Chapter 351 Leave them all
She stared intently at Xie Yanli and said, word by word, "Just wait and see Qin Jiuwei die!"
"She must pay with her life for my Le'an!"
Xie Yanli's face turned extremely cold the moment Li Shi burst into wild laughter.
He strode toward the Li family.
He then bent down and suddenly grabbed her hand.
The force was so great that Li couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
The next moment, he suddenly tightened his grip.
With a crisp cracking sound, Li's scream immediately echoed throughout the dungeon.
Her face turned ashen instantly, and cold sweat poured down her forehead.
Xie Yanli broke off one of Li's fingers.
"You...you actually..."
She spoke in a trembling voice, but the pain made her words broken and incomplete.
Xie Yanli's face was as cold and hard as iron, and his eyes showed no emotion.
"If you don't tell me, I'll break your fingers one by one."
"Oh, and your husband too."
As he spoke, Xie Yanli turned to look at Qin's father, who was trembling beside him.
The attendant stepped forward as ordered and coldly grasped Qin's father's fingers.
With a cracking sound, Qin's father's scream echoed throughout the dungeon.
He knelt down, clutching his hands, his face contorted in horror and despair.
"I'll ask you one more time, where is the antidote?"
Xie Yanli stared coldly at the two of them.
Li and Qin's father lay on the ground, their clothes soaked with blood.
They stubbornly refuse to admit it.
"No, there is no antidote..."
"Keep fighting."
Xie Yanli stood to the side, his tone icy cold.
The guards stepped forward again, their iron whips clashing and striking heavily against them.
The sounds of torture and screams of agony echoed through the dungeon.
Qinglan Courtyard, the main courtyard.
The candlelight was dim, and only the sound of dripping water could be heard.
Xie Jue carefully soaked the soft handkerchief in warm water, and only after confirming that the handkerchief was moist but not dripping did she slowly place it on Qin Jiuwei's forehead.
Use your little finger to hook the edge of the handkerchief and try to prevent it from slipping off.
He wiped her gently, one stroke at a time, as if afraid of hurting Qin Jiuwei.
His young face was filled with focus.
After wiping his face, he carefully wiped away the medicine stains from the corners of Qin Jiuwei's mouth.
After finishing everything, Xie Jue rested his head on his hand and stared at Qin Jiuwei without moving.
His eyes were filled with sadness and hope.
Mother, please wake up soon...
I promise I'll behave from now on...
Royal study room.
"Your Majesty, there's news about the Crown Prince's wife!" Eunuch Li said urgently.
"Say it!"
Eunuch Li stepped forward, bowed, and answered.
"The Crown Prince's wife was poisoned by snake venom. The snake in question is the Black-Scaled Nether Serpent, which is extremely rare in the Southern Territory and its venom is very difficult to cure."
"This afternoon, the young master has identified the poisoner as Qin's parents. He has apprehended them and taken them to the dungeon for interrogation."
Snake venom...
It's still snake venom from the southern border.
Gao Xian frowned, his expression instantly turning cold.
My heart couldn't help but grow even more worried.
"Your Majesty," Eunuch Li, standing to the side, immediately offered words of comfort upon seeing the situation.
"The Crown Prince's wife is blessed with good fortune, and with the imperial physicians doing their best to treat her, she will definitely be fine."
"Besides, the person who poisoned us has been caught, and with the young master personally overseeing things, the antidote will surely be found soon."
Yes, with Yanli around, what else could he possibly worry about?
He knew his competence all too well.
In just one night, the person who poisoned the victim was caught.
Gao Xian's gaze involuntarily froze as he recalled some events from long ago.
He and Xie Yanli were students together back then.
Their Master Zigu praised him as a "benevolent and virtuous ruler".
They don't talk about talent or ability.
But Xie Yanli always earned Mr. Gu's endless praise.
He was only described as "benevolent and kind".
Whenever I think about it, I can't help but feel a touch of self-mockery and loss.
Gao Xian knew the answer.
He is a monarch, good at recognizing and employing people.
But sometimes, he still can't help but think about it.
Xie Yanli's talent is indeed far superior to my own.
However, after a moment's thought, Gao Xian quickly came to his senses.
Remembering the snake venom that Qin Jiuwei had been poisoned by, he immediately became tense and gave orders.
"Issue an imperial decree: send all the antidotes from my private treasury to the Marquis's residence. Go now!"
Eunuch Li obeyed and left without daring to delay for even a moment.
The Marquis's Residence, Qinglan Courtyard.
Xie Jing stood in the courtyard, his gaze falling on the piles of precious medicinal herbs and porcelain bottles.
Each medicinal herb is extremely rare, and the elixir in the porcelain bottle is priceless.
But now all these things are piled up here like they're free.
Even the composed Xie Jing was secretly surprised.
I was surprised, but also full of questions.
Why would the Emperor send so many medicinal herbs for no reason?
To save his mother? But his mother and the emperor didn't seem to have any connection.
Could it be because of his father?
Xie Jing thought about it for a moment and felt that it was possible.
But I still felt something was off.
But now, saving my mother is the most important thing.
Xie Jing turned to Lin An beside him and asked, "Can these medicinal herbs and pills cure the poison in Mother's body?"
Lin An examined it carefully and then shook his head.
"None of these are acceptable."
Xie Jing remained silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the precious medicinal herbs, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Although they are unusable, these medicinal herbs are so precious...
Of course, we kept them all!
Xie Jing waved his hand and ordered, "Store them all in the warehouse!"
