An urgent letter that was sent eight or nine days ago? And it was especially urgent? Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi looked at each other in dismay. They were both very uneasy.
Ever since they came to Tianshan Mountain, the Commander-In-Chief's office in Zhongnan had only sent urgent letters. There had never been an especially urgent letter.
What on earth had happened?
In this kind of special period, even if it wasn't urgent, the consequences of delaying it for eight or nine days was unimaginable, let alone an especially urgent letter!
Xu Donglin's expression was very ugly. He had completely forgotten about this matter. If it wasn't for another urgent letter today, he wouldn't have remembered it.
Long Fei Ye's face paled when he read the contents of the letter. He looked at Han Yunxi in shock. "Gu Beiyue …"
Han Yunxi was shocked. "What's wrong?"
"He's been poisoned. He can't stand up even now," Long Fei Ye said truthfully.
"What!"
Han Yunxi couldn't believe her ears. She hurriedly took the letter from Long Fei Ye and read it.
Long Fei Ye wasn't lying. The letter described Gu Beiyue's poisoning. The symptoms of the poisoning were written clearly. Mu Ling 'er wrote a letter to ask for medicine and a poison doctor to treat him.
Han Yunxi seriously read the description of the poisoning symptoms in the letter word by word. Her hands went limp and the letter slowly fell to the ground.
"Zombie ginseng?" Long Fei Ye asked anxiously. The letter described this poison.
Han Yunxi looked at him and didn't say anything for a long time. Her back was already drenched in cold sweat.
Long Fei Ye and Xu Donglin didn't know what "zombie ginseng" was, but Kenzō knew. He was very shocked. "Is it really zombie ginseng? Does such a thing really exist? "
"The diagnosis was made by the people in Medicine Ghost Valley. It shouldn't be wrong," Han Yunxi murmured.
The letter explained the situation in detail. Gu Beiyue's legs had recovered and he could walk freely. However, because of the poison, his legs seemed to be anesthetized and he lost feeling again.
Mu Ling'er immediately thought of Gu, but unfortunately, she couldn't find him. She had no choice but to invite the old housekeeper of the Medicine Ghost Valley. The old housekeeper confirmed that Gu Beiyue was poisoned by the very rare Corpse Ginseng.
The so-called Corpse Ginseng was a poisonous herb. It was a ginseng plant that grew near graves. Its shape was very similar to ginseng, but it was much bigger than ginseng. This kind of poisonous grass grew in dark and rancid soil. Tombs that were invaded by moisture were the most suitable environment for them to grow.
This thing was both medicine and poison.
It was called medicine because it had an anesthetic effect. Han Yunxi remembered that she had read about it in ancient books. Divine Doctor Hua Tuo had used it as an anesthetic.
It was called poison because if a certain amount of it was placed in wine, it would cause paralysis all over the body. The person would lose all feeling in their limbs, and they would become half-dead until they died completely.
Han Yunxi's heart was in a mess. She didn't have time to think about how Gu Beiyue was only poisoned in his legs. The poisoning in his legs was considered a local poisoning. After a long time, the poison would spread to the whole body.
"This poison is highly toxic. It has been eight or nine days. I'm afraid … it's not good." Kenzō said seriously.
Han Yunxi looked at Long Fei Ye. Long Fei Ye was also looking at her. Both of them were stiff and motionless. They only looked at each other with fear and uneasiness.
Although Han Yunxi didn't want to accept what the old Kenzō said, she had to admit that the old Kenzō was right.
Corpse ginseng was highly toxic. If it was a local poisoning, it would only take a day for the poison to spread to the whole body. It had been eight or nine days. Gu Beiyue wasn't just not good. He was definitely dead!
Kenzō's eyes flashed with a complicated look. He didn't say anything else. The room suddenly quieted down, and the air seemed to have frozen. Long Fei Ye's face was very pale. Han Yunxi lowered her head to read the letter in a low voice. It was so quiet that it made people feel uneasy.
Xu Donglin was so frightened that his body didn't listen to him. He couldn't move. After a while, he could barely move. He trembled as he handed over the letter and stammered, "Master, this … this was just, just delivered!"
When he said this, everyone looked over. Long Fei Ye scolded coldly, "Why didn't you take it out earlier!"
Xu Donglin didn't dare to say a word. He presented the letter to Long Fei Ye with trembling hands. Long Fei Ye was calm. He opened the letter and asked, "Is there more?"
"No, no. Just these two, two." Xu Donglin's teeth kept chattering.
Gu Beiyue had been poisoned eight or nine days ago. He had sent a letter asking for help. Why hadn't there been a single letter during this period? Could it be that he couldn't be saved? The other side didn't dare to report it until today …
Han Yunxi didn't dare to think further. She looked at the letter in Long Fei Ye's hand and prayed in her heart that it wasn't bad news.
This was the first time she realized that she was so easily frightened. She had been frightened by Long Fei Ye for the past few days. She couldn't take any more shocks.
She prayed inwardly, but she couldn't wait any longer. When Long Fei Ye opened the letter, she asked, "What does it say? Gu Beiyue, he … "
Long Fei Ye looked at her and exhaled.
"He can still be saved, right? He's still alive, right? "Han Yunxi asked anxiously.
"He's still alive. The poison only started spreading last night." Long Fei Ye sighed in relief. Even he didn't understand why he couldn't bear to see Gu Beiyue, the Shadow Clan's orphan.
Han Yunxi's heart finally settled back into her chest. She was so moved that she wanted to cry!
Of course, she didn't have time to cry, much less rejoice. She immediately took the letter in Long Fei Ye's hand and found that it was written this morning. It explained Gu Beiyue's current situation in detail.
Because they hadn't received a reply, Mu Ling'er went to look for Baili Yuanlong. They didn't know the situation on Celestial Mountain, so they didn't dare to rashly send another letter. Gu Beiyue's poison had been sealed in his leg with acupuncture. In addition, the Medicine Ghost Valley had provided him with some medicine to temporarily slow down the poison's outbreak. That was why he had been able to drag it out for so many days.
But since last night, the poison couldn't be sealed and was showing signs of moving to his upper body.
Gu Beiyue was worried that something would happen on Celestial Mountain, so he didn't allow Mu Ling'er to send another letter to urge him. This letter was secretly delivered by Mu Ling'er.
"Idiot!" Han Yunxi was worried and angry. "He's a doctor. He's simply courting death!"
The Corpse Ginseng's poison didn't just spread from the wound to the entire body. There was also a terrifying phenomenon. Once the Corpse Ginseng's poison stayed in the human body for a long time without being expelled or erupting, the poison would treat the human body as soil and grow the Corpse Ginseng in the organs!
In the end, even if the person died, the corpse would be taken over by the Corpse Ginseng.
If they had used the antidote from the start, they could have completely cured the Corpse Ginseng's poison. But now, the antidote wouldn't be able to completely remove the poison. They had to find blood and use needles to expel the poison.
Han Yunxi didn't dare delay. She immediately took out the antidote from the detoxification system and wrote a letter for Xu Donglin to send back immediately.
As soon as Xu Donglin left, before Han Yunxi could speak, Long Fei Ye asked, "Do you really have to go down the mountain?"
Before coming up the mountain, he had made all sorts of preparations for her to leave. But he hadn't expected that he would be so reluctant and worried when she really needed to leave.
Even if Celestial Mountain hadn't given the medical academy an official reply, the entire world knew that she was a descendant of the Poison Sect! Once she left the mountain, how much blame and rejection would she face? How much trouble and danger would she have to face?
"The antidote can remove seventy percent of the poison. But if the remaining thirty percent isn't expelled, it'll definitely gather in his organs in less than half a month and grow Corpse Poison Grass," Han Yunxi said mildly. "If I don't leave the mountain, he'll die."
Long Fei Ye had just woken up from his serious injuries and was too weak to leave the bed. How could Han Yunxi bear to leave? How could she not worry?
But this was a matter of life and death. She had to be cruel to Long Fei Ye and herself.
Gu Beiyue was her best friend. How could she leave him in the lurch?
Moreover, it wasn't easy to get poisoned by Corpse Ginseng. She suspected that there was a spy by Gu Beiyue's side.
Third, Baili Yuanlong was a military general and didn't know how to play politics. Long Fei Ye had been away from her for so long, but Gu Beiyue had been supporting Baili Yuanlong from the back. Especially now that her identity as a Poison Sect disciple had been exposed, it was Gu Beiyue who had turned the tide and stabilized the situation. If anything happened to Gu Beiyue, Long Fei Ye's current situation would cause internal strife in the south central region.
Whether it was for public or private reasons, Han Yunxi had to leave the mountain as soon as possible to save him.
Long Fei Ye knew these complicated relationships better than Han Yunxi did.
He hid his reluctance in his heart and said calmly without hesitation, "I'll immediately arrange for you to leave the mountain in secret. Tell the outside world that Celestial Mountain is still investigating you and won't let you leave until the matter is clear."
"Alright!" Han Yunxi hesitated.
"There's only one way down the mountain, and you'll leave tonight. Have the Shadow Guard pick you up at the foot of the mountain, "Long Fei Ye said.
"Mm." Han Yunxi was very obedient.
The two looked at each other and didn't say anything else. When night fell, Han Yunxi packed her things. Before she left, she said to Long Fei Ye, "Recuperate well. Once the poison is cured, I'll be back."
"Mm." Long Fei Ye was very obedient.
Han Yunxi was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm leaving, so you don't have to send me off. Wait for me to come back. Can you pick me up at the foot of the mountain? "
Long Fei Ye didn't reply immediately. He stared at her for a long time before finally replying, "Alright."
"Then I'm leaving!"
Han Yunxi said. The old Kenzō and Xu Donglin had been waiting outside for a long time.
"Mm." Long Fei Ye nodded.
Han Yunxi looked like she still wanted to say something, but in the end, she bit her lip and turned to leave. Just as she reached the door, Long Fei Ye called out, "Han Yunxi …"
Han Yunxi immediately stopped, but she didn't turn back. She waited for a long time, but Long Fei Ye didn't say anything.
Finally, she turned back. "Is there anything else?"
He smiled. "Why don't … This Prince go down the mountain with you?"
She smiled back. "Sure, then I'll help you pack up. Let's go together."
"Okay." He agreed happily.
However, she didn't move. They both knew that this was just a joke. He had to recuperate, so he couldn't go down the mountain.
"Long Fei Ye, goodbye!" Han Yunxi became serious.
Long Fei Ye didn't say anything. He waved his hand, indicating for her to leave quickly.
This time, Han Yunxi didn't turn back, and Long Fei Ye didn't ask her to stay either. Creak. The door closed, and the two of them couldn't see each other again.
They were separated by life and death, and they didn't even have time to say a few words. How could they be separated so quickly?
Han Yunxi's clear eyes glistened with tears under the moonlight. "Shizun, let's go!"
Under the old Kenzō's arrangements, several imperial bodyguards and Xu Donglin escorted Han Yunxi down the mountain secretly. However, she didn't expect that there was a group of people waiting for her at the foot of the mountain!
