Chapter 29: Gu Quan is poisoned. If I really can’t cure him, he will die.
Gu Huai asked Pei Ji to check on Gu Jing, and he went to Xianpinju alone.
Xianpinju was still as lively as before, with young men in gorgeous clothes sitting all over the room, and male prostitutes surrounding them, singing and playing the zither, or drinking and playing. It was such a carefree and happy place.
Gu Huai glanced around coldly, but didn't see the person he was looking for, so he turned around and walked to the second floor.
As soon as I stepped onto the last step, I saw Yun Jin walking out of the Ya Pavilion.
He seemed to have drunk some wine, his face was a little red. When he saw Gu Huai, he was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "I meet the Fourth Prince." After saying that, he looked downstairs and saw that only Gu Huai was there. A hint of disappointment flashed across his face, and then he returned to normal, "Why is only the Fourth Prince here today?"
Gu Huai narrowed his eyes and looked at Yun Jin, but didn't speak for a long time. Yun Jin felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Usually, Gu Huai comes with Gu Quan. He has never been to Xianpinju alone. Why did he come alone today?
Gu Huai suddenly sneered: "Mr. Yun, are you very concerned about the third brother?" After he said that, he looked at Yun Jin with a gloomy look.
Yun Jin was stunned. He really did? He cared a lot about Gu Quan. As long as he could see him every day, even if he ignored him, as long as he could hear his voice, even if he could just glance at him from a distance, he could sleep well that night.
He frowned and lowered his head. "It's just that the Fourth Prince and the Third Prince usually come together, so I'm a little surprised to see only the Third Prince come today."
Gu Huai stared at him closely, his eyes as cold as ice. How dare she come up with such a poor excuse to deceive him? If he believed it, wouldn't he be a fool? !
Yun Jin felt that Gu Huai's anger was growing stronger and stronger, but he didn't understand what he had done wrong to cause him to suddenly become furious.
He stood with his head bowed, allowing Gu Huai to stare at him fiercely with that scrutinizing, probing gaze.
After a long while, Gu Huai withdrew his gaze, "Oh?" He stretched out the last syllable, and there was a sense of danger in his tone: "I didn't see Third Brother coming today. Are you satisfied with the achievement of Master Yun's plan?"
Yun Jin raised his head and looked at him blankly, obviously not understanding what Gu Huai said.
Gu Huai's face was cold, and his eyes were staring at Yun Jin sharply, as if he wanted to find a flaw in his face. Yun Jin still? He looked confused, with a pair of clear black and white pupils. Gu Huai just felt that he was pretending, pretending to be another face, which made people disgusted.
Thinking that he was a spectator, looking at this innocent face, he wanted to kill him immediately.
But the third brother's poison has not been cured yet, so it is not appropriate to have the thought of killing. Gu Hui tried hard to suppress his anger.
Yun Jin didn't understand what Gu Huai meant by that. Seeing his expression changing unpredictably, he became even more confused. "I don't know what the prince meant by that."
Gu Huai's gaze was cold and sharp, piercing Yun Jin's eyes, as if he wanted to tear his entire soul apart and devour it: "Mr. Yun? What is it? You really don't know, or? Are you pretending not to know?" His voice was cold and oppressive.
Yun Jin still had a puzzled expression: "Please tell me the truth, Your Majesty. What did I do wrong to make Your Majesty so angry?"
Gu Huai's chest was heaving violently, and he wanted to kill him right now. But his third brother's poisoning urgently needed an antidote, so he could only endure it for the time being: "This king is not interested in talking nonsense with you anymore, hand over the antidote! This king may be able to spare your life!"
His voice was cold and eerie, with a strong sense of evil.
Yun Jin was slightly stunned. What antidote?
He looked at Gu Huai in confusion, "I don't understand what you mean."
Care about patience? Exhaust it? Too lazy to fight? Yun Jin wasted no time talking. He raised his hand and grabbed his neck fiercely, using extreme force to almost break it.
He said coldly, "Master Yun, do you have to pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth? Last night, my third brother came here alone, and was assassinated on his way back. The arrow was poisoned, but the poison came from your Yuncheng. This king's words are so clear, Master Yun, are you still going to pretend?"
Yun Jin's face flushed red, and he was breathing with difficulty, with a pain and suffocation in his throat. He was originally slapping Gu Huai's arm around his neck in fear and panic, but after hearing that Gu Quan was poisoned, his movements suddenly stopped, and a trace of panic flashed through his eyes.
Was he injured? Poisoned?
Yun Jin's mind went blank for a moment, his heartbeat quickened, and his breathing became rapid. It was not because of the pain in his neck, but because of the worry and fear that surged in his heart after hearing that Gu Quan was injured and poisoned.
He felt his heart stop beating for a moment, as if he was short of oxygen, and then it started pounding again. His palms were already covered with sweat without him noticing.
His reaction in Gu Huai's eyes was fear and panic after his conspiracy was exposed.
He suddenly let go of his hand. Yun Jin fell to the ground, with deep finger marks and purple bruises on his fair neck. He seemed to feel no pain, and stood up staggeringly, grabbing Gu Huai's arm, his face full of tension and worry, "How is he? Is the injury serious?" His voice was trembling, and his hands holding Gu Huai were also shaking. His eyes were wide open, staring at Gu Huai, afraid to miss every word he said next.
"By you? Because my third brother is still in a coma." Gu Huai shook off Yun Jin's hand and glared at him coldly, "I don't want to waste my words with you. Hand over the antidote!"
Yun Jin's face turned pale, and he took two shaky steps. He managed to steady himself, and said in a hoarse voice, "What kind of poison has he been poisoned with? Can it be cured?"
He urgently needed a definite answer that Gu Quan was safe and sound.
He will be fine, he is the prince, even if he is injured or poisoned, there is the imperial physician to treat him, his life will not be in danger, he will be fine... Yun Jin kept reminding himself, but his voice still trembled, "The imperial physician is here, he is fine, right? Tell me?"
He asked anxiously, and Gu Huai saw it, which made him more certain that Yun Jin had other intentions.
He approached Yun Jin with a fierce gaze, and his voice was as cold as ice: "Stop pretending! This king has no time to play along with you. Teach me the antidote for the strange bone powder!"
His voice suddenly rose, mixed with anger. He didn't want to talk to Yun Jin anymore, he had to get the antidote immediately and rush to his third brother.
Gu Huai didn't want to give Yun Jin any more chance to refute his argument, so he raised his leg and kicked Yun Jin in the knee.
Yun Jin was caught off guard and fell to his knees in front of Gu Huai. His knees hit the ground with a loud bang. The piercing pain went into his body, but he did not scream. Instead, he looked up at Gu Huai and said, "I don't have the antidote..."
Before he could finish his words, Gu Huai kicked him in the chest. Yun Jin was kicked backwards and hit the wall hard. He groaned and fell to the ground, spitting out blood. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't groan because of the severe pain.
Gu Huai stepped in front of him and kicked him mercilessly again: "No antidote, Yun Jin, do you think I am a fool?! If you know what's good for you, hand over the antidote. If anything happens to Third Brother, I will bury you with him!"
"I'll count to three. If you can't hand over the antidote, don't blame me for being rude?" Gu Huai looked down at Yunjin from a high place, his eyes gleaming with bloodthirsty ferocity.
Yun Jin covered his chest, gritted his teeth and held up his upper body, looking at Gu Huai and said slowly: "I can cure the poison, don't worry, Prince? I will definitely save the Third Prince..."
His expression was calm and firm, and his bright black eyes were filled with hope and pleading.
He seemed to have forgotten what Gu Huai had done to him, and seemed to be happy that he could cure the poison. He felt that his body was no longer in pain, and even the pain in his chest was relieved. There was only one voice in his heart, that is, he could save his young man, and nothing would happen to him, no!
Gu Huai grabbed Yun Jin's collar and asked, "Where is the antidote?!" He knew that he must have it? The antidote, as expected!
"I……"
Dislike his answer? Too slow to answer, Gu Huai? With one punch, he fell to the ground, grabbed his collar, and asked, "Where is the antidote?"
Yun Jin's facial features were wrinkled with pain and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. "I, don't have? The antidote, but I, can cure the poison of Mo Gu San..." His voice was weak and soft, and was soon interrupted by Gu Huai rudely.
Gu Huai growled, "What do you mean you don't have the antidote? You sent Gu Jing away that day, and within a few days, Third Brother was assassinated. You still dare to say you don't have the antidote?" He grabbed Yun Jin again and brought him in front of him, his eyes red, "Tell me, where is the antidote!" He had lost his patience! He felt that Yun Jin was just wasting time with him.
"My Lord, please believe me! Take me to see the Third Lord. If I can't solve it, I am willing to die!"
Yun Jin said urgently. Although his voice was low, his tone was calm.
He understood Gu Huai's worries, and like Gu Huai, he was also eager to save Gu Quan.
Gu Huai looked at the determination and perseverance in his eyes, hesitated, and there was a struggle between his brows, as if he was weighing whether his words were credible.
Yun Jinxin was worried about Gu Quan, her face was full of anxiety, and she looked at Gu Huai eagerly, hoping that he would believe in her soon.
After a long while, Gu Huai finally nodded? "Okay, if you can't solve it, Ben?..."
Before he could finish his words, Yun Jin interrupted him: "If I can't solve it, there's no need for you to do anything!"
If I really can't solve it and he dies, I will go to accompany him.
Gu Huai was startled, and suddenly saw a kind of sadness on his face.
He couldn't help but be stunned.
There was no time to think about it, and there was no other way now, so I just trusted him for once.
"Let's go." Yun Jin got up from the ground and wiped the blood from his mouth.
Gu hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded, turned around and walked downstairs.
Yun Jin didn't even have time to change his clothes. He quickly told the servant a few words and walked out. That figure seemed to be more anxious than Gu Huai.
When the two arrived at the Third Prince's Palace, the imperial physician was changing Gu Quan's medicine.
Yun Jin saw Gu Quan lying on the bed, and his heart twitched violently, his eyes were sour and red. Gu Quan was sleeping with his eyes closed, his face was as pale as paper, without a single blood color, his thin lips were a little purple, and there was dark blue blood at the corner of his mouth, which was obviously caused by vomiting blood just now.
Yun Jin's nose felt sore, and he tried to blink his eyes, holding back the tears that were about to burst out. His eyes moved from Gu Quan's face to the wound on his left shoulder. Seeing the wound, his heart ached, and he suddenly remembered that when he first met him, he was also lying there dying like this.
But the only difference is? At that time, he was lying by the Xijiang River. Although I saved him at that time, I didn't care whether he could survive.
But now it is different. He wants him to be safe, healthy, happy and free from worries.
Even though he was prepared, he still found it hard to bear the sight of him lying on the bed, as if a large hand was clenching and tearing at his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
Who would he rather see lying here suffering? Himself.
There was a mist in Yun Jin's eyes. Looking at the person lying on the bed, he involuntarily stretched out his right hand, wanting to touch Gu Quan.
Before his fingers even touched Gu Quan's skin, he heard Gu Huai yelling, "What are you doing?!"
