Chapter 815: Chapter 813: Seizing Wu Dao’s Weakness
Little Ginseng trembled with fear.
Su Yingxue tilted her head and smiled, “1 apologize, but I’m already the Ninth Princess Consort, my lifetime commitment has been settled.”
“You… you’re so ruthless, you won’t be able to have children in the future!”
“My medical skills are so good, it’s impossible for me not to have children.”
“You… you’re so ruthless, in the future…”
Little Ginseng deflated, realizing it had nothing left to threaten Su Yingxue with.
Is there any spirit ginseng more miserable than it?
To have fallen this low, it truly had no equal!
“Don’t worry, from now on, I won’t let anything unexpected happen to myself.”
A look of determination flashed in Su Yingxue’s eyes, a mark of respect for herself.
She couldn’t let herself down, couldn’t disappoint her mother, and most certainly couldn’t fail all those in this world who cherished and loved her.
Su Yingxue did not let Little Ginseng get the better of her in their verbal exchange, but she still kept it company for a long time, as if accompanying a petulant child.
That was until she heard a noise outside the door.
She left Medicine King Valley to open the door, and Rong Sheng appeared at the entrance.
Rong Sheng had bathed before coming, and she carried a faint scent on her.
If it were anyone else, they would have thought it was the fragrance of flowers, obtainable through a petal bath.
But Su Yingxue could detect that it was the scent of poison. Rong Sheng had been trapped in Chu Yifeng’s chambers all year round, and the fragrance burnt there called ‘Must Enjoy to the Fullest,’ was a type of poison. Once inside the body, one must continuously inhale it; otherwise, after leaving it for more than two hours, the poison would act up in the system and failing to inhale it for an extended period would turn one into black bones.
This was the poison Chu Yifeng had administered to Rong Sheng.
Su Yingxue furrowed her brow and asked Rong Sheng, “Sister Rong Sheng, your medical skills are on par with my mother’s, haven’t you thought about creating an antidote for yourself?”
Rong Sheng shook her head.
She was a tranquil fairy, but every motion conveyed a deeper understanding to others.
Su Yingxue realized, “That’s true, although your medical expertise is high, you can’t stay away from Chu Yifeng for too long. He’s watching you, and it would be inconvenient for you to create an antidote.”
Compared to Rong Sheng, she had it much easier.
“Sister Rong Sheng, let me prepare an antidote for you,” Su Yingxue volunteered eagerly. Rong Sheng was her mother’s junior sister and had been so kind to her; she naturally wanted to rescue her.
Rong Sheng still shook her head, “There’s no need.”
“Why?” This caught Su Yingxue by surprise, for she could see that from yesterday to now, Rong Sheng’s time with Chu Yifeng had not been genuinely happy. Despite her good cover, there was an element of reluctance.
Rong Sheng spoke frankly, “The catalyst for the antidote, the Rootless Flower, has been destroyed by Chu Yifeng, and he has razed to the ground every place where it could grow. There’s no cure for this poison.”
Su Yingxue swallowed hard, this was beyond her wildest expectations, “Chu Yifeng truly is a madman!”
He loved Rong Sheng, yet wanted her to die rather than leave his side, using such extreme measures.
“The urgent matter at hand is not my poison. You asked me to come; you must have something else you want to inquire about,” Rong Sheng’s cool gaze shifted to Su Yingxue. It seemed calm and undisturbed, yet her eyes contained a hint of concern.
Su Yingxue nodded, “Indeed, 1 have something I wish to consult you about, concerning Wu Dao’s porphyria and also my mother and his story. 1 want to know more details.”
Rong Sheng had a rough idea and shared everything she knew.
She also handed Su Yingxue a book, “This is what I’ve written about the causes of porphyria and the methods your sister used. It contains modern medical knowledge as well as my own summaries. You may wish to peruse it when you have time..”
