Helian Si clapped her hands, stood up from the wooden chair, and walked towards the edge of the crowd. She needed to check on the teacher's injuries.
Everyone stepped back, making way for Helian Si. The man in black's miserable state was still there, and no one dared to underestimate this quiet princess anymore.
Di Ying lifted his foot to follow, but suddenly remembered that there was a half-dead person lying on the ground. He kicked the man in black, sending him flying in front of the old doctor.
"It's up to you. The princess instructed me to spare his life."
"Yes, yes." The old doctor dared not say anything more, repeatedly agreeing, but looking at the half-dead man in black sprawled on the ground, he inwardly groaned.
Oh dear, you're just saying this, why did you kick him again? What if he killed him? How can he save his life then?
Helian Si left, his imperial figure radiating a chilling aura, and only then did the students dare to glance at the man in black again.
This sight brought another wave of sighs. Nan Rongqing's expression was quite unpleasant; he had never been very willing to agree to Jinghua's marriage to the princess.
If it weren't for the Emperor's decree, which he dared not disobey, he would have definitely called off the marriage. And now, witnessing the princess's ruthless side...
This further intensified his prejudice against Helian Si. Although she was a princess, she was still a young lady, yet her behavior was so cruel, just like the Emperor's cruel actions!
How could such a woman be allowed into the Nanrong family!
Nan Rong Jinghua rested in a room not far from the lecture hall. When Helian Si led Di Ying into the room, the imperial physician was administering acupuncture to Nan Rong Jinghua.
Nan Rong Jinghua lay on the soft couch, a hidden weapon wound on her arm. Her face was pale, and her thin lips were bloodless.
His long, silver-white robe hung down beside the soft couch, and his silver-white undergarment on his arm was stained with blood. Gleaming silver needles were stuck in his wounds, a horrifying sight.
Helian Si walked in and waited quietly to the side. When his beautiful peach blossom eyes fell on Nan Rong Jinghua's wound, the student's fingers trembled slightly.
Her heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by two hands, so heavy that she could hardly breathe. Deep within her, a voice seemed to be filled with fear, fearing that her master might really fall into such a long sleep.
"Princess."
After removing the last silver needle from the wound, the imperial physician stood up and bowed to Helian Si.
Helian Si waved his hand, signaling the imperial physician to rise. He looked at Nanrong Jinghua, who was lying unconscious on the soft couch, and spoke.
"How is the poison in your body, Master?"
"Your Highness, this poison is called Nightmare. Those who are poisoned by this poison will first fall into a deep sleep and suffer the torment of nightmares. If they do not take the antidote within three days, they will die as their tendons and veins rupture."
"Is the antidote the snow lotus from the snow-capped mountains?"
A fleeting chill crossed Helian Si's face. If it weren't for the Master protecting him today, he would be the one lying unconscious on the soft couch right now.
The imperial physician nodded and explained, "Yes, I just used silver needles to expel some of the poison from Young Master Jinghua's body."
This is only a temporary solution; the only antidote is to consume snow lotus from the snow-capped mountains, but…
At this point, the imperial physician paused, a hint of unease on his face, and hesitated to speak.
Helian Si frowned, displeased, and continued the imperial physician's words, "But what?"
The imperial physician, sweat beading on his forehead, bent over. "Your Highness," he said, "the Nightmare Poison is extremely yin in nature. While the snow lotus from the snow-capped mountains can cure the Nightmare Poison..."
However, snow lotus is an extremely cold medicinal substance. This method of detoxification is tantamount to using yin to counteract yin, and I'm afraid it will leave Young Master Jinghua with a hidden ailment.
