Those helping Mr. Zong decocting herbs are on shifts, but Mr. Zong himself has been there all the time. He thinks that Nangong Ning is a freak. As a doctor, he has never seen a person doing self-detoxification in the way she is doing. In fact, a person with such toxins in the body should have died due to the outbreak of the toxins, but Nangong Ning is still alive, although the toxins in her body haven’t been detoxified yet, which proves that she is really a miracle!

It is dark now, and with the help of an oil lamp, Mr. Zong finds that the dark black look on her face has faded a lot.

“It works! My Lord, look! The method of her self-detoxification really works!” Cries Mr Zong.

On hearing Mr. Zong’s cries, Jun Qianye somehow takes the trouble to come over to see how the girl manages to survive on the verge of death, for he left the room of decocting herbs for quite some time due to his impatience.

There is an unbelievable look in his eyes when Jun Qianye sees Nangong Ning there breathing evenly, who seemed to be obviously dying a few hours ago.

Has she succeeded in her self-detoxification?

Suddenly, Mr. Zong gives a loud cry, “Miss Nangong!”, as he finds that Nangong Ning’s face somehow becomes dark black again and she looks more terrible than ever.

Then she opens her mouth, and a mouthful of black blood spurts out. And next, she rolls her eyes and flops to the ground.

She fainted several times before, but soon came to and started drinking the antidotes again. But this time, all the people present are waiting for her to come to for a long time in vain, and she is lying there motionlessly.

Mr. Zong is about to feel her pulse, but he is stopped by Jun Qianye, who says, “There is no need. She is gone with the outbreak of toxins.”

How could the impossible be possible!

Jun Qianye is annoyed by the feeling that he has believed that the woman could be successful in her self-detoxification. It is a laughable mistake for him to think so. He gets up and calls out, “Get out, all of you!”

Then he steps out before anyone else.

Weichu thinks on his feet and acts quickly. He directs the others to go out one after another with his waving hand, and then he helps Mr. Zong to stand on his feet, for the old man is too tired to stand up by himself. Both of them step out of the room.

"My Lord, shall we...? "

“Close the door behind you and send the woman to the Crown Prince’s Palace tomorrow morning!” Orders Jun Qianye in a cold and ruthless voice.

Weichu understands his order clearly.

How come that on her wedding day with the Crown Prince, Nangong Ning somehow falls into the Lord’s detoxifying pool, meanwhile the Crown Prince is getting married with another woman? There must be something odd here!

"Yes, sir!” replies Weichu loudly.

The door is closed at the command with Nangong Ning inside lying face down on the ground motionlessly.


Mr. Zong wants to say something, but he refrains, for he knows it is useless.

Nangong Ning is doomed to die from the poison from the hundred-variety-venomous insects whether or not Mr. Zong asks the mercy of their Lord.

He thought that Nangong Ning might be a genius for he is a person who cherishes and respects geniuses. However, what is the use of a genius if he or she is dead?

As the night deepens, the bustling Regent’s Mansion becomes quieter.

“My Lord, at the time when Miss Nangong was transferring the toxins from your body, it was possible for her to transfer all your toxins with her phoenix bracelet. But she was interrupted when you suddenly woke up and tried to clench her wrist with your hand. As a result, three kinds of toxins remain undetoxified in your body, so … “ Says Mr. Zong.

On hearing this, Jun Qianye says nothing, with his facial expression unchanged, but his eyes deepened.

Weichu could not help saying, “Mr. Zong, do you think it is our Lord’s fault?”

“Of course not. The remaining three kinds of toxins now have integrated into one, a very complicated toxin in our Lord’s body due to the long suppression by our Lord’s internal force, which, so far, I haven’t figured out how to detoxify.”

Jun Qianye says calmly, “I can suppress the toxin for the time being until you figure out the method to detoxify it.”

Mr. Zong opens his mouth, but no word comes out but a sigh. Then, he says, “Let me do the acupuncture for you, which may help you in your suppression of the toxin.”

Mr. Zong’s acupuncture work is interrupted by a sudden reporting voice from Bodyguard Wang, saying, “My Lord, the Crown Prince is here to see you with his followers.”

Weichu’s mind goes blank, looking at his Lord uneasily.

“My Lord, the Crown Prince is to …”

With a wave of his hand, Jun Qianye signals Mr. Zong to suspend doing his acupuncture work, saying, “It is likely he is here for that woman.”

Weichu says with a sinking face, “We haven’t sent the woman to the Crown Prince’s, but the Crown Prince himself has come here for her. It seems that things turn to be much more complicated. Let me deal with the matter.”

However, Jun Qianye gets up and says with his deep eyes, “I myself shall meet the Crown Prince.”

By saying this, Jun Qianye steps out, leaving Weichu there stupefied and Mr. Zong frozen with an acupuncture needle in his up-held hand.

Jun Zixuan, the Crown Prince, a handsome gentleman, is standing in the Hall of the Lord’s Mansion, with his hands clasped behind his back.

The steward of the Lord’s does not invite the Crown Prince to be seated. And the Crown Prince knows clearly that it is not proper for him to be seated here.

This is Jun Qianye’s Mansion, and Jun Qianye is his elder as well as the Regent of the State of Dongli. Although Jun Zixuan is the Crown Prince, his place is inferior to that of his uncle Jun Qianye.

Hearing the footsteps approaching, Jun Zixuan puts on a proper expression on his face, and turns to say, “General Weichu, is my uncle Regent …?”
