Chapter 252: Poisoning
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Miss, Boss has been poisoned!”
“What? Poisoned?”
The doctor announced the condition as soon as he came out. Shen Xiaoxiao frowned. How could he have been poisoned?
“What poison? What kind of poison is he poisoned with?”
The doctor’s brows were tightly knitted together. After a while, he said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “It’s the same poison as Madam.”
This was not good news. Almost everyone in the Dark Empire knew that Madam had been in a coma for nearly 20 years. This was not a good thing. It could be said that this was a disaster for the entire Dark Empire.
“Suoyin Flower Tears?”
.
Shen Xiaoxiao was greatly shocked. Looking at the doctors, nurses, and some secret guards present, she quickly made the most direct response and said to everyone, “No one is allowed to spread this matter. Those who violate the order will be punished according to the rules.”
“Dark 2, inform the Four Hall Masters to return to the country urgently. Anyone who has seen Yan Kuan today will be severely interrogated. No one is allowed to spread a word no matter what.”
No matter what happened to Yan Kuan, the most important thing was to stabilize these people. The Dark Empire must not fall into chaos.
Shen Xiaoxiao’s quick reaction stunned everyone in the hall for a long time. She was so calm and agile. As expected of the mistress that Boss had personally chosen.
Even if there were women who came to look for Boss these days, they also thought that it was normal for men to occasionally flirt with women, let alone a person like Boss.
Now, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly stood up after Boss’s accident. This was not something an ordinary woman could do.
“Yes, your subordinate understands.”
19 and Dark 2 were the first to express their stance. The others immediately followed suit and watched as the people were arranged to leave one after another. Only then did Shen Xiaoxiao bring 19 and the doctor into the ward.
Yan Kuan lay there motionlessly. Shen Xiaoxiao felt her heart go numb as she looked at him.
“When will he wake up?”
“Old Yao is coming over right now. With his golden needle technique, he should wake up very soon. However, Miss, as the duration of the poisoning increases, the duration of Boss’ coma will also become longer and longer until he completely passes out and becomes a living dead person.”
Miss’ calmness made 19 look at her in a whole new light. After such a big incident, Miss was still able to calmly give orders. 19 was really impressed with Miss.
“Nineteen, when Yan Kuan visited the Ouyang family in the night, he obtained a bottle of Suoyin Flower Tears. He asked Dark 1 to send it back. Where is the poison?”
“What? Girl, you said you have the Suoyin Flower Tears in your hands? where is it? Quickly show it to this old man. If you have this poison, it will be much easier to concoct an antidote.”
The old man that Shen Xiaoxiao had met at the base just happened to hear Shen Xiaoxiao’s words. Before he had the time to look at Yan Kuan, he was attracted by Shen Xiaoxiao’s words.
Shen Xiaoxiao also knew that these doctors were a little jumpy, so she turned her head and greeted Old Man Yao, “Old Man Yao, we have indeed obtained this medicine, but Yan Kuan has already asked Dark 1 to send it back. Could it be that you haven’t seen the medicine? 19, you haven’t seen it either?”
19 was stunned. No, he hadn’t seen the medicine. “Miss, Dark 1 did send something back that day, but it’s not medicine. It’s just a map. Miss, could you have made a mistake?”
“What? Just a map? That’s impossible. Yan Kuan told me personally. He asked Dark 1 to send it back. Old Man Yao, you have to wake Yan Kuan up first. As for the other matters, you can ask him and he will naturally know.”
Old Man Yao did not delay. He checked Yan Kuan’s pulse carefully. After confirming that it was Suoyin Flower Tears, he slowly took out the golden needles from the medical box.
Eighty-one golden needles were inserted all over his body. After more than an hour, he slowly woke up.
“Boss, you’re awake?”
19 rushed forward anxiously. After Yan Kuan woke up, the first thing he saw was the old man who was withdrawing the needles. Then, he turned his head and saw 19. Only then did his expression relax a little.
Shen Xiaoxiao saw all of this. She clenched her fingers tightly but did not say a word. Even when she saw that he had woken up, she did not rush forward. Instead, she looked at Old Man Yao and said, “Old Man Yao, how long will the interval be?”
Old Man Yao finished packing up the medicine box. He turned around and saw that Yan Kuan was fine. Only then did he say, “In the beginning, it will be once every three days. Then, it will be ten days, January, a year, and finally, it will be ten years. It will be forever.”
Old Man Yao’s words were very clear. He had studied this Suoyin Flower Tears for decades and was extremely clear about its medicinal properties. Therefore, when Shen Xiaoxiao asked, he naturally knew everything.
“Yan Kuan, where did you ask Dark 1 to send the Suoyin Flower Tears to?”
Yan Kuan was stunned. He turned to look at Shen Xiaoxiao and after a long while, he said, “The base.”
“Boss, Dark 1 has never been to the base. Moreover, I saw with my own eyes that he only brought back a map. After he informed me, we rushed over to meet up with you guys.”
19 was also anxious. How could Dark 1 not bring back the medicine? What had gone wrong?
“I’m worried that Dark 1 left it somewhere along the way. After all, the situation was urgent at that time.”
Dark 2 also opened his mouth to defend Dark 1. Shen Xiaoxiao glanced at the expressions of everyone present, especially Yan Kuan. He had not opened his mouth to defend Dark 1 at all.
In the end, he said, “Dark 1 has already disappeared. Only Dark 1 knows about this matter. As for this poison of mine, Old Man Yao, you should do your best.”
Yan Kuan’s words were very helpless. Shen Xiaoxiao looked at his somewhat dejected expression. Could it be that the changes over the past few days were because he had long known that he had been poisoned by the Suoyin Flower Tears? Or was it not what she had guessed?
“You knew that you were poisoned? When did you know?”
Sure enough, Yan Kuan was shocked by Shen Xiaoxiao’s words. He turned to look at her and said, “When I was in the Ouyang family. So, Xiaoxiao, don’t be too willful. I… Sigh… All of you can leave. I have something to say to Xiaoxiao.”
Everyone glanced at the two of them and very consciously slowly retreated. Shen Xiaoxiao pulled over a stool at the side and sat down. She pressed on the corner of his back as if nothing had happened.
His hand was stretched out. His fingers were bare, but there was still no sign of the Obsidian Star. What was going on with Yan Kuan?
“You must have a lot of questions to ask me, right? Hehe, I already knew that I was affected by the Suoyin Flower Tears.
Getting close to Ouyang Le was not because Ouyang Le saved me, but because I wanted to get the antidote to the Suoyin Flower Tears from her hands.”
“I was cold to you because, sigh, Xiaoxiao, sometimes you are too willful.”
“I didn’t save those brothers because now is really not the time to save them. I have personally witnessed the methods of the Ouyang family. They have been passed down for thousands of years, and some of their dirty tricks are not even counted. Not to mention those 50 brothers who would have a hard time surviving, even if they survived… In the end, there is a high possibility that they will be turned into death warriors.”
“What? Turned into death warriors?”
This was simply shocking. How was this possible?
“The family that was passed down from the famous Jin Yi Wei of the Great Ming Dynasty. These methods, these torturing methods, cannot be described with ordinary thinking.”
“Xiaoxiao, so, can you understand me?”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the friendship that reappeared in Yan Kuan’s eyes, and her heart palpitated in fear. However, when she moved a little, the two of them just stared straight at each other. After a long while, Shen Xiaoxiao turned her head and said faintly, “Rest well. We’ll talk about other things later!”
