Wuhajialou is a man with extremely strong willpower. After he was poisoned, he held on at first. But as the poison spread, his condition became worse and worse. He couldn't hold on any longer and passed out. He has been in a coma for five or six days now.

Now that he has finally woken up, Qinglai and other subordinates are all ecstatic, and the way they look at Chu Qianchen has become kinder and more respectful.

The weather is nice today, with clear and sunny autumn weather.

Rays of bright sunlight shone through the window and softly fell on the thin gauze curtains.

Wuhejialou lay flat on the couch, his face and lips were pale, his expression was weak, and there was a layer of sweat on his forehead and temples. It was obvious that he was trying his best to endure the pain brought by the poison.

"Princess Chen." Wuhejialou smiled at Chu Qianchen.

Even though he was lying on the couch unable to move at this moment, even though he had experienced a life-and-death change, his expression and smile were as gentle as before, his eyes were wise, and his look was holy.

It was as if he had seen through life and death and the ups and downs of this world.

It was as if everything he had experienced was just a destined disaster.

Chiang Rai and others who were surrounding his couch all looked at him with burning gazes, as if they were looking at their own faith.

Wuhejialou had just woken up. As soon as he opened his eyes, there was a commotion all around him. Some people asked him how he felt, some told him that they were now in the suburbs of Beijing, and some immediately ran to find Chu Qianchen.

Everyone was a little confused and didn't have time to tell him what happened.

However, even if they didn't say it, with Uhajaro's extraordinary wisdom, he could deduce the situation in an instant.

"Thank you, Princess." Wuhejialou nodded slightly, unable to hide his sickly look. His eyes were as deep as the abyss in his sunken eye sockets.

"Master, thank you for your courtesy." Chu Qianchen smiled calmly and sat down on a round stool beside the couch. "I will take your pulse."

Chu Qianchen checked Wuhejialou's pulse again.

The pulse under her fingers was much calmer, unlike last night when she first saw Wuhejialou, when the pulse was so weak that it seemed like it would disappear at any time.

Seeing Chu Qianchen's brows relaxed, Qing Lai and others knew that the situation should be good. They looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

"Master, your poison is gone." Chu Qianchen stroked his sleeves and said, "Drink the original prescription for another three days. After three days, we should be able to return to Prince Chen's Mansion. By then, I will prescribe another prescription for you to take a medicinal bath to force out the remaining poison in your body."

"As long as the poison is removed, everything else is a piece of cake."

Chu Qianchen said it easily, as if it was just an ordinary minor illness, but both Wuhejialou and Chiang Rai knew that the poison in Wuhejialou was not simple. The name of the poison was "酹月".

The name looks elegant, but it is a deadly poison with no antidote. It is the secret medicine of the Nanhao Palace.

"酹月" means pouring wine to thank the moon. Once a person is poisoned by this poison, the toxin will quickly spread through the blood to the heart and lungs, and no one will survive until dawn. Another characteristic of this poison is that it will leave the person's face unchanged after death, just like a living person falling asleep.

In Nan Hao's harem, it was mostly used to punish concubines and princes who had committed crimes. There were also high-ranking officials who voluntarily took the poison before their death in order to keep their bodies intact.

Chiang Rai and the others knew that since the people chasing them had used the "酹月" ritual, they must be trying to bring Uhagalou's body back to Jianye City in order to claim credit from the false emperor Uhadulo.

If Wuhejialou had not taken the life-saving pill made by Chu Qianchen after being poisoned, he would have already become a lonely soul.

Now, Chu Qianchen said that she could help Wuhejialou completely cure the strange poison "Xingyue", and the others were naturally convinced.

Chiang Rai bowed solemnly and thanked him again.

Chu Qianchen added: "For the wound on the mage's shoulder, you should apply medicine every day for the time being. After the remaining poison is completely removed, we can see if the wound needs to be sutured."

"The mage has just woken up. I think you all have important matters to discuss with me, so I'll take my leave now."

Chu Qianchen didn't stay long and tactfully said goodbye.

Although Wuhejialou had a calm expression and gentle tone, as if he was calm and composed despite facing a catastrophe, Chu Qianchen knew that he was not as calm as he appeared to be.

His father was murdered, his country was taken away, several of his attendants died while fleeing, and he himself was poisoned, suffering from the poison and the wounds...

After all, people are still people, not Buddhas. As long as they are human, they cannot truly transcend the greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance and doubt of the mundane world.

However, even when he was in a dangerous low point, Uhajaro did not complain about himself, nor was he controlled by sadness and hatred and lost himself.

This man's will was indeed extremely strong. No wonder he was able to turn the tide in his previous life, regain what belonged to him, and secure his throne in Nanhao!

Those chaotic thoughts only flashed through Chu Qianchen's mind.

When she turned around and met Gu Jue's familiar eyes, she had already put all these things behind her and gave him a gentle and sweet smile.

Gu Jue was waiting for her at the door, as if he came here just to accompany her.

The couple left, and the door curtain leading to the outer room was raised and lowered. Chu Qianchen's voice could be heard through the thin curtain: "Prince, would you play chess with me? Is there a chessboard here?"

"good."

Wuhejialou withdrew his gaze from the door curtain and said softly, "I'm sorry to trouble King Chen this time."

His wounds had not yet healed, and he had been in a coma for several days and had not eaten much, so he looked weak and haggard, and his voice was weak and feeble.

But his eyes were unusually bright, like a pool of clear spring water.

Prince Gu Jue is just as the rumors say, a bright and handsome man.

From Qi to Hao and then back to Qi, they experienced several life-threatening situations. Not only did Gu Jue not abandon them, he also did not use them to exchange for benefits. It can be seen that this man has a broad mind and knows what he will do and what he will not do.

Perhaps only a person like this could hold up half the sky for the State of Qi, making the Northern Army and the people of the Northern Lands all admire him.

Qinglai and the others looked at each other, and one of them, a square-faced young man in black, echoed, "The eldest prince has a keen eye."

The young man in black had complicated feelings. In fact, the eldest prince had already reminded Emperor Hao that Uhaduluo was ambitious and asked Emperor Hao to be on guard. He did not expect that things would develop to this point.

Chiang Rai said, "Grand Prince, there is no news from the country yet."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

The capital city is two thousand miles away from Hao State, and there is a big river between the two countries, making it quite inconvenient to transmit information.

Everyone had frowned brows, with anger, irritation, annoyance, unwillingness and other emotions all showing up, as if there was a flame burning in their eyes.

Wuhajialou said again: "No hurry."

His expression and tone were still calm.

Although he was very weak and spoke these two words very softly, when others heard them say it, they felt their hearts calmed down.

It seems that as long as Uhajialou is there, they can overcome any difficulties and be reborn from the ashes.

The bright sun outside the window seemed to be infected by this atmosphere, becoming hotter and brighter.

Chu Qianchen played several games with Gu Jue as he wished, and did not leave the manor until dusk the next day. Jiang Yuan drove the carriage, and the master and servant returned to Beijing before the city gates closed.

Because Gu Jue was back, she was in a very good mood, until she returned to the palace and met Chu Yunyi's extremely resentful eyes.

"Have you... forgotten about me?!"

Chu Yunyi was like an abandoned little animal, almost jumping up and down.

Ever since he was seriously injured in Yuanqing Temple, he has been kept in Prince Chen's Mansion by Chu Qianchen for almost half a month.

At the beginning, he couldn't move on the couch, let alone get off the ground, he couldn't even sit up. Later, Chu Qianchen gave him injections and medicine every day, and gradually, he was able to get off the ground and walk.

Chu Yunyi had been so idle recently that he was almost going moldy, and he finally figured it all out.

These past few days, he was able to get out of bed, walk, and run. He was planning to admit his mistake when Chu Qianchen came back next time, but Chu Qianchen didn't come to see him for three whole days.

Chu Yunyi also wondered if Chu Qianchen was still angry with him, but seeing that his injury had healed, he was too lazy to pay attention to him. He stayed there obediently and did not dare to leave, for fear of making a mistake even worse.

However, three days passed and Chu Qianchen did not send him away. This morning, someone actually sent him a package of fifty taels of silver, more than twice the twenty taels of silver he received in the Marquis' Mansion. It was delivered personally by Nanny Cai from the Prince's Mansion. It seemed that everyone in the Prince's Mansion had forgotten that he was not from the Prince Chen's Mansion.

Chu Yunyi felt deeply that the people in Prince Chen's Mansion were really weird. They all treated him, their uncle, as an outsider.

Although he was muttering, he was still very happy in his heart, so he asked someone to find Amber and planned to take the initiative to admit his mistake to Chu Qianchen.

Who would have thought that Amber would say, "Master, the princess is not here. She left the capital the night before and I don't know when she will be back."

At that moment, Chu Yunyi was completely dumbfounded.

His sister actually abandoned him and ran away alone!

Chu Yunyi felt like he was just a cabbage in the field, no one cared for him, no one loved him.

He felt very aggrieved and planned to go back to the Marquis' Mansion. Anyway, when his sister came back, she might not remember whether he was in the Prince's Mansion.

Who would have thought that before he even left the house, he heard the doorman say that the princess had returned.

Chu Yunyi said sourly: "I thought you didn't want me anymore."

Chu Qianchen: “…”

Yes, she was so happy that the prince came back that she forgot that the boy was still in the palace.
