Weidong was sweating profusely, his head almost dropping to his crotch:

"Master, please forgive me. I thought Miss Xu was an ally, so I said a few extra words.

From now on, I will be very careful with my words and actions and will not reveal any information about my master."

Jun Xiaochen put down the memorial with a bang, raised his eyes and glanced at it calmly:

"Go down and receive your punishment."

Wei Dong nodded with tears in his eyes, performed the ceremony and walked out of the study room in a miserable state.

For the next half month, everyone in the Regent's Palace was very busy.

Jun Xiaochen goes out early and comes back late every day, and Xu Junjun has rarely seen him.

Xu Junjun opened a pharmacy in her own courtyard to make medicine. With Jun Xiaochen's tacit approval, expensive medicinal materials were delivered into the courtyard like water.

First, he refined a pill that could suppress the toxicity in the little emperor's body and sent it to Jun Xiaochen. Then Xu Junjun started to refine a healing pill with mild medicinal effects.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye. After Xu Junjun analyzed the ingredients of the Heart-Eating Pill and imitated two identical antidotes, he took the blood-red pill given by Jun Xiaochen.

As soon as he took the medicine, Xu Junjun felt abdominal cramps, which were even more severe than the last time the poison took effect.

He fell sideways on the bed, enduring wave after wave of severe pain. He was in a daze for an unknown period of time. Then, Xu Junjun got up from the bed with a face as pale as a ghost, as if he had been fished out of the water. He called for someone to bring him hot water for washing and changing clothes.

The maidservant serving in the courtyard was shocked by Xu Junjun's miserable condition. She asked several times whether she wanted to ask a doctor to come and take a look, but Xu Junjun refused every time.

After taking a hot bath, changing into clean clothes and eating, Xu Junjun was fully revived.

Although his energy and spirit were somewhat damaged, there was a sense of relief that filled his heart, making Xu Junjun smile.

After carefully taking her own pulse and confirming that the poison from the Heart-Eating Pill had been resolved, Xu Junjun jumped up happily, humming a little tune and began to write a letter.

She wanted to tell Niao Niao the good news, and also ask her how she and the little one were doing now.

Counting the time, the little guy is now several months old. Time flies.

She had to hurry to find the antidote to the Zi Mu Dan and quickly return to the Great Sage to find Niao Niao. She had been away for so long and she missed playing with her good sisters so much.

After writing the letter, Xu Junjun took out the pills specially made for the little guy and Niao Niao, and happily went to find Wei Dong with the pills in her arms.

Wei Dong's back injury had not healed yet, and Jun Xiaochen had not assigned him any tasks for some time, so he took off his clothes and lay down in the house to rest.

When Xu Junjun entered the room with the pills and the letter, Weidong was lying on the bed reading a book. The door was kicked open. Weidong turned around with an angry face and was about to curse when he saw that it was Xu Junjun. He was so scared that he almost rolled off the bed.

"Miss Xu!"

Wei Dong was shirtless, his face flushed red, and he hurriedly grabbed the clothes thrown on the corner of the bed and put them on.

The clothes rubbed against the wound, causing Wei Dong's red face to twist in pain.

Xu Junjun stared at him in confusion:

"Why are you acting like a young wife being harassed? It's not like I haven't seen anything yet."

Wei Dong choked on his saliva and almost suffocated to death.

After putting on his clothes crookedly, Wei Dong stood up straight and touched his head:

"Miss Xu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Xu Junjun was not polite either. She stuffed the envelope and the pill into Wei Dong's arms and said sternly:

"Find a way to get this letter and the elixir to Yuncheng, and then have your subordinates bring me a reply."

Weidong was embarrassed holding his things:

"All our people in Yuncheng are dead. If we send anyone there now and the Great Saint Emperor finds us, I'm afraid..."

"We've been discovered. Why don't you just deliver the letter?"

Xu Junjun was impatient to waste time on these trivial matters, so he threw the problem to Wei Dong and turned back to his yard.

They brought her to Apocalypse, and it was their headache to deliver the letter!

Wei Dong stood there for a while holding the things, finally put on his outer robe, and resigned himself to walking towards his master's study.

Halfway through the walk, Wei Dong remembered that his master had not returned home yet. He slapped his forehead and walked back with his things in his arms.

Late at night, Jun Xiaochen returned to the palace with a cold look on his face. Wei Dong had been waiting in the study for a long time.

"Master, today Miss Xu gave me this letter and the elixir and asked me to send them back to Yuncheng. Do you want to do it?"

Jun Xiaochen sat down in the chair, pressed his brow, glanced at the red letter on the table, thought for a moment and said:

"Arrange for someone to deliver it to her."

"Our people in Yuncheng are gone. If you want to deliver the letter for Miss Xu, I need to make new arrangements."

Wei Dong bowed and reported, Jun Xiaochen hummed:

"You go and handle this matter. Has Xu Junjun been out of the house in the past few days?"

"Miss Xu has been refining medicine in the courtyard these days and has never left the house."

Jun Xiaochen glanced at Wei Dong's back and suddenly said:

"Tomorrow you will go to the imperial capital for me and bring back something."

There has been some clues about the little emperor's poisoning. Weidong has been resting for a few days and it is time for him to go out and exercise.

Wei Dong: "I obey your command."

After giving Wei Dongxin the elixir, Xu Junjun returned to the yard and plunged into the sea of ​​medicinal herbs.

It was not until it was completely dark and the maid had delivered dinner that she realized it was already dark.

After finishing her dinner in a hurry, Xu Junjun went to the pharmacy to soak her medicine.

When Jun Xiaochen stepped into Xu Junjun's yard, he was startled by the strong smell of medicine.

The door to the courtyard was wide open, and the shadow of the woman busy among the pile of medicinal herbs was stretched into a narrow and swaying shape by the candlelight.

Jun Xiaochen stood outside for a moment, looked at Xu Junjun's particularly serious face when she was busy, and walked into the room.

"Hey, you're back so early today?"

A candle flickered beside her, and Xu Junjun looked up and was a little surprised to see Jun Xiaochen, whom she hadn't seen for a few days.

"Well, earlier today."

Jun Xiaochen lowered his eyes and looked at the busy woman:

"The emperor has already taken the medicine you sent."

Xu Junjun looked up:

"How's the effect?"

Jun Xiaochen nodded:

"It's okay."

Xu Junjun curled her lips:

“How could it be possible!

With so many top-grade medicinal materials, I spent so much effort to make a few pills, and the effect of each one is amazing.

Although it is only a temporary solution and not a cure, it can at least delay the little emperor's physical decline.

You said it was okay, as if everyone could make this medicine, and you made my contribution worthless."

Jun Xiaochen's eyes fell on her long raven-feather eyelashes, and after a moment of silence, he said truthfully:

"I asked the Imperial Hospital to try to refine your elixir, but none of them succeeded. Your attainments in treating poisons are truly extraordinary."

Xu Junjun kept picking up the herbs in his hands and snorted:

"Of course, this lady's alchemy skills are inherited from her ancestors!

Twenty years of experience is no exaggeration."

Xu Junjun was too complacent and didn't notice that Jun Xiaochen looked at her with a hint of scrutiny.

Twenty years?

The woman in front of me is only in her twenties, where does she get twenty years of experience from?

“But to be honest, anyone who can enter the Imperial Hospital must have some abilities.

As long as they are given time to ponder, refining the elixir is a matter of time."

While Xu Junjun was still talking, Jun Xiaochen suppressed his doubts and frowned:

"I don't have time for them to figure it out. The Emperor has already started coughing up blood today."

Knowing that this man had no good intentions towards her, Xu Junjun glared at him and handed the refined health-preserving pill to the man.

"Here, let your little emperor take this medicine together. The symptoms of coughing up blood will be alleviated by two points."

After giving the pill, Xu Junjun glanced at Jun Xiaochen and reminded him:

"The one-month deadline is almost here. Do you have any idea about the antidote?"
