Yan Shaoheng frowned deeply, his hands clenching so tightly they cracked.
"Yunxi, is it possible to confirm?"
"That's right, the young prince has been poisoned, and even I don't know what kind of poison it is."
Yan Shaoheng's face grew increasingly pale, his eyebrows furrowed, and intense anger surged within his chest.
They had only been together for a few days, how could they have been poisoned?
That's impossible!
"Yunxi, take his pulse again, take another look, just in case you've misdiagnosed him."
“Prince Heng, you know I can’t be wrong. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, let the young prince think carefully about why the poison was supposed to take effect in seven days, but he is fine after seven days.”
Reminded by Yun Xi, Yan Shaoheng gradually calmed down.
"Yes, yes, Yunxi is right. Xiao'er, think carefully, what have you eaten recently? Or what did you eat before the rebellion?"
At this moment, Yue Zhixiao was already so frightened that his face turned pale, and he sat on the stool, unable to move.
"What did you eat... what did you eat..."
Yue Zhixiao muttered to himself, repeating these words over and over.
“I remember now. I took the antidote pill from Linglong Pavilion. Before I did this, my mother bought two antidote pills from Linglong Pavilion. They can cure all poisons. My mother and I each took one.”
"have eaten?"
"Yes, I ate it. I don't know about Mother's."
Yue Zhixiao was extremely anxious and panicked.
He had planned everything from the moment he left the Moon Kingdom, intending to become the crown prince once his father ascended the throne.
A few years later, he forced him to step down, making him the retired emperor, so he could enjoy his old age, and then he himself would be the emperor.
At that time, the entire Yan Kingdom will belong to him, and even the living dead under Yun Xi's command will be his.
He could use the living dead to attack the other three kingdoms, unify the four kingdoms, and become the king of the Tiancang Continent!
But now he has been poisoned, and it's the kind of poison that will kill him within a few days.
Yue Zhixiao could not accept it.
"Mr. Yunxi, since I have already taken the antidote, why hasn't the poison been neutralized?"
"This antidote pill is probably only effective against common poisons; it can only temporarily suppress the poison in your body."
"How much more time do I need? Can you develop an antidote?"
Yue Zhixiao panicked. He didn't want to die, and he couldn't die. He hadn't started over yet.
In his panic, Yue Zhixiao instinctively regarded Yun Xi as his savior and clung to him for a long time.
"Judging from the pulse, it's only three or four days before the poison takes effect. I will do my best to develop an antidote in these few days, or at the very least, a pill that can delay the onset of the poison."
Despite Yun Xi's words, it did not alleviate the unease of Yan Shaoheng and his son.
"Yun Xi, as long as you develop the antidote, you will be second only to the emperor in the entire Tiancang Continent."
“Your Highness is joking. I am merely a doctor who studies medicine and makes poisons. As Your Highness knows, fame and fortune are of no use to me.”
When Yan Shaoheng had previously asked Yun Xi to save him, he had offered a million taels of gold and an official position in the imperial court, but Yun Xi had not been tempted.
That's why Yan Shaoheng later provided him with able-bodied men.
"As long as you can save Xiao'er, I will have Yingcheng search the entire Tiancang Continent for the most Yin body for you."
A light instantly lit up in Yun Xi's eyes, and his expression was filled with excitement and exhilaration.
The Yin body is the best vessel for Gu worms, just like Yun Yao.
Ordinary people who use their bodies to raise Gu worms, like Yan Shaoheng, will often be devoured by the Gu worms once they are stimulated, even if they are not stimulated.
However, those with a Yin constitution will not experience this; unless the Gu worms malfunction, they will not easily suffer a backlash.
Moreover, for Gu worms, the Yin constitution is particularly helpful for their reproduction and growth.
"really?"
"Of course, as long as you can save Xiao'er."
"I will definitely develop an antidote within three days."
Hearing Yunxi's affirmative answer, the father and son finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Young Prince, I need to take some of your blood. Please bring me a jar. Also, please give me ten men of similar build to you."
"Cheng Ying, go find a jar."
"Yes, Master."
A moment later, Cheng Ying brought over a jar.
"Young Prince, please put some blood on the ground so I can take it back for testing."
Yue Zhixiao glanced at the dagger tucked into Cheng Ying's leg and said, "May I borrow it?"
Yue Zhixiao closed her eyes tightly and slashed her hand.
Some dark, unusual blood dripped into the jar.
Yue Zhixiao looked at the blood in the jar; there was probably more than two bowls of it.
"Mr. Yunxi, is this enough?"
"I don't know what this poison is. I need more of your blood, young prince, so I can work day and night to develop an antidote."
Yue Zhixiao stared at his palm, which was almost no longer bleeding, and made another cut.
Making another cut on the original incision was much more painful than the first one. Yue Zhixiao, who had already lost too much blood, turned even paler.
Even her lips had lost their color.
"That's enough, Your Highness."
Yun Xi took out a small porcelain bottle from his waist and poured it onto Yue Zhixiao's wound. The intense pain made him gasp.
If it were just for making an antidote, it probably wouldn't be necessary to use this much.
He asked Yue Zhixiao for so much blood out of selfish motives.
He wanted to know what this poison, which even he didn't know about, was like.
If possible, he would like to refine it and find someone to try it out.
"Then I'll head back now. I'll return within three days to deliver the antidote."
After Yun Xi left, Yan Shaoheng spoke.
"Xiao'er, don't worry. Yunxi will definitely be able to develop an antidote. Don't mention it to your mother these next few days, so as not to worry her."
"I see."
Because of Yue Zhixiao's matter, Yun Xi didn't have time to take Liu Xuening's pulse.
Yan An had already read several novels while lying in bed, so getting up was just in time to have something to eat.
"Miss, is something making you happy?"
Bai Tao watched her young mistress eat and laugh, and asked curiously.
"Of course I do, but I'm not telling you!"
"Let me guess, you must be happy because you are about to marry the Regent."
"Well done, you little rascal, you've learned to tease your young lady now."
"How could I say that? Not only is Miss happy, but the entire city is happy for Miss and the Regent."
Yan An was indeed happy about the wedding, but now there was something else on his mind.
Has Yan Shaoheng arrived in the State of Yan?
"Miss, that's what An Si said."
"They should have been discovered by now. I wonder if they'll survive the next few days."
"Huh? What did you say, Miss?"
"nothing."
Yan An was about to continue reading the novel.
"Miss, no matter how beautiful the picture book is, you can't look at it every night. Staring at a bride with dark circles under her eyes isn't pretty."
Yan An glanced at herself in the mirror, "Waaaaaaah, I'm doomed, these dark circles..."
