After coming out of the Phoenix Pavillion, Dong Shen and Qin Xu went straight to the Shen Manor.
Qin Xu was dead tired, dealing with people in Palace was really such a hard job, thank god she doesn't have to visit that place daily.
Just as Dong Shen entered the carriage he could not control the blood surging in his chest and vomited a mouth full of black blood.
He took out a jade bottle and directly poured some pills into his mouth washing it off with some tea.
QinXu looked at him and realised that he is seriously ill, 'oh no is she going to become a young widow? '
"Your Highness are you poisoned?" ssked Qin Xu.
Dong Shen's action paused and he looked at her sharply, ' He knew he could not hide this for long but if this women told about his poisoning to anyone, even a soul it would become one of his weak point. ' Dong Shen's face darkened and a murderous gaze quickly formed in his eyes making frost appear in his eye.
Qin Xu felt the temperature drop in the carriage and the cold murderous gaze directed at her, suddenly he closed in on her and caught her throat with his long fingers instantly blocking her air flow.
Dong Shen was always very decisive always killing the problem in the bud and hence without thinking he grabbed Qin Xu throat, although he has to admit this girl looked truly mesmerizing with her dear like eyes currently looking at him with wide Bwilderment and fear, however he without battling an eye can kill her easily if she became a stumbling block for him.
Qin Xu was suffocating and due to the struggle and blockage of air flow her eyes started to tear up, her beautiful face now flushed red looked more enchanting then ever, if one looked over the fact that she was getting strangled she would have appeared like a fresh cherry right now.
Qin Xu tried to speak and gasped for air, looking at her red flushed enchanting face and beautiful doe like eyes that were now tearing something stirred within Dong Shen's heart and he felt a different kind of heat enter his body not understanding what was happening he loosed his hand and scooted back to his side.
Qin Xu coughed non stop after she found her breath, 'This guy was so dangerous out of the blue attempting to kill her. It seems like he has mental issues. '
"If you speak a word about my poisoning to anyone or if I found out that news of my poisoning got leaked by you I will make you pay for it with your life. Do you understand? "
He spoke with a cold and threat filled voice.
"Dong Shen are you crazy I was just concerned for you and asked you if you were poisoned because you spewed black blood all over this carriage floor and you tried to strangle me. " Qin Xu was enraged, she was making efforts here and trying to be cordial with him since beginning but he treated her like air and now even tried to strangle her, fine then she won't care for him anymore.
'Sure enough man's are all dogs and the one in front of her was a big mad one at that. '
"I asked you do you understand or not." Dong Shen had no effect of her badmouthing him and still repeated the question in his domineering tone.
"I know I am not a fool that i will spread it everywhere, after all we are both in the same boat now, I can't let you have any mishap otherwise won't I will also be dragged to doom along with you. " Qin Xu said with a role of her eye and all of a sudden she caught Dong Shen's wrist, feeling his pulse.
Dong Shen felt a jolt of electricity when her cool soft fingers touched his wrist it was the same when she touched him earlier in the Palace.
"Qin Xu what are you doing? "
"Taking your pulse can't you see? " Don't tell me now you are blind.
Dong Shen"... "
A look of understanding came over Qin Xu beautiful face and her expression changed from shock to understanding.
"Poisoned with Nightvenom spider poison. " Qin Xu said as if she was sure of it.
Dong Shen now realised this women who kept on giving him surprise one after anothee was not so simple, first she wasn't a fool second she knew sword fighting third she was enchantingly beautiful so much so that even his male ego was satisfied ones he saw the envious looks the princes were throwing his way and now she knew what poison he was poisoned with.
"How did you find out? "
"It's simple cause I studied medicine not only that but i also know it's antidote. " Said Qin Xu in a prideful tone .
"Speak."
"What speak. " Ask Qin Xu with confusion on his face.
"Your price for telling me the antidote. "
'Oh so this man was asking her for her price for giving him the antidote, before this she would not have charged him as she could have given him the antidote for free but now looking at his cocky behavior and the way he tried to strangle her she did not hold back anymore.'
"Hehehe... I could have given it to you for free you know but since you are so generous, firstly try not to get arrogant in front of me and dont pull the act you just pulled at me, secondly I don't want anything but a promise no not one but two promise firstly if I protect you, you protect me too second one I ll ask when I see something. "
"If you can agree to these condition feel free to come and ask for my help. "
This guy should know that it was her help he needed not the other way around.
"And never ever threaten a Qin of their life, this is my warning to you. " She said with the same domeenering tone like the one Dong Shen had used on her.
After she finished, they were already inside the Prince manor hence she quickly got out of the carriage all the while stepping on Dong Shen's feet intentionally, "ouch sorry was that your foot, oh my my so clumsy of me i did not see it, I hope the prince won't mind. " With that if he minded or not minded without asking his opinion she directly got off the carriage and strode towards the main courtyard.
She needed to be healthy and for that she needed to eat and eating was much more important than a man, 'what was a man can he be eaten NO. ' but that fragrant suckling pig and chicken dumplings can be eaten hence after setting her priorities right she asked the servant to serve her lunch.
As for Dong Shen she didn't care, after all the man just tried to strangle her in the carriage.
