This sudden turn of events made it hard for Yao Sisi to adapt. Initially, she thought that she would not let her off easily after giving her a slap on the face. However, she suddenly saw Zuo Rulan Fan laughing bitterly with every word full of mockery and belittling him. Was this still that proud and aloof man?
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of fresh blood splattered on the ground. Under the cover of the night, they could only see a strange dark red liquid reflecting on the grass.
Zuo Rulan Fan slumped against the wall. Yao Sisi recovered from her state of shock and quickly rushed over to hug his falling body. She said in an extremely low voice, "Hey, Zuo Rulan Fan! What's wrong with you? That slap just now shouldn't have killed you right? "
How could she still hear Yao Sisi's words? Yao Sisi quickly regained her rationality and placed her hand on Zuo Hongfan's wrist. After a moment, she let out a sigh, "Not bad, it's just an attack on my heart!"
However, her heart which had just calmed down was immediately troubled again. In the middle of the night, she couldn't tell where she was at the moment. Although Zuo Rulan Fan wasn't fat, she was still a girl and couldn't drag her away.
After thinking about it, she helplessly chose to accompany Zuo Rulan Fan here to feed the mosquitoes.
Smack!
Yao Sisi couldn't remember how many times she had slapped him, and she couldn't sit still any longer. She rolled her eyes at the ignorant Zuo Rulan Fan. She couldn't just sit there and wait for the mosquitoes to eat, so she quickly came up with an idea.
She had spent a lot of effort to move Zuo Rulan Fan to a big tree, worried that if he drank too much, he would get cold from the wind, so she came over and spread a large piece of grass on him, as if something had moved in the grass. Yao Sisi looked puzzled, but she didn't see anything different, so she took advantage of the lightness to leap up to the tallest roof nearby. It was said that mosquitoes rarely flew high into the air, it wasn't that she didn't want to bring Zuo Rulan up, it was just that she couldn't carry her all the way up to the third floor.
The grass started to move, and a meter long mollusk slowly climbed onto Zuo Rulan Fan's chest. Its two small eyes cautiously looked into Zuo Rulan Fan's closed eyes, quietly forming a counterbalance. However, as Zuo Rulan Fan unconsciously turned around, the snake was frightened, and it quickly fled while taking a bite on Zuo Rulan Fan's left shoulder.
Ah!
Zuo Ruping opened her eyes in pain, and subconsciously, she reached out to wipe her sore spot. She saw that there was no liquid on her finger, but it had been bitten by a mosquito. "What is it?"
"I was bitten by a mosquito."
"A mosquito bite? Is there really a need for you to be so loud?"
Yao Sisi's eyes were full of reproach.
After recovering from his stupor, Zuo Lifan was surprised that Yao Sisi didn't leave. He subconsciously looked at the situation around him, then waved his hand to clear the weeds around him. The corner of his mouth twitched, but at this moment, he felt a burning sensation on his left shoulder, accompanied with a sharp pain that made him realize that his left shoulder wasn't bitten by a mosquito.
He quickly tore off his robe in alert. With the clarity of a warrior's vision, he saw that his left shoulder was purple and the two teeth marks on his wound were very obvious. He was sure that he had been bitten by a poisonous snake just now.
Yao Sisi, who was studying medicine, could naturally tell. She exclaimed, "You've been bitten by a poisonous snake!"
How could she be so unlucky? She didn't bring him here to feed the mosquitoes, but rather the poisonous snakes, which made her feel quite depressed. But now was not the time to be depressed, so she quickly took out three silver needles from her bosom.
It took close to half an hour to force the poisonous blood out of Zuo Lifan's body. The stench of blood on the ground caused Yao Sisi to frown. She supported the weakened Zuo Lifan under one of the eaves.
However, after half an hour had passed, Zuo Rulan began to tremble and tremble all over, blood trickling out from the corner of her mouth from time to time. Yao Sisi was truly afraid now, but fortunately, it was already dawn by the time she rushed into a courtyard and found the owner of the house, who was still sleeping.
Pushing the door open, he took three steps to the bed and forcefully pulled open the bed curtain, stretching out his hand to grab it! She shamelessly grabbed the half-naked man on the bed and threw him. There was no helping it, she was anxious, so she could only use an unusual method to wake people up. She had to hurry and find the imperial physician for Zuo Rulan Fan's condition.
"How do we get back to the capital's Prosperous Street from here?"
Helpless, Yao Sisi could only act as a female bandit. She dragged the unlucky man with him as she carried the unconscious Zuo Rulan Fan onto the streets of Chang Sheng. She rented a horse carriage and sped towards the direction of the Fourth Princess.
An hour later, after the imperial physician had gone through the palace, he brought out a piece of good news and a piece of bad news.
The bad news was that this snake was the rarest of the seven days of cough. Even though there was only a small amount of poison left, it still couldn't be underestimated. In the next seven days, Zuo Rulan Fan would vomit blood frequently, and there was no other way but to rely on his desire to live.
Without a doubt, this was a result that Yao Sisi had not expected. She found a quiet room and opened the medical book, quickly flipping through it, hoping to find a solution. Unfortunately, she did not mention a single word about this "Seven Day Cough".
Helpless, she could only dejectedly return to Zuo Lifan's room. Currently, the room was completely surrounded by people, and even Meng Qinglian, who should have been lying in the room, had come. She only saw Meng Qinglian covering her face as she lightly cried.
"I want to protect Your Highness. I'm fine."
Zuo Rulan Fan's eyes froze when he saw Yao Sisi. He then looked coldly at Youlan, the servant girl behind Meng Qinglian, and said, "How did you take care of your young lady? Quickly take your young lady back and rest. Don't spread the news of your king being bitten by a snake to your mother's ears."
"Yes."
You Lan walked over to help Meng Qinglian up. She said gently, "Miss, you are still weak. Can I help you back?"
Meng Qinglian's eyes never left Zuo Rulan. Anyone could see the pleading look in her eyes. However, Zuo Rulan didn't change her decision. Instead, her face turned even more unsightly, "Go back!"
Meng Qinglian was injured as she blessed herself. "Your highness, please take good care of yourself."
When she saw Yao Sisi again, her footsteps paused for a moment. Without saying anything, she quickly crossed the threshold. The mist in her eyes even made Yao Sisi's heart ache when she saw it.
How could she not know at this time that this man had suppressed the matter of her being poisoned and did not want Meng Qinglian to be worried about him?
"Thank you, Lady Doctor, for sending This King back."
She looked at the pale-faced Zuo Ran Fan. This man actually said thanks to her, the culprit. Did she hear him correctly? However, she was so happy that she wasn't suspected, and she also didn't mean it. Thus, she smiled awkwardly and said, "Hehe, you are joking. I should be the one thanking you for not investigating and protecting me."
