When Su Xi placed her hand on Shangguan Xuan's slightly cool wrist, carefully feeling his pulse, her brows furrowed slightly.
She slowly stood up, her sharp eyes looking at Mo Shisheng with a hint of gloom, and said softly, "Shangguan Xuan is fine, all the remaining poison in his body has been cleared."
"..."
The eyes of everyone present were filled with disbelief. If anyone else had said this, they would not have believed it, but this was Su Xi!
Who is Su Xi? Su Xi really dislikes Mo Shisheng, so it's safe to assume that what she says is true!
After Su Xi said those words, a complicated light flashed in Qi Yujin's eyes. He lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the slightly pale face in his arms, pursing his lips, waiting for Shangguan Qi to give him a reasonable explanation.
It’s over…
After Su Xi took Shangguan Xuan's pulse, her face paled even more. When her eyes met Qi Yujin's probing gaze, Shangguan Qi's body went weak and she almost lost her balance. However, Qi Yujin still firmly supported Shangguan Qi's body with her hands.
Shangguan Qi raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and spoke in a soft voice, "It's good that Big Brother's residual poison is gone..."
"Qi'er, what do you mean by that?"
Qi Yujin wasn't stupid; he discerned another meaning in Shangguan Qi's words and frowned as he inquired.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qi shook her head and tried to straighten up from Qi Yujin's embrace, but she couldn't muster the strength. With an "unintentional" movement, the hem of her clothes was lifted up a little more.
Her stained red calves were once again on display before everyone's eyes, but Shangguan Qi said softly, "Instructor Su Xi, thank you for your help. I thought what my mother said was a lie, but I didn't expect it to be true..."
"What did you say?"
Su Xi wasn't curious at first, but after Shangguan Qi said that, she also wanted to know what he meant.
Qi Yujin remained silent, her eyes fixed on Shangguan Qi.
Under so many gazes, Shangguan Qi shook his head, his eyes filled with sorrow as he looked at Mo Shisheng, "Yan'er, you've always refused to give me the Qi-restoring pill, but you surely don't know that my blood can save my elder brother, do you?"
"..."
Mo Shisheng raised an eyebrow slightly. What was Shangguan Qi up to now?
"Brother Yujin, please let go of Qi'er for a moment." Shangguan Qi turned back and smiled at Qi Yujin. After Qi Yujin released her, Shangguan Qi slightly lifted the hem of her clothes. "Mother once said that my blood can cure all poisons. I bled my elder brother when he was poisoned by snake venom, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Su Xi frowned deeply.
"I heard that Yan'er just fed snake gall to my elder brother. Who doesn't know that snake gall is highly poisonous? Yan'er, you really have a cruel heart..."
After hearing these words, everyone was completely brainwashed by Shangguan Qi's words.
"Can your blood truly cure all poisons?"
However, Su Xi's attention was on Shangguan Qi's blood, and a greedy glint flashed deep in her eyes.
“Su Xi didn’t target this matter too much. Situ Xue, you’re only telling me these things to distract yourself from your injuries.”
Mo Shisheng knew about Situ Xue's plan from the beginning, but she didn't expose it. She wanted to focus all her attention on Su Xi, the palace maid.
What Situ Xue didn't know was that even without Su Xi's incident, she wouldn't have let that palace maid off the hook. After all, she wasn't a saint; how could she possibly let go of someone who had harmed her?
