Chapter 1016: Chapter 816 First Time Antidote

Song Cheng hurriedly opened it and found a bottle inside with a note attached bearing two words: "Initial Antidote."

Song Cheng quickly placed the bottle of antidote in front of Nan Feng, "Lady Nan Feng, do you think we can trust this?"

Nan Feng took the antidote, regaining some composure.

Since it was the initial antidote, it might only save his life temporarily and not provide a complete cure. If the barbarians were responsible, then Tuoba Lie certainly wouldn’t provide the full antidote to Brother Qia Ye so swiftly.

Now the physician had been inside for half a day, confessing such poison was unheard of to him. Currently, he could only use silver needles to keep the poison from invading the viscera to preserve life. However, if there were no more antidotes, Brother Qia Ye would undoubtedly die.

"Lord Song, please take it to Brother Qia Ye. Preserving his life is what’s most important now."

...

To save Brother Qia Ye’s life, Song Cheng had nearly summoned every physician in the city.

Those before had no idea what poison Brother Qia Ye had been afflicted with. It wasn’t until evening that one physician hesitantly suggested, "It may be Intestinal Cutter Poison. This poison is extremely potent. There is an antidote, but the initial antidote can only prolong life. Without a subsequent antidote, General Nangong may manage to stay alive but barely so."

"Does that mean he’ll be like a tree, alive but unable to speak or move?" Nan Feng asked.

The physician nodded and Nan Feng felt as if struck by a thunderbolt.

How was this any different from being dead?

"Then what if..." Nan Feng began to cry again, "is there a deadline for obtaining the second antidote? For instance, by when must we acquire it at the earliest?"

"Between half a year to a year, if it isn’t acquired by then, General Nangong will surely die."

...

Dashun.

Tuoba Lie’s envoy had returned.

"Your Highness the Second Prince, the mission is complete. I personally witnessed Nangong Ye being carried inside, and the initial antidote has been delivered," a subordinate knelt before Tuoba Lie.

"Excellent, well done, marvelous," Tuoba Lie was as thrilled as if he had won a battle.

Who could outplay him in schemes?

"Qing Mu, I will reward you with a hundred sheep and several maidens from the grasslands."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Second Prince!"

"Tell me..." Tuoba Lie lay lazily on the lounge, "when can that woman, who has lost her way and doesn’t know how to come home, return?"

"This..." Qing Mu pondered, "Your Highness, I am not familiar with the Second Princess. I am unclear on this matter."

This would depend on how much Nan Feng valued Nangong Ye. If she wished for him to live, she would probably come. If she did not wish for him to live, then she wouldn’t come.

Tuoba Lie squinted his eyes, "That woman has always valued others’ lives more than her own. I’m sure she will come. Oh, and if envoys from Dajin visit during this period, make sure you treat them very well."

"Yes, Your Highness the Second Prince."

...

In the room, Nan Feng carefully observed Brother Qia Ye’s face under the candlelight. She could not believe that Brother Qia Ye, who had been so robust and imposing, had suddenly turned into what he was now.

"Brother Qia Ye..." As soon as Nan Feng spoke, tears involuntarily fell.

Brother Qia Ye was completely motionless, as if he were asleep.

Nan Feng had never seen Brother Qia Ye like this before, but as long as he was not dead, there was hope.

Embracing Brother Qia Ye, she said, "Brother Qia Ye, I won’t let Tuoba Lie succeed. No matter what poison it is, I will find the antidote. I absolutely need you to live well."
