Chapter 148 Do you want to die or live?
With no other option, he vented all his anger on Qi Zexuan in front of him, kicking him hard twice.
Everyone wants to seduce his master. When did the little dwarf become such a hot commodity?
Qi Zexuan felt weak all over, dizzy, had chest tightness, and felt nauseous.
Mo Baiyun did not inflict any further physical harm on him, but the poison was indeed real.
After leaving the mansion, they even dressed Qi Zexuan in fine clothes and jewelry, and sent him to Wu Chengye's mansion by carriage.
Meanwhile, Qi Ersu and his entourage, who had been secretly following them, also went to the Second Princess's residence.
They thought it was some kind of scheme by their prince, and had no idea that he had been poisoned.
Afterwards, Mo Baiyun went to the inn on the street where they often stayed and left a bag of antidote.
At that time, Huang Ziliang will be able to easily subdue him with just a little effort.
His position will be more secure in the Second Princess's residence, after all, he saved the life of a prince from a neighboring country, which is a great achievement.
The spies at the Second Princess's residence knew that the visitor was Qi Zexuan, but they did not expect him to be so blatant in coming to the residence.
Fortunately, Wu Chengye was also in the mansion at this time, and he had already seen Qi Zexuan's portrait.
She had only sketched five-tenths of his good looks, but she had long wanted to see his true face.
She was instantly captivated by his face; everyone loves a beautiful person.
This breathtaking character is a rare find in the world, and Wu Chengye was completely mesmerized.
Huang Ziliang knew exactly what she was thinking, so he leaned down and whispered something in her ear.
Wu Chengye immediately adopted a look that said, "Only you understand me."
"Come here, serve some tea."
"Your Highness, my sister will be entering the capital soon. If she doesn't die here, then I will be the one to die here."
"Moreover, I was ambushed by Wu Ziyan, and I still don't know what kind of poison I was poisoned with."
"What! You were ambushed by her, that shorty?"
It's embarrassing to say, but it's an undeniable fact.
Huang Ziliang knew that Wu Ziyan must have had her reasons for sending him to the Second Princess's residence.
They probably figured he would tell the second princess that he was poisoned, so the teahouse and inn must have the antidote.
"Your Highness Chengye, the matter of Prince Zexuan being poisoned is of utmost importance; we must find an antidote as soon as possible."
"I read books in my spare time and know some pharmacology. When I go out, I've heard that there are several renowned doctors in the capital. Why don't I find one to take a look?"
"Summon the imperial physician!"
The physician was carrying a medicine chest, and fine beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead.
His biggest fear was taking Wu Chengye's pulse; every time, he felt like he was going to work with his head in his hands.
He entered with trepidation, not even daring to look Wu Chengye in the eye.
Upon hearing that she was treating the man next to her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
But when they took her pulse, her brows furrowed repeatedly. What kind of pulse was this? Was she poisoned?
One moment it's the sound of drumbeats, the next it's like a jumble of strings.
Then she seemed to be in a daze, licking her lips, swallowing her saliva, and wiping her sweat, but she just wouldn't speak.
"He's mute! Since he can't speak, there's no point in keeping his tongue!"
"Your Highness, spare my life! This young master has been poisoned by something; please forgive my incompetence!"
"Useless! Get out!" The physician scrambled away.
"Please describe the symptoms, Your Highness Zexuan."
Qi Zexuan poured out all his thoughts and feelings.
It turns out that the drug Mo Baiyun administered contained some aphrodisiac ingredients.
He wanted to have more sex, but the more he did, the weaker his body became, and he eventually died from exhaustion of his vital energy.
Huang Ziliang had only read a little bit about medicine, and he needed a perfect explanation to get the antidote.
At this point, it seems the only option is to involve Han Yuxiu.
After having dinner that evening, Wu Chengye went out and went to the Prime Minister's residence.
They told the Prime Minister about Qi Zexuan's situation, but they couldn't openly find a doctor for him right now.
That would be openly colluding with Xiao Rong; we can't let him die in the princess's residence.
The solution they discussed was to wait another night while they searched for a doctor in the countryside; they couldn't let him die.
When he returned, Wu Chengye looked worried and sighed repeatedly.
At this moment, she gave an order to someone in the shadows to bring Hu Hai and Hu Yang to her.
However, they didn't avoid mentioning Huang Ziliang when they were summoned, but Huang Ziliang trembled when he heard those two names.
These are the two people he's looking for!
Although the two of them were somewhat unreliable, they were Wu Chengye's right-hand men and, when it came to doing serious work, they were quite capable.
The two hadn't seen Wu Chengye for a long time, as there hadn't been anything important for them to do recently.
They were quite surprised to be summoned. The two hurriedly packed their things and went to see Wu Chengye.
They didn't arrive quickly; about an hour had passed before they saw them. The two men knelt down and greeted them.
Wu Chengye pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingertips and recounted what had happened to them again.
The two looked at each other. They lived in the shadows, so finding witch doctors, ghost doctors, and secret healers was a piece of cake for them.
Huang Ziliang watched the two of them coldly from the side.
The two of them would glance at Huang Ziliang every now and then, wondering what kind of person this man was, that he could be involved in such an important matter next to Wu Chengye!
Suddenly their eyes met, and Huang Ziliang's eyes darted around as a plan formed in his mind.
This time, he's going to make sure they never leave alive!
As night fell, the effects of the drug on Qi Zexuan became increasingly unbearable, and his clothes became disheveled and disheveled.
I never expected Wu Ziyan to give him such a despicable drug!
After seeing Wu Chengye off, Huang Ziliang approached Qi Zexuan alone.
Qi Zexuan sized up the person in front of him. As for his appearance, it was barely acceptable to him.
But he still maintained his arrogant demeanor, not even glancing at Huang Ziliang, and asked, "You're Wu Chengye's dog, what business do you have with me?"
"You have been poisoned, and it is extremely difficult to cure. I do have a method. You can bleed, and I will drink the blood. If I am also poisoned, Your Highness will have a reason to call a doctor."
This sounds like a good idea, but it's still a sensitive issue between men.
You can tell that Huang Ziliang and Wu Chengye have absolutely no feelings for each other, so why are they helping her so wholeheartedly!
"What's your purpose?"
"Just tell me, do you want to die, or do you want to live?"
Who doesn't want to live?
He squinted, trying to see through Huang Ziliang, but he always felt that Huang was wearing a mask.
"I'll have to trouble Your Highness Zexuan to tell His Highness Chengye about this. I've tested the poison on myself, and my loyalty is evident! Also, please write a few words for me."
Qi Zexuan filled a bowl with blood, but Huang Ziliang simply took it away without drinking it.
It wasn't until the next night that Huang Ziliang got up early and found out where Hu Hai lived.
