Su Que's acupuncture points were finally unblocked by the old man.

The old man whispered to her, "Good girl, take the men to guard this place. I'll take the barefoot doctor down to detoxify your brother."

At first, Su Que really thought that something had happened to Qiao Xi, until Changsheng and Xiaoman left and he saw that the old man and Lai Chijiao were not in a hurry.

She realized something was wrong, but before she could ask anything, the old man diagnosed her acupuncture points.

Later, after hearing what the old man and Lai Chijiao said to provoke Su Heting, she became more certain of her thoughts.

He tried his best to think of some sad things, making his dried tears flow out again, so that he could cooperate.

She wanted to scold the old man for even deceiving her, but then she thought about it: her brother was smart, and if they weren't more convincing, how could she make her brother believe her?

Detoxification is a big deal, and the rest of the account can be settled later. She nodded and walked towards Zhou Chongwu and others who followed Su Heting.

While Su Que and others were upstairs dealing with the Zhou family, Changsheng, the old man who was determined to jump down even if he stood still, went down into the cave with Lai Chijiao.

Su Heting fell asleep after Qiao Xi pressed his acupoints, but his face was pale without a trace of blood.

"Hurry, help him sit down."

Lai Chijiao took out the medicine he had prepared in advance from his arms and handed it to Qiao Xi, while taking out the antidote from his medical bag.

This was the medicine he specially developed to detoxify Su Heting. Qiao Xi took it and was about to feed it to Su Heting.

But she found that his teeth were clenched tightly. Qiao Xi suddenly remembered that when the queen died, Su Heting was also like this, gritting his teeth and saying nothing.

He was taught to be reserved since he was young, and was afraid of expressing his emotions by opening his mouth when encountering problems, so he developed this habit.

After pinching his jaw hard but failing to get him to open his mouth, Qiao Xi suddenly regretted it.

You shouldn't provoke him in such a cruel way.

The old man saw what she was thinking and turned away, pulling the barefooted man. "Give it to him, quickly."

Although he was unconscious, he was not completely unconscious. He didn't believe that this brat had no reaction after being kissed by his wife.

Qiao Xi took a deep breath, kissed Su Heting on the lips, managed to pry open his teeth, and hurriedly handed the medicine in.

After smoothing the medicine down his throat a few more times and waiting for him to swallow it, Qiao Xi whispered, "It's done."

Lai Chijiao quickly opened the cloth bag containing the silver needles and said, "I want to use acupuncture to force out the poison. Princess, please use your inner strength to help me."

"it is good."

Qiao Xi nodded, then sat cross-legged behind Su Heting, pressing his palms against Su Heting's back while the old man assisted the barefooted man.

When Grand Tutor Zhou heard that Qiao Xi had gotten into trouble, and then heard that Su Heting had also jumped into the canyon, he became anxious waiting at home, so he asked the guards to carry him up the mountain.

But after waiting for a long time at the top of the canyon, no one came up, and Su Que refused to let them go down.

In addition, the guards of the Zhou family who came with them to hunt were sent by the old man to release smoke at the foot of the mountain, and Grand Tutor Zhou realized that something was wrong.

After waiting for more than an hour, Grand Tutor Zhou finally asked, "Miss Que, what exactly is going on?"

Previously, Su Que only told them that Qiao Xi was lucky and fell into a cave halfway up the mountain and was found by Su Heting. He was just injured, so the old man took the bald man barefoot down to treat him.

But if you look closely at this reason, you will find that it is just an excuse.

Now that she was asked by Grand Tutor Zhou again, she could only say, "Please forgive me. I will wait for my grandfather and brother to come up and tell you the details. I am only here to guard as ordered."

The old man did not tell her whether she could tell the truth to Grand Tutor Zhou. She also didn't know whether Grand Tutor Zhou knew that Su Heting was poisoned, so she didn't want to say more.

But seeing that Grand Tutor Zhou was so old and was exposed to the wind, he felt a little sorry for him and said, "Brother and sister-in-law will be fine, you don't have to worry. Why don't you go back home first?"

Zhou Chongwu felt sorry for his father and said, "Yes, father, why don't you go back first."

Grand Tutor Zhou waved his hand and said, "I'll wait a little longer."

But my mind gradually became clear.

As soon as he arrived in Jiangning, Qingyun clamored to go hunting, which was not in line with the style of the ghost army commander.

He had never seen Qiao Xi's true skills, but he knew Qing Yun's abilities well, so he shouldn't be frightened by the poisonous snake.

Even if Qiao Xi really fell, with Qingyun's love for the younger generation, he would not say those words that would add fuel to the fire, especially those smokescreens.

It seemed that all this was just to make Su Heting believe that something really happened to Qiao Xi.

Su Heting was so concerned that he didn't notice the flaw, or maybe he saw the flaw, but since it was someone he loved, he didn't dare to be careless.

Then think about the fact that Su Heting had been carrying poison since he was a child, and the doctor that the old man took away.

Grand Tutor Zhou had already guessed most of the answer, and he just asked Su Que just to confirm it.

When he got Su Que's answer, he knew that Qingyun blamed him because of Huiyue and his two grandsons, and their brotherly relationship would never be the same as before.

A hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of his lips.

Back then, he vowed to protect Huiyue and her son, but when it came to the Zhou family's affairs, he eventually broke his promise.

It's right to blame him.

After figuring out the whole story, his worries dissipated a lot, except for the bitter feeling in his heart.

He signaled the Zhou family to step back and not to bother with Su Que anymore.

So he found a stone to sit on and waited quietly.

It just so happened that he was sitting facing Changsheng. When he saw the child whose acupuncture point had been determined, his eyes were red and he was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Thinking that this was also a poor person who was kept in the dark, his heart, which had been cold and hard all his life, suddenly softened, and he said to Changsheng, "Don't worry, they will be fine."

Changsheng couldn't listen, so when the old man pressed his acupoints, he whispered in his ear that his sister was fine.

But he wouldn't believe it unless he saw it with his own eyes. Besides, they hadn't come up for so long.

He was using his strength to open up his acupuncture points, and he wanted to go down to find his sister.

Grand Tutor Zhou noticed his abnormality and said, "You are harming your own body by doing this. If your sister is really in trouble and you hurt yourself, how will you protect her then?

People always have to protect themselves first before they can protect others."

He does not regret the decision he made back then.

But then I heard Changsheng say, "I won't hurt myself. What if something really happens to my elder sister? I protect myself but fail to save her. What's the point?

Please help me untie it, I want to go find my sister."

"Aren't you afraid that if you jump, nothing will be left?"

Changsheng was willing to talk to Grand Tutor Zhou because he hoped he could help him. Seeing that he was wavering, he hurriedly said, "If I go down and die, then my sister will be in great danger as well.

But if I go down, there is always a chance that we can support each other and survive together."

He had never said so much to outsiders. It was because Xiaoman and the others had received the old man's order and did not dare to unblock his acupuncture points. They could only stare at Grand Tutor Zhou eagerly and said, "Help me unblock it quickly. I care about my sister, so how could I be afraid?"

Grand Tutor Zhou was slightly startled.

After a moment, he laughed at himself and said, "I am so thoughtful. I am not as insightful as a child like you."

He stood up and untied Changsheng's acupoint.

If he had not hidden in Jiangning to protect the Zhou family, but had firmly guarded the prince.

Perhaps the prince would not have died, and Dayou would not have become what he is today, but he did not dare to gamble with the Zhou family.

In the end, he was the one who let her down.

Changsheng didn't care what Grand Tutor Zhou was thinking. Now that he was free, he picked up the rope on the ground and tied it around his waist, regardless of Chenshan, Xiaoman and others' attempts to stop him.

Once tied up, the person will jump down.

Fortunately, the old man came up with his scabby bare feet and knocked him on the head. "If you are so disobedient, I will complain to your sister."

"Where's my sister?"

Changsheng was not afraid of being complained and asked hurriedly.

There was no need for the old man to answer. Qiao Xi put her arms around Su Heting's waist and jumped up from underneath.

Seeing that she was really fine, it seemed that Su Heting was the one who was in trouble and was unconscious.

Changsheng was happy and didn't care about Su Heting occupying his sister all the time. He bent down and squatted in front of Su Heting, "I'll carry you."

Qiao Xi had used up too much of his internal energy and was indeed tired. Without being polite, he placed the person on his back. Chen Shan, who was a step late, hurriedly supported him and said, "You carry him first, and I'll take over later."

The old man glanced at Grand Tutor Zhou and said, "Why are you here too? The wind is so strong, let's go down the mountain."

Grand Tutor Zhou smiled and said, "Okay."

He didn't ask any more questions about Su Heting.

Furthermore, some broken relationships are difficult to return to the way they were before.

The old man didn't say much, just said, "We will go back in two days."

Grand Tutor Zhou nodded, and the two of them said nothing more.

Qiao Xi listened to the conversation between the two and realized that something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, she understood. She subconsciously looked at Su Heting, but met his gloomy eyes. Qiao Xi suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.

Su Heting is going to settle the score with her later.
