Chapter 958 Preference and Exceptions
Shi Li's fainting was beyond everyone's expectations, and Cheng Xi's face changed immediately.
Prince Yu and Yang became anxious and immediately sent someone to summon the imperial physician.
In the midst of the chaos, Shi Li slowly opened her eyes, glanced at Prince Yu and his wife with guilt, and said weakly, "I didn't bring the medicine I usually take. There's no need to call the imperial physician. I'll just go back home and take the medicine."
"It would be better to call the imperial physician to take a look to be safe." The prince came over at some point and squinted his eyes at Shi Li who was leaning against Cheng Xi.
Shi Li was extremely anxious. She blinked and shed two tears. "Thank you for your concern, Prince. I have had this chronic illness for many years..."
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I will take my wife back first."
Cheng Xi's face darkened slightly and he looked at the prince intently.
Having seen Cheng Xi often allow himself to ridicule him, the prince couldn't help but take three steps back when he saw this look. Then his face turned gloomy and he said "OK" three times in a row.
The atmosphere was tense and Prince Yu didn't even dare to interrupt.
Shi Li tightly grasped the corner of Cheng Xi's clothes and looked at him eagerly.
Cheng Xi never let her down.
He bowed silently to the prince, then picked up Shi Li and carried her horizontally, walking out.
No one can stop it, no one dares to stop it.
Shi Li didn't say anything either. She just stared at Cheng Xi without blinking all the way until they walked out of Prince Yu's Mansion and got on the carriage.
The moment the carriage door closed, Shi Li jumped up like a carp and grabbed Cheng Xi's collar, "Hurry up and spit out that glass of wine!"
Cheng Xi subconsciously raised his hand to touch her cheek, but was dodged.
Then he told the coachman in a deep voice to go back home, and waited until the carriage had gone for a distance before he leaned over and stuck his head out of the window.
Shi Li stood motionless in the car as if petrified, with only her eyes following Cheng Xi, and the unpleasant and suppressed sound of retching came to her ears.
There was even a unpleasant smell of alcohol in the air.
But Shi Li didn't feel anything. She just clutched the cushion tightly and kept looking at Cheng Xi.
After a long time, Cheng Xi turned back, his face was a little pale and his lips were an unhealthy dark purple.
Shi Li took out a handkerchief and tried to wipe his lips and cheeks with trembling fingers.
"Dirty." Cheng Xi dodged and avoided his gaze.
"What are you talking about! Shut up!"
Shi Li became uncontrollably angry and wiped Cheng Xi's face and mouth with her handkerchief a few times, then threw it aside.
Cheng Xi knew what she was angry about. After hesitating for a moment, he quietly reached out and held Shi Li's hand, "You won't die."
He tried his best to spit out all the wine just now, but some of it had already poisoned his body. He didn't need to tell Shi Li about it.
Shi Li did not break free from his hand, nor did she answer him. She just frowned and urged the coachman to drive faster.
The time in the carriage was extremely painful, and we finally returned to the palace.
Shi Li ignored the looks of the servants around him, pulled Cheng Xi and walked towards his room. After entering the yard, he told the maid to call Doctor Xu immediately, then turned around and closed the door tightly.
Cheng Xi didn't know what she was going to do. Even though he was in extreme pain, he still stood silently by her side.
Shi Li's face was as gloomy as water, and she took out the necklace from her neck.
There was a very delicate key hanging on the end of the necklace. She took out a small box from the depths of the closet and opened it with the key.
There was only one thing in the box.
Shi Li took out the contents without hesitation, and then pushed them in front of Cheng Xi, "Eat quickly."
After seeing clearly what it was, even a calm person like Cheng Xi was stunned.
When Yan Yu married Cheng Danzhu, the amount of the betrothal gifts shocked the entire An Ning. The most shocking of them were the three Huandan pills.
It is said that Yan Yu risked his life to save a master in his early years, which gave him the opportunity to get three.
And now one of them is in Shi Li's hand.
On that day, Shi Li and Cheng Danzhu met in the Queen's Palace, and Cheng Danzhu secretly gave Shi Li the elixir.
"Do not."
Cheng Xi’s first reaction was to refuse.
