The Emperor hasn't replied to her yet, and there's been no movement from the Northern Frontier. Furthermore, she still needs to get information from him about the poison, so he can't die yet.
After Lin Yuxin figured it out, she pouted, looking extremely disgusted, but still treated him.
Lin Yuxin took his pulse, then prescribed medicine and asked Wang Yu to brew it. Then she and Xiao Hao bandaged up the wound on Qiling King's back and gave him a heart-protecting pill to save his life.
[What happens next depends on his fate. She did treat him, so don't say she didn't help him when he's dying!]
Lin Yuxin finished getting ready and left, instructing the guards to keep an eye on him before she left.
"Inform me when he wakes up, and don't let him die."
"yes!"
The guard at the prison cell door responded.
Lin Yuxin was extremely busy every day, and Xiao Hao followed her around silently, sometimes even helping to hand her things.
Lin Yuxin had previously taught Xiao Hao some knowledge about medicinal herbs in the capital, hoping that he would have the ability to identify poisons and protect himself in the future.
But I haven't had time to teach him anything else since then, so I took advantage of this time when I was with her to teach him some other things, such as acupuncture and poison.
Xiao Hao listened attentively and learned diligently without complaining of being tired.
King Qiling didn't wake up until the third day. When the guards came to report, Lin Yuxin was checking on the people who had been poisoned by Gu, and found that the Gu poison in some patients could no longer be suppressed.
Moreover, some patients have begun to exhibit a state of frenzy, biting anyone they encounter, with red eyes that look quite frightening.
While everyone was in a state of panic, Lin Yuxin had the people tie up the crazed civilians and then used silver needles to prick them a few times, instantly calming them down.
Lin Yuxin then ordered the guards to lock these people in a separate room.
They were afraid they would hurt other civilians.
Then Lin Yuxin went straight to the prison cell. If the Qiling King didn't wake up, she would have no choice but to use the Zhiji.
Otherwise, if the poison takes effect on those people, they will truly become fools.
Lin Yuxin looked at Qiling King lying on the straw mat bed. After the torment of the past few days, he had long lost his former high spirits.
He now looked like a beggar; his once-noble clothes were now tattered, his handsome face was covered in a scruffy beard, and the fact that he hadn't eaten much for days, along with his injuries, made his life a living hell.
Seeing his expression, Lin Yuxin felt much better. She spoke sarcastically:
"King Qiling? Still alive? I thought you were dead! It seems the people of the Northern Frontier are really tough!"
When King Qiling saw Lin Yuxin enter, he became somewhat agitated. It was this woman who had captured him, and he wished he could rush up and bite her to death. However, he was currently weak and powerless, and the wound on his back was causing him unbearable pain.
Then he heard the woman mocking him again, and King Qiling's face turned red with anger.
"Woman, if you have the guts, kill me! Once I get out of here, I'll tear you to pieces!!!"
King Qiling said through gritted teeth.
"Oh! Still have the energy to shout and curse here? Not bad! I've come here today to ask you some questions! I wonder if Prince Qiling can answer them?"
Lin Yuxin originally wanted to tease him a little more, but then she remembered that she had important business to attend to, so she started talking about serious matters.
"If I answer, will you let me go?"
When King Qiling heard that Lin Yuxin needed his help, he slowly calmed his anger and looked up at Lin Yuxin to ask her a question.
"cannot!"
Lin Yuxin shook her head bluntly.
"Then I know nothing!"
When King Qiling heard that he would not have a chance to leave, he immediately shut his mouth and said that he did not know.
"That's not up to you!"
Lin Yuxin smiled and spoke, her eyes fixed on Qiling King.
Although King Qiling did not intend to say anything, he kept his eyes on Lin Yuxin. He was afraid that this woman would cause trouble again. The previous explosion that killed or injured more than half of his men had already left a deep shadow in his heart.
Although he wished he could kill the woman, he knew that she was extremely dangerous in his heart and he had to be careful.
But as he looked at her, he felt something was wrong. Lin Yuxin's eyes were like a whirlpool, as if they were about to pull him into an endless abyss.
Gradually, King Qiling's eyes began to glaze over.
"Who ordered you to attack the Xia Kingdom?"
Lin Yuxin asked softly.
"No one, not the Holy Maiden, made a deal with the people of Xia Kingdom. As long as Li Xiaochen is killed, Xia Kingdom will give five cities to the Northern Frontier."
King Qiling looked dazed, but obediently answered.
The guards outside the cell all wore expressions of shock. What kind of magic did the princess use? How could she so easily make someone obediently reveal their secret?
Xiao Hao looked at Lin Yuxin with admiration. He had always known that his sister was amazing, but he never expected her to be this amazing.
It can make the enemy lower their guard and obey orders without lifting a finger.
Who is it?
Lin Yuxin asked again.
"I don't know, the Holy Maiden didn't say, but I heard the Holy Maiden say that this person is an important minister of the Xia Kingdom."
Qiling King Mumu's answer.
Lin Yuxin's heart tightened. A high-ranking official of the Xia Kingdom? This would be difficult to investigate. The Xia Kingdom had at least several hundred officials, and a high-ranking official? He must be someone who could meet the emperor.
She had previously suspected it was related to the Third Prince? Could it be someone else? It seems Li Xiaochen needs to send people back to investigate thoroughly.
Who administered the Gu poison in Quyan County this time?
Lin Yuxin asked again.
"It was the Gu poison administered by Xue Ji, a maidservant under the Holy Maiden."
