“It’s poison again, you…” The man in black opened his eyes wide, his body trembled violently, and finally fell down weakly.

Leng Xue tightly clutched the handkerchief, which was the one Ye Yunzi had given her in advance and was soaked in antidote.

The man in black struggled for a few times, but eventually died from the onset of the poison. After the battle, Leng Xue seemed to have exhausted all her strength, kneeling on one knee, gasping for breath.

Ye Yunzi rushed forward. "Leng Xue! Leng Xue..."

Leng Xue reluctantly raised her head: "Miss, I'm fine. I wonder if you are okay? I'm late..." Her voice gradually weakened, and finally her eyes went dark and she fainted.

"Leng Xue!" Ye Yunzi was extremely anxious and hurriedly checked Leng Xue's breathing. Fortunately, she was just unconscious and her life was not in danger.

She held Leng Xue's hand and carefully felt her pulse.

Tao Qiming jumped off the carriage in a hurry and asked worriedly, "Miss Ye, how is Miss Leng?"

"Too much blood loss." Ye Yunzi looked serious, then checked Leng Xue's wound and relaxed a little.

"Fortunately, the wound was not poisoned."

"That's great..." Tao Qiming also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Yunzi continued, "Doctor Tao, let's carry Leng Xue onto the carriage first. I want to treat her wounds. Can you help prepare some blood-replenishing pills?"

"Leave it to me!" Tao Qiming agreed. He carried a lot of medicinal herbs with him, and making blood-replenishing pills was a piece of cake for him.

The two of them acted quickly. Ye Yunzi carefully treated Leng Xue's wounds in the carriage and gently took off her clothes.

Fortunately, most of the wounds were not deep and were quickly bandaged, but one wound on the arm was so severe that it almost broke the bone.

Ye Yunzi frowned, ordinary bandaging methods could not solve the problem.

After thinking for a moment, she took out a silver needle and thin thread, sterilized them with fire, and carefully sutured Leng Xue's wound.

Although Leng Xue was unconscious, she seemed to feel the pain and groaned softly.

Ye Yunzi raised her head, her eyes full of apology: "I'm sorry, Leng Xue, I made you suffer. You saved me, and I will never forget this kindness."

Leng Xue's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed. Ye Yunzi continued to apply medicine to Leng Xue's wound and bandaged it carefully. By the time everything was ready, she was already sweating profusely.

At this time, Tao Qiming's blood-replenishing pills were also ready. He knocked on the carriage door and said, "Miss Ye, the blood-replenishing pills are ready."

"Thank you, Doctor Tao." Ye Yunzi said as she pulled open the curtain.

"You're welcome." Tao Qiming handed over the porcelain bottle.

Ye Yunzi took the bottle, took out a few pills and fed them to Leng Xue. These pills melted in the mouth and were very convenient.

Tao Qiming looked into the carriage and saw the blood-stained clothes, which shocked him. He turned his head silently, with a heavy look in his eyes.

The night wind was chilly. Soon, Leng Xue started to have a fever, and Ye Yunzi prepared antipyretic medicine for her.

Tao Qiming picked up some firewood, lit a fire, sat by the fire and looked at the night sky quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Yunzi also came over, and the two sat side by side by the fire, neither speaking to each other.

"We will reach Yangzhou in two days." Tao Qiming broke the silence.

"Yeah." Ye Yunzi responded softly, her eyes cast towards the fire, and she secretly vowed in her heart that she would find the genius doctor Xue An no matter what and remove the poison from Shen Siyan.

She couldn't bear to see Si Yan suffer.

The next day, Leng Xue woke up from her coma and found herself lying in a carriage. She sat up suddenly, but frowned in pain because of the wound.

On the third day, she ignored the pain and was anxious to get off the bus, her heart full of worries.

At this time, Ye Yunzi heard the noise and walked into the carriage. Seeing that Leng Xue had woken up, she smiled and said, "You are finally awake."

Leng Xue barely stood up: "Miss..."

"It looks like you're much better now, but don't move your arm for the next few days. The wound is very deep, and it will be troublesome if it gets infected."

Leng Xue lowered her head to check her injuries and found that they had been carefully bandaged. It must have been the young lady who helped her with it.

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered something and looked up and asked, "How is Doctor Tao?"

The situation was urgent before, and she could only protect the young lady first, and had no time to care about others. If Doctor Tao was in danger...

Outside the car, Tao Qiming heard her voice, poked his head in and said, "I'm fine."

Seeing this, Leng Xue's tense nerves finally relaxed, but she immediately returned to her usual indifference.

Tao Qiming was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that Leng Xue always had a blank expression on her face, was difficult to approach, and was even somewhat hostile to him.

He didn't expect that at the critical moment, she would be so concerned about his safety. This made him realize that Leng Xue looked cold and hard on the outside, but she was very kind on the inside.

Ye Yunzi checked Leng Xue's pulse again, and after confirming that she was fine, she said, "Let's continue to Yangzhou."

"As you command, miss."

Ye Yunzi thought that only by reaching Yangzhou as soon as possible could Leng Xue recover from her injuries. Otherwise, if she encountered danger again, Leng Xue might not be able to deal with it.

On the other side, Baili Yue knelt outside the imperial study for a whole night in order to ask for an audience with her father. When the sun set and night fell, she was exhausted and finally fainted on the ground.

An old eunuch came out of the imperial study and happened to see this scene. He turned pale with fear and shouted, "Oh no! Her Royal Highness the Princess has fainted!"

The emperor stood up immediately upon hearing the voice, walked quickly to the door, and saw Baili Yue lying on the ground. He called out anxiously, "Yue'er, Yue'er..."

Among all his children, the emperor's favorite was Baili Yue. She was pure and innocent, like a piece of pure land in the palace.

Therefore, the emperor took great care of her and almost granted her every request, which also made her develop a spoiled character.

Despite this, the emperor could not give in this time. Baili Yue had been living a life of luxury since she was a child, so how could she endure the hardships outside the palace? Moreover, how could he bear to send his own daughter away?

"Yue'er, Yue'er!" the emperor called anxiously.

The old eunuch hurried to call the imperial physician.

Late at night, Baili Yue was rushed back to the palace and the imperial physician was summoned immediately.

After the examination, the doctor said: "The princess fainted because she was too tired. As long as she rests well for a few days and drinks more nourishing soup, she will recover soon."

After he finished speaking, he wrote out a prescription and asked the palace maid to get the medicine.

Baili Yue was lying on the bed, her face was pale, her lips were thin, and she looked very weak.

She persisted in kneeling for two days and two nights, from day to night, and never backed down. Eventually, she became exhausted and passed out.

The emperor sat by the bed, looking at Baili Yue lovingly, holding her hand, and whispered, "Yue'er, why are you doing this? I've already said I won't pursue the matter, why are you still so stubborn?"

The emperor sighed, feeling heavy-hearted.

There have been continuous changes in the palace recently, from the dethronement of the crown prince, to the murder of Concubine Xian, to Baili Ye's rebellion. Each incident has exhausted the emperor, and even a few strands of white hair have appeared on his temples.
