When Tao Yi Xuan woke up, he was already in bed.
His whole body was still in pain, but the feeling of his spiritual energy being blocked had already disappeared. He immediately checked and found that the pain was normal.
'Does this mean that my poison has been cured?!'
He moved a little, and his whole body was in pain. He thought that the process of detoxification was even worse than being poisoned.
Hearing voices outside, he sat up slowly. Before he could get off the bed, he heard the door open and Sima Youyue's voice came from the door.
"If I were you, I'd lie down. Otherwise, there will be no medicine for regret if there are any side effects. "
Tao Yi Xuan also knew that his body's condition wasn't very good, so he obediently laid back down.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
"Not long, just three or four days." Sima Youyue walked over and checked his pulse. "The poison has been cleared."
"Why is the detoxification process so painful?" Tao Yi Xuan asked.
"Your body shrank when you were poisoned. Now that you've been detoxified, it's only natural that your body will grow back. There was a process for the body to grow from small to big. You're lucky that you met me. Otherwise, you'd die from the pain even if you got the antidote. "Sima Youyue said," But you look better when you're young. "
"…" Tao Yi Xuan felt as if he had been teased. "We're in Great Master Ji's courtyard now?"
"Yes."
"No one in the clan knows, right?" He asked worriedly.
"Even if you don't believe him, you should believe me. I still need to discuss poison techniques with him, so you should rest here. You will be able to get out of bed in two days. "Sima Youyue took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth. She then stood up and left.
Tao Yi Xuan was a little annoyed. He didn't know if Sima Youyue was angry or not. He also knew that there was no need for him to ask this question. If someone knew, would he still be able to wake up? He was probably killed while he was unconscious.
However, he had asked that question out of the blue, and it had made her unhappy.
Sigh …
Sima Youyue left the room. In fact, she was not angry, but she felt that she had nothing to say to him. Moreover, they were discussing poison in the courtyard just now. She came in when she heard him wake up. Now that they were done, she had to go out.
"How is he?" Great Master Ji asked.
"Old Ji, your Poison of Hundred Insects and Herbs is much more powerful than mine. This detoxification process is really good." Sima Youyue returned to her seat.
"You're the one who's more powerful than me." Great Master Ji said, "If my poison was used on you, it wouldn't work. But you poisoned me. "
"I was just lucky." Sima Youyue said, "My advantage is that I'm young and have a disguise. You don't know me well, but I know you. In that case, there's no comparison at all. "
"Alright, let's stop flattering each other. Why don't you take a look at how to cure this poison? "Great Master Ji said as he pushed a piece of paper in front of her.
For the past two days, the two of them had been playing this kind of game. One of them would take out the raw materials of the poison without saying the amount and refining method, and then let the other guess and give the corresponding antidote.
Most of the time, it was Great Master Ji who gave it, and Sima Youyue would guess. Although it wasn't 100% accurate, it was 90% accurate. And every time Sima Youyue gave him the raw materials, Great Master Ji would take a long time to study them.
It wasn't that his poison skills weren't good, but because the materials that Sima Youyue took out were all very rare or tricky. However, Great Master Ji didn't care that he was inferior to her. Every time he saw Sima Youyue's recipe, he would be very excited.
The two of them played like this for two days and still couldn't get enough of it.
Sima Youyue picked up the paper and looked at it. She didn't answer immediately, but placed it on the table and lightly tapped on the paper with her right hand.
"Old Ji, you should know about Tao Yi Xuan's situation and what I want to do, right?" She asked.
"I know. So what?"
"Haven't you thought of telling Family Head Tao and the others?"
Great Master Ji rolled his eyes and said, "Why should I tell them?"
"Aren't you guys together?"
"Who said that I'm with them?"
Sima Youyue was stunned. Could it be that they weren't?
"Their surname is Tao and my surname is Ji. I'm not from their family. I'm not even a guest official. I'm just making a deal with them. They provide me with a quiet life and I provide them with some poison. That's all. I don't participate in the power struggle between them, so of course I don't belong to any faction. "Great Master Ji said. "If I can stay here, then I'll stay. If I can't, then I'll leave. It's not like I'm begging them. "
"…"
Sima Youyue didn't think that they had this kind of relationship.
"Then do you know who wanted this Hundred Worms and Hundred Herbs Poison back then?" She asked.
"I don't know. I only know that the person who came had the Family Head's waist token. I've always only recognized the waist token and not the person, so I didn't pay attention to the people in the family. So even though I didn't know him, I still gave him the poison. "Great Master Ji knew that she wanted to ask about what happened back then, so he told her everything he knew.
He had the Family Head's waist token? If it wasn't him, then he must have a good relationship with him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get the waist token.
"Youyue, since we're going to chat, shouldn't there be good wine, dishes, desserts and fruits?" Great Master Ji asked.
He ate the food she made yesterday and was craving it again today.
Sima Youyue looked at him and knew that if she wanted to get more information out of him, she had to satisfy him first. Thus, she didn't ask any more questions. She got up and prepared four dishes, a pot of wine and a plate of spirit fruits.
Great Master Ji ate a heartless fruit first. Even though he was poisoned by it, it didn't stop him from falling in love with it.
Sima Youyue sat back down and poured a cup of wine for Great Master Ji. Then, she poured another cup for herself before asking, "You know about the poison, but what about the antidote? Was it given together? Or was it given later? "
"The Family Head personally came to take the poison." Great Master Ji took a sip of wine, "At that time, I was still asking why he took so long to get the antidote. He said, 'I forgot.' His expression was a little unnatural. Even though I could tell, I said that I wouldn't interfere with the Gu Family's matters, so I didn't ask too much and gave him the antidote. Later on, I heard that the Young Master had been plotted against by someone and had already escaped for a long time. "
When Sima Youyue heard this, she could already roughly guess what had happened. The person who had poisoned him shouldn't have been Tao Yi Xuan's father. Thinking about it, he should have felt a little comforted. However, his father had still been willing to participate in the plot. As for what part, she didn't know.
As for the mastermind behind it, it should have been someone Family Head Tao wanted to protect. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the blame.
There were only a few people who hated Tao Yi Xuan to the bone and wanted to get rid of him. However, there weren't many people who could make Family Head Tao protect him like this.
