“Hurry up, His Highness is back.”
The sky was slightly bright, and there was a commotion outside the tent. Shen Yijia rubbed her eyes and glanced at Song Jingchen, who was putting on his clothes. She muttered, ‘What happened?”
“I think Lord Jing’an is back. I’ll go out and take a look. Sleep a little longer.”
Shen Yijia nodded and turned around to continue sleeping. She thought of something and sat up. She said in surprise, “The scumbag is back?”
Song Jingchen was silent for a moment. He suddenly sympathized with Xuanyuan Ce. Before he knew his background, Shen Yijia kept calling him a beautiful uncle. After she found out, he was always a scumbag in her eyes.
Although he did not know what the word “scum” meant in Shen Yijia’s words, it meant the same thing as trash.
“Wait for me. I’ll go with you.” Shen Yijia hurriedly got up to look for clothes.
Although Xuanyuan Ce did not tell them where he was going before he left, he had taken away thousands of people in the wilderness. It was not difficult to guess what was going on.
Moreover, he left because he saw the injury on Ji Luo’s face.
Seeing her like this, Song Jingchen knew that he couldn’t stop him, so he could only go forward and help.
When the two of them came out, the empty space outside the tent was already filled with people. When they saw the men, women, and children trembling in the middle of the soldiers, the two of them looked at each other.
Could it be that Xuanyuan Ce had really wiped out the Valley of Heavenly Secrets at once?
“Where’s your lord?” Song Jingchen asked a soldier.
The soldier frowned unhappily and glanced at Shen Yijia. He shrank his neck and said respectfully, “His Highness was injured and was sent back to the tent.” Shen Yijia cursed inwardly. Injured again?
She could not remember how many times she had heard the news of Xuanyuan Ce being injured from others.
Ever since he met Xuanyuan Ce, he seemed to be either recuperating or on the way to get injured.
However, he was able to live well in the end. It could be said that his vitality was comparable to a cockroach.
If she remembered correctly, You Yi had said that back then, when Ji Luo met Xuanyuan Ce, it was because she saved him from being seriously injured.
Song Jingchen didn’t know that she had thought so much in an instant. He pulled her to Xuanyuan Ce’s tent.
As soon as she approached, she saw Chu Feng hobbling out with a basin. When she saw the black blood in the basin, Shen Yijia frowned.
Seeing the two of them, Chu Feng’s eyes lit up. “Young Master Song, Madam
Song, you’re here.”
Song Jingchen nodded. “How’s your lord?”
“His Highness’s condition isn’t good.” Chu Feng said angrily, “The people of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets are really sinister. They kept using poison.”
Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. Other than divination, using poison was their other ability. Of course they’d use it.
However, that was not why she was here.
“Did you catch Ji Yunxi?” she asked.
Chu Feng shook his head with a bitter expression. “Ji Yunxi ran away with that high priest.”
The people of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets had lived in this mountain for hundreds of years and were much more familiar with the surrounding terrain than them. Since they were unable to kill them in one move, it was normal for them to escape.
Actually, he had advised Xuanyuan Ce not to be rash at that time, but
Xuanyuan Ce was in a fit of anger, so how could he listen to his advice?
“However, that high priest was also severely injured by His Highness.” Chu Feng felt that he had to regain some face for his lord. “If not for the other party using poison, that high priest would definitely not have been able to escape.” “Is that so?” Shen Yijia expressed her doubts.
Moreover, if she remembered correctly, Si Yun was already injured when she lert me vaney or Heavemy secrets witn ner Deauurul nusoana, ngncr
“Of course.” Chu Feng’s voice subconsciously became louder.
“Guard Chu.” A soldier ran over hurriedly.
Chu Feng frowned. “Didn’t I ask you to invite Miss MO Yuan? Where is she?”
The soldier looked troubled. “Miss MO Yuan said that she’s not His Highness’s doctor. ”
In other words, it was not her duty to treat Xuanyuan Ce’s injuries.
Chu Feng was stunned. He clearly did not expect MO Yuan to refuse. After all, she had been easy to talk to when he asked her to detoxify those soldiers.
Why couldn’t she do it when it came to His Highness?
The old doctor’s cry came from the tent.
Xuanyuan Ce vomited blood again.
Chu Feng stuffed the basin in his hand into the soldier’s hand and quickly ran in.
“Doctor Wang, didn’t you say that His Highness would be fine as long as he let out all the poisonous blood? How did it become like this?”
Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia lifted the curtain and entered. They saw Xuanyuan Ce lying there with a pale face.
One of his arms was resting on the edge of the bed, and his sleeves were rolled up high. His entire arm was purple, and black blood kept flowing out of the wound on it. It dripped down his arm into the copper basin on the ground.
“I don’t know either. Logically speaking, this method is feasible. Why did it become even more serious?” Doctor Wang explained with a trembling voice.
“What do you mean by common sense? You quack.” Chu Feng roared and kicked him away. He walked to Shen Yijia and knelt down. “Madam Song, please save my lord.”
“I don’t know how to detoxify poisons.” Shen Yijia frowned.
She had learned some medical knowledge from MO Yuan, but it was really just superficial knowledge. No matter how angry she was at Xuanyuan Ce for abandoning her mother back then, she could not joke about his life.
Moreover, it was unknown if MO Yuan had received her mother’s instructions to not come. She would not undermine her.
Chu Feng gritted his teeth. “Miss MO Yuan.”
At this moment, the tent flap was lifted again. MO Yuan supported Ji Luo, who was wearing a veil, and walked in.
Shen Yijia looked over curiously.
Ji Luo smiled warmly at her, but when he looked at Xuanyuan Ce, she was expressionless again.
“MO Yuan, go,” she said.
MO Yuan went forward expressionlessly and took out the silver needles she carried with her. She pressed the acupuncture points as instructed by Ji Luo and inserted the silver needles into Xuanyuan Ce’s arm one by one. The blood from the wound instantly stopped.
The unconscious Xuanyuan Ce seemed to have sensed something and frowned.
“Your Highness.” Chu Feng ran over.
“He was poisoned by Yu Manluo. If he hadn’t used his internal energy to suppress the poison in his arm, you wouldn’t have been able to bring him back in time,” Ji Luo said mockingly.
Chu Feng was shocked and bowed deeply to Ji Luo. “Madam, please save my lord.”
“Only the Valley of Heavenly Secrets has the medicine needed to detoxify the poison. It will take at least half a day to get back and forth, but he can only last for two hours at most. It’s too late. Get ready to collect his corpse.” These words were very direct.
Not to mention Chu Feng, even Shen Yijia’s heart skipped a beat.
She did not want Xuanyuan Ce to die.
Noticing her expression, Ji Luo sighed and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to say him.
It was impossible to save him.
She had already let go of her grudge with Xuanyuan Ce in the seven years in the Valley of Heavenly Secrets. The current Xuanyuan Ce was just a stranger to her.
If she thought about it a bit more, he would only have the identity of her daughter’s father.
Anything more than that was gone.
Since they were strangers, there was no need for her to deliberately kill him.
Shen Yijia opened her mouth. She knew that Ji Luo was not lying to her..
