Hearing Qi Rong's words, Yun Xi instantly frowned, looking disapproving.
"What kind of time is this? And you still only care about your dignity?"
Which is more important, life or face? Any normal person would surely make a wise choice!
As Yun Xi spoke, she stared at Qi Rong's somewhat pale face, and couldn't help her eyes reddening slightly.
"It's just a poisoning? You make it sound so easy! If it's not properly treated, it might very well take your life!"
This poison had made him so weak. Clearly, it had already damaged his internal organs!
And yet he could still laugh? Before, he even had the energy to make things difficult for her!
Qi Rong had originally not wanted to worry Yun Xi, but seeing how much she cared about him, a warm current couldn't help surging in his heart.
Yun Xi was about to go and invite the imperial physician again, but Qi Rong still held her wrist tightly.
"It's the poison on the arrows from the training ground."
He stared into Yun Xi's skeptical eyes and slowly began to explain.
"I accidentally got contaminated with it. I've already taken the antidote in time. I just need some time to recover. If you go looking for the imperial physician at this time, it's bound to make everyone know that I got poisoned by the poison I myself put on the arrows. Wouldn't I be laughed at when I go out?"
Hearing Qi Rong's words, Yun Xi couldn't help snorting coldly.
"Even if you're laughed to death, you deserve it!"
Why did he have to use such a dangerous way to practice martial arts? And even use poison!
This was what was called self - inflicted!
"Do you hate me that much?"
Qi Rong suddenly asked, thinking of the look in Yun Xi's eyes when she left the mansion at noon.
"You're just shooting yourself in the foot. What does this have to do with whether I hate you or not?"
Yun Xi shook off his hand and didn't want to meet his sharp black eyes at this moment. She was afraid that he would see through her thoughts at a glance.
She had already made up her mind to let go. Indulging again would only make her sink deeper and deeper, unable to extricate herself!
"Also, I advise Your Highness: Life is only once. Don't treat it like a joke!"
Because she had discovered a long time ago that Qi Rong didn't cherish his own life at all, which she disliked very much.
Even ants strive to survive and cherish their own lives. But in her opinion, Qi Rong regarded his life as a bet. In order to go head - to - head with his enemies, he didn't even hesitate to perish together with them!
Even if there was no one in this world that he wanted to cherish his life for, the world was so big that he would surely meet someone one day.
By then, it might be too late for him to want a strong and healthy body.
Just like her. Although she was not very old, she already knew that her body was like a candle in the wind, ready to go out at any moment.
So, she wanted to make her life as unrestrained and free as possible! Not to be restricted by anything or anyone!
Staring at the sadness unconsciously revealed in Yun Xi's tear - filled eyes, Qi Rong, who originally wanted to be a bit "cruel" to her, finally gave in.
"I promise you."
His heart softened, and he wanted to reach out and touch Yun Xi's cheek, but she turned her head and dodged.
"You should have a good rest. I'm going back to the South Courtyard. Zhan Feng is just outside the yard. I'll notify him to come over later."
After saying that, Yun Xi got up, picked up the bundle she had prepared before, and walked out of the room without stopping.
Qi Rong reached out his hand and hung it in mid - air. He wanted to ask if she had eaten dinner, but the words were held back in the end.
For now, he couldn't let his feelings for Yun Xi run wild, because he wanted to give Yun Xi the greatest safety within his control.
He couldn't allow her to be hurt in the slightest under his nose!
Not long after, Yun Xi appeared at the courtyard gate with the bundle in her hand. The moment Zhan Feng saw her, his face sank, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Seeing Zhan Feng's hostility towards her, Yun Xi was no stranger to it. She said,
"Don't worry. I won't pose any threat to you. You don't need to be so hostile towards me."
Because Zhan Feng had once said that the death of the old Duke Luo might really be related to her father, so Yun Xi didn't hold a grudge against Zhan Feng.
If there was a female spy, who was also the daughter of an enemy, lurking around one's master, anyone would suspect that the person had ulterior motives!
Zhan Feng stared at Yun Xi coldly and didn't say a word. Yun Xi couldn't help sighing and saying,
"Qi Rong is not feeling well. You'd better stay by his side all the time. And it would be better if you remind him not to do anything dangerous again."
Zhan Feng was Qi Rong's personal guard. Maybe he could persuade Qi Rong a bit?
Hearing Yun Xi's words, Zhan Feng immediately showed a look of nervousness and sneered at Yun Xi,
"You don't need to tell me what to do about the master's affairs! You just need to take care of yourself and don't disgrace the mansion!"
Zhan Feng's words were full of disgust for Yun Xi and he didn't even try to hide it.
After saying that, without waiting for Yun Xi to speak again, he quickly walked towards Qi Rong's bedroom!
"He runs quite fast!"
Yun Xi pursed her lips, glared at Zhan Feng's back, and then carried the bundle towards Yu Zhu's room.
It was already late at night. She didn't know if the South Courtyard had been cleaned up. After today, she was already extremely tired and just wanted to have a good rest!
"Miss, why are you here?"
Yu Zhu had already finished washing up and was about to go to bed. When she saw Yun Xi standing at her door, she was startled.
"If His Highness finds out that you've sneaked over again, he might make some new rules for the mansion!"
Thinking of this, Yu Zhu couldn't help feeling afraid.
Because she found that every time His Highness and her miss fought, she was always the first one to be affected. On the contrary, her miss was fine. She had long thought that His Highness's actions were too obvious!
He was reluctant to let her miss suffer, so he took it out on her! Unfortunately, she didn't even have the right to protest!
Fortunately, her miss loved her and always made changes for her in the end.
Hearing Yu Zhu's words, Yun Xi suddenly spread out her arms and hugged Yu Zhu tightly.
"Yu Zhu, I've fallen from favor."
So, Qi Rong wouldn't care about her anymore. She could be "willful" again!
Yun Xi's words were full of loss, but there was a big smile on her face, which made Yu Zhu feel a bit creepy.
"Miss, when did this happen? Did you misunderstand His Highness?!"
Yun Xi walked past Yu Zhu and went straight into her room. She threw the bundle aside and lay on Yu Zhu's bed in a big - character shape, saying,
"I didn't misunderstand. Qi Rong said that I should move to the South Courtyard tonight and don't need to go to his yard anymore in the future!"
This was also something she had been looking forward to before. Although she didn't expect that what she couldn't get before would come so unexpectedly now!
"The South Courtyard? Is it true, miss!"
Yu Zhu immediately frowned when she heard this and stared closely at Yun Xi.
"If I remember correctly, the one living next to the South Courtyard is that Wushuang!"
His Highness clearly knew that Wushuang always targeted her miss. So what did it mean for him to arrange things like this?
