Chapter 25 Poison Hair
Unfortunately, Gu Ci couldn't do either of these two things.

Even if he could do it, Gu Ci glanced at the opposite side and realized that she had no dowry.

So after Tang Zhao donated all her dowry, Gu Ci knew that unless something unexpected happened, they were both destined to live in poverty for the rest of their lives.

Tang Zhao was dumbfounded after hearing this, and then she regretted it very much. She was impulsive.

Who would know if I secretly stole one or two gold bars?

Seeing the woman's face full of despair towards the world, a quick smile flashed across Gu Ci's eyes, without even noticing it himself.

Tang Zhao lay over him on the bed, pretending to be dead.

Gu Ci didn't care about her. He finished washing up and lay down to sleep.

Moonlight shone into the room through the window. Tang Zhao looked at the red curtains above the bed and fell into deep thought.

In this life, she was reborn in Dayu and married into the royal family. She originally thought that even if she couldn't spend money lavishly, she could still be a happy and carefree rich salted fish. Who knew that the royal palace was also extremely poor!

She pounded the bed angrily, this was a marriage scam!

She turned around and looked at the man sleeping peacefully on the ground. He looked well-dressed and righteous, but who knew he was just a weakling!

Sure enough, women still have to rely on themselves!
After she had prepared herself mentally, she combined the information she currently knew about the world and solemnly drew up a rough framework for her money-making plan. She only needed to add the details to create her business empire again.

Tang Zhao laughed foolishly, thinking his plan was perfect. His eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and he was about to go to sleep when he heard a painful groan.

She opened her eyes with a start, and sure enough, she saw Gu Ci's face was pale and sweaty, and his tall body unconsciously curled up into a ball.

Tang Zhao got out of bed and patted Gu Ci's face, "Gu Ci, Gu Ci, wake up!"

Seeing that no one responded, Tang Zhao hurriedly ran out to call for help. Dongmei woke up instantly, put on her clothes and ran to Minghui Hall.

Tang Zhao brought Chunfeng Qiuyu back to the inner room and instructed Chaohui and Chaoyi to carry the person to the bed. He watched Chaohui skillfully take out the pill from his arms and stuff it into Gu Ci's mouth.

God have mercy on me, even though Gu Ci was in so much pain, he was still able to swallow the medicine smoothly.

She was in awe, he was indeed a soldier!
"What happened? Didn't the master take the medicine in advance? Why did he get sick again?" Zhaohui's mind was confused.

"What do you mean? Has Gu Ci always been like this?" Tang Zhao asked in confusion.

She slept in the same bed with Gu Ci for a month, how come she didn't notice it at all?

"Replying to the county lady, the master was poisoned and fell into a coma before, and he woke up because of the county lady's wedding." Chao Yi saw that he could no longer hide it, so he told her everything.

"After the master woke up, the poison had not yet been cleared. Every night at midnight, the poison would attack the master, and the pain in the body would be unbearable."

"Fortunately, the military doctor sent some good medicine. Although it can't cure the poison, it can relieve the pain. Master, just take one pill a day to relieve the pain."

"My master clearly took medicine early today, but for some reason he got sick again," Zhao Hui knelt on the ground and begged, "County Lady, please save my master!"

Tang Zhao had no way to defend herself, she couldn't do that!
"System, system! Do you have any solution?" Tang Zhao called out in his mind.

[Yes! Host, please transfer your health points]

Tang Zhao calculated with his fingers, "He should have 10 health points left."

[Health is too low, and the ability to resist toxins is weakened]

Tang Zhao gritted her teeth. She didn't want to be a widow yet. "Move."

[Host, please hold hands with the target task to transfer health points]

"We could do telekinesis before!" Tang Zhao protested as he pushed through the crowd and stepped forward, grabbing Gu Ci's hand.

[First transfer, discount for the host]

Thank you, Tang Zhao thought bitterly.

How much health points does the host need to transfer? Current health points are 74.

Tang Zhao sighed, "Transfer 30." [Ding! Transfer successful, remaining health 44]

Tang Zhao felt a heat continuously flowing out of her body, and was transmitted to Gu Ci's body through the hands they held.

The pain all over his body, like being cut by a knife, gradually subsided until it disappeared. Gu Ci slowly opened his eyes, and the scene in front of him seemed to be covered by fog.

"Gu Ci? Gu Ci?" Tang Zhao called.

A soft female voice sounded in his ears. Gu Ci was in a trance and didn't remember what day it was. He just responded according to his heart.

"Ah."

The voice was soft, like a spoiled child, but also like a comfort. Tang Zhao had never heard Gu Ci speak to her in such a voice before, and she was not used to it.

"Rouyin," Gu Ci whispered, "Aren't you in the northwest?"

The first sentence was too quiet for Tang Zhao to hear. He only heard the second sentence and rolled his eyes, "I've never been to the Northwest!"

Gu Ci muttered.

"What did he say?" Tang Zhao couldn't hear clearly, so he turned around and asked.

Zhao Hui Chaoyi, who had heard the entire incident, turned pale with fear. He lowered his head, not daring to look at her, and whimpered, "Your subordinate, I didn't hear it clearly either."

Tang Zhao didn't believe it. Their reaction didn't seem like they didn't hear it, but now was not the time to pursue the matter. Gu Ci pulled her hand with great strength, and it seemed that he was squeezing her so hard that it hurt.

"Is the doctor here?" She could hardly hold on any longer.

"Here he comes, the court doctor is here!" Dongmei ran in holding the collar of a white-bearded old man, followed by the princess and others.

Doctor Wang didn't want to argue with a little maid. After carefully checking Gu Ci's pulse, he said, "Strange, the young master's pulse hasn't changed."

Looking at Gu Ci's face, which had returned to normal, he asked from the bottom of his heart, "Did the young master really have a relapse of the poison?"

"It's absolutely true," Zhaohui told the whole story.

Doctor Wang was reluctant to admit it, but, "The County Princess is blessed with great fortune."

This is to admit that Gu Ci'anhao is related to Tang Zhao.

Chaohui and Chaoyi looked at each other. They didn't believe it at first, but now they had no choice but to believe it.

Seeing that her son had recovered as normal and her violently beating heart had slowly calmed down, the princess sent everyone away, held her daughter-in-law's hand and expressed her gratitude. Seeing that there were tears of sleepiness in Tang Zhao's eyes, she left with a reluctant heart.

Chaohui Chaoyi appeared at the rockery and relayed everything his master said after he fell unconscious to Princess Xuan.

Princess Xuan was startled, "Are you sure the county lady didn't hear clearly?"

"I didn't hear it clearly," Zhaohui confirmed.

"That's good."

Princess Xuan also felt that her daughter-in-law didn't hear clearly, otherwise her son would still be thinking about other women when he was unconscious. If she were his daughter-in-law, she wouldn't have to call a doctor and could have just poisoned him to death!

Then he scolded his careless son in his heart and warned him, "Don't tell the county lady about Rouyin's matter."

"My subordinate understands!"

After everyone left, the person who had been hiding in the rockery came out cautiously and returned to the Bidan Courtyard quietly.

Tang Zhao gave his bed to Gu Ci and slept on the chaise longue for a night. He felt sore in his back and had to get up.

Dongmei waited outside for three hours until the girl finally woke up. She then leaned over to her ear and told her what she had overheard behind the rockery last night.

Tang Zhao:.
Tang Zhao laughed angrily.

What a marriage fraud!
