Wu Qinghe was stunned when he heard Li Xia’s words.

That’s right. Ever since he was born, other than his mentor, Shu Ruyue was the only person who had protected him with her life. Thinking of this, Wu Qinghe immediately perked up.

“I’ll pull myself together!”

With that, Wu Qinghe looked down at the woman in his arms.

“Shu Ruyue, you have to hold on. After you see Brother Luo Cheng, you’ll be saved! Other than my mentor, you’re the person who treats me the best. Please, you have to survive! If you die, there’ll be one less person in this world who treats me well! ”

Shu Ruyue, who was delirious, almost laughed in anger when she heard Wu Qinghe’s words.

However, she only stayed conscious for a moment before falling unconscious again.

However, the moment before she fainted, Shu Ruyue had already made up her mind.

After she woke up, she would definitely teach Wu Qinghe a lesson. What did he mean by there being one less person who treated him well if she died?

After all, she was his savior!

Shouldn’t he repay her for saving his life?

He was just a blockhead who didn’t know the ways of the world. No wonder he had been unlucky all his life!

Li Xiaoran was playing with Big Yellow at home.

It was rare for them to have a free day, so Li Xiaoran brought Big Yellow and the others for a stroll around the house.

When she threw out a sandbag she had made from rags for the pups at home to pick up, she suddenly sensed anxiety from someone.

Compared to the other anxiety she sensed, there was also a very weak emotion, as if the person was on the verge of death.

Li Xiaoran sensed that something was wrong, so she quickly ran home.

When Big Yellow and the others saw Li Xiaoran running home, they thought that Li Xiaoran was playing a game with them and ran after her excitedly.

When Luo Cheng happened to walk from the house to the courtyard, he saw Li Xiaoran running with a group of pups.

“What’s wrong? You’re panting from running. Did something happen?”

“Husband, someone is approaching us. I sensed anxiety and a faint emotion, which is usually when people can’t hold on anymore!” Li Xiaoran stopped and panted as she told Luo Cheng what she had sensed.

When Luo Cheng heard this, he pondered for a moment and then thought of something.

“Speaking of which, it’s almost time for Wu Qinghe, Zi Zheng, and Zi Cheng to return. Could it be that some of them are seriously injured?!”

Thinking of this, Luo Cheng quickly called the secret guard to call Luo Ziyang back. Then, Luo Cheng went to make preparations.

When Wu Qinghe arrived with Shu Ruyue, who was severely injured, Luo Cheng was already prepared.

Seeing that Shu Ruyue wasn’t in a good state, Luo Cheng asked what was going on and asked someone to carry her to a tidied room.

Wu Qinghe was already panicking, so he couldn’t be expected to explain clearly.

Just as Zi Zheng was about to speak, Li Xia, who had followed him in, spoke.

“Miss Ruyue took a stab for Wu Qinghe, but the knife’s tip was poisoned. Miss Ruyue has been unconscious for 24 hours. The wound was purple-black at first, but later on, it slowly faded. When I looked at it just now, the wound had already turned red. When the wound was treated, the blood was originally bright red, but after flowing out of the wound, it turned dark red. Later on, when we stopped the bleeding, there was still blood flowing out, but the small amount of blood flowing out was purple-black!”

When Luo Cheng heard this, he thought for a moment and asked, “Do you know when the blood started turning purple-black?!”

Li Xia recalled carefully and said, “At around five o’clock today! I just woke up at that time and saw that Miss Ruyue’s white cloth was dyed black by purplish-red blood. It was bright red before that!”

This time, Luo Cheng already knew what to do.

Li Xia thought of something and added, “By the way, there’s another problem. Miss Ruyue’s body has been cold the entire time, as if she had been soaked in water for a few days!”

Luo Cheng’s expression changed when he heard this.

“Wife, take a look with Li Xia and see if there’s a purplish-red pattern on Miss Ruyue’s back! ”

When Li Xiaoran and Li Xia heard this, they quickly turned Shu Ruyue over and lifted the clothes on her back to take a look.

Sure enough, on Shu Ruyue’s back, a blooming peony pattern appeared in front of them.

“Husband, you’re right. There’s really a blooming peony!” Li Xiaoran’s expression turned solemn as she replied.

“It’s indeed a poisonous peony! Ziyang, feed this antidote pill to Shu Ruyue with warm water first. I’ll be back soon!” As Luo Cheng spoke, he took a pill to Ziyang and turned to go to the place where he made medicine.

When Wu Qinghe saw Luo Cheng leave, he immediately became a little anxious.

“Brother Luo Cheng, how is Shu Ruyue?”

Luo Ziyang asked Zi Cheng to bring warm water over and melt the pill in it.

Li Xia walked over and said, “You guys are all men, so let me do it!”

Luo Ziyang nodded and gave the bowl of potion to Li Xia.

After Wu Qinghe was also chased to the side by Li Xiaoran, Li Xiaoran went over and helped Shu Ruyue up before leaning Shu Ruyue on her.

Just like that, the two of them fed Wen Ruyue the bowl of medicine together.

“What’s going on now?” Wu Qinghe was about to go crazy.

“Alright, stop howling! Although this antidote pill can’t detoxify the poison of the peony, it can protect Miss Shu’s heart meridians and prevent her from being poisoned by the poisonous gas. Brother has gone to develop an antidote. We need time now!” Luo Cheng revealed what he knew.

“What? There’s no antidote?” Wu Qinghe panicked. At this moment, he glanced at Shu Ruyue uneasily.

“Do you know what poisonous peony is? This is the sixth-ranked poison among the seven great poisons. Don’t underestimate it. Although it’s ranked sixth, it’s the only one among the seven great poisons without an antidote. The other great poisons either take effect too quickly and there’s no time to treat it, or the herbs needed for the antidote are very rare.” Luo Ziyang immediately explained when he heard Wu Qinghe’s words.

When Li Xiaoran and Wu Xia heard this, they were shocked.

They didn’t expect Shu Ruyue to be poisoned by this kind of poison. “In that case, Ruyue’s poison can’t be detoxed?” Li Xiaoran asked with a frown.

“Don’t worry! All these years, my brother has been marinating the antidote for the poisonous peony. Although he hasn’t found an antidote for the poisonous peony, he has made good progress. Let’s give him more time!” Luo Ziyang said..
