Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1264 The Poisoned Person
After seeing them off, Lin Jinyan's smile was immediately replaced by worry, and she looked at Hong Jiu who was standing guard at the door:
"No news has come yet?"

Hong Jiu frowned and shook his head. He was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed. He raised his hand to touch his waist and guarded Lin Jinyan and Bai Zhi behind him.
"It smells like blood, Baizhi, call for the guards."

Bai Zhi hurried out, brought back the four nearest guards, and surrounded Lin Jinyan.

Hong Jiu looked back, then looked around cautiously, making sure there were no enemies around before drawing the soft sword from his waist:
"Guard the young lady here and don't move."

Lin Jinyan knew that Hong Jiu didn't let her go because he was afraid that someone would lure the tiger away from the mountain, and worried that she would not be able to protect herself if she was too far away, so she stood where she was obediently:

"Be careful."

Hong Jiu hummed lightly, and with full alertness, he took a step forward, slowly pushed open the door and stepped inside.

Lin Jinyan looked at the door with a worried look over the guard's shoulder. The expected sound of fighting did not come. Hong Jiu went in for a moment and came out quickly.

When she saw Hong Jiu coming out and putting away his sword, Lin Jinyan knew that there was no danger in the house, so she stepped past the guards and walked forward:
"what happened?"

Hong Jiu did not answer, but instructed the guards:
"It's just that the cat caught a mouse, so go away."

Upon hearing this, the guard looked at Lin Jinyan, and after Lin Jinyan nodded, he bowed and retreated.

After they left, Hong Jiu said anxiously:

"It's Boss An. He's been poisoned."

Hearing that An Zhixian suddenly appeared in the house and was poisoned, Lin Jinyan had a lot of questions in her mind, but she didn't bother to think too much, and walked in with her skirt lifted. An Zhixian sat at the table in the house, with his hands on the table supporting his body, clenched into fists stiffly and forcefully. Because he tried his best to endure the pain of the poison, his face was flushed, and there was blood at the corners of his mouth that had not been completely wiped clean.

Lin Jinyan, who had entered the room with him, looked at him and forced a smile:
"It was an emergency, not intentional. Sorry to have caused you trouble... Don't worry, I got rid of the people who were following me before I came here..."

The moment Lin Jinyan saw An Zhixian again, she felt her heart tighten. She was about to ask about him with concern, but she heard An Zhixian apologize in return. Her tone was also quite aggressive due to her anxiety:

"What's the point of being polite in this situation? What's more important than life? Bai Zhi!"

Bai Zhi received the order and lost her usual playful look. She stepped forward with a serious face to feel the pulse and examine the patient. She then took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of An Zhixian's mouth and examined the blood carefully:
"Hong Jiu, there is a medicine box I prepared on the upper level of the secret compartment. Bring it here quickly."

Hong Jiu agreed and walked out of the house at a rapid pace.

Seeing An Zhixian vomiting blood again and his face turning blue with cold sweat, Lin Jinyan didn't care about An Zhixian's deliberate distance. She took the handkerchief she usually used to wash her face, rinsed it with water, wrung it dry, and handed it over.

Seeing that An Zhixian no longer had the strength to raise his hand, Lin Jinyan hesitated for a moment and wiped the sweat off his face and neck with her own hands. Feeling An Zhixian's rapid and chaotic breathing falling on the back of her hand, Lin Jinyan frowned even more deeply:
"This poison seems to be extremely strong. Is it difficult to cure?"

Bai Zhi pried open An Zhixian's eyelids, who was about to faint from the pain, and said in a cold tone:

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a mixture of two poisons. The longer the poison lasts, the greater the damage to the body. Judging from the effects of the poison, it will not only damage the internal organs, but if it lasts longer, even the eyes will be blinded.

Although the poisoned person will not die immediately, he will suffer from excruciating pain for several days. In the end, if there is no antidote, he will probably die from the pain."
