Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Mo Yu's heart skipped a beat. "Wu'er, tell me, what did you hear?"

Yang Jianwu initially only suspected that Mo Yu was hiding something from him, but seeing his reaction now, she was even more certain. "Mo Yu, I haven't heard anything. But you, are you really hiding something from me?"

"Wu'er, don't overthink it. I'm not hiding anything, and you're truly the only one in my heart."

Yang Jianwu found Mo Yu's repeated declarations of loyalty ironic. Wasn't this just a sign of insecurity? Why did she think Qifei's child would be different?! He wasn't Qifei; he was a prince raised by the royal family, nurtured from a young age. How could he possibly have the same thoughts as Qifei?!

Yang Jianwu took a deep breath and said to Mo Yu seriously, "Mo Yu, I don't know what rumors are circulating in the capital, but from the moment you stopped wanting only me, it became impossible for us to be together. Since you've chosen the whole forest, don't be greedy for a single tree on the edge of it."

Mo Ye found Yang Jianwu's analogy quite novel, and it seemed to make sense... He silently nodded in agreement.

Yang Jianwu glanced at Mo Ye and thought to herself that Prince Ning was a year older than Mo Yu and was also a prince. He probably already had tutors and maids serving him at night, and his mansion might even have a large number of concubines. The men were all big pigs, looking gentle and harmless on the outside, but in reality they were all the same.

Mo Ye was unaware that he had also been labeled a "big pig's trotter" (a derogatory term for a man who is considered unworthy of respect), and he was puzzled as to why Xiao Wu'er was looking at him with such an expression as if he were a plague.

Yang Jianwu just wanted to get away from the two princes at this moment. She said to Mo Ye and Mo Yu, "Your Highnesses, wild pheasant is even more delicious with wild mushrooms. While there is still sunshine, I will go ahead and pick some. I will meet up with everyone at the camp later. Mu Jin and Zi Ping, follow me." She gave a simple bow and, without waiting for the princes' consent, spurred her horse and rode off. The two maids did not dare to look at the two princes' expressions and hurriedly followed their young mistress.

A man, a horse, the clatter of hooves and a silent sigh piercing the twilight sky, indifferent to coming or going, watching the clouds drift and gather in the heavens.

Yang Jianwu and her two maids picked some edible mushrooms, then she told them to go back and prepare dinner while she went to the woods to relax.

Wandering casually through the forest, not in a hurry to return, the already dwindling sunlight barely penetrated the woods, making them even darker. Since treating Jing Nan last time, her spatial dimension had undergone a minor upgrade, automatically recognizing nearby herbs and poisons. This was a treasure for Yang Jianwu; she didn't need to search deliberately, simply following the prompts to find them—it was incredibly user-friendly.

The woman, feeling smug, followed the signs and picked various herbs, unaware that she had already reached the depths of the forest.

"Castor bean, white snake root, water hemlock..." A series of poisonous plant names appeared in the space, making Yang Jianwu feel dizzy. How could this be! These poisonous plants couldn't possibly grow in the same place at the same time, so there was only one possibility: there was poison made from these plants nearby!

He picked up a long branch from the ground and used it to examine the surrounding weeds to see if it was poison pills or poison powder.

Yang Jianwu searched for a while but couldn't find it. Thinking it was already completely dark, she decided to go back if she couldn't find it soon. Casually, she poked a branch into a bush. Hmm? Why does it feel so...fleshy? Is it an animal carcass? Maybe she should just leave.

"Cough cough..." A weak cough came from the bushes; it was a person!

The space then revealed the name of the poison, "Lover's Tears." The poisoned person first experiences weakness throughout their body, followed by a high fever and a feeling of suffocation, and finally enters a hallucination where they die peacefully, receiving tenderness like a lover.

Yang Jianwu took out a solar-powered flashlight from her spatial storage and immediately followed the sound. She found a person with a blood-covered face lying behind a bush. The flashlight beam shone through the clothes, which were white with bright, contrasting stripes of rain-like fabric. The stripes were decorated with auspicious clouds and mythical beasts. This was rain-patterned brocade, a type of Shu brocade.

"This person is dressed so luxuriously, he must be rich and noble. Such a person is either an asset or a nuisance. Should we save him or not?" Yang Jianwu muttered to herself. Maybe we shouldn't save him. There are so many grudges in the world, how can she possibly manage them all? Even for the sake of medical points, she can't cause trouble for herself.

Just as Yang Jianwu was about to leave, the injured man used his last strength to cry for help, "Don't go...please...save me..."

Seeing Yang Jianwu hesitate, he continued, "I promise... I won't... cause you... any trouble... Save me."

His voice was weak and hoarse, but steady, and thankfully, it had a magnetic quality. Should I save him?

"Let's make this clear first, I won't ask who you are or what caused your injury. I'll just save you. Whether you survive or not is up to your own fate." Yang Jianwu was afraid of getting into trouble, so she decided not to go all the way with the rescue.

“Okay… thank you for your trouble…” the man replied.

Yang Jianwu used the space's instruments to scan his entire body and take his pulse. There were no obvious external injuries, and the blood on his face was someone else's. His internal injuries were not serious; a pill would fix it.

The poisoning is a bit troublesome; it requires acupuncture. It's already dark; what if I go to the wrong acupoints? If I touch him while administering the acupuncture, won't he think I'm taking advantage of him? Didn't I get misunderstood before for kindly tearing Mo Ye's clothes? This is really a dilemma.

The injured man frowned slightly as he looked at Yang Jianwu. Knowing the nature of his poison, he assumed she couldn't save him and didn't force the issue. He had already reached his limit by escaping this far; he would have asked anyone for help if he encountered one. If he lived, it was a blessing from heaven; if he was destined to die, it was fate. "Don't feel...burdened...life and death...are in the hands of fate...I don't blame...you...after I die...it has nothing to do with you..."

“Well, it’s not that it can’t be saved…” Yang Jianwu hesitated.

The injured man's eyes lit up slightly after hearing this, "Then..."

Seeing that the person was having so much trouble speaking, Yang Jianwu finished her sentence in one go: "For your internal injuries, I'll just leave you two pills; as for the poison, I need acupuncture. The lighting is bad right now, and even with a flashlight, I'm afraid I'll apply the acupuncture to the wrong spot. Other places are fine, but the acupoints on your chest are connected to vital points, so I need to use my fingers to pinpoint the acupoints on your body. Don't think I'm taking advantage of you!"

The injured man thought it was some kind of difficult problem, but in the face of life and death, everything else was trivial. "Please go ahead..."

"Okay." Seeing that the other person agreed, Yang Jianwu did not hesitate any longer.

This time, Yang Jianwu didn't tear the clothes directly. She carefully untied the waist belt and pulled the collar slightly to the sides to reveal her chest. If you asked her why she didn't tear it this time, the answer was that the clothes were too expensive, and what if she had to pay for them... Besides, they were in the middle of nowhere, and if she tore them, she would be left barely clothed, which wouldn't be right. She was still very kind-hearted.
