Nighttime, Linxuan Palace.
In the Linxuan Palace Pharmacy, Meng Qingrou was taking He Yunxiao's pulse.
"He Yunxiao".
Seeing the troubled look on Nan Zhu's wife's face, He Yunxiao assumed she had discovered "Autumn Cicada" and asked, "How is it?"
"Why is the toxicity of the Soul-Devouring Pill in your body increasing instead of decreasing? Did you take another one?"
"Huh?" He Yunxiao was startled by Nan Zhu's wife's words.
Instead of decreasing, it's increasing?
What's going on? Why is it getting worse despite treatment?
However, with the "ultimate version of poison resistance enhancement" in front, the "Hundred Gu Heart Protection Pill" as an antidote in the middle, and Nan Zhu's wife's medical skills behind, He Yunxiao was not flustered at all, and even joked: "After eating it, it's like a candy, quite sweet."
Meng Qingrou simply didn't believe it; the Soul-Devouring Pill was long gone. She didn't even know where he'd gotten the current one, let alone another. She pondered for a moment, "He wasn't this active yesterday... Did you eat something strange, like weird mushrooms or ginseng?"
He Yunxiao recalled that when he transferred stamina to Sister Jiang before, the skill panel of "misfortune and fortune are intertwined" clearly showed the toxicity of Autumn Cicada, but not the toxicity of Soul Devouring Pill. In addition, now his wife Nanzhu said that he couldn't eat strange medicinal herbs...
Could it be that the Soul-Eating Pill isn't poison at all?
"Rou'er, what exactly is the Soul-Devouring Pill?"
Meng Qingrou thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "A kind of... um... living medicine? It's like a seed. If you water it, it will grow. Otherwise, if you don't water it, it will gradually wither and eventually die."
He Yunxiao hadn't thought much of it before, but now, after hearing Nan Zhu's wife say this, he suddenly felt that the Soul-Devouring Pill was terrifying. "Isn't it poison?"
"It depends on how you look at it. The Soul-Devouring Pill can indeed kill people, but it can also make people healthier in a short period of time. For example, you, you're always lively and energetic, with abundant energy, all thanks to it."
The mention of "yang energy" came on again by accident, and Meng Qingrou's face instantly flushed crimson. She didn't dare look at He Yunxiao at that moment, her small hands fidgeting, her large eyes darting nervously elsewhere. (www.cascoo.net)
"In short, you don't need to worry. The Soul-Devouring Pill's potency is only slightly stronger. Nanzhu will adjust the prescription."
He Yunxiao wasn't worried about the Soul-Devouring Pill; he was more concerned about the "Autumn Cicada" inside Sister Jiang's body.
"Rou'er, have you noticed that there is another kind of poison in my body?"
Meng Qingrou suspiciously touched He Yunxiao's pulse and carefully sensed it for a while. "No."
He Yunxiao now truly witnessed the power of the "Autumn Cicada." Even Nan Zhu's wife couldn't detect it; it was indeed a deadly thing. It's worth noting that Nan Zhu's wife's medical skills had been praised by Imperial Physician Wei. She possessed unparalleled medical skills, capable of even counteracting the effects of the Soul-Devouring Pill.
"Ahem, Rou'er, have you ever heard of 'Autumn Cicada'?"
Upon hearing the words "autumn cicada," Meng Qingrou's expression immediately turned serious.
"You've been infected with 'Autumn Cicada'?"
"I have a friend..."
Seeing that his wife, Nanzhu, had entered serious mode, He Yunxiao said in a commanding tone that was not joking at all, "Come with me."
"oh."
Meng Qingrou walked to a medicine shelf, picked out a dried-out leaf, and handed it to He Yunxiao.
"Eat it, then go for a run to get your heart rate up."
He Yunxiao took the leaf, put it in his mouth, and mumbled, "Rou'er, I'm a martial artist. If you ask me to run my heartbeat faster, it will probably take me a very long time..."
Meng Qingrou said, "Then I'll prepare some medicine for you."
He Yunxiao laughed and said, "No need for that trouble." With that, he stepped forward, opened his arms, and hugged his petite and delicate wife, Nanzhu, into his arms.
"Rou'er, just let me hug you."
Meng Qingrou rested her head on He Yunxiao's chest, and she could clearly hear his heart gradually quickening.
A strong, powerful heart pounded incessantly, thump-thump-thump, like an increasingly rapid war drumbeat.
Their bodies were pressed tightly together, and He Yunxiao's breath filled Meng Qingrou's every breath.
Meng Qingrou snapped out of her serious demeanor, her face flushed and her body limp.
Suddenly, she felt something pressing against her lower abdomen from He Yunxiao's body.
"He Yunxiao".
"Um?"
"Can you please keep your hands to yourself and stop poking my stomach?"
He Yunxiao was extremely embarrassed.
However, the best way to defuse an awkward situation is to make the other person even more embarrassed.
"Rou'er, that's yang energy..."
Upon hearing the word "yang qi," Meng Qingrou's pretty face immediately turned bright red. She tried to argue, "Impossible. Nanzhu has read medical books. Don't take advantage of Nanzhu's ignorance."
Another armchair strategist.
He Yunxiao said with a tempting smile, "Don't believe me? Feel it."
Meng Qingrou blushed and said, "Fine, I'll touch you then."
Reaching out...froze...
Meng Qingrou already had a pair of extremely beautiful and lively eyes, which widened even more at this moment due to her unparalleled shock.
But He Yunxiao's smugness lasted only a second.
Subsequently:
"Rou'er, be gentle! Let go! I was wrong, I was wrong! I was really wrong, I'll never do it again..."
...
While He Yunxiao's heart was still beating fast, Meng Qingrou blushed and quickly used a small sharp knife to cut open his fingertip, took out a drop of blood, and dripped it into a special wooden box.
The wooden box contained some small insects, which scattered and fled at the sight of He Yunxiao's blood as if they were snakes or scorpions.
Upon seeing this, Meng Qingrou's flushed cheeks faded slightly, and she turned her back to He Yunxiao, saying, "You do indeed have the 'Autumn Cicada' poison in your body."
