"Everyone except Physician Sun, get out," Shang Xiye said, his voice as cold as his gaze.
He appeared unusually calm, as if he possessed no emotion whatsoever. But those who knew him understood that this was his most dangerous moment, and no one dared to defy him at such a time, not even Black Owl.
Black Owl curled his lips meaningfully, then casually turned and walked away.
Wu Zhong and Bai Lu also silently withdrew.
Sun Shouli, trembling, withdrew his hand from taking Ji Fengyao's pulse and nervously began to speak of her condition: "Your Highness, the Princess Consort..."
"Will you die?" Shang Xiye interrupted Sun Shouli, his clear gaze falling lightly on Ji Fengyao's pale face, which seemed to be asleep.
Your Highness, your question is too difficult to answer. Would you like this old minister to answer "will I die, will I die, or will I die?"
Looking at Shang Xiye's unusually calm appearance, Sun Shouli hesitated before answering, "The poison that the Princess Consort has been given is indeed a poison that causes rapid death."
"Poison?" Wasn't it because I accidentally hit the back of his head, causing a swollen bump and unconsciousness?
"Yes, the poison that the Princess Consort was poisoned with is in the form of powder, colorless and odorless. It enters the body through damaged skin, and even the most robust person cannot survive for more than six hours. Therefore, it is called Six-Diffusive Powder." Sun Shouli had no idea about the swelling.
But Shang Xiye instantly realized that this matter was probably still related to the swelling he had caused: "Now that we know what kind of poison it is, why don't you quickly detoxify the princess?"
“Your Highness, please forgive my incompetence.” Sun Shouli never expected that the Ninth Prince would want to save this female bandit. He was so frightened that he knelt down and said with a face full of bitterness and sorrow, “Your Highness, you do not know that there are dozens of formulas for this Six Dispersing Powder, and more than ten of them are very easy to obtain. Without the original poison powder, no one else will know which formula it is made of and will be unable to make an antidote.”
Yes, it's a great medicine for both wandering the martial arts world and silencing enemies at home.
"You mean you can't concoct the antidote?" Shang Xiye's cold gaze enveloped Sun Shouli. If this old man dared to utter a single word of dissent, he would kill him with a single blow!
"Yes, yes!" Sun Shouli had spent his whole life working in the palace, so how could he not have this kind of insight? He nodded his head like a shovel: "Give this old minister some time, and this old minister will definitely be able to prepare an antidote for the Princess Consort."
"Then hurry up and go!"
Shang Xiye roared, and Sun Shouli sprang up from the ground like a rabbit, grabbed his medicine box, and ran off without stopping.
The maids and guards outside the courtyard sighed inwardly: "As expected of the imperial physician, he has excellent health maintenance. He can still run so fast at such an old age. He is really healthy."
Shang Xiye moved the wheelchair to the bedside, then stood up with the support of the chair, staggered a couple of steps and sat on the edge of the bed, looking softly at Ji Fengyao whose eyebrows were gently closed.
Perhaps it is only when faced with loss that a person with such a reserved personality like him realizes who is indispensable and whom he cannot let go of. Although he and she had only known each other for a short time, and their time together was not very pleasant in retrospect, this little thing had inadvertently entered his life, his soul, and his long-dormant heart.
Ji Fengyao: What on earth is this damn prince doing? Why is he sitting so close to her and staring at her?
Shang Xiye bent down and reached out to scoop up her soft body.
What's this guy up to? Does he think she's not unconscious enough and wants to send her on her way?
Just as Ji Fengyao was about to open her eyes and struggle to save herself, she felt herself fall into a broad, slightly cool embrace.
Ji Fengyao: "!"
