Chapter 222

"sure?"

"I saw the man carry her onto the carriage, but I didn't get a clear look at him. However, the Dragon Shadow Guard treated him with utmost respect..."

Lin Bao'er sneered, "That means it's uncertain. Let's investigate first. I don't believe that Yun Xiyue has such great abilities."

“If she has a relationship with the Emperor, then tell Third Brother.”

She won't get involved herself.

Anyway, I have plenty of pieces in my hand.

The legendary healer, known as the "Ghost Hand," left the capital, causing a stir among the people.

But the news that Yun Xiyue was the apprentice of the divine physician spread like wildfire at the same time.

"My lord, is Yun Xiyue really the apprentice of the divine physician?"

Shen Yue put his arm around her and said, "Well, now that Ghost Hand has left the capital, the only way to help you detoxify is to find her."

"So she could have saved me, but she just stood by and watched me die? My lord, she's so cruel to me. I can die, but the child is innocent..." Lin Bao'er cried sadly.

Shen Yue felt very agitated. "Don't cry yet, I'm going to find her."

She had been poisoned by a secret medicine from the Southern Qiang Kingdom, and needed to take the same medicine to fight poison with poison in order to save her life. But this would mean she couldn't save her child.

The poison must be neutralized as soon as possible.

"Yue'er."

Shen Yue scaled the wall and entered the Yun residence, secretly sneaking into Yun Xiyue's boudoir.

"Guards! There's an assassin! Kill him!" Yun Xiyue was so angry that she grabbed a teacup and smashed it on the ground.

Hearing the noise, I thought the people outside would come in.

But to my surprise, there was no sound at all.

He came prepared.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. I just hope you can save the life of the baby in Bao'er's belly."

Yun Xiyue pulled out a dagger and pointed it at him, "If you're sick, go get treatment, don't come here and act crazy!"

“You are the apprentice of the divine physician. Since the divine physician has left the capital, only you can save Bao’er.”

Yun Xiyue sneered, "I don't know how to cure poison, and even if I did, I wouldn't save her."

"Moon, we're divorced now. You're unwilling to save Bao'er because you haven't let go of me?" Shen Yue's eyes were slightly red as he stepped forward. "If you still have feelings for me, we can start over..."

Yun Xiyue laughed and said, "Get lost! Shen Yue, let me tell you. Don't be so arrogant. I don't know how to cure poison. The only way to save your baby is to give her a bowl of abortifacient. If the child is gone, she can survive with the secret medicine of the Southern Qiang Kingdom. Otherwise, she and her unborn child may die in ten months."

"you......"

Just as Shen Yue was about to step forward, the sound of fighting came from outside.

It was the maidservant beside her who woke up earlier.

Thinking that he couldn't make a big fuss, he left.

"If you don't want to marry Lin Huangjin, I'll help you." After saying that, the man jumped out of the window and disappeared.

Bei Ye entered, shouting, "Your subordinate deserves to die!"

"Get up! It's not your fault, it's just that the other side is too cunning."

He and Xiaowei were both stabbed by those people last time, which shows that it's impossible to guard against them.

The defenses need to be strengthened; immediately order the walls to be raised by one battle.

"If you're still injured, go back and rest first," Yun Xiyue said.

Bei Ye, however, refused and went to practice martial arts, feeling that he was too weak and needed to strengthen his training.

Qingmei brought over some food, saying, "Miss, please have something to eat first!"

“The Zhou family has sent people over several times in the past two days. Now that the divine doctor has left, they are even more anxious. They heard that the emperor is going to hold a selection of concubines.”

Yun Xiyue paused, "The Emperor wants to hold a selection of concubines? When?"

"The list of candidates will be drafted and sent to the palace this month, and the candidates selected from other places will enter the palace one after another."

The Zhou family was naturally anxious. Zhou Zhilan could enter the palace through the imperial concubine selection, and as long as the Empress Dowager supported her, she would very likely become the Empress.

But because her face was disfigured, she was unable to enter the palace to participate in the imperial concubine selection.

Let alone disfigurement, even the slightest scar on the body will be scrubbed off.
