Su Yingxue lay on his chest and smiled sweetly. “Your Highness, you don’t have to blame yourself. I’ve already saved Xiao Yu today, so he’ll be fine. However, since the empress and Chu Chengye have taken action, I don’t think Xiao Yu will be able to stay in Jiang Du City in peace. Why don’t I work with him?”
“You want to work with him? How?” When Chu Yihan heard this, a hint of displeasure appeared on his face.
Su Yingxue knew that he cared, but she had no choice but to explain the matter clearly.
Instead of being targeted, they might as well take the initiative to attack and make Chu Chengye, the prince, and the empress get lost.
In the Qilin Garden, Su Yingxue went to treat Xiao Yu the next day. Her acupuncture technique was superb and could relieve Xiao Yu’s pain and restore his spirit. At the same time, Su Yingxue helped him expel a portion of the poisonous blood in his body.
“Miss Su, what’s going on? Why is Young Master’s blood this color?”
Xiao Si stared in astonishment at the copper basin, where the blood flowing from Xiao Yu’s wrist was a dark purple.
Su Yingxue, unaware of the Xiao family’s circumstances and unsure of Xiao Si’s loyalty to Xiao Yu, instructed, “Go find the Ninth Prince and hand this over to him. I’ll continue administering acupuncture to your young master.”
Although Xiao Si was very worried, he knew his boundaries and promptly delivered the items Su Yingxue had given him to Chu Jinling.
Once she left, Su Yingxue closed the door and explained to Xiao Yu, “I’m not familiar with the situation in your Xiao family, so I won’t easily let anyone know about your illness. I had to send him away.”
Xiao Yu nodded, his sickly handsome face retaining its usual coldness. “You’re right, but is my blood due to internal injuries?”
“No, it’s from poisoning.”
Su Yingxue pointed to the blood in the copper basin and clarified, “Yesterday, Your Highness injured you. I helped remove the blood clot from your chest, which was bright red. But this basin of dark blood is tainted by toxins accumulated in your body.”
“Poisoned?” Xiao Yu’s eyes held scrutiny as he looked at Su Yingxue meaningfully.
Su Yingxue could sense his guardedness and said, “It’s understandable if you don’t believe me. After all, despite seeing many doctors since childhood, none of them detected the poisoning. But I can assure you, your poor health since childhood isn’t due to congenital factors but rather decades of poisoning.”
Xiao Yu propped himself up on the bed’s edge, his bony hands gripping the frame with a creak. The intense emotions in his eyes contrasted with his previous indifference. “What poison? How did you discover it?”
“I don’t know why other doctors didn’t notice, but I did. Before you arrived, I knew a poison doctor, Saint Ruan. When we had spare time, we researched medicinal poisons together. There’s no obvious poison in your body, but the cause lies in your diet. For decades, you’ve been consuming foods that counteract each other, resulting in food poisoning. It gradually weakens your body and organs until premature death.”
Xiao Yu’s eyes betrayed disbelief.
For some reason, when Su Yingxue spoke, he subconsciously believed her!
Her steadiness made him feel assured!
Xiao Yu summoned the steward from Qilin Garden. Although he was not a servant of the Xiao family’s head, he was still a person transferred from the main family. He had many years of experience and was extremely reliable.
Xiao Yu said that he was hungry and asked them to serve lunch. He also brought the menu that they had prepared for him recently..
