Nangong Yue's expression shifted from stern to a cold smile. She glanced up at the Emperor, seeing his pained and distressed look, and her heart ached. She quickly spoke, "She'll be fine. Your Majesty, please don't worry."
"Really? That's wonderful," Feng Xie said, looking at Nangong Yue with excitement. Their past grievances and affections seemed to vanish like smoke. He thanked heaven for letting her return alive. The two exchanged a smile. Nangong Yue turned and gestured to Luyi, who stood by the door, "Bring the medicinal bag."
"Yes, Master."
Luyi swiftly brought the medicinal bag. It had been a long time since her master had handled such things. She hadn't expected her to break her rule for seven nights to detoxify them, and that seven nights was actually the Empress.
Luyi looked at the woman lying on the bed. It was indeed the Empress. Gods, the world was too crazy. Luyi felt it was too thrilling and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Nangong Yue took out a silver needle and glanced at the stunned Luyi, "Take out one of the Yin Hua Pills for the Emperor to consume."
"Yes." This Yin Hua Pill could detoxify all poisons in the world. It was painstakingly refined by her master, who treasured it like a precious life-saving gem.
She hadn't expected her to give away everything upon meeting the Empress. Luyi took out a Yin Hua Pill and handed it to the Emperor, who was standing nearby. This Yin Hua Pill was made from sixteen rare medicinal ingredients.
The most precious among them were the Four Great Treasures: Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, Leopard Gall, Seven-Colored Snake Brain, and Bear Paw, combined with various rare herbs. It could cure all poisons.
However, there were a few poisons that the Yin Hua Pill couldn't cure, but they were very rare. Since her master had instructed her to give it to the Emperor, it must be effective. Moreover, if the Emperor took it, the imperial pharmacy in the palace would have all sorts of pills anyway.
Feng Xie swallowed the Yin Hua Pill without hesitation. He felt a cool sensation penetrate his lungs, bringing comfort throughout his body. The discomfort vanished in an instant. The poison had been neutralized.
Seeing Feng Xie's complexion recover, Nangong Yue spoke coldly.
"I'm not saving you. I want you to use your internal energy to protect her meridians. This way, her martial arts won't be lost. Otherwise, her internal energy might leak out, and it would take a long time to recover."
As soon as Nangong Yue finished speaking, Feng Xie immediately leaped onto the bed and carefully supported Liu Liu. He channeled his internal energy into Liu Liu's back, and a hazy airflow spread out.
Nangong Yue nodded in satisfaction. The silver needle flashed and pierced Liu Liu's fingertip. Dark, ink-like blood flowed out. Nangong Yue only let out a small amount and signaled Luyi to give Liu Liu a Yin Hua Pill.
Luyi immediately complied. Once everything was done, Feng Xie withdrew his internal energy and gently placed Liu Liu down. Seeing that the toxic gas on her face had receded significantly, he finally felt at ease.
Unexpectedly, the two men who had always been adversaries were now getting along harmoniously. They had once hated each other because of a woman, and now they were at peace because of a woman.
Suddenly, Zhi Gu rushed in from outside and spoke quickly, "Quickly, Mu Xing is not well. What should we do,楼主?"
After speaking, Zhi Gu looked up and saw everyone in the room, unsure of how to proceed. Before Feng Xie could even speak, Nangong Yue leaped out.
Feng Xie squeezed Liu Liu's hand and said softly, "Liu'er, don't worry. I won't let anything happen to Mu Xing." He then turned to the maids in the bedroom and instructed, "Take good care of your楼主."
"Yes," the two young maids nodded in shock. Hong Xiu didn't understand why these two outstanding men were so devoted to their楼主.
Only Cui'er understood, but she didn't want to say anything at the moment. She leaped to Liu Liu's side, knelt down, held her hand, and began to cry softly.
"Miss, that's wonderful! You're alright. Fortunately, Imperial Physician Nangong arrived, otherwise, what would we have done?"
After speaking, Cui'er, worried about Mu Xing, instructed Hong Xiu to take good care of her lady.
She went to the adjacent room to check on Mu Xing. Fortunately, Mu Xing had no internal energy, so there was no need to transfer it. She only needed to let out some blood and consume a Yin Hua Pill. Soon, she recovered and fell into a deep sleep.
Cui'er offered prayers of gratitude. Feng Xie looked up and saw the unusually painted Cui'er.
Cui'er hurriedly lowered her head, unsure how the Emperor would punish her. To her surprise, the Emperor said nothing. A faint smile touched his lips, and he instructed her to take good care of Mu Xing, as they still had others to detoxify.
Cui'er's mouth hung open. It wasn't until the Emperor walked out that she reacted. Oh my god, was this the Emperor?
The Emperor had changed so much. Compared to his past ferocity and cold charm, the difference was worlds apart.
An Emperor like this was truly captivating. Could Miss handle it? Cui'er smiled foolishly. Frankly, if the Emperor truly only loved Miss, she hoped Miss would return to the palace.
Although Miss had prospered over the years, she was still a woman and would be lonely in old age. She remembered Miss saying this once.
Thanks to Nangong Yue's arrival, the Feng Manor was spared a disaster. The poisoned individuals were all detoxified, with the only difference being that some had lost a portion of their internal energy.
This was because Feng Xie was not the type of benevolent person who would transfer internal energy to just anyone.
Except for Liu Liu, no one else had the honor. Therefore, losing internal energy was inevitable. After all the poisons were neutralized, Nangong Yue was also somewhat tired.
The two sat in a pavilion to rest for a while. Thinking of the suffering Liu Liu had endured, their eyes met with a green glow. A cold aura emanated from Feng Xie.
"Damn Hua Wuyou, to dare to do such a thing. I won't let him get away with it this time."
"This poison was administered by Hua Wuyou's people."
Nangong Yue picked up a tea bowl. Blue veins protruded on her fair hands, and her knuckles were white. It was this man who had abducted Liu'er back then. Otherwise, these situations wouldn't have occurred. The thought made Nangong Yue hate Hua Wuyou to the bone.
As they were talking, Ri Ying walked in and reported.
"Master, the poison was administered by a maid named Xiao Hong who serves Bu Xiangyin. In fact, that maid is a fake. The previous young maid was truly killed by Bu Xiangyin. This maid refuses to say anything, but your subordinate has sent people to force her to confess."
"No need for confession. It's certain that the detestable demon did this. Kill that maid. You detestable thing, haven't you found out the location of the Demon Palace's main altar yet?"
Feng Xie stared coldly at Ri Ying. Ri Ying quickly replied respectfully.
"Your subordinate was about to report. This matter has been investigated. The Demon Palace's main altar is on a mountain called 'Wolf Fang.' It is said that the mountain has five connected peaks, vast and sprawling, where the people of the Demon Palace reside. All five peaks have people, but your subordinate doesn't know which peak Hua Wuyou lives on because the mountain is heavily guarded, making it impossible to investigate."
Feng Xie's expression darkened. Since they could find the location, they would find a way to eliminate him. It was just five peaks.
I will dispatch more manpower to see if I can deal with you. Feng Xie waved his hand and gave a steady command.
