The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

She asked Chuanwu, "Is there an antidote for this medicine?"

“No, and if it were just the drinks there, there wouldn’t be such a strong reaction, so there would be no need for an antidote,” Chuan Wu explained.

He was now unsure whether Yue Li had simply drunk the drinks at Le Xiang Ge or had been deliberately drugged.

Clearly, Yue Li also wanted to know the answer.

"What's wrong with me now?" Yue Li asked with difficulty, struggling to suppress the waves of heat surging through her body.

We need to find a solution to her current situation. Otherwise, what if she does something irreversible while she's still not fully conscious? It will be too late then.

"Young Master Yue, I'm sorry, I haven't entered the Pleasure Pavilion, so I don't know your current situation?"

Looking at Chuan Wu bowing his head in remorse, Yue Li knew that this was not his fault, but rather her own carelessness in eating indiscriminately in that kind of place without understanding the situation.

She bit her tongue again, and in a moment of clarity, Yue Li thought of the antidote pill among the many pills in her space.

Although they didn't know if the antidote would work, they had no choice but to try anything.

Looking at Chuan Wu standing before her with his head bowed, Yue Li's remaining rationality prevented her from conjuring a bottle of pills out of thin air. Instead, she tucked the few trinkets she had bought on the long street, which she still clutched in her hand, into her belt. Then, she picked up the purse hanging at her waist, opened it, and, using the purse as a cover, took out a small jade bottle from her spatial storage. She opened the bottle, poured out a plump, round antidote pill the size of a soybean, and without hesitation, Yue Li put it into her mouth.

The pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth. This time, Yue Li didn't dare use her spiritual power to refine the pill. At this moment, she also remembered that when her body experienced this strange phenomenon in the Joyful Pavilion, she had used her spiritual power to alleviate the symptoms.

However, it now appears that using spiritual power not only fails to eliminate the effects of the medicine, but instead suppresses them within the body, causing them to erupt all at once, and this eruption is even stronger than the first one.

Now she can only wait for the antidote to take effect on its own.

The effects of the pill were as rapid as ever, but Yue Li also realized that the antidote pill she had taken only provided temporary relief and could not neutralize the drug in her body.

However, although it couldn't neutralize the effects of the medicine in her body, it did alleviate the heat in her body to some extent.

It's just unknown how long the effects of an antidote pill will last.

"Young Master Yue, what are you eating?" Chuan Wu was somewhat bewildered by Yue Li's series of actions.

Good heavens! Young Master Yue, please stop eating random things! If you get sick from eating this again, how will he explain it to his master?

Hearing Chuan Wu's somewhat grating voice and seeing his lifeless face, Yue Li's mind was a little sluggish from drinking. She said in a daze, "Ah! Didn't you say I was poisoned? I'm taking the antidote!"

"Does Young Master Yue have an antidote for this medicine?" This time it was Chuan Wu's turn to be surprised.

"No."

After answering Chuan Wu, Yue Li ignored him.

Although she had taken the antidote, she could clearly feel that the effects of the medicine in her body had not been neutralized, but rather temporarily suppressed by the antidote. Her body was still very hot, but she had regained some of her senses.

She needed to use this time while she was still relatively lucid to get back to the inn and think of a solution. Otherwise, if she stayed out on the street, who knew what she might do once the drug took effect again.

Ignoring Chuan Wu, who looked bewildered by her answer, Yue Li straightened her clothes and quickly headed back the way she came.

Seeing Yue Li regain her senses after taking the antidote and hurrying towards the inn, Chuan Wu didn't bother asking any more questions and quickly followed her.

This time, however, he did not deliberately distance himself from Yue Li, but followed her at a distance of two steps, in case she had another accident.

As Yue Li hurried forward, she felt the changes in her body. When she turned the corner of the road and walked onto the long street of the inn where she was staying, she noticed a heat slowly rising in her body.

Instantly, Yue Li's body stiffened. She hadn't expected that the effects of an antidote pill would only last for such a short time.

Without hesitation, Yue Li poured out an antidote pill from the small jade bottle she had been holding just in case, and swallowed it.

She didn't feel bad about consuming such low-grade detoxifying pills, because she had refined many such low-grade pills when she was just learning alchemy and practicing controlling the heat, and she had stored them in a corner of her space.

Throughout the process of taking the pill, Yue Li did not stop walking. Instead, she kept walking through the still bustling crowd towards the inn.

Because of the large number of people on this street, Chuanwu followed closely behind Yue Li and naturally saw her actions.

A sense of doubt arose in my mind, along with a great deal of worry.

Seeing that Yue Li is taking the antidote again, I'm afraid that the antidote won't last much longer. I just wonder why the master that Huang Zhong asked to invite hasn't arrived yet.

While wondering if his master had encountered some trouble that delayed him, Chuanwu thought that given how much his master cared about Yue Li, it was impossible for him not to arrive by now. At the same time, he kept walking to keep up with Yue Li, who was walking ahead.

The two walked about 50 meters further when Chuanwu suddenly saw a familiar carriage turn out of an alley.

Just then, the carriage arrived at the entrance of a restaurant next to the alley, and the lanterns in front of the restaurant shone on the sign on the carriage.

"Master." Chuanwu then recognized it as the symbol of Prince Chen's residence.

The Prince Chen's residence currently only has Prince Chen as its master, so it's safe to assume that the person sitting in the carriage right now is Prince Chen.

Upon seeing the sign of Prince Chen's residence, Chuanwu also spotted Huang Zhong sitting on the carriage shaft.

He dared not shout loudly at his master, but when he saw Huang Zhong, he had fewer reservations.

Because they were some distance from the carriage, and there were many pedestrians between them, Chuanwu didn't dare leave Yueli there and run to the carriage. So this time, Chuanwu shouted at the top of his lungs, "Huang Zhong! Huang Zhong! Old Huang!"

Instantly, Chuanwu's voice drew attention from all directions.

Yue Li, who had been walking ahead and whose mind was already somewhat muddled, was also startled awake by Chuan Wu's voice.

Turning around, Yue Li cast her gaze at Chuan Wu, who was shouting loudly, her flushed face full of confusion.

Seeing Yue Li stop and look at him with a puzzled expression, Chuan Wu didn't have time to explain to her at that moment.

He stopped when he heard his own voice because he saw the carriage of Prince Chen's mansion, and Huang Zhong was also coming this way.

Chuanwu was extremely anxious. What was Huang Zhong doing here? Shouldn't it be the master who came at this time?

Helpless, Chuanwu could only approach Yueli, point to the direction of the carriage, glance at the crowd around them that had returned to normal, and whisper, "Master is over there, in that carriage. Let's go find Master over there."
