Yan Ruo asked, "Since you have been poisoned by fire since you were so young, why has there never been any news?" ”

"On the day I was poisoned, my father stopped the news. The fire poison is incurable, or almost incomprehensible, and if my mother knows about it, I am afraid that it will rob me of my qualification to inherit the throne. My father was obsessed with power, how could he have allowed such a thing to happen? ”

In his father's eyes, the biggest significance of his birth in this world is just to compete for favor and consolidate his power for his father.

Therefore, it was obvious that she gave birth to a girl, but her father had to say that it was a boy. Regardless of his own will, he forced him to disguise himself as a man and a woman, and concealed his true identity.

Yan Ruo could hear that when Xu Qingzhu mentioned his father, there was only indifference in his tone except for sneering.

Without him saying more, Yan Ruo knew how incompetent Xu Qingzhu's father was.

She hugged Xu Qingzhu directly, "Forget all the unhappy things!" I will protect you in the future, and I will not let them have any chance to hurt you again. If you want to be an emperor, then I will help you. If you want it, I'll find a way to get it for you. ”

It's really a warm embrace that people can't bear to let go.

And the voice in his ears also carried a care that he had never heard before.

Do you want to protect him?

For a moment, Xu Qingzhu opened his lips and wanted to say that he actually didn't want the throne so much, and if he could be with her, it would be fine.

But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

It is a capital crime for him to disguise himself as a woman, and if he can't get the throne, he won't be able to escape death when his identity is revealed.

Also, the medicine he needed was too hard to find, and he needed to find the medicine he needed with more power.

He wanted to live.

Because only by living, there will be hope for everything, and you can still be with the people you like.

Xu Qingzhu: "Okay, I'll let you protect it." ”

He'd protect her anyway.

The two of them hugged each other tightly, as if there was only each other left in this heaven and earth.

"However, can't the fire poison really be cured?" Yan Ruo was a little worried.

The toxin remains in the body like a time bomb, and if it is not removed in time, it is uncertain when it will explode.

Not to mention that it will affect lifespan, at least if it happens, that feeling will definitely make people crazy.

Xu Qingzhu looked at Yan Ruo's eyes full of worry, and for a while he only felt as if his heart was filled with something.

He put his forehead against Yan Ruo's forehead and said softly, "Don't worry, it's not that serious, there is still a way." ”

Suddenly, Yan Ruo looked at him with some tears and laughter.

The person who was poisoned by fire was obviously him, but why did he coax himself instead?

Yan Ruo was still a little uneasy, "Can the fire poison be cured?" ”

Xu Qingzhu nodded, "I can solve it, Su Mo has already turned to the ancient formula." ”

"Then why hasn't it been solved yet?"

"It's a key medicine."

"What medicine?"

"The blood of the two-tailed snow fox, and the nine-petaled snow lotus of the extremely cold land."

Yan Ruo: ???

The fox in the story may have many tails, but don't the foxes you usually see have only one tail? Where are you going to find these two tails?

And the snow lotus only has the word "lotus" in its name, isn't it because it is the same as an ordinary lotus, and there will be many petals when it is in full bloom?

With only nine petals, can it still be regarded as a snow lotus?

At this moment, Yan Ruo's mind was full of countless questions.

Even she looked at Xu Qingzhu a little strangely, always suspecting that he was joking with herself, or that he was wrong.

And Xu Qingzhu seemed to understand Yan Ruo's doubts, and explained with a chuckle: "The prescription is right, what is missing are these two things." These two things can be recorded in ancient books, and they must still exist, but they are too rare and too troublesome to find. ”

Yan Ruo was relieved that there was a way to detoxify just now, and now his heart was hanging high again.

Whether it is scarce or none, it is not known.

Perhaps, the person who wrote that ancient book just couldn't cure the fire poison, and in order to protect his reputation, he deliberately wrote something that didn't exist at all to deceive future generations.

Yan Ruo felt that she might have discovered the truth.
