Chapter 1738 Detoxification
After a moment's silence, he continued, "Don't mention it to anyone!"
"yes."
“…”
At this moment, Nan Yan's breathing also became tense and low.
Before she told Zhu Feng, she still held a little hope, or a little guess, that maybe Zhu Feng had told He Yi about the poison "Wild Goose Passing Without a Trace" a long time ago, or even given him some.
But looking at Zhu Feng's expression now, I'm afraid that's not the case.
In this case——
Why on earth did He Yi concoct the antidote for "No Trace Left by the Passing Wild Goose" and was so foresighted as to give it to me when I was leaving Beijing, but he didn't explain it all clearly.
Zhu Feng's brows were furrowed, still looking at the bottle in his hand, but it seemed that his gaze had passed through the bottle and saw something far away, or in other words, something that happened a long time ago.
Nan Yan looked at him and didn't dare to say a word.
After a long and oppressive silence, Zhu Feng took another deep breath, grabbed the bottle, and put it away, as if to put the matter aside for the time being. Then he looked up at her and asked, "How many pills did he give you?"
"Three, one has already been used."
"What about the other two?"
"I have it with me."
Nan Yan said as she took out the bottle from her sleeve. Zhu Feng only took a glance at it and then stood up: "Let's go."
Nan Yan also stood up hurriedly: "Where are you going?"
"Go and detoxify Ye Zheng."
"yes."
Once he knew that he could detoxify Ye Zheng, Zhu Feng lost his composure and immediately walked out, and Nan Yan followed him.
However, she remained calm and followed Zhu Feng, saying softly, "But Your Majesty, Xiaoyu is still there."
“…”
"Should we move her away first?"
Zhu Feng continued walking and said, "No need."
"That--"
"It's time to tell her about this now."
“…”
"If I keep hiding it from her, I'm afraid she'll be sad in the future."
"I understand, but I'm worried that her temper will be too impatient and reveal her true intentions."
“…”
Hearing this, Zhu Feng stopped.
Nan Yan took a step forward and saw that his brows were slightly furrowed and his eyes were flickering. He seemed to be thinking about something. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhu Feng say, "Probably not."
“…”
"This girl, at least I think she has made a lot of progress recently."
"Yes. I'm just worried that she's not mature enough."
"She should also be given some experience. Otherwise—there are still so many years ahead, and there are no telling how many storms we'll face. If she doesn't experience some, how can she accompany you?"
Hearing him say this, Nan Yan felt a sense of sympathy.
Nodding, "That's right."
"Besides, you should trust her."
“…”
"Apart from anything else, for Ye Zheng's sake, she has to suppress her temper, otherwise—"
At this point, Zhu Feng's eyes flashed with a cold light: "She has failed me in my arrangements these days."
Nan Yan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty has good intentions. I would like to thank you on her behalf."
Zhu Feng just waved his hand and continued walking forward.
But after walking a few steps, Nan Yan said, "There is one more thing."
"What?"
"This pill is the antidote to the toxicity of 'Wild Goose Passes Without a Trace'. Once the toxicity is resolved, the true poison that Ye Zheng was poisoned with will become apparent."
“…”
"By then, Wang Baizhi will need to work quickly to detoxify Ye Zheng."
Having said that, Zhu Feng paused.
Looking back at Nan Yan, both of their eyes were flickering.
There seemed to be a secret and oppressive atmosphere flowing in the cold air. Even though this was in an unobstructed corridor, there was a feeling that it belonged only to the two of them and no one else could set foot in it.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Feng said in a deep voice, "I know."
Nan Yan also nodded: "Yeah."
The two men said nothing more and walked forward at the same time.
After a while, they arrived at Ye Zheng's room.
Ran Xiaoyu and Wang Baizhi were both here. After the emperor and the imperial concubine arrived, they only left Xiao Shunzi to guard outside, and the door was closed. Four people, including the unconscious Ye Zheng, were in the room.
After a long while, everything was quiet.
Only the faint sound of a person's breathing could be heard, which suddenly became rapid, as if it suddenly rose to the sky and almost pierced through the ceiling.
After holding it for a while, it slowly fell down.
Xiao Shunzi stood outside, calm and collected, watching carefully to see if anyone else was walking by.
Ran Xiaoyu in the room's face turned red and white, and her chest heaved violently.
It felt like he couldn't hold his breath and his body was about to burst apart.
Nan Yan, on the other hand, reached out and rubbed her back a few times.
She took several deep breaths before she calmed down. She nodded gently at Nan Yan, looked at Nan Yan's expression, then looked up at Zhu Feng and Wang Baizhi who was standing beside her with her head lowered.
She whispered, "You—the Emperor, the Empress, and Doctor Wang, have you known about this for a long time?"
Nan Yan said, "Yes."
"That--"
"I kept it from you because I was worried you would reveal your true identity."
“…”
"You know there are eyes in this palace. Right now, neither I nor the Emperor agree to dig this person out immediately, as he might be useful in the future. So, for now, we need to keep quiet."
Ran Xiaoyu looked at them, then looked behind her and saw Ye Zheng lying motionless on the bed.
After a while, she whispered, "Your Majesty and Your Majesty are worried that I might lose my patience..."
“…”
"It's my fault. I've always acted rashly and made people worry."
Nan Yan said softly: "No, for example, today, you are very good."
As soon as I told her about the poisoning, Ran Xiaoyu's eyes turned red in an instant, and she almost couldn't hold back her anger and wanted to stand up, but in the end, she just gritted her teeth, clenched her hands into fists, and her knuckles crackled, but she never really let out the anger in her heart.
If she had gone there, she would have been furious.
Moreover, the person who poisoned the person must be found out. In the past, only by cutting the person into pieces could the hatred in my heart be relieved.
And the woman in front of him even calmed down.
But his hands were still tightly clenched and he didn't let go.
It's much better now.
Zhu Feng just looked at them and said at this time: "Okay, enough of the small talk, Wang Baizhi."
"I am here."
"Detoxify Ye Zheng."
"yes."
Wang Baizhi took a pill from Nan Yan's hand, walked over and helped Ye Zheng up. Ran Xiaoyu hurried to help, supporting his head and stuffing a pill into his mouth, just pressing it to the throat.
Then I heard a "gurgle" sound.
He swallowed it.
Everyone held their breath.
There was silence for a long while. Ran Xiaoyu was standing aside, her clothes soaked with cold sweat. Seeing that Ye Zheng had no reaction, she became a little anxious.
"how--"
But before she could finish her words, Ye Zheng's expression on the bed suddenly changed.
