Nangong Shuang weakly nodded, but suddenly recalled an important detail. "Wait, the 'Heavenly Fragrance Life-Extending Technique' mentions that the poison of 'Mei Ying San' resonates with the patient's bloodline, especially affecting those with special constitutions more severely. The attraction of 'Xue Mei' to the birthmark on my wrist seems to confirm this."
Xiao Zhongyan pondered for a moment. "Are you saying that you might have some kind of special bloodline within you, making the effects of 'Mei Ying San' on you more intense?"
Nangong Shuang nodded. "My father once said that our Nangong Family's ancestors were royal physicians, treating the royal family for generations. Perhaps it is precisely because of our long-term exposure to the Royal Bloodline that we have developed some kind of mutation, leading to a special connection with 'Mei Ying San.'"
A glimmer of surprise flashed in Xiao Zhongyan's eyes. "Your speculation makes a lot of sense. This also explains why the murderer chose to use 'Mei Ying San,' a special poison, instead of other more common toxins."
Nangong Shuang suddenly thought of a crucial question. "If that's the case, then my connection with 'Mei Ying San' might not just be that of poison and victim, but rather a deeper bloodline affinity?"
Xiao Zhongyan nodded. "It's very possible." He suddenly changed the subject. "By the way, do you know where 'Xue Mei' comes from?"
Nangong Shuang shook her head. "I only know it's an extremely rare Poison Flower and is the main ingredient in 'Mei Ying San,' but I don't know its specific origin."
Xiao Zhongyan said mysteriously, "According to records I found in my family's ancient texts, 'Xue Mei' is not a naturally growing flower but rather a man-made product. It requires special soil and moisture for cultivation, and most importantly..." He paused for effect, "most importantly, it needs to be watered with blood, specifically from individuals with certain bloodlines."
Nangong Shuang's heart raced. "Certain bloodlines? What kind of bloodlines?"
Xiao Zhongyan looked deeply into her eyes. "Royal Bloodline."
Nangong Shuang felt as if struck by lightning. "Royal Bloodline?!" She couldn't believe her ears. "Are you saying that 'Xue Mei' is cultivated using royal blood?"
Xiao Zhongyan nodded. "Not only that, but it is said that only those with Royal Bloodline can be harmed by 'Mei Ying San'; it is ineffective against ordinary people. This is why this poison is so rare—it specifically targets royalty."
A storm surged within Nangong Shuang's heart: if this were true, then the reason she was poisoned by 'Mei Ying San' was because royal blood flowed through her veins? How could that be? Although the Nangong Family had served as royal physicians for generations, they were not royalty!
Just as she was deep in thought, hurried footsteps approached from outside, followed by Qiao Er's voice calling out, "Miss, are you there?"
Nangong Shuang quickly opened the door, and Qiao Er rushed in with an anxious expression. Upon seeing Nangong Shuang's condition, she exclaimed, "Miss, your poisoning has worsened!"
Nangong Shuang smiled weakly. "It's nothing; we have already found the formula for the antidote and located 'Xue Mei.' We will soon be able to concoct the antidote."
Only then did Qiao Er breathe a sigh of relief before nervously saying, "Miss, I followed your instructions and went to Bai Lu Guan to find Dao Qingzi. After reading your letter, he immediately gave me this." She pulled out a small porcelain vial from her bosom. "The Daoist said this is 'Deworming Spirit,' which he received from Nangong Laoyezi many years ago and is specifically used against 'Mei Ying San.'"
Nangong Shuang was overjoyed and quickly took the vial from her hands. Opening it revealed several small black pills inside. Carefully, she took one and placed it in her mouth, feeling a cool sensation rapidly spread from her throat throughout her body; the intense pain in her left wrist immediately eased significantly.
