Chapter 87

I visited four more medical clinics, two of them were closed, and the doctors at both hospitals all said the same thing.

On the way back to the Hou Mansion, Yu Qingfeng came to the conclusion: "It must be a drug with very low toxicity, maybe through breathing or skin contact, and the purpose is to scare us away. It is estimated that it will be metabolized by itself in a few days."

.”

"Are you really not afraid?" Pei Wuyan's eyes were deep, trying to see through the fear in Yu Qingfeng's heart.

To be honest, Yu Qingfeng was afraid, not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of what might happen. What if Cao Ruyi was blinded by hatred and conscience, and killed innocent people indiscriminately?

"It's best to ask Cao Ruyi to hand over the antidote." Yu Qingfeng smiled bitterly and implicitly admitted that she was afraid, "We will go find her again tomorrow and we must have a good talk with her."

"If I were her, I would definitely not hand over the antidote." Lian Shurong said firmly.

"What should we do?" Yu Qingfeng was so anxious that she didn't even bother to cover it up, and simply expressed her inner fear openly.

The three cobblers were silent, each thinking about countermeasures.

"It's really unlucky. First he was given the Seven-Day Soul-Destroying Pill, then his wrists were squeezed and his neck was pinched, and then he was almost buried in the tomb. Now it's the turn of some poison that kills his life."

Yu Qingfeng muttered to herself vaguely, lamenting her ill-fated fate after time travel. She really didn't know how long her good luck could last. Now she could be regarded as Pei Wuyan, the official match of the male protagonist, and she had the halo of the female protagonist.

"If Cao Ruyi is willing to hand over the antidote, I can let her go." After thinking for a long time, Pei Wuyan made a decision.

Yu Qingfeng couldn't believe it, "Master Pei is willing to let a murderer go for me?"

"I was hesitant. After all, Cao Ruyi was miserable. It was not easy to survive by chance."

After Lian Shurong thought deeply, he suddenly remembered something and waved his hands anxiously:

"Wait a minute, your decisions are based on the premise that He Xiangu is Cao Ruyi. Well, if so, I also sympathize with Cao Ruyi. Anyway, Jia Qin was not killed by her, she only took Cao Dayong's life. But

The question is, what if He Xiangu is not Cao Ruyi? Didn’t we let a prisoner go?"

Lin Ming nodded, "Yes, we don't have any evidence to prove that He Xiangu is Cao Ruyi. If she is Cao Ruyi, then her legs are disabled and it is impossible for her to kill Cao Dayong herself. There must be an accomplice; if she is not Cao Ruyi,

Ruyi, the disability in her legs is fake. She personally killed Cao Dayong. If we let her go, we are letting a murderer go."

Yu Qingfeng still believed in the routine, "She must be Cao Ruyi. Not only did she appear at the same time, but her nervous reaction when she heard Mr. Pei's message of 'returning the perfect jade to Zhao' showed everything."

Lin Ming raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Qingfeng, why don't we make a bet."

"Betting on whether Fairy He is Cao Ruyi?" Yu Qingfeng guessed the title of the game and almost guessed the bet.

"Yes. Shu Rong and I agree. We both believe that Cao Ruyi is dead and that He Xiangu is not Cao Ruyi." Lin Ming turned to Pei Wuyan and asked, "Whose side does Mr. Pei stand on? Are you participating?"

Yu Qingfeng thought that Pei Wuyan would definitely be with her, and waited confidently for Pei Wuyan to express his stance.

"Childish, I won't participate."

Yu Qingfeng was greatly disappointed.

"Qingfeng, if I win, you have to carry the jade pendant I gave you with you. If you win, you set the conditions. How about a bet?"

Yu Qingfeng had no reason not to bet, "Okay, bet. If I win, Mr. Lin, please take back the gift of the jade pendant. It's too expensive and I can't bear it."

The meaning of Yu Qingfeng's words was more straightforward and easy to understand than the previous hint to He Xiangu.

What made Lin Ming take back was not just a jade pendant, but also emotions that she could only politely decline.

Lin Ming was also a smart man. He understood immediately and smiled bitterly, "Deal."

When the group returned to the Hou Mansion, Yu Qingfeng went to visit Tian Lei again and was slightly relieved to see that his condition had improved.

When she returned to the door of her room, she saw that the door was wide open. Yu Qingfeng expected that Pei Wuyan was visiting.

Yu Qingfeng stepped into the room, turned around and closed the door, quickly walked to the table and sat across from Pei Wuyan.

"Not joining the gambling game is not because of naivety, but because... lack of confidence." Pei Wuyan got straight to the point.

Sure enough, Pei Wuyan is the male protagonist with the least self-confidence that Yu Qingfeng has ever seen.

"You shouldn't bet with Lin Ming either." Pei Wuyan had no self-confidence and wanted to take away Yu Qingfeng's self-confidence.

"What are you afraid of? Even if you lose, the worst thing you can do is wear that jade pendant." Yu Qingfeng was heartless.

"You don't care. Have you ever considered how it feels to see someone wearing a jade pendant dazzling in front of you all day long?" Pei Wuyan rolled his eyes at Yu Qingfeng, turned away and muttered in a low voice.

"Then, how about," Yu Qingfeng asked with a wicked smile, "I wear the jade pendant close to my body under my clothes so that you can't see or worry?"

Pei Wuyan's hands on the table clenched for a moment, and then he realized that he was overreacting, "Wear it however you like, and I don't have a problem with eating it."

Yu Qingfeng admired Pei Wuyan's expression that swung back and forth between arrogance and jealousy, and smiled mischievously.

"Oh Lord Pei, you also think He Xiangu is Cao Ruyi, don't you? Believe me, we two will definitely win."

How can Yu Qingfeng let Pei Wuyan know that he is the luckiest person in this dimension?

"I advise you to listen to Lin Ming's opinions more." Pei Wuyan stopped being awkward.

Yu Qingfeng was surprised. Could it be that Pei Wuyan wanted to push her into Lin Ming's arms because he was too unsure?

"If we really reach a deal with He Xiangu tomorrow and get the antidote, we will let He Xiangu go." Pei Wuyan frowned slightly, his face full of worry and confusion, "Is this really okay?"

It's over, it's over, the backbone is confused, and Yu Qingfeng is even more confused.

"Then, I'll go see a few more doctors tomorrow. If they all say I'm not poisoned..."

"No, your safety is the most important thing." Pei Wuyan interrupted Yu Qingfeng, "I can't take this risk. I just can't figure out when and where she poisoned you. It's obvious that we have always been together."

Yu Qingfeng's heart felt warm and she wished she could give Pei Wuyan a bear hug.

Pei Wuyan suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Yu Qingfeng. He slowly reached into his left sleeve with his right hand, took out a small object, placed it on the palm of his hand, and moved it in front of Yu Qingfeng.

"I agreed to give you a New Year gift. I don't count the green phoenix and jade hairpin. I'll give this to you." Pei Wuyan's voice became weaker and weaker.

Yu Qingfeng couldn't help but admire Pei Wuyan's shy look, her eyes were completely attracted by the gift.

It was a bracelet woven with cyan silk thread, and in the center of the bracelet was still a cyan flower woven with cyan silk thread.

The flower has three layers of petals from the inside to the outside, and each petal has a sharp angle. This looks much more complicated than the various Chinese knots that Yu Qingfeng has seen.

"You, where did you buy it?" Yu Qingfeng recalled the time she went shopping with Pei Wuyan years ago, and she had never seen this bracelet. If she had seen it, she would definitely buy it.

"I didn't buy it."

"That was—you asked a craftsman to make it up?"

Pei Wuyan still shook his head.

Yu Qingfeng tilted her head in confusion.

"I made it up." After a long time, Pei Wuyan looked up and saw that Yu Qingfeng was still waiting for the answer, and softly uttered three words.

Yu Qingfeng grabbed the bracelet and observed it carefully.

"What are you looking at? There will be evidence here to prove that it was me or not I made it up?" Pei Wuyan asked with a smile.

A grown man can actually weave a bracelet with silk thread!

Yu Qingfeng looked up at Pei Wuyan, wishing she could dislocate her jaw.

"It's not gold, silver, jewelry or jade, it's not even as good as Lin Ming's Green Phoenix Jade Pendant, it's just the most worthless silk thread. If you dislike it..."

Pei Wuyan didn't wait for Yu Qingfeng to express his position. He pursed his lips in embarrassment, avoided Yu Qingfeng's eyes, muttered in a low voice, and reached out to take the bracelet back.

Yu Qingfeng let Pei Wuyan take away the bracelet in her hand.

The two of them were silent, and the atmosphere was a bit tense.

It wasn't that Yu Qingfeng didn't want to talk, she was just too upset and didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, Yu Qingfeng clenched her fist and punched quickly, her fist staying in front of Pei Wuyan.

Pei Wuyan shrank his neck, and he was so surprised that he suffered from aphasia, but the expression on his face said: politeness is light but affection is heavy, why don't you hit me?

Yu Qingfeng realized that she was too nervous, so she clenched her fists, and quickly stretched out her palms. As a result, her fingertips directly poked Pei Wuyan's chin.

Just as Pei Wuyan was about to ask questions, Yu Qingfeng's tongue finally recovered its function.

"Put it on for me."

Pei Wuyan swallowed the words of blame that came to his lips, a blush appeared on his face, and he obeyed as if he was under a spell. He took out the bracelet, gently put it on Yu Qingfeng's wrist, and slowly tightened it.

Yu Qingfeng quietly enjoyed the ritual feeling that made her heart beat faster, and suddenly felt that it was not just her wrist that was caught by the bracelet.

She seemed trapped.

He raised his eyes and met Pei Wuyan's eyes.

With such a pretty face and such a considerate person, it's too inhumane for her to not be sincere, right?

"Why not Phoenix?" Yu Qingfeng retracted her wrist, gently rubbed the bracelet with her right hand, and murmured.

Pei Wuyan stuttered, "What are you kidding? Do you really think I'm a craftsman from Sizhenfang, making a phoenix?"

Yu Qingfeng was amused, "It's hard to weave even a flower. It turns out that Mr. Pei's hobbies are this kind of little girl's stuff. Really, really..."

Pei Wuyan bit his lip and complained aggrievedly, "I gave you a gift, only to get ridiculed."

"I'm not making fun of you. I really think Mr. Pei's hobbies are very, very cute... just like Mr. Pei himself - cute."

Pei Wuyan grimaced, feeling embarrassed, "Cute? You'd better give it back to me. I'd rather give it a richer gift. I know I shouldn't give you this..."

Pei Wuyan refused to say anything and reached out to grab Yu Qingfeng's left hand.

Yu Qingfeng hurriedly stood up and hid, put her hands behind her back, and held her left wrist tightly with her right hand, "How can there be any reason to go back to the things you gave away? I don't even want gold and silver, I just want this."

Pei Wuyan chased him all the way to the corner of the guest room and blocked Yu Qingfeng in the corner. He wanted to go around behind Yu Qingfeng, but Yu Qingfeng always turned around and faced him.

Having no other choice, Pei Wuyan attacked from both sides, wrapping his arms around Yu Qingfeng's body and behind her, holding her hands at her waist, trying to separate them and take off the bracelet.

Yu Qingfeng stepped back step by step until she could no longer retreat and her heels hit the corner.

Pei Wuyan's right hand protected Yu Qingfeng's back in time and hit the wall.

Yu Qingfeng's forehead hit Pei Wuyan's chin, and their bodies were close to each other. Only then did the two of them realize that their movements at this moment - without arms to support the wall - were unusual.
