CHAPTER 92: NO ANTIDOTE

After he heard the imperial doctor say this, Yue Mingxuan finally let go of his collar.

He then sat down at the side, feeling defeated.

He didn’t yet have the power to investigate the secrets of the Beirong royal family.

Did this mean he could only watch Sui He’s face get destroyed right in front of him?

"It hurts..." Sui He murmured unconsciously in her sleep.

Yue Mingxuan rushed to the bedside and grabbed her hand.

Tears began to poured down his face.

He knew very well that standing out too much would attract danger, but he never thought it would come so quickly.

The poison was clearly meant for him.

Sui He had only taken it in his place.

The rotting skin on Sui He’s face was spreading at a speed visible to the eye, yet Yue Mingxuan had no way to stop it.

Even though he had great skills in modern art and knowledge from the world he came from, without modern medical tools he felt painfully limited.

And dealing with an ancient royal poison that had been lost for generations was far beyond what he could handle.

After sending away the imperial doctor, who left shaking his head and sighing, Yue Mingxuan returned to Sui He’s bedside.

The tears on his face slowly dried and his heart calmed little by little.

If he could find the one who poisoned her, then Sui He would have a small chance to survive.

He stared at Sui He lying on the bed, sinking deep into thought.

As a prince from another country, people might say he came as a guest, but everyone knew he was actually brought to Beirong as a hostage.

Because he was the least favored, he had been thrown here like a sacrifice.

So it was impossible that someone from his own country did this.

Was it the Beirong royal family?

Yue Mingxuan suddenly thought of how winning the title of Flower God this year had embarrassed the Beirong royal family.

But he immediately rejected this thought.

The emperor was treating him very kindly right now.

No one would dare to take a risk angering the emperor to poison him.

After ruling out people from his own country and the royal family of Beirong, Yue Mingxuan suddenly thought of one person and that person is Xie Lianhua.

Ever since he woke up in this world, that woman had been against him at every turn.

She acted sweet and innocent on the surface, but underneath she was cold and poisonous.

If he had not taken over this body, the original owner would probably have died so miserably that even his bones would not remain.

Thinking of this, Yue Mingxuan almost confirmed that Xie Lianhua was behind everything.

But they were both hostages from foreign countries, how could Xie Lianhua possibly get her hands on a secret poison that belonged only to the Beirong royal family?

Yue Mingxuan rubbed his temples.

He was out in the open while the enemy hid in the dark.

Sui He’s poison had to be cured and the hand behind all this had to be dragged out.

...

Night had grown deep.

Shang Qinghua leaned by the window while playing with a small bamboo tube in his hand.

Inside was the message delivered by Black River Society’s spies.

It should have been just one of the countless small events happening inside the palace, but because it involved Yue Mingxuan, he unknowingly paid more attention than usual.

After thinking for a moment, Shang Qinghua waved his hand.

A man in black dropped lightly from the roof.

Shang Qinghua flicked the bamboo tube into the man’s hand. "Send this to his courtyard."

Yue Mingxuan who is tired and overwhelmed had fallen asleep beside Sui He’s bed.

He had no idea when the Black River Society spy came in and delivered the bamboo tube.

When he woke up at dawn, there was a small tube placed right next to his hand.

When he opened it and pulled out the message inside, his fists tightened with anger as he read the message.

So it was really her!

Xie Lianhua... He swear that he wouldn’t let her go.

After glancing at Sui He lying on the bed, Yue Mingxuan straightened his messy clothes and headed directly toward Xie Lianhua’s residence.

His anger burned so fiercely that even his eyes carried a strange red glow.

When Yue Mingxuan arrived at Xie Lianhua’s residence, he didn’t wait for any servant to announce him.

He pushed the door directly and go straight inside.

Xie Lianhua had just gotten out of bed and was having her maid dress her and fix her hair.

When she suddenly saw Yue Mingxuan rush in, her face showed clear dislike. "Yue Mingxuan, has no one taught you manners?"

Yue Mingxuan didn’t want to waste even one breath on her. He held out his hand. "Give me the antidote."

Xie Lianhua turned her head and glared at the maid behind her.

These useless girls couldn’t do anything right.

They had actually left evidence behind when poisoning someone, which allowing Yue Mingxuan to find her door.

Not knowing if Yue Mingxuan had proof in his hands or not, Xie Lianhua softened her tone a little. "What are you talking about? I don’t understand."

Seeing Xie Lianhua still pretending innocence and remembering Sui He’s face, half-rotted already, Yue Mingxuan’s anger shot up like fire.

He stepped forward and slapped Xie Lianhua hard across the face. "If you don’t want others to know, then don’t do it in the first place. You should know exactly what antidote I’m talking about. Don’t act in front of me. It only makes me sick."

Xie Lianhua held her cheek and fury began to boiling inside her.

In her entire life, this was the first time someone slapped her.

nd the one who slapped her was Yue Mingxuan, the person she always looked down on.

While covering her face, Xie Lianhua was so angry that she laughing at her. "You must know there is no antidote. I only regret that the one who got poisoned wasn’t you. But since someone important to you was hurt instead, seeing you like this makes me very happy."
