Chapter 418: Unexpectedly, the situation turns urgent (2/2)

Unexpectedly, a dark shadow streaked in from outside as soon as she prepared to go upstairs.

An assassin?

“Someone, come!” Han Yunxi cried out, but none of the hidden guards made a move to come in. Even Zhao mama and Su Xiaoyu froze in their tracks upon rushing into the room. That was because…

…the black-robed man was none other than the master of the estate, Long Feiye. He grabbed Han Yunxi by the waist and took her away, extremely anxious. A burst of his lightness technique sent them out of the Duke of Qin’s estate in an instant. Han Yunxi few her forehead break out in sweat as she recognized Long Feiye.

“What are you doing?”

“Baili Mingxiang’s in trouble!” Long Feiye was much more worried than Han Yunxi had ever seen. If she hadn’t known about the Beauty’s Blood, she would be feeling jealous right about now.

“What happened? She was fine when I went to see her yesterday!” Han Yunxi grew anxious as well.

“Her seven orifices suddenly started pouring blood and she lost consciousness. The poison doctor at the estate said the poison flared up prematurely,” Long Feiye said as he increased his speed for the Baili estate.

If anything happened to Baili Mingxiang, then more than a decade’s worth of worth would go up in smoke. It’d be even harder to find another person with the same constitution as her. How could he be anything but frantic? By the time Long Feiye brought Han Yunxi to General Baili’s estate, Baili Mingxiang’s pulse was already extremely weak and her life was in danger.

Besides General Baili, her bedroom was filled with nothing but poison doctors, all of them panicking. But rather than concern over the woman’s life, they were more worried about her Beauty’s Blood. Baili Mingxiang lay on the bed with her eyes squeezed shut, her face deathly pale. Nobody was even wiping the blood flowing from her orifices. Seeing this, Han Yunxi’s heart clenched. She felt awful, but she quickly assumed a professional air and got down to business.

“All of you, get out!” she said simply.

“Esteemed wangfei, Miss Mingxiang’s…” the poison doctors didn’t leave, but approached her to explain the situation. Whatever the case, they could at least offer some help.

But Han Yunxi simply ordered, “Get out!”

Even a military man like General Baili was awed into silence by Han Yunxi’s icy air. When this woman gets serious, she’s just as intimidating as His Highness Duke of Qin. All of the poison doctors scattered, leaving Long Feiye and General Baili behind.

“For now, you two should leave, too.” Han Yunxi said as she took out a handkerchief to wipe Baili Mingxiang’s face. She looked calm and unhurried, but her detox system had long started scanning and analyzing the situation. She wasn’t being coldblooded—it was just that emergency situations demanded a cool head and no mistakes. General Baili was now familiar with Han Yunxi’s expertise in poisons, but figured that His Highness Duke of Qin would still stay behind. If that was the case, he could stay with him and broaden his horizons with her craft.

But Long Feiye simply turned to leave without another word, leaving General Baili with no choice but to follow him out and shut the door. Han Yunxi couldn’t fathom why General Baili was so heartless. After all, the person lying on this bed was his very own daughter!

Was the powerful Mermaid Clan loyal to Long Feiye unto death? Just what kind of cause did the Tang Clan give them to show such fidelity?

Naturally, she wouldn’t puzzle over that now. First she had to concentrate all her efforts on the detox system to analyze and understand the situation. While she kept her attention on Baili Mingxiang’s pulse, the system worked in the background until Han Yunxi came to an unbelievable conclusion.

The Beauty’s Blood is finished, so all the poisons are acting up!

Han Yunxi couldn’t believe it! She’d already planned out Baili Mingxiang’s schedule for taking poisons down to the letter, but the woman herself had decided to speed things up! The poison that originally needed ten or more days to finish had been thoroughly ingested ahead of time!

And her body could still take it, even under that dosage!

Han Yunxi was both shocked and amazed, but that didn’t affect her work. She took out the quasi-Beauty’s Blood she’d made and compared it with the one before her now. As it turned out, the results revealed…
