Chapter 134 - You Must Save Her

Mo Junyang sat on the bedside expressionlessly in silence and didn’t have any reaction.

Shen Luo waited for a long while and Mo Junyang still didn’t speak. He guessed that Mo Junyang was badly upset and asked cautiously, “Junyang, are…are you all right?”

He was too scared to make a sentence.

Mo Junyang finally raised his head and his eyes were calm. He said coldly, “Save her.”

“I said the Lethal Seven…” There was no antidote.

Under the man’s horrible eyes, Shen Luo didn’t dare to speak out the last desperate words. After thinking for a while, he continued hesitantly, “My master once studied the Lethal Seven and tried to produce the antidote…”

“Give it to me.” Mo Junyang stretched out his hand directly.

Shen Luo was unable to speak a word.

Mo Junyang’s abnormal reaction almost drove Shen Luo crazy. Who gave that calm Mo Junyang back to him!

Shen Luo took a deep breath and prevented himself from going ballistic. But he had to explain gloomily, “I said that it was my master who studied it, not me. Can’t you hear me? Mo Junyang, calm down, okay? How can you save Shi Qingxue if you behave like this?”

Mo Junyang fell into silence again, but nobody knew if he showed a cold expression to resist the truth Shen Luo told him or to estimate the situation.

After a long time, he spoke again. “You said the poison would attack in at least seven days, right?” He became serene as usual.

Shen Luo had guessed what Mo Junyang was thinking about and nodded after hesitating for a while. “Right, but I don’t have the antidote at hand, and I don’t even know where the formulation is.”

Mo Junyang gazed at the sleeping girl and ordered in a hoarse voice, “All the medical books from the Mang Mountain are in the mansion. I will allow you to study in the Love Xue House. I need to see the antidote within seven days.”

Shen Luo wanted to say that he knew nothing about the poison Lethal Seven and how could he make the antidote within seven days?

But looking at Mo Junyang’s tensed handsome face, he had to agree. “Okay! I am going to check the books and see if my master left some clues. And I have several pills for detoxification. They can’t remove the Lethal Seven thoroughly, but they can delay it. Don’t worry too much…”

He patted Mo Junyang’s shoulder and found that he was still sitting there unmoved, so he asked in curiosity, “What do you plan to do?”

Mo Junyang stared at Shi Qingxue lying in bed for a long time and then leaned down, kissing her lightly on the forehead. He said in a deep and gentle voice, “Don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to you. I promise. Wait for me. Understand?”

Shen Luo was speechless and had goosebumps all over his body because of this gentle voice.

“Mo Junyang, you’d better be mentally prepared.” The Lethal Seven was not as simple as Mo Junyang imagined. And Shen Luo had never seen this poison. He could do nothing but try his best and listen to God.

Mo Junyang snorted and glanced at Shen Luo coldly. “Do you think I have only one doctor?”

“…Can you say that behind my back?” Shen Luo expressed gloomily. He didn’t have the sense of achievement as a miracle-working doctor in front of Mo Junyang. How could he go on?

At the moment, a servant rushed in from outside.

“Your Excellency, Duke Shi and his wife came to ask for the three ladies of the Shi Family and wanted to see you. King Rui is not at home, and Butler Liu told them to wait in the living room. Please receive them.”

Shen Luo calculated the time and tut-tutted. “You brought Shi Qingxue back only less than one hour ago, and the Shi Family came here. Obviously, somebody told them earlier.”

Mo Junyang leered at Shen Luo and said coldly, “Mind your own business. The only thing you have to do is develop the antidote as soon as possible.”

“Gee. You are so capable. Her parents came to take her back home. Would you trap her here…” While speaking, he suddenly found something wrong. “Three ladies, but only Shi Qingxue is here.”

Wei Zichao simply told Shen Luo what had happened in the prison, and the latter looked joyful, saying, “The Lethal Seven couldn’t have appeared for no reason. You locked up all the people in the prison and there might be more Lethal Seven inside. If…”

He babbled on and on excitedly. Before he finished speaking, he raised his head but didn’t find Mo Junyang.

“Where is he?” Was he kidding? Shen Luo tried every means to remove the poison for Shi Qingxue, but Mo Junyang had left.

Doctor Shen expressed his resentment.

Wei Zichao hurriedly defended his master. “My master has gone to the prison and said if you need something, just tell me to do, Doctor Shen.”

“Oh? What about the two people in the living room?” Shen Luo looked at the guard who came to report and still waited here, but Mo Junyang had ignored him.

“Butler Liu let them in, so he should receive them.” Wei Zichao was not smart, but he had been working for Mo Junyang for long and knew about his master’s thoughts.

“Fine!” Shen Luo initially wanted to advise Mo Junyang. After all, the two in the living room were special to Shi Qingxue.

But the master and servant didn’t care about them, so Shen Luo didn’t want to meddle but concentrated on Shi Qingxue’s condition.

He turned to the girl lying in bed. Shi Qingxue’s face was fair-skinned and ruddy. Her arched brows were like the new moon, and her lips were as red as the cherry. She looked like the sleeping beauty in dream. She was not as gorgeous and charming as she had been when she was awake, but she was still attractive in a different way.

“You are a beauty for sure. No wonder Junyang is so besotted with you.” Shen Luo took out a pill for detoxification from his pocket and put it in Shi Qingxue’s mouth. Then he let her swallow it with a special method and couldn’t help but praise in a low voice.

It happened that Wei Zichao carrying a bunch of medical books into the room heard it. The guard looked back subconsciously and confirmed that his master hadn’t come back. Then he heaved a sigh of relief and said to Shen Luo in a hurry, “Doctor Shen, don’t say something like that. If my master hears, it will be a disaster.”

If Mo Junyang knew that somebody “coveted” Shi Qingxue, he would go ballistic.

Could he say that praising the beauty was not coveting? King Rui’s angry heir wouldn’t care.

Shen Luo smiled complacently and moved closer to Shi Qingxue on purpose under Wei Zichao’s glare, saying playfully, “Your master begged me to save her and wouldn’t be willing to kill me!”

Wei Zichao knew that the miracle-working doctor was fearless because of his excellent skills. He couldn’t win the argument and had to secretly decide to tell his master vividly every word the doctor had said after he came back.

“Fine. I won’t kid you!” Shen Luo didn’t dare to go too far. Mo Junyang could definitely burn the bridge after crossing it. The doctor didn’t want to be the bridge.

After joking with Wei Zichao, Shen Luo took the medical books and read them one by one.

Wei Zichao watched aside for more than one hour and found that Shen Luo didn’t make a conclusion after checking the books one after another. He worked as a supervisor for his master seriously. “Doctor Shen, you have read for so long. Do you have a way to save Lady Qingxue?”

Shen Luo didn’t raise his head. “No.”

Wei Zichao was unable to reply. It was his first time to see a doctor who couldn’t cure a patient but was so bold and straightforward.

Maybe Wei Zichao’s complaint in his heart was too strong, or the Lethal Seven was too difficult to deal with. Shen Luo who always couldn’t come back to earth when he was reading put down the book and rubbed his forehead tiredly, explaining, “There must be no ways to remove the Lethal Seven on common medical books. My master once studied this poison, and he would have left some records no matter whether he succeeded or failed. I am looking for those notes.”

These medical books were all medical classics left by Shen Luo’s late master.

Wei Zichao was stunned for a while and soon understood. “Do you want me to check the books with you?”

Shen Luo showed a faint smile. “You are not stupid.”

Before Wei Zichao got complacent, Shen Luo concealed his smile and ordered indifferently, “Since you know that, why don’t you sit down and check now? Do you want me to beg you?”

Wei Zichao was silent.

As expected, anyone who could make friends with Mo Junyang was not a good person.

In the prison.

“Ah! No!”

The screams came one after another. The architecture of the prison was well sound-proofing, and the sounds couldn’t be heard outside.

The miserable screeches resounded in the prison and all the people inside got goose bumps.

Mo Junyang sat outside the room in the prison and looked at the person inside who was almost dumb after screaming too much. Then he waved his hand and stopped the beating. “Aren’t you going to say?”

Shi Baojin in the room was beaten up, with blood all over her body. Except her belly they avoided, there was no complete skin on her body. She curled up like a blood ball.

She was scared by Mo Junyang’s cold voice and trembled. Then she raised her head and begged, “I don’t know anything. I didn’t poison Shi Qingxue. Even if you beat me to death, I don’t know.”

Shi Baojin cried and quivered. Her voice was sad and desperate, but it was sincere.

The guard, Wei Ziye who tortured her saw that and glanced at Mo Junyang, feeling nonplussed. “Master, it appears that she didn’t lie. Perhaps it was not her who did it. How about I ask the prison guards on duty?”

After all, Shi Qingxue was attacked from behind indeed, but not only Shi Baojin was behind her, and Shi Baoning and Shi Baoyou had been standing behind Qingxue. Logically, Shi Baojin was the last suspicious. She had been kept in prison for long and should have been searched. She couldn’t have hidden the poison.

Mo Junyang leered at Shi Baojin and thought for a second. Then he agreed with Wei Ziye. “Go to ask the prison guards on duty some questions.”

He told Wei Ziye to approach him and then whispered in his ear.

Shi Baojin tried her best to curl up like a ball and looked pitiful and harmless, but she showed a ferocious smile on her face covered with her hair.

“Speaking of which, how did you know Qingxue was poisoned? I have never mentioned it.”

Mo Junyang’s cold voice came suddenly and frightened Shi Baojin.

She raised her head all of a sudden and happened to meet Mo Junyang’s deep and bloodthirsty eyes. She was like a frog in a poisonous snake’s eyes.

She couldn’t move and had no chance of survival.
