Chapter 560 The truth behind the injury
Chapter 560 The truth behind the injury
The maid lowered her head, making it difficult to see her expression, but her figure seemed familiar to Murong Yanhui. He calmed himself down and thought that he must have missed Lili too much recently, so he actually mistook this maid for Lili.
Queen Mother Qin didn't sober up after being stopped. Instead, she became even more angry. She shook Qing Luan's hand away. "Good! Very good! You are all very good. Now one by one, you are rebelling against me. Are you planning to rebel?"
Qing Luan quickly knelt on the ground, "Queen Dowager, please calm down. I know I was wrong!"
Murong Yanhui stood up, staring at the Queen Mother's face with a somewhat cold gaze, and said after a while: "Mother, please go first. I really don't have the energy to deal with you today!"
"you you you……"
Murong Yanhui ignored her and just waved his hand and ordered: "Qingjiu, show the guest out!"
Murong Yanhui's attitude at this time was as if he was treating an unrelated outsider, without any intimacy or respect.
Qingluan sighed inwardly, the Queen Mother had completely hurt the Prince's heart this time, what should she do now?
"Okay! Since you dislike me so much, then I don't have to suffer here. However, don't try to stop me from making a decision!"
Murong Yanhui closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them again, there was indifference in her eyes. The little warmth she had in her eyes had already disappeared. The cold gaze startled the empress dowager.
"Your son will accompany you to the end!"
Murong Yanhui's tone was so resolute that Queen Dowager Qin actually felt a little afraid.
"Your Highness, please don't say such angry words. After all, this is between mother and son. Why must they be so tense?" Qingluan intended to be a peacemaker.
"shut up!"
It was the Queen Mother who stopped Qing Luan. Her eyes were cold and without any warmth. She only raised her head slightly to look at Murong Yan and said, "I will ask you again, do you really want to go against me?"
"It's not that I want to go against my mother! I am forced by the situation and have no choice!"
Queen Mother Qin sneered, "Now that things have come to this, if I continue to force you, wouldn't it make me, Qin Wan, seem inferior? Well, Murong Yanhui, just wait. I will naturally find a way to make you help me willingly!"
Queen Mother Qin finished speaking and ordered Qing Luan, "Go back to the palace!"
Qing Luan looked at Murong Yanhui with a complicated expression, but didn't say anything else. One was the master she swore to follow until death, and the other was the little master she had taken care of since childhood. She was really torn between the two!
Qingluan sighed inwardly, wondering why they always quarreled whenever they met.
Queen Mother Qin had already left the main hall, and Qing Luan followed closely behind. Murong Yanhui did not go out to see her off, but only fixed his eyes on the two maids in the room. He wondered who they were. When they rushed over just now, he even thought they were Yu Qingli.
"What's your name? Are you hurt?"
Murong Yanhui was rarely gentle. No matter what, the maid had just protected him from danger. Even though the teacup was nothing to him, this sincerity still made him very happy.
As soon as Murong Yanhui finished speaking, she saw the maid in front of her raise her head. She had a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, and her bright eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky. Her long eyelashes were even visible, slightly curled, but at this moment they were trembling with anger.
Yes, anger. Murong Yanhui thought he had seen it wrong at first, but then he found out for sure that the maid in front of him was angry. The fire rising from her beautiful eyes made her look particularly lively.
Murong Yanhui was stunned for a moment. This time, he didn't feel that it was just an illusion. The maid in front of him was clearly the sweetheart he had been thinking about day and night.
"Lili? Are you Lili?"
Yu Qingli's eyes were full of fire. She was really angry at this moment. She was angry that Murong Yanhui did not take good care of herself. Even if she was her mother, she could not allow the other party to bully her like this.
"Murong Yanhui! What on earth are you hiding from me? You clearly know that I hate being deceived the most, yet you still..."
Before Yu Qingli could finish her words, Murong Yanhui, who had been beaming with joy, suddenly fell to the side. Yu Qingli quickly stepped forward to support him, and asked in panic, "What on earth is going on?"
Qingjiu, still unable to comprehend the situation, stood there in amazement. Xiluo, standing beside him, shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Quickly move the prince to the couch!"
Yu Qingli asked, "Where's Changkong? Where is he? I have questions for him!"
Qingjiu finally came back to his senses and stammered, "You, you are Miss Yu!"
"I'm Yu Qingli, go find someone!"
Although Qingjiu couldn't figure out how the two ordinary fire-making maids suddenly became the eldest daughter of the Yu family and Xiluo, he also knew that the situation was urgent, so he quickly ordered the servants waiting outside to find Changkong, and then helped Yu Qingli and the others move Murong Yan back to the couch.
Yu Qingli took Murong Yanhui's pulse and her brows furrowed even more. His pulse was very disordered. It had not improved compared to when he was at Jinxiu Villa, but had become even more serious. No wonder he looked so haggard.
Changkong was quite fast and arrived at the hall in a short time. He was not too surprised to see Yu Qingli and the others. He just stood respectfully aside, waiting for Yu Qingli's instructions.
Seeing Changkong coming over, Yu Qingli didn't delay and went straight to the point: "Changkong, what happened to the prince's injury?"
Changkong remained silent. Xiluo nudged him and said, "You piece of shit! Why didn't you answer the young lady's question? Are you trying to drive us crazy?"
Changkong then sighed, "Actually, it's the master's wound..."
Before Changkong could finish speaking, Yu Qingli tore open Murong Yanhui's clothes. Her chest was wrapped in thick bandages, and the area where the bandages were was already stained with blood.
Yu Qingli was extremely surprised and only ordered: "Qingjiu, go prepare some medicine and clean bandages!"
Qingjiu hurried downstairs to prepare, while Yu Qingli directly untied the thick bandage.
There was a bloody mess under the bandage, and the location of the wound was even more horrific. The wound that should have healed now looked like a gaping mouth, which was frightening to look at. What was originally just a small arrow wound had now begun to erode into the size of a palm, and judging from the current situation, it seemed to be continuing to spread.
Yu Qingli was shocked and distressed. She looked at Changkong with a questioning look, "Is this how his wound looked like after he came back from Jinxiu Villa that day?"
Changkong didn't dare to hide it and just nodded.
Yu Qingli continued to speculate: "Could it be that the arrow is poisonous?"
"It's Bone-Eroding Powder!"
"Since you know what the poison is, why don't you help him get rid of it?"
"It's not that I don't want to use an antidote, it's just that I have no other choice. Although I've seen many poisons before, I've only heard of this Bone-Eroding Powder. As for the antidote, I have no idea."
"Why didn't you tell me? Maybe that blood jade toad can be useful!"
Changkong shook his head. "We've tried it since the prince realized he was poisoned, and the result..."
"How could this happen? Is that why you wanted Xiluo to sneak into the Bai family?"
Yu Qingli looked at Xiluo, "You also know about this?"
Xiluo shook her head. She didn’t know about this. In fact, if she knew, she might not have waited for the Bai family to propose marriage but would have taken the initiative to contact the Bai family.
"Bone-Eroding Powder, Bone-Eroding Powder? Changkong, tell me everything you know."
"I've heard that this Bone-Eroding Powder is an extremely vicious poison. Anyone poisoned won't feel anything at the time, but once a wound appears on the body, it will begin to rot from the wound. This will take a total of 49 days, and eventually the whole body will fester and die."
A memory suddenly emerged in Yu Qingli's mind. When she went to the Western Regions with Murong Feng, she had seen this kind of poisoning. At that time, she didn't care, but just felt that such poison was too disgusting.
She tried hard to recall the scene, but could only remember the miserable state of the poisoned person. When they saw that person, it had been forty days since he had been poisoned. Except for the skin on his face which was still intact, his entire body had rotted away, and he looked like a corpse that had been buried in the soil for a long time.
Countless reptiles began to drill into the man's body, and the people around him urged his family to kill him! Yu Qingli still vividly remembered that horrific scene, but at that time she only felt sympathy because the other person was an insignificant passerby. But now, the person who was poisoned was Murong Yanhui.
Yu Qingli could hardly imagine how a proud man like Murong Yanhui could tolerate himself becoming that kind of person. She was afraid that he would draw his sword and commit suicide before he could no longer move.
At this moment, Yu Qingli felt her nose getting sore and her eyes starting to feel hot. She even had the urge to burst into tears. Why was this happening? In this life, she had finally met a man who treated her sincerely, but why did God play such a joke on him?
Yu Qingli tried hard to control her emotions, but her eyes were already red. If you look closely, you can see tears in her eyes, which look charming under the cover of her eyelashes.
"Miss, what should we do now?"
Xiluo was also extremely nervous when she heard this. As her first master, the prince was quite nice to them. They were orphans and were captured and brought to the building to be trained as killers since they were young. Before they met the prince, they were not even considered human beings. They were just machines used to kill people.
Xiluo is grateful to King Yan, especially because she is luckier than others to follow Yu Qingli and become a real flesh-and-blood person.
Yu Qingli pursed her lips tightly, and when she spoke again, her voice was a little hoarse.
"I heard that Murong Yanhui has a master. Does he know about this? Is there any solution?"
Changkong shook his head. "Although the master's medical skills are excellent, it seems that he has only heard a little about it. Now he can only find a medicine to delay the onset of the poison."
"How long can it be delayed?"
"Three months!"
"Has the prince already used this medicine?"
Changkong nodded, and Xiluo said with some confusion: "In that case, why not just keep taking this medicine until we can find an antidote?
