Chapter 255: Chapter 152 Antidote to Poison_2 Chapter 255: Chapter 152 Antidote to Poison_2 Eastern Palace, Madam Zheng!
Even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, yet she could be so cruel!
With the help of Han Qiu and Xiao Cui, Gu Changsheng carried Zhou Mu to the bed, and as he gazed upon the sleeping, pale face before him, a flash of ruthless light passed through Gu Changsheng’s eyes.
To harm him to such an extent, and even his body’s own grandfather, Eastern Palace’s Madam Zheng, even if you are his legitimate mother, and he might spare you from death, of course, she wouldn’t want to take her life!
“Madam Zheng, don’t let me encounter you, otherwise I, Gu Changsheng, will make sure you wish you were dead!” His hand gently caressed Zhou Mu’s cheek as Gu Changsheng’s face took on a trance.
He had always stood tall and unyielding, like a towering mountain, and then she came into this world and met the cold and noble him…
He knew her requirements for choosing a husband, yet he didn’t even frown.
He said he would spoil her, pamper her, and favor only her. Initially, she took it as a joke, worlds apart, how could they even speak of love?
But now, he indulged her whims, defying the current Emperor for her sake, he didn’t mind the gossip, the defamation, her background, for her he traveled thousands of miles, over mountains and rivers…
In this life, to be treated by such a man!
What more could she, Gu Changsheng, possibly ask for?
After instructing Yhan Ting to move his entire pharmacy to the outer chamber, Gu Changsheng stood guard by his side and began to focus solely on researching various medicinal herbs.
Everyone knew that Gu Changsheng was skilled at diagnosing diseases and excelled in acupuncture, concocting and researching, but nobody knew that what she was really best at was making poison!
In modern society, developing poison meant causing harm to others, and that was a crime; she could only hide in the basement, secretly researching, creating poison, then disposing of it, before continuing her research…
Such was her cycle, never tiring of it!
Gu Changsheng even doubted whether she had a psychological illness. Why else would she be so devoted to those harmful poisons? Now she understood, perhaps it was already destined that she would come to this place, meet Zhou Mu…
Amidst Yhan Ting’s exclamations, Gu Changsheng slowly brought the bottle of Qianji Poison to her lips, unhesitatingly tipping a mouthful into her mouth.
“Lady Changsheng, that’s Qianji Poison, the unrivaled, unsolvable Qianji Poison!” Yhan Ting, who took orders like life and death, had reddened eyes.
Han Qiu and Xiao Cui also held their breath, utterly shocked.
The entire Dark Camp Fortress was tense as if facing a great enemy; at this moment, no one was concerned about gossip about Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, all were worried about Zhou Mu lying in the sickbed.
A bland medicinal taste spread across her lips and tongue, causing Gu Changsheng’s eyebrows to frown tightly.
Indeed, it was the most poisonous poison in the world, capable of masking its own smell through the mutual generation and inhibition of the herbs.
Closing her eyes and with her taste buds fully expanded, Gu Changsheng carefully sensed the flow of the poisonous liquid in her mouth…
The door to the inner chamber suddenly burst open, and Zhou Mu, with a frail body, strode out with red, almost crazed eyes, “Spit it out! Spit it out now!”
That was Qianji Poison; he had personally experienced the torture this poison had caused him.
Such bone-crushing, heart-devouring pain was simply not something a person could endure!
Gu Changsheng opened her eyes and looked at the man before her, her eyes and eyebrows slightly curved.
In the next instant, Zhou Mu pounced towards her like lightning, their lips meeting once again.
Before Gu Changsheng could come to her senses, her lips were pried open.
Zhou Mu hesitated not a moment to strike Gu Changsheng’s neck, causing her head to lower involuntarily, and the Qianji Poison in her mouth flowed entirely into Zhou Mu’s mouth.
Gu Changsheng couldn’t help coughing twice, and anxiously grabbed Zhou Mu, “What are you doing! Spit it out quickly!”
This was poison, poison they were fighting over to drink; had they lost their minds?
“Puh!” Spitting out the medicinal juice in his mouth, Zhou Mu hurriedly passed a teacup, “Rinse your mouth!”
It was only then that Gu Changsheng realized what he was worried about. She shook her head in resignation and helped him lie down on a nearby chair, “You’re already and still worry about me, rest assured, I’m fine. It’s you who should rinse your mouth quickly!”
He already had a deep accumulation of the Qianji poison in his body; it couldn’t be worsened!
“You crazy woman! Is this how you research an antidote? Do you no longer care for your life?” Zhou Mu threw off Gu Changsheng’s hand as he coughed twice more due to the agitation of his internal and external injuries, “If this is the case, even if you develop an antidote, this prince will not drink it!”
This was simply gambling with life!
The thought of her ingesting that mouthful of Qianji, and the panic of losing her, overwhelmed Zhou Mu, making his whole body tremble uncontrollably.
“Calm down, calm down!” Seeing this, Gu Changsheng quickly moved forward to soothe his chest, “I’m alright, I deal with medicine every day, how could I possibly die of it? You worry too much.”
She could die a thousand different ways, but definitely not from anything medicine-related.
Be it lifesaving medicine or harmful poison, neither was a match for her!
“You listen to me, I’ve lived with this poison for over ten years and am still alive. If anything happens to you, I will immediately die with you!” The more nonchalantly she spoke, the more Zhou Mu worried.
“Uh…” Gu Changsheng looked at the few people in the room, her cheeks slightly red.
Zhou Mu, who had openly declared his words, was completely unconcerned, “This prince will not seek an antidote any longer, and you are not allowed to research any antidotes either. Yhan Ting, throw all these medicinal herbs out!”
Gu Changsheng, momentarily embarrassed by the public confession, snapped back to reality. Like a protective eagle, she lunged toward the medicinal herbs on the table, her face filled with tension, “Yhan Ting, if you dare!”
Watching the couple in their love-hate relationship, Yhan Ting was caught in a dilemma.
One had just spoken of dying together.
One had, moments before, risked her life to test a poison for an antidote.
Were these two really the same people he knew?
Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu locked eyes, neither yielding. Gu Changsheng didn’t back down a bit, despite Zhou Mu’s illness, and they were at a standoff.
“It’s terrible, terrible!” Yuan Bao’s voice came from outside in a frantic shout.
