Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

As she spoke, Mingyue's eyes clearly revealed a pleading look.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan suddenly realized what was happening.

It turns out that Mingyue had asked Li Mingtian to prepare spiritual tea and fruits just to get Li Mingtian away so she could say those words to her.

Mingyue's meaning was quite clear: she didn't want Li Mingtian to know her true situation and be heartbroken.

"These two are truly a loving couple!"

One person, clinging to hope, desperately tried to save the patient.

One person kindly concealed the truth, while the other grieved alone.

To be honest, Chu Yunfan admired Li Mingtian and Mingyue as a couple.

In this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation where strength reigns supreme, there is still such a sincere love.

However, he held a different opinion regarding Mingyue's thoughts.

Therefore, he did not directly grant Mingyue's request, but instead said:

“Madam Mingyue, I understand your thoughts.”

But have you ever thought about this?

Lord Li has been trying every possible way to save you, day and night.

Then one day he discovered that you had suddenly left him, and everything he had done before was in vain.

Do you think he can accept this sudden and devastating blow?

Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's words, Mingyue's expression changed instantly, and a look of fear appeared on her face.

Clearly, Chu Yunfan's words hit the nail on the head, piercing through a fact that Mingyue had been unwilling to face.

In fact, Mingyue herself had thought of this as well.

However, she was unwilling to face it or think about it deeply.

But now, Chu Yunfan has laid this cruel reality before her, forcing her to confront it.

For a moment, Mingyue was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether she should tell Li Mingtian the truth.

However, before she could think of the answer to this question, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Clearly, Li Mingtian has returned.

Moreover, he personally brought in the spiritual tea and fruit, his purpose being to prevent the servants from disturbing Mingyue.

When Mingyue saw this scene, she understood Li Mingtian's actions and intentions perfectly, and her heart was filled with even more pain and confusion.

Chu Yunfan naturally noticed this as well.

To be honest, as a fellow man, he felt sorry for Li Mingtian.

His wife was already nearing the end, but he was completely unaware of this and was still hoping to find someone to concoct an elixir.

Although this was a well-intentioned lie by Mingyue.

However, the problem will not disappear by concealing it; it will only get bigger.

When the lie is exposed, Li Mingtian will face an even more brutal blow.

"Alright then, I'll do my best!"

Chu Yunfan sighed softly to himself.

He didn't even need to take Mingyue's pulse to know how severe her poisoning was, far more serious than Lin Tianya's before, and that she was basically beyond saving.

However, unable to bear it, he still decided to help the loving couple.

So, Chu Yunfan spoke up:

"Lord Li, we can talk about the spiritual tea and fruit later. Let me take your wife's pulse first!"

Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's words, Li Mingtian and Mingyue stared at him in astonishment and asked in unison:

"Taking your pulse? What does that mean?"

The concept of pulse diagnosis doesn't exist in the Azure Cloud Continent, so neither Li Mingtian nor Mingyue understood what Chu Yunfan meant by those words.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan offered a brief explanation.

"It means that I want Lady Mingyue to extend her wrist so that I can examine her internal condition!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mingtian nodded in realization.

Mingyue hesitated, unsure whether she should let Chu Yunfan examine her.

However, at that moment, Chu Yunfan arrived beside her and said:

"Lady Mingyue, as the saying goes, there's always a way out when you reach the mountain, and things will naturally straighten when you reach the bridge."

Let me examine it first; maybe I can find something and a better solution!

Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's words, Mingyue's expression relaxed, and she then extended her wrist.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan began to take her pulse.

After taking her pulse, Chu Yunfan asked Mingyue to open her mouth and stick out her tongue to examine her tongue and its coating.

Although Mingyue was a little confused and shy about sticking out her tongue, Chu Yunfan's calm and confident demeanor gave her a sense of trust, so she did as he said.

As for Li Mingtian, who was standing to the side, he also didn't understand the act of sticking out his tongue.

Based on his understanding, Chu Yunfan could control himself well even when facing Xiang Fei, and although his own wife was also a beauty, she wouldn't make Chu Yunfan do anything outrageous.

Therefore, he did not stop it.

However, Chu Yunfan's next words caused his expression to change drastically.

Because, after Chu Yunfan finished examining Mingyue's tongue, he suddenly said something to him.

"Lord Li, there's something I'm hesitant to say!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mingtian was undoubtedly flustered.

Because, generally speaking, the appearance of this phrase means that something unpleasant is about to be said.

What needed to be said was said directly.

People only ask whether something should be said or not if it shouldn't be said.

However, facts must always be faced. Li Mingtian adjusted his mood and replied:

"Brother Xuanyuan, please speak frankly if there's anything you need to say!"

Upon hearing this answer, Chu Yunfan turned to look at Mingyue. Seeing her hesitant expression, he didn't stop her and slowly said:

"To be honest, according to my examination, two kinds of toxins are intertwined in Madam Mingyue's body, penetrating deep into her blood vessels and internal organs. Her whole body is poisonous. Even the best Five Poison Pill would be ineffective. She is already nearing the end of her life!"

Based on my estimation, at this rate, Lady Mingyue has at most six months to live!

Upon hearing Chu Yunfan's words, Li Mingtian's pupils shrank sharply, his eyes filled with horror, and his face instantly turned pale.

Although he had prepared himself mentally, he still couldn't accept Chu Yunfan's words, and was so stunned that he stood there dumbfounded.

Then, as if he had found a lifeline, he suddenly muttered to himself:

"Impossible! Senior Danhuang previously stated that Mingyue would last for five years."

Only six months have passed, how could there only be six months left!

After speaking, Li Mingtian looked at Chu Yunfan and said:

"Brother Xuanyuan, did you check it wrong just now? Would you like to check it again?"

To be honest, if Li Mingtian hadn't witnessed Chu Yunfan's talent in alchemy firsthand, he would have doubted Chu Yunfan's medical skills, thought he was exaggerating, and then directly kicked him out. He wouldn't be as polite as he is now, asking Chu Yunfan to examine him again.

Upon hearing Li Mingtian's words, Chu Yunfan did not reply, but simply sighed, then turned to Mingyue and said:

“Madam Mingyue, look, even Lord Li can’t bear this news, how could he possibly bear the pain of your sudden departure!”

Hearing Chu Yunfan's words, Mingyue finally made up her mind, emerged from her state of confusion, and spoke to Li Mingtian:

"Brother Tian, ​​actually, what Senior Danhuang said before was that I only had one year left."

However, to avoid upsetting you, I specifically asked Senior Danhuang to change his wording to five years.

After she finished speaking, a deep sadness appeared in Mingyue's eyes.

Her words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, turning Li Mingtian's newly awakened hope into despair.

He stared blankly at the bright moon, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth.

When Mingyue saw Li Mingtian's reaction, tears involuntarily streamed down her face.

However, at that moment, Chu Yunfan suddenly spoke up:

"Actually, it's not entirely hopeless to remove the poison from Lady Mingyue's body and restore her life!"
