Xiao Chengqi raised an eyebrow, his gaze lingering on the two of them for a moment. He pretended not to notice the cool gaze fixed on his wrist.
The area fell silent as countless pairs of eyes fixed on Ye Chutang.
After a moment, Ye Chutang withdrew her hand.
"Your Highness has indeed been afflicted by a potent poison. And if I'm not mistaken, it is the Piercing Mountain Child, a poison unique to the Nanhu."
Emperor Muwu's eyes lit up. "You truly recognize it?"
Ye Chutang nodded lightly. "I have heard it mentioned before. This poison is extracted from the Five Plum Mountain Snake, which is how it got the name Piercing Mountain Child. It is extremely toxic. A light dose will severely deplete one's vitality, while a heavy dose is fatal."
Consort Ru said quickly, "Since Miss Ye recognizes this rare poison, surely you must have a way to cure it?"
