Xue Jinhua's face was filled with astonishment, her eyes were wide open, her mouth was slightly open...she simply couldn't believe it.

After the shock, her face was instantly filled with endless joy, and her smile was as bright and dazzling as a blooming spring flower.

"Li San, what...what did you say?" she asked in a trembling voice, as if she still couldn't believe what she had just heard.

Guyu stood aside, looking at Xue Jinhua's excited reaction, and he knew in his heart that she was too happy and a little bit unbelievable.

So, Li San hurriedly confirmed again: "Madam, it is absolutely true! Qingyi is now in the backyard, and the doctor is diagnosing Qingyi's illness now."

After hearing this, Xue Jinhua was finally convinced that this was not an illusion but a real thing.

She couldn't help but said, "Come on, let's go and take a look." As she said that, she couldn't wait to walk forward.

Not long after, several people arrived at the backyard.

He suddenly paused, quickly glanced around, and then changed his words and called out, "Master."

Xue Jinhua understood what Li San meant. She knew that Li San did this to avoid exposing his true identity.

After all, there are many people here and if you are not careful you may get into unnecessary trouble.

Xue Jinhua waved her hand and then asked with concern: "Li San, how did you meet Qing Yi? Also, how is she now? Is she in serious condition?"

Li San looked solemn and replied, "Master, I was originally in Kyoto doing things according to your instructions. But later I heard something happened at Huangshan Temple, and I was worried about your safety, so I asked around for your news. Fortunately, I ran into this young master on the road and learned that you might be in the north, so I rushed here without stopping. As for the condition of the young lady in green, the doctor is still diagnosing it, and the specific situation is not yet known."

"When I was passing through the northern border, I ran into Qingyi who was washed down by the current. She was covered in wounds and unconscious."

Just by listening to it, Xue Jinhua felt that it was extremely dangerous, and her heart was chilled to the extreme.

"Well, I thank you on behalf of Qingyi. This time it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for your help, Qingyi would have died long ago." Xue Jinhua took a deep breath, her heart filled with a complex emotion of gratitude and worry.

Li San looked troubled and serious. He said slowly, "Master, Qingyi's situation is not optimistic."

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua's heart sank suddenly, as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss in an instant.

She widened her eyes and asked with a trembling voice: "Why is this happening? What happened?"

Li San looked around vigilantly, lowered his voice and said to Xue Jinhua: "Master, there are too many people here, it's not convenient to talk. Let's go out and talk in detail." Xue Jinhua nodded and followed Li San out of the room.

Entering the room, Xue Jinhua immediately saw Qingyi lying quietly on the hospital bed.

Her face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood. Her originally round cheeks were now sunken. She had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, and she looked so pitiful.

At this time, an experienced old doctor was sitting beside the bed, concentrating on taking Qingyi's pulse.

Xue Jinhua knew that she couldn't disturb the old doctor from taking her pulse at this time, so she suppressed her inner anxiety and stood aside quietly waiting.

However, as time passed, the old doctor's expression became more and more solemn.

Xue Jinhua's heart began to beat faster and faster, almost jumping out of her throat.

Every moment seemed like a long ordeal for her.

Finally, after about a quarter of an hour, the old doctor slowly released his fingers from Qingluan's wrist.

Xue Jinhua immediately asked impatiently, "Doctor, how is Qingyi?"

The old doctor stroked his beard and said after thinking for a moment: "Fortunately, there is no need to worry about his life for the time being."

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, but then her expression became even more serious again.

Because she knew that although she had saved her life temporarily, the situation in the future was still not optimistic.

Qingyi's face was as pale as paper. She lay quietly on the hospital bed, breathing barely a thread, as if she would take her last breath at any time.

Her body was covered with wounds of varying sizes, and the blood had stained the white bedding red, looking horrifying.

Not only that, according to the diagnosis, she was actually poisoned by a rare and deadly poison! At this moment, she closed her eyes tightly and fell into a deep coma. No matter how others called her, she did not respond at all.

Xue Jinhua stood beside the bed, her heart tightly clenched. She held her breath and dared not breathe out loudly, for fear of disturbing Qingyi on the bed.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses. He looked anxiously at the old doctor who was checking her pulse and asked softly, "Doctor, is there any way to save her?"

The old doctor frowned, looking serious.

Xue Jinhua's heart sank when she saw this, but she still tried to remain calm and said quickly, "Doctor, if you need any herbs or instruments, just ask. Money is not a problem. As long as Qingyi can be saved, I don't mind spending any amount of money."

The old doctor was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he quickly shook his head and explained, "Master, please don't misunderstand me. I am not a person who is greedy for money."

"To be honest, Manager Li saved my life, and I came here to treat him to repay him."

"It's just that... the poison this girl was poisoned with is very strange. I have been practicing medicine for decades, but I have never seen such poison. It is really difficult to find a way to detoxify it at the moment."

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua's tense heartstrings relaxed a little, but the expression on her face became heavier.

He hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help asking: "Doctor, if she continues to be unconscious like this, will she..." He stopped before he finished speaking, as if he couldn't bear to say the terrible result.

However, the old doctor naturally understood what he meant. He sighed and said slowly, "Sir, this poison is extremely dangerous and has penetrated deep into your bones. If you can't wake up within seven days, I'm afraid you won't have another chance and will sleep forever."

When Xue Jinhua heard this, she felt as if a bolt of lightning had suddenly exploded in her head. Her vision went dark and her body shook involuntarily twice.

She could never have imagined that the situation would be so serious.

In an instant, countless complex emotions surged into her heart, making it almost unbearable for her.

Qingyi has followed him for so long, through thick and thin, and a deep friendship has already been formed between the two of them.

If she really met with an accident... Thinking of this, Xue Jinhua's heart suddenly tightened, and an indescribable fear instantly enveloped her, making her unable to think any further.

Li San, who was standing by, had a serious expression on his face. He stared at the doctor in front of him and asked in a low voice, "Doctor, is there any other way to save her?"

The doctor nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "It's not that there is no way."

Hearing this, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Xue Jinhua's dim eyes, as if a drowning person had grabbed the last straw. She asked anxiously: "Doctor, what is the solution? Tell us quickly!" As she spoke, her tone was slightly choked with excitement.

The doctor said slowly, "If you want to save people, you need to find the Tianshan Snow Lotus."

"Tien Shan Snow Lotus? Isn't it the rare treasure that is said to be able to cure all poisons in the world?" Xue Jinhua's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

The old doctor nodded slowly, expressing his affirmation: "It is this thing. As long as we can find the Tianshan Snow Lotus and let the patient take it, the toxins in his body will be eliminated and he will wake up then."

However, the old doctor then sighed softly and said with difficulty: "It's just that the Tianshan Snow Lotus has always grown in extremely harsh and cold environments. It is not easy to find it." After speaking, he shook his head and began to pack up the medical instruments and medicine boxes he brought with him.

"Even so, we must not give up any hope!" Xue Jinhua said gritting her teeth.

Li San also echoed: "That's right, no matter how difficult and dangerous it is, we will definitely go all out."

Seeing the two's firm attitude, the old doctor couldn't help but feel moved. He stopped what he was doing and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, the two of you, this poison is really very strange. I still need to go back to the mansion to study it carefully. Maybe I can find some clues from it and help you find the antidote as soon as possible."

After Xue Jinhua and Li San looked at each other, they both turned to the old doctor with sincerity on their faces and said in unison: "Thank you, doctor! I'll take care of everything this time!" Their words were full of trust and expectations for the old doctor.

After Gu Yu respectfully escorted the doctor out of the room, Xue Jinhua's originally relaxed expression suddenly became serious. She turned to look at Li San beside her and asked solemnly, "Li San, do you know anything about the Tianshan Snow Lotus?"

Li San nodded slightly, indicating that he had indeed just obtained some relevant information.

Seeing this, Xue Jinhua ordered without hesitation: "Hurry up and tell me."

Li San quickly responded, "Master, as far as I know, Lord Wen has the Tianshan Snow Lotus. He has been in Shangzhou for half a year. During this time, he took advantage of his official position to plunder the people and gain a lot of benefits."

"In addition, I have also heard an important piece of news. Ever since Young Master Jin arrived in Shangzhou, Lord Wen has been trying to curry favor with the powerful. In order to please Young Master Jin, he has given him this Tianshan Snow Lotus as a generous gift."

"If the situation continues to develop in this way, by the time tomorrow morning comes, Young Master Jin will most likely send Xuelian back to Kyoto."

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua's face became more solemn, and she thought to herself, if that was true, then Qingyi was truly hopeless.

Thinking of this, she looked determined and ordered decisively: "I have heard that Lord Wen has carefully prepared a grand dinner tonight to welcome Master Jin's arrival."

"Then in that case... tonight, while Young Master Jin is attending a banquet at the Wen Mansion, you should go to the government office to look for the Tianshan Snow Lotus. Don't make any mistakes!"

Li San looked at the scene in front of him with surprise, but deep in his heart he was still full of worry. He said anxiously: "Master, you are still pregnant. There is really no need to take such a risk for a little girl!"

Even though this matter may seem to be easier and smoother, as long as you stay with that Young Master Jin, your identity may be discovered by the other party at any time.

After all, without Qingyi's help and protection, the risk factor would undoubtedly increase greatly.

Moreover, without Qingyi, the worst that can happen is that you can just ask someone else for help, but if something unexpected happens to your own body, it would be too much of a loss!

However, after hearing this, Xue Jinhua simply responded softly: "If I really did that, wouldn't you feel chilled in your heart?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a warm current quickly swept through Zhao Lisan's heart... and when Guyu hurried back and heard these words, he also couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Then, Xue Jinhua took a deep breath and said slowly: "Although you are slaves, you are also my right-hand men! You know, people can be replaced constantly, but the sincerity and loyalty between each other are difficult to replace no matter what! If following me will only lead to death, then what is the point of staying with me?"

After hearing these words, Li San couldn't help but lower his head, and his emotions gradually became agitated.

He clasped his hands together and solemnly said to Xue Jinhua, "Master, please rest assured! Qingyi and I, Guyu, will work hard for you until our death, and will never let you down for your trust and expectations!"

"Just do your best. If you die, I'll have to find other people to replace you. It's too much trouble. Let's just forget it." Xue Jinmiao looked at Qingyi on the bed with a serious expression. She really didn't feel like joking at the moment.

She straightened her clothes a little, then turned to Li San and said, "Let's go. I'll go to the Wen family, and you go to the government office to handle related matters. Do you understand?"

Li San knew that once Xue Jinhua made up her mind, it would be difficult to change it, so he quickly responded, "Yes, sir."

.........

Soon, Xue Jinhua arrived at the gate of Wen Mansion.

After she revealed her identity, the doorman went in to report, and a moment later, Master Wen came out in person to greet her.

However, when Mr. Wen saw that the person coming was Xue Jinhua, he was slightly stunned and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

You know, tonight's banquet was specially arranged to entertain various bureaucrats. A pure businessman like Xue Jinhua was not originally included in the invitation list.

However, Mr. Wen also knew that businessmen have always been profit-driven, and they would often do anything to get something for the profit.

Therefore, Xue Jinhua must have come uninvited this time for some benefits.

"Lord Wen, I have long heard of your great name. I heard that Lord Jin will be visiting your house tonight, so I have come here specially to visit you. I hope to have the opportunity to interact more with Lord Jin." After saying that, Xue Jinhua winked at the servant behind him.

The servant understood what he meant and stepped forward quickly, presenting a generous gift with both hands, and said respectfully: "This is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope Lord Wen will accept it. It is not a token of respect."

The servant came over carefully holding a tray of silver and placed it steadily on the table.

Lord Wen was originally sitting upright, but when his eyes fell on the white silver, his eyes instantly widened and gleamed with greed.

"Mr. Lin, you are so polite!" Lord Wen's face was full of smiles. He nodded and bowed hurriedly, his eyes full of desire and joy for the silver.

"Haha, originally this banquet tonight was specially set up to support Master Jin. It would be great if more people could come and participate." Lord Wen said with a smile.

After saying this, Master Wen quickly waved his hand to signal the attendant beside him to take the tray of silver into the inner room, then turned to look at Xue Jinhua standing beside him, and said in a gentle voice: "Master Lin, please come in and take a seat."

At this moment, a crisp sound of horse hooves came from afar, getting closer and closer.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a gorgeously decorated carriage slowly approaching.

When the carriage got closer, in the faint moonlight, you could see a corner of the curtain being gently lifted, and a man wearing a silver mask poked his head out from the carriage.

The mysterious silver mask was sparkling in the darkness, like the bright stars in the night sky, which made people look sideways.

.........

At the same time, in the residence of Gongzi Jin in the Yamen Post Station, a black shadow flashed by silently like a ghost and quickly disappeared into the room...
