Capítulo 1636: Chapter 1637: Gong Juechen Is Poisoned

Watching Gong Juechen sucking snake venom out of him, Su Chengyu felt a great shock in his heart, and instantly, the shame made him want to find a hole to crawl into.

What on earth had he been doing before?

At this moment, Su Chengyu felt regret to the point of death.

After extracting the snake venom from Su Chengyu and spitting it aside, Gong Juechen didn’t even have time to take care of himself. He took out a small porcelain bottle from his chest, opened it, and sprinkled the medicinal powder onto Su Chengyu’s wound.

By the time Gong Juechen had a moment to care for himself, his lips had already turned black and purple from the snake venom.

“Chenglin, you?!” Su Chengyu was immediately frightened when he saw Gong Juechen in this state.

“The snake is coming, and you don’t even know to avoid it?! I really don’t know how someone as foolish as you can make him trust you to be this Emperor!” Gong Juechen scolded Su Chengyu while taking a detoxification pill for himself.

He already had poison in his body, and ordinary poisons couldn’t harm him, but this snake’s venom was too potent, which is why he got poisoned.

Fortunately, the poison in him weakened the snake venom considerably, so he wasn’t deeply poisoned.

But if Su Chengyu got poisoned, he would definitely die.

Thinking of this, Gong Juechen realized he had saved Su Chengyu once again…

He wanted to scold Su Chengyu again to vent his anger, but seeing Su Chengyu looking particularly worried about him, Gong Juechen immediately sneered, “What are you worried about? If I die, wouldn’t you be completely at ease?”

“Chenglin…” Apart from calling his name, Su Chengyu didn’t know what else to say.

At this moment, he truly felt ashamed to face him.

Because of the snake venom, Gong Juechen’s head felt a bit dizzy. He leaned against the cliff wall, not in the mood to say anything more to Su Chengyu. The snake venom made him very uncomfortable, as if his heart was being burned by fire. At this moment, Gong Juechen only hoped the detoxification pill would take effect soon to relieve him a bit.

Just when the detoxification pill began to take effect, and Gong Juechen was no longer as dizzy and his lips started to regain their normal color, finally someone found their way here.

“Emperor, is that you down there?” Because the cliff was very high, the people at the top couldn’t see clearly those at the bottom of the cliff.

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu shouted upward, “It’s me, quickly save me!”

Just then, Xiao Changyi rode up to the cliff on a horse. Hearing Su Chengyu’s voice, he immediately dismounted, took a rope from a small officer’s hand, and seeing the other end of the rope secured to a large tree not far away, he personally descended the cliff, intending to bring Su Chengyu up.

But as soon as he descended, seeing that Gong Juechen was also at the bottom of the cliff, Xiao Changyi was initially slightly stunned. Just as he was about to ask, Su Chengyu quickly told him, “Brother Yi, it was Chenglin who saved me.”

Then, Su Chengyu explained further in detail, and only then did Xiao Changyi learn that Gong Juechen had saved Su Chengyu twice today.

Gong Juechen didn’t care what Su Chengyu was telling Xiao Changyi. He took the rope from Xiao Changyi’s hand and went up with a bamboo basket on his back.

His Zhizhi was still waiting for him at home. It was already past noon; no doubt his Zhizhi must be worried, perhaps even out looking for him. He needed to hurry back.

Xiao Changyi stood at the bottom of the cliff, watching Gong Juechen climb up before he climbed up with Su Chengyu.

On the way back to the palace, Su Chengyu stayed silent for quite a while but eventually spoke to Xiao Changyi, “Brother Yi, I was wrong…”

After a pause, Su Chengyu continued, “Even if I wasn’t wrong in what I did before, now, I feel that I was wrong.”

Xiao Changyi remained silent.

Once back at the palace, the Imperial Physician examined Su Chengyu’s body, finding that apart from numerous bruises and slight disruption in his vital energy and blood, there was no serious problem. He invoked thanks to the heavens for protection.
