Xiao Tang's gentle smile remained unchanged as she hesitated before nodding.

She's short of money, and it's all because of him!

Doesn't this guy have any idea how expensive the antidote is?

In the past, when treating people's illnesses and detoxifying them, the cost of the medicine was always borne by the patients themselves. When will she, as a doctor, be responsible for covering the cost of the medicine?

If it weren't for the fact that he was a major villain and her life was in his hands, would she have to be so aggrieved?

“There is a patient inside. If you cure him, I will reward you with this East City Pharmacy.”

Xiao Tang's eyebrows twitched twice upon hearing this.

Don't say...

This medicine shop is exactly what she wanted!

If she had a medicinal herb farm and herb fields, she could solve most of her problems, given her lack of medicinal herbs.

She was really interested...

The man's exquisite, thin lips curved into a slight smile: "That's perfect. There's someone inside who is my subordinate. He was poisoned by a Gu poison on the battlefield half a year ago. If the princess can cure him, this medicine shop in the east of the city will be yours."

Gu poison?

That thing, it's said, is a high-risk Gu that nine out of ten people will get infected if they touch it.

The book didn't mention this at all!

Just as Xiao Tang was wondering what was going on, two disheveled old doctors suddenly rushed out of the medicine shop.

The reason we were certain they were senior doctors was because they were both carrying medicine kits.

Judging by her temperament, she's definitely got it.

The two elderly people screamed for help as they scrambled and stumbled as they ran away, as if a raging flood or ferocious beast was chasing them.

Xiao Tang could tell at a glance that they had been frightened away by the poison.

For someone like the Regent, who is born with a type of Gu poison, there is no danger unless they drink the Regent's blood.

However, if some poisons enter through a wound, then one will definitely become infected with the poison.

These doctors, unless they are truly highly skilled, would never touch them.

Even she... would need a 31st-century advanced protective suit to...

She was willing to risk everything for this medicine shop in the east of the city!

"Alright, Your Highness, you must keep your word!"

The man gave a noncommittal smile and led her into the medicine shop.

A hint of worry appeared on Yan Jiu's face behind him.

This poison... it's not so easy to cure.

The person inside... is his brother, Yan Shi.

Six months ago, she went to the battlefield and contracted a Gu poison while trying to save the Regent.

It's really tragic to think about it.

Upon entering the dark ward, Xiao Tang's eyes welled up with tears from the stench of decay.

She looked at the person on the bed.

His chest was exposed, the wounds were all rotting, and there were tiny white things wriggling on it.

It's disgusting, really disgusting.

The bloodstains had dried.

His eyes were vacant as he stared at the ceiling, it was unclear whether he was still conscious.

She remembered that this type of Gu poison, which only causes trauma, was mentioned in the book. It was the Gu poison that the female protagonist in the book liked to use the most—the Bone-Eating Gu.

It stains the skin immediately upon contact.

Any tiny wound on your body will immediately be targeted by this Gu worm, which will devour your flesh and then your bones in no time.

The poor kid on the bed has probably been alive for half a year; his vitality is quite tenacious.

"Treatment?" the man behind me asked coldly.

He heard everything Xiao Tang was thinking.

Now that things have come to this, he has indeed adapted to his identity as a "paper doll".

Xiao Tang, this woman, seems to be able to be used by him, and there are many benefits to her.

Xiao Tang pursed her lips.

She nodded: "Sure."

"However, Your Highness, I would like to stay here for two days. What do you think?"

These words surprised and moved Yan Jiu.

The princess was actually willing to stay to cure her brother's poison...

Thinking about how the two old doctors had rushed out and were terrified, and then looking at the princess, he suddenly felt that those two old men were really not manly!
