Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 406

"Don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, this kind of thing will never happen again."

Ye Xi just cried and didn't say anything.

Because both of them were injured and needed someone to help them change their dressings, it was not convenient for them to lie on the same bed, so Wei Jue placed Ye Xi in the next room.

Ye Xi's injury will heal if she takes good care of herself, but Wei Jue's poison doesn't seem easy to cure.

Although Xue Jiu had found out the ingredients of the poison, one of the ingredients had an antidote that was hard to find, so he could only use a medicine with similar properties instead.

However, it cannot achieve the effect of complete detoxification, which means that before finding that medicine, Wei Jue's body was poisonous.

Although it is not immediately fatal, the longer it is delayed, the more harmful it is to the human body.

The doctor guessed that the enemy deliberately used this poison which did not take effect immediately as some other conspiracy, and it was thanks to this that the adults were spared.

Upon hearing the news, Wei Jue's face became terribly gloomy, and he looked unhappy for several days. The guards around him all felt the heavy pressure pressing down on them.

Ye Xi also felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere these days.

She remembered that when she first arrived, Wei Jue was in a good mood, and the guards' faces were also happy after surviving a disaster, but now they all had frowns or expressionless faces.

Wei Jue used to come to see Ye Xi every day because she couldn't move freely, but he hadn't come for the past two days, which made her feel uneasy.

Finally, after Lin Yan helped her change the medicine, she asked.

Lin Yan hesitated for a long time, glanced outside the door several times, and then whispered:

"The doctor said that there is no medicine that can remove the remaining toxins in your body, and we can only use alternative medicines to temporarily suppress it. But the longer we delay, the more harmful it will be to your health.

Now the doctor has said that the patient can only walk normally and cannot wield swords or guns for fear of aggravating the poison.

The master may be dissatisfied with this. He has been in a bad mood for the past two days. Also, the master seems to be in poor health these two days."

Lin Yan couldn't say that she occasionally heard the adults groaning in pain when she passed by their room.

Ye Xi was stunned, she didn't expect Wei Jue's injury to be so serious. She thought his bad complexion was just because of the injury, she didn't expect it was because of the poison.

She thought for a moment, then said, "I want to see the adults, please carry me over."

"But Madam, your injury..."

"It's okay. It's getting better after a while."

Because of Ye Xi's insistence, Lin Yan still carried the child over to find an adult.

Wei Jue didn't know what he was thinking. He was a little annoyed when he was interrupted. Before he could get angry, he was stunned when he saw that the person coming was Ye Xi.

Hearing Lin Yan say that Ye Xi insisted on seeing him, he was touched and thought that this young lady had finally come to her senses and knew how good he was.

He even came to see me despite his injuries. Thinking of this, he felt like his heart was filled with honey, and his bad mood of the past two days was much relieved.

This good mood reached its peak when he heard Ye Xi's next words.

"Sir, I heard that your injury has not healed for a long time. Why don't we return to the capital as soon as possible and find a better doctor to treat you?"

Ye Xi didn't dare to say what Lin Yan had said, and just used the excuse of "long-term treatment cannot heal" to cover it up.

She wanted to persuade Wei Jue to return to Beijing as soon as possible to detoxify. Her Ye'er was still young and couldn't afford to be without his father, absolutely not!

"Xi Niang, are you worried about me?"

Wei Jue teased her, and the curve of his lips couldn't be suppressed. He looked at Ye Xi with deep eyes.

"..."

Ye Xi didn't want to answer this question and wanted to change the subject back to persuading him to return to Beijing, but was interrupted by his subordinates who came rushing over.

"My Lord, something happened in the capital! The emperor and the crown prince were assassinated on their way back to the palace. The capital is in chaos now. The Duke asked you to return to the capital as soon as possible."

A thunder on the ground!
