Back in the spacious and luxurious palace, Simaziyun suddenly started coughing in pain. His face gradually turned as pale as paper, and his lips lost their original rosy color, showing a kind of bleak paleness. Chu Chenyuan's expression immediately deepened with worry, urging the doctor to diagnose quickly.
"Your Majesty, the poison in Simaziyun's body is the extremely rare Dark Shadow Exquisite Poison. According to the progression of the poison, I'm afraid he only has three days left to live." The doctor's tone was heavy, and his brows were deeply furrowed.
Chu Chenyuan's heart suddenly felt like it was being cut by a sharp blade, and cold sweat instantly covered his body. He clenched his fists, anger burning in his eyes: "The Dark Shadow Extinction Poison? This poison is extremely rare, usually only available in the black markets on the border. Who dares to poison my palace?"
The doctor avoided answering, his expression becoming even more serious. Chu Chenyuan knew that at this moment, only by finding the antidote could Yun's life be saved. He stood up suddenly and walked outside: "Spread my orders, immediately seal off the palace and find out who poisoned it. At the same time, have people and horses search day and night for the antidote."
Chu Chenyuan felt like his heart was being cut by a knife, his trembling fingers clenched into fists. The flames in his eyes seemed to want to burn everything to ashes. Despite being known for his calm and rational demeanor, he was on the verge of collapse at this moment.
Just then, he suddenly thought of Qin Shiyin. This woman, who always looked at Simaziyun with hostility and spoke in a mocking tone, seemed to have become the key to everything. Chu Chenyuan hurried towards Qin Shiyin's chamber.
The palace maids and eunuchs were gradually sent away by Qin Shiyin until only one or two remained, and eventually the maids simply left the meals outside the door.
As the tightly closed palace doors were pushed open by the guards, a long and mournful wail echoed out. Chu Chenyuan hurried into the innermost chamber of the palace, only to be shocked to find Qin Shiyin lying on the bed, already turned into a dried-up corpse, with the skin tightly adhering to the bones, presenting a thoroughly decayed appearance.
Chu Chenyuan was stunned and speechless, unable to accept this sudden reality. He hurried back to Simaziyun's side, his eyes filled with indescribable complex emotions.
"Chenyuan, have you found something?" Simaziyun's voice was weak, yet it conveyed an indescribable determination.
"Well, Qin Shiyin has already passed away, and even the body has decayed. All of this is too eerie, it seems like someone is manipulating things in the dark," Chu Chenyuan said with a serious expression.
"Manipulating things in the dark? Are you saying..."
"Yes, I suspect someone doesn't want us to break this curse, and is using it to prevent our reunion."
Simaziyun smiled, but looked even more fragile. "So, what should we do?"
"First, we must detoxify your body. Then, I will carefully investigate the truth behind all of this," said Chu Chenyuan with determination in his voice.
The guard stood faithfully by Chu Chenyuan's side, ready to follow his orders at any moment. "Your Majesty, we should first find a doctor to detoxify Consort Simaziyun."
Chu Chenyuan nodded firmly, "Go find the doctor, don't delay for a moment. Next, arrange for people to thoroughly investigate the cause of Qin Shiyin's death and any possible internal and external collusion involved."
The guard respectfully took the order and quickly left.
Simaziyun slowly closed his eyes, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. "No matter what happens, I will always be with you."
As the words fell, Chu Chenyuan tightly embraced Simaziyun, and the faint sound of something breaking seemed to pierce through the silent air of the palace.
Chu Chenyuan noticed the thin red line on Simaziyun's hand, which was no longer as bright as before but still emitted a faint glow. He pondered over the five Destiny Stone s in his hand and the sixth one he was about to find, struggling within. He had once only cared about military achievements and the country, but at this moment, he was willing to give up everything for a woman.
The glazed tiles of the palace faintly glowed in the morning sunlight, like a warm embrace. On the purple wooden chair in the main hall, the royal authority and coldness emanated, but at this moment, everything seemed so insignificant.
Suddenly, Chenyuan's heart tightened, feeling a chill. He couldn't help but imagine the scene of Qin Shiyin turning into a dried corpse. For a moment, his inner conflict was like the surging waves of the sea, wanting to find out the truth on one hand, and extremely worried about Simaziyun's life on the other.
"Your Majesty, the doctor requests an audience," a guard hurriedly approached, his voice filled with urgency.
Chu Chenyuan Let the guard in," the doctor said with a serious expression, "Your Majesty, this is an extremely rare and highly toxic poison. It must be resolved within three days, or there may be a risk to your life."
A cold light flashed in his eyes as he sat back heavily in the purple wooden chair, "Then go find the antidote!"
The doctor hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the antidote is located on the Black Stone Mountain in the extreme cold northern region, but it is extremely dangerous and will require overcoming countless difficulties."
Chu Chenyuan stood up and said in a cold voice, "No matter how difficult it is, even if it's a journey of ten thousand miles, I will save her. Prepare to depart tomorrow."
That night, Simaziyun found it difficult to fall asleep. She sat by the window made of violet wood, gazing into the distance. Moonlight slanted into the room, casting a mysterious glow on her face. She took out a delicate mirror with a silver frame, and to her surprise, the face of Qin Shiyin appeared in the mirror.
"Qin Shiyin, why are you appearing here?" Simaziyun's voice trembled slightly, as if touching upon some hidden fear.
Qin Shiyin's face slowly raised a strange and sinister smile in the mirror: "I am here to warn you that in this lifetime, you will face unprecedented challenges, and it's not as simple as dealing with the Plutonian Poison."
Simaziyun suddenly felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but tightly grip the mirror in his hand: "Who are you exactly? Why have you appeared here?"
Qin Shiyin's smile in the mirror became even more sinister. She said coldly, "Where there are mirrors and lakes, there exists my presence in the cycle of life and death. I have always been everywhere, constantly observing you."
Upon hearing this, Simaziyun's face turned as pale as paper. A cold, eerie wind seeped in from outside the window, as if countless lost souls were howling, causing her to shiver involuntarily.
Qin Shiyin continued mysteriously, "Even if you are able to collect the sixth Destiny Stone in this lifetime, you still cannot reverse your fate and change the destiny that has been predetermined."
Then, amidst the mad laughter, he gradually disappeared and the person in the mirror once again became Simaziyun.
