"Your Majesty, Your Highness, as I said before, I cannot tell you why I brought Yuan Hong and Da Pu to Xiaoyue. It is for your own good. But I can assure you that I have no ill intentions and will not harm them in the slightest."
Presumably, the two of you came to Xiaoyue concealing your identities to find them. Now that Dapu's life hangs in the balance, I implore Your Highness to save Dapu first. We can discuss the rest later, shall we?
Lu Junyuan looked at Su Ruojin with a sincere expression.
"If the princess is still not satisfied, once Dap is rescued, Lu can be killed or tortured at the princess's disposal."
Su Ruojin knew that Lu Junyuan was right; the most urgent task was to save Dap.
Lu Junyuan's concern for Dapu was genuine; he truly had no intention of harming anyone. As for the reasons behind it, now is not the time to discuss those matters.
"You all get out." Su Ruojin didn't waste any words. Luckily, she had brought Mao Mao out today to find the way, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to save Dapu.
Previously, Lu Junyuan would never have felt comfortable leaving Su Ruojin alone in the room, fearing she might harm Dapu.
Now that he knew Su Ruojin's identity, Lu Junyuan left without saying a word.
An hour and a half later, Su Ruojin came out. Lu Junyuan felt that her waist seemed to be swollen, but he didn't care about that and went to greet her.
"Your Highness, how is Dap?"
"The poison has been neutralized, but he is still weak and will not wake up for another two days. He will need to rest for a while."
Lu Junyuan was very excited. "Great! Great! There's hope! There's hope! Heaven has eyes! Heaven has eyes!"
Seeing Lu Junyuan's unusual excitement, Su Ruojin asked directly, "Young Master Lu, what exactly is your relationship with Dapu?"
“Your Highness, please forgive me for not being able to tell you at the moment, but Dap’s existence cannot be known to anyone, otherwise his life will be in danger. Please allow Dap to recuperate here.” Lu Junyuan’s tone was pleading.
Lu Junyuan knew he couldn't confront the Regent and Queen of Great Chu head-on, nor could he oppose them. At the very least, he had to keep them neutral, or his plans might fall apart.
Putting everything else aside, even if someone were to actually try to take him away now, Lu Junyuan wouldn't be able to guarantee that he could win.
He had heard of the name of Xiao Yanchu, the God of War of Great Chu, and with Princess Chang Le's medical skills, how many people in the entire Xiaoyue could stand up to them alone?
Moreover, Lu Junyuan dared not make a big fuss about this matter. He understood this and had no choice but to lower his stance.
Su Ruojin spoke calmly, "Young Master Lu, Dapu is my man. If there were no unavoidable reason, I would naturally bring him back to Da Chu safely."
“No, Dapu can’t go back to Da Chu!” Lu Junyuan immediately said.
“Young Master Lu, I must take Dap with me; only I can cure his illness.” Su Ruojin’s tone left no room for argument.
The poison that Dapu was afflicted with was similar to Xiao Yanchu's Soul-Devouring Shadow, but in terms of toxicity, Manluo San could not compare with Soul-Devouring Shadow.
However, to find a cure, one must gather some rare medicinal ingredients.
Dap only has five days, which is not enough time to find rare medicinal herbs. Even if the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion has them, it cannot send them over.
If it weren't for Mao Mao, she wouldn't have been able to cure the poison that Dapu was afflicted with.
Although Mao Mao absorbed most of the toxins from Da Pu's body, some toxins remained entangled in his bones and blood, requiring gradual treatment to completely eliminate them.
This won't take just a day or two, but several months. How could Su Ruojin feel at ease leaving Dapu in Xiaoyue?
Seeing that Lu Junyuan still refused to speak, Su Ruojin lost her patience. "Yanchu, let's take the people and leave."
Xiao Yanchu turned around to hug Dapu on the bed when a middle-aged man's voice rang out.
"Yuan'er, tell them."
