Chapter 565 - 544: Second Update
Zheng Nianru sat in her chair, her gaze fixed motionlessly on the shadow behind the bed curtain, while Nanny Yun, Fu Dong, and others stood by with anxious faces, waiting for a figure to appear from behind the curtain.
The moment a person emerged, Zheng Nianru immediately stood up from her chair to look at the newcomer.
Elder Su was not meeting Zheng Nianru for the first time. On his first visit to Zheng Capital, he had already learned of the name Zheng Nianru from Elder Can and had seen Prince Duan.
Elder Su did not know whether all of this was good or bad for the young lady, but now that things had come to this point, they could only take one step at a time and see what would happen.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess, he is out of danger now. As long as he recovers slowly, our Young Master can use the vital energy of Ghost Shadow to suppress the toxin each month, and his life will not be in danger," Elder Su said very clearly. He was aware of Elder Can’s intentions and, in an instant, their Young Master had already reached an agreement with Lord Ju.
Therefore, taking advantage of the moment just now, he had quietly administered the poison, a poison that does not harm the foundation and cannot be detected. As long as the Young Master makes a move to suppress it, it could stay in the body for a lifetime.
Zheng Nianru glanced at the elder, understanding his meaning — Yin He had to take action every month. Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, things had come to this point, and she was not a fool; naturally, she understood the purpose.
"If the Princess has no other business, then this old man will take his leave first," Elder Su said with great respect towards Zheng Nianru. The temperament of their Young Master was unpredictable, and he was extremely aggressive towards things he cared about. Even now, if this young lady beckoned, their Young Master would immediately scurry over, and killing them would be done without a second thought.
Therefore, even if it meant offending the Young Master, they could not afford to offend the young lady before them.
Zheng Nianru nodded her head, and once Elder Su had left, she walked straight to the bedside, lifted the bed curtain, and found Zheng Congyuan lying there with steady breaths. Only then did Zheng Nianru breathe a sigh of relief. Her gaze still couldn’t bear to leave him — it was good that he was alive.
