The door was pushed open, and Xiao Zhongyan rushed in. Upon seeing Nangong Shuang lying on the ground, he was instantly taken aback. "Nangong Shuang!"
He hurried forward, wanting to help her up, but the moment he touched her, a bone-chilling coldness surged through him, as if he had come into contact with ice.
"Is the Cold Poison acting up?" Xiao Zhongyan quickly assessed the situation. Without hesitation, he lifted Nangong Shuang in his arms and hurried outside.
"Put... put me down..." Nangong Shuang struggled to say, "It's dangerous..."
"Don't talk. I'm taking you to see someone," Xiao Zhongyan said firmly as he carried her through the corridor to a side hall deep within the manor.
Inside the hall, brightly lit, an elderly man with white hair was preparing medicine. When he saw them enter, he looked up in surprise. "Young Master, what is this...?"
"Fan Lao, please save her!" Xiao Zhongyan urged anxiously. "The Cold Poison is acting up; it's critical!"
Upon seeing Nangong Shuang's symptoms, the old man immediately set aside his work and gestured for Xiao Zhongyan to lay her on the bed.
"This Cold Poison is severe, and she has a natural Ice Muscle Jade Bone constitution!" the old man exclaimed. "Young Master, where did you find such a remarkable person?"
"Stop talking and save her!" Xiao Zhongyan said urgently.
The old man nodded and quickly retrieved several herbs from the cabinet. Skillfully grinding them into powder, he mixed them into a medicine. "This is an enhanced version of the Hui Yang Dan; it can temporarily suppress the Cold Poison, but for a permanent cure..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the hall door was pushed open again, and the Sixth Prince hurried in. "What’s going on? I felt a chill."
"Your Highness!" Xiao Zhongyan quickly bowed. "Nangong Shuang's Cold Poison has acted up; it's critical!"
The Sixth Prince stepped forward and examined Nangong Shuang's condition, his expression grave. "Indeed, she has an Ice Muscle Jade Bone constitution; it's exactly as described in ancient texts."
He turned to the old man. "Fan Lao, is there a way to help her?"
"It can be temporarily suppressed, but for a permanent cure..." Fan Lao shook his head. "Unless we have the Heavenly Fragrance Life-Extending Technique, it will be difficult to eradicate."
The Sixth Prince pondered for a moment before suddenly pulling out a small jade box from his robe. "This is the Nine Turns Returning Yang Pill that my father secretly kept; it was prepared for special royal constitutions. It might help."
Fan Lao took the jade box carefully and opened it. Inside lay a crystal-clear red pill that emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.
"This is indeed the legendary Nine Turns Returning Yang Pill!" Fan Lao exclaimed in astonishment. "With this elixir, she will surely be saved."
He carefully took out the pill and fed it to Nangong Shuang. Moments later, the bluish hue on her face began to fade, and her breathing gradually stabilized.
"The Cold Poison within her is too strong; this pill can only alleviate the symptoms but cannot cure it," Fan Lao sighed. "Unless we find the Heavenly Fragrance Life-Extending Technique and learn how to control the Cold Poison, it will inevitably relapse."
The Sixth Prince seemed deep in thought. "The Heavenly Fragrance Life-Extending Technique is hidden in Mei Ying Villa..."
Xiao Zhongyan looked at him in surprise. "You know about it too?"
"I have seen snippets in my father's confidential documents," the Sixth Prince nodded. "The downfall of the Nangong Family is closely related to this medical book. It is said that it not only records methods to control Cold Poison but also hides a significant secret concerning the royal family."
The three fell silent for a moment, and then Nan Gong Shuang's weak voice broke the stillness. "Thank you... all of you for saving me..."
Xiao Zhongyan quickly stepped forward. "Nan Gong Shuang, how are you feeling?"
"Much better," Nan Gong Shuang forced a smile. "I just feel completely drained and need to rest for a while."
The Sixth Prince asked with concern, "Do you know how special your constitution is?"
