In her past life, Su LiLuo sacrificed everything for Prince Chu’s grand ambitions. She agreed to a proxy marriage with the crippled Crown Prince, disregarding her reputation and using her charm t...
Looking at the light in the other person's eyes, Su Liluo instantly sensed that the other person might not be so loyal to their so-called master, but more likely because of the poison in their body.
If that's the case, then things will be much easier.
Su Liluo nodded and said, "I can help you study your poison, but before that, you must answer my questions. For your lives, you only need to nod or shake your head."
The woman nodded in agreement.
In fact, Su Liluo guessed correctly. She was indeed loyal to their master because of the poison in her body.
Because she didn't actually join Xinglan's organization voluntarily. After entering Xinglan as a child, she witnessed its cruelty, especially the ruthlessness of their master.
She felt a strong aversion to leaving, but was unable to escape due to the poison implanted in her body since childhood.
"Your master sent you to find me. Yi Lan, whom you rescued this time, and Qin Shuang, who is already dead, are all your master's disciples. They approached me to get something from me?"
Su Liluo looked at the woman and asked.
The woman nodded earnestly.
Su Liluo then asked, "Is your master a middle-aged woman?"
The woman nodded.
"Is Xinglan a sect or organization? And is its address in the Northern Desert?"
The woman shook her head.
Su Liluo frowned slightly and asked again, "Is Xinglan a place, a small place that nobody knows about? Or a tribe?"
Only then did the woman nod.
"Your master knows my mother? Is she her fellow disciple?"
"have no idea."
The woman hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to shake her head or nod, and simply said she didn't know.
Their master wouldn't tell them these things in detail, and even their most trusted Yilan might not know.
Su Liluo saw that her expression didn't seem to be faking it, so she didn't ask any more questions.
The woman's poison hasn't been neutralized yet, so many issues cannot be fully explained.
"Let me check your pulse!"
She didn't ask any more questions, but instead planned to check the woman's body for toxins first.
The woman's pulse was steady and normal, seemingly without any signs of poisoning. However, Su Liluo recalled the scenes of interrogating Qin Shuang several times before and felt something was amiss.
If it wasn't poisonous, how could it have died at such a crucial moment?
She frowned, pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered a kind of poison called "Word Spirit Bait" that she had seen in her mother's medical book.
In terms of preparation, it should be something similar to a Gu poison.
It is colorless and odorless, and normally has no effect on the body, but it is controlled by the poisoner, and the words and actions of the poisoned person can be controlled by the poisoner.
If the poisoner commands the poisoned person in their conscious mind what they cannot do, then the poisoned person's disobedience will trigger the poison and lead to death.
This is one of the three most potent poisons recorded in the book of poisons.
"Kongkong, is the poison in her body really a Word of Power bait?"
Su Liluo asked about the space in her hand with some uncertainty.
"Yes, it's the Word Spirit Bait, one of the three great poisons. It was taken out of this space by someone, and I don't know where it ended up."
Space said lazily.
This space has been passed down through several generations and several owners. The previous owners often took things out of the space, so many that it couldn't even remember them all.
"How do we counteract this spell? Do you have an antidote?"
Su Liluo asked with concern.
Since this poison was leaked out of the space, then the space should also have an antidote, right?
But just as she was pinning her hopes on the space, it disappointed her by replying: "There is no antidote. You will have to research the antidote yourself. The original owner took the antidote with him."
The Word-of-Warrior poison requires a hundred years of time and space to regenerate, and there are still twenty years to go, so there is no antidote for the time being.
"So there's no cure for this poison?"
Su Liluo's hopes plummeted instantly.
The person behind this has never come out herself, but keeps sending different people to my side. If I don't take the initiative to expose her, there will always be danger lurking around me.
She now wanted to keep this woman alive, cure her poison, and get some useful information from her so she could take the initiative.
But now...
The space clearly sensed Su Liluo's disappointment. After a moment of silence, it comforted her, "Although the space doesn't have an antidote, you can research it yourself!"
You can make this antidote too, it's just more complicated!
"How do I do it? Is there a prescription?"
Su Liluo's eyes lit up.
"Yes, it's on the last page of the medical book, but it seems you haven't seen it yet."
"......."
Su Liluo: Okay, it seems I haven't been working hard enough; I haven't finished reading the book.
However, I was still very happy to know that there was a solution.
She told Xiao Ye that she was going to research the antidote, and then instructed people to keep a close watch on the two women, making sure nothing happened to them.

On the other side.
Inside Xinglan's white palace, a line of women dressed in black knelt neatly on the ground, listening to the reprimands from the middle-aged woman standing above them.
The middle-aged woman was dressed in a magnificent purple gown, adorned with shimmering pearls.
With her delicate features, if you didn't know her real age, you would definitely think she was a girl in her mid-twenties.
"What a bunch of useless trash! How did they even get someone arrested!"
The middle-aged woman shouted at them sternly.
The women in black kneeling on the ground all lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound, except for the one kneeling at the very front who dared to speak timidly.
"Master, I am incompetent and allowed Liuyue and Qifeng to be captured by accident. Your disciple begs for forgiveness!"
“Master, please don’t blame Senior Sister. It’s all because that Crown Prince was too cunning. They are much more difficult to deal with than we imagined. Otherwise, Junior Sister Qin Shuang wouldn’t have died there.”
At this moment, Yi Lan saw her senior sister come out to plead for her and couldn't help but join in.
Unexpectedly, her words not only failed to help her senior sister, but instead resulted in her being kicked in the chest by her master.
"You have the nerve to say that? If it weren't for saving you, they wouldn't have been caught! Now that they're captured, we're no longer safe here!"
The middle-aged woman said angrily.
"puff---"
Yi Lan first spat out a mouthful of blood, then continued to explain, "No, Master, aren't they poisoned?"
"But they're not dead yet!"
The middle-aged woman interrupted sharply.
She knew, of course, that Liu Yue and Qi Feng had been poisoned with her words, and that they would die if they revealed her information.
But the fact that they are still alive means that Su Liluo already knows this secret.
The middle-aged woman guessed that Su Liluo definitely wanted to study and cure their poison first, and then interrogate them.
That wouldn't be a good thing for me.
Xinglan is a mysterious place, but if they find out how to enter, they might mobilize the entire nation to deal with us.
Therefore, one's own abilities may not necessarily make them an opponent.
