Feng Qi's diagnosis was not bad. The black spots on her face could absorb poison, and although Ji Yunkai was poisoned, after soaking in the medicinal bath, she was fine. It was just that...

Strangely, after the black spots on Ji Yunkai's face thickened, not only did she not become ugly, but she became even more good-looking.

Only now did she realize how beautiful their Princess Consort was. She was even more beautiful than when she was wearing a mask.

"That's not it. Look at the face of the Princess. It seems different." Baoqin shook her head. She pointed at Ji Yunkai's right cheek, but she did not dare touch it.

That poison was something that could take a person's life.

There was a difference between males and females. Although Little Doctor Zhuge was not a pedantic person, he would usually not casually stare at Ji Yunkai. After Baoqin mentioned it, he could not help but go forward to take a look. The expression on Little Doctor Zhuge's face instantly changed, he said, "Not good, the poison in the Princess Consort's body is about to reach its limit."

"Wha-What?" Baoqin did not understand, but she knew that this was not a good thing.

"Sir Feng Qi said so before. Although the Princess Consort is not afraid of poison, the poison in her body must be removed as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the poison accumulates, the Princess Consort will die. You see... That black poison had made the skin on the Princess Consort's face look much thinner."

It was because of this that the black spots were so translucent.

"Then... then what should we do?" Hearing that the Princess Consort would die, Baoqin felt an inexplicable sense of sadness in her heart.

The Princess was a very good woman. She had been serving the Princess for the past few days and knew better than anyone how good she was. Even if someone treated her badly, she would not complain or hate them.

"Send the Princess Consort to Sky Doctor Valley. Only Sir Feng Qi can save her." The reason why Sir Feng Qi had not left for a long time was so that he could persuade His Highness to allow the Esteemed Consort to go to Sky Doctor Valley for treatment. Unfortunately, Sir Feng Qi had waited for a long time and still did not manage to meet His Highness.

"To Sky Doctor Valley? Impossible... His Highness will not agree." Baoqin grew up in Prince Yanbei's Mansion, and she knew the Prince's personality better than anyone else.

The Prince would never let his wife leave, even if he did not like her at all.

"Even if he doesn't agree, he will still have to agree. Unless the Prince wishes for the death of the Princess Consort." Little Doctor Zhuge glanced at Ji Yunkai with a darkened face before turning around to leave, "I'll go beg His Highness."

He wanted the Prince to agree. Someone like the Princess should not die so early, let alone die like this. This was too unfair to the Princess.

Little Doctor Zhuge directly barged into Xiao Jiu'an's study, and for the first time, fearlessly met Xiao Jiu'an's ice-cold eyes. "My Prince, this lowly one has a request of you."

The guard followed closely behind Little Doctor Zhuge with an awkward expression.

Of course, they could stop him, but the expression on Little Doctor Zhuge's face was too scary, especially his red eyes. They looked as though they were about to devour a person. Before they could react, Little Doctor Zhuge had already barged in.

They could drag them out, but...

Little Doctor Zhuge was very thin and weak, and they did not dare to make any heavy moves. What if they killed him by accident?

If they killed Little Doctor Zhuge, no one would know how to create the antidote for the poison from the Southern Wilderness.

"All of you, leave." Xiao Jiu'an ordered expressionlessly. After the guards left, his gaze coldly swept toward Little Doctor Zhuge, "Request for This King? This is the attitude of you requesting of others? "

*Plop!* Little Doctor Zhuge did not hesitate at all as he directly knelt in front of Xiao Jiu'an and said, "My Prince, the poison on the Princess Consort's face has already reached its limit. I hope Your Highness can send her to Sky Doctor Valley, or else she'll die."

"Eating the herbs from the Southern Wilderness, was it your idea or Ji Yunkai's?" Xiao Jiu'an did not answer but asked a question instead.

"Y-Yes, it was my idea." Little Doctor Zhuge would never lie. He would stutter whenever he lied.

Who is Xiao Jiu'an? He did not need to look to know that Little Doctor Zhuge was lying, "This King wants to hear the truth!"

"Yes, it was suggested by the Princess. I agreed as well." Little Doctor Zhuge was helpless and could only answer truthfully.

"This King's Consort is very good!" Xiao Jiu'an spoke coldly and with a calm tone. But, the last two words made his tone even more serious, fully expressing his anger.

"Your... Your Highness?" Little Doctor Zhuge did not know why the Prince was so angry. Looking at Xiao Jiu'an with a puzzled face, he heard Xiao Jiu'an say in an ice-cold voice, "Tell Ji Yunkai not to play tricks in front of This King. She still doesn't have enough ability."

He thought Ji Yunkai was so stupid for throwing away her life to find the antidote, but he did not think that she would be so petty. Her courage was not that big.

"Your Highness!" Little Doctor Zhuge was stunned; he did not understand what Xiao Jiu'an meant.

Why did the Prince seem so angry?

"Just tell Ji Yunkai the truth. She will understand your words." Xiao Jiu'an knew very well how "innocent" Little Doctor Zhuge was. It was normal for him to not understand it, but Ji Yunkai would.

Of course, Ji Yunkai would understand. When she woke up and heard what Xiao Jiu'an had asked Little Doctor Zhuge to tell her, she touched the black spots on her right cheek and smiled bitterly, "I still can't do it."

This suffering could be considered as a waste.

Seeing that Ji Yunkai was not angry, but instead smiling, Little Doctor Zhuge was puzzled. "Princess, what are you and the Prince talking about?

"It's fine if you don't understand, but is there any progress with the new formula?" Ji Yunkai did not wish for Little Doctor Zhuge to know about this mess and naturally changed the topic.

As expected, the moment that the medicinal formula was mentioned, Little Doctor Zhuge forgot about what happened just now and said excitedly, "Esteemed Consort, your train of thought is very normal. As expected, only medicinal herbs from the Southern Wilderness can cure the poison. Yesterday, I used those medicinal herbs from the Southern Wilderness to create a new prescription. The new formula's effects are better than the previous one, so after a few tries, I estimate that I'll be able to find the prescription."

"That's good. I remember that there are still a few more medicinal plants that I haven't tried out yet. Wait until I'm better, and then we'll go. We can also plant some of the other medicinal herbs as well." It did not matter if she could not get away with it, as long as she can create the antidote.

The most pressing matter at hand was still the Phoenix Pendant, so the poison on her face could wait.
