The weakening of Bai Yanqing's breath made Han Yunxi's heart clench. Gu Beiyue's brows were tightly knitted and he didn't make a sound.
What was more hurtful than disappointment was when hope was followed by disappointment. That was called despair.
The room was silent. Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue could feel that Bai Yanqing's pulse was weakening bit by bit, and it couldn't stop.
Gu had already stood up. Standing in front of them was still that smiling face and those smiling eyes. Long Fei Ye's consciousness fell on his hand, the hand that was hidden by his sleeve.
A heavy, hopeless atmosphere filled the entire prison cell. The air seemed to have weight, making it hard to breathe.
"It's stopped!"
Suddenly, Gu Beiyue exclaimed.
Han Yunxi didn't say anything, but the shocked expression on her face said it all.
Yes!
Bai Yanqing's pulse had stopped!
"No …" Gu Beiyue's hand loosened and he felt weak. If they didn't find a solution, Gu would be in great danger.
Because, because there was something wrong with his hand!
"It can't be! The records on the altar won't lie! The antidote is the antidote, how could it kill? "
Han Yunxi stubbornly pressed on Bai Yanqing's pulse, refusing to believe it.
"Alright, Poison Girl, if worse comes to worst, Qi Brother …"
Before Gu could finish his sentence, Han Yunxi suddenly exclaimed, "His pulse is back! Gu Beiyue, look! His pulse is back! "
Gu Beiyue was in disbelief. He hurriedly grabbed Bai Yanqing's hand and felt his pulse. He really found that Bai Yanqing's pulse had recovered!
Although it was still very weak, there was indeed a pulse!
Finally, Gu became nervous. This time, he carefully checked Bai Yanqing's breathing. The result was, "He's still breathing!"
"He's not dead! He's not dead! "Han Yunxi looked at Gu excitedly.
Gu couldn't help but laugh when he saw her dumbfounded expression.
"Princess, the pulse has changed." Gu Beiyue became serious. Han Yunxi didn't dare to be careless. She checked his pulse carefully and immediately noticed that Bai Yanqing's pulse had indeed changed. It was no different from a normal person's.
Moreover, through his pulse, they could tell that Bai Yanqing had suffered a very serious internal injury. His body was covered with injuries and his blood loss was very serious. If they didn't save him, he would really die.
"Normal?" Gu asked nervously.
"Are you nervous now?" Han Yunxi asked seriously.
Only then did Gu realize that he was nervous … He wanted to give Poison lass a smile but he couldn't.
Of course … he would be nervous!
Because he really, really wanted to grow old with them!
"Seventh Young Master, take his blood. Just a small amount will do," Gu Beiyue said seriously. "I'll go get some pills for him first, just in case. Princess, I'll leave this to you. "
If Bai Yanqing lost his undying body, judging from his injuries, he would be half-dead even if he didn't die.
Gu was very careful when he took the blood. He didn't dare take too much, for fear that he would accidentally kill Bai Yanqing.
Gu Beiyue brought some pills back and fed them to Bai Yanqing. He then helped treat his wounds before heaving a sigh of relief and revealing a warm and clean smile.
"The white bottle contains the original poisoned blood, and the red bottle contains the current normal blood." Gu handed the blood sample to him.
If they had modern equipment, they would be able to quickly detect the difference between the two blood samples. However, even without modern equipment, Han Yunxi believed that Gu Beiyue would be able to figure out the difference.
The poisonous teardrop medicine was made from a mixture of Perplexing Butterfly Illusion and Myriad Poisons, while Perplexing Butterfly Illusion was made from the residue of forty-nine different poisonous herbs.
In that case, could the antidote to Seventh Young Master's undying body be related to the medicines he had taken since he was young?
If they could find all the herbs Seventh Young Master had taken and use the residue of these herbs as medicine, would they be able to break Seventh Young Master's undying body?
There was only one set of poisonous teardrop medicine, so they couldn't experiment with it on the vines. However, Seventh Young Master's medicine wasn't unique, so they could experiment repeatedly on his vines.
With Gu Beiyue's medical skills and Gu's pharmaceutical skills, they would definitely be able to find the antidote as long as their hypothesis was correct!
"Princess, the next step is to find the medicine!" Gu Beiyue said seriously.
"Right! Finding the medicine and the catalyst! This is Seventh Young Master's specialty! "Han Yunxi was clearly in a much better mood.
Gu was also in a good mood. "Done, leave that prescription to me."
"Do you need Ling 'er's help?" Han Yunxi asked again.
Gu shook his head just like last time.
Han Yunxi shrugged and didn't say anything else.
They walked out of the prison and Long Fei Ye personally locked the door. Bai Yanqing's undying body had been broken. With his current injuries and stamina, he wouldn't be able to escape this prison no matter how good his martial arts were. Moreover, Bai Yanqing's martial arts weren't top-notch.
Han Yunxi glanced back at Bai Yanqing one last time, a trace of mockery flashing through her eyes.
She wanted to wait for Bai Yanqing to wake up and find out that his undying body had been broken. She wanted him to despair! Without the protection of his undying body, forget about his other injuries, even his teeth would never recover!
After leaving the prison, Gu grumbled about going to the Medicine Ghost Valley to find medicine immediately.
"You can just write a prescription and have someone send it over. Why do you have to go by yourself?" Han Yunxi asked seriously.
Finding medicine was one thing, but Gu still had to cooperate with Gu Beiyue for a blood analysis and various tests.
"There are a few herbs on the list that only I can pick. I'll be leaving this afternoon and will be back within ten days, "Gu said seriously.
Han Yunxi raised her brows at him and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Long Fei Ye asked, "What, are you afraid of dying?"
"If I can recover, of course I have to recover as soon as possible. Poison Lass, you have to promise me that you'll keep this a secret forever. Don't let that crybaby Mu Ling'er find out. Otherwise, she'll annoy me to death!"
As Gu spoke, his gaze landed on Han Yunxi's bulging belly. He chuckled and said, "Don't tell this little brat in the future either. Otherwise, he'll be afraid of me and won't be close to me."
With the topic changed, Han Yunxi didn't think too much about it.
"Princess, don't worry about the pregnancy. After such a long delay, His Highness should be returning to the army. Leave this matter to this subordinate, don't worry, "Gu Beiyue said seriously.
If it were anyone else, Han Yunxi would definitely be worried. However, since Gu Beiyue had already said so, what else was there for her to be worried about?
She couldn't even do this herself. Only Gu Beiyue and Gu could do it. Although Long Fei Ye didn't say it, she knew that Long Fei Ye had to return to the army as soon as possible. The four regions of the world weren't truly peaceful yet!
Gu would be leaving in the afternoon. Gu Beiyue had to hurry and analyze the blood samples before they dried up. Han Yunxi hesitated, then said, "Then let's leave in the afternoon as well. We'll be going the same way."
The journey from Medicine City to Tianning's barracks was east, and so was the journey to Pill Fiend Valley. The roads were interconnected for about a day before they parted ways, one to the east and one to the south.
Gu Beiyue seemed to want to say something, but a complicated look flitted past his eyes before he held himself back.
With the princess's intelligence, she'd be suspicious if he said too much. It's only a day, so let the Seventh Young Master do as he pleases.
Gu, on the other hand, was overjoyed. "What do you want to eat? Qi Brother will prepare it!"
Long Fei Ye laughed bitterly in his heart. He actually allowed Gu to treat Han Yunxi so well. He was crazy!
"No need!" Han Yunxi refused again. "Look at the list of ingredients clearly. Don't make a mistake! Also, have Xu Donglin find the ingredients you need from Medicine City. I'll lend Xu Donglin to you guys for now. "
Xu Donglin was Long Fei Ye's personal bodyguard. He represented Long Fei Ye in many situations and had great authority.
Han Yunxi kept Xu Donglin for two reasons. One, to make things convenient for Gu Beiyue and the rest. Two, to have Xu Donglin report back to her at all times.
After making all the arrangements, Gu was the first to slip away. Only the heavens knew where he was going. Han Yunxi discovered that her hand was a bit swollen. She didn't tell Long Fei Ye and went to find Fourth Young Miss Ren herself.
Long Fei Ye went to Gu Beiyue's study the moment she left.
He went straight to the point and asked Coldly, "What's wrong with Gu?"
Gu Beiyue was slightly taken aback, but he quickly smiled helplessly.
There were many things that could be hidden from the clever and quick-witted princess, but they could not be hidden from His Highness' sharp eyes.
"We don't know the situation yet. If we travel together this afternoon, Your Highness should take a look at his arm. His flesh is being corroded by the roots of the thorny vines. " Gu Beiyue said seriously, "If we can quickly concoct the antidote and break his undying body, this situation should be resolved. I'm just afraid that if we can't concoct the antidote in time, Seventh Young Master's body … "
"Will he completely become the food of the thorny vines?" Long Fei Ye asked.
Although Gu Beiyue didn't want to admit it, he still nodded. "Yes!"
Long Fei Ye frowned and remained silent for a while. He didn't say anything, but sighed heavily.
There was no doubt that his heart was stifled.
"Your Highness, Seventh Young Master doesn't want the princess to know about this. She's pregnant, so it's not good for her to be too sad, "Gu Beiyue said seriously.
"I know," Long Fei Ye said indifferently.
"How long will it take to find the medicine on the list?" Long Fei Ye asked seriously. If he guessed correctly, Gu didn't want to go to Medicine Ghost Valley to find the medicine at all. Instead, he wanted them to return to the army as soon as possible.
"I spent the entire night with Seventh Young Master last night. There are ten medicines that are extremely difficult to find, and they can't be found in Medicine Ghost Valley. I've already sent them to the King Of Medicine, so we should get a reply as soon as tonight," Gu Beiyue said seriously.
"Ten medicines …" Long Fei Ye was very surprised. Ten medicines wasn't a small number!
"Your Highness, these ten medicines aren't the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that Seventh Young Master took two types of plague poisons when he was young. They were concocted by Gu Yuntian using the blood of plague victims. Concocting these two poisons is even more troublesome than finding the ten medicines. "Gu Beiyue's tone became serious.
The so-called poison was a type of medicine concocted using the blood essence of the victims. Normal people would suffer the same symptoms as the victims after taking it.
It wasn't easy to find all these medicines, and even if they did, it might not be enough to save Seventh Young Master. After all, finding these medicines was only the first step!
"We're not leaving!" Long Fei Ye said.
Gu Beiyue was shocked. "Your Highness, please reconsider!"
