The strong airflow shook all the tables and wooden benches in the room. Several medicine boxes were also overturned by the airflow in Nanqi's hands and fell off the table.

The cold air suddenly burst out in the room. Shu He stood in front of Baili Moqing, and Bei Ji stood in front of the two of them. With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the surging airflow.

"boom!"

Bei Ji looked at the scene in the field, his eyes widened and his face was full of disbelief.

Nanqi also widened his eyes and looked at his hands in horror.

Zhen Li's tall figure was blown away by the strong airflow and slammed into the door frame behind him. The door frame, which was usually very solid, was already blown away by his body.

Nanqi was confused.

"Li, Brother Li, didn't you use enough strength?"

As soon as Nanqi finished speaking, he found that blood was dripping from Zhenli's silver mask.

"Brother Li!"

"Zhen Li!"

Starting from the south and the north, they moved forward at the same time.

Zhen Li felt a surge of heat all over his body, as if his entire body was on fire. The intense burning sensation made even his resolute character frown in pain.

Seeing this, Shu He quickly took out the silver needle she was carrying, pushed Nanqibeiji away, and injected a thin stream of internal force into the silver needle, shooting it into Zhenli's body.

Those silver needles sealed the qi sea and ten meridians in his body.

It was not until this moment that Zhenli felt the heat in his body become much gentler.

When he regained control of his body, the look in his eyes towards Shu He finally lost its previous suspicion and contempt. "Thank you! Zhen Li, I apologize for the offense."

Shu He waved her hand, actually not minding his attitude towards her.

"General, there's no need to be so. I'm not asking you to do this to prove anything. It's just that you've been traveling for days, and the internal heat has caused some blood and qi to stagnate. This palm will open up the stagnant blood and qi in your body, making it easier to expel the fire poison later."

Baili Moqing watched this scene silently, with waves flowing in his deep eyes.

Even Zhenli was conquered by her...

This woman is really good at winning people's hearts!

Also, medical practitioners benefit the world and are most likely to win the hearts of the people.

Zhen Li nodded slightly and clasped his fists towards Shu He, "My health is fine, please heal the prince first!"

Shu He looked towards Baili Moqing, and met his eyes that were filled with mixed emotions. Why did he feel that this look was so strange?

This look made her feel uncomfortable. She looked away, too lazy to look at him.

"The poison in your prince's body is not so easy to cure." Seeing that time was almost up, Shu He took out all the silver needles from Zhen Li's body.

Then, he pulled the burn medicine he'd prepared from the medicine chest in his study, applied it to his hand, and bandaged the wound. "Wuji Cold Poison is the most incurable poison in the world. You should know this better than I do. If it could be cured so easily, it would be unworthy of the title of 'Number One in the World.'"

"He Shu, what do you mean?" Nan Qi frowned and rushed over. "Didn't you say the poison would be cured once the herbs arrive? Are you kidding us?"

"Nanqi, stop being so rude!" Beiji stepped forward and pulled the angry Nanqi back. "Mrs. He hasn't finished her words yet, why are you so anxious?"

Shu He glared at Nan Qi. This kid was calling her by her given name now! If she had known, she wouldn't have told them this fake name! She whispered, "Silly!"

"You!" Nanqi was filled with anger. He hated this word the most!

"Stop making trouble!" Zhenli said coldly, and there was a hint of warning in his eyes when he looked at Nanqi.

This kid has been ignored for too long, he's about to make a scene!

Nanqi shrank his neck and took a step back silently.

Shu He raised an eyebrow in surprise. Why was Nanqi so afraid of Zhenli? Aren't they on the same level?

"Madam He, please continue. If you have any other requests, we will do our best to fulfill them!"

Shu He briefly explained the steps for detoxification. Seeing the solemn expressions on their faces, she said, "Although this treatment method is extremely dangerous, it is the most effective and fastest!"

"Is there a milder way to detoxify?" Bei Ji asked doubtfully.

"Of course there is, but," she looked at Baili Moqing, "I don't think your prince would agree with this method."

"What do you mean?" Zhenli asked.

After Shu He treated Zhen Li's hand injury, he threw the remaining medicine to Nan Qi.

"With these fiery herbs like the Earth Core Bud Root and the Nine-petaled Lotus, the poison can indeed be slowly removed. However, the treatment process is very long. Furthermore, during the treatment, you cannot use your internal energy, and you must remain in bed without interruption."

With Baili Moqing's temperament, he would never accept being bedridden for an extended period. Furthermore, with the Northern Di watching closely and the court in turmoil, those who knew he was dying wouldn't give him much time, seeing that he was still lingering.

"Choose the first one!"

As expected, Baili Moqing's voice was very firm.

Seeing Beiji and the others looking worried, Shu He added, "Actually, although the first method of removing the poison is dangerous, it is not impossible to avoid the risk."

Everyone turned their gaze to her again, waiting for her to continue.

"I heard that deep in the Mang Mountains, there grows a highly poisonous herb called cartilage grass. As the name suggests, anyone who eats it will have their bones softened, leading to paralysis."

"If we had this herb, we might not have to grind the bones to remove the poison."

After hearing this, Nanqibeiji and the others' eyes lit up. Zhenli said directly, "I will go into the mountains to search now!"

"Wait!" Shu He was speechless. This man was too honest. "It's the middle of the night, can you see it?"

"Yes, Zhenli, and you still have fire poison in your body, so I'll go tomorrow." Beiji held Zhenli and volunteered.

Zhen Li pondered for a moment and was about to nod when he heard Shu He say, "Don't go either. You're still injured! Ask Nan Qi to accompany me. Hard labor is best suited for him!"

Nanqi stared, his pupils almost blazing with anger. Why was he only fit to do hard labor?

"There are often wild animals in the depths of Mang Mountain. This is just a minor injury. It's nothing serious." Bei Ji still wanted to fight for it.

But Shu He still refused him, "It is precisely because Mangshan is dangerous that those of you who are injured should not take the risk." To avoid getting injured again and having to rely on her for treatment.

Oh, I’m so worried!

Baili Moqing raised his eyes slightly and found that Beiji looked at Shu He with a bit of loss and worry in his eyes.

He, this is...

He lowered his eyes and said, "From the south to the north, let's go."

Bei Ji suddenly raised his eyes, and there was a bit of joy in his eyes, which then turned into doubt.

Baili Moqing was reading a book, as if he didn't care about the world outside the book at all.

Beiji's eyes darkened slightly, and for some reason, he felt a sense of unease and embarrassment deep in his heart.

Shu He nodded. Since the leader had said so, what else could she say?

After giving Zhenli acupuncture to drive away the fire poison, it was already late at night when she returned to the room.

She fell asleep and didn't even notice that there was no one beside her.
