The Anarchic Consort

Helian Wei Wei wrinkled her willowy eyebrows. She went to examine the second person’s hand.

Bursts of evil laughter came out from the other old man in black’s throat, like a demon’s. “Hehehe, don’t waste your energy. This is not your ordinary chemical powder. In it, a second drug was added. No matter what, you won’t be able to solve it!”

“He is right! In addition to the chemical powder, there was also bone-eroding powder in it!” There was no shortage of imperial physicians who served by the Retired Emperors side. This sentence made all four people alarmed!

The tournament outside the pavilion was still buzzing with activity.

But at this time, nobody had the inclination to watch.

Nobody could have anticipated that the feast would turn into a disaster!

Bone-eroding powder was a highly toxic, colourless and odourless powder, which had already been lost for many years. For those who did not have martial qi, it might only make people feel their whole body limp, like soft cotton.

However, for those with outstanding martial qi, at the moment their qi was activated, the poison would permeate their body.

If the antidote was not administered within 6 hours, even the immortals would not have any power to reverse it!

As soon as the Imperial Physician’s voice fell, a minister beside him could not support himself. He fell on the ground, his complexion turned green, not because he was furious, but a sign that the poisoning had spread. After using martial qi, the bone-eroding powder was triggered!!

Looking at the scene before his eyes, the Retired Emperor’s stared at his facial expression.

The elder in black began to laugh heartily again. The gloomy cawing sound that made people feel unwell reverberated throughout the room. “Do you think these two brats will be able to save you? There are very few people in the world who can remove the bone-eroding poison. I’d like to see how long you can persist!”

Having heard that, Baili Jia Jue moved. His eyes and eyebrows were cold as ice, the mighty martial qi’s moved to spread his sleeves out to create an endless dome, watery mists rushed forth.

“Even if you have a lot of martial qi, you’re also unable to use it up this way. If you have talent, it’s too unskilled. It’s only the water rank. Oh, water can put out the fire, but it can’t kill this old man!” The old man in black looked at him and gave a sudden sneer. As he spoke, his body soared to attack fiercely. It seemed as if he could wrest control of Baili Jia Jue in the next second!

Baili Jia Jue’s mood was not confused a bit, his voice was indifferent with a threat of cold arrogance, “Oh, is that right?”

That old man in black was stunned by the imposing remark.

At the next moment, the droplets of water that had fallen on the old man in black’s body suddenly burst forth into ice crystals. Then, the ice crystals above grew into sharp and pointed crystals. These crystals resembled crazily growing vines, and in a flash pierced a bloody hole in his body!

Baili Jia Jue lifted him with one hand and said coldly, “Speak, where is the antidote?”

“I did not expect there are still such people by the Retired Emperor’ side… The old devil and I were unexpectedly defeated by an adolescent boy. But, don’t think this old man will take out an antidote!”

Before he finished speaking, the elder in black spilt dark red blood from his mouth.

He committed suicide by taking poison!

Not only him, but even the shadows that stood behind him also fell one after another. A burst of mist rose up, and there was nothing but hissing sounds of eroded bones and faint gasps from the ministers.

Helian Wei Wei looked at the pool of blood. Apart from the bones, not a single trace was left by the elder in black. Her brows were raised.

This technique was designed to eliminate evidence.

It seemed that the other party was afraid to let people know where they came from.

“Retired Emperor, what should we do now?”

Their death implied that the antidote was gone. How would this not make the Minister feel anxious?

The Retired Emperor turned his head and looked at the Imperial Physician. “Imperial Physician Chen, can you do something about it?”

The Imperial Physician shook his head, it was an extremely thorny problem. “The toxicity of bone-eroding powder is too strong and there is only one chance to detoxify it. If the herbs used were incorrect, the poisoned person’s blood vessels will flow in reverse and immediately die!”

Suddenly, the house fell into silence, death was like a pair of invisible hands grasping everyone’s throat.

Right at this moment.

Helian Wei Wei, who stood on the side and did not speak for a long time, opened her mouth, “I have a way.”

Her voice was light and delicate.

The ministers unconsciously wrinkled their brows, and then looked at Helian Wei Wei’s eyes to probe.

Helian Wei Wei curled her thin lower lips, “What is it? You don’t seem to believe me very much.”

The Retired Emperor was well aware of her temperament. He knew this girl never had any apprehensions about others’ status. He opened his mouth, “We are all about to die, what are there to believe. Girl, if you can solve this bone-eroding poison, this emperor promises that not only I, the emperor, all the ministers present will owe you a favour. If you have a need in the future, you can always use our help. ”

“With the words of the Retired Emperor, it’s much convenient for me to act.” Helian Wei Wei glanced at the just awoken Eunuch Sun and helped him up, “Eunuch Sun, please go and ask someone to prepare seven big bath water. Make the water to a bubbling boil, and make ready a jar of wine each for all the ministers.”

Eunuch Sun was stunned. The bathtub? What’s the meaning of this? Is this detoxification or taking a bath?

One of the ministers also opened his mouth, he had a very good attitude, “The old man did not believe in the little girl’s idea, but this bone-eroding powder is the most resistant against luck. Even if it is an expert who has reached the peak of the golden rank, he may not be able to get rid of the poison. If the old man did not remember correctly, you should have no martial qi in your body? In that case, you don’t have to take risks. The old man is afraid that you will be implicated in the future.”

“General Nalan is right.” The Imperial Physician sighed softly and said, “The most terrible thing about bone-eroding powder is that anyone who wants to force the poisonous gas out of the poisoned person’s body by means of martial qi will not succeed in the end, but will also be poisoned. So, Miss Helian, you must think twice before you act.”

Helian Wei Wei saw these old men were pretty good people. She smiled and said, “Are you General Nalan? Please be at ease, I and your family’s Ye Zi are friends. I will not gamble with your life, let alone do something that is uncertain”.

Old General Nanalan was stunned, but he didn’t know that his granddaughter, who disliked women, would have friends.

“It’s still too risky.” The Imperial Physician was not sure, “By merely listening to the lady’s instructions, it’s really a person who understands medicine.”

The Retired Emperor listened to the noise below while everyone was paying attention to Helian Wei Wei. He raised his eyebrows and questioned the silent youth standing beside him in a low voice.

“Can she really do it?”

Baili Jia Jue did not say a word. His fingers slowly and deliberately twisted around the white strip of cloth in his hand.

The Retired Emperor was helpless against his beloved grandson. He conceded and explained to him, “It’s not that this emperor didn’t believe your chosen princess. She just doesn’t have the martial qi in her body?”

Baili Jia Jue curled his mouth into a smile. The word “princess” sounded so good in his ears.

“Exactly because she doesn’t have a martial in her body. So, the matter of detoxifying the poison, as much as she can accomplish.”

Without martial qi, she would not be affected by bone-eroding powder…
