Qiao Qiao's consciousness continued to grow fainter and fainter. The last thing he remembered was the imperial physician that Ji Mingyuan had spoken of. Afterwards, he completely lost consciousness.

In the middle of the night, only one part of the palace was brightly lit.

In the dead of night, Ji Mingyuan was still leaning against the bed next to Qiao Yifan's. His eyes were bloodshot, and he did not move an inch away from Qiao Yifan.

"Esteemed imperial concubine, it's already been five days, the imperial physician said …" They say that the Emperor's poison has worsened. " Xiyue looked at Qiao who was still peacefully sleeping on the bed. The tip of her nose was slightly sore as she spoke with a choked voice.

"She'll be fine." Ji Mingyuan said with empty eyes.

"But …"

"No buts!" Ji Minyuan roared out, interrupting Xiyue's words.

Xiyue's body trembled, but she didn't say a word.

Suddenly, a white figure landed on the roof of the palace. Xiyue was startled. She recognized this person; it was the master of the Qing Jue Palace. The emperor was very familiar with him, but why would he come to the palace at this time?

"Hall Master Qing Jue?" Ji Mingyuan asked in surprise.

His white robes fluttered in the wind, and due to the mask covering his face, no one could see his expression. He slowly raised his hand, and a wooden box appeared in it.

"This is?" Xiyue asked.

"The antidote."

The word "cold" came out of his mouth as he tossed the embroidered box forward. Ji Mingyuan turned around and caught it. When he raised his head, the technique had already disappeared.

Ji Mingyuan held the embroidered box in his hand as he looked at Xiyue with a puzzled expression.

"How did you get to know Palace Chief Qing Jue?"

"This servant doesn't know. This servant has only met him once with the emperor. He is rather familiar with the emperor." Xiyue shook her head.

"Then this medicine …?" Ji Mingyuan looked hesitantly at the embroidered box.

"This servant thinks that I can give it a try." Since the emperor was already like this, there was no need for him to go through so much trouble to kill the emperor. She was willing to believe that this man was really here to save the emperor, not to mention that they were already at their wit's end.

On the other hand, after throwing out the antidote, he flew out of the palace in a puff of air.

"Pfft ~!" With one knee on the ground, he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"Mistress!" Zi Ran quickly chased after him. "How are you?" she asked with concern.

"No problem." Nie Fen waved his hand. "Go to the palace and see if the medicine is effective. If she wakes up, report back to Yours Truly in time."

"Mistress, your old injuries have yet to recover. This time, you came alone to the Demon Palace to look for the antidote. This …" Zi Ran's face was filled with anxiety. She looked at the increasingly weak Qi, and her eyes reddened.

"This sovereign is fine, go watch over her." His pale face couldn't even conceal his mask, and his weak voice made Zi Ran's heart ache.

She couldn't understand why the Palace Master was putting so much effort for the sake of that scarecrow emperor of the State of Qiao!

Without waiting for Zi Ran's reply, he slowly stood up, dragged his sluggish body, and walked step by step in the direction of the Qing Jue Palace.

Zi Ran looked at the receding figure of the Immortal Deity Technique. She knew that this time, the Palace Mistress was truly injured. Otherwise, he would have been able to use his Qing Gong and return to the palace step by step to recuperate.

She had not seen the palace master in such a sorry state since she joined the Qing Jue Palace five years ago. Even though she did not follow the palace master during this adventure to look for medicine, she knew that this trip would be fraught with dangers. It was rumored that the Demon Palace master was eccentric, difficult to distinguish between males and females, and even more so, bloodthirsty, brutal and unrelenting.

"Sigh." Although she did not dare disobey the order, her heart was tied to the safety of the Mistress. Moreover, with the Mistress' current inner strength, she could not detect that she was secretly following him at all. At the very least, she would have to watch as the Mistress safely returned to the Pure End Palace before being able to peacefully head to the Imperial Palace.

Under the moonlight, the beautiful white figure seemed abnormally desolate. She was alone, holding her chest with her hands as she struggled to walk forward, step by step.

Zi Ran followed closely. She had wanted to help several times but still quietly retreated, afraid that the Mistress would notice and chase her away. Right now, she only needed to watch as the Mistress safely returned to the Pure End Palace.

All of a sudden, his feet became unsteady, and he staggered, his body swayed, and his eyes closed. Then, he slowly fell to the ground.

"Mistress!" Zi Ran shouted, and immediately appeared to quickly support the unconscious Nie Tian.

She reached out and placed her hand on his pulse. It was weak, and she realized that it was not good. She wanted to get up and quickly fly back to the Cleansing Palace, but she saw another white shadow blocking her way out.

"Hua Bai Ning?" Zi Ran shouted in surprise.

"Leave him to me." Hua Bai Ning's face was expressionless as she pointed to the technique that Zi Ran was holding.

"Hua Bai Ning, the Palace Master has always been good to you. This time, he's in trouble, if you can't help, don't stop him." Zi Ran was slightly angry.

"I told you to give him to me!" Hua Bai Ning was obviously not patient, and shouted with a heavy tone.

"As long as I am still alive, I will definitely not hand the palace master over to you!" Zi Ran also shouted coldly.

"Originally, I wanted to let you live after we left Absolute Clear Palace together. Since you have overestimated your own strength, don't blame me for not caring about my past feelings!" Hua Bai Ning laughed coldly and quickly rushed towards the Violet Orchid.

"You have already been expelled from our Palace by our Asgard Mistress. If you still care about your relationship, don't stop me from bringing our Asgard Mistress back to the Asgard to recuperate from her injuries!" Zi Ran gently put down her technique. Her tone was light and gentle, but she still reached out her hand to meet Hua Bai Ning's all-out palm.

Two rays of light burst out from between the two of them.

Due to the lack of Zhen Qi, Zi Ran took Hua Bai Ning's palm and her body flew out. A mouthful of blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth as she fell to the ground unconscious.

With a cold smile, Hua Bai Ning walked closer and closer to the technique...
