That night, Rong Xiu stayed with Chu Liuyue.
Chu Liuyue originally felt a little awkward, but her struggle was fruitless and she had no choice but to let him go.
But I don't know if it was because of overdraft of strength, so I fell asleep quickly.
On the contrary, Rong Xiu had no sleep all night.
Early the next morning, when Chu Liuyue woke up, Rong Xiu had already left.
She had a great sleep this time, the feeling of exhaustion in her body had dissipated, and her whole body had completely recovered.
She originally thought she would need to be raised for a few days, but now it seems that it is not necessary.
Chu Liuyue walked to the window and looked at Yifengyuan thoughtfully.
At this time, the gate of Yifengyuan was locked, and it was obvious that no one was there.
She frowned slightly.
What happened that made Rong Xiu leave so urgently
…
Walking on the road, Chu Liuyue clearly felt that the atmosphere in the entire college seemed to be much more tense.
The Qingjiao Competition is coming soon, and everyone wants to get a good result in the competition. No wonder everyone is so excited and looking forward to it.
Chu Liuyue came to Liao Zhongshu's residence alone.
He is the only one living here now, and it seems particularly deserted.
Chu Liuyue pushed the door open and saw Liao Zhongshu lying lifeless on the bed.
The sound of her coming in did not wake him, and his eyes remained closed.
Chu Liuyue walked to the bedside and checked his pulse, frowning tightly.
Although she had given Liao Zhongshu medicine before, the effect was limited after all. Now that the medicine is almost gone, the poison in his body may explode at any time.
And the vitality in his body was greatly damaged, making it even more difficult to support him.
Chu Liuyue called him:
"Liao Zhongshu, wake up?"
There was no reaction from the person on the bed.
She pushed him gently, and after a while, Liao Zhongshu finally woke up.
But his complexion was worse than a few days ago, and his eyes became dull, as if he might lose his breath at any time.
Seeing that the person coming was Chu Liuyue, Liao Zhongshu's eyes flashed and he struggled to get up.
But where does he have any strength now
Chu Liuyue held his shoulders.
"Don't move, just take the antidote."
With that said, he handed over the elixir.
Liao Zhongshu was surprised when he saw that what was handed over was not a decoction, but an elixir that could only be refined by a true heavenly doctor.
"This...is this the antidote you want back?"
His voice was very weak. If Chu Liuyue hadn't had sharp ears and eyesight, she might not have been able to hear him clearly.
Chu Liuyue paused and did not deny it.
"Um."
Liao Zhongshu swallowed the pill without doubting his presence.
The elixir melted in his mouth, and a gentle and majestic force immediately moved towards his limbs and bones!
"After taking this antidote, the remaining poison will be discharged within a day. But your body is too damaged and you will need to rest for about a month to fully recover."
Liao Zhongshu looked at Chu Liuyue gratefully.
"Zhongshu doesn't know how to repay such kindness..."
Chu Liuyue shook her head and said:
"This matter is also related to me. Someone targeted me, but they just attacked you first. Curing you is what I should do."
A look of horror flashed across Liao Zhongshu's eyes.
"I don't know who is behind this, so now, I need your help."
Liao Zhongshu nodded vigorously.
"Zhongshu must define no hesitation!"
Chu Liuyue briefly told him what had happened to Chu Xianmin before, but she did not say that she had refined the elixir herself, only that she had taken it from Chu Xianmin.
"...So, during this period of time, no one can find out that you have recovered. You will only tell the outside world that you are hanging on by some decoction. If the other party has doubts, they will definitely show up again! Only in this way can they be lured out."
Liao Zhongshu understood.
"I understand. Don't worry, I won't go out during this period. I'm just here pretending that the poison is not yet cleansed."
"Well, you can take advantage of this period of time to take a good rest. This elixir can not only help you remove toxins, but also warm and nourish your body. However, I still have to trouble you."
Liao Zhongshu smiled.
"It's all because of you that I can save my life. What kind of trouble is this little thing? You can rest assured. If there is anything abnormal, I will tell you as soon as possible."
Chu Liuyue breathed a sigh of relief.
"good."
…
Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye it was the eve of the Qingjiao Meeting.
The other two colleges have arrived one after another, and the imperial capital has become more and more lively.
Royal Palace, Wutong Hall.
Emperor Jiawen and the Queen were having a meal.
It was very quiet inside the hall.
The Queen raised her eyes to look at Emperor Jiawen from time to time, but hesitated to speak.
Today was the first time that Emperor Jiawen stayed with her in this period of time, and she was very happy.
She wanted to plead for the prince, but she was afraid of making Emperor Jiawen displeased.
Previously, she asked Chu Xiao to plead for mercy, but she was severely scolded.
So until now, she didn't dare to act rashly.
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
Emperor Jiawen said calmly.
The queen hesitated for a moment, then spoke.
"Your Majesty, the Youth Club is about to start. Do you think you should let the prince return to the academy to participate in the Youth Club?"
Emperor Jiawen's eyes were slightly cold.
"You really want to plead for him too."
The queen quickly said:
"Your Majesty, this concubine is not for the crown prince, but for you! This Qingjiao Association is related to the face of the family and the country. If Tianlu College is compared to you, then your face will be tarnished!"
Seeing that Emperor Jiawen looked serious but did not interrupt her, the queen felt a little relieved and said:
"Especially, this year's Youth Pride Competition is being held in the imperial capital. If we lose... wouldn't it be even worse? The prince is at fault, but he is young and energetic, and he is impulsive. Are you really not going to forgive me ever? Him? Apart from anything else, there are very few people in Tianlu Academy who can compare with the Crown Prince. Do you think we can make him redeem his merits?"
Emperor Jiawen rubbed his eyebrows.
In fact, during this period of time, his anger also dissipated a lot, not to mention that he also thought about what the queen said.
"Since you have spoken, give the prince a chance."
The queen quickly knelt down and thanked:
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Jiawen didn't want to say anything more, so he asked her to get up.
"Whatever he can achieve is his own business. But Zhenzhen, how are you doing recently?"
The smile on the queen's face faded a little, and there was a hint of sadness between her eyebrows.
"Zhenzhen has been very sad since the original elixir was destroyed. During this time, he has been staying in his dormitory and refused to come out. This... Your Majesty also knows that Zhenzhen used to be outstanding in all aspects, but now he has suffered such a blow. Naturally, she felt very uncomfortable. When I went to see her, I saw her crying secretly several times."
As the queen spoke, she also began to cry.
Emperor Jiawen sighed.
It’s not that he doesn’t love this daughter, how can he not feel uncomfortable hearing these words
"It's always like this, and it's not a solution. Just go and tell her that when the Qingjiao Conference starts, I will find other heavenly doctors for her to see if there is any solution."
The queen wiped the tears from her eyes and said gratefully:
"Then I will thank Your Majesty for Zhenzhen first."
