Chapter 92 Where is the Antidote?

Suddenly, Shen Xiao emerged from the shadows and plunged a sharp blade into Shen Shu's body.

Although Wen Hengzhi rushed to stop him, he was still a step too late.

Shen Shu felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, her vision began to blur, and warm liquid spread rapidly down her clothes, sticking stickily to her skin.

She subconsciously looked down and saw that the glaring red was seeping out from under the light-colored ruqun, just like cinnabar splashed on the snow in winter.

Wen Hengzhi's exclamation sounded somewhat unreal: "Quick! Someone come quick! There's an assassin!"

Seeing that Shen Shu was still angry, Shen Xiao became furious and wanted to finish her off.

He could be pushed away by Wen Hengzhi.

When he saw Shen Xiao's face clearly, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

Shen Xiao had never met Wen Hengzhi before, and seeing him protecting Shen Shu so much, she could no longer suppress the jealousy in her eyes.

"Where did you come from? What's so great about that bitch Shen Shu that you're all protecting her!"

As she spoke, she brandished the sharp blade in her hand like a madwoman, trying to pounce on Shen Shu again.

Wen Hengzhi held her down tightly, oblivious to the cuts his arm made by the blade, and shouted sharply, "Guards! Seize her!"

Upon hearing the commotion, the guards rushed over and quickly subdued the seemingly deranged Shen Xiao.

Shen Xiao was pinned to the ground, her hair disheveled, her face twisted with hatred: "Shen Shu! You deserve to die a horrible death! You've ruined the Shen family like this, why doesn't God punish you? You're still at large! God is unjust!"

I curse you, I curse you to die a horrible death!

Her voice was shrill and piercing, echoing in the courtyard, filled with endless resentment and bitterness.

Shen Shu lay on the cold ground, her consciousness gradually fading, and waves of pain washed over her lower abdomen.

Even if she were to be reborn, would she still be unable to escape the fate of dying a violent death?

That's fine, perhaps this way we can finally get rid of this entangled feud.

She felt her body getting lighter and lighter, as if she were about to float away, and the anxious shouts of Wen Hengzhi in her ears were getting farther and farther away.

Shen Xiao laughed maniacally: "Hahahaha... Good riddance, good riddance!"

"Shut up!"

Wen Hengzhi turned his head sharply, his eyes blazing with anger.

The commotion here had already alerted people.

The princess stumbled out of the inner hall and saw Shen Shu lying in a pool of blood in the distance. Her legs went weak and she was about to faint when the nanny beside her held her up tightly. Her voice trembled and became incoherent.

"Quickly...quickly summon the imperial physician! Summon the imperial physician!"

When Lin Wei arrived, he saw the guards dragging Shen Xiao away. She was still struggling and screaming, her fingernails scratching the bluestone slabs with a harsh sound.

His gaze swept over the glaring crimson, his heart clenched suddenly, and he almost stumbled as he rushed to Shen Shu's side.

The warm liquid that his fingertips touched made them tremble. He didn't dare look down at the ever-expanding bloodstain, but just held her cold hand tightly, his voice choked with sobs.

"Shu'er... hang in there... the imperial physician is coming soon..."

Shen Shu struggled to open her eyelids a crack, and through her blurry vision, she saw Lin Wei's anxious face.

She wanted to raise her hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, but she didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.

The excruciating pain in her lower abdomen felt like countless dull knives were churning inside her. She opened her mouth, but only a faint gasp could be heard from her throat.

When the imperial physician arrived, Shen Shu's breath was already as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.

The silver needles were inserted, and the medicine box was filled with bottle after bottle of wound medicine, but the gushing blood seemed to never stop.

Lin Wei knelt by the bedside, watching the imperial physicians shake their heads helplessly, feeling as if the blood in his body had frozen instantly.

He suddenly grabbed the head physician: "Save her...I order you to save her!"

The imperial physician was horrified by the madness in his eyes and said in a trembling voice, "My lord... Miss Shen has lost too much blood. Although the bleeding has stopped, there are signs of poisoning. If we cannot obtain the antidote, even if we, your humble servants, exhaust all our medical skills, I'm afraid... I'm afraid she won't live more than three months."

"Three months?" Lin Wei suddenly pushed him away.

"If you can't save Shen Shu, I'll make you all pay with your lives!"

The imperial physicians were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They all knelt down on the ground, not daring to even breathe, and hurriedly went inside to consider the medication.

This night was destined to be long.

What should have been a joyous family reunion banquet has now turned into a tragedy.

Lin Wei's eyes were red. This was not a natural disaster, but a man-made one. How could he let Shen Xiao off the hook!

The prison.

Lin Wei looked at Shen Xiao, who was covered in wounds, his eyes devoid of any emotion: "What kind of poison did you use? Where is the antidote!"

Shen Xiao had completely lost her mind: "So... there are things even Lord Lin doesn't know! Aren't you so amazing? Why don't you investigate?! Hahahaha..."

Thinking back on how she had survived the past few months, she felt she hadn't stabbed Shen Shu enough.

At that time, Shen Xiao was rescued by Wen Lanting's secret guards. She begged the guards to take her to the border state, but unexpectedly, she escaped from the tiger's den to the wolf's den.

She only thought of Chi Hu Xin Yue and her.

However, the relationships and power behind Chi Hu can be ignored.

It was only later that Shen Xiao learned that Chi Hu's arrival in Bianzhou was entirely due to the behind-the-scenes promotion by Prince Cheng.

For Chi Hu, King Cheng was like a second parent to him.

Shen Xiao stabbed King Cheng, and in Chi Hu's eyes, Shen Xiao was an enemy.

Brothers are like hands and feet, women are like clothes.

How could Chi Hu take in this woman who harmed his benefactor?

So he tricked Shen Xiao into his possession, and after he got tired of her, he threw her into the military camp.

Let the brothers in the army have a good time.

At that time, Shen Xiao still held onto a sliver of hope and went to beg Chi Hu, but was stripped naked and thrown out violently.

She spent several months in the military camp barely clothed before the secret guards finally found an opportunity to rescue her.

But by then, Shen Xiao had become a military prostitute who slept with a thousand men, which the secret guards found utterly repulsive.

After rescuing the person, they immediately sold them to a brothel.

If Shen Xiao hadn't used all her charms to snag a brothel owner in his fifties and become his thirty-eighth concubine, she probably would have died in the brothel long ago.

One night, Shen Xiao stabbed her husband, who was over fifty years old, to death.

He fled back to the capital overnight.

But then they heard the news that Wen Lanting and Shen Lian had died, and that Shen Qiushan had gone mad.

Shen Shu was not only adopted as a goddaughter by the princess, but her marriage to Lin Wei was also put on the agenda.

After laughing all night, Shen Xiao went completely mad.

She had only one thought: to kill Shen Shu! Kill Shen Shu! Kill Shen Shu!

She hated Shen Shu, that wretched woman who usurped her place, and hated her for taking away everything that should have been hers!

These days, she has been hiding near the Bo Gong Mansion, waiting for an opportunity. Today, with so many people and eyes watching, it is the perfect time to make her move.

She originally thought that killing Shen Shu would vent her anger, but she didn't expect that this bitch would still have someone protecting her!

Looking at her mad appearance, Lin Wei felt a wave of nausea wash over him.

He slowly drew his sword from his waist, the cold blade pressed against Shen Xiao's neck: "Speak! How did you escape? Shouldn't you have been dead long ago?"

"If you don't produce the antidote, I will make you wish you were dead!"

Shen Xiao, however, just laughed wildly, his laughter as shrill as a ghost's wail.

"It's Heaven! Even Heaven can't stand that vile woman Shen Shu's tyranny, so it sent me to take her life! Lord Lin, you should worry about your beloved. She's been stabbed with my poisoned dagger; even a god couldn't save her!"
