Han Yunxi waited from dawn to dusk. Not to mention the groom, she didn't even see a shadow of a person.
In the dead of the night, she leaned against the pillow and unknowingly fell asleep. Suddenly, she heard a crash. It seemed to be the sound of someone hitting the window.
The oil lamp in the bedroom was too small to illuminate the outside. Han Yunxi waited for a long time, but she didn't hear anything else. A trace of uneasiness flitted past her heart. She carefully walked out of the bedroom.
"Who is it?"
It was dark and quiet outside. No one answered.
"Someone came in, right? Who are you? "Han Yunxi asked again as she shone the oil lamp over.
At this moment, a beeping sound rang in her head, reminding her that there was poison. What was going on?
Could it be that someone had poisoned her?
Han Yunxi shivered and immediately turned to return to the bedroom. Unexpectedly, a hand grabbed her ankle at this moment.
"Ah …"
Before she could finish her scream, her entire body was pulled over. The oil lamp fell to the ground and she fell flat on her face. However, she couldn't care less. She wanted to kick that hand away, but unexpectedly, she kicked a man's chest. Instantly, the smell of blood filled the air.
"Don't move if you want to live." The man's cold voice suddenly caused the surrounding temperature to drop by a few degrees.
Han Yunxi instantly froze because the cold blade of a sword was pressed against her body.
This guy seemed to be injured and poisoned. Was he an assassin?
The surroundings were very quiet. She could hear the man's heavy breathing. After seeing that he didn't move, Han Yunxi asked timidly, "Hey, you're here to assassinate the Duke of Qin, right?"
The man didn't answer.
"The Duke of Qin isn't here. I reckon he won't come for a year or so. Let me go and I'll pretend that I don't know anything, okay?" Han Yunxi probed.
Unfortunately, the man still didn't speak. In the darkness, Han Yunxi could see that he was leaning against the wall. He was dressed in black, so she couldn't see his face clearly.
"You're injured. Don't sit like this. Hurry up and leave. I promise I won't call anyone to catch you. "Han Yunxi said timidly. She carefully got up and wanted to push his sword away.
Who knew that the moment she touched the back of the sword, the man would raise the sword to her neck and slash it down mercilessly! At this critical moment, Han Yunxi suddenly retreated and said anxiously, "You've been poisoned. The wound is four inches from your abdomen. It's snake venom. You were poisoned half an hour ago. It wasn't directly bitten by a venomous snake, but a venom refined by someone. Your breathing is heavy and your heartbeat is slow. This kind of venom hurts your heart and acts very quickly. You'll probably be able to hold on for an hour. "
Han Yunxi told him everything she had guessed based on the detoxification system's reminder. At this moment, the man's sword was still pressed against her neck. The blood slowly flowing from her neck made her heart beat faster and faster, unable to slow down.
However, the man didn't stab down with his sword, which made Han Yunxi know that she was right.
The surroundings were silent, and the cold air was filled with tension. Han Yunxi swallowed her saliva, summoned her courage, and continued, "I can help you detoxify. If I can't, you can kill me."
After saying that, she didn't dare to make another sound and waited in fear.
After a while, the man spoke Cold Voice, "How long?"
"I need to check the specific injury and the intensity of the venom." Han Yunxi answered truthfully.
The man didn't say anything and put down his sword. Han Yunxi's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally calmed down.
After confirming that her life wasn't in danger, Han Yunxi's very professional side was revealed. She stood up and saw that the man in black was about to stand up as well. She immediately ordered, "Sit down, don't move!"
Her voice was thin, but it had a sense of authority that couldn't be defied. "Once you move, it will accelerate your blood circulation. The more venom enters your heart, the more troublesome it will be."
In the darkness, a mischievous look flashed across the man's eyes, and he really did obediently stop moving. Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi's next sentence was, "Take off your clothes."
