Nangong Yu cast a barrier to isolate them and asked, "What happened to Zhenzhen?"
"Your Majesty, the poison Miss Gao was infected with seems to be similar to that of the eldest princess..."
"How is that possible! Her symptoms are obviously different from my mother's!"
Doctor Zhang explained, "It's probably because Miss Gao took the elixir given by Chengxuan Lingzun and just lost blood, which reduced the toxicity. Therefore, her symptoms are milder than those of the eldest princess."
"Your Highness..." Gao Zhenzhen grabbed Nangong Yu's sleeve, "Save the Princess first..."
After saying that, Gao Zhenzhen spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted.
Nangong Yu ordered Doctor Zhang to take good care of Gao Zhenzhen, remove the barrier, and placed all his hopes on Ling Xiang and Helian Xiao, especially Ling Xiang.
He could see that Ling Xiangxing's acupuncture skills were at their limit, his face was as pale as a piece of paper, and his aura was very unstable.
If Ling Xiang fails to perform the acupuncture successfully, he really can't imagine the consequences...
Just a few needles were left. Ling Xiang picked up the golden needle, but he couldn't use his spiritual power. He had to stop and quickly take the spiritual pill.
It takes time for the Bu Ling Dan to take effect, and she had already taken one before the acupuncture, so the effect of this one was greatly reduced, and she was afraid that it would not last until she finished the acupuncture.
She looked at Nangong Yu who was standing stupidly beside her, and her weak voice carried an irresistible tone: "What are you still standing there for? Come and help me!"
Nangong Yu finally reacted and walked over immediately. Without Ling Xiang's reminder, he circulated his spiritual power and transferred it to her in the most gentle way.
Ling Xiang picked up the gold needle and continued acupuncture.
Looking at the sweat dripping from the girl's face, Nangong Yu raised the hand wrapped in Ling Xiang's handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat off her face.
Ling Xiang's hand froze, and she almost missed the target. She scolded, "Don't touch me, unless you want to kill the princess!"
"Sorry, please continue. I won't bother you anymore."
After this, Nangong Yu didn't dare to make any other moves.
Finally, the acupuncture was completed. Ling Xiang's tense body relaxed and he wiped the sweat from his face.
Nangong Yu did not take back his spiritual power and continued to infuse it into Ling Xiang.
"No thanks." Ling Xiang refused.
Nangong Yu knew that the request he was about to make was excessive, but for Gao Zhenzhen's life, he said it anyway: "Miss Ling, please go check on Zhenzhen. She has also been poisoned."
Ling Xiang laughed in anger and said weakly, "Your Highness, your spiritual power is still in my body. You know my current situation better than anyone else! I need to save enough strength and spiritual power to remove the needles for the princess. Are you sure you want to drain my last bit of strength and put your mother in danger?"
On one side is his mother, and on the other is his sweetheart. Nangong Yu was caught in a dilemma and was speechless for a moment.
But Ling Xiang didn't give him a choice. She simply closed her eyes and meditated: "I don't even have the strength to pull out the needle now. Your Highness, I can't help your Miss Gao. We can only pray together now. Pray that Master can refine another antidote later. Pray that your Miss Gao can hold on to the end."
Nangong Yu looked at the exhausted Ling Xiang and knew that what she said was all true. He could not say anything to refute her, let alone ask her for more. He could only silently supply her with spiritual power.
Now, he seems to have no other use except doing this...
Ling Xiang calculated the time and used his last bit of strength to remove the needles for the princess. When the last golden needle was pulled out, Ling Xiang's body went limp and he fell straight back.
Nangong Yu quickly supported her: "Miss Ling, how are you?"
"I won't die..." Ling Xiang took out the pill and fed it to herself, but she had no strength and the pill fell to the ground.
Nangong Yu was very perceptive. He immediately picked up the pill, blew it clean, and fed it to Ling Xiang.
Ling Xiang was speechless. She glared at him, summoned the pill again, and mobilized all her strength to feed herself.
Nangong Yu took the pill from her hand and fed it to her.
Ling Xiang instinctively felt disgusted and closed her mouth. She didn't want to eat, but she really didn't have the strength to eat, so Nangong Yu easily pried her mouth open and fed her.
Ling Xiang was disgusted and closed her eyes to avoid looking at Nangong Yu's disgusting face.
Knowing that Ling Xiang didn't like him, Nangong Yu didn't want to cause trouble. He took out a cushion and a pillow from the storage ring, let Ling Xiang lie on the cushion, and cast a ban to isolate a quiet rest area for her.
He looked at Gao Zhenzhen who was still unconscious, and knew that Ling Xiang would not have the strength to treat Gao Zhenzhen. For a moment, he felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
He never imagined that one day he would have to rely entirely on Ling Xiang to save his life.
Fortunately, the doctors who had just been invited arrived one after another. Nangong Yu immediately ordered Chen Long to take them outside the yard to treat Gao Zhenzhen, hoping that these people could be of some use and help Gao Zhenzhen hold on until Chengxuan Lingzun could refine the antidote.
Gao Zhenzhen had only taken a small dose of the Three Poison Pill powder, so it was no problem for her to hold on until the antidote came out. In addition, she had a doctor who could help her slow down the spread of the poison, so she was able to hold on as well.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Helian Xiao only produced one antidote.
Helian Xiao had just been concentrating on refining the elixir, entering a state of ecstasy. He had no idea what was happening outside, so he immediately handed the antidote to Nangong Yu: "Go feed it to your mother, quickly!"
"Your Highness!" Nanny Gao, who had followed Gao Zhenzhen and hadn't dared to speak, suddenly knelt down and pleaded, "What should I do with my daughter?"
Nangong Yu hesitated while holding the only antidote.
Between his mother and Zhenzhen, who should he save?
Helian Xiao glanced at Gao Zhenzhen, frowned, walked over to feel her pulse, and withdrew his hand after a moment:
"She was only poisoned with less than 10% of the three poison pills the princess received. This antidote is used to fight poison with poison. The dosage is tailored for the princess. Giving it to Miss Gao, who is only slightly poisoned, will only hasten her death."
Nangong Yu heard this and no longer hesitated. He quickly fed the antidote to the princess and asked, "Uncle Helian, do you still have a way to save Zhenzhen?"
"That depends on whether there is still the Ksitigarbha Vine." Helian Xiao opened Nangong Yu's restriction and walked towards his disciple lying on the ground. He felt very distressed. He checked her, fed her several precious pills, and supplied her with spiritual power.
Ling Xiang slowly opened her eyes: "Thank you, Master. I'm fine."
"Don't be so stubborn. You've suffered a serious injury this time. It will take you ten days or half a month to recover. You need to take good care of yourself when you return to avoid damaging your foundation."
"Yes." Ling Xiang responded obediently, and took out another Ksitigarbha Immortal Vine, "Master, here you go."
"Xiang'er, the two lives saved in the Prince Qin's Mansion today are all thanks to you. This is also a great merit. You should have a good rest." Helian Xiao continued to refine the antidote.
Ling Xiang closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
There were so many people around that Nangong Yu re-set up restrictions for Ling Xiang to block her from being seen by others.
Helian Xiao succeeded in refining the elixir again, and Nangong Yu fed Gao Zhenzhen the antidote.
"It will take some time for them to wake up. My disciple is exhausted. I will take her back to recuperate. Yu'er, Xiang'er has done the best she can. She has not done anything wrong to you. Don't do anything stupid." Helian Xiao hugged Ling Xiang and left.
