The Crown Prince and Nangong Shuang hurriedly went to the door, where they saw Xiao Zhongyan with a pale face, his left arm stained red with blood, being supported by two guards. In his right hand, he carefully held a wooden box.
"Lord Xiao!" the Crown Prince exclaimed, "What happened to you?"
Xiao Zhongyan managed to force a smile. "It's nothing serious, just encountered some trouble at the Prime Minister's residence." He handed the wooden box to Nangong Shuang. "I got the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus."
Nangong Shuang was both surprised and delighted as she quickly took the box and opened it. Inside was indeed a crystal-clear snow lotus, exuding a faint fragrance!
"That's wonderful!" Nangong Shuang cried with joy. "With this snow lotus, we can complete the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill!"
The Crown Prince asked with concern, "What trouble did you encounter at the Prime Minister's residence?"
Xiao Zhongyan sighed. "It seems the Prime Minister has become aware that we are investigating the Nangong Family Case and is very cautious. I pretended that I needed the snow lotus to treat my mother’s illness; he was half-convinced and was about to agree when suddenly a man in black barged in, claiming I was seeking medicine for the descendants of the Nangong Family. The Prime Minister flew into a rage and ordered my capture. Fortunately, I had prepared in advance and seized the opportunity to grab the snow lotus and escape."
Nangong Shuang looked at his wound with concern. "You took such risks for me; I am deeply grateful."
Xiao Zhongyan shook his head. "It's nothing; a minor injury is not worth mentioning. The important thing is to quickly refine the antidote and cure your poison."
The Crown Prince ordered people to bandage Xiao Zhongyan's wound and then said to Nangong Shuang, "You should hurry and refine the medicine; I will send someone to ensure your safety."
Nangong Shuang nodded, supported by Qiao Er, as she took the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus to the pharmacy to continue refining the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill.
"Sixth turn, add the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus..." Following the steps from the Medical Book, Nangong Shuang carefully handled each ingredient.
As she continued with the refining process, she felt her wrist's poison worsening, with pain that was nearly unbearable. She gritted her teeth and focused on refining the medicine, knowing it was her only chance for survival.
"Seventh turn completed..." Nangong Shuang's breath grew weaker, her forehead covered in cold sweat.
Qiao Er gently wiped away her sweat. "Miss, please take a break; let me help you."
Nangong Shuang shook her head. "No, refining the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill requires strict control over temperature and ingredient ratios; any mistake could ruin everything. I must persevere..."
She steeled herself and continued refining. With the completion of the eighth turn, the potion in the cauldron had turned deep purple, emitting a peculiar fragrance.
"Just one last turn..." Nangong Shuang murmured. "For the final step, I need to use my own blood to guide the medicine..."
She took out a silver needle and pricked her finger, letting her blood drip into the cauldron. As her blood fell in, the potion rapidly changed from purple to red before finally condensing into a crystal-clear pill!
"It worked!" Nangong Shuang smiled weakly as she reached out to retrieve the pill but suddenly felt dizzy; darkness enveloped her as she collapsed!
"Miss!" Qiao Er exclaimed in alarm as she quickly supported her.
Nangong Shuang forced her eyes open and struggled to say, "Quick... take out the pill... feed it to me..."
Qiao Er hurriedly used a silver spoon to extract the pill and carefully fed it to Nangong Shuang. The pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth; she felt a warm current flow from her throat throughout her body. Soon after, the intense pain in her left wrist began to ease, and the plum blossom-shaped poison spots gradually faded away!
"Great! The antidote is working!" Qiao Er exclaimed joyfully.
Nangong Shuang let out a long sigh of relief, feeling her strength slowly returning. She raised her left wrist and saw that the Plum Blossom Birthmark had returned to its normal light pink color, and the surrounding purple poison spots had completely vanished!
