Chapter 16: Ben Wang Believes in Her
Because of His Majesty and Her Highness’s arrivals, Su Qi Qi still stayed in the main courtyard of the Wang fu, but had stopped testing out medicines and also had stopped giving acupuncture.
Though Leng Yan and Lei Yu Feng were worried to the point that they were stomping around in anxiety, there was nothing they could do about it, their hands were bound.
All the other prominent doctors completely lacked the means. Especially the fact that even the nation master in the Imperial Palace who had manufactured the poison couldn’t compound an antidote for it made Mo Wen Xuan feel even more reassured.
After sightseeing in the Magnetic Capital for a few more days, they prepared to head back to the Capital City.
Already close to going crazy from the start, Hua Qian Zi, who watched Su Qi Qi’s status in the Wang fu increase with each passing day was even more impatient.
But, no one cared about her mood.
On the contrary, it was Mo Wen Xuan’s parting words that made Mo Wen Chen treat Su Qi Qi even more coldly.
In one month, Mo Wen Chen must personally accompany Su Qi Qi to return to Xiang fu in the Imperial City, to visit Su Qi Qi’s mother.
Even though it wasn’t an imperial edict, it was still the words personally spoken by the Emperor, not to mention it was a vast act of benevolence from the emperor, no one would dare to go against it.
“There’s only a month’s worth of time.”
Mo Wen Chen looked at Su Qi Qi, it was all because of her that such a thing occurred.
This was another finishing blow by Mo Wen Xuan to push her towards her grave.
“Yes.” Su Qi Qi nodded.
Looking at Su Qi Qi whose expression did not change to reflect the slightest bit of sorrow or joy, Mo Wen Chen actually felt admiration from the bottom of his heart.
And unconsciously stared at Su Qi Qi for a pause longer. Su Qi Qi, who had changed into a white colored garment, was only left with a quiet graceful air.
It actually gave people a neat and tidy impression, and shone in their eyes.
Su Qi Qi continued to test medicine, test poison, give acupuncture. It was a good thing that His Majesty and Her Highness weren’t used to staying here, because compared to the Imperial Palace, the circumstances were still as different as heaven and earth.
And Mo Wen Chen’s body, if she didn’t give acupuncture soon, the poison would start to spread again.
Lei Yu Feng, hugging his shoulders, paced back and forth in Mo Wen Chen’s room. His facial color was bad. He was anxious, anxious to the point that he didn’t know what to do.
“Can that woman really do it?”
Lei Yu Feng couldn’t help doubting, after all, there was not much time left.
The moment they set out to head to the Capital City, would spell the end for Mo Wen Chen, who would probably end up crippled his whole life.
“Ben wang believes in her.” Mo Wen Chen faintly smiled and was somewhat a little less cold. In Lei Yu Feng’s presence he would always joke around.
“You……” Lei Yu Feng lifted his eyes to look at Mo Wen Cheng, then, the corner of his mouth curled, ruminatively looked at Mo Wen Chen: “You’ve fallen for her?”
“Get lost.” Mo Wen Chen snarled.
A month’s worth of time was seriously too little for Su Qi Qi, she wasn’t some kind of medicine god.
After thinking for three entire days, Su Qi Qi finally decided to risk her body to find the cure, and this was the only thing she could do.
Unhurriedly walking into Mo Wen Chen’s room, Su Qi Qi face was full of determination: “Wang ye, I need your blood.”
Most people were incapable of accepting this method. It was just that Su Qi Qi truly had no way to find the antidote through experimentation. She had pretty much tried out all the medicines she knew. Following the theory of the medicine natures, chemical makeups and poison resistances, she had already mixed countless antidotes.
But there was no way to know the effect of the medicine.
Su Qi Qi’s appearance was tranquil and cold. Mo Wen Chen lifted his head to stare at her for quite a long time, wanting to see something from her face, but Mo Wen Chen was a bit disappointed. It seems like the current Su Qi Qi was much more unperturbed compared to when she had first entered Wang fu.
People, in the end, do change.
“Alright.” Not asking why, Mo Wen Chen nodded.
“What do you need it for?” Lei Yu Feng unexpectedly took a step forward. In normal circumstances he wouldn’t speak out of turn, but he didn’t understand this Su Qi Qi’s action.
“Testing medicine.” Su Qi Qi replied bluntly.
Even if it’s taking a risk she has to do this, she doesn’t have time left.
In fact, she does want to go back to the Capital City to see her mother, just that this also made Mo Wen Chen get caught in danger.
All of this, since it started because of her, then using her own body to experiment is something she ought to do.
Even if it’s not because of her, if she can’t cure Mo Wen Chen, she won’t be able to live either.
Thinking to here, she tugged her lips, full of self-mocking.
This expression didn’t escape Mo Wen Chen’s eyes. But, the latter acted as if he didn’t see anything.
