dare to speak rashly.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a moment, and she saw the owner of the Poison Building turned around again.
Si Que poured a glass of water, stood up and walked towards You Yuzhi, handing her the water.
You Yuji was indeed thirsty and raised her hand to take it. She held the cup with both hands. Although she tried to control herself, her hands were still shaking. She had to use more force to avoid spilling the water.
Si Que held her hand and placed it on the back of her hand, helping her hold the cup steady and feeding her to drink slowly.
Perhaps because he had just handled a lot of poisons and washed his hands repeatedly, his hands smelled a bit like soapberries and there was a hint of heat in his palms.
You Yuji didn't dare to look at the two people's entangled hands. She drank the water hurriedly with her eyes half closed.
He loosened his grip and took the empty cup away. Feeling the burning sensation on the back of his hand, You Yuji breathed a sigh of relief and whispered again, "Thank you..."
The owner of the Poison Building had turned around and walked back to the table, placing the glass of water heavily on the table.
Obviously, she didn't want to deal with this person at all, but You Yuji had to bite the bullet and said, "I... How long have I been unconscious?"
The other party did not answer immediately.
Just when You Yuji thought he would ignore her, he spoke hoarsely: "One day."
One day? Only one day? You Yuji was surprised. She thought she had been unconscious for a long time. She suddenly thought of the twelve times she put the medicine.
Twelve times a day, does that mean the medicine is administered once every hour
Doesn’t that mean the owner of the Poison Tower hasn’t slept well for a whole day and night
You Yuji quietly raised her eyes and secretly looked at the owner of the Poison Tower who was sitting not far away.
The owner of the Poison House suddenly stood up, which scared her. Before she could look away, she saw him stand sideways and pour out a tablet of medicine from the medicine bottle into his palm.
When she saw the white medicine, You Yuji's face turned pale and her whole body tensed up.
On the third day, You Yuji was no longer so weak and could get out of bed and walk freely. Her hands no longer trembled.
She was finally able to walk out of the jade room and looked at Zhuo Wen and the two guards with a worried look on her face.
—They are still in a coma.
Even Zhan Xue remained lying unconscious on the table.
Apparently, the owner of the Poison Building was too lazy to care about them these days.
You Yu hurried over to check and was relieved to know that they were still alive. She turned back to the Jade Room and did not approach the owner of the Poison Tower. She stayed far away and asked softly, "Can you save them?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her expression changed instantly and she shouted anxiously: "Be careful! That spider is next to you!"
Si Que looked over and saw the red spider crawling up the wall. He reached out his hand expressionlessly and caught the spider in his hand. Then he walked out of the jade room, stuffed the red spider back into Zhan Xue's gourd, and casually placed the gourd on the table.
You Yuji looked at this scene in disbelief and whispered: "Why aren't you afraid of this spider?"
"It doesn't have any of my poison in it."
You Yuji was stunned.
When Si Que passed by You Yuji, You Yuji subconsciously took a step back.
Si Que suddenly found it a little funny. Was she avoiding him like this because she was worried that he was full of poison? Oh, why was she hiding? There was nothing on his body that she hadn't played with before.
Si Que stopped and glanced at her.
You Yuji naturally had no idea what he was thinking, and was still worried about the safety of Zhuo Wen and the two guards.
Si Que walked to the table and sorted out his things while explaining, "That kind of spider is called a sleeping spider. After being bitten, it will fall into a deep sleep for seven days. That's all."
While You Yuji breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart at the magic of poisons in this world.
"When the imperial court came after us, your men drove the carriage away." Si Que poured the white pills into the bottle with a rustling sound, "They went to the You family."
You Yuji frowned. After all, Madam Jing had worked for her for a long time, and she figured out Madam Jing's intentions after a little thought. Something happened in the Poison House, and Madam Jing couldn't see her, so she must have driven the carriage back to the You family first and announced to the public that she had returned to the You family.
Then, You Yuzhi suddenly thought of another thing.
Zhuo Wen will be in a coma for another four days. Does that mean she will have to stay here with the owner of the Poison Building for the next four days? This thought made her feel uncomfortable.
Si Que saw through her worries at a glance.
"I'll take you back to the You family now." He smiled slowly under the blood-red mask, "My guest."
"Leaving now?" You Yuji raised her eyes, surprise instantly appearing in her eyes.
Si Que glanced at the stone bed and laughed softly through his throat, which had been burned by fire: "Put on your pants, and we'll set off."
The smile in You Yuji's eyes froze and her face suddenly turned red.
She was wearing a skirt, but she had not worn her inner hakama for the convenience of applying medicine frequently. She hurried to the stone bed, pushed away Baisui who was sleeping with her pants in his arms, and hurriedly put her clothes in order.
"Then my subordinates..."
“When they wake up, the people in the Poison Building will send them back to the You family.”
You Yuji avoided looking at the owner of the Poison Tower, nodded randomly, and thanked him again in a low voice.
"The fourteenth time." Si Que said to himself.
—This was the fourteenth time that You Yuji thanked him in the past three days.
You Yuji didn't know what the owner of the Poison Tower meant. She held Baisui in her arms, hesitated for a long time, and then whispered: "Medicine..."
A bottle of medicine was thrown over and You Yuji hurriedly took it, but it was not the medicine she had used in the past three days.
"Put one in the water every night when you bathe, and you will be cured in seven days."
"Thank you very much."
The fifteenth time.
Si Que walked out.
You Yuji put away the medicine and hurried after him, holding Baisui in her arms. She did not dare to get too close to the owner of the Poison House and kept a distance of three steps.
As he walked upstairs, You Yuji couldn't help but want to turn back. What if people from the imperial court were still watching him
However, as soon as she reached the next floor, she knew the answer.
The owner of the Poison Building took her to another road. The stone door was pushed open. You Yuji looked at Merlin outside and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say it was a dead end?"
She heard a strange hoarse laugh. Then she heard him say, "Do you believe what a man says?"
You Yuji was stunned, and froze in place for a moment before quickly chasing after the owner of the Poison Tower. However, she was still weak, having just walked a long way, and her legs became weak after a few quick steps, and she fell limply onto the dead leaves, the cool breeze blowing on her face, ruffling her slightly messy hair.
When the owner of the Poison Tower reached out his hand, You Yuji subconsciously avoided it and even looked away.
—She didn't dare look at his hands as it would bring back memories of her coma.
The next moment, her body was suddenly suspended in the air and picked up horizontally.
You Yuji tensed up instantly.
