The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!-Chapter 195: You Can Use That Word Like This?
The hands were clean, no grains of rice.
There should be no dirt either.
Huangfu Jingchen questioned with a glance.
Xia Wenjin slowly, with a mature and earnest tone, said, "Young man, fickleness, inconsistency, and indecisiveness are not good qualities, you must change!"
Huangfu Jingchen: "..."
Is fickleness used like this?
It seems Xia Wenjin has refused, Huangfu Jingchen sighed inwardly, let’s go to Liangzhou first.
The two originally planned to stroll through the market, but after leaving the restaurant, Xia Wenjin suddenly looked in a direction, with a slight frown.
Huangfu Jingchen followed her gaze and asked, "What’s wrong?" There were only vendors there.
Xia Wenjin said, "The weather is nice tonight, let’s go back!"
Huangfu Jingchen looked up at the already dark sky, no stars, no moon, the lantern lights on the roadside seemed so dim, is the weather really nice?
Moreover, is there any necessary connection between these two sentences? If the weather is nice, shouldn’t we stroll more?
Xia Wenjin explained to herself, "We need to travel tomorrow, must conserve energy, go back early to rest early!"
Back at the inn, it wasn’t even the end of the You hour when Huangfu Jingchen suddenly recalled something and said, "Wenjin, wait!"
Xia Wenjin looked at him, and saw him hurriedly return to the room, and before long, he came out with a small porcelain bottle in his hand, handed it to her, and said, "This is for you!"
The porcelain bottle was very small, seemingly made of White Jade, exceptionally delicate and beautiful, but she couldn’t see what was inside, Xia Wenjin didn’t take it: "What is it?"
Huangfu Jingchen said, "An antidote!"
Xia Wenjin was surprised, "What do I need an antidote for?"
Huangfu Jingchen was even more surprised, "Did you forget, you took poison!" He was somewhat ashamed, "At that time, I didn’t consider thoroughly, although it takes a year to take effect, it’s better for you to take the antidote early!"
Xia Wenjin smiled faintly, "Even your poison I could detect and neutralize, do you think I would be poisoned?"
Huangfu Jingchen was momentarily speechless, he pulled Xia Wenjin’s hand over and stuffed that small bottle into her hand, saying, "Actually, this is not an antidote, this medicine is called the Heart Cleansing Pill, take it, it could save your life in the future!"
When he left the Cheng Prince Mansion, his mother concubine gave it to him, and casually mentioned the name Bone Corrosive Heart Piercing Pill, saying its poison acts slowly over a year, best used to control people, and to get the antidote, one must find his mother concubine.
At that time, he was also angry, later thought although Xia Wenjin was unreasonable and detestable, she didn’t deserve to die, so he planned to return to Yunzhou to ask his mother concubine for the antidote.
Now hearing that Xia Wenjin didn’t mind the poison, he ultimately felt some guilt, so he took out the Clear Heart Pill.
A deep color flashed in Xia Wenjin’s eyes, Clear Heart Pill, she was too familiar with this name, twenty years ago, the Emperor invited a mysterious Undying Poison Doctor, spent half his treasury on rare medicines, and invited the Undying Saint Doctor to refine six Heart Cleansing Pills. The amount was limited, the Emperor kept two, Prince Liang Huangfu Qidai, who was both Crown Prince and Eldest Prince at the time, had a different status, and received one. The Emperor’s favorite, Old Nine Li King, received one, the remaining two were divided among the unknown two of Prince Zhuang Lu Chengxin.
At that time, Xia Wenjin was assisting Huangfu Yuxuan in the Capital City and knew this royal secret because when Huangfu Yuxuan was severely injured in a battle, he ordered Pu Yangji to get that Clear Heart Pill from his father, Huangfu Qidai, who refused, wanting to save it for himself, falsely claiming he had used it. Huangfu Yuxuan offered a fortune for this pill to the world. Without success, later, Huangfu Yuxuan suspected Huangfu Qidai of lying and tacitly allowed Pu Yangji to hold a knife to his father’s neck to force it out.
This pill was so rare among the Imperial Family, how could Huang Zheng have it?
A thought crossed Xia Wenjin’s mind, she looked up at Huangfu Jingchen, with a slight odd emotion in her eyes, asking, "Do you know the Undying Poison Doctor? Have you met him?"
"Undying Poison Doctor?" Huangfu Jingchen shook his head.
"Then how did you get this Clear Heart Pill?"
Huangfu Jingchen remained silent for a moment, this Clear Heart Pill was given to him by his father. Three years on the battlefield, narrowly escaping death multiple times, he hadn’t the heart to use it.
He smiled and said, "This was given by my father, my parents have extensive connections, maybe they know or their friends know, who knows."
Xia Wenjin thought so too, the Undying Poison Doctor is a Jianghu person, however, that old man’s temperament is very peculiar, to obtain such top-grade medicine from him isn’t an ordinary connection.
However, she was puzzled, glanced at Huangfu Jingchen, and said, "Clear Heart Pill is not for detoxification, what I mean is, not just for detoxification, you know?" Using a Clear Heart Pill just to detoxify a minor poison is overkill!
Huangfu Jingchen said, "Anyway, it’s used to save lives."
"Since you know it’s to save lives, why didn’t you use it when you were that injured?" She had to work hard to save him. Almost all his blood was drained!
Huangfu Jingchen’s face flushed red, "Didn’t... Didn’t have time!"
After a fight to a draw with those two men in black, he descended into darkness, not only couldn’t he think of this life-saving medicine, but even if he could, he truly lacked the strength to take it.
Xia Wenjin made a sound of understanding, however, she scrutinized Huangfu Jingchen once more, very curious, "Where did you hide this medicine? When I treated your wounds, I examined and felt you all over!" Except below the shorts, of course, she wouldn’t mention that.
Listening to ’all over examined and felt,’ Huangfu Jingchen’s face was furiously red, looking at Xia Wenjin’s gaze, it wasn’t clear whether he should be angry, amused, shy, or annoyed. He had to comfort himself, they’re both men, what does it matter to look and feel?
As for where he hid his medicine, he wouldn’t say! Of course, Xia Wenjin only asked in passing, without any intention to investigate further.
They each returned to their rooms to rest.
It was too early, Huangfu Jingchen couldn’t sleep, but he didn’t intend to disturb Xia Wenjin, practicing a set of boxing in the limited space of the room.
During his recovery, he practiced in the courtyard morning and evening, initially panting heavily after half a set, now his blood was flowing smoothly, finishing the set with vigor, without gasping or blushing.
His wounds were truly healed completely.
Although the medicine Xia Wenjin gave him was peculiar, it was very effective.
He wiped his face, washed his hands, preparing to sleep.
Just as he lay down, he suddenly heard a creaking sound. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
The sound was very small, like a window being pushed open.
His room had windows, but this sound seemed near yet slightly distant, clearly not from his windows.
Then it was from the next room.
Where Xia Wenjin was staying.
A trace of loss surged in Huangfu Jingchen’s heart, could it be Wenjin was planning to leave without saying goodbye?
If Wenjin wanted to leave, why do so through the window?
Something was off, Huangfu Jingchen sat up suddenly.
