After everything was done, Concubine Li was already dying.

When the palace maid heard that there was no movement in the secret room, she hurriedly turned the mechanism, opened the door and helped Concubine Li out.

Concubine Li lay on the bed with a weak breath, and she didn't even have the strength to raise her hands.

The palace maid fed her ginseng soup and stuffed a secretly prepared life-extending pill into her mouth.

The bitter taste spread quickly in her mouth.

Concubine Li closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

At this time, her hair was turning white rapidly, her face was aging rapidly, and her skin was drying up rapidly, covered with spots and wrinkles.

She is only forty years old, but she looks older and more frail than an eighty-year-old woman.

The palace maid stood by the bed, crying silently.

In Prince Rui's Mansion, Su Wanti suddenly felt a chill on her head.

Then his heart began to ache violently, his throat tasted fishy and sweet, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.

At this time, the housekeeper came to report. Seeing Su Wanti vomiting blood, he was shocked and hurriedly ordered his men to quickly call the imperial physician over, saying that the county lady had a sudden illness.

Shang Xingjian was right next to Su Wanti. He was horrified, his eyes red with anxiety, and his hands trembling in his wide sleeves.

At this moment, the jade pendant he was wearing sensed the evil spirit and emitted a black light.

"Awan, Awan!" His voice trembled and he reached out to hold her in his arms.

Su Wanti felt weak and broke out in cold sweats.

She leaned weakly on Shang Xingjian's chest, her fingers clasping his cold fingertips.

[Host, you've been possessed by an evil spell.] The system said calmly.

"Are the detoxification pills effective?" Su Wanti was barely breathing.

[Witchcraft is not poison, so antidote pills are useless.]

"Then can you dispel the evil spell?"

The system raised its head and folded its hands. [For this system, dispelling the evil spells in the small worlds of low-civilization dimensions is a piece of cake!]

"Please hurry up..." Su Wanti felt extremely uncomfortable. She felt as if a hand had reached into her internal organs and was squeezing them tightly, causing her to tremble with pain.

Shang Xingjian felt the body of the person in his arms trembling violently, and he was at a loss and panicked as never before.

Fortunately, he calmed down quickly.

Shang Xingjian felt distressed when he saw Su Wanti biting her lips so hard in pain that her soft lips were about to bleed.

He placed his arm across the woman's lips and said, "Awan, don't bite yourself, bite me."

Su Wanti's eyes were filled with tears, her hair and clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and she looked up at the man in front of her.

The other party frowned, lowered his voice, and pretended to be calm, but the panic, vulnerability and fear in his eyes were clearly revealed.

At this moment, Su Wanti felt a warmth in her chest. This warmth was like a spark, instantly burning through her internal organs, every blood vessel, and every meridian.

[Host, the evil spell has been dispelled. I'll deduct the points myself!]

"Okay, okay, just deduct whatever you want." Su Wanti didn't even want to ask how many points it would cost. It was so painful just now. As long as it could be resolved, it would be fine with any number of points!

Su Wanti breathed a sigh of relief, her moist eyes fluttering gently, "I'm much better."

Her voice was still weak, her face was pale, and she looked like she had been fished out of the water.

Shang Xingjian frowned, unable to hide his heartache. He pursed his lips and said nothing, picked up Su Wanti and gently placed her on the bed.

He personally wiped her forehead, cheeks, neck and arms with warm water, gently and carefully.

It was as if Su Wanti was the most precious treasure in the world.

Su Wanti held Shang Xingjian's hand, her eyes clear as tears washed, "Your Highness should go to the palace now."

"How can I leave you at this time?" Shang Xingjian shook his head.

Su Wanti whispered, "I'm a doctor myself, and I know my body best. I just felt unbearable pain, but it wasn't a flare-up of illness. It was a sorcery. Someone is using it to kill me."

"The zombie technique is also a sorcery..."

Shang Xingjian understood immediately, "You mean they're ready to take action?"

Just at this time, Changliu brought a secret report from the palace, saying that Emperor Ning was suddenly ill and asked him to leave quickly.

Shang Xingjian's expression became serious, and he stood up, still holding Su Wanti's hand, reluctant to let go.

Su Wanti's expression improved a lot. She gently pinched Shang Xingjian's fingers and said:

"Your Majesty's safety is the only way for you and me to be safe, for Daning to be free from war, and for the people to live and work in peace. Go with peace of mind. I am a capable doctor. You must believe that I am capable of protecting myself."

Shang Xingjian took a deep breath and finally made up his mind. He let go of her hand, turned around and left. After walking a few steps, he couldn't help but look back at her.

Su Wanti's clear eyes met his longing gaze.

She smiled and waved. Shang Xingjian also smiled and waved gently, then turned and left again, this time without looking back.

However, he kept Changliu.

Changliu is the most powerful martial artist around him. Only with Changliu's protection can he feel at ease.

The housekeeper waited outside for a long time, but the imperial physician didn't show up. The servant who came back to report said, "At this hour, the palace gates are locked and no one is allowed in or out."

The housekeeper was startled, "But the prince just went to the palace."

The servant said, "Maybe they'll open the door and let you in once they see the prince. I haven't summoned the imperial physician, so what's the county lady going to do?"

At this time, the maidservant beside the county lady came to call the housekeeper, "The county lady said she is well now and there is no need to call the imperial physician. She also asked you to come over."

The butler felt relieved, raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and then followed the maid to the main courtyard.

Su Wanti asked him, "You came to see me just now, is there something you want to report?"

The housekeeper bowed and said, "That's right, Your Highness. Minister An and Madam An just came to visit and said they wanted to see you."

"Are they still in the palace now?" Su Wanti asked.

"When they heard that you, the county lady, were ill, they left and said they would come to visit you another day. They left a letter for you before leaving." The housekeeper handed over the envelope.

Su Wanti had expected the An family to come and ask for a meeting, but unfortunately, she was accidentally bewitched by an evil spell and missed the opportunity to meet Minister An.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Su Wanti asked the butler to leave.

She opened the letter, which was written by Mrs. An from Luzhou. The letter said that the housekeeper was originally a man of the underworld. She commissioned several people from the underworld to search for the portrait of Su Wanti's father Su Song in Daning, and they actually found some useful clues.

Those people from the martial arts world saw an attendant beside the ghost doctor Qingfeng Tongzi, who looked very much like Su Song.

It’s a pity that they couldn’t find the follower to confirm it.

Because the ghost doctor Qingfeng Tongzi is extremely alert, he has a terrifying poison technique.

The ghost doctor has a solitary and weird personality, and he doesn't allow anyone to get close to him.

No one dared to touch even his close followers.

Those people from the underworld only dared to follow from a distance and did not dare to come forward.

Now, the ghost doctor is heading towards the capital with his follower.

Su Wanti slowly closed the letter, her brows slightly furrowed.

Ghost doctor Qingfeng boy?
