Chapter 148 Poisonous Wine
"If you can lose the child in your womb, this kind of bet is worth it."

Xia Zhi spoke very plainly, but Xiao Tan felt a chill in his heart when he heard it.Taking a deep breath, Xiao Tan said in a trembling voice, "Miss Jimo, why don't you worry, if you win this bet, I will lose my child, but if you lose, have you ever worried about you?" After losing, what will happen to you?"

Xia Zhi shook her head, still as indifferent as ever, "Princess, you don't need to put on a look of fear in front of me, this bet was made by you after all, you are not worried, so I have nothing to be afraid of Woolen cloth."

After Xia Zhi said it so ruthlessly, the chill in Xiao Tan's heart deepened.

She wasn't afraid of gambling, she was just worried that she would really lose this child.

After winking at the maid standing behind him, Xiao Tan clenched his fists and said coldly, "Okay then, let's take a gamble."

"I don't know what the princess wants to bet on?" The corners of Xia Zhi's lips revealed the faint smile from before.

However, although the smile was faint, one could still see a hint of sarcasm in it.

Xiao Tan didn't answer Xia Zhi immediately, but waited until his maid was going out, and then came back, before speaking slowly.

"My maid took two glasses of sake at the wedding banquet outside. What I want to bet with you is, look at the two of us, who will drink the poisonous wine."

While speaking, Xiao Tan took out a pack of medicinal powder from her wide sleeve, randomly picked a cup from the hand of the maid, and Xiao Tan poured the whole pack of medicinal powder into it. "This is not a poison that seals the throat when you see blood, it's just a pack of ordinary ten-step powder. If you drink it, within ten steps, you will definitely die from the poison."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Tan put the cup sprinkled with medicinal powder on the table, then took the untouched wine glass from the hand of the maid, put them on the table together, and turned around a few times chaotically .

The two wine glasses have the same shape, after Xiao Tan messed them up, even she couldn't recognize which one was the one she sprinkled the poison on before.

After listening to Xiao Tan's introduction to the powder, Bai Yi immediately gave Xia Zhi a hand, "Miss..."

Xia Zhi waved her hands, and looked at Xiao Tan with her pitch-black eyes that were out of focus, "Does the princess know that even if you didn't pick the poison, drinking alcohol while pregnant may cause you to lose your child?"

Xiao Tan clenched the hand hidden in his sleeve even tighter.Tightly, Xiao Tan gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you make this bet with me."

Xiao Tan's persistence also made Xia Zhi give up trying to persuade her again.

Xia Zhi raised her chin slightly, and asked Bai Yi to go to the table to pick a glass of wine for her.

Xiao Tan watched Xia Zhi's casual movements, and the lower lip that was bitten by her was about to bleed from the bite.Xiao Tan's body was trembling slightly, but she was really afraid in her heart.

But if Xia Zhi hadn't been lured to drink that glass of wine today, then the child in Xiao Tan's belly would have been lost.

During the same contact time with Mo Zhuyue, Xiao Tan can also understand what kind of man he is.

Even so, she still likes him very much and would do anything for him.

However, Bai Yi stood still and didn't dare to move, let alone go forward, she just grabbed Xia Zhi's clothes and dared not let go, "Miss, what if you choose that glass of poisoned wine?"

Bai also saw that Xia Zhi's face was still cold, and he felt anxious, "Miss, Princess, she just said that Mo Zhuyue actually wanted to bet on this child. So if you agree to drink this A glass of wine, isn't it just being fooled by him?!"

Bai Yi tightly pulled Xia Zhi's clothes, staring at her without blinking.

Seeing Bai Yi's sudden opening, Xiao Tan wanted to dissuade her, so she also hurriedly grabbed Xia Zhi's sleeve on the other side, and casually picked a wine glass from the table, raised her head, and gave all the wine in it to her. He drank it, "Before in Xicang, you had to force me to use force on you, so that the matter could go smoothly. Now in Dongling, you still have to force me to drink that glass of poisoned wine first, so that you can Agree, Jimo Xia Zhi, I've already drank it, now it's your turn."

Xia Zhi frowned, she wanted to move, but Bai Yi and Xiao Tan held her arm, making her unable to move.

Seeing Xia Zhi's refusal to answer his own words, Xiao Tan stared at Bai Yi who was standing next to her fiercely. Xiao Tan felt that she no longer had the appearance that a princess should have, and even became a little embarrassed, and needed to beg Xia Zhi's help. Poor, to keep the child in her womb.

After a pause, Xiao Tan continued, "Zhuyue has no children, and the one in my womb is his only flesh and blood. But because of you, he would rather not have this close relative and make a bet with you. Such a reason, isn't it? Jimo Xiazhi, are you still unwilling to agree?! I already drank the glass of wine on the table!"

As Xiao Tan spoke, he began to cry.

Xia Zhi still frowned, although she didn't feel sorry for Xiao Tan in her heart, but this was indeed the bet she had promised before, "Bai Yi..."

"Miss, it's not that I think you'll pick that glass of poisoned wine. It's that I don't trust Mo Zhuyue, let alone anyone who has had contact with Mo Zhuyue. What I'm worried about is that both of these wine glasses were touched by Xiao Tan. Hand." Bai also saw that Xia Zhi's arm moved, as if he was about to raise his hand again, and the urgency in his heart deepened.

However, no matter how much Bai Yi persuades, Xia Zhi's mind will not change.

With a little effort, Xia Zhi shook off the two people's hands wrapped around her arms, Xia Zhi said coldly, "Bai Yi, go and bring me the wine. I'll be fine, you forgot, I still have Crunchy."

In the end, Xia Zhi still comforted Bai Yi.

Hearing Xia Zhi mentioned crispy, Bai Yi suddenly froze for a moment.Looking down, Bai also saw the green shadow on Xia Zhi's white wrist. His anxious heart gradually calmed down.

Xia Zhi patted Bai Yi's hand reassuringly, and said again, "Go and bring me the wine."

Bai Yi only hesitated for a moment, but still obeyed Xia Zhi's words, went to the table to fetch the wine glass, and handed it to Xia Zhi's hand.But before Xia Zhi drank the wine, Bai Yi still yelled worriedly, "Miss, what if..."

Xia Zhi didn't listen to Bai Yi's words of what to do, and directly drank the wine in the glass.

Seeing that Xia Zhi finally drank the wine, Xiao Tan's eyes suddenly lit up.

A gust of cold wind blew to this remote corner, and the coldness made the people inside shiver involuntarily.

But no matter how cold the weather outside is, it can't hide the fiery feeling in Xiao Tan's heart.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Tan said softly, "Who drank this poisonous wine in the end, you and I don't know now. Why don't you take a step ahead, Miss Jimo, if after ten steps you go out, you are still If nothing happens, then I will accept my fate."

After a pause, Xiao Tan continued, "Don't worry, no one else will know about today's events except those present. Even if I drank the poisoned wine at the end, no one will come to you trouble."

Xia Zhi pursed her lips tightly, and from the moment Xiao Tan let go of her arm, Xia Zhi has been gently stroking the crispness wrapped around her wrist with her fingers.

The smooth and sticky touch, as well as the pain on the wrist, made Xia Zhi's fair complexion even paler.

Xia Zhi nodded her head, as if she answered Xiao Tan's words.

Turning around, he took Bai Yi and left, leaving only Xiao Tan standing behind him looking at Xia Zhi's thin back.

Bai Yi also saw Xia Zhi's pale face, and smelled the faint smell of blood on Xia Zhi's body, Bai Yi's heart shrank suddenly, "Miss, it's the ninth step now. Or we should stop here Don’t move, I’ll let Ah Li go and call Mr. Fang?”

Bai Yi carefully supported Xia Zhi as he walked forward, while he was walking, he was still counting the steps in his heart.

Not only was his face pale, but even the lips that Xia Zhi had squeezed so tightly had lost all color, turning pale.

Seeing this, Bai also felt anxious, regardless of the occasion, she just screamed, "A Li, hurry up and call Mr. Fang—"

As soon as Bai Yi finished speaking, she saw bright red blood dripping from the corner of Xia Zhi's lips.

From the corner of her lips, it dripped onto Xia Zhi's dark red robe, and finally disappeared, leaving only a red mark on Xia Zhi's face.

Xia Zhi frowned, her tightly pursed lips still did not loosen.She felt that her consciousness was gradually becoming blurred, and even the whiteness in her vision was about to be shattered.

"Miss Jimo, I saw that person again. I heard His Highness the Crown Prince calling him..." Xuanji, who had been looking around in the distance before, ran over to report to Xia Zhi when she found Mo Zhuyue again. .

But what she saw when she came back was Bai Yi under Xia Zhi's body, and Xia Zhi had fainted.

"Xuanji, come and help me!" When Bai Yi heard Xuanji's voice, he didn't care what she was talking about just now.The most urgent task now is to bring Xia Zhi back first.

Xuanji ran over immediately after being yelled at by Bai Yi.

Seeing the chaotic scene over there from afar, Xiao Tan held onto the threshold, with a slight smile on his lips.

Xia Zhi fell down without accident, and because Bai Yi's yelling was too loud, not only did she call a strange woman, but she also attracted the attention of other people at the wedding banquet.

"Princess, the antidote has been prepared." The maid standing behind Xiao Tan brought her another wine glass.

Xiao Tan's gaze was still on Xia Zhi's side, and then she drank the thing in the maid's hand in one gulp, just like the glass of poisoned wine she drank before, it was crisp.

"I'm really afraid of losing this child, but Zhui Yue needs me to make such a bet with you, so I can only prepare a pack of antidote for myself before spreading the poisonous powder. Bet, you can do it , but child, don’t let it go. Your maid is right, in fact, I sprinkled poisonous powder in both wine glasses.”

After Xiao Tan drank what was in his hand, he suddenly muttered in his mouth.

Xiao Tan's voice was too low, just as another gust of cold wind blew, the words that Xiao Tan should have said to Xia Zhi, drifted into the air along with the wind.
