"Yin San has been poisoned by the Seven Star Begonia," Leng Ruoli said gravely after a moment's thought.
"Seven Star Begonia! That's a deadly poison. I once read about it in a book called 'The Compendium of Antidotes'," Doctor Yang said with a worried expression. "It said that after the Seven Star Begonia is made into poison, it's colorless, odorless, and traceless, making it impossible to guard against. Those poisoned by it die with a serene smile on their faces. It's truly the king of all poisons. However, the book didn't mention how to cure this poison."
"Ruoli, I've also read about the Seven Star Begonia. But this flower is extremely difficult to cultivate. It's very rare for someone to successfully grow it. I really don't know who would use such a sinister poison," Jun Mohan added with a solemn expression.
"Yes, the Seven Star Begonia is very difficult to cultivate, and the poison is also very difficult to cure."
With that, Leng Ruoli's expression remained unchanged, still as indifferent as ever. Her lips pursed slightly as she fell into deep thought.
The next moment, Leng Ruoli was brought back to awareness by Jun Mohan's call.
"Ruoli, can the poison of the Seven Star Begonia be cured?" Jun Mohan asked with a serious expression.
"Yes, it's actually very simple to cure. One just needs to find the fruit of the Seven Star Begonia, concoct an antidote, and then inject the antidote using acupuncture," Leng Ruoli said, her brows furrowed.
"Ruoli, you're saying that finding the fruit of the Seven Star Begonia can cure this poison?" Jun Mohan thought he had misheard. The method for curing the Seven Star Begonia poison seemed too unconventional.
"Yes, as long as you can find the fruit of the Seven Star Begonia, I can concoct the antidote to help Yin San recover. However, I don't have any Seven Star Begonia fruit with me," Leng Ruoli replied truthfully.
"The fruit of the Seven Star Begonia! Grandmother has five seeds. She received them from a highly enlightened monk at Yunhua Temple when she went to pray. The monk knew the Empress Dowager liked to grow flowers and gave her the Seven Star Begonia seeds he happened to find, suggesting she cultivate them in the imperial palace. However, the Empress Dowager knew the Seven Star Begonia was highly poisonous and worried that if cultivated, it might be used for malicious purposes by ill-intentioned people. Therefore, she didn't plan to cultivate it and kept the seeds locked in her small storeroom. Since it can cure the poison, I'll immediately send Yin Chen to the palace to ask Grandmother for two seeds of the Seven Star Begonia." Jun Mohan said with great joy.
"That's great! Yin San is truly fated not to die," Leng Ruoli breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
If Jun Mohan could help her find the Seven Star Begonia fruit, she could concoct the antidote and cure Yin San.
Immediately, Jun Mohan turned around and summoned Yin Chen, instructing him to go to the palace to retrieve the Seven Star Begonia seeds from the Empress Dowager.
After Yin Chen left for the palace, Leng Ruoli returned to Yin Yi's room to check on his condition.
With Chu Mingxuan's help, Yin Yi was doing much better.
Later, while waiting for Yin Chen's return, Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan discussed clues for finding Yin Er and Xiao Liuzi.
However, after much discussion, they still couldn't find any leads on the disappearance of Yin Er and Xiao Liuzi. With King Ji's arrival in the capital just a few days away, they had promised him they would take good care of Xiao Liuzi. To have such a thing happen was causing Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan a great deal of worry. They hoped Yin Er and Xiao Liuzi were safe, otherwise, it would be difficult for them to explain to King Ji and his wife.
Half an hour later, Yin Chen returned to the Leng Prince's manor from the imperial palace with two Seven Star Begonia fruits.
Upon receiving the Seven Star Begonia fruits, Leng Ruoli immediately returned to her room to concoct the antidote for Yin San.
She managed to create the antidote for Yin San in just half an hour.
Then, Leng Ruoli quickly retrieved the antidote from her space, bringing two sets of silver needles with her to Yin San and Yin Si's room, intending to personally administer the cure.
Leng Ruoli asked Doctor Yang and Doctor Han to remove Yin San's upper garment, and then she used acupuncture to inject the antidote into Yin San's body, leaving both Doctor Yang and Doctor Han stunned.
Normally, they administered medicine to patients either orally or through external application. This was the first time they had seen medicine being injected via acupuncture. This method was truly remarkable, and they had learned something new.
Leng Ruoli's needlework was incredibly fast. Her mastery of the silver needles was exceptional. She could insert needles into acupoints without needing to stare intently, and even with her eyes half-closed, she could accurately hit the acupoints. This greatly impressed Doctor Yang and Doctor Han.
Even Chu Mingxuan, who had come to observe, was captivated by Leng Ruoli's extraordinary acupuncture skills.
He felt that in the short half-year he had spent with Leng Ruoli, he had learned more practical medical knowledge than he had in over a decade of studying with the Ghost Valley.
Chu Mingxuan became even more certain that following Leng Ruoli was the right decision.
Another half an hour passed. After Leng Ruoli finished the acupuncture treatment and detoxified Yin San, her clothes were soaked with sweat. She tidied up her silver needles, gave Doctor Yang and Doctor Han a few instructions, and then immediately returned to her room, closed the door, and slipped into her system space to bathe.
As a doctor with a penchant for cleanliness, she would always take a bath and change her clothes immediately if they were sweaty or dirty, whenever she had the time.
The next day, as dawn broke, Leng Ruoli was still asleep when her door was knocked upon by Xing'er and Ling'er.
Yawning, Leng Ruoli reached for her bedside and realized that Leng Jun Mohan had already woken up.
Their relationship had been gradually warming up since their last outing. Leng Ruoli had tacitly allowed Jun Mohan to sleep in the same large bed as her. However, they still maintained a certain distance in bed. As long as Jun Mohan wasn't too overbearing, she wouldn't kick him off the bed.
Sometimes, when she woke up and found her pillow empty, she would feel a little unaccustomed to it.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you awake?" Xing'er asked softly.
"I'm awake. What's wrong?" Leng Ruoli replied loudly.
If nothing major had happened in the manor, Xing'er and Ling'er wouldn't have come to wake her up.
"Yin San has woken up, but ever since he woke, he's been vomiting non-stop. He's even vomited bile. Even Doctor Chu can't stop his vomiting, and his condition is very serious. His Highness has asked us to wake you up and have you come take a look," the two young maids said anxiously.
"Alright, I'll come over as soon as I'm dressed." Leng Ruoli quickly put on a pale yellow dress and walked out of the room towards Yin San's room.
When she arrived outside Yin San's room, she could hear the sound of vomiting from inside. Leng Ruoli hurried into the room, took a look at Yin San's complexion, and then ordered someone to go to the kitchen to cook a large bowl of mung bean soup and feed it to Yin San.
After Yin San drank a large bowl of mung bean water, he was fine.
