She accidentally flirted with the villain and was fiercely criticized as the regent for forcibly mar

But he didn't ask any further questions, only shaking his head and saying, "Princess Xinyang is guarding Ningning's residence, and no one is allowed to approach. Even if I take you in, you won't be able to see Ningning."

"I'll tell the guard to go in twice a day, morning and evening, to find out what's going on. You can send someone to wait here, at least that way we'll know when she wakes up."

Chu Jin was grateful and curtsied, saying, "Thank you!"

Looking at the girl in front of him who had once given him strange feelings, Shao Yunting said gently, "Let's go back! The sun is strong, be careful not to get heatstroke. If Ningning wakes up and wants to see you, you won't be able to see her right away."

Chu Jin, unable to ascertain Ningning's exact condition, felt a sense of unease and was somewhat absent-minded. Nevertheless, she thanked him, saying, "Thank you, I understand."

……

From Chengde to Beijing, and then from Beijing we invited people over.

A round trip, without sleep or rest, would take five to six days even at top speed.

For the past few days, he has been in a coma because the toxicity has been suppressed by the golden needles of Thirteen Huo.

For those who can't help and can only wait, each day feels like an eternity.

Chu Jin personally went to the gate of the estate every day to wait for news.

One day, two days... five days... every time I heard the news that "he has not yet woken up" or "the regent has not yet returned," my heart sank a little further.

To assassinate the regent, the arrow must have been coated with deadly poison.

If things drag on like this day after day, how will Ningning's body hold up?

But unfortunately, she couldn't do anything, not even take care of Ningning!

Chu Jin knelt before the Guanyin statue, chanting scriptures and praying.

Madam Jiang no longer carried the name of the murderer, her eyes were no longer dull, and she no longer felt that her nightmares every night were because Jiang Ruining had returned to take her life. She no longer needed anyone's help to get out of bed and walk.

During this period, he received two secret letters from Madam Liu. No one knows what was written in the letters.

Every day, after Chu Jin returned from gathering information, she would ask a question and then fall silent, eating and sleeping as usual, and no one knew what she was thinking.

They endured until the morning of the sixth day.

As Xin Yang watched Jiang Ruining's face turn from pale to black, his unease grew: "Thirteen Huo! What's wrong? Has the acupuncture failed to suppress the poison from invading her internal organs?"

Thirteen Huo's face, the half not covered by the mask, grew increasingly grim: "At most, I can hold on for another half day. Without the antidote, the poison will become unstoppable!"

"vomit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ruining, who was unconscious, scrunched up his face in pain and unease, as if he wanted to struggle, but it was as if he was bound by invisible ropes. His face grew more and more pale, and then he began to vomit large amounts of black blood.

Like a tsunami, the stench of death crashed down, quickly spreading to every corner of the room, and the deathly aura permeated everyone's hearts.

Gongsun Changming quickly stepped in front of his wife, a drop of black blood splattering on his clothes, dark and heavy, making one feel uneasy.

"Young lady!" Yun Mi's cry was heart-wrenching. She tried to rush over, but Gongsun Changming grabbed her, saying, "Let Thirteen Huo administer acupuncture to your young lady. Don't make things worse!"

Thirteen Huo's hands were still as fast, accurate and steady as ever when he inserted the needles, but his eyes were noticeably less calm than they had been the previous two days.

The needle was moved for 25 minutes.

As the group waited anxiously, Jiang Ruining's dark complexion finally eased, fading into a weak, deathly pale.

With her eyes red and swollen, Yunmi anxiously asked, "How is it? How is the young lady?"

Thirteen Huo shook his head: "It's unstoppable; it has already begun to invade the internal organs."

Yun Mi held Jiang Ruining in her arms, crying loudly as she carefully wiped away the black blood: "Miss! Miss, you must hold on! The Prince will definitely get the antidote, and Granny Honghua will be here soon!"

"What should we do?" Xin Yang, pregnant, was even more emotional and melancholic. Biting her lip, tears immediately streamed down her face. "Quickly write to my brother, ask him if there's any progress! And has that divine physician we invited arrived yet!"

Thirteen Huo remained silent.

I only received the news from the capital in the evening. They are still torturing the mastermind. Even if we can get the antidote immediately and send it over in the fastest way possible, it will still take at least a day.

Although the divine doctor had already set off two days ago, even with their physical strength and riding skills, it would still take them three days and two nights to get here from the capital!

No matter how you calculate it, it's just one step short.

But if they had been just one step too close, and had made it in time, they could at least have saved their lives.

With proper care, he might live another ten or eight years!

"Just wait! There's no other way!"

evening.

As the sun gradually dipped below my knees...

Grandma Red Flower finally arrived as expected.

Traveling day and night, the medic, whose riding skills were barely up to par, managed to compress the six-day journey into three days. When he dismounted, his hair was disheveled, his steps were unsteady, his hands were trembling as he took Jiang Ruining's pulse, and he was still panting heavily.

The people in the room looked on, and couldn't help but wonder, what could they possibly come up with?

Grandma Honghua examined Jiang Ruining for a long time, and when she finished, three red marks were left on Jiang Ruining's wrist.

He took the wine flask from his waist and slowly took two sips.

The rich and mellow taste of the wine soothed her fatigue from days of travel, and she laughed contentedly.

Yunmi was frantic, jumping up and down: "There's plenty of time for drinking, but my daughter's life hangs by a thread! You must save her!"

Grandma Honghua glanced at her: "I'm here. She's not on her last breath, what's the rush!"

If she were a renowned and highly skilled doctor, her confident demeanor and composed tone would surely soothe people's hearts.

But she isn't!

While everyone else was anxious and frustrated, she still had the leisure to drink and enjoy herself—that was just adding fuel to the fire!

Their faces were as black as the bottom of a pot.

Yun Mi opened her impetuous little mouth and was about to howl.

The three words "Grandma Honghua" shut her down: "She won't die."

Yunmi swallowed back her angry words: "R-really?"

Granny Honghua tightened the screws on the wine jug: "Do I look like I'm joking? Since the Regent invited me, he knows I have the ability. What are you all babbling about?"

She said that.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Absolutely!

If the Regent was unsure that this person's abilities surpassed those of Thirteen Huo, how could he have sent Ten An to personally invite him?

Xin Yang asked, "How confident is the doctor?"

Granny Honghua waved her hand impatiently: "Who can say for sure about this kind of deadly poison? Those who know medicine, stay. Everyone else, get out. Don't get in the way. Go, go, go!"

Xin Yang hesitated.

She knew absolutely nothing about this person.

If we entrust the treatment to her and something goes wrong, I won't be able to explain it to my elder brother!

"If you were..."

Granny Honghua retorted, "What if? You wouldn't treat her unless you were absolutely certain, and then just watch her die?"

Xin Yang felt a tightness in his chest.

Indeed, Thirteen Huo is currently out of options. The only person who might be able to save Jiang Ruining is the one in front of them. However, they don't know if they can get the antidote, or when it will be delivered. If they just wait, the poison will enter her heart meridian, and even if the antidote arrives, it will be useless.

Her elder brother entrusted the person to her, so she had to make the decision.

She had no choice but to make a decision.

Gritting her teeth, she led the others out.
