Yu Xing looked surprised. "How did Princess know?"
"I took his pulse tonight. Is there anything I don't know?" So he was indeed poisoned!
"What exactly happened? His martial arts are so powerful, he couldn't have been easily ambushed! How did he get poisoned?"
Yu Xing glanced at her, seeming hesitant.
Finally, she told the truth:
"Before we left the imperial city, the Young Master's health had not been good, and he was seriously injured..."
She couldn't help but look at Chu Qianli again, her gaze carrying a hint of resentment.
"Princess, you caused this injury."
"Mr. Liu Jin said that the Young Master's body was injured, and his heart was even more so. He refused to wake up, and his vital energy was greatly depleted."
"During that time, the Venerable Master guarded him, and Feng Ling played the flute to comfort and calm him. Later, when the Young Master woke up, he was like a different person, colder and more reticent than before."
"After that, Princess was confined by Prince Hao, and through a twist of fate, you left the imperial city for Nanming. The Young Master woke up and heard... heard about the Heaven and Earth Lock. The Venerable Master then ordered him to come to Nanming to search for the Heaven and Earth Lock."
After all, this was no secret. The Heaven and Earth Lock appearing in Nanming was known to everyone.
Yu Xing no longer concealed anything.
"Unexpectedly, before leaving the imperial city, the Venerable Master was attacked by medicine people..."
"Were they really medicine people attacking her?" Chu Qianli frowned.
So, her guess that the medicine people had more than one master behind them was true?
And that medicine person legion clearly had more than one branch.
However, one branch was related to Hua Rong, which Feng Ye Xuan might not know.
"It was to save your Venerable Master, so he was poisoned?" Chu Qianli asked.
Yu Xing knew these things were not to be spoken of, but in Yu Xing's heart, their Princess had always been only Chu Qianli.
Now this Feng Ling... bah! She was nothing, just a vixen!
"That's right. To save the Venerable Master, the Young Master was poisoned. Mr. Liu Jin could have cured the poison, but the Young Master's injuries were too numerous."
"At that time, the Young Master was in critical condition. Feng Ling proposed to use the Venerable Master's blood as a medicinal guide to help the Young Master recover."
"At first, Mr. Liu Jin disagreed. It was unheard of for a relative's blood to be used as a medicinal guide; those were just popular legends. But the Venerable Master insisted on trying, and the Young Master truly recovered."
"And he recovered very quickly. The next day, he was able to depart with Princess's team for Nanming."
"That magical?" Even Chu Qianli did not agree with using a relative's blood as a medicinal guide.
Ancient books did record such things, but they were folk tales with no scientific basis.
He actually recovered?
Wasn't there something fishy about this?
"He did recover, but..." Yu Xing paused, seemingly wanting to say more but hesitating.
"If there's a secret or something difficult to say that you don't want to talk about, I won't force you."
Chu Qianli glanced at her. This face might bear scars in the future, after all, these martial generals were constantly fighting, how would they cherish their faces?
However, it was a pity for such a fair and clean-faced girl.
"Take this medicine back. If you still want to salvage your face, remember to apply a little to it every night before you sleep."
Chu Qianli handed the medicine to Yu Xing.
Yu Xing took it, her heart filled with turmoil.
Seeing Chu Qianli turn away, as if she no longer intended to press further, Yu Xing couldn't help but say, "After the treatment that night, the Prince became unable to do without Feng Ling's flute music."
