Upon hearing that there was a prescription for the antidote, Xu Yuehuai breathed a sigh of relief. She hurriedly ordered people to prepare these things.
The atmosphere in the room became tense and anxious.
The young maidservant cried out, "His Majesty is such a good person. After being assassinated, his body has been found to be poisoned. How can we save him?"
Xia Sen patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Xu Yuehuai also encouraged him from the side, saying, "We will definitely be able to save His Majesty."
"Then I'll go and refine the antidote first. Sister, you stay here and watch over His Majesty," Xia Sen said to Xu Yuehuai, his eyes filled with determination.
Xu Yuehua nodded in understanding. She knew that Xia Sen was working hard to save Qi Hanlin, and she couldn't let him be distracted.
Xia Sen left Qi Hanlin's room and went into the pharmacy alone.
His eyes were filled with determination and perseverance as he faced the herbs and spices before him.
Their unique fragrance permeated the air, creating a tranquil and mysterious atmosphere.
He had prepared a variety of medicinal herbs and ingredients; the colorful bottles and rows of herbs were all carefully selected by him. He knew that this was not just a prescription, but also a promise he made to Xu Yuehuai.
After much effort and countless experiments, Xia Sen finally formulated a prescription to detoxify Qi Hanlin. His eyes were filled with exhaustion and satisfaction, but he knew that his efforts had not been in vain.
At this moment, Qi Hanlin was pale, and Xu Yuehuai and the maid were taking care of him while waiting for Xia Sen to bring the antidote.
Xia Sen sat before the medicine furnace, a prescription in his hand, carefully mixing various medicinal herbs. His eyes were filled with focus and seriousness, as if the whole world had disappeared.
His hands moved deftly among the medicinal herbs, each preparation precise and skillful. He knew this wasn't just about saving Qi Hanlin, but also a challenge for himself.
Finally, he carefully placed the herbs one by one into the pot. The flames danced and crackled around the edge, as if cheering him on. He watched the herbs tumbling in the pot, his heart filled with anticipation and nervousness.
The process of simmering the herbs was long and arduous. Xia Sen constantly monitored the heat and time to ensure the quality of the broth. He carefully adjusted the size of the fire, occasionally stirring the herbs in the pot and occasionally observing the color of the broth.
Every subtle movement was filled with his focus and dedication. After a long wait, the herbs in the medicine furnace gradually emitted a rich aroma.
Xia Sen took a deep breath; he knew this was the result he had been waiting for. Looking at the herbs in the medicine furnace, he felt a surge of satisfaction and pride. He knew he had fulfilled his mission, and at that moment, the joy in his heart was indescribable.
He quickly put the medicine into a porcelain bowl and took it to Qi Hanlin's room, where Xu Yuehuai waited. The maid took the medicine and gently fed it to Qi Hanlin.
After drinking the medicinal soup, Qi Hanlin gradually calmed down, and his complexion returned to normal.
Seeing Qi Hanlin's improvement, Xia Sen felt a surge of relief.
Before long, Qi Hanlin gradually recovered. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at his surroundings, and his eyes were filled with gratitude and joy.
The little maid jumped up with joy: "His Majesty is awake! His Majesty is awake!"
Xu Yuehuai also said, "That's great, we've finally rescued His Majesty."
Xia Sen and Xu Yuehuai also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they had finally completed this arduous task.
"Your Majesty, how are you feeling?" Xia Sen asked.
Qi Hanlin smiled slightly, "I feel much better, all thanks to you." He turned to Xu Yuehuai, "Sister-in-law, thank you for saving me once again."
Xu Yuehuai smiled slightly, "This is what I should do, you don't need to be so polite."
However, a sound of clashing swords suddenly came from the courtyard outside.
"Could it be an assassin?" Xia Sen wondered.
Xu Yuehuai said, "I'll go out and check the situation."
Qi Hanlin quickly reminded him, "Be careful."
"OK!"
Xu Yuehuai immediately opened the door and saw the Prince's guards fighting against the black-clad assassins outside. The black-clad assassins were numerous, and the guards were struggling to keep up.
Xu Yuehuai immediately shouted into the room, "Xia Sen, quickly take His Majesty away!"
Xia Sen nodded, immediately slipped out of the house, and quickly left with Qi Hanlin by jumping out of the window.
Xu Yuehuai then closed the door, took out a dagger, and stood guard in front of the door. A black-clad assassin came over and tried to rush into the house to kill Qi Hanlin.
“If you want to harm His Majesty, you’ll have to kill me,” Xu Yuehuai said coldly.
She hadn't expected these people to actually get into the Prince's mansion. It seemed there was someone inside the mansion working with them from the inside; otherwise, they would never have been so willing to come in.
So who exactly betrayed them?
Xu Yuehuai couldn't think of that person for the time being, so she could only face these black-clad assassins first.
Immediately afterward, the assassin in black rushed up, and Xu Yuehuai immediately fought back against him, with the two sides facing off outside the house.
"Who are you? Why did you hurt Qi Hanlin?" Xu Yuehuai asked.
"Hmph, you don't need to know," the assassins in black said coldly.
Xu Yuehuai's eyes narrowed, and she swung her dagger even more fiercely, engaging in a fierce battle with the black-clad assassins.
The two sides exchanged blows, swords flashing and shadows dancing, creating a fierce scene. Xu Yuehuai was agile and nimble, constantly dodging the attacks of the black-clad assassins while also launching her own attacks.
Her dagger moved like a serpent, constantly attacking the vital points of the assassins in black, causing them great distress.
Suddenly, a black-clad assassin rushed out from the shadows, wielding a long sword, and lunged at Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai immediately took a step back, dodging the fatal blow, while simultaneously slashing the dagger in her hand towards the black-clad assassin's neck.
"Ah—!" The assassin in black screamed and collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, the other assassins in black immediately launched an attack on Xu Yuehuai. They knew Xu Yuehuai was extremely skilled, so they joined forces to try and end the battle as quickly as possible.
Xu Yuehuai dodged the attack of the black-clad assassin with a swift movement, and then immediately killed another person.
Upon seeing this, the other assassins in black immediately retreated, no longer daring to attack Xu Yuehuai. They realized that with their strength, they were no match for Xu Yuehuai.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion was unusually tense.
Upon receiving news of the battle, the guards outside the Prince's Mansion emerged from various corners and spread out in the backyard. Their eyes scanned the surroundings warily, ready to deal with any potential dangers at any time.
