After arriving at the palace and entering the room where he usually rests, Xuan Jinmo sat down on the chair and said weakly: "Light the candle and help me apply the medicine. I don't want outsiders to know about this. The medicine is on the partition inside the bookshelf.
, light green vial.”
Tong Xiaoye silently lit the candlestick, then closed the door, found the antidote, then walked to the chair and squatted down.
Xuan Jinmo's wound was on the left side of his waist. It was not too deep, but the wound was already black.
"Clean the skin around the wound, pick off the darkened skin with a dagger, and then apply medicine." Xuan Jinmo said calmly, "This kind of poison can be removed within half an hour. After this half hour,
Within an hour, it will kill someone."
Tong Xiaoye didn't say anything. He took the sharp dagger and heated it with the candle fire. Then he squatted down again. After a slight hesitation, the sharp dagger quickly cut off the darkened skin. Xuan Jinmo didn't make any sound, and even his body was numb.
There was no trembling at all, as if he was not the one who was injured.
"Originally, this poison was tempered on the sword to deal with my enemies, but I didn't expect that it would be used on myself tonight." Xuan Jinmo smiled lightly and said mockingly.
Tong Xiaoye lowered his head, only seeing a head of black hair. He didn't give any answer and only concentrated on cleaning the wound.
Seeing the bright skin and bright red blood, Tong Xiaoye applied medicine and bandaged the wound. He slowly stood up, packed his things, and washed his hands with water.
"Sit down and rest for a while." Xuan Jinmo said softly, "We will go back at dawn."
"Yes." Tong Xiaoye responded softly and wiped the water on his hands. "There is no hot water here. I will boil some water. You will definitely be thirsty after drinking so much wine."
"Xiaoye—" Xuan Jinmo looked at Tong Xiaoye, hesitated, and nodded, "Okay, there is a small kitchen in the back, but at this time, everyone in the government office has gone to bed, and this is where I used to be during the day.
This is the place where you rest when you are tired. No one dares to come here without my instructions. It is already very late, so be careful."
"Yeah." Tong Xiaoye still just responded softly.
Listening to Tong Xiaoye's footsteps getting further away, Xuan Jinmo bit his lip and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead. His body also trembled slightly. Today, he has personally experienced the effects of his poison.
Got it!
I closed my eyes and rested, listening to the wind outside. It was a bit cold in the room. Even though it was spring, the night was still a bit chilly.
It took a long time before I heard the sound of Tong Xiaoye's footsteps coming back again. In the night, they sounded quietly, one sound after another, which was soothing to my ears. In fact, among the sound of the wind, Tong Xiaoye's footsteps were so light that they were almost inaudible.
But in Xuan Jinmo's ears, the sound came clearly.
With her eyes closed, she listened quietly as Tong Xiaoye walked into the room and poured water to make tea. Then Tong Xiaoye's quiet and slightly sad voice came: "You are injured. I brewed the tea very lightly. You drank it."
Wine, I added some honey to the tea."
Xuan Jinmo breathed a sigh of relief, took the tea handed over by Tong Xiaoye, drank it slowly, and said slowly: "Thank you."
Tong Xiaoye bit her lip lightly, lowered her head, and after a long time said slowly: "If we continue like this, is it unnecessary?"
Xuan Jin silently put down the tea cup, paused for a while, and said slowly: "Pour me another glass of water."
Tong Xiaoye sighed in her heart, walked closer, and refilled the teacup with water. She heard Xuan Jinmo's breathing rising and falling, which seemed to be anger and impatience.
"Why?" Xuan Jinmo held his hand on the armrest of the chair and asked word by word.
Tong Xiaoye sighed, looked at the candlelight blankly, and said softly: "Xuan Jinmo, I don't like the feeling of being tortured by jealousy. I love you, you know, but you reminded me with a bright moon,
I can't spend my whole life comforting myself, letting others tell me that you care about me, and using my thoughts to tell me that you like me. This is too tiring, and I'm afraid I will collapse."
Xuan Jinmo looked at Tong Xiaoye who was not looking at him, and said slowly: "I don't love Mingyue."
"But you don't love me either." Tong Xiaoye looked at Xuan Jinmo, "You just want revenge. Although you don't love Mingyue, she has your flesh and blood. You don't love me and gave me a useless title.
, your heart has not been given to anyone."
"Do you give me your whole heart?" Xuan Jinmo said indifferently, "You said you love me, but behind my back you thought of ending your life at any time. When Tianqi accused me, I was thinking, why don't you?
You're taking revenge on me because you think I don't love you!"
Tong Xiaoye smiled bitterly and murmured: "It is better for me to leave when you hate me than to leave when you start to think I am good. Xuan Jinmo, we met at the wrong time. Mingyue already has your flesh and blood. This reality
It keeps bothering me, I'm scared, I'm jealous, you're hurt, I'm scared, but you tell me it's Mingyue's fault, but you don't allow me to interfere, I know it's me she wants to deal with, not you.
, you saved my life! Because she is pregnant with your flesh and blood, no one wants to hurt her, right?"
Tong Xiaoye's voice was a little trembling and her words were a little messy.
"I said I don't love Mingyue." Xuan Jinmo said softly, sighing slightly.
"Then do you love me?" Tong Xiaoye looked up at Xuan Jinmo and asked seriously.
Xuan Jin was stunned for a moment, looked at Tong Xiaoye, hesitated, and said softly: "You are very important to me."
Tong Xiaoye smiled bitterly and said mockingly: "Yes, I am very important to you, because I am Tong Ke's most beloved daughter, a descendant of the Tong family, and the daughter of one of the enemies who killed your mother! It is very important.
, you can punish the Tong family by making me unhappy."
Xuan Jinmo frowned and said hesitantly: "No -"
"Xuan Jinmo, would you lie to me once?" Tong Xiaoye's tears fell and she said blankly, "Please lie to me once, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on, I'm afraid I'll leave you, I'm afraid! Please tell me
Me, you love me, you like me, you care about me, give me a reason to hold on, I want to stay where you are, I am afraid that I will run away, I am afraid, -"
Tears fell silently to the ground. Tong Xiaoye breathed quietly, her voice choked with sobs. When she washed her hands, the rolled up clothes and the dazzling blood marks on her arms reminded her that the poison was getting more and more powerful in her body. She was afraid that she would be very sick.
Leave quickly, there will be no chance to guard Xuan Jinmo again.
She wanted to hear him say that he liked her, even if it was just to lie to her.
Xuan Jinmo was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Xiaoye, I like you."
Tong Xiaoye smiled bitterly and said with tears in her eyes: "Thank you."
Xuan Jinmo's heart tightened and he felt an inexplicable discomfort. He looked at Tong Xiaoye and said slowly: "Come here, come to me."
