ch means that Xiluo was most likely severely wounded there.Mo Yunjing stared at Xunluo in silence for a moment, then suddenly turned and went out. "Yunliu stay, Eleventh follow."Yunliu and Shiyi looke...If someone else were in this situation, being pointed at with a sword like this by Chi'er, they would have long since been filled with fear and even begging for mercy.

But Ming Deng was remarkably calm at this moment. His emotionless eyes gazed at Zhi'er, and he spoke in a very composed tone, "What happened"

Zi'er's gloomy eyes fixed on him, her voice icy cold. "Give me the antidote."

Her tone was devoid of emotion.

“......”

The beacon in that moment truly showed a bewildered expression, his brow furrowing slightly, "What antidote"

But Chi'er at this time only felt that Ming Deng was putting on a show, unwilling to admit it.

Besides the lamplighter, she couldn't think of anyone who would dare poison the man she had been longing for.

The entire Xiyu Evil Clan, except for her, would all listen to Ming Deng. During her disappearance, Ming Deng managed everything in the clan.

Including the people he trained, if faced with a choice, they would probably only obey Ming Deng.

So in this poison affair, the only one she could suspect was Ming Deng.

Moreover, Ming Deng had personally witnessed how servile she was in front of that man. Many years ago, if it hadn't been for her stopping him, Ming Deng would have already killed him.

So she still thought the chances of it being poisoning under a bright lamp were greater.

"Lantern, I don't want to fight you. Give me the antidote."

"... "

Ming Deng's brows were furrowed, but he wasn't stupid. Before Zhi'er left, he knew she was going to the palace to see that man.

And in this world, there aren't many people who could make her lose control of her emotions. It seems that the man was poisoned, or perhaps it was a poison unique to their Western Regions evil clan.

And Chi'er obviously mistook him for poisoning that man.

Thinking of this, Ming Deng suddenly let out a wry smile. “I did once want to poison him so badly, hoping you’d be finally free from all pain. But that time almost led us to a complete rupture, to open warfare.”

"And I swear to you, in front of your very eyes, that I will never set foot inside that palace for the rest of my life. I will not lend him a hand nor move a single hair on his head."

This was a promise he had once made to her, and he would never go back on his word.

At this moment, Zhi'er's eyes still held disbelief. He gave a self-deprecating smile and said with a hint of helplessness, "Back then, in order to protect you, we already had people placed around the emperor."

"If I truly wanted to break my oath, if I truly wanted to harm him, I had plenty of opportunities during the time you disappeared. Why wait until now"

As expected, after Ming Deng spoke those words, Zhi'er also thought of this point and gradually calmed down.

After a moment of silence, she stiffly retrieved the sword from Ming Deng's neck, "I apologize."

Ming Deng understood her better than anyone. He knew how difficult it was for her to apologize, and he didn't mind shaking his head now, "It's alright."

He glanced at the nervously fidgeting subordinates by the door and waved them away.

Just now, Zhi'er arrived with great force and immediately entered the house in a state of high alert. The guards stationed in the courtyard thought something serious had happened and drew their swords one after another.

They wanted to rush in, but were stopped by a look from Ming Deng.

Two masters were in conflict, and they didn't know who to help, so they could only watch nervously outside the door.

Seeing that the two had made things clear, they both quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Having received the signal from Ming Deng, they nodded and closed the door before leaving.

After everyone had left, Ming Deng walked to the table and lit an oil lamp. He then poured a glass of water for Zhi'er, "Drink some water first and sit down and tell me slowly."

Zhi'er, having calmed down, no longer held the same hostility. She sat down and took a cup from Ming Deng's hand, taking a sip.

In the palace, she was useless and shed tears, then rushed back in such a hurry. She really needed some water to calm down.

The Ming Deng sat across from her, waiting for her to put down her cup before speaking, "Tell me slowly, what happened"

Zhier frowned, "He was poisoned. We're the ones who made the poison."

Ming Deng understood. That was indeed the case.

He was silent for a moment. "I can guarantee that without your order, no one in the clan would dare to lay a hand on him, let alone poison him."

"I personally felt his pulse, he's been poisoned alright, it's the Wisteria Illusion Toxin."

Wisteria is a plant found in the cold and clear lake, Han Bitan, in the Xiwu region. Currently, Han Bitan is controlled by the Xiyu Xie clan.

And the recipe for the Zijin Illusionary Poison is only in her and Ming Deng's hands, so besides themselves, she really couldn't think of anyone else who could concoct it.

This is also why she almost immediately suspected Ming Deng after confirming what poison the man had been given.

When the lantern knew what poison the emperor had been given, it also understood Zhi'er's reaction.

It's just that the poisoning of the emperor was not his doing.

Over the years, he didn't want to have anything to do with the Dog Emperor. He didn't care if the Dog Emperor lived or died.

After Zhizhi assured the dog emperor that he wouldn't attack him, he didn't even ask about the situation there.

Even if he had informants near the emperor, he hadn't contacted them since Chier disappeared to inquire about palace affairs.

And the palace's eyes did not contact him until they found no leads about Zhier.

So to speak, he had truly lost touch with what was happening in the emperor's court.

Right now, he couldn't figure out who poisoned the dog emperor.

After listening to Zhi'er's explanation, Ming Deng pursed her lips and pondered for a moment before saying, "I will find out later who bought poison from our people during this period."

"As you know, to ensure the clan has sufficient wealth, we engage in black market transactions at regular intervals. Our only marketable assets are various poisons, including the Violet Willow Phantom Poison."

Therefore, it is not necessarily that only those from the Western Regions' Evil Clan would have access to Zijian Illusionary Poison. Those who spent a lot of money to buy Zijian Illusionary Poison also possess this poison.

So it wasn't actually their own people who poisoned the puppet emperor.

No matter what, with her death order in place, who would dare to lay a finger on the emperor

Now that she'd calmed down, Zhi'er also thought of this. She nodded slightly, "Hmm."

Although Ming Deng didn't want to say it, seeing Zhi Er's devastating appearance when she returned just now, he hesitated for a moment before reminding her, "The Zi Teng Huan poison is colorless and odorless, and it cannot be detected even with silver needles. Moreover, it takes multiple small doses administered over time to be successful."

The toxins in his body now can be detected by you, which means he has been poisoned for a certain amount of time. Therefore, the poisoner should be someone he trusts.

This emperor-like dog is so cautious that it's difficult for ordinary people to poison him unless trusted individuals provide his food.d change it.Right now, I feel like my head is on fire.
