Before Mr. Zong finishes shouting, Weichu comes out. With a glare at Mr. Zong, he says angrily, "The toxin in our Lord's body is about to break out. How come that you are so happy?"

Learning that the toxin in Jun Qianye's body is about to break out, Mr. Zong immediately stops smiling, pushes Nangong Ning to Weichu, and says, "You see, here is Miss Nangong."

Weichu couldn't believe his eyes: This … is … Nangong Ning?

Satisfied with the shocked expression on Weichu's face, Mr. Zong takes Nangong Ning into the house.

"How are you feeling now, my Lord?" asks Mr. Zong as soon as he enters the room. Then, he pushes Nangong Ning to Jun Qianye, saying, "Look, my Lord!"

Nangong Ning does not say anything, wondering why this fat old man seems to market her anyway.

She gives a glare at Mr. Zong, then turns her eyes to Jun Qianye, who is half lying on a long couch with some slight blueness on his handsome face. Although he is not in good health, Jun Qianye's handsomeface has a deep impression on her.

Her heart cannot help pounding faster, and her cheeks become hot with blush.

She secretly blames herself as being boy crazy without moral integrity, and hurriedly adjusts her thought.

Fixing his eyes on her for quite a long time motionlessly, showing nothing different, Jun Qianye says to Nangong Ning calmly, "Now that you have had a good rest, let's start the toxin-transferring work."

Mr. Zong is disappointed to hear that. The Lord does act like the Lord, without any reaction to a beauty. It is indeed that for years so many beauties come to show their love to the Lord, but he has no reaction at all to any of them.

Nangong Ning is indeed a gorgeous beauty, but she is too young to be mature enough to charm the Lord.

Then Mr. Zong looks at Nangong Ning with an expression as if to say: I have confidence in you, girl! You have to try hard!

Nangong Ning gives a strange look at Mr. Zong. This old man looks at her as if he is … raising a piglet, treating her as a carefree girl?

"Miss Nangong, there is still a toxin in the Lord's body, which is complicated, for it is a three-in-one toxin, i.e. three kinds of toxins integrated together. But you may rest a.s.sured, I will detoxify your toxin by degrees after you transfer the toxin of the Lord into your body. It is troublesome, but your toxin will be detoxified at last," says Mr. Zong.

What he says makes Nangong Ning sick.

  If you can detoxify the toxin, why don't you do it for your Lord but make me transfer it into my body? So, it is certain that he is unable to do it. Nangong Ning wonders in her heart.

She clenches her teeth secretly. Though she is unhappy, she knows very well that she has to do it, for she is not able to escape, nor is she strong enough to beat them. As the saying goes, "You have to be humble when you're trapped in an inferior situation."

 "Ok."

  It is a little unexpected for both Jun Qianye and Mr. Zong to hear that she is so ready to say OK.

Nangong Ning does not bother to notice their reaction to her answer. Stretching her hand, she takes the grasp of Jun Qianye's wrist, about to do the toxin-transferring work.

With a glimpse at her, Jun Qianye pulls Nangong Ning with a force toward himself with a backhand grasp.

 "What are you doing?" Nangong Ning is astonished, falling involuntarily towards him and sits down beside him in an inelegant manner.

Jun Qianye says, "It is convenient to sit closer when you are doing the toxin-transferring work."

Nangong Ning takes a deep breath secretly to calm herself down, sitting beside him without further resistance. Taking grasp of his wrist, she says, "Ready? I'll begin."

Then she closes her eyes.

Mr. Zong fixes his eyes on her phoenix bracelet, trying in vain to see how the phoenix bracelet transfers the toxin.

It takes not long before Nangong Ning opens her eyes, saying, "Done!"

Fetching out his acupuncture needles, Mr. Zong says to Nangong Ning hurriedly, "Let me suppress the toxin for you, Miss Nangong."

Nangong Ning takes a light breath, feeling the running of the toxin in her body. She nods her head, and then closes her eyes, trying to make a quick detection of the toxin with her phoenix bracelet, and calculate in her mind fast to determine her detoxifying prescription.

"Paris polyphylla, Serissa j.a.ponica (Thunb.) Thunb., Solanum nigrum L.,and red-lined scorpion venomas the medicine inducer, …" says Nangong Ning.

Nangong Ning gives a string of Chinese medical herb names before Mr. Zong finishes his acupuncture. As a doctor, he knows very well that the first three herbs are good in detoxification, but the last one is extremely poisoning. They are easy to obtain, but if put together, they are too hypertoxic. Is it for the use of detoxification?

Nangong Ning opens her eyes, saying in a faint voice, "Fat old man, have these herbs ready as soon as possible. I'll take these herbs in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, the toxin will be aggravated and it will become too complicated to be solved.

On hearing that, Mr. Zong wastes no time to go out personally to have the herbs and scorpion venom ready without asking more.

"I have never heard that the daughter of the Nangong family knows how to detoxify toxins," says Jun Qianye.

Nangong Ning is focusing on the acupuncture needle in her wrist skin, feeling gradually how serious the toxin in her body is, when she hears Jun Qianye's cold voice.

Nangong Ning freezes, then turns her eyes to Jun Qianye with a burning smile on her little face, saying, "Regent, maybe you has had no idea at all that I exist in this world."

The present Nangong Ning has inherited the memory of the Nangong Ning in the virtual dynasty and according to her memory, the Regent is never close to any woman in his life. Therefore, Nangong Ning must be invisible in his eyes.

"Clever girl," says Jun Qianye, not knowing himself whether it is a praise or an irony. But Nangong Ning takes it as a praise, and says, "Thanks a lot, Regent!"

With his dark eyes sinking, Jun Qianye is about to stretch his hand, when a voice of Weichu comes from outside.

  "My Lord, a messenger comes from the Palace with an imperial edict for you!"
