The man's iron arm gripped her so tightly that Jiang Luoxue could hardly breathe.
She was afraid that if she didn't speak up, the steamed buns would be flattened.
"General Ye, could you please release me first?"
"I'm having trouble breathing."
Ye Xuanchen then realized that he was still holding the woman tightly in his arms, and his hand was unfortunately placed on her sensitive area.
His face flushed red instantly, and he apologized awkwardly, "Yes, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to."
Jiang Luoxue knew, of course, that he didn't mean it, and stood up to answer with a smile.
"It's alright, thankfully General Ye you arrived in time and saved my life."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand here unharmed and talk to you."
Thank you so much!
Jiang Luoxue thanked him earnestly, as if it was the truth.
"Miss Jiang, you're too kind. As long as you're alright, that's all that matters."
After Ye Xuanchen finished speaking, he turned to look at the horse that had been subdued by Zhu Ying and the scattered carriages on the ground, and said to Yan Mo who had rushed over, "Go and see Miss Jiang's horse, why it suddenly went berserk."
Yanmo walked over to the broken-down carriage, examined it carefully, and then checked the horse that was foaming at the mouth. He then came over with a serious expression to report.
"Reporting to Master, Miss Jiang's horse was given a 'madness powder' made from datura and hallucinogenic mushroom powder, which caused the horse to hallucinate and run wildly."
"This 'Madness Powder' not only has a strong hallucinogenic effect, but it also has a characteristic of dissipating quickly. If I hadn't happened to recognize it and be here, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to find it in the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea."
After listening, Ye Xuanchen frowned and said to Jiang Luoxue, "Miss Jiang, someone is deliberately trying to harm you. Why don't you go to the Dali Temple to report this?"
"I promise I will urge their people to find the person who harmed you as soon as possible, no matter how difficult it may be."
"No need, I roughly know who did this." Jiang Luoxue knew in her heart who wanted to harm her.
Since they did this, they have naturally erased all traces.
Furthermore, with the effects of the "Madness Powder" fading, even if the Dali Temple came, they probably wouldn't be able to find out the cause.
Relying on others doesn't guarantee a successful case.
It would be better if she took revenge herself.
Seeing her confident demeanor, Ye Xuanchen didn't say anything more.
He simply nodded and said, "If you need my help, just let me know."
"Thank you, General Ye, I will." Jiang Luoxue thanked him politely.
Ye Xuanchen glanced at the unusable carriage and said to her, "Miss Jiang, your carriage is probably unusable. Why don't I take you back?"
Jiang Luoxue didn't stand on ceremony and said generously, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble General Ye."
"etc!"
Just as the two were about to board the carriage, Baili Miao came running up, panting, and looked his friend up and down.
He asked him about his health again and only felt relieved after confirming that he was alright.
Then he began to frown and start criticizing.
"Huaijin, I know you're eager to save lives, but you should also take care of your own health first!"
"We've only just managed to get the poison in your body under control. If you start circulating your internal energy like this now, and your meridians suddenly swell up, wouldn't all your previous efforts be wasted!"
Baili Miao was genuinely angry, upset that his friend didn't take care of his health.
"I'm sorry, Baili, I made you worry." Ye Xuanchen apologized to his friend. At the time, he was only thinking about preventing Jiang Luoxue from getting into trouble, and completely forgot about the fact that he was poisoned by the alluring poison.
Baili Miao was still angry, and said angrily, "You don't need to apologize to me. You don't even cherish your own body, so what do I have to worry about?"
Although he said that, his hand honestly placed his hand on Ye Xuanchen's pulse.
He was relieved to find that he was only experiencing some blood stasis and was otherwise fine.
"Fortunately, it's just a bit of blood and qi turmoil. At this time, don't be stingy anymore. Quickly take out your precious 'Jade Marrow Dew' and drink some to calm it down."
When the topic turned to "Jade Marrow Dew," Baili Miao started rambling on again.
"I really don't know what you're thinking. You have a miracle doctor, so why don't you go and beg him to give you more 'Jade Marrow Dew'? You're so stingy and reluctant to drink it."
"Or buy it, if you had bought more from the miracle doctor, the poison might have been completely cured long ago."
"Jade Dew?"
Jiang Luoxue first felt that this sounded familiar, and then she realized what it meant.
Isn't this the name she tricked Ye Xuanchen into giving the spiritual spring water a few days ago?
Baili Miao was engrossed in his rambling when he noticed that Jiang Luoxue seemed to know about "Jade Marrow Dew," so he casually asked her about it.
"Young lady, you also know about 'Jade Marrow Dew'? Do you perhaps know a divine physician as well?"
Jiang Luoxue glanced at Ye Xuanchen, who looked helpless as his friend nagged him. She never expected that this man would come up with the title of a miracle doctor for her.
However, she immediately realized that Ye Xuanchen was doing this for her own good.
Sometimes, possessing a treasure can be a crime; if others find out that you have a "miracle cure" for rare poisons...
I'm afraid it will cause her unnecessary trouble.
It must be said that this man is not only good-looking, but also quite thoughtful.
Having figured it out, she didn't expose him, and replied to Baili Miao with a smile: "I do know him, but we're not particularly close."
"If you're not particularly familiar with each other, then you're already familiar with each other."
Baili Miao immediately turned to her enthusiastically: "Young lady, considering that Huaijin risked his life to save you today, could you please ask the divine physician to give him more 'Jade Marrow Dew'?"
Then he started complaining about his friend:
"Girl, you don't know, but the bamboo tube of 'Jade Marrow Dew' that the divine doctor gave us a few days ago, Huai Jin, this stingy guy, only drinks two small sips a day."
You're saying this isn't a magic pill, how could it have an effect in just two sips, right?
"If we could get more from the miracle doctor, he could drink at least one bowl every day, and that would make it more effective!"
After listening to his complaints, Jiang Luoxue turned to Ye Xuanchen and asked, "General Ye, didn't the 'divine doctor' say that this medicine should be taken twice a day, morning and evening?"
Why didn't you listen to the doctor's orders?
Ye Xuanchen smiled and explained, "Miss Jiang, don't listen to Baili's nonsense. Actually, taking two sips a day is very effective. There's really no need to use so much." As he spoke, he glared at his talkative friend.
This "Jade Marrow Dew" is exceptionally precious; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that a single drop is worth a fortune.
How could he possibly ask Miss Jiang for it again and again?
He had figured it out in the past few days. When Miss Jiang said the medicine had expired, it was just an excuse. She said that because she was worried he wouldn't accept it.
Since she wouldn't accept payment, he naturally felt embarrassed to take advantage of her, so he had no choice but to reduce the amount he used.
Moreover, he genuinely felt that even just a couple of sips a day made him feel much better than before.
Jiang Luoxue was incredibly clever, and she immediately guessed that it was because she had mentioned before that the spiritual spring water was very precious and rare, so Ye Xuanchen was embarrassed to ask her for it again.
Now that she knows the spiritual spring water can really cure Ye Xuanchen's poison, she happens to have more of it in her spatial storage than she can use.
Back at the manor, she simply found a sealed earthenware jar, filled it with spiritual spring water, and had Zhu Ying deliver it to Ye Xuanchen..
