I survived as a female assassin

On the way back to the private residence, Jiemie followed Mu Yuan all the way. He couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, you were so anxious to see General Lei just now. Did you want to test him?"

"Testing?"

"You forgot, Lei Ting was introduced to my father by me. There's no need to test him, it's just a warning."

"After all, a wise bird chooses its own tree to roost in. As a general of the Tiger Wing Army, Lei Ting's choice is particularly important."

"As for the Tiger Wing Army's assassination attempt on me, Lei Ting will definitely give me an explanation. We will know tomorrow if it was General Lei who did it."

"Don't forget, there are too many former subordinates of Marquis Dingguo in the Tiger Wing Army."

Jiemie nodded, seemingly thinking, if General Lei is loyal, it seems that the next step for His Highness is to meet the Marquis Dingguo.

When Mu Yuan returned to his private residence, the first thing he did was to see how Xin Youran was doing. When he saw that Doctor Qin was still in his room, he was full of confusion.

It seems that the old guy has something important to tell him. It's a bit funny to see him dozing off in the chair. Thanks to him today.

"If Imperial Physician Qin is feeling sleepy, why not go to the side room and sleep?"

Imperial Physician Qin was startled awake, "Your Highness, you are finally back!"

Mu Yuan glanced at Xin Youran worriedly. She still had her eyes closed, her face pale, and was still unconscious. "Why hasn't she woken up yet?"

"Oh, he's still unconscious. Everyone's condition is different, and the duration of coma is also different."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. This young lady is fine."

Mu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes never leaving Xin Youran. Just as he was about to go to her, he was stopped by Doctor Qin again.

"Your Highness, I want to congratulate you!"

Congratulations to him for being one step closer to death?

"Why are you so happy?"

Doctor Qin looked around the room again and again. Seeing that he looked like a thief, Mu Yuan curled his lips and said, "It's very safe here. There's no one else here. The secret guards are outside the house at night."

"Doctor Qin, there's no need to do this."

Doctor Qin shook his head after hearing this. He was still in the mood to make fun of his old bones. "Your Highness, do you know that if this black line on your arm was half a finger thicker, you would bleed from all seven orifices and die suddenly!"

"Oh, what then?"

Seeing how he treated his life so lightly, Imperial Physician Qin felt really disappointed with him!

"It really is destiny that cannot be defied!"

"Those old guys at the Imperial Observatory are still quite useful. The medicine man I've been searching for has miraculously appeared!"

Mu Yuan paused after hearing this. He thought this matter was too strange. How could there be such a coincidence?

"I advise you not to listen to slander."

Imperial Physician Qin: ...

"What more do you need to say? Look, I'm lying on your bed!"

Mu Yuan's face was full of question marks, "How is it possible..."

"I have already tried it. Your Highness, please take a look at the black line on your arm."

Mu Yuan quickly pulled up the sleeves on his arms, and the black lines on them didn't get any thicker?

Logically speaking, he forcefully used his internal energy to kill the assassin this time, and it was fortunate that the poison did not take effect. The black line should have become thicker, so how could there be no change?

"Because I added that young lady's blood to the medicine you drank before."

"The poison on the arrow is the Heart-Breaking Dew. Once poisoned, the heart will rupture instantly and the person will die."

"But she is lying here peacefully, because the medicine man is immune to all poisons."

Mu Yuan looked at Xin Youran lying on the bed again. What on earth had she been through...

"Your Highness must have heard about why a medicine man becomes a medicine man, right?"

"This is an inhumane experimental subject. Back then, my senior brother Ding Qingshan learned about the concept of medicine men from an ancient book and became obsessed with it. He poured all his energy into creating them."

"I heard he's already joined [Falling Rain]. I wonder how many people he's used as test subjects..."

"The so-called experimental subjects are constantly being tested with various poisons, and their bodies are soaked in poison every day, resulting in countless deaths and injuries..."

“I didn’t expect that he would actually succeed.”

Mu Yuan's eyes were filled with heartache, and his mind was filled with imagination about how she spent those times...

That must have been a hell of a day.

He carefully stroked her face. The fact that she was a medicine man must not be known to anyone.

"I didn't expect that the legendary old poisoner is actually your senior brother."

"Is he still [Raining] now?"

Doctor Qin actually put his hands on his hips and laughed, "He died a long time ago!"

"I guess he didn't know he actually succeeded. Hahahaha, this old guy can finally rest in peace."

Mu Yuan didn't know why Doctor Qin was so... happy...

He must be really happy to be able to laugh like this without caring about etiquette.

"Your Highness, the next step is to use this young lady's blood as a medicine guide. Combine it with the medicine prepared by my superiors and subordinates for you. Drink it for 49 days. Only then will the Ice Soul Poison be completely cured."

Doctor Qin told Mu Yuan about his treatment plan in a light tone, but he didn't expect that he would be rejected by him.

"No need!"

"If I stop using my inner strength, how many days can I live at most?"

Doctor Qin thought he had misheard. What was this little ancestor trying to do?

"Your Highness, why are you…"

"Please tell me, how many days do I have left to live?"

Mu Yuan's determined eyes interrupted Doctor Qin's question.

He was so angry that his beard was about to stand up!

Finally, he sighed deeply, "No more than a month at most..."

"Haha, that's enough."

"Jiyu! Send Doctor Qin back."

Ji Yu quickly appeared in front of Doctor Qin, "Doctor Qin, please come in."

Doctor Qin wanted to persuade Mu Yuan again, but this man was so stubborn!

He finally shook his sleeves and sighed, "Why did it come to this? Why did it come to this..."

After Doctor Qin left, Mu Yuan tucked the quilt for Xin Youran again, then tiptoed out of the room.

As soon as he walked out of the room, he put his hands behind his back and looked up at the starry sky.

Oh, one month, that should be enough time. I have never had any attachment to this world before, and I should have no worries from now on.

"Your Highness..."

"I dare to ask, why don't you let Doctor Qin detoxify you?"

Jiemie couldn't understand why anyone would choose death over life?

"Do you know that the person who poisoned me doesn't know that only the legendary medicine man can detoxify me?"

"If the poison in my palace is cured, then the drug man will be exposed."

"Once someone knows about the existence of the medicine man, I'm afraid her life will never be at peace..."

At this time, Xin Youran, who was lying on Mu Yuan's bed, opened her eyes.
