She struggled twice, but didn't struggle away, so she let him go.

Nestling in Murong Heng's arms, she sighed quietly.

"Speaking of which, what do you think happened today between His Royal Highness Duan Wang and Lin Xiuyi?"

Murong Heng Ruyu raised her fingertips, played with a strand of her black hair, and said lightly.

"Whenever you can't think clearly about anything, just think about the benefits, and you will naturally be able to figure it out... But the result of this matter is actually good."

Murong Heng lowered his head: "The marriage between Lin Xiuyi and Prince Rui remains as usual, and I can marry you sooner."

Shen Ruoxi raised her head.

"Do you still have time to think about this?"

"if not?"

"You should think about your poisoning."

Shen Ruoxi lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow on her eyelids: "After Bai Luo returns to Yaowang Valley, I wonder if I can help..."

*

In a mountain forest far away from the capital, the further you go, the narrower the road becomes, and the mountains on both sides get higher, eventually becoming a canyon.

After walking along the canyon for a few hundred meters, the line of sight gradually broadened. It was vast and empty, but there was a different world.

Strange flowers and plants are spread all over the ground, and a majestic and grand hall stands in it, occupying an area of ​​hundreds of acres.

This is Yaowang Valley.

In the room of Valley Master Xiao Wentian, several soft sobs came from the room.

Nie Qian'er was wearing a bright yellow tube top skirt with a golden hollow tulle on the outside. She was lying beside Xiao Wentian's bed, gently wiping her tears.

"Grain Master, you are finally well. You have become thinner and thinner these days, which scares the slave family to death."

Xiao Wentian leaned against the bed, eating the deer antlers fed by Bai Luo, with a comforting smile on his wrinkled face.

"Stop crying. It doesn't look good even if you cry. I know my own body well. Don't worry, everything will be fine now."

As he said that, he looked at Bai Luo next to him, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"Thanks to Luo'er this time, you risked your life to get me this dragon bone."

After he finished speaking, there was a hint of concern in his eyes: "Is the wound on your shoulder getting better?"

Bai Luo lowered his eyes, with a respectful expression on his handsome and delicate face.

"I took some good medicine and got better quickly."

Xiao Wentian nodded, and then sighed: "I was very worried about you being out of the valley these days, but fortunately, you came back safely."

Nie Qian'er on the side said coquettishly and hooked Xiao Wentian's finger.

"Grain Master, aren't you worried about the slave family? The slave family has lost weight these days in order to take care of you."

"Yes, Qian'er also took the trouble."

Xiao Wentian held her delicate fingers with his backhand, with a doting look on his face.

Xiao Yunxi on the side couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"Nie Qian'er, why don't you just act coquettishly and shed a few tears here? Everything is done by servants. How can you compare with my senior brother's achievements?"

Nie Qian'er bit her lip and looked at Xiao Wentian with some dissatisfaction.

"Valley Master, look at her~"

"Yun Xi, Qian'er has put a lot of effort into serving me these days, but you, on the other hand, have not been seen all day long. Your own father is lying in bed and you don't know how to come and take care of him!"

Xiao Yunxi curled her lips unconvinced.

"Can't you just have your Qian'er to take care of you? What do you want me to do! Okay, I'll go out now and won't disturb you and your Qian'er's love!"

With that said, Xiao Yunxi walked outside.

She muttered as she walked.

"If I am served by that woman a few more times, I will die on her bed sooner or later..."

Her voice was neither loud nor quiet, just enough for a few people to hear.

Nie Qian'er's charming face instantly felt aggrieved.

"Valley Master, Yun Xi has never liked me. If it's because I ruined the relationship between your father and daughter, then I will really be a sinner. Why don't I leave the valley directly to prevent you from arguing all the time because of me."

"Yunxi is young and outspoken. You don't need to pay attention to her. You are mine. Now, in terms of status, she has to call you 'mother'. Even if she is dissatisfied, it cannot change this fact."

Hearing this, Nie Qian'er finally smiled.

Xiao Wentian scratched her nose.

"You go out first, Luo'er and I have something to say."

"Okay, then the slave family will leave first."

Nie Qian'er stood up softly, held her bun, twisted her waist and walked out.

As soon as she left, Xiao Wentian straightened his expression slightly and looked at Bai Luo.

"You said before that this dragon bone was given to you by Murong Heng?"

"Yes."

"He didn't ask for anything?"

"nothing now."

"That's strange. Murong Heng is not an enthusiastic Bodhisattva. What's more, Yaowang Valley and the royal family have old grudges."

Hearing this, Bai Luo paused and then said.

"He may want Yaowang Valley to help him detoxify. Foster father, have you heard of the poison 'Jiu Ye'?"

"Of course I've heard of it, what's the matter?"

"Murong Heng was poisoned."

"Oh?"

A strange look flashed in Xiao Wentian's eyes, his turbid eyes slightly raised, and he said: "The poison of 'Jiu Ye' cannot be detected by ordinary methods. How did he know that he was poisoned? "

Shen Ruoxi's face instantly appeared in Bai Luo's mind.

He said slowly.

"This time I came out of the valley, I met an interesting woman. She knows a lot about poisons, and I don't know where she learned it... Foster father, do you have a way to cure the poison of 'Jiu Ye'?"

"What, you want to save Murong Heng?"

Hearing this, Bai Luo shrugged: "His life and death are none of my business, but you know me well. What I don't like the most is owing favors."

Xiao Wentian pondered for a moment, then looked at the sunlight outside the window and slowly shook his head.

"Once poisoned by 'Jiu Ye', there is no cure in the world. Over time, it will slowly corrode people's heart and spirit, and the body will gradually weaken, and finally die suddenly. When the person dies, this poison will It will gradually disappear, and it will never be found."

Bai Luo frowned.

"So, Murong Heng is really hopeless?"

"It's hopeless, but..."

Xiao Wentian seemed to think of something, and then shook his head.

Forget it, that's just a rumor. It can't be true. Murong Heng will definitely die.

The bowl of deer antler bottomed out, and Xiao Wentian waved his hand.

"I've almost eaten. You go down and rest."

Bai Luo nodded, turned around and went down.

After he left, Xiao Wentian slowly opened the quilt, tremblingly picked up the crutch next to him, stood up, and pulled open a calligraphy and painting on the wall.

There is a hidden grid in the place covered by the calligraphy and painting.

He twisted it gently, and a hole opened in the secret compartment. There was a red porcelain bottle in the hole.

Xiao Wentian stretched out his withered fingers, tipped the porcelain bottle, and poured out a few tiny red pills.

He took one and placed it in the palm of his hand, a light shining in his eyes.

The most proud thing in his life was that he personally concocted the strange poison "Jiu Ye".
