Azure Leaf Tea had also been consumed by Yun Tianmo before, and at that time, he only felt that the tea was somewhat special, seemingly able to replenish stamina and a small amount of Mysterious Energy, but he had never thought about it in other ways. Now, with Ouyang Zixin saying it could detoxify, he suddenly found himself unsure whether to believe her.
"Trust me, it really works. I am immune to all poisons now. Just look," Ouyang Zixin eagerly wanted Yun Tianmo to believe her words. Coupled with her own concerns, she acted quickly. She gathered Mysterious Energy at her fingertips, as thin as a cicada's wing, and swiftly cut into her palm while simultaneously creating a wound on Yun Tianying, directly covering it with her hand.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye; neither Yun Tianmo nor Yun Tianying had time to react, nor could they have imagined that Ouyang Zixin would do such a thing.
"What are you doing!" Yun Tianmo slapped her hand away from Yun Tianying's wound, veins bulging on his forehead, and unprecedented anger erupted from his eyes as he glared at Ouyang Zixin, wishing he could bore a hole through her.
"I want to prove to you that I..."
"Fool!" Yun Tianmo pulled Ouyang Zixin into his embrace tightly. He was scared; at that moment, he truly feared losing her. He felt as if she would leave him alone in this world just like his older brother.
Ouyang Zixin still foolishly chuckled and said, "You're the fool! Look, I'm fine!" Suddenly, she couldn't laugh anymore because she felt a warm flow trickling down her neck...
He was crying.
At this moment, Ouyang Zixin was completely stunned. She only wanted to prove to them that after drinking Azure Leaf Tea, she was immune to all poisons and wanted Yun Tianying to drink it too. But why was Yun Tianmo crying? After being stunned for a moment, panic set in. Ouyang Zixin hurriedly patted his back to comfort him while raising her hand to show him that she was really fine...
"Enough, I know," Yun Tianmo's voice came from her neck, muffled. His warm breath sprayed out, making her feel weak all over...
Enough already, Ouyang Zixin. What are you thinking at a time like this?!
"You... you know you still..."
"Cough cough... that tea, are you going to let me drink it?" Yun Tianying coughed lightly, interrupting Ouyang Zixin's words. What a joke! With someone as prideful as Mo here and his subordinates present too, if Ouyang Zixin finished speaking, he would probably go crazy. The misfortune would not be limited to just the Shadow Guard.
"Oh right, tea! Yun Tianmo, let go of me." Ouyang Zixin pushed Yun Tianmo away. His behavior was so strange; just moments ago he was clearly worried about Yun Tianying but now he had found a way to detoxify yet still held onto her without letting her move.
The tsundere Yun Tianmo turned away from Ouyang Zixin as she released her grip, presenting a cold demeanor to everyone.
"Hey, aren't you concerned about your brother? Aren't you going to take a look?" Ouyang Zixin, holding a Water Bag filled with Azure Leaf Tea, looked puzzled. This Yun Tianmo was truly strange; she had just seemed skeptical of her, and now what did this mean? Did she believe her? So much so that she didn't even want to look?
Yun Tianying smiled at the girl who was clever in everything except when it came to Yun Tianmo. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her; she would be perfect as a Sister-in-law. "Alright, Sister-in-law, hurry up and let me drink that Azure Leaf Tea. Cough cough, I'm feeling quite unwell right now..."
"Oh, oh, drink up quickly." Ouyang Zixin handed over the Water Bag while muttering, "Have you been cursed? Why are you reacting so strangely?"
"It's not a curse; I'm sick." Yun Tianying teased, unable to resist throwing in a jab. At this moment, he was genuinely worried about whether the Azure Leaf Tea could really detoxify him. He made a face at Ouyang Zixin and asked, "Can this tea cure illness?"
"Ah?" Yun Tianmo realized he was actually sick. No wonder he was acting so strangely. Ouyang Zixin suddenly stood up and walked around Yun Tianying towards him. "Where do you feel unwell? Let me take a look."
Yun Tianmo shot a sideways glance at Yun Tianying, annoyed at his meddling. However, Yun Tianying just smiled shamelessly; someone who had already disregarded life and death wouldn't care about a mere glare.
"Don't listen to his nonsense." Yun Tianmo reached out to stop Ouyang Zixin's hand from checking his forehead and held it tightly instead. "Even if I'm sick, with you here, it's nothing."
"No way! I need to check; your neck and ears are all red!" Ouyang Zixin insisted. She didn't want Yun Tianmo to be sad over losing a loved one, nor did she want her to be upset over losing Yun Tianmo. Therefore, if he was sick, it needed to be treated promptly.
"Hahaha!" Yun Tianying's laughter broke the eerie atmosphere in the Underground Palace. He laughed so hard that he could barely catch his breath; he hardly resembled someone who had just been on the verge of poisoning to death. Meanwhile, the shadow guard stared blankly at his toes, completely devoid of presence.
"What’s wrong with them?"
"They're sick!"
"Eh?"
"About the Cicada Jade matter, are you really not going to say anything?" Yun Tianmo wanted the truth but wouldn't pressure Ouyang Zixin. This topic served mainly to divert her attention from his illness and that suspicious redness.
Sure enough, upon hearing Yun Tianmo's question, Ouyang Zixin's smile gradually stiffened until she ultimately didn't respond. She simply pleaded, "Trust me; I promise I'll tell you when the time comes."
Yun Tianying's poisoning came strangely, the detoxification process was unexpectedly smooth, but the recovery was quite normal, as the speed was maddeningly slow—
"Seventh Prince, are you still unable to walk?" the shadow guard asked.
"Yes, my legs are weak."
"Seventh Prince, can't you eat by yourself?" The shadow guard smiled bitterly.
"Yes, I can't lift my arms."
"Seventh Prince, even for basic needs..." The shadow guard was in tears.
"Yes, there's nothing I can do about it."
As a qualified shadow guard, he could make the bed, wash clothes, and cook simple meals, but he had never served someone so intimately. This was partly because Yun Tianmo had never needed it, and partly because Yun Tianmo had never needed it—essentially the same reason.
"They say illness comes like a landslide and leaves like pulling silk; I didn't expect that poisoning would be the same," Ouyang Zixin remarked as she watched the shadow guard being run ragged by Yun Tianying. She couldn't help but marvel; even when accompanied by her maid, she had never been served with such meticulous care. Indeed, royal people were different.
"Little Woman, where are you looking?" Yun Tianmo covered Ouyang Zixin's eyes with one hand and pulled her back. This Little Woman had been too restless lately; it seemed she needed some proper discipline. There were still some matters left unfinished... (To be continued.)
