Gu Xijiu quickly fed him another antidote, but Hua Qianyu struggled to swallow it. Unfortunately, there was no time for Gu Xijiu to treat him at that moment. When she was about to teleport away with Hua Qianyu, he grabbed her dress. "Miss Gu!"
Gu Xijiu frowned. "Yes?"
Since he had saved Gu Xijiu's life, she was courteous to him. Hua Qianyu paused, and he seemed to feel it difficult to speak his mind. In the end, he decided to be frank. "I know that our princess is guilty, but she is so miserable as it is. Please, spare… her life."
Gu Xijiu frowned. "The reason you saved me was to ask me to return a favor?"
Hua Qianyu's eyelids seemed to close. "I hope you can promise me this one thing."
Gu Xijiu casually continued, "Did you know that I could have escaped the attack even if you did not save me?"
