Drugging?
The Guan Family is hosting a major event, yet there's always someone who can't resist drugging someone else.
Qiao Xi was momentarily taken aback but quickly stepped forward and pulled Huo Sijiao away. That seductive vibe of hers could captivate even women.
Xie Xubai really was a paragon of virtue.
"Coincidentally, I brought my acupuncture kit today. It was originally meant for Guan Wenli."
Sweat dotted Xie Xubai's forehead. He suppressed his discomfort and said, "Then I'll trouble Doctor Qiao."
Guan Jingtan wisely said, "I'll arrange a room for you. This way, please."
The group quickly found a nearby room. Fortunately, Qiao Xi had come prepared, taking out her acupuncture kit to treat Huo Sijiao.
She was well-practiced in this; there was something about the people of the Imperial Capital—they always seemed obsessed with using this kind of drug.
Before long, Huo Sijiao slumped weakly to one side, her eyes regaining clarity.
