C163 (1/2)

On the fifth day after Wen Yi left the palace, Qian Shan's condition could already be considered to have stabilized. At least the fever had subsided and the acne on his face had started to scab. Thousand Mountain's face would undoubtedly leave behind scars, so when Wen Yi went out to buy some medicinal herbs, she used the treatment method to get rid of the scars on her face. The principle of the treatment method was somewhat similar to the modern, micro-needle beauty, using a roller to prick countless small holes in her face, and then apply some medicine on her face every day, waiting for the medicine to seep into her skin to stimulate her regenerative ability.

She did not bring any servants or maids with her, and went to Zhuge Ming's clinic alone.

Ever since that time, she had never seen Zhuge Ming again.

When Zhuge Ming saw that she had appeared at the entrance of the infirmary, he was obviously startled, but then he subconsciously dodged.

Wen Yi greeted him generously, ”Zhuge, long time no see!”

Zhuge Ming smiled unnaturally, ”Yes, you're out of the palace?”

Wen Yi replied: Yes, I have left the palace for a few days, and am currently staying in Sikong Residence!

”Did something happen?” he asked with concern.

Wen Yi shook her head, ”No, I just want to leave the palace to stay for a few days!” Wen Yi subconsciously hid Qian Shan's illness. In the past, she didn't hide anything from Zhuge Ming, as he was her close friend. No matter what thoughts were in her heart, whatever happened to her, she would tell Zhuge Ming. But now, looking at this unnatural man in front of her, she didn't know why, but a trace of wariness rose in her heart.

She handed him a prescription and said, ”I want the medicine!”

Zhuge Ming took the medicinal formula and looked at it, then said: ”Oh, you used it?” This can be said to be a beauty formula, many of these medicinal herbs are used to boil water or grind into powder.

”Yes!” Wen Yi said.

Zhuge Ming nodded and passed the prescription to the doctor beside him: ”I'll have to trouble you to go and get a set of medicine for Dr. Wen!”

The doctor took the prescription and left.

Wen Yi called Wen Yi into the inner hall and sat her down. A medicine boy came over to serve her tea, Wen Yi held the cup in her hand. When she sat down, she also felt that it was slightly cold.

Late autumn had already arrived.

”It's been raining for a few days, when will it stop?” Zhuge Ming got up and opened the window. A osmanthus flower entered his sight and the air was filled with the fragrance of the wet and cold osmanthus flower.

Wen Yi acknowledged, ”That's right, I wonder when it will stop!”

The atmosphere was awkward, so Wen Yi regretted coming here to get the medicine.

Finally, after a long while, Zhuge Ming said softly, ”I'm sorry!”

Wen Yi raised her eyes and looked at him, her expression somewhat cold, ”That night, you were not poisoned by anyone, right?”

Zhuge Ming laughed bitterly, ”In the end, I can't hide it from you. That's right, I knew that someone had drugged my cup that night, so I still took a sip.”

”But I wasn't drugged in my glass.” Wen Yi did not understand.

”Remember that sweet and sour fish from that night? The sour fish in front of you, your cup, and the sour fish are both drugged. The two drugs are indistinguishable from each other, but the combination of these two foods makes it a knockout drug. Plus, you drank a cup of water when you returned to the palace. You will soon lose consciousness. ” Zhuge Ming slowly said.

Wen Yi sneered and stared at her sharply, ”That's great, I didn't know you were so scheming. What was it for? You want to do this to me? Aren't you afraid that he will kill you? ”

Zhuge Ming tilted his head and smiled a little childishly, ”At that time, I didn't think too much into it, maybe it was just a moment of dizziness, or maybe Ke Er drugged me and made me lose my mind. In short, she said that he had a way of letting you leave the palace, and be with me, and I admit that I was attracted by her words, so I let her put the medicine in my cup, but the amount I drank wasn't enough to make me lose myself.”

Wen Yi became suspicious, ”But, Qian told me that she did not manage to test what was in the cup.”

”Impossible, there is still some powder at the edge of the cup. I left it there on purpose. He won't blame us if we're framed, but he's a proud man. He'll feel humiliated to see me in bed with you with his own hands, and I think he'll be willing to let you go. ” Zhuge Ming laughed desolately, ”However, I have still underestimated the feelings he has for you. He doesn't mind!”

Wen Yi's anger flared up and her breathing quickened, ”Do you really think that if I leave the palace after you plotted this against me, I would still be with you? I will only hate you! I think of you as a friend, trusting you wholeheartedly, yet you scheme me like this. I hate the feeling of being cheated, especially when that person is you. ”

Zhuge Ming stared at Wen Yi, with a pained look on his face, and said: ”You may not believe me, but after this matter, I have always felt guilty. I also do not have the face to see you and Shang Qian, I am very regretful!”

Wen Yi shook his head, and said in disappointment: ”I can't believe you are actually helping Ke Er to scheme against me, you already know that she wants to harm me, you know who she is even clearer than me, but, you actually colluded with her, Zhuge Ming, we are never friends again!”

Zhuge Ming's face was ashen as he mumbled, ”At that time, she told me that as long as you leave the palace, I would be able to guarantee your safety. My only goal was to have you leave the palace, I don't have any other perverted thoughts …” He couldn't even convince himself with these words. In the end, he lowered his head and no longer spoke.

The doctor knocked on the door and said, ”Dr. Wen, your medicine is ready!”
