Seeing that Fang Zilan calmed down, Li Shengxuan breathed a long sigh of relief and relaxed a little. It's strange to say that over the years, he has seen countless storms and waves, but it is unprecedented for him to be so worried.
I don't know how much time passed, but Li Shengxuan heard Fang Zilan's voice and quickly woke up from his light sleep, "What's wrong?"
"Cold..." Fang Zilan wrapped the quilt tightly and huddled up.
Li Shengxuan stretched out his hand to cover Fang Zilan's forehead, but he couldn't feel any temperature, and everything he touched was cold.
"How could this be so..." Li Shengxuan frowned. Awan and Xia Houzhang have not returned yet, and they don't know if their search for medicine is successful. However, with Fang Zilan's current appearance, he doesn't know how long he can last.
Fang Zilan felt the source of heat, and unconsciously rubbed her forehead against Li Shengxuan's palm. His hand shrank, but she grabbed it firmly, "Don't go..."
"I won't leave." There was a hint of obvious anxiety in Li Shengxuan's voice. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, he still had to do so reluctantly.
He watched Fang Zilan's teeth chattering from the cold, and secretly screamed in his heart. If this continued, he was afraid that before A Wan and Xia Houzhang could find the medicine, she might die of cold.
"Save me..." Fang Zilan's broken words echoed in Li Shengxuan's ears. He bit his lip. In the end, the thought of saving people prevailed, surpassing all the rules.
Li Shengxuan lifted the quilt, lay next to Fang Zilan, and hugged her gently.
Feeling that there was another person on the bed, Fang Zilan's body was as tight as a bow. Even at the critical moment of life and death, she never let go of her guard.
Li Shengxuan understood in his heart and kept the hugging posture motionless. It wasn't until his arms became sore that the person in his arms relaxed a little and slowly leaned over.
Perhaps because of the constant heat transfer from the people around him, perhaps because he was really busy these days, or perhaps because of the effects of the medicine, Fang Zilan fell into a drowsy sleep, feeling rare peace and tranquility for the rest of the night.
Fang Zilan pursed her lips tightly and said calmly: "Why do I need to know this? Killing requires a life. Since King Chu Jiang has admitted it, then I will kill you."
"Killing for life?" King Chu Jiang laughed as if he heard a joke, "Zixiu, you have more lives on your hands than me. If you go by your statement, wouldn't you have to die tens of millions of times?"
"If anyone asks for my life, I will be waiting for you at any time." Fang Zilan had no expression on her face, "But King Chu Jiang, are you ready?"
King Chu Jiang glanced at her in disbelief, then looked at Ji Ningtian as if asking for help, "Young Master, Zi Xiu..."
"That's enough." Ji Ningtian interrupted him coldly. Seeing this, the corners of Fang Zilan's lips curled up slightly and he said coolly: "If I follow King Chu Jiang's words and ask, what will I hear? Is it sowing discord or framing someone? ?”
The smile on her face grew wider as she spoke, but her eyes were filled with chills, "Since you have already prepared your words, why do you care about why I am here?"
"Lan'er, even if you have to kill King Chu Jiang, there are some things you should know." Ji Ningtian looked calm and said word by word: "The person that King Chu Jiang wanted to kill was indeed Yang Zhiqing."
His eyes fell on Chakravartin and continued: "Just as Chakravartin told you."
Suspicion flashed across Fang Zilan's eyes, and Ji Ningtian turned his gaze back to her, "But things that are a foregone conclusion are always boring, so I ordered King Chu Jiang to let Yang Zhiqing make a choice - to live on his own. , Wu Sheng is still alive."
Fang Zilan took a breath, and a smile escaped Ji Ningtian's lips, "People are all extremely selfish. I thought the people under your command, Lan'er, would be different. It's a pity."
"This is just your one-sided statement, young master. Why should I believe it?" Fang Zilan looked cold, and Ji Ningtian chuckled, "Lan'er, Pei Poming and other wastes, I don't even bother to use him to make ends meet. What's more, Wu If Sheng dies, he can't escape suspicion, so why do I need to do more tricks?"
It's not that Fang Zilan didn't understand what he said. On the contrary, she had a suspicion in her mind after meeting Pei Pening. If Pei Pening had the courage to pay for murder, the Pei family would not have been supported by Pei Juqing and the Queen Mother for so many years.
However, if Yang Zhiqing designed to lure Wu Sheng out of the Ministry of Justice in order to survive... it is not impossible.
Yang Zhiqing was really anxious yesterday, and after hearing that someone from the Ministry of Punishment had died, his first reaction was Wu Sheng. She didn't have time to think about it at the time, but now that she recalled it carefully, his reaction seemed not that simple...
Ji Ningtian had enough time to look at the person in front of him who was deep in thought. Before he could add any further, he heard her say: "I will continue to investigate why Mr. Wu came to the Criminal Department. But since King Chu Jiang has confessed, I must take his life."
"Zixiu, you..." King Chu Jiang was obviously panicked, but Ji Ningtian said casually: "Lan'er, wait a minute, how about I trade one life with you?"
Fang Zilan didn't say anything, so Ji Ningtian took it as her acquiescence and said directly: "The King of Wheels secretly leaked the news to you, breaking the rules of the ghost sect, and there is only one death."
"Young Master, do you want to trade the life of King Chujiang with me for the life of King Chujiang?" Fang Zilan clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves into fists. Ji Ningtian responded: "Yes, what do you think Lan'er?"
Fang Zilan suppressed the anger in her heart. Ji Ningtian had planned to do this from the beginning, but she could only let him manipulate it, as if he was a puppet at his mercy, without saying a word of refusal.
It was clear that the relationship was a quarrel, but Ji Ningtian still maintained the dignity of each other, and she couldn't betray them rashly. Seriously, it was extremely hypocritical.
When the sky was bright, Fang Zilan woke up, and what came into view was A Wan who breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, you're awake."
Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, and the scene from last night reappeared in her mind one by one, and finally settled on the person next to her pillow. She asked involuntarily, "I remember someone sleeping in..."
"You remember it wrong!" A Wan interrupted Fang Zilan hastily, "The poison you were poisoned is quite powerful, and it is easy to have hallucinations when you are half asleep and half awake."
"Really?" Fang Zilan looked confused. She clearly remembered that she had been given half a bottle of antidote. In addition, Awan administered the injection to her, so it would not be serious anyway. Otherwise, how could she just fall into a coma? Sober overnight?
While Awan was observing Fang Zilan's expression, she recalled what she saw when she came back in the early morning. The two people sleeping in the same bed and embracing each other scared her so much that she almost fell flat. Fortunately, Xia Houzhang had quick eyesight and quick hands. He supported her with one hand and covered her mouth with the other hand, so that no noise would be caused.
But Li Shengxuan had already woken up at that time, and Awan saw the strong threat in his expression, so he understood it and pretended that nothing had happened.
