The System Make Me Near With The Emperor
Chapter 31

Holding the sword in his hand, Xie Hongyi rushed to help Dugu An. Right now inside the hall was only the sound of the clanking of swords clashing against each other.

Dugu An's focus was actually a little distracted by Xie Hongyi's movements. However, he quickly returned to his mind.

Although the assassins were women, they were so skilled in martial arts that Dugu An's group was a little desperate. In that state, Xie Hongyi played some tricks to outwit the opponent. The trick worked and the assassins were paralysed.

"Huh, their skills are very good. I wonder where they learned it." Xie Hongyi sighed. This body really does not have weak stamina so that it makes him tired.

Dugu An slightly glanced at Xie Hongyi, then ordered his subordinates to take care of the unconscious assassins. "Take them to the dungeon."

"Good." Then the assassins were brought by Dugu An's subordinates. Dugu An also said to Xie Hongyi who was making his sword as a stick. "Thank you, Consort Xie, if you hadn't helped, we might be in trouble."

Xie Hongyi replied casually. "Small help only. We better see the state of the poisoned."

"Consort Xie go alone. There's something I have to take care of right now." After saying those words, Dugu An disappeared.

Upon realizing that she was left alone, Xie Hongyi decided to leave. As his feet stepped, he saw three people running towards him. "Mrs, where have you been? We're worried you're missing." Yi'er said anxiously, but upon seeing that his Lady was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"I'm okay.Oh, where are the people who were poisoned?"

It was Ling'er who answered Xie Hongyi's question. "They're being examined at the imperial medical office."

"Then we go there."

"Good Mistress." The three walked after Xie Hongyi.

Halfway through, Xie Hongyi suddenly stopped. He then turned around and asked with a serious face. "Where's the medical office?"

Madam, who was excited about going first?

The imperial medical office.

One by one the poisoned were examined by the healers. The faces of the patients and doctors were not very good.

"Tabib, why does my stomach hurt so much?" Asked one of the young masters of the Hu family.

The doctor replied in a weak tone. "Master was poisoned by Xin's poison. We can only give you medicine to relieve the pain." The Young Master's face was pale when he heard the healer speak. "Do you not have an antidote?"

The doctor shook his head.

After examining the food and drink served for the meeting, they found that the poison came from an alcoholic drink. Then one of the healers who understood about the poison said that the poison was Xin poison, one of the poisons from Southern Xinjiang.

Xin's poison is one of the deadly poisons. The ingredients to make the antidote are easy to find. But, it was still autumn and the most important medicinal ingredients only grew when it was midwinter. If they waited for the time of the season, then Xin's poison would first melt their intestines.

How the poison works when entering the body will damage the lining of the stomach and intestines. When the poison is in a long time in the body, corrosive poison will damage the internal organs so that the organs no longer function.

The moment Xie Hongyi arrived at the imperial medical office, his ears heard many moans. Then he entered, and saw the poisoned people lying on a cot while being examined. This atmosphere reminded Xie Hongyi of the past when he was still a military doctor. At that time, while fighting to defend the border area, the soldiers were wounded and taken to a medical tent. At that moment, Xie Hongyi fully held the responsibility of treating them. The atmosphere was more or less like the current one, the patients who were moaning in pain and the doctors who were busy treating.

Xie Hongyi then walked towards the healer who was taking note of something in his hand. He then asked. "How are they doing? Are they gonna be okay?"

The head healer complained as he heard Xie Hongyi speak. He then explained the situation. Xie Hongyi's forehead frowned slightly after he finished hearing the explanation. "How long will they last?"

"Maybe about five days."

"So short?" Xie Hongyi was surprised by that sentence.

Xie Hongyi's hand held his own chin. This gesture hinted that the girl was thinking of something. Those medicinal ingredients were indeed non-existent for now, but didn't he have a system that had everything? Xie Hongyi smiled brightly. "System, is there a cure for this poison?"

Then the system answers it. [There was. But this item requires a lot of points. Are you sure you want to trade it?"

"How many points do you need?"

[300 Points for 100 antidote pills]

Xie Hongyi's face was distorted. He then tried to bargain. "Aren't you going to give me a discount?"

[There are the same types of pills, they cost 100 points for 100 pills]

Feeling pleased, Xie Hongyi quickly said to the system. "Then exchange it quickly!"

[But this antidote pill is of low quality, are you sure you will still trade it?]

Low quality antidote pills? Xie Hongyi thought that it was the same. Like Paracetamol and ibuprofen that works to cure headaches, right? "EXCHANGE!"

Then a bag appeared on his palm. Xie Hongyi opened the bag. There are some red pills inside. Lowering his head slightly, Xie Hongyi smelled the pill and said inwardly. 'Well, not bad.'

Meanwhile, the healer that Xie Hongyi spoke to was a little confused. He did not understand why Xie Hongyi suddenly turned around and spoke to himself. Just as she was about to ask, Xie Hongyi turned back and handed a pouch to her. "Check if it's the antidote to the poison."

The doctor was clearly shocked. He then quickly checked what was inside the bag. The scent of the pill was indeed similar to the antidote to Xin's poison, but he was unwilling to act rashly by directly giving it to the patient. "This, I have to check with the senior."

Xie Hongyi waved his hand. "Go." The doctor left quickly.

Xie Hongyi then sat down on a chair. Shortly after, the healer returned with an old man with a beard. "Where did you get this?" The old man asked while investigating Xie Hongyi.

"I come from the Xie family, and the antidote was made last year by my uncle. He wanted me to be on guard so he gave it to me." Xie Hongyi explained.

The old man was still unsure. "I didn't know if it would be effective or not. We can't just give drugs."

"We won't know before we try." Xie Hongyi said patiently. Dealing with seniors requires more patience

"Are you patronizing me? You want the patient to die from the wrong drug huh!?"

Xie Hongyi's face still remained relaxed. "You can't see them in pain? Are you going to let them continue like this until winter? There's no way you're gonna take the blame for the poor handling that caused the patient to die?"

"You!" The man glared furiously.

Their discussions became the center of attention of the people. All eyes were on the two people arguing. At this moment, a cold voice with a dictatorial tone sounded.

"Let Zhen try the cure."

Xie Hongyi and the senior healer turned towards the source of the voice. In that direction was seen Huang Long who was still pale walking while supported by eunuchs.

The doctor tried to prevent. "Your Majesty, we don't know if the drug will work or not, preferably..."

His words were not finished as Huang Long looked at him coldly. The physician then dared not speak again. The eunuch who was standing beside Huang Long snatched the pill pouch from the senior healer then handed it to Huang Long.

Without hesitation, Huang directly swallowed the pill. Everyone is worried about what happens after that. The South Emperor did not show much expression, making it difficult for people to guess his reaction.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
