Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

The old doctor wasn't embarrassed at all; he was still looking at Mu Xue with shining eyes.

Mu Xue felt that if she didn't speak up, the old doctor might kneel down and become her disciple in the next second.

Mu Xue hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Master Yao, this is unacceptable! I'm so young, how can I be your master? Don't you agree, Ye Shangyuan?"

Mu Xue turned to look at Ye Shangyuan and gave him a meaningful look.

Ye Shangyuan was also somewhat flustered, not expecting that Yao Lao was really so unpredictable.

He coughed twice to clear his throat, covering up his earlier lapse in composure, before slowly saying, "Master Yao, please don't make things difficult for Mu Mu. She's still young. If you really become her disciple, how many people will humiliate her if word gets out?"

Seeing that Ye Shangyuan had spoken, Mu Xue quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, Grandpa Yao, let's not talk about becoming his apprentices. There are many herbs I don't understand and would like to ask you for advice. Right?"

The old doctor looked at Ye Shangyuan suspiciously, then at Mu Xue, and asked with a hint of disbelief, "Really? This little girl has questions for me?"

Mu Xue nodded eagerly and said, "Yes, yes, there are many names for medicinal herbs, as well as their effects. I still have so many questions to ask!"

Mu Xue wasn't wrong about that. There were indeed some uncommon medicinal herbs in this time and space whose names differed from Mu Xue's knowledge. She wanted to find someone knowledgeable to ask and verify them.

The old doctor nodded, saying with a hint of regret, "Yes, when ancient medicine was prevalent, there were many kinds of herbs. Now, the uses of many herbs have been lost. What we have now are the result of the explorations of various doctors in recent years! It hasn't been easy!"

Mu Xue never beat around the bush, and she asked directly, "Grandpa Yao must have come to help the Regent detoxify, right?"

The old apothecary's expression finally turned serious. It wasn't that he didn't believe in Mu Xue's abilities; it was just that he had been researching this poison for nearly five years, and all he could do was suppress the speed at which the poison spread.

He cautiously asked, "Little girl, I don't mean to look down on you, but I've searched through all the medical books and poisons in the world and found no related records. Even the name 'Invulnerable' was mentioned once in a secret technique passed down orally in my Immortal Medicine Valley. To be honest, my knowledge of the name of this poison is all speculation."

He glanced at Ye Shangyuan sitting not far away, then at Mu Xue, and asked, "Little girl, how did you know about this poison and confirm that Ye Shangyuan was poisoned by it?"

Mu Xue smiled helplessly. She thought to herself, she couldn't very well tell the old medicine master and the others that she had been researching this poison for almost three years in her previous life.

Moreover, long before Mu Xue transmigrated here, she had already used various advanced instruments to analyze the components of the poison and identified the corresponding toxin using scientific biological methods. She just hadn't had time to prepare an antidote before arriving in this time and space.

Mu Xue pondered her words for a moment, then explained earnestly, "This poison was actually made using ancient medical techniques, and I've already inquired about the necessary ingredients; no one has discovered them for many years. This kind of poison is strictly forbidden among ancient doctors; it's considered a banned drug. I think the one in the Regent's possession is probably the only one left."

“Since someone has concocted the poison, someone will always research and concoct the antidote. As a descendant of ancient doctors, I am naturally more familiar with these things,” Mu Xue said.

The old doctor nodded knowingly; Mu Xue's words did indeed make sense.

He asked with some concern, "I heard from Xiao Jiu that you also have poison in your body? Won't that affect your performance?"

Mu Xue smiled and said to the old doctor, "The poison in my body is similar to that of the prince. They are of the same type, and the medicinal materials used are also similar. Moreover, I have been using ancient medical methods to regulate my body, so it is not suitable to detoxify now. Besides, the regent has too much of a temper, and the poison in his body cannot withstand his torment anymore."

Everyone around him turned to look at Ye Shangyuan, who could only sit there with a straight face, pretending to be calm.

Leng Quan wanted to laugh but dared not, for this was the first time he had ever seen Ye Shangyuan like this.

On the other hand, the old apothecary nodded in agreement and said to Mu Xue, "Then let's detoxify now?"

“No rush. His Highness has only recently recovered, and the detoxification process is dangerous. It’s better to wait until we return to the capital to ensure everything goes smoothly before proceeding with the detoxification,” Mu Xue said.

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everyone had finished their discussion, Ye Shangyuan asked, "Mumu, how about we set off for the capital tomorrow?"

In fact, Ye Shangyuan was also eager to get rid of the poison. If Mu Xue had said that he would be cured, his strength would be restored, and then he would be able to protect Mu Xue.

In his heart, Mu Xue was always a young woman who needed his protection.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xue was taken aback. She hadn't expected Ye Shangyuan to take her to the capital so soon.

She asked, puzzled, "So urgent? Does Your Highness have something important to attend to back home? Or has something happened to Princess Changyu?"

She didn't really want to go back with Ye Shangyuan right now, since they hadn't found Su Su's whereabouts yet.

Ye Shangyuan was aware of her concerns, and he said, "Yes. There's been some trouble in the capital, and I need to return as soon as possible."

"Then you can go back first. I'll come to the capital to find you after things are settled in Yu Nan City," Mu Xue replied.

“Miss Xue, it would be better if you came with us. If we all leave, it will be dangerous for you to run into trouble alone in Yu Nan City.” Leng Quan understood Ye Shangyuan’s concerns; he couldn’t bear to leave Mu Xue alone in Yu Nan City.

He actually wanted to remind Ye Shangyuan that Mu Xue was no ordinary person. Back in the Cangmang Mountains, countless wild beasts had died at Mu Xue's hands. Don't be fooled by her delicate and weak appearance; that was definitely an illusion!

Leaving aside Ye Yi, who was unconscious the whole time and only woke up a handful of times, Ye Shangyuan was different. He witnessed Mu Xue's terrifying talent the whole time, so how could he selectively forget it at this point?

But Leng Quan dared not say a single bad word about Mu Xue!

The thought of Mu Xue's smiling face and ruthless actions sent chills down Leng Quan's spine.

Ye Shangyuan didn't care what Leng Quan was thinking. He was just worried about Mu Xue wandering alone in a dangerous place like Yu Nan City.

He said, "Ye Yi, you and A Sheng will talk about the Jing Prince's Mansion tonight and find Su Su. If you can't find her at the Jing Prince's Mansion, I will personally come to ask for her."

Everyone was shocked. The Regent had personally come to demand the person, which meant he was about to break off relations with the Prince Jing's Mansion!

"Your Highness, please reconsider this matter!" Leng Quan hurriedly knelt on one knee and said anxiously.
