Chu Li rushed to West City overnight and found out where he was going in a narrow and chaotic alley.
When I got there, a middle-aged man in a grey gown was holding a wooden board and had half-closed the door.
Chu Li stepped up the stairs.
"Sorry, we are closed today..."
"Open the door."
The middle-aged man frowned. "You don't understand me? I said we're closed. If you still don't understand, I don't mind teaching you a lesson..."
bass!
A cold light flashed, and a soft sword popped out and crossed his neck.
His expression was stern:
"you!"
Came with guys.
Little girl, so arrogant, thinks he is a vegetarian?
“Someone come!”
With a loud shout, four thugs ran out of the store holding wooden sticks with fierce looks, pointing directly at Chu Li: "You ignorant little girl, do you know where this is? How dare you run here and act wild?"
"What place is it?"
The man's voice was slightly lazy. Behind Chu Li, a figure holding a sword and dressed in tight clothes slowly walked towards him from the darkness of the night.
Along came four secret guards with heavy auras and murderous spirits.
The four thugs' hands suddenly went limp.
At first glance, these people are the real guys who drink blood on the edge of a knife. They are far from being their opponents.
Jingying looked at the middle-aged man: "Are you closed?"
“No, no…”
"oh."
Chu Li pushed his shoulder away and walked into the store.
It was a very small and shabby shop that wouldn't attract any attention if it were placed on the street, but the inside was filled with a strong and gloomy smell, and black and brown bottles and jars were placed on the counter, and you could tell at a glance that they were poisonous substances that could harm people.
"There are quite a lot of things."
The middle-aged man was terrified, not knowing why she came, and these men in black who looked like they were not easy to mess with:
"Miss, you are too kind. It's just a small business..."
Some people refine drugs and bring them to him in exchange for silver; he then sells them for profit, using shady methods.
Chu Li walked around the store and sat down:
"Let me ask you."
"About ten days ago, someone bought poison from you. When this chronic poison took effect, his face turned black and blue, his nose bled, and he fell into a coma and lost consciousness. Do you remember anything?"
The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his head:
"I am only responsible for selling, and I don't know the characteristics of each poison... and each poison is paired with an antidote. When someone comes to buy poison, I will sell it together with the antidote."
If the antidote is lost or taken by someone else, the poisoned person will die without a cure.
Chu Li's eyes turned cold, and she raised her hand to grab his collar:
"Is there only one bottle of this poison? And only one antidote?"
The middle-aged man stumbled to the ground, his voice trembling, "Yes, yes..."
“Asshole!”
Chu Yi took the antidote, so Chu Aotian can only wait to die?
She doesn't believe it!
"Jingying, destroy this place and take away all the antidotes!"
"yes."
Jingying drew his sword, and the four secret guards all took action. They picked up a stool and swung it, smashing the counter open and looting the bottles and jars inside.
The middle-aged boss looked at this scene with pain:
"Miss, please spare my life... I am just running a small business to support my family, please show some mercy!"
"A life-threatening business is just a small business in your eyes? In that case, I will give a bottle to each member of your family."
"No, no, no! No, no, no!"
"Burn this place down!"
boom!
A fire leapt into the air, thick smoke billowed, and a raging fire broke out in the store, attracting many people to come and watch and talk.
On the other side, Chu Li had returned to the palace with a large amount of antidotes.
Run into the main hall.
"How is Eighth Brother?"
In front of the couch, Chu Dichi and Xiao Yexing had been guarding it. Several palace servants were kneeling on the ground with their heads down, not daring to breathe.
Chu Aotian did not get better.
The imperial doctors were helpless against this poison.
On that dark face, the corners of his mouth were trembling, and he had already started to talk nonsense:
"Ninth brother, please walk slowly... I'll carry her on my shoulders, don't be afraid... Father... Father, please don't punish her..."
"Ninth brother..."
Chu Li's eyes tightened, but he finally managed to control himself in front of everyone.
However, as soon as Chu Dichi held her in his arms and patted her on the back, she completely lost control like a dam bursting.
how so!
If anything happens to my eighth brother...
"Don't worry, we are still here, there must be a way."
Chu Li wiped away her tears and turned around with sobs, "Take the antidote we found to the Imperial Hospital and have them diagnosed one by one."
Jingying understood.
He walked to the door with a large cloth bag, looked at the six imperial doctors kneeling and waiting, and said:
"There may be an antidote in these bottles and jars. Whoever finds it and cures the poison of Prince Xian will be rewarded handsomely by the Regent."
Bang!
There were at least seventy or eighty bottles and jars thrown on the ground.
The six people did not dare to delay and started looking for it immediately.
Among them, an imperial physician lowered his head, grabbed six or seven small bottles, and while pretending to examine them, he quickly put a small porcelain bottle into his sleeve.
