"He Xun was sentenced to beheaded. His Majesty personally ordered it."
Ling Xiang's words ruthlessly shattered the last glimmer of hope in Zhang Qian's heart. She stared blankly at Ling Xiang, then banged on the cell door like crazy:
"You're lying! Are you taking revenge on me? Are you lying to me on purpose?"
"He Xun is imprisoned in the death row of Shuntian Prefecture. You can ask the jailers, they should all know." Ling Xiang stood up and left.
"Ms. Zhang, you still have nine months to think about who to raise the child with. There's no rush."
Seeing Ling Xiang leave without looking back, Zhang Qian became even more crazy: "Ling Xiang, you killed someone and still want to destroy his heart! How can you be so cruel! Without me, you would have starved to death long ago. You will be struck by lightning!"
Ling Xiang turned a deaf ear and planned to leave immediately, but the jailer told her that He Xun had asked to see her early in the morning and asked her if she wanted to meet him by the way.
"Then let's meet him. Please lead the way, big brother." Ling Xiangquan did a good deed that day.
Ever since he was ordered to be beheaded by the emperor and brought to Shuntian Prefecture, He Xun had hoped that the emperor would give him a chance to redeem himself and spare his life because of his abilities.
But, just yesterday, the jailer brought the news that he was about to be beheaded, and he completely collapsed.
It was in vain that he saved countless people in his life, but he could not save Zhang Qian, nor himself.
Seeing Ling Xiang appear, He Xun was like grabbing the last straw: "Ling Xiang, you are finally here!"
He Xun had brought his own death upon himself. It was purely his own fault. Ling Xiang had no sympathy for him at all. "What do you want from me?"
He Xun said anxiously: "Let me make a deal with you."
Ling Xiang wasn't very interested: "Oh, tell me about it."
He Xun was confident: "You are poisoned. If I die, you will die too!"
Ling Xiang took out the poisonous antidote that He Xun had given her: "Is this what you are talking about?"
He Xun couldn't believe it: "You didn't take the antidote?"
Ling Xiang took the medicine back and said, "Doctor Li, please prepare the antidote for me."
He Xun couldn't accept it: "How could this happen..."
Ling Xiang laughed: "He Xun, you are unworthy of being a doctor. You actually poisoned the antidote. Do you think everyone is a fool and will be manipulated by you?"
He Xun was deeply shocked.
It would be fine if Duanmu Linglong from the Medical Immortal Valley saw through his plan, but why could Ling Xiang, this inconspicuous little girl, also see through himself?
"He Xun, do you still have bargaining chips to make a deal with me?" Ling Xiang didn't mind sprinkling some chili powder on He Xun's wound.
"I have it!" He Xun was able to rise from an unknown boy to become a miracle doctor. He has a very high psychological quality and will never give up easily.
He looked at Ling Xiang's face and said, "I can remove the scars on your face!"
Ling Xiang touched her face nonchalantly: "You're not the only one who can remove scars. If you don't have other bargaining chips, don't waste your time here. After all, you don't have much time left..."
For a moment, He Xun really couldn't think of any other way to get Ling Xiang to save him, and his mood fell to the bottom.
Ling Xiang kindly comforted him, "Don't be so depressed. I have good news for you. Your former fiancée, the previous Mrs. Ling, is pregnant. She's been pregnant for a month."
He Xun was stunned for a long time, unable to believe his ears: "Qian'er, she's pregnant? One month?"
Ling Xiang nodded: "Yes, she said it's your seed."
"Haha, hahaha!" He Xun was so happy that he was at a loss for words. "I have a child! Qian'er and I have a child!"
"I really don't know what you're so happy about. Are you happy that you're about to be beheaded, or that your only child will become an orphan as soon as he's born? After all, Zhang Qian is sentenced to death, and she'll still be beheaded after giving birth."
Ling Xiang poured a bucket of cold water on He Xun's head, and He Xun immediately stopped laughing. "No, no, no! I can't die! I still have to save Qian'er! Our family of three must be fine!"
"Then you do your best." Ling Xiang shook her head, not wanting to waste time here.
"Ling Xiang! Stop!" He Xun had never wanted to live as much as he did now. "What do you want in exchange for saving Qian'er and me? You name the conditions! Even if it means obeying you for the rest of my life, I'll accept!"
Ling Xiang really didn't know where He Xun got his confidence from: "Why do you think I will save you, and why do you think I have the ability to save you?"
He Xun said anxiously, "Because you are the future Princess of Qin! Because you single-handedly brought down Ling Chengfu! Ling Xiang, you are not a simple person. I have seen that a long time ago. As long as you want to do it, there is nothing you can't do!"
Ling Xiang frowned, as if thinking about the feasibility.
He Xun saw that there was a chance, so he immediately swore an oath: "I, He Xun, swear to heaven today that as long as Ling Xiang saves me this time, I will obey Ling Xiang's orders unconditionally for the rest of my life!"
Being able to convince He Xun to work for him will indeed be of great help to his opening of a pharmacy.
Ling Xiang thought about it and felt that this deal was not a bad one, but He Xun was too scheming and could not be given any chance to turn against him:
"That's not enough. I want you to swear a heart oath. If you show even the slightest disobedience to me, your wife and children will be left alone for the rest of their lives, and you will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
Practitioners are most afraid of inner demons, and the inner demon oath is even more restricted by the laws of nature. He Xun hesitated.
"I knew you were untrustworthy. Forget it. I didn't want to spend the effort to save you anyway. It's such a hassle." Ling Xiang rolled her eyes and stood up to leave.
He Xun was afraid that Ling Xiang would leave like this and he would never be able to wait for anyone to save him, so he quickly made a vow:
"I, He Xun, swear an oath today that from now on, I will acknowledge Ling Xiang as my master and will never betray her. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death. My wife and children will be left alone for the rest of their lives!"
Ling Xiang hadn't expected that a trip to Shuntian Prefecture would yield a capable general, one who wasn't the type to worry about betraying her. She took out the elixir her mother had left her, and took out the only fake death pill inside:
"This is a fake death pill. Take it tomorrow morning. Then I'll come and save you."
He Xun was shocked: "Fake Death Pill? This is a pill that only exists in legends! How do you have it?"
Ling Xiang raised an eyebrow: "What did you call me?"
He Xun realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly corrected himself, "Master! I wonder where you got the fake death pill. If possible, I'd like to study it a bit and see if I can make some progress in alchemy. That way, I can serve you better in the future."
Ling Xiang was satisfied: "I like people who know how to adapt to the times. When you can survive and truly accept me as your master, I will give you this opportunity."
Determined to rescue He Xun, Ling Xiang quickly thought of a plan when she left the cell. After hesitating for a moment, she finally decided to ask Xuanyuan Qi for help.
After leaving the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion, Xuanyuan Qi went straight to the Prince of Qin's Mansion.
After Gao Zhenzhen took the initiative to go to Shuntian Mansion that day, Nangong Yu learned that it was his mother who interfered and forced Gao Zhenzhen to go to Shuntian Mansion, which led to a fierce conflict between him and the eldest princess.
Nangong Yu was determined to save Gao Zhenzhen at all costs and even found a scapegoat. However, the eldest princess disagreed with his approach and obstructed him, locking up the scapegoat, which led to the escalation of the conflict between mother and son.
