Chapter 140 1 It will be fine
"Wow!"
Yan Ling flapped its wings and flew high like a burning flame. The moment its wings spread, it was like a ray of flame cutting through the sky, as if tearing apart the barrier of the sky.
Yan Ling carried Su Chenyin and Jun Yijue on his back and rushed towards Luoyang City like a sharp arrow.
Su Chenyin was extremely anxious. She sat on Yan Ling's back like sitting on pins and needles, letting the strong wind blow in her face like a sharp blade, her heart full of doubts.
Last time, she had given the rejuvenation pill to Lu Yanchen to take back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. According to the conditioning formula she gave, yesterday should have been the time for his mother to take the rejuvenation pill.
But why was Lu Yanchen's mother poisoned again?
Su Chenyin frowned. Who on earth was so cruel that he had to kill Lu Yanchen's mother?
Moreover, since Lu Yanchen's mother was poisoned in the first place, it seems that there must be a traitor in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
"Yinyin, it's okay."
Jun Yijue hugged Su Chenyin tightly from behind, his voice low and gentle, like a warm spring breeze that blew away the anxiety in her heart.
Su Chenyin nodded slightly and leaned her head gently on Jun Yijue's chest, listening to his steady heartbeat and feeling a little comforted.
"By the way, I have to send a note to Professor Xu. We need to take a few days off."
Su Chenyin muttered to himself, took out a communication note from the space, and quickly sent a message to Teacher Xu Yi.
Shortly after the message was sent, the communication note vibrated. It was a reply from Teacher Xu Yi:
"Chen Yin, what happened? Yesterday you vowed to practice hard, but today you told me that you would skip classes for a few days?"
Su Chenyin quickly replied: "Teacher Xu, I'm so sorry, we have something important to attend to and can't be delayed. We will rush back as soon as possible. Ajue and I will try our best to make up for the missed classes."
There was silence for a moment, and then a message came: "In that case, I will approve your leave. But remember, you can't slack off on the path of cultivation. After dealing with urgent matters, you must come back as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Mr. Xu. We will definitely do it."
After Su Chenyin replied, she put away the communication note, leaned back into Jun Yijue's arms, and looked ahead anxiously.
At this moment, Yan Ling was as fast as lightning. He flew away from the Cangluo Holy Academy at lightning speed and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Luoyang City, the Duke Zhenguo Mansion.
At this time, the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion was in chaos. Everyone in the mansion was busy and everyone's face was filled with anxiety.
In a bedroom, a beautiful woman lay quietly on the bed with her eyes closed.
Her face was as pale as paper, her breath was weak, she was dying, and her lips were purple. It was obvious that she had been severely poisoned and her life was imminent.
A middle-aged man kneeling beside the bed was Lu Ziche's father, Lu Jingting, Duke Lu Zhenguo, and the beautiful woman lying on the bed was his wife, Lou Shuxue.
Lu Jingting held his wife's hand tightly, his eyes were bloodshot, he was heartbroken, and his face was full of worry and helplessness.
"Xue'er..." Lu Jingting kept calling his wife's name in a low voice, with an unconcealable tremor in his voice.
Lu Yanchen paced back and forth in the room anxiously, his face full of worry and pain.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms, but it did nothing to ease the anxiety in his heart.
At this time, the court doctor was standing aside, sweating profusely.
He searched through medical books and tried every possible method, but still could not find out what the poison in Lou Shuxue's body was.
His face was as solemn as iron, his brows were furrowed, and he shook his head helplessly, indicating that he was helpless against the poison that Lou Shuxue had been poisoned with.
"Doctor Zhang, is there really no other way?" Lu Jingting's voice was filled with a hint of despair.
Doctor Zhang nodded heavily, his voice revealing helplessness and regret: "Duke, I really have tried my best. This poison is too strange, I have never seen it before."
"If the poison is not detoxified, within three days, Madam will...will..." Doctor Zhang swallowed, but ultimately failed to utter the heartbreaking conclusion.
Doctor Zhang lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Lu Jingting's desperate eyes.
When Lu Jingting heard this, his body began to tremble involuntarily, as if a sharp knife had stabbed him in the heart, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe.
He slowly turned his head, unwilling to accept this fact, his face revealing pain and sadness that was difficult to conceal, and tears flashing in his eyes.
He held Lou Shuxue's hands tightly. Those hands, which were once warm and strong, were now cold and weak.
He lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes, but he forced himself to hold them back, and whispered in a low voice: "Xue'er, you must hold on, you can't leave me."
"Doctor Zhang, do you really have no other solution?" Lu Yanchen grabbed the doctor's sleeve tightly and asked anxiously, his voice full of pleading.
Doctor Zhang sighed helplessly and shook his head slowly: "Young Master, I am at my wits' end. This poison is very strange, I have never seen it before. Unless we can find the person who poisoned you, there may be a way to cure you."
"Bang!" Lu Yanchen's clenched fist slammed heavily on the table next to him like a hammer.
The solid wood table shattered into pieces in an instant, which was enough to show how angry and helpless he was at the moment.
"Damn it, who on earth is so cruel to poison my mother so cruelly."
Lu Yanchen's voice was filled with endless pain and anger, his eyes were red and almost spewing fire.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps like a storm outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, the door was violently pushed open and a figure rushed in. This person was none other than Lu Ziche who had hurried back.
He was sweating, his clothes were disheveled, and his face was filled with anxiety.
When he saw the appearance of his mother Lou Shuxue, his face turned pale instantly and he hurried to the bedside.
"Mother..." Lu Ziche's voice was choked with sobs. He held Lou Shuxue's other hand tightly, and tears flowed down uncontrollably like a flood.
"Mother, I'm back. You have to hold on. Everything will be fine. Everything will be fine."
Lu Ziche's voice echoed in the room, sounding like resentment, longing, crying, and complaining, with an indescribable sadness.
When Lu Jingting saw his son coming back, he felt a little relieved, but there was still despair in his eyes that was hard to conceal.
He suppressed his inner grief, patted Lu Ziche's shoulder gently, and said earnestly:
"Che'er, you're back. The most important thing now is to find a way to rescue your mother."
Lu Ziche raised his head with tears in his eyes and looked at his father. His lips trembled as if he had a thousand words to say, but he finally nodded heavily.
He knew that at this moment, he had to be strong and the most urgent task was to find a way to detoxify his mother.
