Chapter 114: Revelation: The Truth About the Miscarriage
Ye Jiuge looked at Imperial Consort Xi’s skin, which had turned as red as a cooked lobster, and finally recalled the thought that had flitted across her mind earlier.
There is something wrong with Imperial Consort Xi’s fingernails!
Imperial Consort Xi’s brilliant red-colored fingernails had turned a strange, dark green color. They emitted a faint fishy smell—the unique smell of a Green Toad.
Needless to say, this must have been the doing of the Spiritual Doctor who had been prescribing her fake medicine. He had used the Green Toad’s poison as nail polish for Imperial Consort Xi. The Green Toad and Fantasy Beauty poisons counteracted each other’s effects. When Imperial Consort Xi consumed the antidote for Fantasy Beauty, the Green Toad’s poison was immediately activated.
However, since the amount of Green Toad poison afflicting Imperial Consort Xi was minute and diluted with nail polish, Ye Jiuge had neglected it. Ye Jiuge opened her Spiritual Eye to observe Imperial Consort Xi’s body; the Green Toad’s toxins had completely clogged her spiritual channels. If they were not cleared soon, Imperial Consort Xi would die.
“Imperial Consort, hang in there!” With a solemn expression, Ye Jiuge took out the Lightning Fire Needle. As fast as she could, she applied it to Imperial Consort Xi’s body.
Ever since she had released the Godly Heartwood’s seal to save Dongfang Que, the Lightning Fire Needle had acquired a hint of the breath of life. Since then, its effectiveness had increased exponentially. The red-colored needle with a trace of violet was like a raindrop in Ye Jiuge’s hand as it landed on Imperial Consort Xi. Every one of her jabs accurately pierced the patient’s acupuncture points.
Ye Jiuge removed a droplet of dark green blood. Imperial Consort Xi felt the blazing fire burning hotter as Ye Jiuge applied her needle. The pain was worsening, and she was losing her mind.
Ye Jiuge’s expression was grave, and her heart burned with anxiety. The Indigo Jade Water Plant’s anesthetic effect would not last for long. If she could not force the Green Toad’s poison out soon, Ye Jiuge feared that Imperial Consort Xi would not be able to endure what came next. Everything depended on her will, not the Indigo Jade Water Plant’s effects.
