Royal Palace

In the imperial study, the emperor was having a serious discussion with several adults.

Xiao Heng walked in slowly with steady steps, wearing a crimson-purple python robe, and his cold, jade-white face had an innate elegance.

He bowed slightly, his voice clear and distinct,

"My dear brother, please see your royal brother."

The emperor nodded slightly and said, "You've come at the right time." Then he raised his hand and motioned him to sit down.

After Xiao Heng sat down, Huang Zhongsheng respectfully handed him tea.

He nodded slightly, but his eyes were always on the emperor.

"I wonder what the Emperor wants me to do?"

The emperor frowned, his expression solemn.

"Recently, disappearances have been rampant in several counties surrounding Kyoto. Over a hundred people have disappeared in just over ten days. I am deeply concerned. This matter must be investigated as soon as possible."

The emperor's eyes swept back and forth between Xiao Heng and Xiao Chengchang.

"Tomorrow, you and Prince Gong will lead the team to investigate."

Xiao Heng raised his eyelids slightly and glanced coldly at Xiao Chengchang sitting opposite him.

A hint of displeasure flashed across Xiao Chengchang's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

Secretly angry in my heart,

It’s Xiao Heng again!

Why does the emperor value him so much?!

Xiao Chengchang suppressed his dissatisfaction and stood up respectfully, saying, "Your son obeys my command."

The emperor looked at Xiao Heng, and Xiao Heng slowly stood up and said, "Your Highness, I obey your command."

After leaving the imperial study, Xiao Chengchang looked at Xiao Heng's receding back with a dim gaze, his hands clenched tightly into fists.

My heart is filled with jealousy and resentment. Why can Xiao Heng always easily gain the favor of his father?

That day, Concubine Ru accidentally overheard the conversation between the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and learned that Xiao Heng had suffered many hidden injuries on the battlefield over the years, was poisoned, and would not live long.

A sinister smile appeared on Xiao Chengchang's face.

Poisoned?

Ah!

Regardless of whether the news is true or not, this is a good opportunity to get rid of him.

Regent's House

Qi Yuan was concentrating on taking Xiao Heng's pulse, his brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.

Xuanfeng stood aside, staring at Qi Yuan without blinking, watching the expression on his face change, and his brows involuntarily frowned.

Xuan Yu was even more anxious and couldn't help asking,

"Doctor Qi, can you do this?"

Qi Yuan slowly withdrew his hand with a heavy expression. After a long while, he slowly spoke.

"The poison in the prince's body has indeed been mostly removed. Miss Su is indeed amazing."

A hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, but was quickly replaced by doubt.

"The evil poison in the prince's body is indeed very strange. I have treated the prince at least a hundred times over the years, and yet I have never noticed it."

Xiao Heng's eyes darkened slightly, revealing a hint of coldness.

He pursed his lips and asked, "Do you know what this poison is?"

Qi Yuan shook his head helplessly.

He said in a deep voice, "Miss Su is right. The poison has been in the prince's body for a long time and is now ready to attack. If we are not careful, the poison will be released."

When Xuanfeng and Xuanyu heard this, they also lowered their heads in disappointment.

After a few seconds, Xuan Yu raised his head again.

"Your Highness, the princess's medical skills are a hundred times better than Dr. Qi's! I believe she will find a way!"

Qi Yuan wanted to refute with some dissatisfaction, but then he thought that Su Yuejian's medical skills were indeed better than his. In just three days, most of the poison in Xiao Heng's body was gone.

This is something he has not been able to achieve after years of research.

I moved my mouth, but I didn't know what to say, so I held it back. Then I remembered again,

"Miss Su really lives on Chaowu Mountain?"

Xuan Yu nodded, and said proudly,

"Divine Doctor Qi, you don't know how powerful our princess is! If you're called a divine doctor, then our princess has to be called a deity!"

Qi Yuan snorted disdainfully, looked at Xuan Yu's smug look, and rolled his eyes at him.

Turning around, he saw Xiao Heng beside him nodding in agreement with Xuan Yu.

Suddenly I became even angrier.

Why didn’t he realize before that Xiao Heng valued women over friends!

He slammed the table, jumped up, and excitedly defended himself.

"Is she the only one who can detoxify? I can deal with poisons too! I'm the heir of the Medical Valley after all! Don't look down on me!..."

Qi Yuan was arguing excitedly when Xuan Wu walked in.

He bowed respectfully, "Your Highness." He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xiao Heng with both hands.

After reading it, Xiao Heng's face turned pale and he tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

Qi Yuan knew that this was Xiao Heng's action when he was thinking.

"Zi Che, what's wrong?"

Xiao Heng looked at Qi Yuan, raised his eyebrows slightly, with an unfathomable depth in his eyes.

For some reason, whenever Qi Yuan looked at Xiao Heng, he always felt a chill down his spine and had a bad premonition.

The next second, Xiao Heng said to Xuan Wu,

"Take Qi Yuan to find Wu Ji."

Qi Yuan was stunned, his eyes widened, his face full of confusion.

Wuji?

Isn’t that the owner of Shadow Pavilion?

He scratched his head and looked at Xiao Heng.

"Why would I go look for Wuji?"

Xiao Heng calmly picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said slowly,

"Prove yourself."

???

Qi Yuan was even more confused.

Xuan Wu bowed and accepted the order, walked to Qi Yuan, and pulled Qi Yuan, who was still full of confusion, out.

Looking at the two people walking away, Xuan Yu couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He whispered, "Your Highness, can Doctor Qi do it?"

Xiao Heng held the teacup and gently shook his head to blow away the floating leaves. His tone was as calm as ever, "I don't know."

Xuan Yu and Xuan Feng looked at each other and began to mourn for Qi Yuan in their hearts.

Shadow Pavilion

The man was dressed in a fiery red robe, with a face that was almost demonic and even more beautiful than a woman's. The teardrop mole at the end of his eye made him even more captivating.

At this moment, she was lying on her side on the couch, her long eyelashes casting a shadow under her eyelids, seductive and charming.

Xuan Wu walked in with Qi Yuan.

Every time Qi Yuan saw his handsome face, he couldn't help but wonder whether this person was a man.

"Mr. Wuji."

Wuji heard the voice and slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were deep and captivating.

Seeing the two of them, she smiled evilly, looking even more alluring like a demon.

"I didn't expect Xiao Heng'er to be so quick."

Qi Yuan looked at Xuan Wu in confusion.

What is this guy talking about?

Xuan Wu said, "Master Wuji, Divine Doctor Qi is the heir of the Medical Valley. With him here, he will ensure that you can enter Wuhua Mountain."

Wuji yawned out of boredom and stretched.

"I wonder why your prince is targeting the Ten Thousand Poison Sect?"

Xuan Wu said coldly,

"Don't bother me, sir."

Qi Yuan was stunned, his mind racing.

Help them enter Wuhua Mountain?

Wan Du Men?

The corner of his mouth twitched.

Qi Yuan now understood what Xiao Heng meant by proving himself.

After the Wan Du Sect occupied Wuhua Mountain, they placed a lot of poisonous snakes and insects on the mountain as a barrier. People without certain medical and poisonous skills could not enter Wuhua Mountain.

It seems that he was sent here to help Wuji.

But he also heard from Xuan Yu that the people from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect were chasing Su Yuejian.

Although he didn't know why, since it involved Su Yuejian, Xiao Heng would definitely not let them go.

I sighed silently in my heart.

As expected, he forgets his principles for the sake of beauty!

Xuan Wu patted Qi Yuan's shoulder.

Qi Yuan looked at Xuan Wu's "take care of yourself" eyes, tilted his head and frowned.

No! Do they really think he's a waste?!

What he said in the study just now was not bragging!

It’s just Wuhua Mountain!

If he can’t get it, he’s not called Qi!!
