When Nan Jue and Zhen Lin noticed this, they nervously surrounded him.

The veins on the sides of Tuoba Yu's temples bulged, and he felt a fiery hot stream of air rush towards him. The area instantly expanded, making him feel as if something bad was about to happen.

As the fragrance of the wine entered her nose, her pupils abruptly constricted as she said in a deep voice, "Hold your breath!"

Tuoba Rui and the others were stunned for a moment. They also vaguely smelled a strange fragrance. Seeing this, Tan hurriedly obeyed and held his breath.

"Nan Jue, bring the wine jug from the table!" Beads of sweat dripped down from Tuoba's forehead as he loosened his grip on Tuoba Rui's arm and pulled his hand into the pure white sleeve.

They were all smart and astute people. When Nan Jue heard his words, he knew that something was definitely wrong with the wine.

The jade-like face turned solemn. She covered her nose with her sleeve and took the jug of wine and walked up to him.

The lid of the wine jug had already been lifted, and streams of clear water flowed out from the jug's top. However, the clear water dispersed extremely quickly, and almost immediately began to fade away.

Tuoba Yu's flushed face had already become somewhat distorted. His lower abdomen felt as if it was on fire, and his pair of clear eyes turned fiendishly red. He seemed to be enduring it extremely patiently.

Looking at the clear stream rising from the top of the pot, he slowly spat out two words, "Devouring Huanhuan!"

Devouring Joyous Flower?!

Her slender body shook, and a trace of fear appeared on her face.

Although there was only a one word difference between eating and loving, the medicinal properties of the two were vastly different.

The Oleander was a secret medicine of the previous dynasty's palace. It was concocted by the previous dynasty's King, Helian Yi Tie.

It was rumored that he had fallen in love with one of the concubines of the previous emperor. In order to help her gain the emperor's favor, he had devoted himself to developing this medicine as a doctor.

That woman, with his help, succeeded in obtaining the emperor's love. The previous emperor ate the gluttonous food he made and stayed in bed for seven consecutive days. He almost lost everyone and almost caused the death of the person he loved.

Helian Yi Tie did not want the Swallowing Swallow to have such a strong medicinal property, so he repented and burned the recipe for the Swallowing Swallow. But there were too many people in the palace, so he unconsciously spilled out.

In the end, paper could not contain the fire. When the Emperor found out the truth, he flew into a rage and immediately sent the woman into the cold palace.

Helian Yi Tie was the brother of the emperor, so he only stripped him of his title of prince and demoted him to a civilian.

Later on, he heard that the woman had been blessed by the Emperor for seven nights and had already given birth to a baby girl after October.

However, the conditions of the cold palace were quite poor. After the woman gave birth to her baby girl, she went west.

After Helian Yi Tie found out about this, the resentment in his heart rose abruptly. He wholeheartedly wanted to take revenge for his beloved, so he added another medicine to his devouring joy …

If one did not detoxify the poison in time, the only thing that would be left to die would be from the explosion of a blood vessel. This was because normally, before the antidote could be created, those who had been poisoned would not be able to survive and would end up dying violently. Therefore, no one had been able to produce the antidote for the joy so far.

At that time, the previous emperor had died suddenly due to an act of devouring.

Therefore, the matter became the talk of the people and was passed down to the public.

When Emperor Xian had just ascended the throne, he had learned the lesson of the previous dynasty. It was a clear rule that the Yao Family was not allowed to create the Swallowing Swallow. Otherwise, they would be killed without question.

Yet, unexpectedly, the Devouring Joyous that had disappeared for several decades appeared once again. This Emperor had even fallen victim to this Devouring Joyous …

Now, even if Lou Lan was present, even if he had the ability to produce the antidote as fast as possible, it would still be too late.

After walking out of the room, An Liang, who had been concealed in a corner, lowered his eyes and smiled. Previously, if she hadn't seen his handsome appearance, she would have had some thoughts towards him.

It wasn't that she had never been without a man before, but it was still the first time that she had fallen in love with a man she had met at the beginning.

That was why she was willing to put that easy to get Devour into the wine. Once she could get the Blue Demon back, it would be good to have a few nights of fun with him.

What she did not expect was that the boss would suddenly appear, and from the looks of it, their relationship was quite deep.

And just now, she seemed to have heard of the empress dowager … He was certain that the man inside was either rich or noble!

Furthermore, apart from him, she had never seen anyone in this world who dared to challenge her boss. This was because under normal circumstances, if they didn't die, they would be severely injured!

Now, because of the matter with Lan Mei, she had caused the boss to be imprisoned. When he came out, she didn't dare imagine what would happen to her.

Therefore, now that there was such a huge opportunity right in front of her eyes, she had to seize it!

As long as she cured his poison, she would do everything in her power to serve him. She wasn't afraid that she wouldn't be able to take him down.

At that time, perhaps he would let her be a concubine and believe that if she was by his side and under his protection, the boss wouldn't be able to do anything to her …

Although she could not guarantee her success, she had no other choice but to take a gamble …

While she was thinking, a white shadow suddenly appeared at the door.

An Liang was so happy that her chest was heaving up and down. After taking a deep breath, she mustered up her courage and ran up. She grabbed his waist from behind and pressed her soft body close to his broad back.

He could clearly feel the person in front of him shudder. Then he suddenly turned around and fiercely hugged her waist. He then violently crashed into a door beside him with her in his embrace.

Hou Mansion.

Uncle Tie sat on the stone bench under the locust tree in his courtyard. Under the moonlight, he silently fiddled with the various herbs in the dustpan on the stone table, his expression solemn and cold.

The sound of footsteps in his ears made him pause for a moment as he fiddled with the herbs, then he continued.

The footsteps stopped just behind him, silent.

If it wasn't for the addition of a breath of air in the air, perhaps he really thought he was the only person in this huge courtyard.

Uncle Tie stopped what he was doing and spoke sarcastically, "Master Hou, when are you free to come to my courtyard? Isn't there a need to accompany the newlyweds who are about to enter the door?! "

Qi Mujing glanced at him indifferently, lifted up his clothes and sat down opposite him. He stared at the herbs on the table and said, "You're blaming me?!"

"I don't dare!" Uncle Tie snorted, "Master Hou's work is not something that we can criticize."

Qi Mujing smiled bitterly, "Uncle Tie, you have to trust me soon!"

Not long later?!

Uncle Tie frowned and opened his mouth, only letting out a trace of a sigh.

How many people can withstand the ravages of time? Do you think that not long will pass? Perhaps one would only need to turn around and it would be even harder than before. How can you be certain of that?!

Lifting his head, his gaze landed on the person opposite him. He was still dressed in the white color that he loved. His handsome and indomitable face was covered by the silver moonlight, but one could vaguely see the black stubble on his thin lower jaw.

Uncle Tie couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. He got up and walked inside the house.

Qi Mujing's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she just watched him walk into the room without saying anything.

His heart felt slightly uneasy as the incoming cold wind blew away the strands of hair on his chest, causing his handsome face to be revealed under the moonlight.

His face was still handsome and charming, but his pair of pitch-black eyes were somewhat sunken. Under his eyes, there was a rich greenish black colour.

The robe that was originally tightly pressed against his body now looked somewhat large. Under the night breeze, it bulged out a big bump on his back.

He raised his head to look at the sparse stars in the sky, and his eyes gradually revealed traces of pain. He suddenly clutched his chest and lightly coughed. A hint of red flowed down from the corner of his mouth.

However, he didn't care in the slightest. He allowed the blood to flow from the corner of his lips and drip onto his white robe, creating many beautiful red flowers.

When Uncle Tie came out with a small brown red bottle, his face darkened. He quickly walked forward, opened the bottle and took out two pills, handing them to him. With a frown, he said, "Hurry and eat them!"

Qi Mujing looked down at the two gray pills lying quietly in his hands. After a while, he reached over and took them.

Uncle Tie was a bit angry, but he also knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless. He would definitely not tell him his intentions, so he just put the bottle on the stone table, picked up the dustpan on the table, and turned around to leave.

Before he could even take a step forward, he heard a faint voice come from behind him.

"I've met her today …"

It was quiet, calm, and tranquil. He used a very ordinary tone to say it, but it made Uncle Tie instantly feel as if a heavy stone was pressing down on his heart. It was very stuffy!

Closing his eyes, Uncle Tie once again walked inside the house.

The door slammed shut.

Qi Mujing's lips curved into a smile. He would never forget the smell of her body, no matter how long he lived …

Her eyes that were as deep as an ancient well suddenly flowed with resolution. One day, she would definitely return to his side, and at that time, he would treat her even better.

A cold chill appeared in her eyes. He would not let off a single person who made her feel terrible during this period of time!
