The white jade bed and the ice silk quilt.
Just these two cold type treasures were enough to freeze an ordinary person.
But Chu Yueqi's body was still red and her body temperature was rising, as if her blood was burning.
This was the blood fire poison that the Chu family could do nothing about!
"I see. This is the blood fire poison."
The moment he saw Chu Yueqi, Chen Xiao's guess was confirmed.
The Blood Fire Poison was simply too rare. Even those famous doctors and divine doctors had only read about it in ancient books.
In the entire Cloud Sea Empire, one might not even be able to find a single person who had actually seen the Blood Fire Poison.
"The reason why the blood fire poison is so hard to deal with is not only because of its strong toxicity, but also because … it is a curse!"
The power of the curse had seeped into every inch of Chu Yueqi's body.
Flesh and blood were its nutrients, and the poison was its product.
Once it could not be suppressed, the curse would ignite the flesh and blood, and the poisoned person would die on the spot.
If the poison was removed directly, it would stimulate the curse, and it would produce a large amount of new poison!
"The cold nature of the Polar Snow Lotus is secondary. The most important thing is the Frost Essence within it."
The Frost Essence had the effect of exorcising evil, and it had the power to restrain many curses.
Once the curse was dispelled, the rest of the fire poison could be easily removed with some common medicines.
Chen Xiao was clear about this. "But the Frost Essence is extremely rare. The Snowy Lotus must be more than five hundred years old to produce a single strand."
Chen Xiao did not know if the Lin family knew about this.
However, he had heard that the Polar Snow Lotus of the Lin family was only 300 years old.
This meant …
Even if the Chu family paid a huge price to get the Snowy Lotus from the Lin family, Chu Yueqi would still die!
"The Polar Snow Lotus can't save her life."
Chen Xiao's first words gave Chu Yanxun and his wife a great fright.
Almost every famous doctor said that to save a life, one must rely on the Snowy Lotus.
But Chen Xiao suddenly said that the Snowy Lotus could not save Chu Yueqi?
These words were equivalent to sentencing Chu Yueqi to death!
"Miracle Doctor Chen, you have to save Yue Qi —" Chu Lerong burst into tears.
"Let me finish first."
Chen Xiao laughed in spite of himself and shook his head. He raised his hand and pointed at himself. "The Lin family's Snow Lotus isn't old enough, so its medicinal effects aren't strong enough. It can't save Chu Yueqi's life."
"But … I can!"
With the wonders of the Primeval True Essence, swallowing a mere curse was naturally a piece of cake.
However, he had suffered serious injuries in the turbulent flow of space, so he couldn't use too much energy.
Therefore, he still needed to concoct some medicine to protect Chu Yueqi's flesh and meridians so that she wouldn't be injured while dispelling the poison.
Chu Yanxun and his wife heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.
Following that, Chen Xiao listed out a series of medicines. A portion of it was for Chu Yueqi to remove the poison, while another portion was for Chu Wanqing's treatment. As for the rest, he used it to heal himself.
He hadn't received any payment for treating the two ladies of the Chu Clan. These healing medicines could be considered as repayment.
It was as Chen Xiao expected.
After the two looked at the list, they quickly agreed.
"Although these medicines are precious, the Chu Clan has some in storage. Only a few of them need to be purchased from the outside world … But, at most, one day! Within one day, we will send all the medicines over. "
Although the medicines on the list were expensive, there was still hope.
As for the Lin family's Snow Lotus, there was no hope at all!
"Apart from that, the matter of treating Chu Yueqi's injuries needs to be publicized. It's best if everyone knows about it!"
Worried about their daughter's safety, even if Chen Xiao's request was strange, the two still agreed.
After the two left, Chen Xiao's gaze suddenly became much deeper.
There was a secret that he didn't tell the two.
The Blood Fire Poison was not a poison that could be easily infected by simple contact.
On the contrary, it required a certain amount of time and even the cooperation of the poisoned person before it could be planted into the body.
In addition, the timing of Chu Yueqi's poisoning was coincidental. Immediately, Chen Xiao thought …
"There's … a traitor in the Chu Clan."
Only by making a big fuss could the traitor be exposed!
…
In the Chu Clan's storeroom.
The fifth elder, Chu Xian, lived a leisurely life as his name suggested.
After all, he was born late, was still young, and had yet to get married.
Although he was part of the upper echelon of the Chu Clan, he basically didn't have much power.
Even though he was the person in charge of the storeroom, he was still not satisfied with all this.
In Chu Xian's opinion …
If he was born a few years earlier, Chu Yuanfeng wouldn't have had the chance to take over the Chu Clan.
Therefore, some other thoughts gradually emerged in his mind.
"According to the soul contract with Lin Huanran, as long as the second daughter is poisoned, big brother's time and energy will be wasted, and then I can find a chance to ascend to the position of the Clan Head …"
Once the soul contract was signed, if one violated the content of the contract, he would be cruelly punished.
Lin Huanran was the head steward of the Lin family. He had a high position in the Lin family. He wouldn't purposely violate the contract just to deceive Chu Xian.
Therefore, Chu Xian was very confident that the Lin family would betray him.
"Hmm, big brother is holding a family meeting?"
Suddenly, Chu Xian raised his eyebrows and took out a jade talisman. "What's going on? We just had a family meeting yesterday. Why is it being held again today?"
Generally speaking.
A family meeting would only be held when there was a major event to discuss the family's important matters.
They had just held a meeting yesterday, and they were going to hold another one today. This in itself was strange.
At this moment, two hurried figures suddenly rushed over from afar.
"Xian! Yueqi can be saved! We want to apply for these medicines! "
Chu Lerong was so excited that her face was red. She rushed over and shouted incoherently.
Chu Yueqi can be saved?
Chu Xian was stunned, and then a great shock appeared on his face. How could this be possible?
Other than the Polar Snow Lotus, there was no other method that could cure the blood fire poison.
If not, the Lin family wouldn't be so sure to force the Chu family to submit!
But Chu Lerong said … Chu Yueqi could be saved?
This was simply impossible!
"Third sister, the medicines you applied for are extremely precious. I really can't make the decision."
However, after glancing at the medicine list, Chu Xian instantly calmed down.
Many of the medicines on the list, although extremely precious, belonged to the category of medicine for injuries. They had nothing to do with the Blood Fire Poison!
Seeing Chu Lerong's pleading, Chu Xian shook his head and deliberately showed a hint of sternness.
"Third sister, I know that something happened to Yueqi. But you can't just turn to any doctor for help. These medicines are too precious. I can't just give them to you casually."
He paused, his face full of righteousness.
"Unless that Divine Doctor You also approves of these medicines!"
