Chapter 216 The Climax of the Revelation of One’s Origins Must See Ten Thousand More (5)
An Yiqing furrowed her brows, confusion flashing in her watery eyes. Why would this happen? Previously, she had diluted the Spirit Spring from her space and administered it to Kong Shi, and Kong Shi’s condition of physical exhaustion had gradually disappeared over the past few days. Why did this situation start happening again last night?
The girl lowered her gaze, eating while rapidly analyzing the situation in her mind. The phenomenon of Kong Shi being sleepy only started after she began taking the medicine Yiqing had provided. Although she had been physically weak before, she hadn’t experienced organ failure. So... An Yiqing’s eyes flickered, and she had a faint suspicion in her heart.
After breakfast, the girl had played five or six rounds of chess with Old Master An, and it was only then that Kong Shi slowly came downstairs.
"Xiao Qing, I’m really sorry; I woke up too late," said Kong Shi, her eyes brightening considerably upon seeing An Yiqing as she hurriedly approached her with affection.
"Auntie, it’s not a problem," An Yiqing replied with a smile, shaking her head as if it were nothing and asked, "Auntie, what time did you take the medicine yesterday?"
Kong Shi paused, then said after thinking, "It was probably after five in the afternoon. After you left yesterday noon, I went to Niuniu’s room and stayed for a while. I accidentally fell asleep and didn’t wake up until five. I didn’t expect to feel sleepy again after taking the medicine. It really is tough getting old; I’m not as energetic as I used to be."
Upon hearing Kong Shi’s words, a sharp light flashed through the depths of An Yiqing’s clear eyes. Kong Shi didn’t notice anything amiss, but An Muyun, weathered and sharp, instantly picked up on the fleeting murderous intent from the girl. His hand, holding a chess piece, paused, and he looked up at An Yiqing in surprise, thoughtful.
