"The second young lady is of noble birth. How could she do such a thing?" Zhizhu stood still, too afraid to move.
Su Yueyue watched her vigilant expression, and her anger flared up even more.
She strode forward in a few steps and tried to snatch the bowl from Zhizhu's hand. Zhizhu was so frightened by her look that she almost stopped breathing.
Just as Su Yueyue's hand was about to touch the bowl, Zhizhu suddenly let out a scream. Then her hand slipped, and the medicine bowl tumbled to the ground, spilling the medicine all over the floor.
"You!" Su Yueyue was also startled. "What are you doing!"
Zhizhu quickly apologized. "Sorry, miss. I didn't hold it steady."
Su Yueyue glanced at her injured finger and finally waved her hand impatiently. "Prepare another portion."
"Yes." Zhizhu quickly backed out.
Watching Zhizhu's departing back, Su Yueyue turned around and came to Su Mingyu's side. Her face was as gloomy as could be. "Damn Su Mingyu! You're really everywhere!"
As she spoke, Su Yueyue took out the broken ceramic piece she had just picked up from the ground and was about to scratch Su Mingyu's face with it.
But before her ceramic piece could touch Su Mingyu, Su Mingyu suddenly opened her eyes. A pair of jet - black, deep and dark eyes stared straight at her.
Those bright eyes showed no sign of drunkenness at all.
Su Yueyue's face darkened. "You're not drunk?"
Su Mingyu seemed not to hear and held Su Yueyue's hand tightly.
Su Yueyue felt a sharp pain from the grip. She frowned tightly. "Good for you, Su Mingyu. You're not drunk at all but deliberately pretended to faint. What on earth do you want? Just to let the King of Yu send you back?"
Su Yueyue's voice was a bit out of control. "It hurts! Su Mingyu, let go of me! You shameless woman! You already have Gu Ruobai. Why do you still miss the King of Yu!"
After being shouted at so loudly, Su Mingyu seemed to come to her senses. She looked at Su Yueyue with dazed eyes. Seeing her pale face, Su Mingyu spoke slowly. "Su Yueyue?"
Su Yueyue snorted. "Let go of me!"
Only then did Su Mingyu look at her hand blankly and then tightened her grip. "What are you doing with the ceramic tile?"
"I wanted to feed you medicine. I tripped and broke the bowl. Is that okay!" Su Yueyue's face was pale from the pain, and even sweat broke out on her forehead. "Let go of me quickly. My hand hurts so much!"
"Feed medicine?" Su Mingyu rubbed her throbbing head. "Then I really should thank you. You can go. I don't need you to feed me medicine."
After saying that, she finally let go of Su Yueyue.
Su Yueyue carefully rolled up her sleeve. At a glance, she saw her bruised wrist, and her face immediately darkened. "Su Mingyu! Look at what you've done!"
Su Mingyu pressed her hand against her forehead. Her face was a bit pale. "Get out!"
Just one word, but it seemed to carry an immeasurable force, making Su Yueyue shiver involuntarily.
However, she finally gritted her teeth and didn't move. "Why were you with the King of Yu?"
Su Mingyu seemed to be in great discomfort. She frowned tightly. "We met at the First Fragrance. You should get out quickly. I'm going to sleep."
Hearing the words "First Fragrance", Su Yueyue's face suddenly turned ugly. "Isn't that a brothel? What is a woman like you doing in a brothel?"
Su Mingyu didn't answer her. She just turned her face sideways and stared at her coldly with her sharp eyes.
The inky pupils were cold, showing no trace of emotion. It made Su Yueyue shudder, feeling a sense of fear as if facing a great enemy.
"Ask your King of Yu. I have a headache. If you don't leave, it won't look good when I kick you out."
After leaving this sentence, Su Mingyu didn't look at Su Yueyue anymore.
Su Yueyue had already been intimidated by her look. So while Su Mingyu didn't get up to drive her out, she gritted her teeth resentfully. "You just wait for me!"
After saying that, she reluctantly turned around and left the room.
Watching her back disappear at the door, Su Mingyu suddenly threw off the quilt and got out of bed. She leaned on the wooden basin beside the bed and stuck her finger down her throat.
As a wave of nausea surged up, Su Mingyu vomited thoroughly. Only then did she heave a long sigh of relief.
Damn King of Yu! He actually drugged her wine!
If it weren't for her early precautions and her physique that had been trained countless times since childhood, she might have confessed everything by now.
The King of Yu must be suspecting that Mo Wenyuan was Gu Ruobai.
Judging from his attitude towards her, the King of Yu should not have any evidence to prove that Mo Wenyuan was Gu Ruobai. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of getting information from her.
As soon as Zhizhu came in, she saw Su Mingyu with a pale face. "Miss! Miss! What's wrong with you?"
Su Mingyu waved her hand, signaling her to help her up. "It's okay. Fortunately, you were smart enough to break that bowl of medicine just now."
"You... You weren't drunk?" Zhizhu was a bit surprised. "Then why did you let the King of Yu carry you back? If the King of Ruixian finds out, he'll be really angry."
This girl really knows how to say the wrong thing.
Su Mingyu rubbed her throbbing temples. "Never mind. Let's take it one step at a time!"
After saying that, Su Mingyu lay back on the bed and closed her eyes uncomfortably. "I'm going to take a nap. You keep watch for me. Don't let anyone disturb me."
Zhizhu nodded lovingly. "What about this medicine?"
"Don't take it."
She wasn't feeling uncomfortable because of drinking. It was mainly the King of Yu's medicine, which had the effect of numbing the mind, a bit like the truth - serum in modern times, used for interrogation.
Although she had vomited a lot, due to the passage of time, she had already absorbed quite a bit of the medicine. So at this moment, Su Mingyu only felt a buzzing pain in her head.
In a daze, it seemed that the curtain in front of her gradually disappeared. When she opened her eyes again, she was already in that cold, white room.
Su Mingyu felt pain all over her body. She slowly curled herself into a ball and then carefully leaned against the wall, trying to find a bit of security.
But no matter how tightly she hugged herself, she only felt a sense of emptiness.
She desperately needed something to give her warmth.
But when she looked around, there was nothing but the cold white, just as always.
Every time after training, she would be covered in injuries. At such times, the person who trained with her would always come to comfort her. Su Mingyu knew that she would always come.
But the next second, Su Mingyu only saw a sea of red in front of her eyes. The person who trained with her was lying limp in a pool of blood like a lump of mud. Those eyes that always smiled were now lifeless.
In an instant, panic almost engulfed Su Mingyu. She shivered and her voice was tinged with a sob. "Don't leave me alone... Don't abandon me..."
