Murong Jingxuan originally wanted to carry her into the room, but she shook her head, "Shizi, why don't you send me back to the Su manor. If Shizi can find for me the seven toxins, that would be great."
Seeing her pale white appearance, he felt a tinge of pain in his chest. Stroking her hair, he said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, I will definitely find for you those seven toxins."
Su Qingyan bowed to him, "I'm grateful to Shizi."
Murong Jingxuan, unable to persuade her, could only bring her back to her Yingshuangyuan at the Su manor.
When Zizhu saw this, thinking that Murong Jingxuan was some ruffian, she directly started to hit him with a broom. Su Qingyan weakly opened her eyes, "Zizhu, you have to know this is presently his Highness Shizi, how could you be so rash?"
When Zizhu heard this she immediately threw away the broom in her hand. She walked up next to Qingyan and pitifully said, "Miss where have you been, how did you become so ill like this?"
"The poison from before is acting up again." Su Qingyan dully replied as she leaned against Zizhu, whispering into her ear.
The fact that she was poisoned, although it didn't looked like it was caused by the second and third house, deep down she still didn't trust them. That's why, she can't let the other two houses find out she was poisoned.
"Thank you for your troubles Shizi. I'll go and rest first." Su Qingyan said this as Baizhi helped her into the room.
After taking a glance, Murong Jingxuan also turned and left.
"Miss, should I go call for Lue? From the looks of it, the poison in your body seems to be getting increasingly more severe." Baizhi looked to Qingyan, full of concern.
"Before coming back, Shizi already gave me some medicine, there's no need to worry for now." Qingyan said as she let out a heavy sigh.
"Miss was fine before, how did she become like this? It really makes one quite distressed." Baizhi covered her mouth with tears close to rolling out of her eyes. Her appearance made Qingyan raise her hand and gently stroke her head, "Baizhi, for now I'm fine, no need to worry."
"Miss, Miss, outside there's two girls that say they're here to take care of young miss." Huangcen's voice came from outside the door.
Fengqing probably having heard something, called out from the air, "Miss, they are the servants that my master has sent for you."
Qingyan helplessly shook her head as she thought of Murong Jingxuan's face, "Just let them in."
Afterwards two young girls, one in a blue green attire and one in a pink attire, walked into the room. The girl in the blue green attire had clean cut short hair and looked very experienced and reliable. The girl in pink had her hair tied in twin buns and a innocent and pure smile, making her look very likable.
"What are your names?" Su Qingyan leaned against the bed and carried a faint smile on her pale face.
"Our master said that from now on we belong to miss. We are different from Fengqing in that from now on you are our master. So we hope that young miss will grant us new names." The two girls looked to Qingyan and respectfully replied.
"If that's the case, since the four girls by my side have names based on medicine, then how about your names follow that pattern as well?"
"Everything will be up to the young miss." The two said still in a respectful tone.
Su Qingyan studied their appearance and pondered for a moment, before slowly replying, "The girl in the blue green attire from now on will be called, Qingdai. And the one in pink will be called Chishao."
"Thank you for granting us names." The two respectfully bowed onto the ground, "From this point on, young miss shall be our new master."
Qingyan saw the serious looks on their faces. They looked to be around the same age as Huangcen, but seem to understand how to conduct themselves much better. She could only say as expected of the
people trained by Murong Jingxuan.
"Baizhi will attend to things here, you all can withdraw for now." She waved her hand at them as she said this, then turned to smile at Baizhi, "Baizhi, go arrange a place for them to stay. I've already arranged for Zizhu to take care of something else for me."
"I understand." Baizhi turned and left the room after receiving the order.
Su Qingyan leaned against her bed and extended her arm. Not long, the golden ringed snake crawled up next to her arm and hissed, "Master, is the poison in your body beginning to act up again?"
Qingyan listened as she rubbed its head, "Xiaojin, don't worry. If Xiaohei can find the seven colored lingyun snake, then I'll have a little more hope. And I've already asked Murong Shizi to take care of the other ingredients.
Just then Yaoyao also woke up. In just a few steps in jumped next to Qingyan and curled into a ball on top the bed. "Master, will you leave me behind again!?" It reached out its paw to Qingyan, "Master, I'm really scared that you will leave me behind again."
"Yaoyao, I won't abandon you guys, but I hope that Xiaohei can find me the seven colored lingyun snake. Including the ghost ringed scorpion, I'll only need just four more ingredients. If I can have all of them at my side, absorbing their poison, then the poison in my body will be easier to control.
"Master, you really need to properly take care of yourself." The golden ringed snake hissed out.
"Watch over me, I'm a bit tired. Avoid letting anyone near me." Su Qingyan looked to them and ordered in serious voice.
"We will watch over master." Yaoyao looked to Qingyan, waving its tail. The gold ringed snake hissed as well.
Qingyan laid down on her bed and quickly fell asleep...
Su Qingyan had a really long dream. In the dream, she was still the high and dignified Empress with her children by her side; it was the life she yearned for.
"Qilian Qingyan, you won't be lonely on your way to hell. I will quickly send your children after you.
"Mother, mother, wake up, it's Ning'er. You said that you would always watch over Ning'er. And there's little sister too, she also really misses mother."
"Mother, mother, don't leave me and big brother Crown Prince behind. We can't live without mother."
"My poor daughter, it's all father's fault!"
Everything appeared in Su Qingyan's mind. She tightly gripped the side of her bed, as if no matter what, she couldn't escape from the nightmare.

Meanwhile, Murong Jingxuan, who had returned to his own manor, was still feeling remorse over his earlier conduct. He turned to Chonglou next to him and called out in a cold voice, "Chonglou, the seven toxin five flower poison is which seven creatures?"
"The so called seven toxins, is made up of the toxins from the seven colored lingyun snake, ghost ringed scorpion, silver centipede, ice cicada, red spider, blue tailed lizard, and the gold silkworm. And within our country, aside from the ghost ringed scorpion, of the remaining 6 creatures, the seven colored lingyun snake and silver centipede are within the borders of Nanchen; the red spider and ice cicada are raised in within the borders of Xiyue. As for the blue tailed lizard and gold silkworm, they exist in Beilin." Chonglou respectfully answered Murong Jingxuan.
Listening to Chonglou's words, Murong Jingxuan replied still in a cold voice, "Fengluo, contact our people within the other three countries. They must find me these creatures within 3 months."
"I understand."
"Chonglou, I'll leave this matter to you to take care of. I still need to go to the palace tonight; the incident at Bogu hall has given the old Emperor a headache. And the following talent conferencet is also a way for the other princes to choose their bride." Murong Jingxuan thought of what Xuanyuan Yuzhen had said rubbed his temples.
"I understand."
