Chapter 962: Protecting His Life Is Most Important

ip in the Zong family, only to receive news that the second son, Zong Lao Er, had died on his way to take the imperial examination.Her dowry, the result of three years of hard work and frugality, all...Afterward, Fang Jinxiu was exhausted to the point that she couldn't even lift a finger. Her legs wouldn't cooperate, and her waist felt like it had been broken, agonizingly painful.

On second glance, the culprit who had reduced her to this state was now flushed and full of life.

Fāng Jǐnxiù glared at him with a mournful look, Zōng Yù blushed shamefacedly, and at this moment he seemed at a loss.

Just now, you were fierce like a wolf, and now you put on such an innocent act for who

Zong Yu turned his head and touched the back of his head, "My wife, let me help you dress."

At this point, Fang Jinxiu wasn't feeling particularly emotional. She lay flat on the bed and let Zong Yu do whatever he wanted to her.

Zongyu helped her clean herself up, putting her clothes back on layer by layer. He saw the ripped parts and could only blush furiously, pretending not to notice. He even nervously stuffed them further inside.

He thought his little move hadn't escaped Fang Jinshu's notice.

"No need for that, I have clothes at the Jing Wangfu. Someone will bring a set over for me later."

Zongyu's movements stopped abruptly, and a hint of displeasure appeared between his brows.

"How could something from the Estate of Duke Jing be found on you"

Seeing his jealous look, Fang Jinshi felt that forgiving him like this was too easy on him. So she decided not to tell the truth and tease him instead.

"I almost became the consort of King Jing, what's wrong with the Lord providing me with some clothes at home"

Zongyu was thoroughly displeased, his lips tightening.

After resting for a while, Fang Jinshi felt she had regained some strength. She propped herself up on the bed frame and sat up.

Seeing her exhausted like this, Zong Yu couldn't help but feel concerned despite his anger. He softened his expression and showed a hint of pity.

"Just tell me what to do, and I'll do it."

Fang Jinshu put her hand on her waist, it was too uncomfortable there, she instinctively wanted to rub it, Zong Yu saw this and quickly reached out to cover it, helping her knead it.

The pressure was just right, and his hands were big and strong, more comfortable than she could give herself.

"You're comfortable enough, there's someone else unconscious in bed."

If she hadn't been worried that the medicinal properties would burst Zongyu's meridians, she wouldn't have sacrificed herself.

"Alright, alright, you're not a doctor anyway, help me up."

Knowing he was in the wrong this time, Zong Yu didn't say a word back. Just as Fang Jinshu was about to get down, he scooped her up horizontally.

"What are you doing"

Zong Yu said, "Aren't you all sore and weak that you can't walk"

"I'll carry you. Wherever I go, I'll take you there until you regain your strength."

Huh Why did you suddenly become so obedient all of a sudden It made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Zong Yu's arms were strong and powerful, and he walked with her for two steps, steady and firm.

Fang Jinshi didn't refuse the proposal, she really couldn't walk on her own now.

"How are you feeling now"

The medicine should have mostly worn off by now.

Zong Yu nodded. "Much better, anyway, I can control myself. You should save King Jing first."

Fang Jinxiu wasn't at ease. She still grabbed Zong Yu's wrist and felt his pulse. She found that his pulse was still very disordered, but it was definitely much better than the state he was in before, when he was flushed all over and out of it.

"King Jing seems to be in a different situation than us. You should take a look at him."

Zong Yu reminded Fang Jinxiu to immediately let go of his hand.

"Well, I'll give you a few more prescriptions when we get back. They'll thoroughly clear the medication from your system."

Zongyu only said, "No rush."

She turned her head and looked seriously at Fu Shangyuan. His symptoms were indeed very strange. Logically, he was the person who spent the most time in that room and the one who inhaled the most medicine.

Fang Jinshu grabbed his wrist and felt his pulse, carefully examining him afterwards but discovering he hadn't been given that kind of medicine.

"Strange."

"Where is it strange"

"Prince Jing was indeed poisoned, but the poison wasn't like ours. That strange fragrance had no effect on him."

"Him." Fang Jinshu frowned as she felt his pulse.

He was poisoned.

Upon hearing this, Zong Yu's brow furrowed even tighter than hers.

"Before, Gu Feng had told me a lot about the affairs in the court while he was in the military. Compared to Prime Minister Yuan Buyu, he spoke most often about this idle prince with no real power."

"This King Jing is probably not as simple as what's said on the outside."

Fang Jinshu nodded.

"As for others, I don't know. All I know is that the current emperor and Empress Dowager both value him very much."

"If he gets into trouble, everyone who came to the birthday banquet today won't be able to escape. The Emperor and Empress will definitely be furious."

"Who on earth would be so bold as to poison King Jing"

"What was his purpose in doing this."

They both remembered Zong Qianyue whom they had seen outside Fu Shangyuan's courtyard. Could it be her

It shouldn't be. Zong Qian Yue wants to poison King Jing, why would she have the maidservant in the Prince's mansion give him a love potion Her goal is to become Princess Jing.

This motivation is wrong.

Zongyu thought the same way.

"Let's discuss the poisoning later. Right now, we need to focus on saving his life."

Fang Jinshi took out the silver needle.pon hearing the news of Fang Jinshi's return, Jin Yu and Xiao Yue hurriedly sat up.She walked in and saw that the two people hadn't gone to sleep yet. She was a little surprised, "How come you're not...
