After exiting the inn, Lin Mufan stood at the side of the road waiting for him, while Rui Wang found a tall black horse out of nowhere. Bending over, he wrapped his arm around Lin Mofan's waist and pulled her onto the back of the horse. The horse shot forward like an arrow towards the outskirts of the city.

Lin Mu Fan, who had never ridden a horse before, was so deranged that his chest hurt even more. The oncoming hurricane hit her so hard that she couldn't even open her eyes. She was almost unable to bear the torturous pain. However, she did not voice it out loud. She endured the pain because she was afraid that Rui Wang would stop because of the pain in his heart. She even secretly hoped that the horses could run faster, so that she could reach Poison King's Valley sooner!

She didn't want to hire a carriage to shake the whole day. The Boss didn't have the time to waste on her.

Even if the horses were fast, it would still be half a day before they reached Poison King's Valley. A cold wind blew through the mountains, causing Lin Mofan's mouth to turn purple.

Lin Mu Fan looked up at the imposing Poison Valley. He turned around and said to Rui Wang, "Third brother, thank you for bringing me here. You should quickly return. I can find my way back myself."

She wasn't sure if Minghua would fight if he saw Queen Rui, but for safety's sake she urged him to leave first. Once Poison King Valley entered, she might not even have a life to come out alive. She couldn't drag him down with her!

"I'll wait outside. You be careful." King Rui softly warned.

Lin Mofan originally wanted to tell him that there was no need to wait, but she knew the Duke of Rui's temper, so she gave up. When he turned around and walked into Poison King's Valley, the two gatekeepers immediately welcomed him. When they saw that it was Lin Mu Fan, they knelt down and greeted respectfully, "Greetings, esteemed wangfei!"

Lin Mofan put on a show of authority and said, "Thank you. I want to see Ming Hui. Please help me find him."

"Empress, Master hasn't been in the valley for days. This one can't find him. Please forgive me." One of the men said. His words were like needles that pierced Lin Mufan's heart, causing him pain …

It had already been a few days since Ming Ya appeared in the valley? Then didn't she come here for nothing today? No, she must bring the antidote back! He thought for a moment and said, "Then call out the steward."

"Empress, please wait." The man bowed and retreated.

Not long after, that person came out and said to Lin Mufan, "Empress, Master has returned and wants you to go inside."

Lin Mu Fan was elated. He didn't even think as he followed him into the valley. After passing by many oddly-shaped stone forests, they eventually arrived at a familiar courtyard. She was the one who woke her up in this room last time. The more she stepped into the room, the more her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her throat.

As far as she knew, Mingxiang and Long Zhaojie were just as cruel and ruthless as each other. She didn't know what was waiting for her. Maybe Long Ze had already set up an inescapable trap to hunt her down, and Ming Hui was the one whom the Imperial Court had placed a high value on, but she foolishly ran over here to throw herself into it.

As soon as she stepped through the doorway, she smelled a faint scent of flowers, a scent she did not recognize. The large room was so empty that one could hear the heartbeats of others. Lin Mu Fan took in a light breath. After looking around, he finally saw a tall blood-red figure at the window.

It was blood-red! It had always been Ming Hua's favorite! This kind of domineering and bloodthirsty color really suited him well!

"You're here!" Ming Hua turned around and stared at her with a warm expression on his face. This made Lin Mu Fan feel slightly relieved. But why would he ask such a question? Had he known he would come?

"You knew I would come?" Lin Mufan raised an eyebrow and asked. Because he was in the dark, he couldn't tell if he was in the calm before the storm or not. This dangerous man could always hide his true self well.

Ming Wen laughed softly and walked over. He reached out a hand to pull her into his embrace before looking down at her from a distance. "Esteemed Empress Mu resides in the imperial harem. How does Ming Wen know where the Empress is?"

"Men and women shouldn't be intimate with each other. That was what the Poison Emperor said!" Lin Mofan's palm landed on his chest as he struggled with all his might. Unfortunately, she was unable to even move against him.

"When has the Empress ever heard of the Emperor's words? Didn't you always ignore his words? " Not only did Mingxiu hug him, but she also kissed him. Just like last time, she was able to catch him off guard and was extremely rude!

"You … "Ugh …" Lin Mu Fan angrily struggled before angrily kicking his body, but unfortunately, he was able to dispel all of it. Then, he switched to another move. When he was completely engrossed in the kiss, he tightened his fingers and stabbed the silver needle between his fingers into a certain point at the back of his neck.

Ming Hua's body stiffened, but he didn't let go of her. The arms around her body seemed extremely stiff. Soon after, Lin Mu Fan felt a strong smell of blood on his lips. He was momentarily stunned.

She pushed him away with all her might and was surprised to see that his face was pale and blood gushed from his mouth and splattered on the ground. She was so frightened that she was dumbfounded. Earlier, she had pierced into an acupuncture point that could make his entire body go numb. It was not that she was vomiting blood or that her life was in danger!

How could she dare to harm him when she still had something to ask of him? It's not like he didn't want the antidote anymore!

After a long while, Lin Mofan worriedly pounced forward. He, who was kneeling on the ground, anxiously said, "You …." Are you all right? There's no poison on my needle! "

Why did he constantly spit out blood? Looking at the endless stream of blood, she had no idea what she could do. They could only helplessly stare at him, seeing how miserable he was.

"Help me up …" Ming Wen's voice was extremely weak as he stared at her.

Lin Mu Fan immediately extended his hand to support him, and asked anxiously: "How are you? I'm going to find you a husband... Where would the doctor find him? Tell me! "

Ming Hua suddenly smiled bitterly: "It's rare for you to care about me. I thought you hated me to the bones."

Who said they didn't hate you to the bone? He had to save her because he had a request. Lin Mofan secretly thought in his heart, yet he still said in a concerned tone, "Don't say anything for now, I'll go and find medicine for you!"

She was prepared to go out and find someone, but the moment she turned around, she felt her body go numb and then fell into his embrace unconscious. She didn't even understand what had happened just now.

Minghua picked up her body and placed her on the bed. When he could no longer endure the pain in his body, he fell and sat on the edge of her bed. Fortunately, someone rushed in at this time, and threw himself at Geng Ming's side, calling out anxiously, "Master! This subordinate deserves to die. I was too late. "

The person apologised guiltily as he helped Ming Wen back onto the couch outside. Ming Wen did not blame him, but he put his finger to his mouth and made a silencing gesture, indicating to him in the direction of the Cabinet that he should not disturb Lin Mofan!

That subordinate could not bear it any longer and sighed. He really did not understand what was going on in his master's mind. He was still thinking about that woman even at this time!

When Lin Mufan woke up, it was already the morning of the second day. The moment she opened her eyes, she immediately sat up from the bed. Oh my god! How did she fall asleep? How long had he slept?

Her Boss was still waiting for her in the palace. Rui Wang was still waiting for her outside Poison King Valley, and she … He was actually hiding here to rest? How could it be like this!

"Someone come!" Someone come! " Although she had slept here for the night, she was still not familiar with this place and could only rely on the help of others.

It was the same little girl from last time who hurriedly ran in. When she saw Lin Mu Fan's panicked appearance, she asked with concern, "What's wrong with the Empress? What happened? "

"I want to see Mingxiu!" She got straight to the point. It had been extremely difficult for her to see Ming Ya last night, but she didn't know how she had fallen asleep. She didn't know if she would still be able to see Ming Ya now! His heart was burning with anxiety!

It was as if Ming Xiu had calculated the time she would wake up. After she shouted those words, he appeared before her. The light of the morning sun scattered across his blood-red robe, as if a layer of high-grade gold powder was being poured over it!

Lin Mufan looked at the unscathed Ming Fan and couldn't help but be puzzled in his heart. He had clearly nearly vomited blood and died last night, so how could he recover so quickly in just one night? Yeah, looking at his condition last night, it looks like he had the same reaction as the blood poison in Long Zhaofeng's body. They wouldn't be … He was poisoned by the same poison? No, it should be the same person!

"Why is Mu Fei looking for me in such a hurry?" Ming Hua stood firmly in front of her. This time, he was standing properly and did not go forward to offend her. Lin Mu Fan slightly calmed down.

"I want to ask you a favor." Lin Mofan shook his head and tossed aside the thought that shouldn't have appeared in his heart at this moment. He kneeled down on the ground and looked up with an imploring face.

Ming Wen furrowed his brows as he coldly ordered: "Rise!"

"I can't get up. If you don't agree, then I can't get up." Lin Mu Fan had learned this kind of dog's blood technique on TV, but he didn't know if it would work against a cold-blooded man like Ming Fan.

"Then wait until the Empress stands up before coming to find me." Ming Yi sneered coldly as he turned around and prepared to leave.

Lin Mu Fan immediately stood up from the ground and quickly walked in front of him. "I …" "If you don't want to kneel, then so be it!" This move was truly useless against him. Lin Mofan finally understood!

She didn't want to circle around him anymore, so she took out a poisonous needle and placed it in front of him, begging, "The Poison King has a deep understanding of poisons, I believe he will be able to tell what poison it is. Please enlighten me, Poison King."

Ming Wen was astonished. He indifferently glanced at the silver needle as he continued to gaze at her. After a long while, he opened his mouth and asked: "Who was the one who took this poison from?"

"Can I not tell you?" Lin Mu Fan pleaded.

Ming Wen shook his head, and lightly smiled: "I'm sorry, I want to know."

Lin Mu Fan helplessly took a light breath and could only tell him the truth: "It was taken from my pet dog. It once saved your life, so I hope you can save it." As he said this, Lin Mu Fan almost knelt down again. His face was brimming with anticipation as he stared at him.

Ming Hua didn't expect that the one poisoned would be a pet dog. After being surprised for a while, he looked at her and mocked: "You risked your life to escape to the palace and then came all the way here for a puppy?"

"Yes, you are unable to understand the relationship between me and that puppy. In the whole palace, only it and Zhu'er are the best to me. They really won't harm me." Lin Mu Fan spoke with a slightly dejected tone.

Ming Hua was silent, his inquiring gaze sweeping across her face. Lin Mu Fan, who was unable to wait for him to speak, hastily asked, "I've already told you the truth. You should have told me what poison it is, right?"
