Seeing Yun Xi remain silent, Qi Rong's eyes flashed. In an instant, his hands reached under Yun Xi's armpits and began to tickle her.
Yun Xi's eyes widened in surprise, and she burst into uncontrollable laughter.
"Stop it right now!"
Yun Xi struggled desperately, trying to escape from Qi Rong's clutches. However, Qi Rong confined her in his arms. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free.
At this moment, Qi Rong said with a straight face,
"Are you going to tell me? If you don't tell the truth, I won't stop."
Under the attack of Qi Rong's hands, tears streamed down Yun Xi's face from laughter. While laughing, she cursed,
"You're so despicable! Stop it now!"
Hearing Yun Xi's words, Qi Rong not only didn't stop but intensified his actions. He didn't stop until Yun Xi gave up resisting and begged for mercy in his arms.
"Okay, I'll tell you. Can't I just tell you? Please stop!"
Qi Rong readily let go. He watched Yun Xi's blushing little face leisurely, couldn't help but lower his head and kiss it, then let her sit on his lap.
"Tell me. Why did you go to my yard?"
Yun Xi wiped the non - existent saliva on her face in disgust and mumbled,
"I asked the divine doctor Baizhu to make the Qianhua Bailu Pills for you. I originally wanted to give them to you tonight. But seeing you had guests, I didn't go over."
Saying this, Yun Xi struggled to get out of Qi Rong's embrace. She took out a porcelain bottle from the secret compartment beside the bed and put it into Qi Rong's hand.
To avoid Qi Rong's misunderstanding, Yun Xi specifically explained,
"Don't worry. I didn't tell Baizhu that you were poisoned. I just asked him to help me make two Qianhua Bailu Pills for self - defense."
The Qianhua Bailu Pills had the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. Eating them could also make one immune to all poisons. Therefore, this medicine was very precious.
Qi Rong pinched the white porcelain bottle in his hand, and a warm current suddenly surged in his heart.
"The Qianhua Bailu Pills. Did you specifically ask for them for me?"
He knew that the divine doctor Baizhu was very famous, but he was also very eccentric. He didn't care about money or social status. He only treated those he wanted to treat.
Baizhu was most famous for his antidote skills, and the Qianhua Bailu Pills were the holy antidote developed by him!
Because the process was complex, it took a great deal of time and energy. Moreover, the divine doctor Baizhu had to boil the pills himself, staying up for several nights without rest. Therefore, he wouldn't easily promise them to others.
These pills were extremely valuable. One pill was worth a thousand gold!
Even when the crown prince Qi Yu was poisoned, Baizhu only gave him one pill. But Yun Xi could ask for two for him, which showed that she had put in a lot of effort.
Facing Qi Rong's affectionate look, Yun Xi felt her cheeks burn and was extremely uncomfortable.
"I didn't ask him. It's because my grandfather once helped him, so he gave them to me for free."
Yun Xi didn't want to admit that she had spent a lot of effort for Qi Rong, even putting aside her pride and pestering Baizhu for a long time before finally getting these two pills.
Yun Xi deliberately insisted stubbornly. Qi Rong stared at Yun Xi, who wasn't very good at lying, and laughed teasingly.
"Do you know that your eyes will look to the left when you lie?"
Because she felt guilty, Yun Xi didn't dare to look others in the eye.
Qi Rong had already noticed this, so Yun Xi couldn't deceive him at all.
Hearing this, Yun Xi's lips stiffened. The next moment, she immediately turned to Qi Rong, deliberately meeting his gaze and defending herself.
"No way! I'm not lying! Do you think you're so important that I would go to such lengths for you..."
Yun Xi was typically stubborn. However, the more she tried to explain, the worse it got, and she gradually couldn't continue.
Seeing her like this, Qi Rong was overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface, he nodded as if he believed her words and didn't continue to expose her.
"Okay. Since your relationship is so special, then help me ask for two more pills. I can buy them at a high price."
Hearing Qi Rong's words, Yun Xi choked, almost choking on her own saliva. She stared at Qi Rong and said,
"You're dreaming! Greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. You should be content with these two pills! You still want more? Can't you give others a chance?"
You should know that the Qianhua Bailu Pills not only took a lot of effort to make, but the medicinal materials were also very precious. Even if the divine doctor Baizhu wanted to make more, he would be restricted in many ways.
In such a long time, being able to make two pills was already his maximum effort!
"Weren't you just saying that you were very familiar with him? Come on, it's just two pills. Is this so difficult for you?"
Qi Rong reached out and pinched Yun Xi's fair and tender cheek. The tenderness almost overflowed from his eyes.
Hearing Qi Rong's retort, Yun Xi couldn't help but grit her teeth. She suddenly felt like she had shot herself in the foot.
She should have known that this man liked to tease her the most on weekdays and had no sense of grace at all! She shouldn't have boasted in front of him...
Seeing Yun Xi looking embarrassed and just glaring at him angrily, Qi Rong couldn't help but burst out laughing. Looking at Yun Xi's increasingly flushed angry face, Qi Rong's laughter became even more unrestrained.
Yun Xi had been kind - hearted, but was instead teased by the other party. She felt a bit embarrassed and suddenly got angry.
"Forget it. I won't give you the pills. Give them back to me quickly!"
Saying this, Yun Xi reached out to grab the porcelain bottle in Qi Rong's hand, but was immediately grabbed by the arm by Qi Rong and pulled forcefully into his arms.
Before Yun Xi could scold him, Qi Rong suddenly grabbed the back of her neck, and his thin lips immediately pressed against hers. Once they touched, it was like a violent storm, lingering on and on. He pried open Yun Xi's teeth and wantonly plundered the sweetness in her mouth, greedy and insatiable.
Yun Xi, out of breath, went limp in Qi Rong's arms. From initially resisting, she slowly accepted and even responded.
Qi Rong was overjoyed at Yun Xi's change. It was a long time before he reluctantly let her go.
Realizing what she had just done, Yun Xi felt like she wanted to bang her head against a block of tofu. She blushed to the ears. To cover up her embarrassment, she immediately issued an order for Qi Rong to leave.
"Get out. Don't stay in my room."
Yun Xi constantly pushed Qi Rong hard with both hands, trying to push him off her bed.
However, Qi Rong remained unmoved. He looked at her with a gentle smile. The next moment, he pressed her into his arms, lay down on the bed directly, and announced,
"I'm going to stay the night in Nanyuan today. You have no right to refuse me."
Although Yun Xi had made three rules with him before and put forward many conditions, they didn't include refusing Qi Rong's contact or staying overnight.
"No. Go back to your own yard and sleep. My bed is too small for you!"
Yun Xi deliberately ignored the previous agreement and tried hard to drive Qi Rong out of her room.
One reason was that they had been separated for a while, and Qi Rong's contact made her very shy. The other reason was that she was on her period and was afraid that embarrassing things might happen.
Seeing Yun Xi so repulsed by him, a look of displeasure flashed in Qi Rong's eyes again. Pressing his forehead against hers, he said hoarsely,
"Do you know? Out of consideration for your feelings, I've never forced you to sleep with me. But that doesn't mean I don't want to."
