As soon as Bai Mo finished speaking, his throat was strangled by a strong hand. Xiao Yichen stared at Bai Mo's eyes with red eyes, and uttered word by word, "I order you to save her... As long as she can wake up, no matter what the price... As long as Ji Lingxue can survive..."
Bai Mo shook his head with a helpless look on his face. It was not that his medical skills were limited, but it was too late to treat the patient. He had no time to prepare the antidote and fight against death for life.
Xiao Yichen tightened his fingers and questioned, "Aren't you a doctor who claims to be able to revive the dead? Didn't you say you could revive a person who has one foot in a coffin? Why can't you do it this time? Why can't it be Ji Lingxue?"
Bai Mo spread his hands and said, "Prince, calm down. I understand your feelings. Listen to me, I am a miracle doctor, but this title is given by the patients. I am also a human, not a god. Not everyone can be cured. If you had sent Ji Lingxue to me an hour ago, I would not say that I could not cure her."
Xiao Yichen pushed Bai Mo away. Bai Mo staggered a few steps, covering his throat and coughing twice. This man is really crazy. He and Ji Lingxue are very loving, so why did they have a conflict so soon
Although Bai Mo really wanted to know why Ji Lingxue committed suicide by taking poison, seeing that she cherished her life very much and could even survive in the hands of the perverted Yuchi Gongru, but seeing Xiao Yichen's sad expression, he knew that his question was in vain.
Xiao Yichen held Ji Lingxue's hand, his eyes were bloodshot. The next moment, he seemed to have thought of something, turned around and rushed out.
Bai Mo, who was worried that Xiao Yichen would commit suicide, followed closely behind, "Prince, you should be more open-minded..." You should put the overall situation first. Ji Lingxue is very important to you, I understand. Now that your great cause has not been accomplished, this is not the time to care about sentimental matters.
Bai Mo wanted to say the following words, but unfortunately Xiao Yichen walked too fast and he could only see his back.
Xiao Yichen quickened his pace, not knowing whether he heard Bai Mo's words or not. He walked straight forward, and the gate of the side courtyard was right in front of him.
The tightly closed door opened the moment Xiao Yichen arrived. Mo Xiang stood behind the door and looked at Xiao Yichen with red eyes. The next moment she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please have mercy on the master and let her go. The master is kind-hearted. How could she kill Concubine Qing? Someone must have framed her... Please, Your Majesty, give her a break for the sake of your many years of relationship with the master." After that, Mo Xiang kowtowed.
Xiao Yichen rubbed his forehead. Although he had run a long way, his breathing was still steady. Ji Lingxue was not unrelated to Ji Yuqing's death, so only Mo Xiang would come forward to plead with him.
Xiao Yichen said: "Mo Xiang, you have followed the princess for many years, do you know that she has been researching poisons?" In his heart, Ji Lingxue has always been his princess. Even though he demoted her to a concubine yesterday, he still called her the princess.
This was his last hope. He hoped that Ji Lingxue had not pushed him to death. She had researched the poison herself, and at least she had found an antidote.
Mo Xiang raised his head with dirt on his forehead, and looked at Xiao Yichen in surprise. What did the prince mean by asking this? Was he going to use the poison developed by the master to deal with someone
After thinking for a moment, Mo Xiang turned around and ran into the house. Xiao Yichen's eyes lit up and he quickly followed Mo Xiang.
Bai Mo touched his chin, shook his head and followed.
Mo Xiang squatted in front of the bed and dragged out the big box under the bed. He opened the box, and inside were colorful bottles and jars. Xiao Yichen twitched his mouth. So many poisons were developed by Ji Lingxue alone
Mo Xiang turned to Xiao Yichen and said, "These are the poisons that the master has researched. The brighter the color of the bottle, the more toxic it is."
"Wow!" Bai Mo squatted in front of the box like a gust of wind, picked up a red porcelain bottle, pulled out the cork and sniffed it. The next moment he shook his body and rolled his eyes, "It's really... cool..."
Mo Xiang stretched out her hand to stop him, but was no match for Bai Mo. She watched helplessly as his cheeks turned blue. "That... Miracle Doctor... are you okay?"
Bai Mo put the cork in the bottle and waved his hand, "It's okay..."
He just didn't expect that Ji Lingxue had done so much research on poisons, and the smells were all very strange. They were not the common poisons on the market. Just like the bottle of poison he sniffed just now, it was a mixture of no less than twenty kinds of poisons, and it gave him a dizzy feeling like being drunk.
Xiao Yichen asked Mo Xiang: "Where is the antidote?"
Mo Xiang shook his head, "Some poison masters have never studied the antidote. Prince, who are you going to use poison against?"
Xiao Yichen did not answer Mo Xiang's question. He turned to look at Bai Mo and said, "Do you have any way to research an antidote?" If Bai Mo shook his head and said there was no way, he would hang this guy at the city gate today and put three words on his name: "Fake Miracle Doctor" and announce it to the world.
Bai Mo turned to look at Xiao Yichen: "Your Highness... this will take some time." He didn't know what kind of poison Ji Lingxue was poisoned with yet, so he had to study the composition and medicinal properties of the poison before he could formulate an antidote.
Xiao Yichen nodded and said, "I'll give you two hours. If you can't figure it out, you can die as an atonement." Then he turned and left.
Mo Xiang was completely confused by what she heard, and looked at Bai Mo, who was beside her with a blue face and a heavy responsibility, with a puzzled look, "Divine Doctor, what is the prince doing? You are by his side, so you must know something, right?"
Mo Xiang blinked, waiting for Bai Mo's answer.
Bai Mo coughed and said, "Um... Your name is Mo Xiang, right? You have been with the princess for so long, do you know the antidote for the poison I am suffering from?"
He feels very bad now, his head is as dizzy as that of a drunk person. If he doesn't detoxify quickly, how will he be able to do things for Xiao Yichen later
Mo Xiang said with embarrassment, "Well... my master and I just moved to this side yard, and we haven't had time to sort out many things. These bottles and jars were sorted out by the housekeeper at the time, and they were all mixed together. Now I'm not sure which one is the antidote. Aren't you a miracle doctor? You also know a lot about pharmacology. Let's look for it together."
Seeing Mo Xiang's serious search, Bai Mo was very upset. Time was running out. He pulled Mo Xiang up, picked up the wooden box and walked out. "Let's go, let's look for it somewhere else."
Mo Xiang asked seriously, "Where are we going?"
"Go save people." Without saying much, he pulled Mo Xiang to the room where Ji Lingxue was.
Mo Xiang stood at the door, her feet a little shaky. She held onto the door frame and pointed at Ji Lingxue, who was lying pale on the bed inside, and asked, "It's the master... What happened to her?" A bad premonition flashed through her mind.
Bai Mo said: "She was like this when I came. I guess she took poison."
The master committed suicide by taking poison
How is it possible? Even if Ji Yuqing died, she was killed by someone else. The master would not commit suicide out of fear of crime because of Ji Yuqing's death? This actually fulfilled the wishes of some people.
However, now is not the time to discuss this. Mo Xiang quickened his pace and walked to Ji Lingxue's bedside. He put his right hand on her wrist and used his left hand to open Ji Lingxue's eye sockets to check her pupil reaction.
Bai Mo's voice came from behind, "The princess' pulse is intermittent and very weak. If you don't check carefully, you can't detect it at all. What's strange is that she has no breathing or heartbeat, just like she is asleep. Her lips are normal in color and her face is pale. It doesn't look like a poison like the Crane's Beak Red."
Mo Xiang said, "I have been serving the princess. Although the princess occasionally makes poisons without being by her side, the poison materials she makes are not rare. It's just that dozens of herbs are mixed together, and the dosage and sequence are different. The princess uses mice to experiment after making the poison, and there is no such poisonous situation."
Bai Mo pinched his chin in thought, his mind a little dizzy, raised his hand and knocked, a porcelain bottle was handed to him, raised his head to meet Mo Xiang's dark eyes, "Didn't you say you didn't know which bottle was the antidote?"
Mo Xiang smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered it."
Bai Mo took the porcelain bottle, opened it, poured out a pill, tilted his head back and swallowed it, then closed his eyes and regulated his breathing to digest the pill.
Without Bai Mo's muttering behind him, Mo Xiang picked up a few porcelain bottles, opened the stoppers and sniffed, then shook his head in denial.
When Bai Mo opened his eyes, Mo Xiang lowered her head, holding a handkerchief in her hand and crying silently, "Bai Mo, the master... is gone... wuwu..."
Bai Mo had expected this result, but Xiao Yichen was unwilling to accept it.
The sky gradually darkened and heavy footsteps were heard outside. Xiao Yichen knew the result just by hearing the crying in the room. He clenched his fingers into a fist and raised his hand to smash it on the door frame. With a loud bang, Mo Xiang who was crying in the room and Bai Mo who was silent and dazed were startled.
"Your Highness!" Mo Xiang immediately stood up and saluted, and Bai Mo spread his hands regretfully.
Xiao Yichen stood in the room and shouted angrily: "All of you get out!"
Before leaving, Bai Mo patted Xiao Yichen on the shoulder, turned around and walked out.
Mo Xiang walked to the door, turned around and looked towards the room reluctantly, only to see Xiao Yichen sitting on the edge of the bed, holding Ji Lingxue in his arms, his chin resting on the top of Ji Lingxue's head, without saying a word, just holding her like that without moving.
The darkness was dispelled by the sunlight, which shone on the yellow roof tiles of the palace, but it could not dispel the sadness in the palace.
Yiyun stood in front of the window, looking at the peach buds in the yard and sighing softly.
Behind him, Linglan said, "Master, why are you sighing? You are the only mistress left in this palace now, and your marriage was granted by the emperor. Although the prince is immersed in sadness now, it will pass soon."
Yiyun's lips curled up into a faint smile, "Spring is here, but the palace is still so cold. Is the prince still in that woman's room?"
Linglan curled her lips and said, "Yes, I heard from the cleaning servants that the prince has been holding Xue Ji motionless, not drinking a drop of water, and never closing his eyes. Master, you should go and persuade the prince."
The body of Concubine Qing was still lying in the mourning hall, but the prince did not shed a single tear for her. Concubine Xue was just a concubine, but the prince treated her so differently. It was really enviable.
"Prepare some hot water, I'll go take a look." Yiyun ordered and turned to walk towards the door.
The sun was shining brightly outside. Yiyun walked around half of the palace and came to Yilan Courtyard. Xiao Yichen carried Ji Lingxue out of the dungeon and placed her in Yilan Courtyard.
