Chapter 371: 372

Antidote

Over at Ye Mu’s side, she couldn’t find what she was looking for, and on the other side, Mo Linyuan’s condition also started getting worse.

Bloodletting could only slow down the speed of the poison infusing with the blood vessels. In addition, at the end of this method, a lot of blood would have flowed out and the person would be weaker. By then, even if there was an antidote, it would still be hopeless to turn around the situation.

Seeing Mo Linyuan on the verge of death, each of the imperial physicians panicked, while Ye Xiaolang was calmer. With a pale complexion and while covering his wound, he said.

“Pour him the ginseng soup.”

An imperial physician responded, “With His Majesty’s current condition, even if he’s given the ginseng soup, it might still be useless, there might even be a counteraction.”

He was about to cry as he said this. It was clearly Ye Mu who was poisoned before, how did it suddenly become His Majesty? If it was Ye Mu who died, they wouldn’t be very worried, but if His Majesty didn’t wake up, he was Mo Country’s only pillar. Once he fell, the flourishing Mo Country would definitely fall apart. If that happened, it would be a disaster for all the common people!

Ye Xiaolang shut his eyes. “I said, pour it!”

Seeing him unyielding, the imperial physicians had no other way, they could only pour the ginseng soup for Mo Linyuan to drink.

But Mo Linyuan at this time no longer knew how to swallow, only less than a quarter of the ginseng soup was fed. Ye Xiaolang furrowed his brows as he felt agitated. He paced back and forth, then personally gave Mo Linyuan the decoction!

“Gulp it down! Aji, xiaojie is risking her life for you. If something happens to you, you’ll be sorry for her!”

He roughly pried open Mo Linyuan’s closed teeth, and indignantly said, “Xiaojie also said she’ll marry you, do you want her to be a widow?!”

Maybe Ye Xiaolang’s words had an effect, but Mo Linyuan finally swallowed it. After the ginseng soup was downed, everyone quietly waited for his reaction with rapt attention. Seeing Mo Linyuan not spitting blood, everyone released their breaths.

His Majesty must have heard General Ye’s words, right?

Ye-xiaojie was risking her life for him now. Just these words alone made him hate to die, right?

Ye Mu nearly turned the whole treasure place upside down!

Aside from this treasure room, there was another place to hide treasure. But unfortunately, the mountains of gold and silver before her didn’t have the object she needed. She, who was restless with anxiety, in the end sat next to the mountain of gold.

There must be a place that was overlooked. How could there be no antidote? Thinking this, she ran up to the female corpse again, and directly moved her away.

She was extremely frantic, but her eyes were also very fierce. Below the female corpse, she found a secret compartment. She was extremely surprised. Opening the secret compartment, she found a scroll inside, as well as a bottle of medicine.

Ye Mu immediately fumbled for that medicine bottle, but the irritating thing was, the medicine bottle was empty!

She was rather flustered, before she opened the parchment scroll. There was a message written on it.

It was a message from the emperor to a confidant.

The big picture was, the person who killed the favored concubine had been given an extremely hypertoxic poison by him. He had used all his strength to avenge her.

And then, he himself couldn’t live for long. On his deathbed, so that that poison wouldn’t be curable, he asked people to destroy all the antidotes, including the antidote in the treasure place.

And the reason why the letter would be here was because, at that time, the person who came to bury the favored concubine wasn’t the emperor himself, but was the confidant of the favored concubine before her death.

After the favored concubine was buried here, so that bad people wouldn’t touch the favored concubine’s corpse, the emperor put this kind of poison on her. This not only prevented her corpse from rotting, but also made everyone who wanted to touch her die without a corpse*.

*dying without a corpse is believed to affect the person’s descendants.

But because he was afraid it would be his descendant that was poisoned, before he was buried, he stored two antidotes in this porcelain bottle.

But because the situation changed and it made the emperor want to destroy the antidotes in the porcelain bottle, he passed on a message to Ali, asking him to handle it.

As soon as she thought this poison no longer had an antidote, Ye Mu’s hands that were gripping the parchment paper trembled.

This poison really had no antidote?

According to the depiction on the murals, although the favored concubine was buried here, the emperor never personally came. He also couldn’t come because of the situation at that time, and the one who buried the favored concubine was her most trusted person.

And only after that person received the message, then he removed the antidotes in the medicine bottle. So he really destroyed it?

If it was destroyed, Ye Mu felt she herself didn’t have a chance anymore. If it wasn’t destroyed, she couldn’t find it in this whole treasure place.

Where exactly was it, then?

In the end, Ye Mu fixed her gaze on the favored concubine that was placed on one side by her.

At this moment, her skin sluggishly covered the skeleton. It looked extremely frightful, but Ye Mu now didn’t feel scared, only sadness.

“That time, you were wronged. Before you died, you dug out your eyes yourself to express your wrath. I understand you, you were unfortunate, but you were also so lucky, there was someone who acted so recklessly because of you.”

Ye Mu looked at her own hands that were turning green, the corners of her mouth overflowing with blood. She had touched the corpse of the favored concubine again before, and was also in a state of emotional turmoil. If there was no antidote, not to mention Mo Linyuan, she would also die. Just that, she didn’t expect, they couldn’t be together before death.

She wiped off the blood on the sides of her lips, her eyes sorrowful.

“And I, the antidote I request now is for two people. He could die without hesitation because of me, just like the ruler of the last empire being reckless for you. Because of me, he cast aside the country, taking my place to die. So, that’s why I’m here.”

Her complexion turned uglier, but she still persistently spoke.

“If—if there really are spirits, if you’re seeing all this, he’s a person worthy to be saved. I’m not asking for two antidotes, I just need you to give me one, just one! I’ve disturbed your body, how about giving you my life? But he—please let me save him!”

After Ye Mu was done speaking, she fixed her gaze on the favored concubine.

She felt she had gone crazy herself, actually pleading to a dead person. But right now, she held the completely empty antidote bottle. Besides asking her, who else could she ask?!

After a long time, just as Ye Mu laughed at her own foolish behavior, she suddenly saw the corpse’s eye move!

She went frigid from head to toe, and held her breath! Rather than fleeing, she stared fixedly at the female corpse. The next second, a worm drilled out under her eyelid. So it wasn’t that her eyelid had moved, but a worm was pushing out of her eyelid.

Ye Mu immediately felt despondent, but right at this moment, she froze.

The murals illustrated that the favored concubine dug out her own eyes. But right now, her eyelids didn’t shrivel down, but instead were slightly bulging, she—

The next second, Ye Mu stretched her hand out to open the favored concubine’s eyes.

In that instant, her heartbeat almost stopped, and she even forgot to breathe.
