After taking the antidote, and another half an incense stick's time had passed, Murong Jiu finally felt some improvement.
Her head gradually stopped hurting as much, but her body felt as if it had been drained of strength, leaving her with little energy.
Jun Yuyan held her in his arms while Divine Doctor Zhai took her pulse.
"The pulse is gradually returning to normal," he said.
But his expression remained grave.
The Thin Line Heaven poison within Murong Jiu was clearly stronger than the one known, and after purposely angering Consort Qin, the onset of the poison had come early.
Without any surprises, Consort Qin would invite her to the palace again tomorrow to issue a warning.
This also indicated that Consort Qin had eyes and ears everywhere, even among those close to the Emperor.
Of those present yesterday, the only ones under suspicion were the six Imperial Bodyguards.
They were the Emperor's most trusted confidants, and one of them must have been bought off.
