The doctor had already made his attitude clear, and Shen Zhiyi understood that it would be futile to make things difficult for him.

"Doctor, there are some people next door with milder symptoms. Please go and take a look at them." Ji Qingyi said as he took Doctor Li out the door.

The situation of other poisoned people is not optimistic at the moment.

The four or five doctors who arrived one after another, faced with such a difficult disease, all racked their brains and thought hard, but they were still at a loss and could only sigh helplessly.

Although their condition is not as serious as Tao Jiuxi's, if they continue like this, they will become more poisoned the longer they delay.

At this moment, the only possible chance of survival is to dissolve and use the only two pills made by Xue Yunmeng.

However, everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to ask Shen Zhiyi's opinion.

After all, no one could predict whether Tao Jiuxi would be able to come back to life after taking one pill, and it was also unclear whether the remaining two pills would really improve the condition of the dozen or so people with milder symptoms.

If these two pills are really effective, Tao Jiuxi may still need to take them; but on the other side, there are a dozen or so equally living lives. If they are not detoxified in time, they will also be in danger.

Should he take a gamble and leave the medicine to Tao Jiuxi to preserve a glimmer of hope for her?

Or use this only medicine to save more people?

This choice, which could determine life and death, inevitably fell on Shen Zhiyi's shoulders.

Ji Qingyi brought Jiang Qu with him, his steps as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and went to look for Shen Zhiyi again.

After Shen Zhiyi heard the purpose of their visit, he was silent for a moment as if he was frozen in time.

His gaze shifted to Tao Jiuxi. Her face, once as beautiful as a flower, was now bloodless and pale as paper. Every contour was like a sharp blade, piercing his heart fiercely.

He stood there for a long time. After a long while, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength. His throat moved with difficulty, and from his dry lips he squeezed out a few words with difficulty: "Dissolve, separate them."

Ji Qingyi looked at Shen Zhiyi's complicated and painful expression, and all kinds of feelings surged in his heart.

The two retreated silently, leaving behind only a heavy silence.

At this time, only Shen Zhiyi and Tao Jiuxi were left in the room.

Shen Zhiyi slowly half-knelt on the ground, gently holding Tao Jiuxi's cold hand, his eyes full of tenderness, and whispered to Tao Jiuxi who had no reaction: "This time, I won't let you leave alone."

Ji Qingyi held the two pills tightly in his hands, his expression solemn as if carrying a heavy weight. He whispered to Jiang Qu, "Go and dissolve them quickly. I hope this medicine will work."

"Any functions?"

At this moment, a voice as clear and cold as the sound of a spring hitting a rock came. The voice had an inexplicable attraction, like a breeze, penetrating the dull air.

"Miss Xue!" Jiang Qu's voice suddenly rose, his excitement evident in his words.

When Ji Qingyi heard the words "Miss Xue", his heart felt like it was gently brushed by a feather. He slowly turned his head, searching for the source of the voice.

Xue Yunmeng was seen walking gracefully down the stairs. This time, she was no longer wearing the dark black dress as dark as the night, but a sky-blue dress. It was carefully tailored for her by Tao Jiuxi. The sky-blue fabric swayed gently on her body like flowing spring water, and every fold seemed to tell a story of lively poetry.

Xue Yunmeng took light steps and her eyes inadvertently fell on Ji Qingyi.

I secretly wondered: Where did this handsome young man come from...

This glance, like a startling reflection, instantly stirred ripples in her heart. Although she was fond of aloof men, the man before her had a figure as tall and straight as a pine tree, a temperament as elegant as a beautiful jade, and a unique charm of heroism and tenderness between his eyebrows that deeply attracted her.

She couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"

Jiang Qu was so anxious that he no longer cared about Xue Yunmeng's previous questions. "Ms. Xue, our daughter and Jiang Shun have both been poisoned!"

If it weren't for the differences between men and women and the strict rules of etiquette, Jiang Qu would have wanted to pull Xue Yunmeng over right away to check the situation.

When Xue Yunmeng heard this, his expression instantly became solemn. His mind was completely occupied by this sudden news and he no longer had the time to investigate the identity of the man in front of him.

"Where is Jiuxi?" she asked anxiously, her eyes full of worry.

Jiang Qu quickly stretched out his hand and pointed towards the room at the end of the second floor.

Xue Yunmeng hurried over like a gust of wind and pushed the door open.

Inside the room, Shen Zhiyi was half-kneeling beside the bed, like a statue without a soul. His eyes were fixed on Tao Jiuxi's bloodless face on the bed. He was unaware of everything in the outside world, as if the whole world only had him and Tao Jiuxi.

Xue Yunmeng was so anxious that she pushed Shen Zhiyi away and shouted, "Don't get in the way here."

Ji Qingyi followed behind and looked at Xue Yunmeng in some surprise.

Shen Zhiyi was caught off guard and only came to his senses after being pushed away, and saw that the person coming was Xue Yunmeng.

In an instant, the deathly silence seemed to be broken, and a trace of life returned to the house.

He didn't say anything, but silently moved to the side to make room. The spark of hope rekindled in his eyes. He knew that with Xue Yunmeng here, Tao Jiuxi might be saved.

Xue Yunmeng quickly stepped forward, grabbed Tao Jiuxi's hand, and began to take his pulse with full concentration.

"How did you provoke the people of Miaoxiang Country?"

The people of Miaoxiang Country are good at using poison, and their methods are vicious and strange. Once poisoned, it is often an extremely difficult problem.

"How is Ah Xi?" Shen Zhiyi was full of anxiety and had no intention of answering her question. He just wanted to know Tao Jiuxi's condition urgently. The tension in his eyes was like a bowstring about to break.

"Looking at the pulse, did you just take the Baiduqinghe Baomingdan I gave you?" Xue Yunmeng continued to ask, his eyes never leaving Tao Jiuxi's wrist.

"Yes. How is she?" Shen Zhiyi replied quickly.

"Don't panic, Shen Zhiyi. I'm here, Jiuxi won't die. I'll prescribe a prescription and take a medicinal bath right away."

Xue Yunmeng withdrew his hand, looked around, and saw paper and pen on the table. He walked over quickly and immediately began to write the prescription.

Her brushstrokes were swift.

Seeing this, Ji Qingyi hurried out and soon brought in several other doctors.

"Miss Xue, these are the doctors from Yulong City. See if you can help. There are ten people outside with the same symptoms who haven't taken their medication yet."

Xue Yunmeng raised his head slightly, quickly glanced at everyone, and said quickly: "Come here, I'll tell you the recipe and you write it down."

The doctors did not dare to delay and immediately took out paper and pen from their medicine boxes, walked to the round table not far away, got ready and prepared to take notes.

"Please continue writing this one for me." Xue Yunmeng turned his gaze to Ji Qingyi.

Ji Qingyi hurried forward and took the pen from Xue Yunmeng. He looked at the paper, which had a few hastily written words on it. Although they were a little sloppy, they had a unique power.

"Raw Rehmannia root: 2 liang. Viola yedoensis: 3 liang. Forsythia suspensa: 2 liang..."

The doctor wrote it down and hurried back to get the medicine.

Xue Yunmeng reached out and took out a small, exquisite medicine bottle from his waist, and handed it to Jiang Qu: "Divide the medicine among everyone, one pill each. Take this medicine, and your life will be safe."

When Jiang Qu heard this, the solemnity on his face eased a lot. He didn't dare to delay for a moment. After taking the medicine bottle, he ran out like a gust of wind.

After Xue Yunmeng finished all these, he tiptoed to the bed and sat down.

She took out another medicine bottle from her bosom, handed it to Shen Zhiyi, who was holding Tao Jiuxi, and said simply, "Drink it."

Shen Zhiyi hurriedly did as he was told, being very careful in his movements, fearing that he might hurt Tao Jiuxi.

"I've never seen you so obedient. Don't be nervous. You'll be about 70% better after taking Baiduqing. Jiuxi needs time for the medicine to take effect. I've run out of these valuable medicines in a flash."

When Shen Zhiyi heard this, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

He looked at Xue Yunmeng gratefully and was about to say thank you, but he saw Xue Yunmeng had already stood up nimbly and walked towards Ji Qingyi who was picking up the ink and brushes left by the doctor.

"Who are you?" Xue Yunmeng walked up to Ji Qingyi and asked, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

When Ji Qingyi saw Xue Yunmeng approaching, he quickly put down his pen and bowed respectfully: "Thank you for your help, young lady. I am your cousin Jiuxi."

"Cousin? Dear one?"

"Yes."

"I saved your cousin, do you want to marry me?" Xue Yunmeng suddenly said something shocking, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, looking at Ji Qingyi with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingyi was shocked and stood there for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
