Liu Shengsheng's stomach kept growling, so she had no energy to pay attention to anything else. She just quietly followed behind Nan Muze.

Soon, they arrived outside the dormitory of Marquis.

The courtyard was already crowded with people. When they saw Nan Muze, everyone knelt down and saluted him.

Mr. Mo and a group of imperial physicians had already arrived early and were currently busy inside.

Mu Hong kept talking around Nan Muze, and the people in the courtyard reported to Nan Muze one after another.

No one noticed that Liu Shengsheng quietly walked to the side of the stone table and picked up a pastry to put in her mouth...

It was so comfortable!

When the door opened, Mr. Mo came out with sweat all over his head.

"Mr. Mo, how is my father?"

Mu Hong was anxious.

However, Mr. Mo walked to Nan Muze step by step. "Your Highness, I'm incompetent! Marquis is weak. Not only was he stabbed twice today, but the knife was also highly toxic. The wound is curable, but the poison..."

With a sigh, Mr. Mo lowered his head. "Alas, we can only hope the imperial physicians have a solution now."

"Don't we have the Gold Elixir? Can't it detoxify that poison?"

Mu Hong was a little overreacted.

Nan Muze looked pale and did not say anything. Instead, he shifted his gaze to a corner on the side.

In the corner, Liu Shengsheng was still eating and drinking heartily...

He suppressed his anger and walked forward.

"Don't forget what you're here for!"

Liu Shengsheng was shocked. She quickly stopped what she was doing and turned her head quietly...

Nan Muze furrowed his brows tightly and said, "Go in!"

Before Liu Shengsheng could swallow the food in her mouth, she nodded slightly.

Nan Muze said again, "Live together or die together, do you understand?"

“…”

The people around did not hear what Nan Muze said clearly. They only saw him walking toward a maid. After a few words, the maid entered the room.

King Jiu was famous for his arrogance. He wouldn't even take an interest in a noble lady in front of him. Now that he was so close to an unknown maid, everyone couldn't help but wonder who she was...

Mu Hong clenched her fists, and her beautiful eyes were full of jealousy, but she did not show it. She only said, "Brother Ze, there are already maids waiting on us inside. There is no need to arrange for anyone else to go in."

"She's a doctor."

After saying that, Nan Muze followed her in.

Mu Hong was confused. How could a little maidservant know anything about medicine?

No, she had to go in and have a look!

Inside the room.

The three imperial physicians gathered around and whispered to each other. One of them sat by the bed and shook his head gently. When they saw Nan Muze coming in, they bowed respectfully.

"How's it going?"

One of them sighed in response to Nan Muze's inquiry.

"Alas, Marquis' injury is not severe, but the poison has penetrated deeply. The poison in his body is unheard of, and even the use of Gold Elixir can only neutralize seventy percent of it. If the poison is not completely eliminated, he will not be able to hold on for much longer..."

The atmosphere in the room was a little heavy, and everyone looked very sad. Only Liu Shengsheng looked very calm.

Being forced, she wanted to escape quickly after saving the old man's life.

But after feeling the pulse, her face turned pale...

This poison was not the same as the one Nan Muze suffered from before.

In comparison, this poison was even more fierce. It could be said that if it weren't for the skills of those few imperial physicians, the Marquis would have just perished...

What's worse, she did not have the antidote to it yet!

Seeing that Liu Shengsheng didn't react for a long time, Mu Hong rushed up and pulled her away.

"Do it if you can, otherwise leave. Why are you sitting here doing nothing? Do you think this is a place for you to show off?"

Liu Shengsheng glanced at her. From her memory, she knew that this was the daughter of Marquis Zhenbei. She had a crush on King Cang for many years like the original owner, but she was not as crazy as the original owner.

Liu Shengsheng was not angry about Mu Hong's impatience. Her overreaction was understandable as her father was about to die.

Nan Muze seemed to have seen something in her eyes, and his tone became colder.

"Come on, take her away."

"Wait, I can save him."

Liu Shengsheng quickly responded to him. If she was taken away, she might not even be able to survive...

Mu Hong looked disdainful, and the imperial physicians next to her completely ignored her.

Liu Shengsheng didn't care about the disregard of others. She looked at Nan Muze and said, "I know how to detoxify this poison, but I just lack a medicinal catalyst. If I can find..."

"Miss, please stop pretending. Even the Gold Elixir can only partially neutralize the poison. Can your medicine be more powerful than the Gold Elixir?"

Mr. Mo at the door couldn't bear it anymore and walked in to speak up.

Mu Hong also said, "The Gold Elixir is known as the most powerful antidote in the palace. Imperial physicians struggled to search for medicinal herbs and worked hard together for many years, but they only managed to develop ten pills. There is no other elixir more pure and powerful than this in the world. As you are so confident that you can detoxify, do you mean that you are better than all the imperial physicians from the palace?"

"I've never said that I'm more competent than anyone else. I've only said that I am capable of curing the poison."

After listening to Liu Shengsheng's words, Mu Hong sneered and said, 'Stop pretending, okay? If you want to mess around, go do it outside. Don't mess with my father's life!'

"I didn't mess around. I have a rough understanding of the Gold Elixir you mentioned. If it is pure enough, the Marquis would have been fine long ago..."

"What a joke."

One of the imperial physicians couldn't help but mock, "Little girl, you haven't even seen the Gold Elixir, yet you dare to say it's impure. Isn't that too arrogant?"

Mu Hong was both angry and amused, "If you want to perform well in front of Brother Ze, this is not the way. You are clearly looking for death."

Faced with the ridicule of the crowd, Liu Shengsheng couldn't be bothered to explain too much. She just looked at Nan Muze and said, "Your Highness, I need to go out and find a certain herb now. I'll be back when I find it..."

"I think you're going to run away! A lowly servant girl dares to deceive so many people here. Rather than running away in shame, why don't you admit that you're a liar now? Kneel down and apologize to everyone."

Mu Hong was full of hostility.

Liu Shengsheng was indeed irritated by being called a liar again and again.

She looked at Mu Hong and asked, "What if I can really detoxify?"

Mu Hong sneered, "If you can do it, I will give you one hundred thousand taels of gold on the spot. But if you can't, I will take your life right here!"

"Sure."

Liu Shengsheng readily agreed, "If I manage to find the antidote, you must not only give me one hundred thousand taels of gold but also kneel down and apologize to me. How about that?"

Risking her life to bet on 100,000 taels of gold and my apology?

This maidservant must be crazy!

How dare she ask the First Miss of the Marquis' Residence to kneel down to her...

The maid hurriedly approached Mu Hong and said, 'Miss, you are a noble miss, how can you...'

"What is there to be afraid of? Do you really think she can come up with a medicine purer than the Gold Elixir? She's just a scammer trying to attract attention. Do you think I don't know what she's up to?"

“…”

Ignoring Mu Hong, Liu Shengsheng turned around and walked out.

Unexpectedly, Nan Muze followed him out as soon as he left.

"I am with you."

Liu Shengsheng's eyelid twitched. Why?

Was he afraid that she would run away?
