Chapter 513 - 342: I Will Take Responsibility for You

This kiss was incredibly long.

Song Yiren closed her eyes, tightly embracing Li Nuo, responding to him with passion and intensity.

From Daxia to Zhao Country, she had waited a long time for this moment.

As time passed, her heart, which was pounding initially, gradually calmed down.

The next moment, a surge of tremendous power suddenly erupted from her dantian, quickly filling all her meridians.

If the True Qi of the Fourth Realm was like a rushing river, surging forward with overwhelming momentum.

At this moment, the True Qi within her was like a vast lake; though calm on the surface, it hid an endless expanse beneath.

After diligent practice and striving in vain, she silently broke through to the Grandmaster Realm.

And the love she had longed for had finally arrived.

At this moment, the prophecy of the fortune-telling old man was completely fulfilled on her.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

This long kiss was still ongoing when urgent knocks suddenly sounded from outside.

The abrupt noise pulled Song Yiren out of her fantasy. She hurriedly pushed Li Nuo away, her face flushed, and said, "You should go answer the door, in case someone has an urgent matter..."

Li Nuo left the room, walking irritably towards the courtyard gate.

Knocking so early in the morning!

There better be something urgent, or Li Nuo would make sure there was!

Inside the room, Song Yiren stood still, covering her face with her hands, only to realize her face was burning.

Though she had always anticipated this day, now that it had truly arrived, she was flustered and at a loss for what to do.

He kissed her when she woke, on the lips, with his tongue... Does this count as a confession?

Li Nuo reached the gate and opened it, seeing Doctor Sun standing anxiously outside.

Before Li Nuo could ask, Doctor Sun hurriedly said, "Doctor Li, something terrible has happened. The Sixth Princess is in trouble. You must quickly go to the palace!"

...

Zhao Country.

Imperial Palace.

This morning, the palace was completely under lockdown.

The morning court session was canceled, officials returned to their offices, and all renowned doctors in the capital were urgently summoned to the palace.

Though the details were unclear, people guessed that something significant had occurred.

Zhaoyang Palace.

Eunuchs and palace maids frequently entered and exited the hall, their expressions urgent.

Several Princes stood nervously outside, waiting.

Inside the hall, it was filled with Fourth Realm doctors. Doctor Chen stood by the bed, looking at the unconscious woman on it, sweat streaming down his forehead.

An old eunuch standing beside him frowned and asked, "Doctor Chen, His Majesty has inquired multiple times. What is wrong with the Sixth Princess? Why won't she wake up?"

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Doctor Chen replied, "My medical skills are insufficient to diagnose the cause of the Sixth Princess's coma. Please inform His Majesty that I have sent for my master. He should be arriving soon..."

The old eunuch nodded and hurried away.

Doctor Chen looked at someone and asked, "Brother Jiang, what do you think?"

Doctor Jiang shook his head, saying, "Her pulse is stable, True Qi shows no abnormalities, and it doesn't seem like poisoning. I've never seen anything like this in my life and have no clue..."

Doctor Chen inquired with the other doctors, but they also shook their heads helplessly.

He rubbed his temples again, feeling a headache coming on.

This morning, Zhaoyang Palace maids reported that the Sixth Princess had suddenly fallen unconscious.

With the Sixth Princess about to ascend the throne, the Imperial Hospital was extremely concerned. All the Imperial Physicians rushed to Zhaoyang Palace immediately but found nothing wrong.

He had summoned all the Fourth Realm doctors in the capital, but they could diagnose nothing either.

Despite no visible abnormalities, the Sixth Princess remained unresponsive.

As everyone was at a loss, a figure walked in from outside.

Doctor Chen and several Imperial Physicians immediately walked up quickly and bowed, "Greetings, Master!"

"Greetings, Medical Saint!"

Seeing this elder, all the other doctors also bowed.

The master of the Imperial Doctor, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, was the only Fifth Realm doctor in Zhao Country and even the continent.

The elder nodded slightly to everyone, walked to the bedside, placed two fingers lightly on the woman's wrist, and closed his eyes.

The hall fell silent, so much so that even the breathing of the doctors slowed down.

At a certain moment, the elder's eyes suddenly opened.

Doctor Chen immediately asked, "Master, what is wrong with Her Highness?"

The elder slowly withdrew his hand and said in a deep voice, "It's Gu Poison."

His words caused an uproar in the hall.

"What!"

"How could Her Highness be poisoned by Gu?"

"Wasn't the inheritance of the Gu Doctors long extinct?"

"Who could be so bold as to use such a malicious method on Her Highness?"

Throughout history, medicine and poison were often intertwined. Healers, if they took a dark path, easily became Poison Doctors who took lives.

Gu Doctors were a branch of Poison Doctors, using sinister Gu techniques to easily poison High Realm experts, making people terrified of Gu.

Unlike regular poison, which needed to be ingested, Gu could be controlled from a distance, making it nearly impossible to defend against.

Once inside the body, Gu insects absorbed nutrients and continuously produced Gu Poison, far more potent than ordinary poisons. The Gu Poison from some powerful Gu insects required doctors of the Fifth Realm or even Sixth Realm to expel.

Doctors of the Fourth Realm couldn't even detect the existence of Gu Poison.

This was why Gu Doctors had been hunted down by various factions and had disappeared for centuries.
