Chapter 87
Qin Zhao's voice was as clear and clean as a murmuring brook, dissolving the sense of crisis conveyed in her words. On the contrary, it made Qin Zhao inexplicably feel at ease.
Qin Zhao said lightly, "If you really wanted to kill me, why did you let me have a chance to wake up?"
Qi Yan Su Luo increased the force in her hand, and the dagger cut Qin Zhao's skin.
Blood oozed from the wound, sliding down her neck and chest all the way, spreading in the water.
"I did come to kill you, but before that, you have to answer me a question first."
Qin Zhao refused immediately, "Anyway I'm going to die, why should I answer you."
"You, you..."
Qi Yan Su Luo was choked by Qin Zhao's words. She snorted lightly and said, "If your answer satisfies me, I'll spare you."
Qin Zhao: "Okay, ask."
"Do you know that the Sixth Prince put drugs in my wine last night?"
Qin Zhao: "I know."
Qi Yan Su Luo's aura suddenly became low. She changed her gesture as if she was about to take Qin Zhao's life!
Qin Zhao quickly grabbed Qi Yan Su Luo's wrist to stop her from moving further.
Then she forcibly pulled her into the bath!
Qin Zhao ruthlessly pressed the struggling Qi Yan Su Luo into the water!
502: ???????!!
Seeing that both were trying to kill each other, 502 panicked and shouted anxiously: "Host, what are you doing?! If the female lead dies, the world will collapse, and you will vanish too!"
Qin Zhao's neck was still bleeding, and the bubbles Qi Yan Su Luo spat under the water gradually diminished.
502 looked up to the sky with tears streaming down his face uncontrollably...
The water surface was still. Qin Zhao fished Qi Yan Su Luo out and put her on the shore.
At this time, Qin Zhao finally saw Qi Yan Su Luo's real face. She was indeed a peerless beauty that could be praised for thousands of years!
Qin Zhao appreciated it for a few seconds, then began to press Qi Yan Su Luo's chest to drain the water.
Finding her breath weak, Qin Zhao then performed CPR on her.
502: "Host, why do you have to? If you want to save her, why not just avoid letting her drown in the first place?"
Qin Zhao replied expressionlessly: "When you go on vacation, you eventually have to go home anyway, so why not just stay home altogether?"
502: Begin to suspect the sanity of the host.
Qi Yan Su Luo slowly opened her eyes, only to see an enlarged face with a golden mask, very close to her, still with a soft feeling on her mouth!
When she realized what the other party was doing, she pushed Qin Zhao away and wiped the water stains off her mouth. She questioned angrily, "What are you doing?!"
Qin Zhao shamelessly said, "I took advantage of you, what can you do about it?"
Qi Yan Su Luo gritted her silver teeth and said, "I've never seen such a frivolous woman like you!"
Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Oh? It seems you don't usually look in the mirror."
She pointed to the big and small marks on her body, "These are all made by you. About what happened last night, don't tell me you're trying to deny it?"
Only then did Qi Yan Su Luo notice that Qin Zhao was not wearing clothes. Looking at the bruises on it again, her face turned red instantly!
Like a boiled shrimp.
But she was still stubborn and said, "It's all because you and the Sixth Prince schemed against me together. You deserved this!"
Qin Zhao rolled her eyes. "When did I say I colluded with Qin Hong?"
"How else would you know I was drugged."
"I only found out this morning. As for how I knew, there is no need to explain to you.
Besides, why don't you blame yourself for daring to take risks without knowing Qin Hong's character?"
Qi Yan Su Luo was rendered speechless by Qin Zhao's words, perhaps unable to accept such a humiliating self.
She still said, "Anyway, I have to kill you to vent my anger!"
Qin Zhao: Oh great, an unreasonable one.
Qi Yan Su Luo got up and looked around for something.
As if by magic, Qin Zhao took out the dagger and twirled it in her hand, asking, "Miss, could this be what you're looking for?"
Qi Yan Su Luo looked at the dagger in Qin Zhao's hand and said anxiously, "Give it back to me! That's the only keepsake my brother left me!"
Qin Zhao got up quickly, took a robe from the shelf and wrapped it around her body, and said, "You want to take my life with this dagger. Do you think I will give it to you?"
After speaking, she shouted towards the door, "Come on, protect me!"
Then she turned her head to Qi Yan Su Luo and said, "You have no weapon, you can't kill me.
If you don't leave now and get caught later, you know the consequences.
If you want to live, hurry up and go!"
Qi Yan Su Luo looked at her deeply, hesitant to speak. When she turned around, she flew quickly and said, "I will come to take back the dagger you're keeping for me temporarily!"
After speaking, she escaped through the side window.
Qin Zhao went over to close the window, and her gaze barely captured the white corner of Qi Yan Su Luo's clothes disappearing over the roof.
There were no guards outside the door. Qin Zhao returned to the edge of the bath. She was going to continue bathing.
But thinking that the water was dirty now, she could only wipe herself dry and change into clean clothes before leaving the hot spring hall.
When she arrived at the main hall, Ling Long had prepared a table full of delicious food for Qin Zhao.
"Your Highness, please sit down. This slave will serve you." Ling Long said.
Qin Zhao walked to the main seat and sat down. Ling Long passed her some vegetarian dishes that the original owner used to love.
Qin Zhao said, "No need, I'll do it myself."
She had always loved meat. Eating more meat would also help restore her physical strength.
She piled a bowl full of chicken, mutton and beef for herself and ate happily.
Ling Long was dumbfounded. In order to maintain her figure, Zhao Yang Princess rarely ate greasy and heavy food.
"Your Highness..."
Ling Long stammered without finishing her sentence.
Qin Zhao guessed what she wanted to say, and simply said, "No matter what kind of person the original Zhao Yang Princess was, from now on you just need to recognize this version of Zhao Yang Princess, understand?"
Although Ling Long didn't understand certain words, she still instinctively responded, "Yes."
After dinner, Qin Zhao strolled around the mansion to aid her digestion, while memorizing the names and appearances of the maids and servants.
After sunset, she went back to the bedroom and collapsed on the canopy bed.
Before closing her eyes, 502 touted himself and said, "Host, do you need me to help you regain your health? It only costs 10,000 points! I guarantee you will be as strong as an ox after treatment. You can run up 100 floors without panting!"
"Not panting means dead. Thanks for your kindness. I want to try healing myself using the medical skills inherited from the original host.
If it really doesn't work, I'll come to you."
502: "Okay host, good night."
"Goodnight."
The next day, Qin Zhao got up.
The maids dressed her up and she had breakfast. Then she dived straight into the study.
She took out all the medical books and studied them day and night ceaselessly.
After seven days, Qin Zhao finally figured out what was wrong with her body.
She was poisoned by fire, which was like her body being in an environment above normal temperature all the time.
Some of her internal organs had already developed fibrosis. If not treated, death was imminent.
Ordinary medical books did not record how to treat fire poison, but that copy of Cure for All Diseases mentioned it.
There was a flower called You Tan Snow Lotus that was extremely cold, which happened to counteract fire poison.
Depending on the severity of poisoning, adjust the dosage of You Tan Snow Lotus.
And Qin Zhao was undoubtedly in critical condition, requiring a whole You Tan Snow Lotus!
But the problem was that this snow lotus only bloomed once every hundred years, and only existed in legends!
How to find it, and where to find it?
Just as Qin Zhao was worrying, 502 said, "There is a medicine shop in Yue Kingdom called No Illness Hall.
It has the best doctors in the world, and countless treasures.
It is an existence that even the emperor has to be in awe of.
They just happen to have a You Tan Snow Lotus there. Host can try it out."
Qin Zhao asked, "Where is No Illness Hall?"
502: "There are branches all over the country, and there is one in the Capital City."
"Okay, I'll go take a look. But they certainly won't give me this rare treasure easily.
This trip will be extremely difficult."
502 cheered Qin Zhao on, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Host, you can do it!"
"Um, I'll try my best."
25th day of the first month of the 17th year of Yuanjia Era
Qin Zhao, dressed in plain men's clothing, stood in front of No Illness Hall, staring blankly at the "Closed Today" on the big gate.
A cold wind blew by, sweeping up the fallen leaves on the ground and blowing straight at Qin Zhao's face.
Just as the leaves were about to stick to her eyes, Qin Zhao grabbed them and crushed them!
She murmured, "It took me a long time to get dressed up before coming here."
There was an indescribable sadness in her tone.
Qin Zhao sighed, turned and left.
Suddenly she heard someone shout, "Miss, please wait!"
