Liu Zimo's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Xia Luotong in his arms. He suddenly took out a handkerchief, touched the blood on her lips, and then put it back into his sleeve.
He couldn't diagnose her pulse, so he naturally didn't know what her current condition was. After thinking about it, he decided to send her to the hospital first.
But when he had just picked up Xia Luotong, before he could take a step, the clothes on his chest suddenly tightened.
He looked down and saw that the person in his arms was grabbing his clothes, looking at him with half-opened beautiful phoenix eyes, full of forbearance.
"Medicine... on your body..."
The clear whisper escaped from her pale lips, so weak that it seemed as if it would disappear at any time.
"You mean you have medicine on you?" Liu Zimo seemed to understand what she meant and confirmed to her.
Xia Luotong nodded with difficulty and raised the hand that had just grabbed his shirt.
"But in the sleeve pocket of this hand?" Seeing her nod again, Liu Zimo turned around and walked to the seat at the edge of the pavilion, put her on the chair and leaned on his shoulder.
Holding up her hand, he reached into her sleeve pocket to search, and sure enough he found a small medicine bottle.
There were several pills in the medicine bottle, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance. He took out one of them and fed it into her mouth. His fingertips passed across her lips, and there was a cool but soft touch.
Feeling the fleeting beautiful touch, his eyes darkened, and an undercurrent seemed to arouse in his eyes.
Looking at the woman leaning on his shoulder, after taking the medicine for a while, her complexion gradually improved, her lip color returned to ruddy, and the pain between her eyebrows also faded away.
When she finally recovered, she opened her watery eyes, which had returned to calm.
Realizing that he was leaning on the strange man, Xia Luotong stood up quickly: "Thank you for your help, sir. I really caused trouble to you today. I'm extremely sorry."
She felt very upset. She didn't expect that not only would she implicate innocent passers-by, but she would also become poisonous in front of outsiders. It must be because of today's repeated encounters that her energy and physical strength were exhausted, which led to the poisoning.
"Girl, don't worry about it. This is not what the girl wanted to do. I haven't asked her her name yet. I wonder if it's convenient?" Liu Zimo saw the look of annoyance between her eyebrows, and the smile on his face became deeper.
"My name is Atong." Although Xia Luotong felt that the two of them were just passers-by, meeting by chance and never seeing each other again, so there was no need to leave their names, but the other party helped him after being dragged down by him, so after thinking about it, he still said .
"Miss A Tong, I'm Liu Zimo. The girl seemed to be a little unwell just now, but she's feeling better now? Do you want me to accompany you to the medical clinic?" Liu Zimo cupped his hands with a smile, with concern on his face. asked.
Atong, she doesn’t even have a last name. I just don’t know if it’s one of the characters in her name or if she just made it up.
Being so cautious, it seems that his identity is a bit hidden and it is not convenient to reveal it.
"Thank you Mr. Liu, A Tong is fine now. He has seen the doctor before and received medicine. He is undergoing treatment now. There is no need to go to the hospital anymore." Xia Luotong declined the other party's kindness.
Although Mr. Liu seemed to be a very gentle and kind person, Xia Luotong felt vaguely that he was a very dangerous person. The danger may not be directed at her, but it was better to keep a distance.
Having been in danger all year round in her previous life, her perception was particularly keen, and it was precisely because of this perception that she managed to survive until adulthood, so she has always believed in her perception.
In addition to feeling that Mr. Liu was somewhat dangerous, she herself had experienced the torture of poisonous hair and was already very tired, so she immediately proposed the idea of leaving without waiting for him to say anything else.
"Mr. Liu, A Tong is really tired so I'll leave now. We'll see you again in the future."
Xia Luotong saluted as he spoke. When he saw that the other party also saluted back to him, he stopped lingering and turned straight out of the pavilion, gradually disappearing into the crowd.
Liu Zimo did not try to keep her because he knew that they would definitely meet again in the future.
Recalling the scene in the alley just now, his eyes were full of interest.
Although most people would not notice the powder she spread with her hand, and the extremely subtle movements she made when passing by He Jingyao, he could clearly see them.
Considering that she once said that she was good at detoxifying, it seems that she is also very good at poisoning.
Liu Zimo looked at the direction Xia Luotong was leaving, with a meaningful smile on his lips.
What an interesting person...
Chen Mansion in Beijing, in the back garden.
Today, the Chen Mansion held a banquet, and many family members of officials came. At this time, they gathered in the garden to enjoy flowers, drink tea, and chat. There are countless such banquets in Beijing, and they are one of the main activities for nobles to kill time, chat and gossip.
In a secluded pavilion, there was a noble-dressed lady sitting opposite an elegant young lady. The maids they brought with them were standing outside the pavilion to avoid hearing the conversation of the masters. At the same time, he also took on the responsibility of looking out for the wind and blocking the approach of other people.
"...Since Miss Liu has the same purpose as mine, I will tell Miss Liu one more thing." The noble lady stroked the bright red Dankou on her nails, with a somewhat proud smile on her face.
"Mrs. Xia, please speak." Liu Yingxue looked at Mrs. Li opposite, with a signature soft smile on her face.
The noble lady she called Mrs. Xia in front of her was Li Shi, the royal wife of the Xia family of the Ministry of Rites, Xia Luotong's current mistress.
Liu Yingxue looked at Li's pampered look and couldn't help but sneer in her heart. This woman thought she was a successful person, but in her opinion, she was just a fool.
As for what kind of person Xia Zhihe is, although she is just a boudoir lady, she knows a lot.
He needs to be capable but not capable, and he needs to have no background. He got to where he is now because of his face, and he seduced the Li family's precious daughter Li. Without the help of the Li family, how could he have the ability to sit in the second-ranking position now? seat.
But this is Xia Zhihe's limit, and it is impossible to climb any higher.
It sounds nice to say that he is a dignified minister of the second rank, but he is just a dog of the Li family. If the Li family asks him to go east, he will never dare to go west. Otherwise, if the Li family allows him to climb to his current position, he will be able to move him in the future. Pull it off!
Only a brainless woman like Mr. Li would look down on such a useless man, and he was a scumbag who forced his first wife to death.
Now, in order to send the daughter of his original wife to the palace, he even resigned himself to being a step-mother. He dared to pretend in front of her with such a ridiculous status.
Li didn't know Liu Yingxue's inner thoughts, so she spoke with pride.
"That bastard has been fed medicine by me since he was a child. He shouldn't be able to survive for a few days."
"What?!"
