Zi Wei gradually lowered his head, tightly clutching his fists, and a loose strand of long hair veiled the expression in his eyes.
Su Yingxue couldnât discern his face clearly, but she seemed to sense that her previous words were too much.
She squatted down and patted his hand. âI said that for your good. Youâre stubborn. What if 1 canât remember to detoxify you next time, and something happens to you?â
âNothing,â Zi Wei replied coldly.
âWhat do you mean nothing happened? The poison in you hasnât been completely cured. If I didnât cure you in time, you would have lost your life. This is a big deal! Your indifference toward yourself makes me feel guilty!â Su Yingxueâs energetic eyes dimmed.
âI kidnapped you from the Silver Moon Pavilion so that you could live well, whether to protect me or yourself. If you were to lose your life, what would be the point?â Su Yingxueâs gentle gaze held a ripple of emotion.
Zi Wei felt a warmth in his heart. His voice, perpetually hoarse and tainted by poison, replied, âI⦠Itâs fine. I can endure it.â
âEverything is fine, why must you endure it?â
âYou have something to do.â
Zi Wei gazed at her with determination. He wouldnât allow himself to disturb her when she was busy.
He wouldnât leave her for any moment he could be by her side.
This time, he only needed to find a place to quietly endure the effects of the poison before returning to her side.
However, he didnât expect her to come looking for him just like that.
âZi Wei, Iâm sorry. This time, it was my negligence. In the future⦠1 will remember!â
Su Yingxue rubbed his face. âYouâre mine. 1 kidnapped you here, so I have to be responsible for you until the end!â
She spoke heroically as if this were just a responsibility and a mission to be completed.
She didnât realize that she had pried open an iceberg and released a weak flame from it.
This small flame had already gradually ignited.
Zi Wei was unwilling to return to Marquisâs Manor, so Su Yingxue stayed in the blacksmith shop to accompany him.
After drinking the medicine and temporarily suppressing the poison, his face returned to normal.
He looked at the girl who was sleeping soundly beside him. He reached out his finger and gently tapped her forehead.
As a killing machine, he had been emotionless for many years.
But now, he had a determination, something that he wanted to protect.
âSu Yingxue.â
He stared at her with a determined gaze. âI live for you.â
Su Yingxue brought back Zi Wei and returned to Qinghe Palace to handle some matters. She asked Aunt Jing Fang if the Eldest Princess of Qi State had any instructions for today.
Aunt Jing Fang said, âWhen the Eldest Princess saw that we did not treat her well, she was not angry. Yesterday, I was worried that she would lose her temper after Miss hit her servant girl. However, when I went to deliver breakfast today, the Eldest Princess did not give any instructions. If Miss is free now, why not follow me to meet the Eldest Princess? After all, she is one of the envoys. We cannot neglect her.â
Su Yingxue nodded. âWe should go.â
She went to the Perching Phoenix Palace with Aunt Jing Fang. The door was still guarded by the two maidservants. When Feng Qing saw her, her eyes almost popped out.
Su Yingxue had a gentle smile on her face as she sized up Feng Qingâs arm that was hanging in the air. âThe technique is exquisite. It seems that the Eldest Princessâs medical skills are extraordinary.â
Yun Danâs gaze shifted to her.. âWhy do you think itâs the princessâs medical skills?â
