So he wanted to find out from the Queen what the situation was so that he could prepare for the next plan.

The queen told him the process of poisoning herself and explained to him the symptoms of the poison. Based on this, it is not difficult to infer that Qin Junyu did not fall down at all, but was poisoned.

Qin Zehai couldn't hide his smile.

"I can guarantee that if he can't get the antidote within a month, he will definitely die." The queen sneered.

Qin Zehai was so happy that he was beaming with joy, but he had to worry about one thing: "What if he is so lucky that he finds the antidote? Just like seven years ago, when he met a quack doctor who saved his life when he was in danger, what if this time..."

The Queen insisted it was impossible.

"It is absolutely impossible for him to get the prescription for detoxification. Even if he has the prescription, he will not be able to find the herbs."

"Why?" Qin Zehai asked.

The queen held back and did not tell him the reason. Instead, she advised him not to worry, saying that Qin Junyu would not be able to escape this time.

-

Qin Zehai came out of Zhongcui Palace, looked around, and seeing that there was no one around, he strode out from the main gate.

Even if someone spread some rumors, he could use Qin Fengtian as an excuse, so he turned around and went back to Xiangru Palace.

As soon as he entered, someone passed the news to the Yangxin Palace.

East Palace.

Although it was an act, in order to prevent being exposed, Nian Susu still put splints on Qin Junyu's legs.

Qin Junyu looked at his legs with resentment, "Does it have to be like this?"

Nian Su Su put her hands on her hips and said, "Of course, I'll do the whole show. Besides, your legs are numb, you can't feel anything."

Qin Junyu: ...

Should he be happy?

Nian Su Su Su realized it belatedly and scratched his head in embarrassment. "Sorry, I didn't mean to poke your wound, but don't worry, as long as you use medicinal baths and acupuncture, your limbs will be able to regain sensation within seven days."

"What about after seven days?" Qin Junyu suddenly became serious, with a trace of loneliness flashing across his face.

He now lives by counting the days. Knowing the date of his death, life becomes torment. Every night when he lies in bed getting ready to sleep, all he thinks about is that when he wakes up tomorrow, he will have one less day to live.

His stiff limbs reminded him all the time that he was poisoned and no medicine could cure him, so he could only wait for death.

No matter how strong his will was, he couldn't stand such torture.

Nian Susu's mood suddenly fell to the bottom.

She noticed that Qin Junyu's mood had been getting worse in the past few days. If he continued like this, he would collapse before the poison took effect.

"Your Highness." Nian Susu squatted down and gently held Qin Junyu's hands. "Don't think too much. I will cure you. Don't you believe me?"

His eyes were calm, "I believe you, but if I can't find the antidote, what else can you do?"

The people of Tianxuan Villa are spread all over the world. Even if they can't find the herbs needed for the antidote, who else can find it?

Qin Junyu lowered his head and sighed, "I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid that you will be implicated by me."

The only thing he was worried about was Nian Susu. If she married him, she would become a widow without enjoying a single day of happiness. Anyone would think that this girl was too miserable.

But Nian Susu didn't feel miserable. She felt she was very lucky to be able to share hardships with the one she loved. No matter how hard or difficult it was, as long as she could ask him for help, she would do it without hesitation, just like at Jiuyun Mountain, when Qin Junyu jumped down the mountain without hesitation to save her. Love is mutual.

"I can definitely help you detoxify the poison." Nian Susu held his hand firmly.

This gave Qin Junyu great confidence.

The two agreed that they would not give up, become discouraged, or become disheartened until the last moment.

Nian Susu went out, ready to find Axuan to see if he had done what he had asked him to do. Unexpectedly, he met Jingxue as soon as he went out.

Nian Susu no longer remembered her name. She only remembered that on the night Qin Junyu fell, a palace maid knelt down in front of her and asked to stay and be a caregiver, but she did not agree.

Given Qin Junyu's current condition, no one is allowed to get close to him except Axuan and her, let alone the nurse. If anyone finds out something and gets it to the emperor's ears, it would be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, and the queen and Qin Zehai would definitely make a big fuss about it.

In order to avoid trouble, Nian Susu thinks it is better to be cautious.

Jingxue was holding a food bowl with a stew pot on top of it and was heading towards the east wing.

When she met Nian Susu, she simply stepped aside, greeted him as usual, and immediately prepared to leave.

Nian Su Su called her over and asked, "What...is your name?"

Jingxue had already walked away three or four steps, with her back to her at this time. Her face immediately darkened and she cursed silently in her heart: She didn't even remember my name, she is so arrogant. She has only been married to the Eastern Palace for a few days, but she doesn't even take the servants seriously. What will happen in the future?

When she turned around, she still had a sullen face, because she was no longer planning to rely on the Crown Princess to save herself, but on the Crown Prince, so there was no need to please the person in front of her who didn't care about her at all.

"My name is Jingxue, Princess."

"Where are you going?" Nian Susu asked knowingly.

"I have cooked pig's trotter soup to nourish your Highness. Like nourishes like, and I have also made a few appetizing side dishes. Your Highness has a bitter taste in his mouth after taking the medicine, so maybe they can be of use to you."

Jingxue said this with great pride, because she felt that a young lady like Nian Susu, who had never been involved in housework, would definitely not understand these things.

If you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach.

Nian Susu took a few steps forward and walked in front of her. He stretched out his hand but didn't touch the lid of the stew pot. Jingxue took a few steps back as if protecting her food, and seemed to be resisting Nian Susu's actions.

Nian Susu narrowed his eyes, "Why? I'm the Crown Princess, can't I even look at the things of a little slave like you?"

She usually doesn't use her status to pressure others, unless the other party disrespects her first. Jingxue clearly doesn't regard her as her master. In this case, she has to show off her power as the Crown Princess.

Jingxue quickly denied: "That's not what I meant. I was... I was afraid that the lid would be too hot and would hurt the Crown Princess."

She was glad that she reacted quickly enough.

Nian Susu ignored her and reached out his hand again. This time Jingxue didn't dodge.

When the lid was opened, there was indeed steaming pig's trotter soup inside.

She stirred it with a spoon and saw that there were not only pig's trotters but also some Chinese medicinal herbs.

"Is this a medicinal food?" asked Nian Susu.

Jingxue's eyes sparkled, and she answered as if to take credit: "Yes, I put raw rehmannia root, madder root, ophiopogon japonicus, aconite root, and cinnamon bark in it. I don't understand medical theory, but I have looked up the herbs used in the soup in medical books, and they are all good for patients with fractures."

She had an expression that looked like she was begging for praise.
