.There's probably no happier mother-in-law than her in the world. She's so well-cared for by her daughter-in-law even at this age."Jinxiu, you better stop talking. People in the village already know m...After a long while, Fang Jinxiu finally retracted her hand from the pulse reading. The shock in her heart was indescribable.

The person lying in bed looked so young, not even middle-aged. Thirteen kinds of劇毒 simultaneously attacked his body, the pain was no less than that of being dissected alive before death—skin, joints, and internal organs were torn apart inch by inch.

What kind of ordeal caused him to be poisoned with so many different toxins

To survive such a close call is truly miraculous.

Fang Jinshi also thought about why he didn't die. With thirteen kinds of poison, there were too many. It should be a phenomenon of mutual generation and restraint, forming a strange balance in his body.

This kind of balance is not benevolent.

The deadly poison was constantly corroding his body. Gu Liu Sheng, who had collected those rare herbs from all over the world, the antidote holy medicine, did have a certain effect.

Otherwise, no matter how the toxins in this person's body interact with each other, they will not live for five years.

A trace of pain flashed in Gu Liu Sheng's eyes. When facing this person and talking about things related to him, he finally let go of his mask, allowing Fang Jinxiu to see a glimpse of Gu Liu Sheng's true self.

"He became like this because of me."

No matter what the cost, I must save him.

Although he wasn't looking at Fang Jinshu, Fang Jinshu understood that his next words were all for her.

"I won't let you leave, because I know the detoxification process will be long and perilous."

"Once started, I will not allow you to retreat."

"If," his voice trembled slightly, "if you can truly heal him, from now on, you will be Gu Liu Sheng's benefactor. No matter what conditions or requests you make."

"As long as it's within my capabilities, I will do my best."

Fan Jinshi stood up, "Mr. Gu's conditions are very tempting."

"What if I can't bring them back"

She actually already knew the answer in her heart, whether she asked the question or not.

This person in bed, the toxins in their body are balancing each other out, which is why they haven't had a toxic reaction yet.

Once someone attempts to detoxify him from the outside, they will inevitably disrupt the balance of the thirteen poisons within his body. To detoxify him is like walking a tightrope between cliffs.

If he made even a slight mistake, he would die instantly.

Can Gu Liu Sheng let them go now that this person is dead

Fang Jinshui subconsciously closed her eyes. The situation was more complicated than she had anticipated, and she couldn't make a decision right away.

"Mr. Gu, could I consider it"

A hint of coldness flashed in Gu Liu Sheng's eyes, but he didn't directly refuse.

"Madam Zong is a smart woman, dragging this out will do you no good."

"I know, it's just that this person's situation is more complicated than I thought. I need some time to think about it."

Gu Liu Sheng smiled, "Okay, you have one day to consider it."

Fang Jinshu and Zong Yu entered here without thinking that Gu Liusheng would ask them to leave.

This little building has more than just this one room. Gu Liusheng took them around for a tour and arranged a south-facing guest room for the two of them.

While wandering, Fang Jinshi came across a pharmacy. It had everything: medicinal herbs, fields for growing them, and an apothecary shop fully equipped.

It seems she isn't the first doctor to come here.

Gu Liu Sheng sent them into the guest room and then turned to leave.

Closing the door, Guan Jiangxiu slumped onto the bed with exhaustion. She rubbed her temples, trying to ease the throbbing pain in her head.

"There were no guards around."

Zong Yu always first observed his surroundings, it was indeed strange that there were no guards.

"Because Gu Liusheng knows we can't run away."

"Besides curing the sleeping prince upstairs, we have no other way out."

"From the moment we stepped into this courtyard, we were already caught in their trap."

Zong Yu walked to the bedside and sat down, propping one hand on Fang Jinxiu's side, gazing down at her from above. Whenever there were no outsiders around, the expression on his face would soften considerably.

He reached out with his other hand to smooth the stray hairs on Fang Jinxiu's face, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. No one can hurt you."

Fang Jinxiu, following the momentum, rubbed her face against Zong Yu's hand, just like a docile kitten.

The worry in Ayu's eyes was not well hidden.

She smiled and asked, “Worried I can’t undo the Sleeping Beauty’s curse”

Zong Yu paused for a moment, "No, I believe you can solve it."w house," Fang Jinxiu said helplessly. "But I've already told Village Chief Wang that we'll buy this deserted mountain where we live.""With the drought causing famine everywhere now, land and barren h...
