The Command to Pamper the Husband - Chapter 150
Song Jin wished she could rush into the dark room and finish off Shen Yue, that vile wretch, with a single stroke. Was this really something a man should do? However, no matter how angry she was, she couldn’t kill Shen Yue since that vile person was still using her body.
Truly…
Song Jin ground her teeth in anger.
“Is she dead?” Song Jin’s voice was cold as she spoke.
Lu Zhan immediately shook his head. “No, they are all…”
Song Jin interrupted him, “Bring the person to me.”
Lu Zhan looked at Song Jin, hesitation visible in his eyes. Song Jin sneered. “What are you hesitating for? If you delay any longer, your master will return to his homeland with my body! Bring the person here.”
Lu Zhan clenched his fists and immediately walked out.
As soon as he left, Wan Xi angrily sat beside Song Jin, picked up chopsticks, and put a piece of spicy sliced beef into her mouth. Her cheeks puffed out as she spoke, “Miss, they are truly too much. Let’s leave quickly and not stay with them anymore.” As she spoke, Wan Xi kept stuffing food into her mouth, as if she hadn’t eaten in a long time.
Song Jin glanced at her but didn’t have much appetite herself. Leaving just like that? Actually, it wasn’t impossible. After all, she had traveled from another time, and it didn’t matter whose body she used. Besides, she had used Shen Yue’s body for a longer time. But she felt that if she really left just like that, she would be letting down the original owner, and her conscience wouldn’t let her rest. She also couldn’t bear to see the original owner’s father sad. Moreover, with Shen Yue’s status as a prince, where could she go if she left?
So~
They were essentially bound together with no solution. Song Jin sighed heavily in her heart. What a situation!
While they were talking, Lu Zhan returned with four men whose faces were ashen. Each of them had a glint in their eyes that could almost pierce through Lu Zhan. As soon as they entered, the four men knelt respectfully before Song Jin.
“Greetings, Miss.”
Song Jin’s eyes were cold as she swept her gaze over them. “How can you prove that you were sent by my father?”
Lu Zhan was stunned but then understood what Song Jin meant. She was worried that he had swapped people and planted spies around her. Lu Zhan smiled bitterly. “Miss Song, I…”
Song Jin’s sharp gaze swept over him, making Lu Zhan’s heart tremble, and he shut his mouth. He had never seen Miss Song angry before. This was the first time, and to his surprise, she was so imposing that her gaze made him feel fear. Lu Zhan closed his mouth.
Song Jin looked at the four men. Their faces didn’t show any anger but rather a look of relief. Song Jin… What the heck?
The leader took out a small jade gourd from his chest and handed it over. “This is given to me by the master.”
Song Jin didn’t take it but just glanced at it. In the original owner’s memory, there was such a gourd. There was a crack on the waist of the gourd, which was left when the original owner accidentally dropped it as a child. In this world, there couldn’t be an identical crack. Song Jin nodded. “Get up, and follow me from now on.”
The four of them had a faint blush of embarrassment on their faces, thinking about being knocked out earlier.
As they were talking, Wan Xi suddenly fell face-first onto the table in front of her.
Bang~
A loud noise echoed. In front of Wan Xi was a pot of boiled fish. Wan Xi plunged headfirst into it without hesitation.
Song Jin…
Everyone…
Song Jin, quick-eyed and deft, immediately grabbed Wan Xi by the back of her neck and pulled her out of the pot. “How tired are you to fall asleep while eating…”
Before she could finish, Song Jin’s voice abruptly stopped. Wan Xi was not asleep; she had no consciousness at all. Just a moment ago, she was lively and energetic, but now she had lost consciousness completely. Wan Xi had only eaten these dishes.
Song Jin’s face turned cold, and she immediately picked Wan Xi up in her arms. “Why are you still standing there? Prepare a cloth!”
Lu Zhan was so scared he almost cried. Watching Wan Xi, Lu Zhan felt like his heart was breaking. What happened to Wan Xi? He had never felt so distressed, anxious, and worried before…
Stumbling, Lu Zhan rushed out, then hurried back with water and a cloth. He wanted to personally wipe the oil from Wan Xi’s face, but Song Jin glared at him coolly.
An undercover guard standing at the table had already tested the food with a silver needle. “Miss, it’s Cold poison.”
Song Jin’s hand, which was wiping oil off Wan Xi’s face, trembled heavily, and she looked back in shock at the guard. “What?”
The guard’s face was calm. “Cold poison. Cold poison is…”
He thought Song Jin didn’t understand what Cold poison was and was about to explain when Song Jin raised her hand to stop him.
This poison couldn’t have come from the restaurant. Cold poison wasn’t something just anyone could get their hands on. Moreover, in the capital, there were plenty of people who wanted Shen Yue dead. Shen Yue’s personal bodyguards would naturally check any purchased food to ensure its safety.
As for the Crown Prince… The food was bought for her and Wan Xi. The Crown Prince might poison Shen Yue, but he wouldn’t poison her. If the Crown Prince wanted to poison her, there would be no need for the three-day agreement. Nor would he need to leave such a letter on Shen Yue’s body.
Then the poison… Song Jin’s icy gaze turned to Lu Zhan. At this point, how could Lu Zhan not understand? It was the miracle physician who had tricked him. The miracle physician had already sprinkled the water on the food when he wasn’t paying attention, and then he had refilled the cup.
In other words, it didn’t matter whether he was ruthless or not; it was already too late.
Looking at Wan Xi lying on the bed with a pale face, Lu Zhan felt as if his heart was being pierced by thousands of arrows. He didn’t know why he felt so much pain, but seeing Wan Xi like this, he felt like he couldn’t breathe.
“I… I’ll go find the antidote.”
Lu Zhan, heartbroken, was about to run out. He was going to find that damn old man!
Song Jin ignored him. Cold poison’s poison could only be cured by the voluntary blood of the poisoner. There was no other way.
Wan Xi’s poison was inflicted by that old man, so naturally, it required his blood to cure it. And that old man wasn’t targeting Wan Xi, but her, Song Jin. That old man actually knew…
Song Jin clenched her fists tightly and said to the guard, “How many people know about my situation?”
Song Jin’s question wasn’t clear, but the guard understood. The leader of the guards respectfully cupped his fists. “Back then, to detoxify Miss’s body, the master did indeed have the miracle physician by the Fourth Prince’s side try.”
To others, this might be completely unintelligible. But Song Jin understood.
The original owner had been poisoned with a kind of poison called Thousand Mechanisms Poison since birth. This poison, when triggered, would cause unbearable pain. Originally, with this poison, the original owner wouldn’t have survived past the first month, but somehow, the poison seemed to have slept, and she grew up safely.
Of course, this matter was originally hidden from her by Master Song. It was only by overhearing a conversation between Master Song and Han Bo that the original owner learned about it and remembered.
She also remembered one thing: If Thousand Mechanisms Poison came into contact with Cold poison, it would cause the pain of being eaten by thousands of insects. Of course, this pain could be relieved with an antidote.
