She opened her lips, about to say something, when a familiar voice suddenly rang out from behind her, "Si Luo, give him the antidote. There's no need to risk your life for someone like him; it's not worth it."
Si Luo was startled and turned around to look.
Sure enough, Wen Nongnong led a group of armored guards over.
"Your Highness." Bai Li snapped out of her daze and quickly went to greet her.
Wen Nongnong patted her hand, "Are you alright?"
“I’m perfectly fine,” Bai Li said immediately.
"That's good." Wen Nongnong was relieved and looked at Si Luo.
Si Luo came to her senses and said with pursed lips, "Keeping him alive will cause endless trouble. Moreover, even if we spare his life, he may not give me the antidote."
"It's alright, we can arrest him first, then you can give him the antidote, and we can slowly force him to hand over the antidote."
"Wen Nong Nong, don't even think I'll give him the antidote!" At this moment, the Lingyin Taoist priest, who was still on his last breath, suddenly cursed.
Wen Nongnong's gaze fell on him. Seeing that he was still so stubborn even after all this, she couldn't help but frown. "Master Lingyin, why did you have to be so ruthless? In the end, Si Luo has no grudge against you. Why did you have to risk your life?"
Master Lingyin said, "He is your man. I can't kill you, but at least he was poisoned because of you. Do you feel good about that?"
Wen Nong Nong's face darkened. "You're a madwoman!"
Master Lingyin said coldly, "That's right. Ever since you killed my Qingning, I've gone mad. Since I can't kill you, I'll take someone down with me. I've made a profit."
"I've said it before, Shen Qingning's death has nothing to do with me," Wen Nongnong said coldly.
Master Lingyin suddenly fell silent. "Yes, it has nothing to do with you, but she ended up like that because of you. Besides, her last words were to take your life."
Wen Nongnong was incredulous. Shen Qingning's dying words were actually meant to kill her? No wonder Master Lingyin was so desperate to kill her.
She rubbed her forehead, amazed that such twisted people existed in this world.
"careful!"
Suddenly, Si Luo shouted.
Wen Nongnong was startled when she saw a silver needle shoot out from Lingyin Dao's long sleeve, heading straight for her vital point. She was about to dodge to the side, but Si Luo was faster; he had already stretched out his arm and blocked the silver needle.
Wen Nongnong's eyes widened, "Si Luo!"
Si Luo ignored him and pierced Lingyin Daoist's chest with a single sword strike.
The victorious smile on Master Lingyin's face froze instantly, his wide eyes filled with intense resentment, and then he collapsed to the ground.
Wen Nongnong looked at Si Luo in surprise and exclaimed, "You don't want the antidote anymore?"
Si Luo pulled the silver needle out of her arm and saw the black part on it. Her expression finally changed.
He bent down and searched the Taoist priest's body, but found nothing except a few medical books.
Wen Nongnong also saw the black silver needle; clearly, it was poisoned.
At the time, Master Lingyin wanted to kill her, but he didn't expect Si Luo to stand in front of her.
"Si Luo, let's go back quickly and have Physician Lin treat you..."
"It's too late," Si Luo suddenly said.
Before Wen Nongnong could react, she saw a flash of snow-white light, followed by an arm flying out, with bright red blood splattering all over the ground.
Si Luo clutched her right shoulder and knelt down on the ground.
This time, not only Wen Nongnong, but also Bai Li and the other armored guards cried out in shock upon seeing this scene.
Wen Nongnong realized what was happening and rushed forward to help him up, "Si Luo, you..."
Si Luo's face was deathly pale. She quickly used acupressure to stop the bleeding. Seeing her worried expression, she even smiled at her and said, "It's alright, you won't die."
Wen Nongnong, her hands trembling, helped him up, not daring to look at his arm that had fallen to the ground.
It was too tragic; she didn't know what to say.
The group hurriedly returned to the Prince's Palace.
Physician Lin quickly bandaged Si Luo's wound, but looking at the wound that reached his shoulder, he couldn't help but ask, "How did you get injured like this?"
He had seen the wound; it was clearly a wound he had inflicted himself.
Wen Nongnong's face was very pale, filled with guilt and self-blame, and she didn't dare to look at Si Luo's wound.
Because she would always remember the image of Si Luo cutting off his own arm.
At that moment, Master Lingyin used his last breath to throw silver needles at her. Even without Si Luo saying anything, she knew that the silver needles were coated with deadly poison, but Si Luo blocked them for her.
Si Luo couldn't find the antidote on the Taoist priest, so to prevent the poison from spreading, he decisively cut off the arm.
Si Lan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her brother lying there, his face drained of color, and tears streamed down her face.
Seeing this, Si Luo raised her intact left hand and wiped away her tears. "Don't cry, it's just an arm, I won't die."
Si Lan buried her face in his chest and cried her heart out.
Her brother is so young, and now he has lost an arm. What will become of him?
Physician Lin sighed and said, "You may all leave. Let him rest properly." Although the poison in Si Luo's body has been cleared, he has only lost an arm, and his vitality has been greatly depleted. He needs to recuperate.
Wen Nongnong frowned and glanced at Si Luo, then stepped forward and said, "Si Luo, you should rest well. We'll go out first." With that, she helped Si Lan up.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Si Luo suddenly said, "You don't need to blame yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you. You could have dodged that silver needle. It was my meddling that caused this consequence. It's my own fault."
Moreover, his right arm was already ruined due to the accumulation of toxins. He was merely using this arm, which was destined to be useless, to gain her pity and sympathy.
