Inside the Anyang Prefecture prison, Yu Shaoqing's white robes were stained with streaks of blood.
The whip in Ling Ran's hand had just been taken out of the salt water.
"Tell me, where is the antidote?"
Yu Shaoqing was bound, his face pale, a few drops of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. He had done a good deed, so how had he now become the villain?
"The Prince of Anyang is discerning and will surely find out the murderer who harmed Miss Qiu Kui!"
"Your Highness just said that Miss Qiu Kui has been poisoned. Perhaps you, Shaoqing, can help?"
"You know how to detoxify?" Ling Ran asked hurriedly.
He sneered, "When you have nothing better to do, you like to study rare poisons!"
"She is weak and has a feeble pulse. In three hours, she will be in a state of near death, and her body will begin to emit a putrid odor. If the okra girl's life is not taken within an hour, she will truly be gone!"
Ye Lisheng sneered, "You think you can fool me with just a few words!"

Xiangye was on the verge of tears: "Imperial Physician Wang, Miss's hands are getting colder and colder!"
The imperial physician stopped what he was doing and sniffed around: "Miss, can you smell anything?"
After he said that, Xiangye nodded in puzzlement, indicating that she could smell it too.

"The Imperial Physician's scent seems to be emanating from Miss!"
The servant rushed into the cell and whispered something in Ye Lisheng's ear, which greatly alarmed him.
His eyes sharpened, as if coated with ice: "You really didn't poison me?"
"A gentleman is upright and honest; Shaoqing would never stoop to such despicable acts!"
Anger clouded Ye Lisheng's judgment, but as he gradually calmed down and heard Yu Shaoqing's explanation, his doubts vanished.
"If you can save that girl's life, I will be eternally grateful!"
Ye Lisheng had always been a high and mighty figure, looking down on others. The fact that he was asked to lower himself and beg for mercy astonished everyone present.
"Your Highness!" Ling Ran called out softly, afraid he had misheard, wanting to confirm.
A sharp gaze pierced him: "Untie Young Master Yu now!"
"Yes...yes!"
