"Hahaha …" "Seems like the lass really misses this old man!" A thick and heavy door was pushed open from the outside. A white-haired old man walked in followed by a tall Yuwen Tuo.

Seeing that it really was him, Helian Lie could no longer suppress the ecstasy in his heart. He gently made Cen Xue lie down and rushed forward. He ignored all etiquette and grabbed his hand, pulling him to the bedside.

"Doctor Keser, quick, the imperial concubine doesn't have time to wait any longer." Helian Shan pulled him to the bedside and looked at Cen Xue. Now that he was back, Xue'er could be saved.

Dan Yu Wu walked to Yuwen Tuo's side and used her eyes to converse with him. Yuwen Tuo understood her meaning and also realized that something was wrong with her face. He immediately made her sit down and accompany him.

Mu Yue also let out a sigh of relief. This old thing had finally returned.

"This old man has used silver needles to protect Imperial Concubine's heart veins and temporarily controlled the poison. However, due to the excessive amount of time, the poison has already started to spread and this old man is powerless to do anything." Mu Yue added and told him about Cen Xue's situation.

After hearing what Elder Mu Yue said, he nodded in understanding. He calmed his heart and took her pulse to understand the current state of her body after the poison had spread.

Helian Lie didn't dare to cause a ruckus, he just stood quietly by the side. With Hei Shite here, Cen Xue would be fine. She would be fine very soon, it must be like this …

A moment later, Keser took out a black porcelain bottle and poured a pill into Cen Xue's mouth. He left the bed and respectfully approached Helian Shan, "Witch Doctor Keser greets the King!"

"My apologies, Doctor Keser. Quickly, tell me, how is the imperial concubine?" Helian Lie's heart was only filled with concern for Cen Xue. As for his own Gu, he had long forgotten about it.

"Fortunately, Elder Mu Yue and the High Priest were able to control the spread of the poison and also protect the imperial concubine's heart veins. Although there's no medicine to cure the poison, that doesn't mean there's no way to cure it."

When these words were spoken, it immediately caused everyone's eyes to light up. The Voodoo Doctor's reputation was indeed well-deserved. He was even able to smile so easily at such a troublesome poison.

"May I ask what method you have for detoxifying the poison?" Helian Shan could no longer suppress the ecstasy in his heart. His Xue'er was finally able to stay by his side for the rest of her life.

Curser glanced at everyone present and said with a heavy expression on his face, "Exchange of blood!"

Blood change? Helian Lie repeated in a low voice. He had heard of this method of blood exchange before, but how exactly was it to be changed? Who should he trade with?

This method could only be used in Miao Jiang territory. If one was unable to master this technique, it was very likely that both of them would die from excessive blood loss, which was why there was a certain risk.

"Dr. Kerser, would you please elaborate?" Yiyu Wu had heard of this before, so she was very curious.

"Alright, but Imperial Concubine needs a quiet rest right now. Just now, she ate the Soul Recovery Pill that I personally refined, this pill can resist a hundred poisons, Imperial Consort needs to eat it, for the time being, her life is not in danger. Your Royal Highness, as this old man has established it, everyone should go to the main hall to discuss it in detail!" The patient needed to rest, and the room was surrounded by a circle of people.

Helian Lie turned around and looked at Cen Xue. He held her hand and tried to talk to her with all his heart … Xue'er, rest well. I'll be back soon to accompany you!

"All of you, leave." At Helian Lie's command, everyone in the room had already left the hall. However, Helian Lie was still worried. He had Wen Qing and Wen Xing stay in the room, keeping close to Cen Xue.

Hei Si rushed back in a travel-worn manner. It was already the middle of the night and he had to busy himself with the matter of the imperial concubine detoxifying the poison.

Brightmoon went to get a few drops of imperial concubine's blood from the room according to the doctor's instructions and placed them in different bowls. Seeing her actions, there was no need to explain, as everyone already knew what Dr. Keser was trying to do.

Helian Shan had Zhao Changde summon the four great guards, and also picked a few robust guards from the Imperial Guard to bring over.

While they were waiting, Yuwen Tuo cut his finger and dripped his blood into the bowl filled with Cen Xue's blood. Helian Shan and Hei Se were both watching the changes in the bowl …

"It can't be dissolved." Under the gaze of the crowd, Keser spoke slowly.

Yuwen Tuo didn't say anything and returned to his seat. He originally wanted to help Cen Xue exchange his blood for her, but unfortunately …

At this moment, the four great guards, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermillion Bird, each selected a strong looking guard and walked in. "We greet the king …"

"All of you, stand up. Each of you, drip a drop of your blood into the bowl." Helian Zhang went straight to the topic of naming.

"Understood …"

The green dragon took the lead. The other three people also took a step forward and pierced their fingers with a drop of blood, staring at the change in the bowl.

A moment later, Helian Lie's eyebrows furrowed. Not a single one of the four guards' blood was able to match Cen Xue's?

"You four, continue!" He did not believe that no one's blood could fuse with Cen Xue's.

Upon receiving the king's order, the four bodyguards did not dare to hesitate a single step. They immediately went forward and repeated the actions of the four bodyguards, waiting once more.

"Your Highness, don't worry. There will definitely be someone whose blood can fuse with Imperial Concubine's." Seeing his unsightly expression, Heather took a step forward and said.

"No need, bring me a bowl!" Just as Keser's words fell, Helian Lie ordered Zhao Changde. He drank Cen Xue's blood every month, believing that his blood would blend with Xue'er's blood.

Zhao Chang De looked at the Witch Doctor Hei at the side, then looked at General Yuwen's position. Seeing that none of them said anything, he picked up his bowl and walked to the front of the king.

Helian Lie cut his finger without hesitation and dripped his blood into the bowl. His pair of deep eyes stared fixedly at the changes within the bowl.

Slowly... The drop of blood that Helian Lie had just dripped was gradually approaching the drop of blood in the middle. Helian Shan clearly remembered that the drop of blood was Cen Xue's.

When Hei Shite saw the changes in the bowl, he asked Ming Yue to retrieve a drop of blood from within the chamber.

Helian Shan sat in his seat, he had already decided on what to do. When Mingyue took another drop of Cen Xue's blood and placed it in front of him, he repeated his actions just now, quietly waiting for the change in the bowl.

"Ai, heaven's will …" Heather shook her head impatiently as she watched the blood in the bowl dissolve again.

He had originally wanted to choose one of the four great guards, but who could have known that it would be inappropriate. Only the king's blood could fuse with the imperial concubine's, but he was worried, worried that if the king gave a large amount of his own blood to the imperial concubine, the Gu in the king's body would not be able to withstand it and would wreak havoc in his internal organs!

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with worry. If an ordinary person lost a large amount of blood, their body would at most be weak, but if they were to carefully adjust their breathing for a few days, they would be able to slowly recover. However, the king's situation was extraordinary, and they still had to think carefully before deciding!

"What? Are you all mute?" Helian Zhang waved his hand and had Brightmoon remove all those things. Since the results were out, there was no need for these things.

"Your Majesty, why don't we look for someone else? You have a priceless body, how can you be in danger? " When Yuwen Tuo saw that no one else said a word, he stood up and was the first to speak.

Helian Lie knew that Yuwen Tuo would stop him, so he was the first to take the initiative to drip his blood. He deserved to be called his good brother. However, no one could stop him from begging Cen Xue.

"General Yuwen is right, please reconsider!" One-Feather Dance also echoed Yuwen Tuo's words.

"The Duke of Qing, think twice …" Immediately, everyone in the hall gathered together and spoke in unison.

Helian Lie did not say anything. His face was also expressionless as he quietly stared at the group of people in front of him …

"It's already late. Doctor Keser will rest for the night. Tomorrow morning, I will replace Imperial Concubine's blood. I've already decided that no one is to bring it up!" Helian Lie stood up and left the hall after saying his next words. He returned to his room.

Mu Yue understood the king's temperament. Once he decided on something, no one would be able to change his mind. The only person who could change his mind would probably be little Cen Xue.

Dan Yu Wu walked in front of Heather and asked with a worried expression, "Doctor Heather, is it dangerous for your highness to do this? Why didn't you stop the king? "

"Little girl, it's useless. It's not like you know the king for a day or two. Don't you understand the king's temperament?" Heather asked her.

Dan Yu Wu thought about it for a moment. What she said made sense, no wonder Elder Mu Yue hadn't said anything.

The few people outside were still discussing what to do tomorrow when Helian Shi had already returned to Cen Xue's side. Seeing that she had recovered a tinge of color, a smile appeared on his face.

Dr. Keser's medicine was indeed useful. It was truly a miraculous medicine! Holding Cen Xue's hand, he could almost feel a trace of warmth.

"Xue'er, don't be afraid, don't be anxious. Wait another night, everything will be fine tomorrow …" Saying so, he planted a kiss on her smooth forehead.

After so many nights, he was finally able to rest in peace.

The moonlight shone through the window and onto Helian Shan's peaceful face. He hadn't rested for many days. Tonight, he was indeed tired.

Just as he entered the city, Yuwen Tuo received the news and was waiting for him at the Black Tortoise Gate to return. They then entered the palace together and as they walked, told him in detail that the imperial concubine had been poisoned with poison.

In the Palace of Endless Music, Heather returned to the temporary residence she had been staying at for the past three years. Everything in the Palace remained the same, but the people who lived there had gone through years of wasting time and hardships, and now there were a few wrinkles on their faces.

He only took a short break, and as soon as the sun rose, he had to get up and get ready.

Outside the door, a figure slowly walked towards him. "Who do I think it is?" So it's Elder Mu Yue. What business do you have with this old man that you're looking for me so early in the morning? "
