Chapter 294 Antidote

Raising an eyebrow, Yun Yichen waved to Ji Wenxuan.

Although Ji Wenxuan was extremely unwilling, he still moved over step by step. "What! Speak quickly if you have something to say."

After explaining his plans to Ji Wenxuan, Yun Yichen gave him a look that said, "You're really mean," but in an instant, he himself revealed a look of excitement.

Three days later, in an inconspicuous restaurant in the city.

Gu Yingjie led Ouyang Bin to the private room as promised, and upon entering, they saw Xu Yunzhi waiting inside.

"Young Master Xu."

After bowing, Gu Yingjie pushed Ouyang Bin in front of Xu Yunzhi. Xu Yunzhi didn't waste any words with him and immediately examined Ouyang Bin.

After confirming the type of poison Ouyang Bin had been given, Xu Yunzhi immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket.

"This medicine can neutralize most of the poison in Young Master Ouyang's body. After taking it, he needs to recuperate for more than a month before taking the remaining antidote to completely detoxify him."

As Xu Yunzhi spoke, a small pill fell into Ouyang Bin's hand. Looking at the small black pill in front of him, Ouyang Bin's hand trembled slightly.

Somewhat uncertainly, he asked, "After the detoxification, will I still be able to stand up?"

“Naturally, Young Master Ouyang’s leg injury was caused by poisoning. Once the poison is neutralized, he will be able to stand up again.”

Xu Yunzhi's words were like heavenly music to Ouyang Bin. When everyone said he was beyond saving, Xu Yunzhi told him that he could stand up again after just one month of recuperation. Only someone who had experienced this could understand the feeling.

"If there's nothing else, Young Master Xu, we'll take our leave now."

Having obtained the medicine, Gu Yingjie really didn't want to stay here any longer, so he pushed Ouyang Bin to leave.

But Xu Yunzhi clearly had no intention of letting him leave so easily. "Second Young Master, wouldn't you like to sit down and have some tea?"

Xu Yunzhi's smile remained gentle, but his eyes clearly carried a threatening meaning, implying that he could retract his previous decision if Gu Yingjie refused.

Gu Yingjie was naturally not going to back down at this point, so he paused after taking a step out the door, but ultimately did not leave.

"Why don't we send Young Master Ouyang back first?"

Xu Yunzhi, without waiting for Gu Yingjie's agreement, ordered his men to push Ouyang Bin away.

"Is there anything else you wish to say, Young Master Xu?"

Gu Yingjie watched Ouyang Bin's departing figure, then turned around and closed the door. He noticed that Xu Yunzhi's expression was already quite unpleasant.

"Naturally, it's about what the Second Young Master promised me before. Could it be that the Second Young Master intends to break his promise?" Xu Yunzhi's teasing voice rang out, causing Gu Yingjie to frown again.

Not long after Gu Shuyan received the emperor's reward, the Sun family sent her an invitation to a plum blossom appreciation banquet on Laba Festival.

"Miss, I'm afraid this plum blossom viewing banquet isn't as simple as it seems. Why don't you just cancel it?"

The Sun family made no attempt to conceal their intentions, and even the two maids knew exactly what was going on.

"Now that the Sun family is no longer checked by the Duke of Anguo's mansion, they are the only powerful family in the capital. Although the Marquis's mansion is not afraid of them, it's always better to avoid trouble. Besides, if we don't go and see for ourselves, how will we know what the Fifth Prince is planning?"

Gu Shuyan knew that Pearl was also thinking of her, but could she really hide at home and avoid it? The answer was obviously no. Rather than letting others find an opportunity, she might as well take the initiative.

So, on the day of Laba Festival, Gu Shuyan got up early and had two maids do her hair in the most fashionable style at the time.
