It just so happened that Yan Ruo was also looking at Xu Qingzhu.

The moment the four eyes met, Xu Qingzhu always felt his heart skip a beat, and he looked away a little embarrassed.

Those eyes were so bright that he really couldn't think of lying.

And Ying Xuan has never been a stupid person, can he really fool the past this time?

Xu Qingzhu struggled for a long time, and finally decided to take the initiative to confess.

"I was poisoned by fire, and the smell of medicine you smelled in the carriage last time was the smell left over from my years of taking medicine to suppress the fire poison. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this because I didn't want you to worry about me. ”

Yan Ruo raised her eyes, "Then why did you say it this time?" ”

"Because I don't want to lie to you."

Just such a sentence inexplicably made Yan Ruo feel a little happier.

It's just that when she thought that Xu Qingzhu still had fire poison on her body, the faint joy she originally gave birth to disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Although she didn't know what fire poison was, she probably knew that the situation was not very good because Xu Qingzhu needed to drink medicine all year round to suppress it.

"What is fire poison?" Yan Ruo asked.

"Fire poison is a toxin hidden in the body, and at the beginning of the attack, it is like thousands of ants and insects climbing in the flesh and blood, with endless itching. And when the situation is more serious, it begins to feel pain, like those ants that were originally just climbing begin to eat the flesh and blood. At the same time, the body is burned like a raging fire, and the body temperature will continue to rise, so it is called fire poison. ”

Don't look at how lightly Xu Qingzhu described this when she said this, but from these simple words, she could hear that this must have endured great pain.

She couldn't help but hold Xu Qingzhu's hand, her eyes were full of distress.

Xu Qingzhu held her hand back, smiled at her, and said softly, "It's okay, I'm used to it." ”

"Don't lie to me, how can you get used to such a thing as pain?" At most, it's just an increase in tolerance or something, but unless the person's pain sense disappears, or the nerves become numb, it will not be able to get used to it for a lifetime.

Xu Qingzhu just smiled.

Yan Ruo pursed her lips, but she didn't grasp the question.

In her opinion, it was already a very uncomfortable thing for Xu Qingzhu to have fire poison in his body, and now that the fire poison had not attacked, let him recall that feeling, wouldn't that be pouring salt on other people's wounds?

"Then how did you get poisoned, and when did it start?"

"I've had fire poison on my body for as long as I can remember, and I don't know where it came from." Saying that, Xu Qingzhu smiled instead, and there was some mockery in the smile he revealed, "However, if you think about it, you can guess that it is nothing more than the three indiscriminate methods used by those men in the harem in order to compete for favor." ”

People who live in a place like the palace have long been blinded by power, and they really can do anything.

Maybe they came for his father, after all, his father was a noble monarch at the time, and he was favored by the empress at that time, which attracted the jealousy of others, so it is not impossible that someone wanted to drug his father, but it was not impossible that he was about to accidentally fall to him.

Maybe they came for him, because in the eyes of the world, he was the princess, one of the heirs to the throne, and some people wanted to pave the way for their children, and it was unknown what they wanted to do with him.

However, does it really matter who the drug taker is targeting?

In the end, the medicine was only on him.
