Chapter 210 Detoxification

Chen He only felt a buzzing sound in his ears, and the blood color instantly faded from his face.

Yan Qingyi was even more shocked, and his red eyes stared at the old doctor, as if he wanted to see through him.

"Poisoned?"

His voice was hoarse, almost tuneless, and filled with disbelief.

"Are you serious, sir?!"

Shen He also came to his senses and grabbed the old doctor's sleeve, his knuckles turning white from the force.

"How could she be poisoned? Sui Xin was fine, how could she be poisoned?!"

The old doctor looked solemn and bowed to the two of them.

"I have been practicing medicine for decades and I will never be wrong."

"Mr. Chen was poisoned by no ordinary poison."

Yan Qingyi seemed to have lost all his strength. He suddenly turned towards Chen He, his eyes filled with panic.

"What did she...what did she touch today? What did she eat?!"

Chen He tried desperately to recall the past, her mind was in a mess, but she still shook her head vigorously.

"No!"

"Sui Xin woke up late today and went straight to the dance studio without even having breakfast!"

"Nothing to eat, nothing to drink!"

Yan Qingyi's face became paler and paler, and a terrible thought popped into his mind.

"Could it be..."

"Did you get tricked in Chen's house?"

"Won't."

The old doctor flatly denied it, twirling his beard with a sharp gaze.

"The poisoning didn't last long, only about an hour."

"And the poison isn't very strong. It seems the person who poisoned her just wanted to teach Ms. Chen a lesson, not take her life."

He paused, and every word he said was like a huge rock, hitting everyone's heart.

"This poison was contracted in this academy!"

Academy!

These two words made Shen He feel cold in his heart.

This is Yunshan Academy, the hard work of her master, and the place she vowed to protect!

Someone actually dared to poison Sui Xin here, right under her nose!

Her eyes swept across the room, passed the anxious Yan Qingyi, passed the heavy-hearted doctor, and finally landed on the small, curled-up figure in the corner.

Xiao Jingchi.

Since he came in, he has been staying there quietly, like a frightened little animal, with his head down and not saying a word.

Chen He's heart suddenly softened, and his voice unconsciously became much softer.

"Jing Chi."

She walked over slowly, squatted down, and looked at him at eye level.

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Jingchi raised his head, his clear eyes were filled with moisture, his lips were pursed, and his voice was tearful.

"I...I'm here to find Sister He..."

"I passed by the dance studio and saw Sister Chen dancing..."

He seemed to remember something and his eyes lit up.

"Sister Chen dances so beautifully, like a butterfly..."

"I just... I just leaned against the window and watched..."

But soon, his little face wrinkled again.

"But...but there's a stove in the room. It stinks. It makes me dizzy..."

"I don't like the smell, so I want to push it away..."

He stretched out his little hand, gestured, and his voice became softer and softer.

"And then... and then I accidentally knocked it over..."

incense burner?

Chen He stood up suddenly and looked at Yan Qingyi, both of them saw surprise and suspicion in each other's eyes.

Yan Qingyi's voice suddenly became sharp.

"What incense burner?!"

"In order to allow students to stretch their bodies, the dance studio is never allowed to light any incense!"

Chen He immediately gave orders to the servants guarding outside the door.

"go!"

"Bring me the incense burner in the dance room immediately!"

The servant did not dare to delay and left as quickly as a flash.

Soon, a small copper stove with an ancient shape was presented, with some unburned incense ash inside.

The old doctor took the incense burner, leaned in and smelled it, and his face suddenly changed!

He brought the incense burner to his nose, sniffed it carefully, then picked up a little incense ash with his fingernails and ground it finely on his fingertips.

After a moment, he raised his head, his eyes filled with complete understanding and horror.

"That's the problem!"

He placed the incense burner heavily on the table, making a dull "dang" sound.

"Someone has mixed the poison of 'Blood-scattering Incense' into this incense ash!"

"Spreading blood fragrance?" Chen He was puzzled.

She couldn't help but ask.

"But Sui Xin wasn't the only one in the dance studio. Why were everyone else safe and sound?"

"Why was she the only one poisoned?"

The old doctor sighed deeply, his eyes showing a hint of fear at the poisoner's deep scheming.

"The princess doesn't know."

"The poison of this 'Blood-scattering Fragrance' is extremely sinister and treacherous."

"If you sit quietly and smell it, this fragrance is no different from ordinary calming incense. At most, it will make you feel slightly dizzy and weak."

The old doctor's gaze slowly shifted to the lifeless figure on the bed, and his voice sank.

"But once someone who smells the fragrance engages in strenuous activity, it causes their blood vessels to surge and their qi and blood to flow upward..."

"This poison will be activated instantly and invade all the internal organs in a matter of seconds!"

"Mr. Chen is in the dance studio, practicing...dancing."

In an instant, a bone-chilling chill rushed from the soles of Shen He's feet to the top of his head!

All the blood in her body seemed to have frozen.

A terrible, yet only, conclusion came to her mind.

The old doctor looked at her suddenly pale face and told her the cruel truth word by word.

"so……"

"This poison, from the very beginning, was aimed at Mr. Chen alone!"

"This is a dead end tailor-made for her!"

A violent murderous intent surged in Yan Qingyi's chest, almost breaking through the shackles of reason.

It’s right here in Yunshan Academy, right on his territory!

At this moment, the old doctor's old and steady voice sounded again.

"but……"

He changed the subject and his gaze fell on the still bewildered figure.

"Luckily enough, it was His Royal Highness Prince Ning who knocked over the incense burner."

When these words came out, Shen He and Yan Qingyi were both stunned.

The old doctor stroked his beard, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

"The poison of this 'Blood-scattering Fragrance' accumulates over time."

"If we let that incense burn for another half stick, the poison will penetrate our lungs and blood vessels..."

He shook his head and sighed.

"By then, even if a great immortal descended to earth, there would be nothing that could save the situation."

boom--

Chen He felt that the string in his head, which was stretched to the extreme, broke in an instant.

She turned her head abruptly, her eyes fixed on Xiao Jingchi in the corner.

He still looked like a frightened little deer, with tears in his big eyes. He looked at the adults in the room in panic, completely confused about what was going on.

Chen He took a step forward and walked over slowly, her skirt brushing the ground without making a sound.

"Jing Chi, don't be afraid."

Xiao Jingchi looked at her timidly, his mouth pouting and tears welling up in his eyes.

"You didn't get into trouble."

"Jing Chi, it was you who saved Sister Sui Xin."

"Thank you, Jing Chi."

Xiao Jingchi seemed to understand, but he just felt that Sister He's hands were very warm and her smile was very beautiful. The fear in his heart mostly dissipated, and he nodded blankly.

On the other side, Yan Qingyi seemed to wake up from a nightmare, and he suddenly grasped a glimmer of hope.

He rushed to the old doctor in one step, his voice hoarse.

"gentlemen!"

"Now that we know where the poison came from, then... does Sui Xin have a way to save her?!"

His eyes were filled with pure pleading and desperate hope.

The old doctor looked at him like this and finally smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yan."

"Everything in the world is interdependent and mutually exclusive. Now that we know the source of the poison, it will be easy to deal with."

He waved his hand confidently.

"rest assured."

"I will prescribe a prescription right away. I will use internal medicine to clear the blood poison, and then use acupuncture to prick the blood vessels and force out the remaining poison in the internal organs."

"Within seven days, I guarantee that Mr. Chen will be fully recovered without any trace of the disease remaining."

These words, like a decree from heaven, struck Yan Qingyi's heart heavily.

His straight spine suddenly softened as if all the strength was drained away.

The whole person relaxed.

"Thank you, sir..."
