The Xiao Family's Xiao Shaorong brought his men to the valley. He saw Xiao Jiu'an, whose mouth was filled with blood, leaning against a big tree while hugging the dirty Ji Yunkai. He was motionless, as if he were dead.

On the contrary, Xiao Jiu'an's face was rosy and his complexion looked good, but there were quite a few bloodstains on his body. It was unknown whether it was his blood or Ji Yunkai's, but one could be sure that Xiao Jiu'an was definitely still alive.

Not knowing about the situation between the two, Xiao Shaorong did not dare to casually step forward and pull them away from each other, he turned and asked, "Has Doctor Zhuge come down yet?"

"I'm here, I'm here." Doctor Zhuge was just brought down the mountain, and before he could even gather his bearings, he had already ran over.

"Ahh!" Seeing Xiao Jiu'an and Ji Yunkai's situation, he cried out in shock.

"What are you shouting for? Hurry up and go up to see what's wrong with them." Xiao Shaorong's face darkened, and said with a stern tone.

"Yes, yes, yes." Doctor Zhuge hurriedly carried his medicine case forward. Naturally, the first to be diagnosed and treated was Xiao Jiu'an, but before Doctor Zhuge could even touch Xiao Jiu'an's hand, his wrist was held back.

"Aiyo, aiyo...! Prince, please spare my life." Doctor Zhuge cried out in pain. He wanted to shake off Xiao Jiu'an's hand, but Xiao Jiu'an's hand was like an iron pincer; he was unable to pull it out no matter how hard he tried.

"Prince?" Xiao Shaorong thought that Xiao Jiu'an had woken up, and immediately went to him. However, it was in only vain, as Xiao Jiu'an did not have show signs of waking up. His grabbing onto the doctor's wrist was only a subconscious action.

"You are really.…" Xiao Shaorong could not help but shake his head.

It could be seen that Xiao Jiu'an's guard was still up. Even though he was unconscious, he still refused to be touched by others.

"Prince, we're on the same side. Please let go." Xiao Shaorong grabbed Xiao Jiu'an's hand, and skillfully loosened Doctor Zhuge free.

"Aiyo, aiyo...! My hand, my hand!" Doctor Zhuge cried out in pain, his tears flowing, but Xiao Shaorong did not sympathize with him in the slightest. He only said coldly, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and treat the Prince."

Doctor Zhuge meditated for a long time before saying, "The Prince's vitality was damaged and his body was exhausted of its energy. Even though he had injured his internal organs, luckily he was not injured in any vital parts and can recuperate."

Doctor Zhuge retracted his hand, but halfway though this action, he suddenly stopped. His face changed greatly as he said, "No, that's not right!"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Shaorong heart, that had just relaxed, once again beat anxiously in his chest, as he asked again.

"Poison! Poison! Poison!" No one was more knowledgeable than him in whether or not the poison in Xiao Jiu'an's body was cured. In the first place, Doctor Zhuge was the one who created the medicine used to control the poison in his body.

"What about the poison? More trouble?" The fact that Xiao Shaorong was able to bring an army to find Xiao Jiu'an at this time showed that he was someone that Xiao Jiu'an trusted. It was not surprising for him to know about Xiao Jiu'an's true situation.

If it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Shaorong had a good relationship with Xiao Jiu'an, Infanta Shiqing would have never asked him, a Young Master of the Xiao Family, to be a substitute for the groom on Xiao Jiu'an's wedding day.

The Young Master of the Xiao Family was not someone that could be invited by just anyone, you know.

"No, no, no... yes, yes.…" Doctor Zhuge, when he was excited or nervous, could barely form sentences.

"What is it!?" Xiao Shaorong was not an impatient person, but he was truly worried now.

Xiao Jiu'an's life was extremely important, if anything were to happen to Xiao Jiu'an, the Yanbei Army would definitely be in chaos, even Revelation.

"Y-Yes… p-poison... the poison has been detoxified!" Doctor Zhuge shouted in excitement, and spoke incoherently: "The poison has been detoxified! The Prince is fine, and the Prince's poison has been detoxified!"

The more Doctor Zhuge thought about it, the more excited he became: "Too amazing, just too amazing! I really don't know which expert from the Apricot Forest did it, but it's really too amazing! I don't think I have the ability to cure the Prince's poison, yet I can only suppress it. However, the moment the other party made a move, his poison was cured. I wonder if you would be able to introduce me to that expert after the Prince wakes up so that I can learn a thing or two from him?"

Doctor Zhuge looked at Xiao Shaorong as if he was waiting for his answer, but Xiao Shaorong did not have the mood to bother with him.

Xiao Shaorong was not like Doctor Zhuge, who was completely immersed in medical treatment, and did not care about the real heart of the matter. He could see through things clearer than Doctor Zhuge

Last night, the poison in the Prince's body had yet to be detoxed after coming out of the palace, and last night, he and Ji Yunkai had fallen to the bottom of the mountain. Besides the traces of the two of them, there were no other traces of others in the vicinity.

How could Xiao Jiu'an's poison be cured by a Grandmaster from Apricot Forest? If he wasn't mistaken, the poison in Xiao Jiu'an's body had a connection to Ji Yunkai, or perhaps it could even be said to be Ji Yunkai's blood.

Aside from a few bamboo shoots that she had not finished eating, there was nothing else at the scene. It was impossible for Xiao Jiu'an to swallow the raw bamboo shoots, but he could swallow down Ji Yunkai's blood.

"Go see what's in those holes." However, following the principle of clarifying all of their doubts, Xiao Shaorong asked his subordinates to look at the few holes on the ground and at the same time, asked the Doctor Zhuge to treat Ji Yunkai.

Looking at Ji Yunkai's pale face, that contrasted with black spots on the right side of her face, Xiao Shaorong could not help but frown. After not seeing her for a day and a night, he felt that the black spots on Ji Yunkai's face had become even uglier. Was it his imagination?

"Yes, yes, yes." Doctor Zhuge calmed his agitated mood a little before stepping forward to treat Ji Yunkai.

At this time, the soldier that was ordered to look at the small holes on the ground had discovered that there was nothing in the hole except water droplets and leaves. He immediately shouted in joy, "Young Master Xiao, quickly come and see!"

"Water droplets?" Xiao Shaorong was not like a typical noble son who lived like a prince. The fact that he was on good terms with Xiao Jiu'an meant that he had followed a lot of troops into the battlefield.

Seeing the droplets of water on the leaf, Xiao Shaorong instantly understood.

Needless to say, these holes were dug by Ji Yunkai. Their purpose?

It was naturally to get water.

Xiao Shaorong's gaze involuntarily fell on Ji Yunkai's body. When he thought about what happened during the wedding ceremony, a hint of pity flashed past his eyes.

It was a pity that such an intelligent girl had become a sacrifice under other's authority. She had been plotted against time and time again....
