Chapter 37: Detoxification
Back to Mo Ruyan.
Mo Ruyan finished her bath and changed into clean clothes. The food prepared by the servants in the mansion was brought to her. She simply ate some to fill her stomach and then went to Yan Chengyun's room.
Mo Ruyan reached out and knocked on Yan Chengyun's door, and shouted in a clear voice: "Mom, I'm here."
"Come in." Yan Chengyun's voice came from the room.
Mo Ruyan pushed the door open and saw Yan Chengyun sitting at the table. On the table were some cakes that she had loved to eat since she was a child.
"Ruyan, come here. You've been suffering outside these days and you look haggard. I personally prepared your favorite cakes for you. Come and have a try."
Yan Chengyun saw that she looked troubled, with some concern and distress in his eyes, and said with heartache.
"Thank you, mother." Mo Ruyan walked forward and sat next to Yan Chengyun, but did not touch the pastries on the table. She had no appetite to eat now.
Seeing that Mo Ruyan was acting a little strange, Yan Chengyun couldn't help but ask, "Ruyan, are you unhappy about something? Talk to mom."
"Nothing, Mom. I'm probably just a little tired and want to rest." Mo Ruyan shook her head. She didn't want to make her mother worry.
"My silly girl, you were born after ten months of pregnancy. You are my flesh and blood. Others may not understand you, but how can I not understand you? Every time you are distressed, you unconsciously like to pull at the corner of your clothes. Who is so bold as to make my precious daughter angry? Tell me and I will help you vent your anger."
Mo Ruyan remained silent. She wanted to tell Yan Chengyun what had happened, but she didn't know how to say it.
"Is it because of your father's matter?" Yan Chengyun suddenly said.
Mo Ruyan looked shocked.
Seeing her expression, Yan Chengyun immediately realized that his guess was almost right.
Yan Chengyun sighed quietly, took Mo Ruyan's fair and slender hand with his right hand, gently covered the back of her hand with his left hand, and said earnestly: "Ruyan, don't resent your father. Your father is too popular. Even if he wants to hide his shortcomings, others will not allow it. He is a king of a different surname and a thorn in the eyes of the court. He has a lot of things to do. Maybe he didn't do well enough in some aspects, which made you feel wronged and hurt your heart, but we are a family. You have to believe your father. He will never hurt you."
Hearing this, Mo Ruyan seemed to be lost in thought. The depression in her chest gradually dissipated under Yan Chengyun's gentle words.
"I don't hate you, but I don't understand why you did that. We almost died on the way back. Wan Yunxiang forced Liu Yang to take the Heart-Erosion Pill for that. He was poisoned to protect me and brought me back. But I couldn't help at all."
Whenever Mo Ruyan thought of Lai Yang being poisoned by the Heart-Eroding Pill, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
The Heart-Eroding Pill takes effect once every three months, and once it does, it will be a fate worse than death.
Without an antidote, the poisoned person will eventually die from heart rot.
It has been more than a month since he took the Heart-Eroding Pill, and it will take at most another month for the pill to take effect.
"By the way, the Heart-Eroding Pill, Mom, do you have the antidote for the Heart-Eroding Pill? Liu Yang has been poisoned!" Mo Ruyan suddenly reacted and asked hurriedly.
Yan Chengyun shook his head and explained, "The Heart-Eroding Pill is a pill specially made by the imperial court to control warriors to be obedient. Once you are poisoned by the Heart-Eroding Pill, there is no antidote. You need to take the antidote once every three months, but it only relieves the onset of the toxicity and cannot completely eliminate the poison of the Heart-Eroding Pill."
Mo Ruyan's face turned pale, she couldn't believe it: "Is there no other way?"
"Of course there are ways. If you want to completely remove the poison from the Heart-Eroding Pill, there are three ways now."
"There are three ways? That's great, mother, please tell me, what method can be used to detoxify the Heart-Eroding Pill?" Mo Ruyan asked excitedly.
Yan Chengyun looked at Mo Ruyan meaningfully with her beautiful eyes. She had never seen Mo Ruyan so concerned about something before. She was probably in love with the man named Liu Yang.
"The first method is to find Hua Saituo, who is known as a miracle doctor in the martial arts world. If there is anyone who can cure the poison of the Heart-Eroding Pill, it must be him. However, this person travels around and his whereabouts are erratic. He often disappears without a trace, and his personality is unpredictable. Even if we find Hua Saituo, he may not be willing to cure the poison."
Mo Ruyan thought about it and asked, "What about the second method?"
"The second method is to find a sixth-rank martial arts master and use the power absorption method to transfer the toxins in the other person's Heart-Eroding Pill to your own body. As long as most of the toxins are absorbed, the residual toxins will still cause pain and discomfort, but drugs can be used to suppress the residual toxins. At least your life will be safe, but the sixth-rank master who is responsible for absorbing the drugs will most likely die."
The life of a martial arts master is so precious, who would easily give up his life for an unrelated person? This is a joke.
Although the second method is a little more reliable than the first one, it is not much better.
What's more, the second method would not only cost the life of a martial arts master, but would also have huge side effects.
"Mom, what's the last way?" Mo Ruyan held a last glimmer of hope in her heart.
Yan Chengyun saw what Mo Ruyan was thinking, sighed softly, and said in a clear voice: "The last way is to find a top-notch expert who is at the level of a fifth-grade grandmaster or above, and use his own lifespan and internal strength as a price to forcibly expel the toxins from the Corrosion Pill."
"Not to mention how hard it is to find a fourth-grade strongman in the world. Even if there is one, even the current emperor would have to show respect to him. Unless there is a huge favor, how could such a great man be willing to waste his own lifespan and inner strength to help others get rid of poison?" Yan Chengyun said helplessly.
"Mom, is there no other way?" Mo Ruyan asked without giving up.
Yan Chengyun shook his head silently.
Mo Ruyan was completely disappointed.
The three methods Yan Chengyun mentioned were either extremely difficult to accomplish or had terrible side effects.
How could she tell these things to the man who had saved her twice?
The other party saved her twice at the risk of his own life, but she, the princess of the Prince Wu's Mansion, couldn't even detoxify a Heart-Erosion Pill.
How could she repay what she owed him?
Yan Chengyun couldn't bear to see his daughter suffer so he asked immediately, "It is because the poison of the Heart-Eroding Pill is too strong that there is no cure for it. How long has it been since your friend swallowed the Heart-Eroding Pill?"
"Less than a month and a half." Mo Ruyan thought about it and answered honestly.
"That means there are still nearly 45 days before the poison takes effect. I understand. Mother will help you think of a solution. I will use my connections to get a few antidotes from the Forbidden Martial Guards. During this time, I will have people search for Hua Seto's whereabouts in the martial arts world. Ruyan, don't worry about the safety of your friend. I'll be there for you."
Hearing this, Mo Ruyan was overjoyed and stepped forward to hug Yan Chengyun tightly.
"Thank you, Mom. You are the best."
"If possible, bring your friend to me. I want to know who has seduced my daughter's heart and made you care so much about her."
Mo Ruyan blushed, and immediately revealed the attitude of a little girl, and said shyly:
"I don't."
Yan Chengyun's heart sank and he sighed inwardly.
Wanla, the cabbage in my own garden has really been eaten up.
Who exactly is this Liu Yang?
