Inside the room, Mr. Zong is giving Nangong Ning an examination, which makes him headache.

Although he is a medical saint, he is not an expert in detoxification.

Moreover, it is Nangong Ning who poisoned herself. The poison is very strange and he has never seen this kind of symptom, therefore, he doesn’t know how to find out what the poison is.

"Lord, I'm really incompetent!" says Mr. Zong, looking at Nangong Ning's swollen face. Now he feels pity for Nangong Ning and is not frightened to look at her face. “Lord, please help Miss Nangong!”

Nangong Ning is so unfortunate. At first, she transferred the toxin from the Regent’s body, and then the toxin inside her body became serious. And next, when the toxin in her body got toxified, she poisoned herself again with highly toxic poison.

Mr. Zong really sympathizes with her now.

Jun Qianye looks at Nangong Ning, thinking that Mr. Zong has been with him for so many years, and he knows his competence very well. Even though he is not good at detoxification, he usually has some means to deal with general poisons. It seems he is really incompetent in dealing with this kind of poison as what he says.

But how to save Nangong Ning?

If Mr. Zong is incompetent, somebody else may have the ability. But since Mr. Zong is the medical saint, the top physicians in the Palace could only be regarded as his disciples’ disciples.

A helpless and sentimental lament flashes in his eyes, and then Jun Qianye stares at the swollen face of Nangong Ning. All of a sudden, he makes a step up and sits beside her on the bed.

Seeing this, Mr. Zong’s face lightens with a look of hope on his face. An idea comes into his brain that the Lord is here, and of course, Miss Nangong will be saved.

While he is thinking, he sees that Jun Qianye stretches out to untie the sash of Nangong Ning.

Ah…, ah? What is he doing?

Mr. Zong is stunned.

At this moment Weichu comes in and accidentally sees Jun Qianye, with a cold face, unfastening the dress of Nangong Ning, stretching out his hands, very calmly and without any hesitation, and reaching into Nangong Ning’s clothes with both hands.

Weichu freezes instantly.

However, regardless of the reactions of the two men, Jun Qianye, with a cold and expressionless face, fumbles in her clothes and he is very serious in his action.

In a few minutes, he takes ten small bottles out of her clothes.

“My……my Lord,” stammers Mr. Zong, “Were you looking for something just now?”

Jun Qianye gives a cold glance at Mr. Zong, stretching out his hand with the bottles and saying, “Take them over and see which kind.”

“Ah?” Mr. Zong is stunned there with a dull face not knowing what the Regent’s intention is. He looks at the bottles for quite some time before he realizes all of a sudden and says, “Are they the poisons Miss Nangong swallows?”


Jun Qianye nods his head.

Mr. Zong feels a little embarrassed. Just now he thought that his Lord was trying to take advantage of her while she was .... Thinking of this, he glances at Nangong Ning, and really finds his brain enriched. No matter how hardcore his Lord is in his desire, he could not take advantage of her when she looks as she is now.

Weichu sighs a relief.

He also thought Jun Qianye was going to do something to her.

Fortunately, Jun Qianye didn’t.

Weichu is not ready to accept the fact that Nangong Ning is to be his Lord’s wife.

Jun Qianye vaguely feels that the two of them are a little odd, and says unhappily, “Can’t you hurry up?"

"Yes, right away!” replies Mr. Zong instantly and begins to study the ten small bottles carefully.

These porcelain bottles are particularly small, and each is about the size of a forefinger of an adult. They are jade with different colors, and the bottles themselves would cost a thorough pieces of gold.

Where did she get them?

Mr. Zong hasn’t noticed that she has these bottles.

"Only this bottle is half empty, my Lord." Mr. Zong quickly identifies a red jade bottle.

Jun Qianye takes it in his hand. Shaking it gently, he finds that there is only half of the liquid in it. The other nine small jade bottles are full.

Then he hands it back to Mr. Zong.

Mr. Zong takes it over, knowing what he should do. He then opens it carefully, sniffs it, and says with his hand shaking his beard twice, "It has no smell and is transparent and colorless. Though I am not good at poison, I am sure that this colorless, odorless poison is lethal."

Jun Qianye nods his head.

Jun Qianye takes over the red jade bottle again, thinks for a while and asks Mr. Zong, "You have a kind of pulse-protecting pill, don’t you?"

Mr. Zong nods, takes a small ebony box from his sleeve and opens it. There are three red pills in it.

“This pulse-protecting pill is to protect you in advance, that is, you can take it before you do something harmful, so that no matter what happens to you, your heart is protected and your pulse is normal,” says Mr. Zong.

Jun Qianye’s eyes sink a little, and he asks, “What about poison?”

“Poison? Do you mean whether it can protect one from being poisoned, Lord?” asks Mr. Zong. His heart misses a beat when he realizes what his Lord means, asking, “What do you want to do, Lord?”

Jun Qianye says quietly, “With my inner power and your pulse-protecting pill, Can I be OK for a while if I take the poison in this little bottle?”

Mr. Zong’s heart is beating faster, but he says, “With your inner power and my pulse-protecting pill, you are sure to be safe temporarily just like you were poisoned last time. You can use your inner power to suppress the toxin for some time, longer than ordinary people do if you are poisoned. But Lord, why do you want to take this poison?”

He vaguely guesses Jun Qianye's purpose. But Mr. Zong feels too surprised to believe.

"After I take it, I will tell you all the details of my symptoms, and then you have to find a way of detoxification for me," says Jun Qianye calmly.

Mr. Zong cannot say a word but looks at Jun Qianye and Weichucouldn't help crying out, “My Lord, please don’t do this!”

How should a woman as Nangong Ning is deserve what the Lord sacrifices!

"It's the only way," Jun Qianye says quietly.

Weichu suddenly becomes speechless, and Mr. Zong wants to oppose, but he also suddenly realizes that this really is the only way.

Jun Qianye was poisoned before, so they decided to use the approach of “like cures like” to combat poison with poison at that time. If Nangong Ning had not dropped from the cliff to destroy their plan, there would not have had the subsequent incidents.

Jun Qianye takes one of the pills from the box and swallows it before Mr. Zong speaks.

"Lord?" Weichu comes up hastily. Though he is anxious, he dares not stretch out his hand to stop Jun Qianye.

Jun Qianye takes the pulse-protecting pill, looks at Nangong Ning's swollen face, then resolutely picks up the red jade poison bottle, raises his neck and swallows it.

A worried look comes into Weichu’s eyes, and then, he angrily stares at Nangong Ning, who is lying without consciousness.

Mr. Zong takes out an acupuncture needle and inserts it at the heart-pulse acupoint on the body of Jun Qianye, saying, “This acupuncture will make it safer for you. How are you feeling now?”

“The poison is very strong,” says Jun Qianye in a deep voice.

Mr. Zong’s heart sinks and he takes out some more needles, inserting them at some special points on Jun Qianye’s body.

At this moment, something black appears between Jun Qianye’s eyebrows, which makes both Weichu and Mr. Zong very nervous.

Jun Qianye, with his eyes closed, seems directing his strength to other parts of his body, while Weichu and Mr. Zong, looking at him, dare not breathe hard in order not to disturb him.

After a while, he opens his eyes, looking calm and his eyes a little darker. He says, “The poison is very domineering, and it is tingling here."

Mr. Zong looks at where his Lord points on his body, and then quickly takes out a needle, stabbing it in, and instantly pulling it out. The tip of the needle turns into a strange red color.

With his beard shivering, Mr. Zong says, “Lord, this poison is really very strange, but if it is at this point, I can try to force the toxin out with the acupuncture needles. If it is effective, I can apply the method on Miss Nangong."

With a faint nod of his head, Jun Qianye says, “Go ahead."

Weichu could not help saying, "Mr. Zong, be careful!"

“Of course, I know. You come and help support him on the back," says Mr. Zong, "It may be painful."

Weichu hurries over and unbuttons his Lord’s coat so that Mr. Zong can insert needles.

Mr. Zong puts all his heart into the treatment, lifting a needle and stabbing it at him.

At this time, there is a bustling noise outside the Regent’s Mansion.

An Suying hasn’t left yet, for she does not give up, though she is angry and gets on the carriage.

"Miss, someone's coming," says a servant girl lifting the curtain, "And there are lots of people."

Leaning over and looking out of the carriage, An Suying suddenly becomes excited.

"It is the carriage from the Palace of the crown prince. It seems that Nangong Qingyao has received the message I sent to her. Great! Nangong Ning, I really want to see how you can still stay in the Regent’s Mansion!"

As she is speaking, the carriage arrives at the gate of the Regent's Mansion.

An Suying looks excited and says, “Let’s get off and have a look.”

As soon as she gets off the carriage, she sees a gorgeous carriage in front of the gate stop and the curtain of the carriage lifted. First comes out a girl who looks like a maid, then, she helps the one inside to get off.

It is a young lady who gets off the carriage, dressed in fine silk with a profusion pearls and hairpins on her head. Her beautiful face looks much more noble with all these gorgeous clothes and ornaments.

'Miss An?” Nangong Qingyao does not expect to see her here and her eyebrows raise slightly.

"How are you, Nangong Side Concubine?" says An Suying with sarcasm in her eyes. Nangong Qingyao was determined to take the crown princess's seat. Unfortunately, she only becomes the crown prince's side concubine when she married the crown prince in the name of her sister. That's ridiculous!

Nangong Qingyao feels a stab in her heart, but she still wears an arrogant look on her face and glances at An Suying. "Miss An has come to the Mansion again. Over the years, Miss An has been very persistent."

An Suying’s face suddenly changes as she hears this.

She loves Jun Qianye, which may not be known to all. But Nangong Qingyao absolutely knows that.

It is true that Jun Qianye has never been nice to the aristocratic women in the capital and it is also true that An Suying has come to the Mansion several times to see him, but each time she is refused to come in.

Therefore, the word “persistent” said by Nangong Qingyao does hurt An Suying!

An Suying's face is full of resentment. Nangong Qingyao steps out of the carriage and gives a glance at the maid beside her.

The maid knowingly nods her head and walks quickly to the gate of the Regnet’s Mansion, and says to the attendant standing there, "May I bother you to inform the Regent that the side concubine of the crown price is here to see him?”

"My Lord doesn’t receive visitors," says the attendant with a cold face frankly.

The maid's face changes and she takes a heavy small bag from her sleeve and hands it over to him with a smile.

"Here's a little money for you brothers to buy a cup of tea.”

The attendant does not accept it, but glances at the servant girl with a strange look. The servant girl smiles at him instantly. It is known to all that the Regent is not ordinary, but why even the attendant at the gate makes one feel cold?
