"This is the valley lord of Baiyun Valley, Mr. Wei, who is known as the 'Poison Immortal'." This is the first time I have seen Jiang Zhuo take the initiative to introduce others, and the other party is still a young man, so I feel a little awkward somehow.

However, because he was the purpose of my trip, after all, I was asking for someone, so I still reluctantly showed a smile and bowed my head.

But seeing that he waved his hand indifferently, although he was humble, the sight that fell directly on my face since he entered the door was even more teasing: "Heh, I can't talk about 'poison fairy' or anything, but well, the poison in this young lady, except for the poisoner and me, I am afraid that no one in this world can solve it." ”

"In this case, then there is Mr. Lawwe." Looking at his appearance, he is only in his twenties, no matter how talented he is, how profound can his attainments in the way of medicine be? If Jiang Zhuo hadn't affirmed his identity, I wouldn't want to believe it, let alone deal with him.

Unexpectedly, he snorted contemptuously, swept me through it from beginning to end, and then asked in surprise: "This young lady must take herself too seriously, right?" When did I say I was going to detoxify you? ”

I was choked by him, and my face couldn't help but stiffen—dare he was teasing me before?

"This king ......" I had the intention to use Kuang Xihan's status as a prince to suppress his arrogance, but before the words came out, I paused: When did I get used to using power to suppress people to solve problems?

What is the difference between this almost instinctive act of exploiting the gap in status for oneself and the one I once despised the most?

Does this mean that I am unconsciously shifting towards the inherent thinking mode of the privileged class, and becoming more and more like the way of thinking of King Ling...... This thought made me tremble, and I swallowed the original words alive.

"Mr. Wei, this is His Royal Highness King Ling, Mr. Mu's name came from afar, and I asked Mr. to treat His Royal Highness, and I will thank you afterwards." Jiang Zhuo arched his hand towards Mr. Wei, who was picking his nose and eyes, and said softly.

"Yo, King Ling!" He took a step back exaggeratedly, tugging at the hem of his clothes as if he was afraid, but there was a deep sarcasm in his eyes, "Could it be that Your Excellency is the Royal Highness Ling Wang who bullies men and women and does all kinds of evil?" What a disrespect, disrespect! ”

"It seems that Mr. Wei has some misunderstanding of this king," I can see it: I am afraid that this "poison fairy" has a great prejudice against me, and has humiliated me in different ways since we met, as if he intended to provoke me - in this case, I can't do what he wants, "You don't deal with this king, this king doesn't blame you, but how innocent is the guard who came here with me?" They protected the king all the way, who knew that they would die in the forest of the White Cloud Valley...... As the lord of the valley, shouldn't you give this king an explanation? ”

"Tsk, explain? I am not the one who trespasses into other people's homes. He snorted slightly, tilting his head nonchalantly, "Those palace guards of yours are simply vulnerable!" I can't even avoid the trap in the outermost part of Baiyun Valley, so who is to blame if my skills are not perfect? It is worthy of being the guards from King Ling's Mansion, what kind of master there is, what kind of subordinates do they have......"

"You—" I was angry not so much because of his contempt and humiliation for me, but more because of his disrespect for the deceased, for his disregard for human life, and in any case, the guards died in the trap he had laid, and no reason could erase his sin of strangling his life.

Even if I intellectually warn myself not to be impulsive, and not to resort to violence against my grievances, I really wish I had the strength to slap that bewitching and arrogant face.

I was furious in my heart, but I was weak and weak, so I could only clench my fists in hatred and stare at him hard.

"What, annoyed and angry? Hmph, do you really have the face to be angry at me? He sneered, and deliberately took two more steps to the bed, but was stopped by Jiang Zhuo's cold face—I was surprised to find that the smile on his face froze, and he could hardly hold back, and his face changed and changed before he regained that mocking look.

It seemed that he had wanted to be closer, and it would be easier to provoke my anger; But Jiang Zhuo unexpectedly stopped him and taught him not to dare to act rashly.

Because she was facing away from me, I couldn't see Jiang Zhuo's expression, but she was firmly blocking my bed, and her attitude of protecting me couldn't be clearer-the long and straight back taught me to be moved and reassured, and even the anger that had been aroused before had subsided a lot.

The arrogance of the surnamed Wei was stunned, and when I thought he would be restrained, he suddenly became more vigorous, a little more rampant than before, as if the person who was squeezed and provoked to anger by words was him and not me: "Since His Royal Highness King Ling has mentioned the explanation, then I want to ask, where is my disciple who was ordered to go to Guanlan City to see a doctor?" ”

His question stumped me.

If I'm not mistaken, when our convoy encountered the first wave of attacks, that male disciple of Baiyun Valley was mishapped...... An unarmed man, and only a white body, in such a critical situation, who will remember to protect him?

And at this moment, if I hadn't taught him to question, I'm afraid I wouldn't have remembered this person a long time ago.

It's not his fault, but it's my sorrow.

I never felt that my life was superior to others, and that it was worth fighting for my life with hundreds of guards, desperately trying to save them; But at the moment when life and death were threatened, I still subconsciously ran away...... Leave the others behind and run away.

"Ben Wang...... He ......, "I snorted in his aggressive eyes, but I couldn't continue—I wanted to defend myself, but I couldn't say anything, I wanted to apologize, but I couldn't pull my face."

"Don't try to bluff me, my poor little apprentice has already died on the road, yes or no?" The corners of his mouth were hooked, and his eyes staring at me were cold, "His death has nothing to do with you!" Aren't you to blame? ”

"Yes, it's all my fault." Sighing, I had no intention of shirking, so I simply spread the words out, "So, how are you doing?" A life for a life? ”

I did not kill Beren, but Beren died because of me, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I killed that man; It's not just him, it's the guards...... It's all my blood debt, and I can't escape it.

"Your Highness is serious." At this time, Jiang Zhuo, who had been silent, suddenly said lightly, "There is a debtor who has been wronged, Mr. Wei should not blame the wrong person - there is someone else behind the scenes." ”

I knew that she was trying to defend me, but when I paid attention to her tone, I felt as if she meant something—a strange color flashed in Mr. Wei's eyes, and I was even more puzzled.

I couldn't figure it out, but I still suppressed these chaotic suspicions.

"Even if she didn't do it, wouldn't she be responsible?" There was an inexplicable silence, and for a moment, Mr. Wei sneered, glanced at me unrelentingly, and said coldly, "It's not necessary to pay for her life - anyway, she was poisoned, and she didn't have a few days to live, and she deserved retribution!" ”

I don't think I'm a narrow-minded person, but I'm so angry that I can't get caught up, I just feel a burst of blood rolling in my chest, a sweet throat, I can't help but tilt my head, and vomit out a mouthful of blood - the blood is red and black, and very viscous, like a poisonous peony in full bloom, stained with snow-white back, faintly ominous.

However, after spitting out this mouthful of black blood, his chest was clear, as if the blockage was empty, and the whole person was much more relaxed.

"Jane Heart!" Hearing my movements, Jiang Zhuo turned around, his cold face changed suddenly, and immediately held my shoulders, held me in the crook of his arm, and gently stroked my back with one free hand, smoothing me out.

I took a deep breath and met her eyes, which were no longer indifferent—those clear eyes that were drenched in eagerness and worry, and a little pity that I thought I would never see—but they were still impeccably beautiful.

To be reflected in such a pair of eyes, even if you die, you have no regrets.

And probably even she didn't realize it: just now, in a hurry, she called my name.

――What should I do?

Although I had just vomited blood, I felt so happy, so happy that I couldn't suppress the rise of the corners of my mouth, and I couldn't help but bury myself more and more in this embrace......

"Ahem." A voice that could not be ignored deliberately cleared its throat, deliberately emphasizing its own existence.

I glared at him angrily, but I heard Jiang Zhuo ask in a deep voice: "Mr. Wei, as you said, His Highness has vomited blood and bruises, can you proceed to the next step of diagnosis and treatment?" ”

"This is not in a hurry," he seemed to have suddenly changed into a man, and although he glanced at me with a mocking gaze, he did not have that frivolous casualness, and seemed much calmer—but with the bearing of a healer.

I was so confused by this turn of events that I seemed to be aware of it, but I could not be sure, so I could only stupidly look at the faces of the two dumb riddlers, trying to see what was going on.

"She is very weak, let's recuperate for a few days," Seeing that Jiang Zhuo seemed to be about to say something, Mr. Wei raised his eyebrows, and there was a bit of doubt in his teasing tone, "Don't worry, you won't die for a while." ”

“…… There is Mr. Lauwe. Jiang Zhuo didn't seem to hear his cynicism, but still bowed his head politely.

At last he glanced at me meaningfully, and he turned away, not even shutting the door with thoughtfulness—so different from the rude man who broke down the door, I wondered if they were alone.

"What the hell is ...... What's going on? Biting my lip hard, I reluctantly withdrew from Jiang Zhuo's arms, I looked at her seriously, silently warned myself not to be tempted by beauty, and waited for her explanation.

"Mr. Wei checked your pulse while you were unconscious," Jiang Zhuo paused, and said in a low voice, avoiding my staring at her, "according to him, you have blood in your chest, which is in danger of your life—so he and I have made a plan to deliberately provoke your anger and force out the blood." ”

――So, all of the previous things were done on purpose?

I nodded, and accepted her explanation, but there was a lingering doubt in my heart.

Mr. Wei's eyes looked at me with a vague hostility, but it didn't look like he was pretending.
