Lu Cijian stopped him, staring intently at the person in his arms, his voice trembling as he said, "Bring Liu'er back, and all the medical professionals, the sooner the better."
Wang San quickly responded and rode his horse swiftly towards the outside of the city lord's mansion.
Lu Cijian held Jiang Yimian tightly as they walked towards the West Garden.
Xie Yang's laughter echoed behind him. "Lu Cijian, you're the one who ruined her. If you hadn't dragged her into Xie Jingxuan's affairs, why would I have attacked him?"
You're the one who deserves to die, and so is Xie Jingxuan. You should get revenge on him, hahaha.
Lu Cijian clenched his fist and kicked the longsword on the ground away. The sharp laughter behind him stopped abruptly.
Only after placing the person in his arms on the bed did Lu Cijian collapse to the ground.
He held Jiang Yimian's hand tightly, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the person on the bed. "Mianmian, please don't leave me."
Didn't you promise me that you would marry me after everything was settled?
"Did I do something wrong to make you angry? Please open your eyes and look at me, okay?"
The person on the bed still had their eyes closed, and their originally pale face had been replaced by a dark purple.
Lu Cijian felt that the other person's life force was rapidly decreasing, and he became panicked.
The tightly closed door was suddenly opened from the outside.
Liu'er staggered in from outside, and when she saw Jiang Yimian's current state, her eyes instantly reddened. "Miss has been poisoned. You all go out first."
As she spoke, she reached out and touched Jiang Yimian's wrist.
Lu Cijian was reluctant to leave, staring intently at the person on the bed, and recounted how Zhao Cheng was a medicine boy from the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
Liu'er simply nodded; Wang San had already told her on the way back.
Otherwise, the poison in the girl wouldn't have been so difficult to treat.
Seeing the serious look on Liu'er's face, Lu Cijian felt a jolt in his heart, and the panic of losing something surged through him again.
Xie Yang wasn't wrong. If he hadn't dragged Mianmian into this, how could she have gone through so much danger with him, and now...
Even after the door behind him closed tightly, Lu Cijian remained silent, his head bowed.
Wang San carefully examined Lu Cijian's wounds and said, "Young Master, let me bandage your wounds first. If the Princess wakes up and sees you like this, she will definitely be unhappy."
Lu Cijian remained silent, letting Wang San lead him into a side room.
But then the image of the strange old man he had met in Tuyuhun came to mind.
At that time, he didn't believe what the other person said, and since he had no news of that person, he didn't continue to dwell on what Ling Xu had said.
But now.
The man said that Mianmian didn't belong here and would have to leave sooner or later.
What does this sentence mean?
This means that Mianmian is actually fine, she's just not here for the time being.
Or is it as Ling Xu said, that his experience was the same as Xue Lingyu's?
Either way, it's enough to prove that Ling Xu knows something, and he definitely has a way to save Mianmian.
Thinking of this, he was stunned and quickly looked at the person beside him, "How is the Lingxu Daoist I asked you to investigate? Is there any news about him?"
Wang San was stunned for a moment before shaking his head.
He didn't know why the young master suddenly brought up that person. Back then, he had mobilized all the members of the Ink Pavilion, but there was still no trace of that person.
The Ink Pavilion is still investigating, but there is no trace of the other party. It's as if that person didn't exist and disappeared into thin air.
Lu Cijian fell silent again, then suddenly stood up and walked straight out of the house.
Liu'er happened to come out of the main house as well. He hurriedly went up to her and asked anxiously, "How is Mianmian? Is she alright?"
Liu'er shook her head with red eyes, "That poison is mixed with too many toxins, making it very difficult to cure. I have only temporarily controlled the spread of the toxins in your body."
But this method can only delay the inevitable for seven days. If the antidote is not available within seven days, young lady, young lady will still die.
As she finished speaking, her voice trembled with a hint of tears, her mind filled with memories of the various medical books she had read and the poisons she had developed over the years.
She never imagined that she would encounter such a situation again after leaving the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, watching the people she cared about leave right before her eyes.
She's just too useless. She was like that when she faced her master, and she's the same now when she faces the girl.
Over the years, she really hasn't made much progress.
Lu Cijian closed his eyes briefly, remained silent for a long time, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Isn't there any other way?"
Just as Liu'er was about to shake her head, a prescription suddenly popped into her mind. She hesitated for a long time before saying, "If, if we can find the Tianshan Snow Lotus, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope."
However, that thing is extremely rare and the chances of finding it are very small.
Even though she grew up in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, she had only heard of this legendary top-grade medicinal herb and had never seen it in person, which was enough to prove its preciousness.
Obtaining a Tian Shan snow lotus is just as difficult as curing the girl's poison.
Just as Lu Cijian was about to speak, he heard a weak voice, "I... I know where there are Tian Shan snow lotuses."
Tu Wen was helped in, looking as if he had been pulled out of a pool of blood, his face deathly pale.
Lu Cijian quickly replied, "Where can I find it?"
Tu Wen thought for a while before saying, "The top of Dahuai Mountain, which is two days away from here, is covered in snow all year round. The weather is cold and there are suitable conditions for snow lotus to survive."
However, it is also fraught with danger; one wrong step and you could get completely lost on the mountain and never return.
He had only seen one person successfully find the snow lotus on that mountain and leave alive when he was very young, but that person died from severe injuries shortly after leaving Dahuai Mountain, and the snow lotus disappeared without a trace.
Lu Cijian simply nodded and said to the person who had appeared beside him at some point, "Wang San, prepare some things. I'm going to Dahuaishan now."
After saying that, he walked straight out of the courtyard.
Tu Wen hurriedly said, "Lord Lu, you, you should send someone else. Your injuries are quite serious. If you go like this, you might not have a chance..."
Come back alive.
He didn't dare say the last few words.
The dangers on Mount Dahuai are beyond their imagination. It would be extremely difficult to successfully enter the mountain, find the snow lotus, and then descend, especially for someone like Lu Cijian who has already experienced several rounds of battles and is not in the best physical condition.
Lu Cijian simply said, "I will find the snow lotus."
He couldn't just sit here and wait for seven days to pass. No matter how difficult it was, he had to try as long as there was a glimmer of hope.
Wang San opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he said nothing and hurriedly went to pack what he needed.
