When it came to detoxification, Li Yue Shu nodded confidently. "Mo Yu Lin's condition is similar to Wei Zi Miao's. The poison is not difficult to detoxify, but the poison has severely depleted his body. Now, the poison itself has become the key to prolonging his life."
Therefore, even though Mo Yu Lin had people investigate the poison in his body, no one dared to directly detoxify it.
However, Li Yue Shu was confident, especially after discussing medical skills with Ji Mo Bai so many times, her confidence grew even stronger.
Seeing this, Hong Dai didn't ask further. After all, she didn't understand medicine, and even if she asked, she might not comprehend it.
"Alright, I'll have Ming Yue Lou continue investigating Mo Yu Lin. If anything comes up, just have Aunt Mo send word to Ming Yue Lou."
As she spoke, Hong Dai patted her body and stood up.
Li Yue Shu looked at her suspiciously, "Judging by your words, where are you going?"
Hong Dai smiled gently, "Since I've come to Qing Yan Kingdom, of course I have to meet the person I need to see."
Li Yue Shu immediately understood who she was going to see and didn't try to stop her. She only cautioned, "Be careful. Come back quickly if anything happens."
That Ji Quan Si didn't seem simple, and she worried Hong Dai might suffer a disadvantage.
Although Hong Dai was not someone who would easily suffer a disadvantage.
Hong Dai smiled and pinched Li Yue Shu's cheek, "Don't worry, I'm fully aware of his situation. If anything happens, I can definitely escape."
Her hand retracted quickly. Before Qin Mo Yuan could even cast a side-eye, she quickly slipped away.
Leaving behind an secretly angry Qin Mo Yuan and a helpless Li Yue Shu.
...
They had agreed to have the results the next day. As soon as it was dawn, He Xiao Yu brought Mo Yu Lin to the inn.
When traveling, Li Yue Shu was always a light sleeper, so she had already heard Qin Mo Yuan blocking people at the door.
She lingered in bed for a while before slowly getting up.
She had arranged for people to keep watch around the inn yesterday, so why did these two still come so early!
After tidying herself up, Li Yue Shu opened the door and walked out, looking at He Xiao Yu with a hint of a grievance.
The latter seemed to ignore her gaze and raised an eyebrow, "I had someone prepare some food. Do you want to come down and have some?"
With breakfast available, Li Yue Shu naturally wouldn't refuse. Her aggrieved gaze retracted.
Compared to yesterday's tension and worry, He Xiao Yu appeared much calmer at the dining table today, as if she was simply there for breakfast and not to inquire about detoxification.
It wasn't until after the meal that they all followed Li Yue Shu back to her room, and He Xiao Yu finally spoke, "How is it? Can you detoxify him?"
Li Yue Shu glanced at Mo Yu Lin, who stood beside them like an outsider, and slowly said, "Detoxification is not difficult, but his body is currently sustained by those poisons. If the poison is removed, he will likely pass away soon."
Her words were very direct, causing He Xiao Yu's brows to furrow instantly.
Xiao Yu had told her this before, but she still held a sliver of hope in her heart.
Seeing her disappointment, Mo Yu Lin instead comforted her, "Sister, it's alright. As I said, I'm already content now."
He Xiao Yu opened her mouth but didn't speak, her expression tinged with bitterness.
Seeing their disappointment, Li Yue Shu quickly said, "Why are you so disappointed? I didn't say I could only detoxify him and not save his life."
Upon hearing this, both of them looked at her in surprise. Even Mo Yu Lin, who had always been so calm, couldn't control his expression.
"You mean, you can not only detoxify Xiao Yu but also save his life?" He Xiao Yu's voice was urgent.
Li Yue Shu didn't keep them in suspense and nodded, "That's right. It will just take more time and medicinal herbs. I..."
"No problem, as long as Xiao Yu can be saved, I will find any medicinal herbs you need!"
Before she could finish, He Xiao Yu hurriedly interrupted her, "When can you start the treatment?"
She had always been unrestrained and flamboyant. Seeing hope for her greatest concern, she naturally lacked self-control.
Meanwhile, Mo Yu Lin remained as calm as if he were not the one facing death.
He even looked up and smiled gently at He Xiao Yu, his face full of dependence and trust, seeing how anxious she was for him.
Li Yue Shu had been calm from beginning to end. However, seeing this face, which was identical to Xiao Yu's, display such an expression, she felt a pang of sadness.
Ever since she met Xiao Yu, she had only shown such worried and anxious expressions for her own matters.
Now, this identical face was concerned about someone else.
Although she didn't want to admit it, Li Yue Shu did feel a tiny bit of sourness in her heart.
She suppressed the corners of her lips and said, "If Young Master Mo is free today, we can start now."
He Xiao Yu naturally preferred it to be sooner rather than later and immediately nodded.
But before she could speak, Mo Yu Lin interjected, "Madam Shen is a doctor and also a businesswoman. Since you're going to treat me, how will the consultation fee be calculated?"
At his mention, He Xiao Yu, who had been somewhat anxious, instantly calmed down. Her gaze towards Li Yue Shu was tinged with a hint of wariness.
Although her reputation outside was that of a haughty and overbearing person, she was not foolish. She had just been too excited by the unexpected good news.
Even her own parents would not sacrifice their own interests to be good to others, let alone these strangers she had only known for two days.
Seeing her wary expression, Li Yue Shu was contemplating how to answer the question when Hong Dai, who was leaning beside her like a boneless willow, couldn't help but laugh. "Look at your vigilance! If I were to ask for your position as Crown Princess as the consultation fee, would you still save him?"
Since their marriage, He Xiao Yu's actions had demonstrated her importance of the Crown Princess position. But now, her attitude towards Mo Yu Lin was clearly more concerned than it was towards Ji Quan Si.
Hong Dai said this simply out of curiosity about how important Mo Yu Lin was in her heart.
The result was unexpected. He Xiao Yu agreed without a second thought, "As long as Xiao Yu can be cured, I can move out of the Eastern Palace tomorrow."
Mo Yu Lin showed no surprise at He Xiao Yu's answer. Instead, his gaze towards her became even more gentle and intimate.
Hong Dai, on the other hand, was quite astonished. "Didn't you say you would risk your life for Ji Quan Si?"
When she had kidnapped He Xiao Yu before, she had threatened her, saying that if she dared to marry Ji Quan Si, she would take her life.
But after returning, this woman didn't even perform the wedding ceremony. She moved directly into the Eastern Palace, proclaiming herself Crown Princess, completely disregarding Hong Dai's threat.
Today, to save Mo Yu Lin, she was willing to go this far?
He Xiao Yu's expression remained unchanged, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly. "Who said I would risk my life for Ji Quan Si?"
Everyone present was intelligent and immediately understood that there seemed to be a hidden meaning in her words.
He Xiao Yu did not explain. Instead, she looked at Li Yue Shu and said, "If you want this Crown Princess position, I can give it up."
Li Yue Shu was speechless and amused. "I have no interest in the position of Crown Princess."
Qin Mo Yuan nodded repeatedly. "Ji Quan Si is not even comparable to a single strand of my hair. My wife wouldn't fancy him!"
As he spoke, he hugged Li Yue Shu possessively.
He Xiao Yu curiously sized him up, then pouted and said to Li Yue Shu, "Your husband doesn't look very good, but he's quite confident."
