Si Que took You Yuji to a more secluded road. After all, they had to pass through some streets. He pulled You Yuji's hood and said, "Keep your face away."
It would not be good for others to see her riding a horse with someone else like this. Besides, others did not know what Qian Sou San was, and seeing the current state of her face, they might misunderstand that she had some kind of disease.
How to avoid the face
Fortunately, she was sitting sideways. You Yuji tilted her body and lowered her head. If there were people on the road, she would bite the bullet and try her best to hide her face in the arms of the owner of the Poison Tower.
Even with this hidden action, she kept a distance from the owner of the Poison Building and didn't really stick to him. When the street scene receded, the only thing she could see was the dark color of his clothes.
The smell of his medicine was very sticky, mixed with a hint of blood.
The sun gradually sets in the west, and everything in the world is covered with a hazy yet warm halo.
The owner of the Poison House suddenly turned his head and coughed. Through the mask, even his cough sounded muffled. You Yuji looked up in surprise. The blood-red mask covered his face, so she naturally knew nothing about his situation. When she looked away, she couldn't help but take another look at his neck.
He didn't even have an Adam's apple.
All men in the world have Adam's apples, but some are born with subtle Adam's apples. You Yuji thought about it and thought that Ah Que was like that.
I didn't expect the owner of the Poison Building to be like this too.
Si Que took You Yuji back through the back door of the You family's house. No one lived behind the You family's house, so the back door was naturally deserted and there were not many people.
"We're here..." You Yuji curled her eyes. She felt like she had experienced a catastrophe of life and death, and now after the storm, home was right in front of her. A tender joy emerged in her heart.
She slipped and jumped off the horse. But she was still weak, and her legs couldn't help but bend as soon as her feet touched the ground.
Si Que reached out and gave him a hand.
You Yuji took a step to the side, avoiding the hand of the Poison Tower Master that was on her waist.
She lowered her eyes and said softly, "Thank you very much for this time, host. I'm sorry to trouble you..."
As she said this, she couldn't help but think of the embarrassing situation of the past three days, and she couldn't help but tighten her hand around Baisui. But she was not an unreasonable person. Although she was infected with the poison in the poison building, it was indeed she who accidentally knocked over the bottle of disgusting poison...
There is no one to blame, no one to be annoyed with.
Instead, she wanted to thank him for taking care of her. She recalled that whenever she woke up in the past three days, she could see him busy at work. She recalled that when she was unconscious, he wiped her sweat with a towel. Even when she was weak, he fed her porridge one spoonful at a time...
The corners of her eyes were slightly red, and she felt mixed emotions for a moment and couldn't tell what she felt. She felt ashamed and angry, but there was no one to be angry at, so she could only be angry at her own recklessness. She just softly repeated: "Thank you..."
"The eighteenth time."
You Yuji frowned, and finally understood what he was talking about. It turned out that the words he said from time to time these days were counting how many times she thanked him
You Yuji was stunned.
She glanced at him secretly, then quickly looked away. She thought to herself that the owner of the Poison House didn't seem as scary as the rumors said.
It seemed like she should turn around and go home right now, but her feet froze in place. She felt like she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.
Si Que sat on the horseback and looked at the worry between her eyebrows. He said, "She will be healed in seven days. All the red spots will disappear. Don't worry."
You Yuji nodded.
"The fake death medicine will be delivered to you in a month."
You Yuji nodded again. She still held the cat in her arms, stood there with her head down, and did not turn around.
Si Que stopped talking and just looked at her quietly.
You Yuji finally remembered what she had forgotten.
"Um... You haven't told me the price of the antidote yet. I'll give it to you together with the fake death drug next time you come to deliver it?"
Si Que hummed and said, "Just owe it for now."
"This..." You Yuji wanted to say, isn't this a bad idea? But she couldn't stand the two of them being alone together any longer, so she nodded randomly and turned to go home.
She walked quickly to the back door of her house and knocked gently. Soon the servant came to open the door, and when he saw that it was her, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly opened the door for her to enter.
You Yuji hurriedly stepped into the threshold and couldn't help looking back.
The courtyard gate gradually closed, and the tall figure on horseback in the distance gradually disappeared from sight.
Si Que also watched the door slowly close, and he could no longer see the purple figure. He muttered to himself slowly, "What a harm... a vixen."
Si Que turned his horse around and walked away. He abandoned his horse and used a dagger to cut open his palm. The scars on his body always faded quickly. The wound on his palm last time had not healed completely, and another bloody cut appeared.
Thick black blood fell drop by drop, and the pain in the body was temporarily relieved.
It would be dark soon and everything would come to rest. However, he could not rest yet, he had to go to the palace.
The fake-death drug was indeed something he made himself a few years ago for fun.
But, he deceived You Yuji again.
The production of fake death medicine is somewhat complicated, not to mention that the materials are hard to find and handle, so it is impossible to make fake death medicine in a month.
Since you can't refine it, just rob it.
There are still two fake death pills circulating in the world, one of which is in the palace.
Si Que looked at the small pool of black blood dripping at his feet and suddenly smiled.
"Look how good this princess is to you. When I die, you will have to shed a few more tears."
Madam Jing had been terrified for three days, and finally she was relieved to see You Yuji coming back. After hearing the news from the maid, she ran to see You Yuji and almost fell on the way.
"Oh my God, what's wrong with your face!" Madam Jing's eyes were red. It was obvious that she not only couldn't sleep at night in the past few days, but also cried secretly.
"It's okay. I accidentally got contaminated with some poison from the Poison Building. I'll be fine in a few days." You Yuzhi smiled gently.
I was obviously afraid at first, but when I saw the worried expressions on the faces of people who cared about me, I was no longer afraid.
"That's good, that's good!" Madam Jing said several times.
You Yuji hurriedly asked the anxious question: "No one knows that I'm missing, right?"
"Madam, don't worry. No one knows! That day we stopped in a distant street and saw from afar that many soldiers were coming to surround the poison house. I left two people to watch in the dark and immediately asked the driver to drive back to You's house in a swaggering manner. We only told the public that Madam was going home to take care of her mother." Madam Jing sighed, "Originally, I was worried that if the prince came after us and I couldn't see him, how would I get away with it? But the prince didn't come. It was just that the princess asked Nanny Gu to come over. I said that you went to the Zhao family as a guest and dealt with it."
You Yuji nodded with a smile: "I am always at ease with your work."
Not long after, You Jiamu got the news and rushed home. He was also shocked when he saw the red spots on You Yuji's face. You Yuji explained it to him carefully, and the child was relieved.
He sat next to You Yuji and said in a muffled voice, "Sister, you've lost weight again."
You Yuzhi touched his head, smiled and said no.
Aunt Liu said, "It's good that you're back. We can talk tomorrow if we have anything to say. You look tired. You should rest early."
Several other people followed suit.
Madam Liu quickly asked the maid to bring dinner. You Yuji was still weak and didn't want to eat anything greasy, so she only asked the maid to serve her a small bowl of porridge.
She held the porcelain spoon and took a mouthful of the porridge. Somehow, she suddenly remembered the porridge that the owner of the Poison Tower fed her one spoonful after another in the dim jade room.
"Sister, why don't you eat?" You Jiamu looked at me with worry in his eyes.
You Yuji smiled gently, put away her thoughts and stopped thinking about the past few days, and ate the porridge. After a simple dinner, You Yuji asked the maid to prepare the bath water, and specifically asked that only water was needed, no milk was needed.
She took out the medicine she had carefully stored in her sleeve, poured a pill into the water, and then sat in the hot water. She hadn't had a comfortable bath for three days, and the warm water wrapped around her tired body, and a sense of comfort spread slowly.
That night, You Yuji did not curl up beside her mother as usual, but slept on her own bed. The word "home" seemed to have some kind of magic that made people feel unusually at ease.
You Yuji slept very deeply and for a long time.
In the next few days, You Yuji stayed at You's house and followed the instructions of the owner of the Poison Tower. She added medicine to her bath water before going to bed every day and slept soundly at night.
She woke up and looked in the mirror, watching the red spots on her face and body gradually fade away.
On the fourth day after returning home, Zhuo Wen and his two guards were indeed sent back by the people from the Poison Tower.
You Yuji smiled and said, "I'm glad to know that you are all right."
Zhuo Wen felt guilty: "It was all because of my carelessness that I was bitten by the spider!"
"It's all over." You Yuzhi said softly.
She slowly lowered her long eyelashes, her eyes fell on the red spots on the back of her hand that were almost disappearing, and she thought that if she had a choice, she would rather be bitten by a spider like Zhuo Wen and the others, rather than knocking over the bottle of poison.
Three days later, the last pill in the medicine bottle was about to be used up, and it was the deadline given by the owner of the Poison House. When You Yuji woke up the next day, all the red spots on her body had disappeared without a trace.
You Yuji had to return to the Jinnan Palace.
"Sister, I really don't want you to leave." You Jiamu said with a gloomy face.
Jiamu was still young, and You Yuji was reluctant to tell her her plan. You Yuji bent down and looked him in the eye: "Wait a little longer. Sister will come back."
You Jiamu forced a smile and nodded. He also had a plan to save his sister, but he was not sure yet, so he did not want to tell his sister now.
It was already afternoon when You Yuzhi returned to the Jinnan Palace.
She returned to Tanxiang Yingyue and heard the sound of a zither coming from afar. She listened carefully for a few words and was sure that it was Si Que playing the zither.
Upon learning that she was back, Zhenxu and Baohe hurried over to greet her. Madam Jing gave them some cakes she had brought back from the You family.
You Yuji asked them to walk lightly.
She walked forward with light steps, not wanting to disturb Si Que from playing the piano.
Bao He winked at the pillow, and when they were alone, she couldn't help saying, "Madam, go home for a few days, and as soon as you come back, go see the princess!"
Zhenxu ignored her and went to serve tea.
You Yuji stood in the courtyard, looking at Si Que who was sitting by the window playing the zither. After the last sentence came to an end and the lingering sound faded away, she smiled and stepped into the house.
"Sister is finally back." Si Que raised his eyes and looked at her with clear and bright eyes.
You Yuji suddenly realized that she had told him that she would be back on the day she left. She opened her mouth but didn't know how to explain.
Si Que turned his wheelchair slightly and faced You Yuji.
You Yuji walked towards him, and just as she reached his side, he suddenly grabbed her wrist. Si Que pulled You Yuji onto his lap and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Zhenxu came in with a cup of tea. Her fingertips trembled, and she put the tea down with forced calmness, then quickly walked out and closed the door.
After Zhenxu left, You Yuji pushed Si Que's shoulder and whispered, "What are you doing?"
Si Que buried his face in You Yuji's neck and sniffed hard. His nose tip moved slowly down along the side of her neck, sniffing gently.
"What are you smelling?" You Yuji dodged backwards.
He sniffed softly and said aggrievedly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, sister. I can smell the smell of a wild man on you."
You Yuji was slightly startled, distracted for a moment, and pushed Si Que's restraining hand away with a little force. She stood up and walked quickly to the other side of the beauty couch and sat sideways.
Si Que looked at her with a dark look in his eyes, and pushed the wheelchair towards her: "Sister, is someone bullying you?"
