However, Shangguan Qing's most important purpose for coming here was not this. The man seemed to have seen through this, but he just didn't say anything.

Shangguan Qing had no choice but to speak again: "Um... Regent, I may need to borrow your name temporarily."

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Shangguan Qing with a half-smile, and said softly: "My name is not so easy to use."

Shangguan Qing naturally understood what the man meant. He wanted to negotiate terms.

So, she replied calmly, "What does your Majesty want?"

The man chuckled, a sly look flashing in his eyes, and whispered, "Look at what this king needs, and what value can you provide to him?"

Shangguan Qing's lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled, imitating the man's behavior. There was a hint of teasing in his tone: "Your Highness, you really overestimate yourself! For example, you are poisoned by a strange poison, and there is still no detoxification."

The man's face instantly turned gloomy when he heard this.

He stood up suddenly, grabbed Shangguan Qing by the throat, and asked with gritted teeth, "Who are you? How do you know that I'm poisoned?"

Shangguan Qing's feet were pinched off the ground. She slapped the man's hand that was pinching her throat. Her face became redder and redder, and the fear of suffocation came over her again.

Shangguan Qing was really convinced. She had only been here for a few days, and she had encountered such a thing twice in a row. She thought that if it didn't work, she would enter the space immediately. No matter who he was, there were plenty of supplies in her space, enough for food, drink and lying down. After that, the worst that could happen was that she would find a place where no one knew her and live a stable life. But she was unwilling to give up. She was finally going to get her parents' property back.

The fierce man seemed to have figured something out and suddenly let go of his hand. Shangguan Qing began to breathe heavily.

Shangguan Qing took a steadying breath and said dissatisfiedly, "Since the prince has no sincerity in cooperating, I will leave. Our agreement is void."

Unexpectedly, the man flashed and blocked Shangguan Qing's way, staring at her coldly, "The only people who know my secret are the dead and my own people."

Shangguan Qing suddenly stopped, his eyes wide, and roared, "You are too overbearing! Are you threatening me? You have no sincerity in cooperating at all!"

The man's face was almost as cold as ice, and he said in a cold tone: "Sincerity? The fact that I can spare your life is the greatest sincerity. You should cherish it."

Shangguan Qing was furiously complaining in his heart, "Screw your sincerity! No one would believe your sincerity! You big-tailed wolf, why are you pretending to be a good person!"

However, she said, "Okay, I can help you get rid of the poison. But I want the title of Regent Princess. Once you are cured, my goal will be achieved, and our agreement will be over."

The man chuckled, a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "So you've already made up your mind. But how can I trust you that you can detoxify?"

Shangguan Qingchen understood clearly that this man would not do anything without confidence, and he must have a backup plan.

But it was better this way, at least she didn't have to worry about him plotting against her too harshly.

"You know what I was like before. A few days ago, I met a master who taught me a lot of things, including medicine. You can see that my face has improved, my brain has become smarter, and I've lost a lot of weight."

The man glanced at Shangguan Qing as if scanning her, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Shangguan Qing was immediately annoyed. "Do you want to do this? Isn't it obvious? If you don't want to cooperate, forget it. As the regent, I believe you must have had many people examine your body. If it could be solved, your poison would have been resolved long ago, and you wouldn't have such a big reaction."

The man grabbed Shangguan Qing's throat again. This time she was not afraid at all, but took the initiative to meet the man's gaze.

The man slowly lowered his hand. "Okay, I agree. Please help me detoxify first."

Shangguan Qing was so angry that he almost laughed: "My Lord, if your poison was easy to cure, you would have cured it long ago and wouldn't have had to wait until now!"

The man frowned slightly when he heard this, and seemed a little unhappy, but he still asked patiently: "Then what do you say we should do?"

Shangguan Qing was secretly delighted when she saw this, knowing that the other party had begun to compromise. So she completely relaxed and said slowly, "I want some of your blood for research."

After hearing this, the man picked up a dagger without any hesitation and was about to slash his arm.

Shangguan Qing was stunned when he saw this and quickly shouted, "Wait, this won't work."

The man stopped and looked at Shangguan Qing in confusion, saying, "This is how most doctors draw blood."

Shangguan Qing rolled his eyes at him helplessly, wondering how this man could be so stupid, and then said rudely: "No wonder those doctors can't cure your poison!"

After hearing this, the man's face turned gloomy and he asked in a cold tone: "Then what are you going to do?"

Seeing that the other party was angry, Shangguan Qing quickly took out a set of modern syringes and blood collection equipment from his sleeve, then walked naturally to the man and prepared to draw blood from him.

The man asked curiously, "You carry this equipment with you at all times."

Shangguan Qing suddenly felt as if he had been exposed, and hurriedly said, "I'm not trying to detoxify you, I prepared it in advance. This thing is a one-time use and very scarce."

The man nodded slightly and said sincerely, "Thank you, Murong Bai."

Shangguan Qing looked puzzled and asked, "What?"

The man raised his lips slightly and said softly, "My name is Murong Bai."

Shangguan Qing nodded in sudden realization and responded, "Oh, I see."

After the blood collection process was quickly completed, Shangguan Qing eagerly picked up the plasma, shook it gently to mix it evenly, and then quickly threw it into the space laboratory.

At this moment, Erha had been knocked unconscious by herself. Now there was no one to help with the test. She couldn't help but feel extremely anxious. She said hurriedly, "I will give you the results tomorrow, but regarding the antidote, we may have to wait until tomorrow to get any definitive news."

Murong Bai nodded slightly to show his understanding.

Shangguan Qing was extremely anxious and turned away.

However, just as she walked into the yard, she suddenly felt a powerful force tightly clamping her shoulders, and her whole body soared into the air.

Shangguan Qing screamed in horror: "Ah!"

A faint smile appeared on Murong Bai's stern face, and he teased, "I thought you were quite courageous?"

Shangguan Qing naturally refused to be outdone and stubbornly retorted, "If I were timid, how could I cooperate with you, Your Highness?"

Murong Bai remained noncommittal and quickly escorted Shangguan Qing safely back to the courtyard. He looked at the boxes scattered across the floor and asked with concern, "Do you need my help?"

Shangguan Qing shook his head decisively. There was no need to guard these empty boxes. "Murong Bai, no need, thank you. No one can open these boxes."

Murong Bai hadn't heard this address for a long time. After a slight hesitation, he quickly said, "Okay."

Then he flew up and left quickly.
