Tang Shishi's voice was low and weak and Zhao Chengjun did not hear clearly. He frowned and asked: "What did you say?"

However, Tang Shishi was already unable to answer. She closed her eyes and passed out. Zhao Chengjun saw that something was wrong, lifted her up, and quickly put her on the bed in the side room.

Zhao Chengjun carefully leaned her neck on the pillow, opened her sleeves, and held her pulse. Zhao Chengjun almost died of illness when he first came to Xiping City, and it took a year for him to get used to it. Since then, Zhao Chengjun has learned some basic pharmacology.

Zhao Chengjun listened attentively, but Tang Shishi was restless. Her clothes were still wet, and she was uncomfortable lying on the couch. She swayed from side to side, trying to break away from Zhao Chengjun's restraint.

Zhao Chengjun was so disturbed by her that he couldn't concentrate, so he could only hold her arm and faintly said, "Don't make trouble."

But Tang Shishi coudn't listen, she couldn't help pulling on her clothes, and muttered in: "It's wet, it's so uncomfortable."

Zhao Chengjun was afraid that she would get cold after wearing wet clothes for a long time, so he had to hold her two wrists and said, "Don't move, I'll come back."

Tang Shishi was wearing a jade-colored hanfu today, with the buttons on the gown all the way up to the neck. Zhao Chengjun reached for the top button and paused slightly when he touched the button.

If it is a man, it is not a problem for others to help change clothes and dress up after being unconscious. However...Tang Shishi is a woman.

It is not proper for men and women to do this.

But he glanced at the condition of Tang Shishi and sighed helplessly. Tang Shishi has become like this, how can there be time to care about etiquette? It's important to save people first.

Zhao Chengjun went to untie the buttons on Master Tang's neckline. Tang Shishi loved beauty and even made the buttons in bells and whistles. This is not the method Zhao Chengjun is accustomed to, he tried for a long time, but he couldn't solve it. Tang Shishi was still moving and whimpering, Zhao Chengjun could only hold her shoulders, leaned closer, and carefully looked at the structure of the collar buckle.

At this time, Tang Shishi murmured a few words. The shape of her lips hardly moved, and the voice quickly faded away, as quickly as an illusion.

However, Zhao Chengjun was close enough to hear it. Zhao Chengjun's pupils were slightly enlarged, and he suddenly looked down at Tang Shishi.

Tang Shishi was still unconscious, her cheeks were flushed, her eyebrows were slightly frowning, and she looked very abnormal. Zhao Chengjun finally knew what kind of poison it was. He just thought it was the Youlanchun poison, but he didn't see such obvious symptoms. The Youlanchun Poison is a aphrodisiac of the high grade.

Judging from her appearance, she would have been drugged in Wangjiang Tower.

Zhao Chengjun was in a complicated mood for a while, frightened, afraid, and extremely grateful. This kind of medicine is overbearing and unpredictable. If she continues to stay in Wangjiang Tower, the consequences will be unimaginable. But she didn't know why, regardless of rushing back to the palace, even braving the rain to find him.

In a sense, her decision saved her life.

Zhao Chengjun couldn't help rubbing her slender and white chin, and asked in a low voice, "You ran back after a lot of trouble and desperateness just to talk about this?"

What Tang Shishi said vaguely just now was "Don't go, be careful someone will ambush you."

Zhao Chengjun knew that there was spies in the mansion, and also knew that the spies were contacting Tang Shishi quietly. In fact, Zhao Chengjun basically knows who everyone is, and the reason why they are still there is just to confuse the Empress Dowager who is thousands of miles away.
