The word "five years" deeply hurt Jun Xiaochen.

That was when he had just helped the young emperor ascend the throne.

Unexpectedly, the person who poisoned him had laid such a long secret line. When he realized something was wrong and wanted to trace the murderer, he could not find any trace.

But even so, he couldn't just watch the little emperor die.

Even if there was only a slight chance, he would do his best to protect the little emperor.

Now, the entire Tianqi Imperial Hospital was unaware of the toxins in the little emperor's body. Only Xu Junjun discovered that he was poisoned and determined that he did not have much time left. Jun Xiaochen could only use her now!

The man's grip on her arm hurt. Xu Junjun, who was only wearing a shirt, pulled her arm back with all her strength, tightened her shirt that had been torn apart by her struggle, and said unhappily:

“I already said I couldn’t do it.

The whole apocalypse is so big, you should go find another doctor."

Xu Junjun grabbed the quilt and wrapped it around herself, her face filled with annoyance.

"The poison has already seeped into his bloodstream. There's no dialysis machine here, so I'm still thinking a year is too long.

At most half a month, the child will start coughing up blood, lose interest in eating, and lose weight rapidly.

In a month, he will be just skin and bones.

Within half a year, all his energy was gone, and he was bedridden, unable to even get out of bed.

His condition will progress so rapidly that even if I try my best, I won’t be able to save his life.”

Jun Xiaochen's eyes suddenly became fierce:

"If I find the antidote, how likely are you to save him?"

Xu Junjun was very resistant to this question, but facing Jun Xiaochen's burning gaze, she hesitated and spoke reluctantly:

"At most 30%."

The child's body was completely eroded by the poison. Even if the poison was removed, subsequent recovery would be a big problem.

But no matter what, short life is inevitable.

Thirty percent?

Jun Xiaochen was obviously not satisfied with this answer, but at the moment saving the little emperor's life was the most important thing. Even if it was only 30%, he would try his best.

It was he who chose this child in the beginning.

Now that you have promoted him to a high position, you must protect him and help him grow up.

Even though the kid made some wrong choices along the way, he was determined to save his life no matter what.

"You must find a way to suppress the poison in his body. Within one month, I will deliver the antidote to you."

Jun Xiaochen stared at Xu Junjun, his eyes gleaming with a chilling cold light in the darkness.

Xu Junjun didn't know where he found the antidote in a month, but when Jun Xiaochen said this, she vaguely felt that he seemed to know who the murderer was.

Pursing her lips, Xu Junjun looked up at Jun Xiaochen.

Thinking of what he just said, he said firmly:

"It's okay for me to help you, but I have a condition!"

Jun Xiaochen looked at her without saying anything, and Xu Junjun continued to talk:

"You must give me the antidote to the Heart-Eating Pill now!

Otherwise, this deal is off the table!"

Jun Xiaochen frowned:

"This king said, after the matter is accomplished..."

"I do not accept."

Xu Junjun interrupted him and looked at the standing man in the dim candlelight.

The man was tall, and the brutality and murderous intent in his eyes seemed to have substance in the cramped space. Xu Junjun tilted her head back, the determination in her large eyes clear and distinct:

"If you want me to take action, you must accept my conditions."

One attack in exchange for one antidote, very fair.

Moreover, Xu Junjun was certain that Jun Xiaochen would not be able to find anyone more suitable than her in a short period of time.

He will definitely compromise!

Sure enough, after a long silence, the man finally spoke:

“I will send someone to deliver the antidote tomorrow morning.

Tonight, you must give the recipe to suppress the poison.

Don't try to fool me, or you will suffer the consequences."

After saying this, Jun Xiaochen quickly left with his long legs.

After staring at the dark golden patterns on his robe for a few seconds, Xu Junjun breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the door creak shut. Her sweaty hands under the quilt finally saw the light of day.

Sitting up, Xu Junjun squeezed his limp palms, feeling relieved.

The conversation with Jun Xiaochen just now was not as easy as it seemed, but fortunately Jun Xiaochen finally agreed to her.

No one knows where Jun Xiaochen got this Heart-Eating Pill from. It has a complex toxicity. She will analyze it carefully after getting the antidote tomorrow.

Planning for tomorrow's affairs, Xu Junjun threw off the quilt, got out of bed and got dressed.

After checking the time, Xu Junjun lit the candles in the whole house and asked the maid to bring in paper, pen and food.

When Jun Xiaochen brought Xu Junjun into the mansion, he did not tell her her identity.

But as the first woman to live in the Regent's Palace, everyone in the palace treated her with great respect.

As soon as she opened her mouth, four hot dishes, a soup, and fine writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone were delivered to the room.

After finishing the meal and feeling a little warmer, Xu Junjun asked someone to clear away the leftovers, picked up the tip of her pen, and began to ponder the prescription under the candlelight.

Once you concentrate on doing something, you will ignore the changes around you.

Xu Junjun worked for more than three hours, rejecting one prescription after another, replacing dozens of medicinal materials, and finally wrote more than ten pages of paper to preliminarily draft the final prescription.

However, this was only the first prescription she wrote based on the little emperor's physical condition. If she really wanted to implement it, she had to go to the palace again to confirm the little emperor's pulse before she could implement it.

I will discuss the matter of entering the palace with Jun Xiaochen in detail tomorrow.

Yawning, with his eyes dark and droopy, Xu Junjun blew out the candle, climbed onto the bed, put the prescription under his pillow, blew out the candle and went to sleep.

When she opened her eyes again, Xu Junjun was woken up by a maid from the palace.

She opened her eyes with difficulty and checked the time. It had been just over an hour since she went to bed.

Rubbing his face in annoyance and cursing his shitty life, Xu Junjun resigned himself to his fate, got up, dressed, and washed up.

The maid brought hot water into the house. Xu Junjun had just dressed and was about to have breakfast when Wei Dong, with a serious face, walked into the house holding an exquisite wooden box.

"Miss Xu."

He nodded and greeted Xu Junjun. As she responded tiredly, Wei Dong opened the wooden box in his hand, revealing the blood-red pill inside.

As soon as the box was opened, a pungent smell instantly filled the room.

Xu Junjun arched her nose, put down her porridge, and looked at the wooden box in Weidong's hand.

"Miss Xu, this is what the master promised you last night.

Please keep it."

Placing the rosewood box with the word "Jun" carved on it next to Xu Junjun, Wei Dong looked at Xu Junjun's face, unable to conceal his curiosity, and spoke respectfully:

"The master is waiting for you at the gate of the mansion. If Miss Xu has packed everything, please go over there early."

To be honest, now Weidong admires Xu Junjun from the bottom of his heart.

Especially after witnessing her fierceness and courage in the palace yesterday, I felt that she was a breath of fresh air among women.

During the Tianqi Dynasty, no one dared to openly challenge the Empress Dowager.

No one dared to slap the most noble woman of Apocalypse in front of all the guards.

But Xu Junjun not only did these things, but also did them in a grand manner, shocking the entire harem.

Although she finally escaped unscathed thanks to the protection of her master, Wei Dong still felt that she was extremely brave and courageous, which completely overturned his understanding of women over the past twenty years.

Thinking of his master calling Xu Junjun his wife in the palace, Wei Dong looked even more respectful, and treated Xu Junjun with the same attitude as his own master.

Xu Junjun didn't notice Wei Dong's change of mood. When the antidote arrived, she was so excited that her eyes lit up and she simply didn't eat breakfast.

She happily hid the rosewood box under her pillow and told the maid not to touch anything in the house. Xu Junjun walked out of the yard with Weidong, her eyes full of joy.

At this moment, it was still dark, the same time as yesterday. Xu Junjun saw a tall and handsome man illuminated by the light of lanterns at the gate of the mansion.

Maybe it was because he had just found the antidote, but Xu Junjun felt that Jun Xiaochen looked better today than he did last night.

It was obvious that Jun Xiaochen's mood was not as bright as Xu Junjun's.

Seeing her coming, the man stepped into the carriage with an expressionless face and signaled to set off.

At the same time as yesterday, Xu Junjun and Jun Xiaochen appeared at the palace gate, causing a lot of buzzing discussions.
