After understanding the outcome from Chu Jiyu's group, Nangong Aochen's expression also turned sour.
Although he had anticipated this outcome, he still held a glimmer of hope. After all, the power of the royal family couldn't be underestimated. He didn't expect Bai Li Hongzhuang to be so resolute.
In this situation, he had no way out.
However, the final reminder from Chu Jiyu left him stunned. Stay away from Nangong Aochen?
Could it be that Nangong Aochen's illness was contagious?
When Nangong Aochen heard this news, he found it unbelievable. He had never heard of such a toxin before, and he didn't believe that a poison master could create such a poison.
Otherwise, who would dare to offend a poison master?
Once poisoned, it would lead to the annihilation of a clan.
Chu Jiyu and the others didn't say much about Nangong Aochen's attitude. They had said everything they needed to say, and whether Nangong Aochen believed it or not was his own choice.
In fact, Chu Jiyu and the others were skeptical about this matter as well.
This kind of toxin with such effects was unheard of, but Bai Li Hongzhuang's attitude was serious, and it didn't seem like she was faking it.
If this had been said by someone else, they wouldn't have believed it. However, coming from Bai Li Hongzhuang, it carried a bit more credibility.
Just because it was Bai Li Hongzhuang.
So far, they had witnessed too many unbelievable things from Bai Li Hongzhuang. Her abilities had exceeded their imagination.
Moreover, Bai Li Hongzhuang had no reason to deceive them.
Bai Li Hongzhuang's attitude was resolute. She wanted Nangong Aochen dead.
If that were the only reason, Bai Li Hongzhuang could have used a poison that would kill him instantly, without letting Nangong Aochen struggle for so long.
There were two possibilities for her actions. One was that Bai Li Hongzhuang wanted Nangong Aochen to suffer and die in torment, and the other was what she had mentioned.
Only Nangong Aochen remained poisoned, so others would constantly come into contact with him, increasing the likelihood of them getting infected.
Regardless of which possibility it was, they were horrified by the thought.
Clearly, offending an enemy like Bai Li Hongzhuang was an extremely unwise move.
Bai Jingtian and the others didn't stay long at the inn either. After reminding Bai Li Hongzhuang to rest well, they left.
They would feel relieved as long as they knew Bai Li Hongzhuang's injuries were not serious.
Xia Zhiqing and the others also left. The room was now left with only Bai Li Hongzhuang and Emperor Bei Chen.
Emperor Bei Chen covered Bai Li Hongzhuang with a blanket, his fair and handsome face filled with concern. "With so many people coming to see you, do you feel exhausted?"
Bai Li Hongzhuang smiled lightly and shook her head. "My injuries have improved a lot. Don't treat me like a fragile patient. These things don't affect me."
"I just can't help but worry about you."
A smile appeared on Emperor Bei Chen's lips. His wife was truly strong.
Upon hearing his words, Bai Li Hongzhuang felt a sweet sensation in her heart. It was rare to have such moments with Emperor Bei Chen, and she felt truly happy.
"Have you resolved everything regarding your return to the sect? Did you manage to obtain the Ninth Grade Purple Ginseng?" Bai Li Hongzhuang was very concerned about Emperor Bei Chen's cursed body.
