Chapter 1823 This matter must be kept secret
A cunning light flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "They went to Bailong City. What unknown secrets do they have?"
"this……"
Seeing Chu Xin's hesitation, Li Lai immediately said, "Of course, this is my business."
“…”
"Don't worry, I will definitely find out. Although it is a little dangerous."
When Chu Xin heard that there was danger, he became anxious.
"You are already isolated and helpless in this Duwei Mansion. Everyone is watching you. If anything goes wrong, wouldn't it be—"
Li Lai smiled calmly and said, "It's okay."
After saying that, he reached out and held Chu Xin's hand again.
Chu Xin had just walked in from outside, and her hands were still cold. She held Li Lai's warm big hands, and the temperature stimulated her so much that she shivered.
"you--"
She has always been cold towards Li Lai, let alone letting him touch her like this.
Under normal circumstances, she would have pulled her hand back and asked him to stay away from her, but at this moment, she didn't. The warmth of this man's palm made her linger.
Just when she was conflicted and intoxicated, Li Lai said gently: "In short, let me do this dangerous thing alone. I just want you to be well."
“…”
After hearing these words, Chu Xin felt an indescribable warmth in his heart.
She didn't say anything, but just pulled her hands back, turned around and left, leaning on the bamboo stick.
Li Lai stood at the door, neither stopping her nor chasing after her.
I could only look at her back coldly.
There was a triumphant smile on the corner of his mouth, cold and ferocious.

Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, Nan Yan returned to her room in the Duwei Mansion.
After changing out of her heavy clothes, she sighed comfortably.
"It's still comfortable at home."
Ran Xiaoyu was hanging his clothes nearby. When she heard this, she suppressed her laughter and turned around to say, "My Lady, this is not our home."
"Know."
Nan Yan stretched again and said, "It's better than staying in that inn."
"That's true."
After hanging up the clothes, Ran Xiaoyu came back and brewed a cup of hot tea and put it in her hand: "Your Majesty must be tired on the way here, do you want to lie down and rest for a while?"
Nan Yan took a sip of tea and shook her head, saying, "I've been sitting in the carriage all day and I'm already stiff. I even slept for a while in the carriage."
"That--"
Nan Yan looked up at her, and seeing her hesitation, she smiled and said, "You want to go see Ye Zheng, right?"
“…”
Ran Xiaoyu blushed.
In the past, she would have said stubbornly, "Who wants to see him?" But this time, after a moment of silence, she said honestly, "Didn't we get the medicine back?"
“Tsk tsk.”
Nan Yan really likes her frank and somewhat shy appearance more and more.
But he didn't tease her anymore, instead he said honestly: "I got the antidote back, but it can't be used now."
"Why?"
Nan Yan pursed her lips and smiled as she looked at her, and after Ran Xiaoyu asked that question, she immediately reacted.
Of course not now.
The reason they went to Bailong City was to "nurture the fetus", not to look for an antidote.
If they took out the marrow cleansing flower at this moment, it would announce to the world their real purpose of going to Bailong City.
But she was a little worried: "Then he——"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Marrow Cleansing Flower has been found, so he will be fine."
“…”
"Besides, even if we find the thing, we have to give it to Wang Baizhi first so that he can prepare the antidote."
"Um."
Nan Yan smiled and took two more sips of tea, then stood up and said, "Let's go and see him first."
"Why."
Ran Xiaoyu followed her and the two of them went to Ye Zheng's room.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Wang Baizhi standing by the bed.
He heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and when he turned around and saw the two of them, a hint of joy flashed across his face. He hurried forward and knelt before Nan Yan, saying, "Your humble servant greets the Imperial Concubine."
"Doctor Wang, please stand up."
Nan Yan raised her hand.
Looking behind him, Chuang Ye Zheng was still lying peacefully on the bed, his expression as calm as usual, without any of the haggard look that came from poisoning.
Nan Yan could feel that Ran Xiaoyu beside her was breathing faster.
She asked softly, "How is Ye Zheng?"
Wang Baizhi said, "Master Ye is fine."
"The poison in his body."
"I can still control it."
"Um."
Nan Yan walked over and took a look. After all, Ye Zheng had only been away for two days, so there would not be any changes in him. Moreover, Wang Baizhi knew very well his position in Zhu Feng's heart, and she would protect him at the cost of her life.
Nan Yan nodded with relief.
Seeing that Ye Zheng's lips were a little dry, he said to Ran Xiaoyu, "Pour him some water."
"Why."
Ran Xiaoyu obediently went to pour a glass of water. Not only did she bring it over, she also went over and helped Ye Zheng up and let him sit against the head of the bed, while she fed him little by little with a small spoon.
Nan Yan watched with a smile.
Then he cleaned up Wang Baizhi and the two of them walked to the other side of the room.
Wang Baizhi said, "I heard that the Emperor and the Empress should have returned last night. Why did they only return this morning?"
Nan Yan said, "I was delayed on the way."
"oh……?"
Nan Yan didn't explain much. She glanced at Ye Zheng on the bed and said, "The Emperor came here just now."
"Yes, the emperor came to see Lord Ye first when he returned to the Duwei Mansion."
"Did he tell you everything?"
"I've already said that the Marrow Cleansing Flower has been given to this humble servant."
Nan Yan turned to look at him and said sternly, "Lord Wang should be well aware that medicine is three-quarters toxic. Moreover, the toxicity of the Marrow Cleansing Flower is greater than its medicinal properties. You should consider how to use it."
"I understand."
Wang Baizhi said solemnly: "The emperor has also made it very clear to me that I dare not risk Lord Ye's life."
"That's good."
Nan Yan nodded.
She looked at Wang Baizhi and said, "That marrow-cleansing flower—"
Wang Baizhi looked at her: "My Lady, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
“…”
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment and looked at him again.
Now, the most important thing is to detoxify Ye Zheng.
As for the toxicity of the marrow-cleansing flower and the residual medicinal properties in Zhu Feng's body... let's talk about it after we solve the big problem here.
So he said, "Forget it, it's nothing."
“…”
"You should take good care of Lord Ye's health. Also, this matter must be kept secret."
"Please rest assured, Madam."
"Well, then I'll be leaving first."
Hearing that she was leaving, Ran Xiaoyu, who had been sitting by the bed and wiping the corner of Ye Zheng's mouth with a handkerchief, raised her head and said hesitantly, "Madam, are you leaving now?"
Nan Yan looked at her with a smile.
"It's alright, I'll go my own way, you stay here."
"Where are you going, my lady?"
"I'll walk around, you don't have to move."
After saying that, she waved her hand and turned to walk out. However, she did not "walk around" as she said, but went straight to the west wing.
