Chapter 303
Nalan Jingwen's face darkened and looked very unpleasant. He didn't look at him again and turned to stride towards Anian.
"Your Highness! Where is the doctor?! Go find the doctor!!"
Xiao Congyu held Anian tightly, shouting himself hoarse.
Nalan Jingwen walked to her side and squatted down to check A-Nian's pulse. His expression became increasingly solemn. The wound was still bleeding, and soon the fabric over her abdomen was stained dark red.
But she dared not press his acupoints to stop the bleeding; his veins were too thin, and doing so would only hasten his death.
"What should we do, Miss? Will His Highness be alright?"
Xiao Congyu was completely at a loss and could only place all his hopes on Nalan Jingwen. Because of A Nian's special constitution, they did not even dare to give him medicine rashly.
Nalan Jingwen didn't speak, but looked at the weak and bloodless Anian with a stern face. Finally, he picked her up and quickly walked towards the carriage.
"Go find a doctor. If you can't find one, bring me your head."
Her voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.
"Yes."
In an instant, all the servants present vanished from the ground without a trace.
Aman watched Nalan Jingwen's retreating figure, lost in thought. After a moment's consideration, she followed him.
Just as they walked over, Nalan Jingwen said, "Send someone ahead to check if there are any inns to stay in. Be quick."
Xiao Congyu nodded quickly and went to give the instructions.
Aman glanced at Xiao Congyu, who looked anxious, and then turned her gaze to A'nian in Nalan Jingwen's arms.
The atmosphere was heavy and tense, so oppressive that it was almost suffocating.
It's clear that the boy must be extremely important.
Nalan Jingwen was bandaging A Nian's wound. The wound was not deep and not fatal, but A Nian's constitution was too special. This small wound alone was enough to kill him.
Nalan Jingwen had already noticed her arrival, but he didn't have time to speak to her. Aman leaned against the carriage, watching coldly, and suddenly spoke up, "He's going to die, don't waste your energy, you can't save him."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Congyu, who had just walked over, immediately felt a surge of anger and rushed over to grab her by the collar, furious.
"You bastard! What nonsense are you spouting?!"
Ah Man simply stared at the furious Xiao Congyu, her eyes devoid of any emotion, and did not attempt to free herself from Xiao Congyu's grasp by the collar. "I was just stating the facts, why are you so angry?"
"Even if he hadn't been injured, he would have died tonight."
wow-
The sound of the porcelain bottle shattering was particularly crisp and abrupt in the darkness. Aman looked towards the source of the sound and saw Nalan Jingwen with white powder constantly leaking from between his fingers, exuding a low aura. She raised her eyebrows slightly.
Seemingly oblivious to Nalan Jingwen's grim expression, she continued, "Leaving aside the fact that his body was destined to die young, didn't you notice he was poisoned?"
After saying that, Xiao Congyu looked surprised and turned to look at Anian in disbelief.
"His pulse was already weak, which is normal. You didn't notice it just now and thought it was just a common injury. But how could a common injury cause someone to fall into a coma so quickly?"
"He's been poisoned. It looks like it's been going on for a while. If you don't believe me, look at his chest. Are there red and black lines like vines? If it's any later, they'll spread all over his body, and he'll definitely die."
At this moment, Nalan Jingwen no longer cared about the difference between men and women, and directly tore off his clothes, revealing his body.
But that pale, thin chest was now covered with large patches of black and red lines that stretched out like vines, looking ferocious and terrifying, as if they were constantly draining the life force from the body's owner.
Xiao Congyu clearly saw it too, and his face instantly turned pale. "How is this possible?!"
Ah Man straightened his slightly wrinkled collar and said calmly, "This poison is no ordinary poison. It is not only rare, but also incurable. That person was willing to go to such lengths to kill him."
She clicked her tongue twice, as if in admiration.
She was present during the conversation between Changsheng and Nalan Jingwen, so she naturally understood what was going on.
Xiao Congyu looked at Nalan Jingwen and said urgently, "Impossible! Apart from me and Miss, no one can get close to His Highness! Even if he wanted to poison someone, there would be no chance!"
Ah Man glanced at her, "What did you feed him today?"
"He only drank one bowl of medicine, and that was it!"
Ah Nian hasn't been able to eat anything for the past two days, and can only eat a handful of foods.
Xiao Congyu's voice stopped abruptly, his eyes widening as if he had realized something.
"The problem lies with that medicine."
Ah Man spoke slowly, seemingly oblivious to Xiao Congyu's pale and unsightly face.
Xiao Congyu wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a way to do so.
Ah Nian only drank one bowl of medicine from beginning to end.
And that bowl of medicine was brewed at her instruction to the waiter...
Nalan Jingwen straightened A-Nian's clothes, looked up at her with a sharp gaze, as if a sword was about to pierce her.
"But His Highness was perfectly fine after drinking it..."
"That's the mystery of this poison. It's called Shi Fu. It's colorless and odorless, precious and extremely rare. If you eat it normally, it won't harm the human body. It will only make you feel cold. Other than that, it has no other effect."
"But if it is catalyzed, it becomes highly poisonous, frantically draining all the life force of the poisoned person. No one in the world can cure this poison."
Ah Man paused, took a deep breath, and suddenly said, "Can't you smell this fragrance?"
Xiao Congyu was stunned, and murmured, "What..."
"This is the catalyst for catalytic release!"
Nalan Jingwen's expression hardened, his eyes filled with dark, turbulent emotions, and his hands clenched into fists, the veins on the back of his hands standing out.
This fragrance appeared with the arrival of Changsheng. She was always accompanied by flowers and beautiful women whenever she appeared, so it was not surprising at all. Therefore, from beginning to end, Nalan Jingwen never suspected that there was anything wrong with the fragrance.
But ironically, the biggest problem is that there are no problems!
Ah Man glanced back at the waiter lying on the ground not far away, and then said, "That waiter has internal energy, but it's sealed, so you can't tell. She looks no different from an ordinary person. If you want to unseal it, you need an antidote. So, guess what the antidote is?"
She spoke casually, as if she were watching a play, and even had the mood to ask questions.
"It smells good."
A cold, deep voice rang out, and Nalan Jingwen lowered his eyes, looking at the person in his arms whose life was constantly slipping away.
"Guessed it right!"
Everything is clear.
This is why the waiter, despite having no internal energy, was able to escape from the servants' suppression and thus stab Anian.
The incense that Changsheng brought was the antidote to unsealing her inner strength.
That waiter was indeed a scholar, but who says scholars can't fight? Her weapon was the pen in her hand.
This is why the location of the thick calluses on her hands is different from that of ordinary people who know kung fu.
She was the one who caused the explosion, her purpose being to force them out of the inn.
The wind was strong at night, and the air circulated, allowing the fragrance brought by the longevity to spread more quickly. It not only unsealed the internal energy but also catalyzed the release of energy within Anian's body.
Even Changsheng's words were merely a delaying tactic to allow Shifu to catalyze the process more thoroughly. She even anticipated that Nalan Jingwen would pursue her, which is why she had Xiao Er assassinate Anian, forcing Nalan Jingwen to return out of concern for Anian and thus abandon his pursuit of her.
They even predicted that they would settle here.
It was a brilliant strategy, meticulously planned and executed. It was truly a grand scheme, and everyone who saw it would praise it as a brilliant plan.
She actually went to such lengths to kill Anian.
No wonder she spoke with such confidence.
So that’s it.
