Chapter 389: A Slow Poison

Chapter 389

To prove his guess in his heart, Mo Jiuye flew up and quickly came to the front of the carriage with his light work.

Seeing the person coming, Mo Chuhan hurriedly pulled the reins.

He was about to scold the person blocking the way, but he saw a familiar face.

"Ninth younger brother."

"Eighth older brother, why are you here?"

Before Mo Jiuye could finish speaking, the carriage door was pushed open from the inside, revealing the face he had been missing day and night for a long time.

"Husband, I received Xiao Bai's letter and was worried, so I asked eighth older brother to take me to the western border."

As she spoke, He Zhiran, with her huge belly, pretended to get out of the carriage.

Mo Jiuye quickly went up to support her.

"Ranran, your body is weak. How can you travel long distances to get here?"

Mo Jiuye's words sounded like he was blaming He Zhiran for not knowing how to take care of herself, but he was actually more distressed and ashamed in his heart.

He knew his wife best. She must have heard that they had captured Mr. Si Meng and was going to the western border to rescue her father and brother. She was worried about their physical condition, so she rushed over.

As for why it was the eighth older brother who accompanied her, Mo Jiuye didn't need to ask to know.

Among the nine Mo brothers, the eighth older brother had the most straightforward and gullible personality.

His wife must have taken advantage of the eighth brother's weakness and used some method to trick him into taking her to the western border.

No matter what, his wife seemed to be fine now, which made Mo Jiuye feel a little relieved.

However, his face still looked very ugly.

He Zhiran knew that her actions had worried Mo Jiuye.

"Husband, after I received the news sent by Xiao Bai, I was worried there might be some things you couldn't resolve, so I fooled the eighth brother into taking me here."

She spoke gently, which sounded like a little wife who had done something wrong in Mo Jiuye's ears.

Mo Jiuye had been missing his wife. Seeing her like this now, even if he was angry, it would disappear.

He put his arm around He Zhiran's shoulder and looked down at her bulging belly.

"Have the children been bothering you lately? Have you been resting well?"

Seeing that Mo Jiuye was no longer angry, He Zhiran nodded vigorously.

He Zhiran knew Mo Jiuye was uncomfortable hearing this news, but she still had to explain it clearly.

"Although father is poisoned with chronic poison, the toxins have now spread to the area around the heart. You just said the Gu worms in father's body are also near the heart. If my guess is correct, once the toxins come into contact with the Gu worms, father will die immediately.

His current frail state has a lot to do with the poisoning."

"Ranran, is there any good way?" Mo Jiuye's eyes turned bloodshot as he tightly grasped He Zhiran's arm.

At this question, He Zhiran couldn't answer yet. Father's condition was not very optimistic. Although she still couldn't determine how close the Gu worms and toxins were to each other, judging by father's current condition, he was not suitable for immediate surgery to remove the Gu.

But if the Gu worms were not removed, she worried that they would fuse with the toxins, which would be the same as taking his life directly.

"Husband, I need to bring father into the space to examine him carefully before I can give you accurate results."

Mo Jiuye subconsciously looked outside the carriage.

"I'll arrange it right away."

His wife's space was a huge secret. Entering it on this official road must be done without any flaws.

As he spoke, Mo Jiuye had already jumped off the carriage. He Zhiran didn't hear clearly what he said to several older brothers, and then the carriage slowly started moving.

The carriage swayed for about half an hour before finally stopping.

Mo Jiuye opened the carriage door and came up again.

Through the gap, He Zhiran could see that they had left the official road. Based on the surrounding environment, they should be in the woods near the official road.

"Ranran, it's safe here. I've also informed my older brothers. They won't disturb you."

Mo Jiuye had arranged everything. There was no time to delay. He pulled Mo Qing and He Zhiran into the space together.

She gave Mo Qing a full physical examination.

The results were slightly better than she had imagined.

Through modern medical observation, the chronic poison Mo Qing had was in a state of sticking to the arterial wall.

The toxins did not move randomly with the blood circulation, but progressed in a very regular direction.

This direction was the heart. In other words, her initial judgment was completely correct.

Once the toxins came into contact with the Gu worms near the heart, Mo Qing would come to the end of his life.

He Zhiran had heard of this kind of chronic poison in her previous life. People had tried to use this toxin to treat cerebral hemorrhage patients, but multiple clinical trials failed and it was abandoned.

Since medical professionals in the previous life chose to use this toxin to treat patients, there must be a way to detoxify it.

If she remembered correctly, there was a special serum that could specifically restrain this toxin.
