“What should we do… What should we do?! The doctor of Night Mountain… Bring all the doctors of Night Mountain here!” As soon as Langyue heard the words “Great King”, she almost fainted. I suddenly felt that the just-about-to-be-solved mystery was once again sealed shut. A strong sense of guilt swirled in Ye Suo’s eyes, but he was not looking at Langyue, instead deeply staring at me, causing a sharp pain in my heart.
“The poison in the Great King is a court poison. I’m not afraid to tell you, we already knew that Suo Mu Lang betrayed the Great King. If it weren’t for the fact that only the court’s antidote can cure the poison, I wouldn’t have risked calling you here!” Chi Yi Shu said coldly, speaking clearly for fear that Langyue would be blinded by love and inadvertently reveal something to the court if she sought help.
“Court antidote? Oh right, my brother works under the Crown Prince. He must have a way. I’ll send a message to my brother right away!” Langyue seemed to suddenly…

Just a few casual words had completely pushed a girl trapped in love to a dead end.

Everything was proceeding according to Ye Suo and Chi Yi Shu’s plan. Hearing that eight years ago, when the previous king had just died, the current emperor had used the pretext of mourning to prepare to take down Night Mountain, and now was repeating the old trick by inviting Shui Ruo Han, the divine doctor under the Crown Prince. Though time had passed, the events of eight years ago were as clear as yesterday.
