Xu Lingyi asked directly, and there was no need for ambiguity between the master and the disciple.
The Valley Master paced back and forth, stroking his beard, thinking carefully.
"It must have leaked out from the palace. When Master was out practicing medicine, his identity was accidentally exposed, and he was taken to the palace to treat the emperor. It was in the palace that many of the poisons on me were stolen."
At that time, he found that his poison was less, so he suspected that the young eunuch who followed him had stolen it because of his sneaky appearance.
But in the end he still did not say anything, after all, this person was sent to him by the emperor.
At that time, people had to bow their heads under the eaves.
Even though the emperor treated him very well at the time, he also knew the current emperor's reputation for tyranny.
From then on, he would disguise himself every time he went out to practice medicine.
Since the emperor couldn't find him, he didn't have to face the imperial power directly.
"I see."
Xu Heshi sighed, "Valley Master, you don't know that my poison is from the Holy Saint. Do you have a solution?"
A hope of survival emerged in Xu Heshi's heart.
"This poison, I am currently powerless to treat. I can only rely on whether Yi'er can prepare an antidote."
If she had known that this would happen today, she would never have mixed the poison so blindly.
"I made this poison back then."
Xu Lingyi lowered her head, not daring to look at him, feeling inexplicably bitter in her heart.
In fact, she also longed for relatives when she was a child and always pestered her master to ask.
Now she really has relatives, but because of her... she will not live long.
If it is any other poison in the Medicine King Valley, there are actually medicines that can cure it.
Just like the poison in Zhao Yun's body.
Although Xu Heshi was a little surprised to hear the news, he didn't think it was related to Xu Lingyi.
"If anyone is to blame, it's only the Emperor. It has nothing to do with my sister. Besides, I've already made preparations in my heart. I want to live one more day."
It seemed that ever since Xu Lingyi met Xu He, he always had a smile on his face.
He didn't look lifeless like a dying person, but instead had the youthful vigor that only a young person could have.
This was also the reason why Xu Lingyi didn't realize that he was poisoned at first.
Xu Heshi continued speaking. He hesitated for a moment, then finally reached out and touched Xu Lingyi's head, speaking in comfort:
"I am already very satisfied to have found you in the last two years."
He was not afraid of death, but Xu Lingyi did not want him to die. After all, they were blood brothers and sisters from the same mother.
"You should stay in Yaowang Valley from now on. Don't return to the capital yet. Here, we can help you stabilize the toxins in your body. I will also do my best to develop an antidote."
This is the best solution Xu Lingyi can think of at the moment.
More than a month later, Xu Lingyi discovered that she was indeed pregnant.
Although she was mentally prepared, after all, this was the task she promised to the ghost.
But when this day really came, Xu Lingyi still felt a little complicated.
There are surprises and expectations, but also some nervousness.
In fact, she was not yet ready to raise a child, and it would be impossible for her to raise the child with Zhao Yun in the future.
As a mother, she can only owe it.
"Are you pregnant?"
"Master, I have already planned to give birth to this child."
Although they were surprised and angry, after accepting it, they were more expectant.
"Okay, since you've made up your mind, then stay."
————
For the next year, Xu Lingyi was busy preparing the antidote and taking care of her pregnancy and childbirth.
Zhao Yun in the capital was also busy.
His life was far more thrilling than Xu Lingyi's.
Now Zhao Yun's eyesight has recovered and he no longer has any health problems.
At the same time, the revenge for the throne is about to succeed.
But there were the eunuchs who had been with him for decades since he was a child and his study companion Xu He.
They all died one after another within this year.
He had long known that this road would be difficult and that bloodshed and casualties were inevitable.
Even he himself was prepared to be murdered.
But one day, when all the people you trust and value die one by one.
He felt an inevitable sadness in his heart.
He once again unconsciously thought of Xu Lingyi.
Now, she is the only one left in this world who truly treats him well.
Wait a little longer, as long as he successfully takes that position, he will bring her to the capital.
"Your Highness, is it time for you to go to court?"
The young eunuch spoke cautiously, saying that whenever His Highness was alone, he would hold his clothes in his arms like a treasure.
The eunuch could guess in his heart that the prince must have a woman he liked.
But it is not in this backyard. After all, His Highness has never been to the backyard since these women entered the palace.
————
Another half a year passed, and one day Xu Lingyi finally prepared the antidote.
"Will you try again this time?"
After more than a year of getting along, Xu Lingyi has already regarded Xu Heshi as her own brother.
If at first she just felt a little guilty.
But as time went on, she could no longer care less, and the pressure became greater and greater.
She values family ties, and she doesn't want anything to happen to her master, senior brothers and sisters, or Xu Heshi.
Xu Heshi held the child in his arms and drank Xu Lingyi's antidote in one gulp with ease.
After he drank it, Xu Lingyi waited anxiously for a long time, and then took his pulse again.
"how?"
Master and senior brothers were also very concerned about the poison in Xu Heshi's body.
Xu Lingyi's face relaxed, and this time the corners of her mouth finally turned up:
"This time it's finally right. He's been poisoned for years, so he needs to take medicine for the next six months to completely detoxify. After that, he needs to use another health-preserving prescription for a year. He should be able to recover and become a normal person after that."
