The eldest princess frowned and said, "Xiang'er, your marriage to Yu'er was granted by His Majesty. If that's the case, I will pretend I didn't hear anything today. You must never mention it again in the future!"
Ling Xiang was very determined: "The prince was willing to hurt himself for Miss Gao. Ling Xiang is heartbroken. I don't want such things to happen often in my life. The prince loves Miss Gao and she and Miss Gao are in love. I am willing to withdraw and help them be together."
"The emperor's will cannot be violated! Xiang'er, no matter what you think, this marriage is a done deal. You, me, Yu'er, and Miss Gao must all accept it!"
Ling Xiang looked up at Nangong Yu: "Your Highness, what about you? A forced melon is not sweet. You don't want to see the three of us suffer for the rest of our lives, do you?"
Nangong Yu stared at the pair of stubborn fox eyes in front of him, then looked at the weak Gao Zhenzhen, closed his eyes, and made a choice: "This king never breaks his promise!"
Ling Xiang bowed again: "Princess, Ling Xiang takes her leave."
"Xiang'er! Don't worry, I will take care of everything and won't let you suffer any loss by marrying in!"
The princess tried to persuade him to stay, but Ling Xiang was very resolute, "Princess, there is no need to persuade me. A short pain is worse than a long one. The prince and I are not destined to be together."
Nangong Yu was equally resolute: "Mother, I have already promised to marry only Zhenzhen."
"Yu'er! You will regret this!" The eldest princess was so disappointed that she finally got the girl of destiny, but in the end, her own son didn't cherish her at all!
The eldest princess slammed the table hard, her expression suddenly changed, and she fell down without any warning.
Ling Xiang subconsciously wanted to help, but worried about being scammed, she immediately held her hand down, pretending to be panicked, covering her heart and screaming: "Ah! Princess!"
"The Princess!" Nanny Gui was quick to catch the Princess. She shook her gently a few times, but the Princess still didn't wake up. She immediately called to Doctor Zhang, "Come and save the Princess!"
"Go and save the princess!" Gao Zhenzhen immediately pushed Doctor Zhang out.
Ling Xiang looked like she had just recovered from her shock, "What happened to the Princess?"
Nangong Yu subconsciously looked at Ling Xiang, thought for a moment, suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and urged Doctor Zhang: "You must save my mother!"
Doctor Zhang hurriedly took the princess's pulse. Within a moment, his expression suddenly changed: "Oh no! The princess has been poisoned!"
"Is it possible to detoxify?" Nangong Yu, who usually remained calm even in the face of a crisis, was now extremely anxious.
Doctor Zhang carefully examined the patient for a long time and then shook his head:
"The poison the princess has been poisoned with is extremely powerful. I'm currently unable to determine what kind of poison it is, let alone find an antidote. Furthermore, I'm afraid the princess won't be able to hold out for much longer. Your Highness, I suggest calling in more doctors quickly. The more the better. Perhaps they can still find a way to save the princess."
Nangong Yu threw the token to Nanny Gui: "Go and invite all the imperial doctors in the palace!"
He then instructed Chen Long, "Go and call all the alchemists we have! And invite all the famous doctors in the capital!"
Ling Xiang tried hard to reduce her presence and didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Prince of Qin's Mansion. After all, the Prince of Qin's Mansion had no shortage of doctors or life-saving medicines, so they would not let the eldest princess get into trouble.
However, Nangong Yu would not let her, a ready-made doctor, go. After giving the princess a life-saving elixir, he looked at Ling Xiang and said, "Ling Xiang, please save my mother. I will agree to any conditions you ask for!"
Being named, Ling Xiang couldn't help but try her best, so she agreed: "The princess treats me so well. Since the prince trusts me, if I can save the princess, I will definitely do my best."
She took the eldest princess's pulse, then took out a golden needle to press her acupuncture points, and secretly took the eldest princess's blood and put it into the instrument in the space for testing.
After finishing all this, while waiting for the spatial instrument to analyze the results, Ling Xiang informed Nangong Yu: "The Alchemy Palace Master is at the Zhenguo Hou Mansion."
"Thank you!" Nangong Yu stood up and disappeared in an instant.
Not long after, Helian Xiao appeared with Nangong Yu. After diagnosing the princess, he frowned:
"Three Poison Pills, poisonous scorpions, poisonous snakes, and poisonous cicadas. Finding all three of these insects to make a poison is an extremely dangerous task. Refining their most toxic parts into a poison pill is even more difficult. Whoever can come up with this poison is determined to kill the princess!"
Nangong Yu was shocked: "Uncle Helian, can you detoxify me?"
"Yes!" Helian Xiao gave an affirmative answer. Before Nangong Yu could breathe a sigh of relief, he shook his head again, "It's a pity that the princess won't be able to hold on until I can find all the herbs and refine the antidote."
Nangong Yu hurriedly asked: "What herbs do you need?"
Helian Xiao glanced at Ling Xiang seemingly unintentionally: "I have all the other ones, but I'm still missing a highly poisonous thousand-year-old Ksitigarbha Immortal Vine, and it needs to be fresh."
Nangong Yu's heart sank.
He doesn't have the Ksitigarbha Vine, and he's afraid he won't be able to find it in a short time.
Is it true, mother, that there is really no hope for you?
Ling Xiang understood very well that his master must have known that he had taken out fresh Ksitigarbha Vine Fruit last time, and he must have Ksitigarbha Vine in his hand, so that's why he was looking at him.
Human life was at stake, so Ling Xiang pulled out a section of the Ksitigarbha Vine without hesitation. "Master, do you think this is okay?"
Helian Xiao took the Dizang Immortal Vine from Ling Xiang's hand with satisfaction: "Okay, now I can start refining the antidote. However, I'm afraid the princess won't live long enough to see the antidote succeed. Xiang'er, do you still remember the thirteen life-extending needles that your master taught you earlier?"
Ling Xiang nodded: "I remember."
"Master knows that it will be difficult for you to perform the Thirteen Life-Extending Needles with your current strength, but there is no other way now. You perform the acupuncture, and we have to race against time with God. Whether we can succeed depends on God's will." Helian Xiao immediately opened the cauldron to refine the elixir.
Ling Xiang also immediately swallowed two pills, took a deep breath, took out the golden needle, and told Nangong Yu to protect her and not let anyone make a sound, otherwise they would bear the consequences. Then she focused on acupuncture.
Nangong Yu issued a death order, sealing off the yard and clearing out outsiders. No one was allowed to make a sound, and anyone violating the order would be killed without mercy!
Gao Zhenzhen's heart jumped into her throat when she saw that there was hope for the eldest princess to be saved.
She can't let the eldest princess be rescued!
With a determined heart, she secretly fed herself a poison pill. After a while, she screamed and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
It was already difficult for Ling Xiang to perform acupuncture, and her nerves were stretched to the limit. She did not expect that someone would scream under Nangong Yu's control. Her hand trembled, and the gold needle in her hand fell.
Nangong Yu noticed that something was wrong with Ling Xiang at the first moment. His heart was in his throat, but he didn't dare to ask. He could only pray that Ling Xiang could give him some help and that nothing would go wrong.
Fortunately, Ling Xiang quickly regained her composure and took out the golden needles to give acupuncture again.
Nangong Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and walked gently towards Gao Zhenzhen, signaling Doctor Zhang to save her with his eyes.
After taking the patient's pulse, Doctor Zhang looked horrified, sweating profusely, and dared not speak.
