As he said this, he was about to take action, and at the end he did not forget to make things difficult for Xiao Zhan: "Hey, Prince Gong, listen carefully. My people have searched all over the Beiling area for any place where a pagoda can grow, and now there is only this one left. If this pagoda also dies, it will be very difficult to save Princess Gong."

Xiao Zhan's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained calm, and his eyes were as sharp as ice knives as he pierced Jun Li.

If eyes could turn into sharp blades, Jun Li would have been chopped into meat paste by now.

"Wait a minute."

Xiao Zhan's steady voice forced Jun Li to stop the destructive action in his hand. He knew that this guy was deliberately forcing him to submit.

But right now, he has no choice.

"Except for Xiaoxue, I agree to all other conditions."

In order to save Xiaoxue's life, he was willing to compromise, even though he knew the other party would use this as an opportunity to bully him.

"Ha, Xiao Zhan, you said that yourself."

Jun Li sneered inwardly, and then slowly put down his hand: "It's just a lie to talk without doing anything. If one day you, Prince Gong, turn against me, I will be at a great loss."

"Tie Yi, hurry up, get your pen and ink ready."

Xiao Zhan frowned and immediately ordered Tieyi to prepare the documents.

"We have it in black and white, signed and sealed. Now you should be relieved."

"Your Highness, this..."

Tieyi looked at his master with a worried face. What would he do if Junli Shizi asked for too much?

"Your Highness Prince Gong is such a straightforward person." Jun Li laughed, stepped forward, snatched the brush from Tieyi's hand, waved his hand, signed his name on the agreement in a flamboyant manner, then extended the pen, signaling Xiao Zhan to also have one.

The two of them each put their fingerprints on the deal, and the transaction was finalized.

Jun Li was overjoyed. He put the agreement in his arms, and with a shake of his hand, he broke off half of the pagoda and placed it on the Eight Immortals Table.

"You bastard!" Seeing this, Tie Yi was so angry that he almost rushed up to fight with Jun Li. Their highness had already signed and agreed to his conditions, but this man dared to ruin the princess's lifeline.

"For the sake of His Royal Highness Gong's sincerity, this half of the pagoda will be used as a deposit for Wen Shui. Don't worry, although only half is left, this pagoda can still remove the blood poison, but the effectiveness is halved. At least it can remove half of the toxins in Xiaoxue's body, so that she will suffer less.

As for the other half, once His Royal Highness Prince Gong has done what he promised, I will naturally offer him the warm water. I believe His Royal Highness Prince Gong will not let me be happy for nothing. "Jun Li said.

Xiao Zhan glanced at his smug look, expressionless, without even saying a word, turned around, picked up the half-studded pagoda on the table, and directly ordered him to leave: "Send him out."

Tieyi obeyed the order and pushed the man out with a stern face.

Jun Li was not annoyed. He chattered for a while in the direction of Xiao Zhan before leaving with Mo Xue in satisfaction.

Xiao Zhan paused slightly, then left the main hall without looking back, returned to Jiang Xue's room, handed the half pagoda to Fu Dong, and asked her to quickly send it to Doctor Li to study the antidote.

He stayed by the bed, silently accompanying Jiang Xue for several hours.

From the time the sun set to the top of the moon, his eyes never left her beautiful face.

The slender and warm fingers gently stroked her silky skin, passed over the tip of her tall nose, touched her soft lips, and finally stopped on her swan-like neck.

"Xiaoxue..."

He called out the name softly, as if singing a love song that only the two of them understood, and slowly leaned down and approached her.

With forehead against forehead, eyes to eyes, he kissed her gently, pouring all his tenderness into Jiang Xue's body.

"Once the words 'Xichen Secret Guards' catch the eye of Emperor Beiling, Linglong Pavilion will probably be doomed."

"Hey, don't even think about being a couple with Xiaoxue. Since His Royal Highness Prince Gong doesn't want Xiaoxue to go with me, how can I let the two of you play in the water together?

Remember, don't let Xiaoxue smell anything wrong, otherwise I can easily turn this half of the Buddha grass into ashes. As long as Xiaoxue draws a clear line with you, I will personally deliver the remaining half, and I guarantee that there will be no shortage of weight."

Xiao Zhan sat on the edge of the bed that night, tossing and turning, his mind full of the harsh words that Jun Li had said before he left.

A feeling of powerlessness as if he was being pinched spread from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He wanted to resist, but found that he was like a small insect with its hands and feet tied, unable to move.

"Well, Yun Che, what happened to you? Why did you wake up so early?"

On the bed, Jiang Xue rubbed her sleepy eyes, turned sideways, and found that Xiao Zhan was hiding in the shadows, with a gloomy look all around him.

Her heart tightened, and she sat up, holding onto Xiao Zhan's arm with her two small hands, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?"

Xiao Zhan was silent for a long time, just looking at her steadily. There seemed to be thousands of words in his eyes, but they were all tangled up in a knot. It was not until a long time later that the mess gradually calmed down.

"Nothing, it's still early, you lie down for a while, I have something to do."

As he spoke, he gently brushed away the small hands wrapped around his arms, stood up, and walked straight out the door without looking back.

From beginning to end, he didn't even glance at Jiang Xue.

Looking at his receding figure, Jiang Xue inexplicably felt an ominous premonition in her heart. For the first time, she felt the strange indifference emanating from him.

What happened that made it seem as if there was an invisible layer of ice between her and Xiao Zhan?

"Hey, Princess, Dr. Li is here!"

Not long after Xiao Zhan left, Fu Dong came in with Doctor Li.

This time, Doctor Li's usual bitter face was completely changed. He looked beaming with joy, as if he had been blessed with great luck.

"My Lady Princess, good news, the antidote is ready!"

Doctor Li held an exquisite wooden box in his hand. When he opened it, a sparkling pill lay inside.

Jiang Xue gently picked up the pill with her fingertips, put it under her nose and smelled it, and was surprised to find that this thing was actually made from pagoda grass.

"Have you found the pagoda?"

She held the pill and looked at Doctor Li curiously.

"Yes, Your Highness had someone deliver it yesterday. As soon as I got it, I worked overtime overnight to prepare the antidote and sent it to you immediately. Princess, take it while it's hot."

Doctor Li had never seen what a real pagoda looked like, so he naturally didn't know that he had half a plant in his hand. Anyway, Jiang Xue's blood poison could be cured, so he worked hard to make the pill.

Looking at the life-saving pill in her hand, a warm feeling surged into Jiang Xue's heart.

Regardless of whether this pagoda was newly discovered or retrieved, Yun Che must have put in a lot of effort. Thinking of this, his previous indifferent attitude was probably due to exhaustion.

Thinking of the dark circles in his eye sockets that she had just seen, Jiang Xue was deeply moved and raised her head to swallow the pill.

After the pill entered her stomach, within less than a meal's time, she felt changes beginning to occur within her body.
