Wen Daoxing opened the medicine box with a confused look on his face, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Is it Sui Sui You? The letter sent from Princess Xian Yao's mansion is actually about Sui Sui You? No wonder the spy became so crazy and weird."

"How do you know Sui Sui You?"

Ji Zhen looked at Wen Daoxing suspiciously. Wen Daoxing's eyes flashed. Just as he was about to answer, he heard Yunzi, who was curled up in the quilt, sigh in pain. Ji Zhen knew that his poison was about to reach the second stage of the attack, and he would definitely not want others to see that.

Ji Zhen then used a long rope to tie Yunzi's quilt tightly around his body. Then, he used pillows and bolsters on all four sides to protect Yunzi's body and prevent him from falling off the bed. He lowered the heavy bed curtains and pulled Wen Daoxing out of the inner room and into the outer room.

Ji Zhen called the servant and asked him to make a calming soup.

"Remember, not one bowl, but ten bowls. Then boil ten bowls into one bowl and bring it over." Ji Zhen ordered.

The attendant was somewhat frightened after hearing this. He glanced at Wen Daoxing who was sitting next to Ji Zhen, and confirmed with Ji Zhen with great concern:

"Your Highness... the amount of tranquilizing soup you drink on a daily basis is already quite sufficient. The imperial physician once warned us not to drink too much of such a concentrated tranquilizing soup. Now you want me to boil ten bowls of it, and boil the ten bowls into one bowl. What on earth are you trying to do? You must take good care of yourself!"

The servant was so moved that he even choked up and looked at Wen Daoxing for help, hoping that he would join in the persuasion.

Ji Zhen looked up at the sky in silence. The little servant in front of him looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he was smart and straightforward. He was very smart and measured in his daily work, which made Ji Zhen like him very much. But he was stubborn. In the whole Prince's Mansion, even Ji Zhen couldn't beat him. The only one who could control him was Wen Daoxing.

Ji Zhen helplessly slapped the little attendant lightly and sighed:

"Do you think I'm a fool? I don't want to drink this medicine soup. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"I don't think your Highness knows how to do things."

The young attendant looked at Ji Zhen with great suspicion and told the truth. In the end, she couldn't stand it anymore. In order not to delay Yunzi's decoction, Ji Zhen had to wink at Wen Daoxing and ask him to save her.

Seeing Ji Zhen sending him a distress signal, Wen Daoxing, who had been pursing his lips, finally curled up in satisfaction and said to the little attendant in a serious tone:

"His Highness is so kind to you, have you forgotten the rules of the mansion? Go and boil the medicine, do you think you can ask about His Highness' affairs?"

Sure enough, under Wen Daoxing's cold gaze, the little attendant said nothing more. After looking at Ji Zhen with great concern, he hurried to boil the medicine.

Ji Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the soft couch in the outer room with Wen Daoxing.

"Yunzi has also been hit by the year-round worry."

As soon as the two sat down, Ji Zhen told Wen Daoxing about Yunzi's situation without hiding anything. It was no surprise to see that Wen Daoxing's handsome black eyebrows were locked.

"Mr. Daoxing, since you recognize Sui Sui You, do you know the formula for its antidote?" Ji Zhen asked.

Wen Daoxing shook his head, opened the medicine box in his hand, and stared at the two pills in a daze.

The rain finally stopped and the moon showed up again, generously casting its bright moonlight onto the world in the night sky.

Wen Daoxing carefully observed the "Sui Sui You" pill in the moonlight, and pinched its waxy hard shell. He said to Ji Zhen slowly, thinking about it:

"I encountered this drug when I was traveling in southern Xinjiang. At that time, it was not called "Years of Worry". People in southern Xinjiang called it "Mid-Spring Peach". It was a light pink pill. At that time, the drug was not so strong. It was just a fun-enhancing drug for young men and women in southern Xinjiang.

A few years later, I returned to South Vietnam and found that it had been transformed. I don’t know what was added to it, but it changed from a light pink pill to a large white pill like today, and the effect of the pill is completely different from before. ”

Wen Daoxing paused when he spoke here, turned his head to look at Ji Zhen's solemn profile, and sighed:

"Your Highness, I am sorry to disappoint you. Although I can recognize the poison, I don't know what the antidote is. I don't think any shop in the capital can sell the antidote for Sui Sui You. If you want to find the antidote, you can only go to the dark market in the capital."

"Dark market? What is that?"

This was the first time Ji Zhen had heard of this. Under Ji Zhen's gaze, Wen Daoxing frowned even deeper. He glanced at Ji Zhen, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Ji Zhen was in no mood to figure out Wen Daoxing's thoughts. She tapped her fingers impatiently on the small table beside her and urged:

"Mr. Daoxing, since you know, then tell me. Yunzi's condition is not good, and I must get the antidote as soon as possible. But I can't face Li Yuanying head-on now, so the antidote can only be found outside."

Wen Daoxing bowed his hands in obedience, sighed and said:

"The dark market in the capital has a long history. I hope Your Highness will listen to me and not be angry."

"I'm not angry, just tell me!" Ji Zhen urged again.

The more Ji Zhen listened to Wen Daoxing, the more she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was, so she urged Wen Daoxing to speak quickly, so Wen Daoxing slowly told Ji Zhen.

"There are dark markets in many places in South Vietnam. However, in terms of scale, the largest dark market in South Vietnam is in Beijing.

Not everyone can enter the dark market. You must have an invitation to find a guide, and then be led into the dark market by the guide.

Of course, there are all kinds of goods in this dark market. As long as people want something, they can buy it there. Even if they can't buy it at the time, they can still recruit people, put up orders, and wait for someone to open the order. After it is completed, they will pay for it and get the goods. "

"So is the antidote for Sui Sui You available in the dark market? Or should we wait?" Ji Zhen asked hurriedly.

Wen Daoxing shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either. We have to wait until we go to the dark market to see."

When Ji Zhen heard Wen Daoxing say this, she immediately stood up. She hurriedly put on her cloak and was about to go out. Wen Daoxing grabbed her and asked:

"Your Highness! Where are you going in the middle of the night?"

"Go to the dark market." Ji Zhen replied as a matter of course.

Wen Daoxing sighed and said speechlessly:

"Your Highness, did you really listen to what I said just now? You must have a guide to enter the dark market. Do you have the invitation card that the guide needs?"

Ji Zhen was slightly stunned and shook his head.

"I don't have it, do you?"

Ji Zhen looked at Wen Daoxing sincerely. Wen Daoxing looked at her deeply and said:

"I don't, but I know someone who does."

"Who?"

"The guest official of Princess Xianyao's residence, Zhao Youqing."
