Chapter 182 - Test Drug

In the silence of the night, a figure climbed over a low wall and entered a yard. As he gently pushed open the door, the light inside suddenly lit up.

He subconsciously stepped back and heard a familiar laughter coming from inside, “You came back so late, you kept me waiting!”

He put away his precaution and stepped through the door, closing it behind him. “Why are you in my room?”

“Aiya, seeing you out in the middle of the night and thinking that you've gone out to court, how could you know how to wait and wait. It's been a long time and you still haven't come back. I'm so tired!”

“What are you waiting for me for?”

“In the middle of the night, a man and a woman, apart from chatting, what else can they do?” Zuo Shaotang's gaze swept across the other party's black clothes as he chuckled and said, “Dressed like this, don't ever tell me that you've gone for a stroll.”

Xiao Feng took off the mask on his face and casually threw it on the table. He walked to the side of the bed and changed his black clothes, then said: “If there's something you want to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush.”

“You're pretty straightforward. Why don't you tell me honestly, why did you stay in the Third Prince Mansion?”

“What else could it be? Is it something we can leave for as long as we want to?” Xiao Feng slanted his eyes at him, “Then why are you staying here?”

Zuo Shaotang stood up and stretched his back, then walked around Xiao Feng twice, rubbing his chin and said: “I just want to see your goal, our Sky Piercing Sect's Right Protectorate, is the most boring and the most unruly of people, to actually follow me all the way to the capital, and yet you still refuse to leave, even saying that you don't have any tricks up your sleeve doesn't make me believe you.”

“I've already said it before, we can't leave just because we want to. Does the owner of this mansion agree?”

Hehe, we understand that. Although we were captured here in the beginning, but to be honest, the Third Prince and that Seventh Young Master Huo did not send anyone to watch over us. Our injuries are almost healed.

“Don't underestimate this mansion. It's not easy to leave.” Xiao Feng retorted lightly.

“It's not easy, but it's not like you can't leave. The question is, have you ever thought of leaving?” Zuo Shaotang walked in front of Xiao Feng and stared into his eyes, “Tell me, what is your goal?”

Xiao Feng opened his eyes wide, “Why should I tell you?”

“That's true. You've always had this kind of personality. I'm afraid that you've never trusted me before, right?”

Xiao Feng took a step back when he saw the sorrowful look on his face, “Enough, don't use this trick again. Do you think I would fall for it?”

Zuo Shaotang's eyes flashed with a look of regret, but he immediately laughed like a spring flower, “Alright, I won't force you, but do you need an accomplice? I think you probably didn't manage to get anything tonight. One more person makes you more powerful. “

In fact, Zuo Shaotang had observed him for several nights already. Initially, he still had the patience to wait for him to reveal himself or for him to take the initiative to ask for help.

Xiao Feng walked over to open the door, and said coldly: “You don't have to worry about me.”

Zuo Shaotang knew his character, it seemed that he had returned empty-handed tonight. He walked over helplessly, and when the other party wasn't looking for him, he pinched his face, leaving a sentence: “You are getting colder and colder.” Then he ran away as fast as he could.

“You ...” Xiao Feng stood at the same spot with a dark expression. After a long time, he slammed the door and laid on the bed to rest.

He naturally had a reason for staying here, just like when he chased them to the Hui State City. It was for the peerless skills possessed by the two of them.

“Oh.” Wang Ren answered with a red face, then turned and ran.

Teng Yu's gaze fell on the figure that was walking far away, and from beginning to end, he could not see how this brat could be accepted by Yin Xu as his last disciple.

“Let's go.” Teng Yu pulled him to a forbidden area in the backyard. This place was Yin Xu's pharmacy before, and it was now one of the Palace's forbidden areas.

He squinted his eyes and looked, only to see that the pharmacy that he usually cleaned up had become a mess. There were many books scattered on the table and many papers on the floor, and two old men were staring at a cage, not moving at all, not even reflecting when they entered.

“Cough, cough ...” Teng Yu reminded them, and the two immediately turned around with their faces filled with fatigue. They had thick black circles around them and were extremely excited.

“Your Highness ...” One of the old men hurriedly ran over, gave a simple salute and pulled the man in.

Yin Xu frowned, and followed him in.

“You see, Elder Shu and I used the powder on three different animals. There wasn't any special reaction during the first few days, but last night, these three animals had different degrees of conditions.”

Teng Yu walked to the front of the cage and observed it carefully, but did not find anything special about the animals inside.

He looked at the two old doctors, waiting for them to answer.

The old man excitedly said, “It's like this. From last night, they became restless. They went back and forth in their cages, even provoking each other. They seem extremely irritable.”

Teng Yu thought about the current situation of the emperor and nodded, “That is to say, this medicine will gradually cause people to lose their patience, make them irritable and irritable?”

“That's the initial confirmation. As for whether there are any other symptoms, I have to continue to observe.”

Teng Yu did not tell them where the powder came from, but the two old doctors were not stupid people either.

However, after knowing the answer, they were all secretly shocked. They didn't know who dared to poison that person.

“Alright, then I'll be counting on you two. It would be even better if I could develop the antidote.”

“This... If it wasn't for our specialties, things would be a bit difficult for us. “

Teng Yu did not make things difficult for them, he only told them to do their best and at the same time send people to search for famous doctors.

Yin Xu stood in front of the cage and reached out his hand to tease a rabbit. That rabbit's eyes were extremely red, and it pounced towards him ferociously, attempting to bite his finger.

“Are there no other problems with their bodies? Sick or something? ” Yin Xu asked.

The two imperial physicians replied in unison. “There's temporarily no such thing.”

Yin Xu thought about the emperor's body and frowned, “Should we change people to test the medicine? There is a difference between his physique and that of an animal's.”

“This ...” The two imperial physicians looked troubled. It wasn't that they didn't know this, but if they were to experiment on living people, they wouldn't be able to get through it.

Yin Xu understood their concerns, and said smilingly: “Don't worry, I just happen to have someone who's about to die, and it's good for him to contribute a little.”
