Thinking of this, Ye Yunzi couldn't help but shudder.

"Yingying, can I take your pulse?" she asked seriously.

"Taking the pulse? Do you know medicine?" Ji Xinying stretched out her hand despite being surprised.

In fact, she had given up hope of treatment long ago because many famous doctors told her that the disease was incurable.

Ye Yunzi gently held Ji Xinying's wrist, frowning. She felt that her pulse was abnormal and difficult to judge.

"Don't worry, I won't leave this world in the short term."

Ji Xinying pulled her hand back with a relaxed smile on her face, as if she didn't care about her fate at all.

Just as she was about to say something to comfort him, her expression suddenly turned into one of extreme pain. She covered her chest, clenched her teeth, and endured the severe pain.

What's going on? Didn't you say that I'll get better after taking the medicine?

A bloody taste rushed up her throat. She tried her best to suppress it, but in the end she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Ye Yunzi's face changed instantly, and she immediately called out loudly to the maid Yu Shu outside the door.

Yu Shu rushed in and was stunned when she saw what was happening.

"Miss...Miss Ji..."

"Help to support Miss Ji!" Ye Yunzi ordered.

"We are going to Ningcaotang."

Ye Yunzi supported the weak Ji Xinying, hurriedly got on the carriage, and headed straight for Ningcaotang.

"Doctor Tao!"

At this moment, they can only put their hopes on Dr. Tao Qiming, hoping to find a solution.

Tao Qiming was carefully taking care of the medicinal herbs in the yard when suddenly Ye Yunzi rushed in, her clothes covered with terrifying bloodstains.

"Miss Ye, what happened?" Tao Qiming asked in surprise.

"Doctor Tao, please help us!" Ye Yunzi's voice changed in anxiety. She explained that Ji Xinying's life was hanging by a thread in the carriage and she might not be able to hold on for much longer.

The coachman and Yu Shu helped the weak Ji Xinying over and laid her on the bed.

When Tao Qiming saw this situation, he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. Without asking any more questions, he quickly began to diagnose Ji Xinying.

Ji Xinying's face was pale and she had lost consciousness. Tao Qiming finished taking her pulse and said softly, "I'm sorry, I have to start now."

Then, he rolled up Ji Xinying's sleeves, revealing her slender arms, and then took out several silver needles from the package and accurately inserted them into the acupuncture points on her arms.

He moved quickly and accurately, inserting silver needles into her neck and head as well.

During the whole process, he acted very serious, with sweat even oozing out of his forehead, showing how critical Ji Xinying's condition was.

Ye Yunzi watched all this nervously, her brows furrowed. When Tao Qiming finished acupuncture, they both watched Ji Xinying's changes closely.

"Doctor Tao, will Miss Ji be okay?" Ye Yunzi asked anxiously.

Tao Qiming sighed, "It's not good. Her pulse is abnormal, and the toxins are already deeply buried in her body. It's hard to remove them. I can't guarantee that she can survive."

Hearing this, Ye Yunzi's heart sank. It turned out that she was really poisoned.

She looked at Ji Xinying, whose complexion was gradually improving and whose breathing was becoming more stable, and she couldn't help but feel sad. Who would have attacked such an innocent girl?

"I have temporarily controlled the onset of the toxicity, but I need to find another way to completely cure it." Tao Qiming said in a deep voice.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the door. Ye Yunzi recognized it as the voice of Lord Ji.

"Lord Ji has arrived."

She went out to greet him and saw Lord Ji sitting in a wheelchair with a pale face. When he saw her, Lord Ji hurriedly asked, "How is Yingying?"

Ye Yunzi's eyes were complicated: "Miss Ji was poisoned, does the Marquis know about this?"

Lord Ji held the armrests of his wheelchair tightly with both hands, remaining silent.

"The poison has been temporarily suppressed, but..." Ye Yunzi said frankly.

Upon learning that his daughter was still alive, Lord Ji was visibly relieved, but he was still trembling.

"My Lord, what kind of poison has Miss Ji been poisoned by?" Ye Yunzi asked in confusion. Judging from Lord Ji's behavior, he seemed to have had a premonition but had not taken any action.

Lord Ji clenched his teeth and his lips trembled slightly, obviously hiding many secrets that he was unwilling to tell.

After a long silence, the man finally spoke, his voice heavy and hoarse: "There is no antidote for this poison."

"How is this possible?" Ye Yunzi was in mixed emotions, full of doubts but didn't know where to start.

Lord Ji clenched his fists, his face turned livid, and memories of the past emerged in his mind. He recalled that she was poisoned when she was still a baby.

In order to find a way to detoxify her, he consulted almost all the famous doctors in the world, but in the end he could only barely control the poison, allowing her to survive until now.

At this moment, the door was pushed open with a slight sound. Tao Qiming appeared at the door and said to the two of them, "She's awake."

"Yingying!"

Lord Ji's face was filled with genuine worry, and he eagerly pushed the wheelchair inside. The guards beside him immediately stepped forward to help and lifted him over the threshold.

The girl on the bed slowly opened her eyes, with confusion in her eyes.

"Dad!" she called softly.

"Yingying, how do you feel now?" Lord Ji looked at his daughter's slightly pale face, his heart filled with pain.

He felt helpless and unable to alleviate any pain for his daughter.

Ji Xinying was silent for a moment, and her face, which was usually full of sunny smiles, was now lifeless.

She slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to suppress the fear in her heart, but her hands were still shaking slightly.

Although she often talked about death, when she really faced life and death, fear inevitably welled up in her heart.

"Dad, will I die?" she asked in an almost inaudible voice, her words trembling with an undisguise tremor.

Lord Ji's heart sank suddenly, and for a moment he couldn't find the right words of comfort.

After a long while, Ji Xinying managed to force out a smile:

"If my father hadn't saved me, I would have died a long time ago. I am very satisfied to be alive today."

Listening to the weak conversation coming from inside the house, Ye Yunzi gently pulled Tao Qiming aside and asked in a low voice: "Can you find a way to cure her poison?"

She trusted Tao Qiming's medical skills very much. In another time and space, he was appreciated by the Fourth Prince and saved countless lives with his superb skills.

In this world, he has used his miraculous healing skills many times, not only saving himself but also saving other important people.

However, this time Tao Qiming was not as confident as before, but said seriously: "I can only say that I am 30% sure."

Hearing this, Lord Ji immediately looked up, with a spark of hope in his eyes.

"Do you really have a way to cure Yingying's poison?"

Ji Xinying was equally surprised, her eyes full of disbelief.

"How is this possible?"

From childhood to adulthood, she had seen too many so-called miracle doctors who shook their heads at her and told her that the poison had no cure.

Gradually, she got used to this kind of life and just wanted to live one more day.
