Gu Jiao's body seemed to have more endurance than the emperor's, as the effects of the medicine slowly began to take hold after fifteen minutes.
She didn't know what kind of medicine she had ingested; all she knew was she felt very sleepy. Just before falling asleep, she looked at the handsome face close to her and suddenly clasped his hand.
She gripped it tightly, as if she was about to lose him.
Xiao Liulang's Adam's apple moved difficultly.
Afterward, Gu Jiao fell asleep on the table.
She had a long dream filled with places she wanted to go and things she liked, and the man she had seen before falling asleep was in her dreams as well.
She entered the dream in a lucid state, a skill she had trained for in the Organization in her previous life.
She had been injected with numerous types of hallucinogens and was required to remain conscious throughout.
