Seeing this change, Helian Rongxia couldn't help but have a glimmer of understanding in his eyes. Sure enough, her blood could cure the poison of his vulture brown.

It must have been she who cured Mo Qiyuan of the poison. The doubt that had been bothering him for many days was finally resolved today.

He called someone in and carried away the maid, whose complexion had returned to normal.

Turning to look at Ye Jinyun, he couldn't help but add a bit of surprise in his eyes. He buried his head in Ye Jinyun's ear and said:

"Mrs. Yun is indeed a treasure. I cannot let you go. You should stay by my side from now on."

Leave your sister alone!

Listening to Helian Rongxia's words, Ye Jinyun regretted for the first time her extraordinary physique. If she didn't have such a strong buff on her, would Helian Rongxia not be so interested in her?

But she had no idea that some things had already taken root in the hearts of the people in front of her without her seeing clearly.

Perhaps it was the interest he had in her when they first met, perhaps it was the stunning sight that captivated him, or perhaps it was her calm demeanor in the face of adversity that repeatedly attracted this cruel and tyrannical monster.

Ye Jinyun didn't know all this. She didn't want to talk to Helian Rongxia anymore and closed her eyes, not wanting to look at him.

But Helian Rongxia didn't care about her attitude towards him. He lifted up Ye Jinyun's arm that was cut by him, wiped the blood off with a wet handkerchief, and prepared to sprinkle some medicine to promote wound healing on it.

But he was surprised to find that the wound on Ye Jinyun's arm had scabbed over quickly. Even though he knew that she had many secrets, he couldn't help but be surprised again.

He reached out and hugged her waist, feeling the stiff but warm body in his arms due to the acupuncture points, and some emotions bloomed even more in his heart.

After that day, Ye Jinyun didn't want to talk to Helian Rongxia anymore. She would only say a few words when she was forced into a corner. The rest of the time she would remain silent. Helian Rongxia was quite uncomfortable with this, and she would try every means to find a few provocative words to provoke her to speak.

Moreover, since she left the stone chamber, Helian Rongxia no longer locked her in the room. If she wanted to go out for a walk, he would send someone to follow her.

But Ye Jinyun knew that although there were only a few maids around her, she had the system detect that there were at least a dozen secret guards in the dark, watching her every move.

This day

Ye Jinyun was walking in the garden of Beirong Palace when she saw that the lotus flowers blooming in the lotus pond in the garden were actually black.

Thinking of the black lotus totems everywhere in the Beirong Palace, she couldn't help but feel curious:

"Wanyu, why are these lotus flowers black?"

Wanyu was the maid arranged by Helian Rongxia to serve Ye Jinyun. When Ye Jinyun was still in the stone chamber, she was the one who delivered meals to him every day and helped him bathe and wash himself, so Ye Jinyun was most familiar with her.

This girl's personality was more to Ye Jinyun's liking. Although she was loyal to Helian Rongxia, after chatting with her, he discovered that she was actually a chatterbox. During the time that Ye Jinyun was out of the stone chamber, he talked to her every day to pass the time in captivity.

Upon hearing this, Wan Yu pointed at the strange black lotus that was in full bloom in the pond and said:

"Madam, this kind of black lotus is a unique species in our Beirong Kingdom. Before the king was appointed crown prince, he studied poison theory under the Poison Sage of the Medicine King Valley in Beirong. When the king returned to the palace after completing his studies, he brought back the new black lotus he cultivated in the Medicine King Valley and planted it in the lotus pond of the palace. Thus, this pond of black lotus was created.

After the king ascended the throne, he regarded the black lotus as the sacred flower of our Northern Rong nation and carved its image into a totem, which was spread throughout the palace.

Then she looked at Ye Jinyun again and said to her seriously:

"Madam, you can admire these black lotuses from afar, but be sure not to pick them. As black as their appearance, these black lotuses are extremely poisonous. If you accidentally get their juice on your hands or accidentally eat them, even gods won't be able to save you."

Ye Jinyun was surprised. If such a poison was kept in the palace, why would it be kept in the open? Wouldn't that be putting the poison in the open? What if someone used it to poison Helian Rongxia? He would be dead.

Wanyu seemed to see her confusion and explained:

"Madam, you must be wondering why this black lotus is so poisonous and why it is planted so openly in this palace, right?

That's because although this black lotus is extremely poisonous, it is a variety cultivated by our king himself, and we have already prepared an antidote to its toxicity.

Furthermore, when the king was studying toxicology in Medicine King Valley in his early years, he had already tested various poisons on himself, cultivating a physique that was immune to all poisons. Therefore, no one would be foolish enough to use poisoning to deal with the king.

Ye Jinyun couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this. She didn't expect that Helian Rongxia had the same physique as her that was immune to all poisons. It's just that she could detoxify any poison, while he could tolerate any poison.

No wonder he also smelled the soul-soothing incense in the stone chamber that day but was not harmed. She thought he was fine because he had taken the antidote in advance, but she didn't expect that it was child's play for him.

Ye Jinyun withdrew his thoughts and continued to listen to Wan Yu's words:

"Didn't Madam detoxify Qiu Shuang a few days ago? The drink His Majesty made her drink was the eagle brown drink he developed two years ago using this black lotus. Not only that, the King also raised some poisonous insects, and every few days he would have people pick this black lotus to feed them."

What? This Helian Rongxia not only makes poisons, but also raises Gu. So why doesn't he just become a cult leader? Why is he the king of Beirong?

Wan Yu ignored Ye Jinyun's surprised expression and continued to talk to herself:

"Last year, the king raised a particularly strange Gu. I even fed it myself once. It's very interesting. I heard from the sisters in the Gu room that if the Gu gets into a person's body, it needs a blood connection, but it can't be the blood of the person's relatives, in order to be cured.

Madam, isn't that very interesting? Doesn't this indicate that the insect is specifically designed to target men? Furthermore, the only one who can cure it is the lady who is pregnant with the man's child. I don't know why the king cultivated this kind of insect; it's too easy to cure."

Wan Yu shook her head helplessly, obviously speechless about the low-level solution to the poisonous insect, but Ye Jinyun's heart was in turmoil.

Why did she feel that the Gu that Wan Yu was talking about was specially cultivated by Helian Rongxia to deal with Mo Qiyuan?

If we were to say what was the most difficult thing for Mo Qiyuan, it would definitely be having children. If he was infected with the poison that Wan Yu mentioned, where would he find a woman who was pregnant with his child?

It was only because he met me later, otherwise he would have been completely controlled by Helian Rongxia.

Speaking of this, Ye Jinyun suddenly thought, would Helian Rongxia be unwilling to let him go back for this reason? If he planned to use this kind of poisonous insect to deal with Mo Qiyuan, wouldn't he be the key to his detoxification?

She just said that Helian Rongxia must have a conspiracy to keep her in Beirong, and she almost thought that he had fallen in love with her.

It's impossible to think about it. How could he, a man who is so cruel and indifferent to life, have such emotions? That would be a fatal weakness for him.
