Ah! It hurts so much! Why does my stomach ache so badly? Is this how girls feel during their periods?
With great effort, Xia Lin pressed the button beside the bed. Soon, a maid rushed in. When she saw Xia Lin's condition, she let out a scream first. But as expected of a maid in the palace, she had professional qualities. After calling for the medical staff, she quickly contacted Caron.
Xia Lin passed out. He felt his consciousness sink into a sea, deeper and deeper. When he woke up, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar room.
Caron was sitting beside his bed with his eyes closed. It seemed that he had been watching over him all this time. Xia Lin felt warm inside. Although the system told him that Caron was the villain boss and seemed to be a bad guy, at least Caron was kind to him. It had been a long time since anyone had treated him so well. If there was a favorability meter for Xia Lin, Caron would definitely hear a sound like "Ding~ Xia Lin's favorability increased by 15".
Xia Lin wanted to sit up, but his body was inexplicably weak. After struggling for a while, he finally lay back down.
However, Xia Lin's movement made Caron open his eyes. Seeing Xia Lin awake, Caron's expression changed from expressionless to delighted. "How do you feel?"
Xia Lin gave a weak smile. "Much better. My stomach doesn't hurt anymore, but I'm just weak all over. Caron, what exactly is wrong with me?"
Caron's face suddenly turned extremely gloomy. Although his anger was not directed at Xia Lin, it still made Xia Lin flinch in fear.
"Xiaolin, you're not sick. You were poisoned."
"What!" Xia Lin's big round black eyes widened. "But why? Have I offended anyone?"
Caron said, "It hasn't been found out yet. I've already asked Zorro to lock up and interrogate all the servants who had contact with you today."
Xia Lin said with lingering fear, "I'm lucky to be alive. It really hurt so much at that time. I felt like I was going to die."
Caron gently stroked Xia Lin's head. "Don't worry. I will definitely find out the culprit! I will never let the person who hurt you go!"
Xia Lin nodded. At this time, Zorro came and stood at the door, saying that he had something to report to Caron. In order not to disturb Xia Lin, Caron went out to talk to Zorro.
After Caron left, Xia Lin asked the system, "System, system! How on earth was I poisoned?"
The system quickly responded. [Reporting to the host, you were poisoned with a deadly poison in this world. But luckily you have this system. This system helped you greatly weaken the toxicity.]
Xia Lin was very touched. "Thank you, system. I would have died if it weren't for you. Although I know the main reason you saved me is for me to complete the task."
The system coquettishly said, [How mean, host. Don't expose my purpose. Let's keep a good impression of each other.]
Xia Lin: Heh
Thanks to the system, Xia Lin was able to leave the royal hospital after staying there for a few days. At this time, Caron was still investigating the culprit.
Xia Lin asked Zorro if he could go with him to see the place where the suspects were detained. "I want to know why that person wanted to poison me."
Zorro wanted to refuse. He thought it was useless for Xia Lin to know. The reasons were nothing more than jealousy or disgust.
But thinking about Xia Lin's special status in Caron's heart, he sighed. "I'll ask His Majesty."
Xia Lin nodded. "Okay. If Caron doesn't agree, I'll just wait for him to tell me the answer."
