Sima Lingchuan clenched his fists, filled with regret and a rapid thought. He spurred his horse and quickly arrived at the gate of the mansion. The carriage stopped abruptly at the gate, the driver pulled on the horse, and the horse neighed.

The owl landed on Mo Baiyun's arm. He opened the letter inside, which revealed that Wu Ziyan and Sima Lingchuan had been attacked on the street, and that Wu Ziyan had been pierced by an arrow and was on his way back.

Upon hearing the sound of horses neighing outside the mansion gate, Mo Baiyun immediately came out to greet them, his face revealing his anxiety. He should have realized that at such a crucial moment, he should have gone out with them.

Together they helped Wu Ziyan down from the carriage. She was in so much pain that she almost fainted and her consciousness was very shallow. Sima Lingchuan held her hand tightly, and Mo Baiyun comforted Sima Lingchuan: "Master, don't worry too much, the master will be alright."

Sima Lingchuan bit his lip and remained silent. It was all his fault. He could sense that those people were targeting him, but who knew it was all a misunderstanding? His eyes told him everything as he looked at Mo Baiyun.

Back in the room, Sima Lingchuan helped Wu Ziyan take off her clothes, which were covered in blood. Blood was still stuck to the fabric where the clothes were touching her skin. She left her undershirt on so that it would be easier for the doctor to examine her wounds later. Sima Lingchuan asked, "Xiao Yun'er, did you go to invite Doctor Han?"

"We're almost there, Master." Mo Baiyun was also anxious, but he was also thinking about the same problem as Wu Ziyan.

He slipped out and whistled into the open space. Several owls appeared, their eyes gleaming. He was chirping something, and then the owls flew away.

Inside the Han residence, the old physician Han was hurriedly packing his medicine chest when Han Yuxiu happened to see him and asked, "Mother, where are you rushing off to?"

"Oh dear, I forgot to tell you that I need to go to the Fourth Prince's place. The messenger is in a great hurry, but he didn't say what it was about. He just said that someone has been poisoned."

Han Yuxiu's heart tightened, and for some reason he thought of Wu Ziyan: "Then Mother, I'll go with you too."

"Then hurry up and get ready! They're waiting at the door."

Han Yuxiu packed his medicine box and went out with the old doctor Han to get into the carriage. The driver was very fast, as if they were being summoned by the King of Hell.

Before they could even ask about the specifics, they had already arrived at the entrance of the Marquis's residence. The coachman pulled on the horse and made a whistle, and then the wheels stopped, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Mo Baiyun paced back and forth at the gate of the mansion, and when the person finally arrived, he said, "Teacher! Hurry up!"

Seeing how anxious he was, she asked as she walked, "What happened?"

"Our master has been shot with an arrow, and the arrow was poisoned. The key point is that it wasn't from our Wu Dynasty!"

Dr. Han wanted to ask a few more questions, but then he saw Han Yuxiu was there too, so he paused and didn't say anything more. Mo Baiyun wasn't smiling like before; he just walked very fast ahead, and they followed behind.

Upon arriving at Wu Ziyan's residence, there were no other servants, only a few trusted servants carrying water in and out, all of which was clear red blood. Han Yuxiu frowned: "Where is the arrow wound?"

Mo Baiyun briefly explained the situation. Doctor Han went in. Sima Lingchuan was sitting there with a gloomy look in his eyes, but he was unusually clear-headed. When he saw Doctor Han come in, he quickly stood up to greet him: "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Han. Please go and see Ziyan."

Dr. Han walked to the bedside, and Sima Lingchuan didn't say much. He stood up and walked to the door to wait.

Wu Ziyan was still unconscious, her lips were turning bluish-purple, and her face looked gloomy. Han Yuxiu looked at Doctor Han and said, "Mother, this!"

“This poison isn’t actually one of the poisons in our dynasty. However, I do have some medicine on hand that can suppress the toxicity, but it’s probably not enough to completely eliminate it. For now, we should remove the arrowhead.” She analyzed as she taught Han Yuxiu.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and boil some water, then bring it in!" It was just a matter of going in and out to change the water, and everyone's expressions were very serious!

Doctor Han handed the scalpel to Han Yuxiu: "Here, take this."

"Mother, I..." He was still a little scared when he looked at the unconscious Wu Ziyan.

"You will always have to stand on your own two feet."

Han Yuxiu gritted his teeth, his hand holding the knife trembling, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. But he disinfected the knife with strong liquor, cut open the skin, removed the poisoned flesh, and dug out the arrowhead in one go.

During this time, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly until the arrow fell into the basin with a clanging sound, and only then did he exhale.

Dr. Han acted as an assistant, handing the powder to Han Yuxiu. When Han Yuxiu poured the powder with his hand, it was clear that his hand was trembling.

He finished bandaging Wu Ziyan, but seeing that Wu Ziyan's expression hadn't improved at all, Doctor Han wrote down the prescription: "Xiao Yun'er, get the medicine!"

Mo Baiyun took the prescription and glanced at it. These were all extremely poisonous substances. He looked at Doctor Han with his eyes and asked for his opinion. Doctor Han nodded: "She was poisoned with the Five Poisons Powder specially made by the Xiao Rong Kingdom. The only way to treat it is to fight poison with poison."

Mo Baiyun went out quickly and returned just as quickly. He was very familiar with these poisons. He ordered the people in the backyard to brew the medicine, and then everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat in the courtyard.

Sima Lingchuan asked, "Doctor Han, how is Ziyan?"

"Master Sima, to tell you the truth, the Fourth Prince's condition is not very optimistic. If there is no antidote, he may... But I remember that when she cured General Situ's poison last time, she carried some pills that should be able to cure her poison. Even if they can't, they should greatly alleviate the symptoms."

Even if Doctor Han said so, Sima Lingchuan didn't know where the pills were. Now that Wu Ziyan was unconscious, they searched the entire room but couldn't find the medicine bottle.

Mo Baiyun asked, "Is there any other way?"

"Yes, there are, but I don't know..."

"Teacher! Please tell me quickly, I'm so impatient!"

“I do know of a secret place. It’s where my master took me when I was young. There’s a strange herb growing by the deep valley and cold pool there. It’s extremely yin and poisonous. Maybe it can cure the Fourth Prince’s poison.”

Sima Lingchuan's eyes were resolute: "Where?"

Doctor Han hesitated for a moment, looking at him and then at Mo Baiyun. At this moment, Han Yuxiu spoke up: "Mother, why don't I go and find that medicine?"

Doctor Han shook his head: "Only the Fourth Prince himself can do this. She also needs to soak in the cold pool for a sufficient amount of time to completely remove the toxins."

The group fell silent. Just then, someone excitedly shouted, "He's awake! He's awake! Master is awake!"

Everyone looked towards the room at the same time, and then walked towards it in unison. Sima Lingchuan walked in front, almost disregarding his demeanor as a husband, and quickly ran into the room: "Ziyan! Do you still have the antidote pills we gave General Situ last time?"
