"Why?" Yan Geng asked, puzzled.
"Because the information I got is that he's the only one who's nice to Mo Xuanye," Feng Yuqin said, then took out a pill that could counter all poisons and stuffed it into Mo Xuanling's mouth.
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Since they were all from prominent families, including Nightingale.
So they knew exactly what Feng Yuqin's words implied.
They never thought that Mo Xuanye, the Fourth Prince of Dongyuan Kingdom who seemed so glorious, would be in such a situation.
Among all the people in the royal family, the only one who was kind to him was Mo Xuanling, the poisoned man in front of them.
Mo Xuanling woke up soon after taking the pill.
However, he was a man with a strong sense of self - protection. So even when he was unconscious before, all his senses were still there.
This included what Feng Yuqin had said.
So the first thing Mo Xuanling said when he woke up was, "Do you know my fourth brother?"
"I'm Feng Yuqin," Feng Yuqin introduced herself.
"Feng Yuqin? The Feng Yuqin from Xisong Kingdom who's engaged in a political marriage with my fourth brother?" There was a flash of surprise in Mo Xuanling's eyes.
"It's me," Feng Yuqin said. "What's going on with your poison?"
Hearing this, a hint of gloom flashed across Mo Xuanling's eyes. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something. "Do you still have the pill you gave me just now?"
"Is there someone else poisoned?" Feng Yuqin asked.
Mo Xuanling didn't expect Feng Yuqin to be so smart. Just from his one question, she could guess that there were other poisoned people.
Previously, he had heard some rumors about Feng Yuqin, saying that she was a good - for - nothing.
But now it seemed that the rumors were unreliable.
"Linglong and some people from your Xisong Kingdom got some opportunities in a grotto. Among them was a toxin. I was poisoned by their toxin. There are also some nice people from Nanchu Kingdom. When I encountered a monster before, they helped me. So I was thinking that if you still have the pills, I could buy them from you to save them," Mo Xuanling said sincerely.
If you listened carefully, you could even hear a hint of anxiety in his tone.
"I do have the pills, but they can only suppress the poison, not completely cure it," Feng Yuqin said.
"It doesn't matter. As long as it can control the poison for a while, it's good," Mo Xuanling looked at Feng Yuqin and asked. "Do you want silver or other things in exchange? As long as I have them, I can exchange them with you."
Feng Yuqin glanced at him indifferently. "It's really rare to have a prince as kind - hearted as you in the royal family."
Mo Xuanling naturally understood what she meant.
Thinking of the people in the royal family, and that one of the people who poisoned him this time was his half - sister, a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.
"Where are they? Just take me there. I'd like to see how powerful Mo Linglong and Feng Yao are," Feng Yuqin said. She didn't expect that her cousin and the others would have opportunities, and so would Feng Yao and the others.
It's just that the opportunity Feng Yao and the others got was such a powerful toxin.
"You want to go?" Mo Xuanling looked at Feng Yuqin in surprise, then said, "No, Linglong and the others have poison in their hands. Just give me the pills. I'll go there myself."
"If I don't go, even if you have the pills, you might get into trouble before you find them," Feng Yuqin said.
"Is the toxin that powerful?" Meng Xingyu was also surprised.
Feng Yuqin nodded. "Before we go, I need to take some of your blood to study the antidote."
Normally, she wouldn't care about such things.
But the person in front of her was Mo Xuanling, and if she didn't care, Mo Xuanling would still go to find those people from Nanchu Kingdom.
So she was forced to get involved.
"Are you an alchemist?" Mo Xuanling asked.
"Yes," Feng Yuqin didn't deny it.
Mo Xuanling felt that Feng Yuqin had given him too many surprises.
He had always heard that she was a good - for - nothing, but how could someone who could enter the trial ground be a good - for - nothing?
Now he even learned that she was an alchemist.
Seeing that Mo Xuanling didn't say anything, Feng Yuqin said, "If you keep delaying, those people might fall victim to Feng Yao and the others. After all, these people are not good people."
Seeing that Feng Yuqin was so insistent, Mo Xuanling had no choice but to follow her. First, he let her take some of his blood, and then he led them in the direction he knew.
Along the way, Mo Xuanling also learned that Feng Yuqin's alchemy skills were very strong.
But as for what level of alchemist she was, Feng Yuqin didn't plan to say.
Although Mo Xuanling was very kind to Mo Xuanye, without in - depth understanding, she wouldn't choose to trust him completely.
Feng Yuqin's defensive mindset made Mo Xuanling think more highly of her.
He even found that her personality was quite similar to his fourth brother's when he got in touch with her.
...
In another place, a valley.
Mo Linglong was constantly experimenting on several people from Nanchu Kingdom.
Because she wanted to see which kind of poison would satisfy her.
"Mo Linglong, you're provoking a war between the two countries," a black - clothed man shouted angrily.
Mo Linglong sneered. "Zuo Wenhao, are you joking? You're just a young master of the Zuo family, not a prince of the royal family. What right do you have to provoke a war between the two countries?"
"Wenhao may not, but what about me? Although I'm not a princess, I'm a county princess," Kang Qingling asked coldly.
Mo Linglong scoffed. "A daughter of the least - favored princess. What weight does such a county princess have to provoke a war between the two countries?"
"Mo Linglong, don't go too far," Zuo Wenhao said. "Let Princess Qingling and my younger brother go. I'll let you do whatever you want with me."
"Brother, I don't agree," Zuo Wenyan said anxiously.
"I don't agree either," Kang Qingling said. "We came out together. She's already killed Ruirui and Mo Qi. I won't let her kill you too."
The five of them came together, and now only three of them were left. They would die together if they had to.
Seeing that Kang Qingling was determined to die, Zuo Wenhao was extremely anxious. He could only look at his younger brother and say, "Wenyan, the princess is of noble birth. If something happens to her, our Zuo family won't be able to account to the princess. So you must take the princess away."
Mo Linglong sneered. "Do you think things are too good? Did I say I would let two of you leave?"
Zuo Wenhao looked at Mo Linglong and said, "Princess Linglong, they're still young and don't understand things. If you have any grudges, come at me. I'm willing to bear all the consequences."
"You're really thinking too much. You can't bear the consequences either," Mo Linglong laughed. "Sorry, I seem to have forgotten to tell you that what I said before about having the antidote was false. I don't have the antidote at all. So even if they two leave, they won't be able to leave this trial ground alive. After all, I'm not that stupid to let them go out and spread the news to ruin my reputation."
