“Huh?” Helan Yanting looked at Feng Yunshu. “I wonder what method my lady has come up with?”
Feng Yunshu suddenly clapped her hands and sat up from the bed. “As long as we find those people, is it possible to find the antidote to the Gu poison in Your Highness?”
Helan Yanting was stunned for a moment. Seeing the hopeful look in Feng Yunshu's eyes, he still nodded. “We can put it that way.”
“If my spiritual power can be fully restored, I can use it to help Your Highness find those people!”
Helan Yanting's eyes narrowed slightly. “Is this method really feasible?”
“The tracking technique is not a very difficult one. It just consumes a great deal of spiritual power.”
“There's no hurry for now. It's good as long as the Gu poison in my lady's body is removed. The Gu poison in my body has been there for many years. It won't cause any serious problems for the time being. Let's wait until my lady recovers.”
Just as Feng Yunshu was about to say something else, at this moment, Yan Liu rushed over with a solemn look on his face and reported, “Your Highness, something's wrong!”
Helan Yanting frowned and walked to the outer room. “What is it?”
“Yan Qi and Miss Ziyuan may be in trouble...”
Feng Yunshu in the inner room had always had good hearing. The moment she heard what Yan Liu said, her heart suddenly sank. She immediately threw off the quilt and got up, then walked out. “Yan Liu, what did you just say? What happened to Ziyuan and Yan Qi?”
At this moment, Feng Yunshu remembered that the two really hadn't come back after they went out to get the clay figurines.
But she thought at that time that they might just be strolling around somewhere else on their own, so she didn't say much. After all, Yan Qi was highly skilled in martial arts and ordinary people couldn't do anything to him.
Seeing Feng Yunshu running out, Yan Liu was momentarily at a loss for words. He hesitated and looked at Helan Yanting.
Helan Yanting's eyelids grew cold. “Just say it.”
“Not long ago, several of us saw the distress signal sent by Yan Qi in the air. The totem on that distress firework is unique to our Prince's Mansion. We couldn't have been mistaken.”
“We were worried that something had happened to Yan Qi, so I and some other secret guards searched for him in the general direction where the signal was sent. As a result, when we got to a forest in the northern suburbs, we only saw traces of a fight around. There was also blood splattered on several bamboo trees, but we couldn't find anyone after searching around.”
“Your subordinate and others judge that Yan Qi and Miss Ziyuan may have been taken away by someone.”
After hearing this, Feng Yunshu felt extremely cold inside. She subconsciously grabbed Helan Yanting's sleeve beside her. “Your Highness, how could this happen?! Who could have captured Yan Qi and Ziyuan? We have to find them quickly, or something bad might happen!”
Noticing that Feng Yunshu was trembling all over and very worried, Helan Yanting held her hand and comforted her. “My lady, don't be anxious. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet. Leave this matter to me. I will definitely find them back as soon as possible.”
Feng Yunshu's mind was in a complete mess. She could only nod blankly. The toxicity of the Gu poison probably hadn't completely dissipated yet. She felt that she had no strength in her body at all. Most of her body leaned on Helan Yanting, and she even seemed to have no strength to say a word.
It took her a long time to say with difficulty, “Your Highness, could it be the people from the Mu Mansion? Could it be that the First Lady and the others did it?! Because Your Highness caught them and got the antidote, so they immediately took revenge?!”
“It's possible. The enemy is in the dark for now. We can be sure that they won't rush to take action after capturing Yan Qi and Ziyuan. They must be using them as a threat. Maybe we don't need to look for them and they will come to us soon.”
After hearing this, Feng Yunshu thought about whether she could do something. But at this moment, her heart suddenly started beating faster, her blood was flowing rapidly as if it was about to boil, and her breathing also became rapid.
“My lady, don't be anxious or get angry. Relax. Adjust your breathing. Empty your mind and don't think about anything...”
Helan Yanting saw that Feng Yunshu's situation was very abnormal. He put his arm around her shoulder and whispered in her ear, trying his best to make her relax. Then Helan Yanting took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured out a pill and stuffed it into her mouth.
After swallowing the pill, Feng Yunshu felt that her body gradually returned to normal and her breathing also calmed down.
“Your Highness, I'm fine. Your Highness doesn't need to worry about me. Let's think of a way to find Yan Qi and Ziyuan as soon as possible. Ziyuan has been with me like a younger sister. Now her life or death is unknown. I'm very worried.”
Feng Yunshu was really annoyed by her useless body at this moment. Her hatred for the First Lady also deepened. It was all because of her that this body was poisoned, and it was also because of the poisoning that she had become so weak.
No, she mustn't be delayed by this!
Afraid that Helan Yanting would worry about her, Feng Yunshu lied that she was sleepy and wanted to rest first, asking him not to worry about her.
Helan Yanting saw that her complexion had returned to normal and her speech was no longer so weak. He didn't think much about it. He sent her to the bed, covered her with the quilt, and pushed aside a few strands of loose hair on her forehead.
“My lady, have a good rest. I won't let anything happen to Yan Qi and the other. Everything will be fine when my lady wakes up.”
Feng Yunshu suddenly felt her nose sour. Her eyes were slightly red and moist. His words were so gentle and reassuring that she would unconditionally believe this man in front of her.
“Okay, I believe Your Highness.” Feng Yunshu reached out and gently hugged him. Helan Yanting bent down and planted a soft kiss on her fair and smooth forehead, then turned around and walked out of the room, closing the door.
After making sure that Helan Yanting had left, Feng Yunshu opened her eyes. “Xiaoling, come here quickly.”
Xiaoling, who was lying on the couch beside her, heard the call. It quickly jumped off the couch and ran to Feng Yunshu's bedside with its short legs pattering.
“Master, how's your body? I heard from Prince Helan that he has given you the antidote. Has the poison in your body been eliminated?”
“It probably won't be eliminated so quickly, but it won't be a big problem. I didn't expect that the Prince has been secretly protecting me all along. After he learned that I was poisoned, he started looking for the antidote...”
Feng Yunshu couldn't help choking up as she said this. “I always suspected before that his tenderness and concern were just for show. Now it seems that I've always misunderstood the Prince's sincerity. A stupid person like me is really lucky to meet a considerate and sincere person like the Prince...”
Seeing that her master's eyes were moist, Xiaoling raised its paw and wanted to wipe her tears. “Master, don't cry. My master is so smart, cute, kind and beautiful. Of course, everyone loves you and flowers bloom when they see you. It's only right for Prince Helan to be good to you! If he dares to be bad to you, Xiaoling will scratch him with my claws!”
Seeing Xiaoling deliberately baring its teeth and making a fierce face, Feng Yunshu couldn't help laughing out loud. “You little rascal. With your mediocre skills, can you beat him?”
“Master~ Xiaoling will be very powerful after my spiritual power is fully restored!”
“Okay, stop joking. Let's talk about something serious. I've finished the Great - tonic Pills I prepared myself before. Go and prepare a few pills for me according to the previous formula and inject spiritual power into them. I need the Great - tonic Pills to quickly recover my strength.”
After hearing this, Xiaoling immediately turned around and ran to the small cubicle to prepare the pills. After a while, it came back bouncing with a small medicine bottle in its hands.
Normally, Feng Yunshu would only take one pill at a time, but this time she took two.
“Master, isn't two pills too much?”
