Chapter 272 Being Poisoned
The night was as dark as ink, the sound of horse hooves echoed in the silent palace road, and Xiao Chuhan's figure looked more determined under the moonlight. He carefully picked up the pale Lan Xi, gently put her on the saddle, and then he climbed on the horse, galloping with Yue Yin and others, heading straight for Yue Yin Palace.
The lights in Yueyin Palace were bright. When Xiao Chuhan and his party brought Lanxi into the palace, Yueyin immediately ordered people to place Lanxi in the bedroom she had carefully decorated and called the most outstanding physician in the palace.
The doctor was an old man with white hair and beard. He slowly walked to Lan Xi's bedside and gently placed his hand on Lan Xi's wrist. After a moment, the doctor's face became solemn, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was fighting a silent battle with the poison in Lan Xi's body. Yue Yin's heart tightened when she saw this, and she asked nervously, "How is she? Is her life in danger?"
The doctor sighed, shook his head and said, "This girl's pulse is weak, and her body is deeply poisoned. Although you gave her the antidote, Your Majesty, it can only temporarily control the spread of the poison. If you want to completely eliminate the poison from her body, I'm afraid you need to find another way."
Yue Yin heard this and felt a strong sense of helplessness. Yue Yin looked at the doctor and said anxiously, "Doctor Wang, you are a great doctor and are good at treating all kinds of poisons. Can't you develop an antidote? She saved my life. If it weren't for her, I would be the one lying here today. I can't just watch her die like this!"
The doctor thought for a moment and said slowly, "Your Majesty, please be patient and allow me to examine you carefully."
They gathered around Lan Xi's bed, anxiously waiting for news from Doctor Wang. Doctor Wang sometimes frowned in thought, sometimes shook his head and sighed.
After a while, Doctor Wang walked up to Yue Yin and said, "This poison is serious. It is a strange poison from the Western Regions called 'Soul Devouring Powder'. If there is no antidote, the poisoned person will die within three days."
When Yue Yin, Xiao Chuhan and the others heard this, their faces turned serious.
Doctor Wang said with a heavy face, "I have found the formula for the antidote, but the herbs required are extremely rare and the preparation process is complicated. I will immediately send someone to find these herbs and prepare the antidote myself. In the meantime, I will use acupuncture to temporarily stabilize her condition, hoping to buy her more time."
After hearing this, Xiao Chuhan and the others still felt anxious, but they also saw a glimmer of hope.
Yue Yin's face turned even paler. She clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth, "No matter what, we must find the antidote! At any cost!"
The doctor nodded, "I will try my best to find the herbs needed for the antidote. However, you still need to be careful of someone secretly doing bad things. After all, the person who can poison you must be extraordinary."
Yue Yin's heart sank. She knew she had many enemies, but she didn't expect them to be so bold as to attack her in the forbidden area. Now that Lan Xi was poisoned, Yue Yin secretly vowed to protect Lan Xi and find out who was behind it.
Yue Yin walked to Xiao Chuhan with some guilt, and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, since Xi'er was injured because of me, I will definitely find a way to save her and will never let her life be in danger. You two can stay here for the time being. It's very safe here, and no outsiders can enter Yue Yin Palace. As for those men in black today, I will definitely send people to investigate thoroughly and avenge Xi'er!"
Xiao Chuhan's eyes were extremely cold, and he said firmly: "You were the one who took her away, and you promised me that you would keep her safe. If you can't save Xier this time, I will never let you go."
Yue Yin nodded quickly, indicating that she understood his concerns, and promised: "Don't worry, I will never let anything happen to her." After that, Yue Yin and the rest of the people in the palace left the room together, leaving only Xiao Chuhan and Lan Xi.
In the palace, Yue Yin was wearing an exquisite mask. Her expression beneath the mask was frightening. Ye Feng stood behind her, bowing his head respectfully and waiting for instructions.
"Ye Feng, you must get to the bottom of today's matter for me. There must be no mistakes!" Yue Yin's voice was cold, revealing endless majesty.
Ye Feng immediately responded: "Ye Feng obeys your command!"
Ye Feng turned and left, and began to investigate what happened today. Ye Feng knew that this matter was very important to Yue Yin, and he had to find those men in black as soon as possible.
In recent days, the atmosphere in the palace has been suffocating. Doctor Wang ordered people to carefully deliver the boiled liquid medicine to Lan Xi's bed every day. The liquid medicine exuded a faint bitter taste. Doctor Wang came every day and carefully checked Lan Xi's pulse, fearing that the toxin lurking in Lan Xi's body would spread in the slightest.
Doctor Wang's medical skills were unmatched in the imperial city. His fingers gently rested on Lan Xi's pulse. The pulse was weak and fragile, but every beat was conveying a message of life to him. Doctor Wang concentrated and held his breath, concentrating on preparing the prescription. With Doctor Wang's unremitting efforts, the toxins in Lan Xi's body were temporarily suppressed.
Yue Yin sent out the most capable guards in the palace to find the rare herbs needed to make the antidote. Some of those herbs grew on cliffs, some were hidden deep in the forest, and some only existed in foreign countries. But no matter how difficult it was, Yue Yin never gave up. She knew that every herb represented a ray of hope for Lan Xi's life, and she could not be careless.
