The two of them looked at each other and refused to give in.

In the end, Rong Zhan broke the silence first. “Those who are not involved, please leave.”

Gu Qingxue loosened her clenched fists and watched Fu Cheng and the others quickly leave the flower hall with Huang Rongfa. Liu Yi and another secret guard closed the door of the flower hall and stood guard outside.

In just a few breaths, only Gu Qingxue and Rong Zhan were left in the flower hall.

“Come here,” Rong Zhan ordered while looking at Gu Qingxue.

Gu Qingxue looked indifferent. She quickened her steps and pulled a chair to sit in front of Rong Zhan. “Young Master, please reach out your hand. I’ll take your pulse.”

Rong Zhan looked at Gu Qingxue. Seeing her lowered eyes and her neither servile nor overbearing manner, he reached out his hand cooperatively. Gu Qingxue’s slightly cold fingertips rested on Rong Zhan’s wrist.

Suddenly, a strange feeling came over, and Rong Zhan could not help but take another look at Gu Qingxue.

However, Gu Qingxue did not have any distracting thoughts. When she was checking his pulse, she frowned slightly.

“Young Master, if I’m not mistaken, the poison that you’ve been poisoned is definitely not something that happened in a day or two. This poison has already penetrated into your bone marrow. Young Master has a splitting headache every day, and you can’t sleep at night. If it weren’t for the protection of the genuine Qi in your body and the protection of your internal energy, I’m afraid you would have died from the poison long ago,” Gu Qingxue said, and she could not help but take another look at Rong Zhan.

The poison that Rong Zhan had been poisoned by was far more troublesome than she had imagined.

This kind of poison was no longer a poison that could be diagnosed just by checking one’s pulse. If one wanted to detoxify the poison, they needed to test Rong Zhan’s fresh blood before they could prescribe the right medicine.

“So, do you have a way to help me detoxify the poison?” Rong Zhan looked at Gu Qingxue and asked in return.

“It should be said that no one in this world can do it except for me.” Gu Qingxue raised her eyebrows, she looked at Rong Zhan and demanded, “Close your eyes. I want to check your condition further. In order to prevent you from stealing my skills, I can’t let you see what I’m going to do next.”

Rong Zhan’s face darkened, and he closed his eyes with a snort of disdain.

Secretly learning? It was just a way to treat his illness. He was not interested in secretly learning.

Gu Qingxue was not at ease. She was going to draw Rong Zhan’s blood to prepare for the test. If this person saw something that she shouldn’t see and exposed the existence of the research lab, she would suffer a great loss!

Thus, Gu Qingxue thought for a moment, then took out the handkerchief that she had brought with her and wrapped it around Rong Zhan’s eyes, adding a layer of insurance.

On the handkerchief, the faint fragrance of a woman’s body entered Rong Zhan’s breath uncontrollably.

He had never been close to women, so he felt disgusted when he smelled the fragrance of rouge and powder.

However, the fragrance on Gu Qingxue’s handkerchief was faint and carried the smell of some unique medicinal herbs. Not only did it not disgust him, but it also made him feel a little familiar.

However, Rong Zhan did not have time to think about it. He could clearly feel Gu Qingxue pulling open his sleeve and inserting the long needle into his blood vessels.

The piercing pain caught Rong Zhan off guard.

“Please bear with it, Young Master. It might hurt a little. It will be fine in a while,” Gu Qingxue said gently.

“It’s okay,” Rong Zhan said lightly when he heard Gu Qingxue’s advice.

Gu Qingxue realized that she was comforting Rong Zhan just now.

It seemed that she was really influenced by the three children. She softened her tone and almost thought Rong Zhan was one of them.

However, Rong Zhan was already so old. He should not be considered a child, but an adult giant baby, right?
