"Does it have to be like this?"

It was dark in the box, but it wasn't completely invisible, and Su Mo stood there, staring at Wu Wu quietly.

In the dark, he couldn't see her expression clearly, faintly, a little blurry.

However, her emotions were clearly expressed, making it difficult for him to ignore them.

She must have been angry that he had repeatedly refused.

However, for the sake of everyone, he had no other choice.

"Zheng Piantong, I won't hand it over anyway. Su Mo restrained his emotions and said categorically.

Wuxian was silent for a moment.

"May I ask you a question?"

You ask. ”

"Do you like her?"

"......" Su Mo did not answer.

"If you don't admit it, you shouldn't like it enough. Wuxian looked deeply into his eyes, "Since you don't like it, why don't you let her go? Why don't you tell her the truth?

She admitted that she didn't like Zheng Piantong very much, this eldest princess was too willful, so willful that she didn't care about human life.

However, putting aside her personal impression, what Su Mo did to this eldest princess was too cruel.

Zheng Piantong liked Su Mo very much, otherwise he would not have left Nanxuan's people alone for him, escaped from the orc clan, and left with him.

But Su Mo has been using her from beginning to end, and he has paid a little sincerity, I'm afraid only he knows.

"It's too cruel for you to treat her like this. ”

Su Mo raised his thin eyelids and looked at her, "Not everyone can make me break my principles again and again. ”

Not everyone is like her, who can repeatedly challenge his bottom line.

"So, I'm not going to hand her over anyway, am I?" said Wuxian's voice suddenly cold.

Su Mo didn't speak, stared at her for a long time, and found that he couldn't communicate with her, picked up the wine jug, raised his head and took a sip, the corners of his eyes revealing deep distress.

Wu Wu watched his movements, and a wave of anger suddenly appeared in his heart.

Will escaping like this solve the problem?

"I won't give up, if you don't say it, I can wait, until you change your mind. Until then, I won't leave you half a step. ”

……

"Shall we take a step back from each other?" Su Mo was unwilling to go toe-for-tat with her like this, and in the end he was defeated and lost to her persistence.

"Then tell me, how else can I get back?"

"Let me ask you a question first, why did you sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion that day?"

Without that night, he and her would not have had the next intersection.

Wuxian paused for a moment, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he decided to tell the truth, "Find an antidote for Zheng Rin." Since she said that she would take a step back, she really needed to show the sincerity she deserved.

The news of Zheng Rin's disfigurement was forbidden to spread, mainly to avoid panic, and also to blind the sight of the poisoner.

She told Su Mo that there would be no conflict with these two points.

"If his face is not cured, I'm afraid it will be ruined forever......" Su Mo sighed with emotion, attracting a dissatisfied look, and then changed his words, "Give you two choices, as long as you don't insist on bringing Zheng Piantong back, I will help you heal Zheng Rin's face." ”

Su Mo sat back casually, leaving Wu Wu plenty of time to think.

Wuwu thought quietly.

Zheng Rin ruined not only his appearance, but also his physical functions. The toxin would invade his bloodstream like maggots on the tarsal bones, eating away at his body little by little.

She temporarily suppressed the spread of the toxins, but there was no way to completely remove them for him.

I have found an antidote, but I am at a loss, and I have no clue.

"Do you have an antidote?" she stared straight into Su Mo's eyes.

"Have you made your choice?" Su Mo also stared at her.

"I give up Zheng Piantong. Wu Wu hooked the corners of his lips casually.

Zheng Rin and Zheng Piantong, asking her who to choose, isn't this an obvious question?

One is the Rin Yuan Emperor of Nanxuan, and the other is just the eldest princess in vain.

Whoever is more valuable, she chooses.

This multiple-choice question can be made in less than two seconds.

Next question.

"I don't have the antidote," Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Wuxian finally stopped stubbornly insisting on her opinion, afraid that she would regret it, so she hurriedly continued, "But I have a prescription for the antidote, whether you can find the medicine or not depends on your own ability." ”

Wuxian raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile in his eyes, "The abacus is good." ”

It only took one prescription to send her away, and the herbs on this prescription may not be found.

As long as there is a medicinal herb that cannot be gathered, the antidote cannot be refined, what is the difference between this and not giving her the antidote?

There was a trace of shame in Su Mo's eyes, which was fleeting.

He knew very well that the reason why he dared to give her this prescription privately was that he had calculated it accurately, and no matter how they looked for it, it was impossible to find all the raw materials in this prescription.

In this way, the prescription is basically useless.

Not only could not save Zheng Rin, but also prevented Wuxian from bringing back Zheng Piantong, which was very cost-effective for him.

For Wuxian, it's unfair, it's tantamount to cheating her once.

But between them, their positions have always been different.

He has his own things that he has to insist on, so it is impossible to blindly let her and give up his principles for her.

"Well, give me the antidote. Wu Wu calmly stretched out his hand.

It's better than nothing.

A little clue is better than no clue.

Besides, it is still unknown whether all the raw materials on the prescription can be found.

It's not fun to say that the ending is dead.

For Wuxian to compromise in such a quick time, Su Mo was still a little surprised.

He thought she would protest with him when she understood.

However, the treatment of innocence should never be inferred by common sense.

……

Wuxian took the prescription, left a sentence of "do it yourself", and left without looking back.

Since she can't bring Zheng Piantong back, there is no need for her to continue to stay here and deal with him.

Su Mo didn't stay, let her leave, watched the thin figure open the door of the box, turned around and disappeared from his field of vision.

In the darkness, only he was left, as if he was the only one in this space, and there had never been a second person.

In addition, in the slowly flowing air, there is still a faint fragrance, which seems to be the only way to prove that Wuwu has really come.

Su Mo raised his head, drank all the wine in the wine jug, and then threw the wine jug out hard, slamming it against the wall.

The flask left a deep mark on the wall, and then it was sacrificed heroically and shattered to the ground.

The moment Su Mo threw away the wine jug, he was like an arrogant and stubborn wolf, his eyes were crazy and desperate.

……

Wuxian took the prescription and went straight to the palace, and Zheng Rin was waiting for her in the imperial study.

"Sorry I didn't bring your sister back. Wuxian was a little afraid to face Zheng Rin's expectant eyes.

swore that he would bring his sister back, but as a result, he overestimated himself and failed to do it.

"It's okay, I know you've done your best, Tongtong's matter, I'll think of another way. ”

"Still, the results weren't the worst. Wu Xian smiled and took out the prescription from his sleeve and gave it to him, "This is the antidote formula we have been looking for, but I didn't expect to find it by mistake this time." ”

When she took the prescription from Su Mo's hand, she hadn't had time to read it carefully.

At that time, the environment was so dark, if she recognized all the medicinal materials on the prescription in front of him, there would be a ghost.

Secrets related to herself can't be known to too many people.

When Zheng Rin opened the prescription, Wuxian leaned over to take a look, and after browsing it, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Most of the medicinal materials on it are too obscure, and even she claims to be well-read, there are several people she doesn't know, and some of them are even unheard of, and she almost doubts the existence of this medicine in the world.

Zheng Rin's face was okay, and he didn't show too much surprise at this result.

How could the antidote formula that people took the initiative to send them get their hands on easily?

"Is the prescription real?" "It's one thing to be able to get all the raw materials, but before that, you have to make sure that the prescription is authentic.

If it's a fake prescription, there's no need to continue.

Despite being suspicious, Wu Xi glanced at Zheng Rin with appreciation.

This guy is growing up at a good rate, and he knows how much he has a heart.

It's always right to be cautious.

"It's true. At this point, she believed Su Mo.

dared to fool her with a fake, she didn't mind killing her again, and fished out Zheng Piantong by the way.

But for now, let's fix Zheng Rin's appearance first.

In her opinion, Zheng Rin's face is much more expensive than Zheng Piantong's life.

……

Zheng Rin immediately summoned a group of top doctors in the Tai Hospital, and asked them to analyze this prescription with Wu Xian to see if they could find out all the medicinal materials with everyone's strength.

Before he started, Wu Wu made ten one-time contracts with magical effects, and asked the ten imperial doctors who were invited to write their names on the contracts.

As soon as the name is signed, the contract takes effect immediately.

From the time the ten imperial doctors got the prescription until the antidote was made, not a single word about this action of refining the antidote was allowed to be revealed to the public, including the companions of the Tai Hospital.

If anyone leaks a word, the contract will immediately impose the most severe sanctions on him.

Wuxian did this to protect Zheng Rin's safety, not wanting his enemies to hear the wind so soon.

At the same time, it can be regarded as extending Su Mo for a period of time.

She believed that he must have taken the risk of telling her the formula of the antidote for the sake of her face, and did not get Su Hou's permission.

If Su Hou knew that his son had given her the antidote formula privately, he would definitely be furious, and maybe he would punish him.

She already owes Su Mo a lot, and if she can repay a little favor, just pay it back.

The doctors all signed the contract without complaint.

Corresponding to this is the rich reward that it brings to them.

But if you can find more than two kinds of medicinal materials, the monthly salary will be doubled, and one more will be doubled, there is no upper limit, and if you find the most types of medicinal materials, you will always have a chance to be added to the rank and enter the knighthood.

During this time, the ten imperial physicians could enter and leave any part of the palace without being hindered.

……

The imperial physicians copied a recipe for the antidote by hand, and after confirming that it was correct, everyone withdrew from the imperial study and went around for the medicine.

After saying hello to Zheng Rin, Wuxian did not delay, left the imperial study, and went straight to the royal library as soon as possible.

The Royal Library is the place with the richest collection of books in the entire Nanxuan Continent, and as long as it is a real book, whether it is written by an official or secretly recorded in the name of an individual, the original version can be found here.

So Wuxian thought of this place first.

Her father, the medical immortal Anwar, actually has his own independent library, which contains a lot of medical skills.

And those books, Wu Wu has read them many times in his spare time, and he has long been familiar with them.

It can be said that regardless of medical skills, just in terms of medical knowledge, there is basically no one in the Nanxuan Continent today who can compare with her.

However, in her existing knowledge reserve, there was very little information about these medicinal materials.

It was as if the knowledge she had mastered and the medicinal materials involved in this antidote formula were not the same at all.

I don't have enough knowledge, so I can only absorb and fill in new knowledge.

With Zheng Rin's hand, the Praetorian guards guarding the Royal Library did not have the authority to stop her, so they let her go smoothly.

She groped for the medical bookshelf, looked for a book she had never read, found one, and sat down in place with the book in her hand, and looked at the book seriously, ignoring the surprised gazes around her.

The royal library is for members of the royal family, and most of the people who enter and leave it are royal relatives and nobles.

When they saw the dead sitting on the ground, they were all stunned.

Look at her clothes are a little plain, but her appearance and temperament are too good to say, unlike those young ladies of the family who abide by the stereotypes and sit on the ground casually, but they are chic and have a unique charm.

Everyone regarded her as the unruly county lord of the princely family, and there were a few young sons who couldn't hold back, and they wanted to talk to her, but they were gorgeously ignored and treated as air.

Wuxian is like this, when reading a book, he is so engrossed in the content of the book that he has no idea what is going on outside.

Someone was stimulated by her ignorance, and felt that she was very shameless, and raised her fist to teach her a lesson, and the next second, a Praetorian Guard appeared from an unknown corner and coaxed out all the people who attempted to make trouble.

It wasn't until the number of blasts out that everyone gradually realized that this girl was not easy to mess with, and the background was far more unfathomable than they imagined, so no one dared to provoke her anymore.

And these little turmoil, Wuxian is completely unaware of it, and her mind is full of all kinds of medicinal herbs flying.

It's just that she doesn't have what she wants.

……

The hard work paid off, and after two days of soaking in the royal library, she finally found out four medicinal materials, which is not the most compared to the ten imperial doctors, but it is definitely a lot.

After everyone's unremitting efforts, we finally got together twelve kinds of medicinal materials, but the last and most critical one was not found.
