In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me! Chapter 254: Poison in the Medicine

Yue Mingxuan shrugged.

"I only said I wouldn’t fight back, I never said I wouldn’t play dirty." He nudged one of the fallen n with his foot and instructed Moonless Cicada, "Help tie them up and take them to the Midnight Blades ."

With that, he turned around and headed out.

The yin energy here was too heavy; he couldn’t stay long or it would take a toll on him.

"Hey! I charge fees!" Moonless Cicada called after him.

"Put it on my tab," Yue Mingxuan replied without looking back.

At the Midnight Blades headquarters, Tang Lubao sat in the seat of honor, while beside him Yue Mingxuan dozed and on the verge of sleep.

After only a few glances, he had decided to leave the matter to Tang Lubao.

Propping his chin on his hand, his eyes kept drifting shut.

How could he possibly go out without carrying poison?

He wasn’t foolish enough to stand there and let people tear him apart.

Naturally, he had his own clever ans of self-defense.

It was just that Moonless Cicada had no idea what he had been thinking.

...

After interrogating through the night until dawn, Tang Lubao finally paused.

Yue Mingxuan glanced at the sky and said, "Brother Lu, I’ll head back first. If they discover I’m not there, trouble in the palace will only multiply."

"Alright. Be careful. I suspect there may be others," Tang Lubao said, offering a few simple reminders.

Yue Mingxuan naturally understood.

He then stood up and thought that whatever ca, he would et it head-on. He had nothing to fear.

When he returned, the mont he pushed open the door, he was startled by the people inside.

What was going on? Had they decided to hold a tea gathering in his room without telling him?

Several people were sitting there quite plainly.

Gu Xiang, of course.

Gongsun Xing and Wang Jian were also present.

But could soone please explain why that damned Shang Qinghua was here too?!

"Uh... good morning..." Yue Mingxuan raised a hand awkwardly in greeting.

The people in the room were all remarkably composed.

Gongsun Xing and Wang Jian responded lightly.

Gu Xiang naturally ignored him.

As for Shang Qinghua, he snapped his folding fan shut and said, "You’re up quite early. Where has Prince Yue been this morning?"

Yue Mingxuan instinctively glanced at Gongsun Xing.

Gongsun Xing lifted his teacup to cover his lips and silently mouthed words.

Shang Qinghua had been outside last night?

Damn, then why was he asking wherehe had gone this morning!

Yue Mingxuan plopped down carelessly into a chair.

He felt exhausted; today he certainly wasn’t going anywhere.

After a yawn, he said, "Nothing much. I went out for a jog, it’s good for the body and mind. If Prince Shang is interested, you should try it too. It’s good for your health."

Gongsun Xing and Wang Jian left first.

Gongsun Xing had been worried sothing might happen here.

By the ti word ca, it had already been late, so he had rested here to wait.

When Wang Jian saw that he still hadn’t returned by evening, he grew uneasy and ca looking for him, so he staying here as well.

This Shang Qinghua, however, was soone worth paying close attention to.

As Gongsun Xing left, he quietly told Yue Mingxuan this while closing the door.

Yue Mingxuan gave a wry smile and nodded in agreent.

"Go on then, what exactly were you doing?" Shang Qinghua looked at Yue Mingxuan with a smiling face that carried a clear ssage: if you don’t tell , I won’t let it go.

Sotis Yue Mingxuan truly could not understand him.

Why did Shang Qinghua always want to know everything about him?

Since when did he have to report his comings and goings?

Wasn’t being watched by Beirong enough, did he need another pair of eyes as well?

"It wasn’t anything major. Soone tried to kill . However, It’s settled now."

Shang Qinghua stood up and walked over to Yue Mingxuan’s side.

He took a breath and leaned in to feel Yue Mingxuan’s forehead.

"Do you have a fever? Why didn’t you say anything?"

A fever? Even he hadn’t realized it himself.

Yue Mingxuan reached up to touch his forehead—sure enough, it felt hot.

No wonder his head hurt and he felt so dizzy.

He waved a hand dismissively. "It’s nothing. It’s just a fever. I’m a doctor myself, once I take so dicine, I’ll be fine. Prince Shang, do you have anything else? If not, please head back. I’m exhausted."

Shang Qinghua looked at him deeply for a long mont, told him to rest well, and then left.

After closing the door, listening to the sounds of Yue Mingxuan fumbling his way to bed, Shang Qinghua couldn’t help thinking that the yin aura clinging to Yue Mingxuan was heavy.

It was obvious he had gone sowhere unclean and hadn’t taken any precautions.

Sui He happened to arrive just then while carrying tea and such.

That morning, when she had pushed open the prince’s door, she found many people inside but the prince himself missing, which had frightened her badly.

Only after Miracle Doctor Gongsun explained did she learn that her master had gone out early to handle matters and that they were waiting here, so she went to prepare tea and refreshnts.

"Your prince has a bit of a fever. Let him rest properly today. Turn away anyone who cos. If necessary, send soone to fetch and go to the Imperial dical Bureau shortly to get dicine."

"Yes, I understand," she replied.

The prince had a fever?

Sui He went to fetch dicine from the Imperial dical Bureau.

After returning, she decocted it and cooled it to a warm temperature before gently waking Yue Mingxuan. "Your Highness, drink the dicine first, then you can go back to sleep."

Still groggy, Yue Mingxuan kept his eyes closed as he drank.

One swallow, then another, suddenly he sensed sothing wrong.

There was an extra ingredient inside: Blue Sky Leaf.
