Chapter 613: Chapter 613: Ruthless (1)_1

Upon hearing Yan Junyu’s words, Emperor Huian’s dim eyes suddenly brightened, and he looked at Doctor Gui with an excited expression, "Junyu is right, if we have ginseng that is over nine hundred years old, even if it can’t completely rid Hengheng of the poison, it should at least save his life, right?"

Over the years, not only had Xiao Ruiyuan and others done everything in their power to find Black Lingzhi, Thousand-year Ginseng, and Century-old Red Python Gall, but Emperor Huian had also never given up the search. However, after more than twenty years, despite consuming untold amounts of manpower and wealth, they had achieved nothing.

Since finding the Century-old Red Python Gall and learning the whereabouts of the Black Lingzhi, Emperor Huian had poured all available manpower into searching for the Thousand-year Ginseng. They had scoured almost all of Great Chu’s famous mountains and rivers, and though they found many other precious medicinal materials, the whereabouts of the Thousand-year Ginseng remained unfathomable.

He had thought that there were still three months left and that perhaps they would find it, but he never could have imagined his son’s poison would act up in advance, this time more fiercely than ever, almost claiming his life!

Now, knowing that they might have a nine-hundred-year-old ginseng that could potentially pull his son back from the brink of the Gate Of Hell, how could he not be agitated?

Xiao Ruiyuan also stared intently at Doctor Gui, knowing in his heart that the ginseng might be useless, yet still yearning for a miracle to occur.

However, Doctor Gui’s next words cruelly shattered all their hopes, "The tyranny of the Heart-eating Poison lies not in causing instant death, but in the fact that there is simply no cure! Black Lingzhi and Century-old Red Python Gall might be rare in this world, and I only knew of their existence from an ancient text. Precisely for this reason, the Heart-eating Poison came to be known as ’Ultimate Poison.’ It’s likely that the person who concocted the Heart-eating Poison didn’t even know there was a cure! To rid the Crown Prince of the poison, not one of the three main ingredients can be missing, nor can inferior substitutes be used. If it calls for Thousand-year Ginseng, it must be Thousand-year Ginseng, otherwise, it will only hasten the onset of the poison!"

If this were not the case, why would he have not kept that nine-hundred-year-old ginseng?

From despair to hope and then back to despair, there is nothing more cruel than this. The hearts of Xiao Ruiyuan, Yan Junyu, and Emperor Huian felt as though they had been thrown high into the air and then smashed brutally to the ground, aching beyond relief.

Even though they had braced themselves for such a day, the discovery of the Century-old Red Python Gall and the Black Lingzhi had reignited their hope. Who could have imagined that of the three main ingredients, the seemingly easiest to find - the Thousand-year Divine Man - would be the one they could never locate?

The room fell into a stifling silence, the air tensed as if a thin, invisible line stretched across it, threatening to snap at any moment, with no one knowing what horrors it might unleash.

The four of them stared unblinkingly at Chu Heng, lying motionless on the bed, oblivious even to the faint noise coming from outside the side hall.

Not long after, Chief Eunuch Liang Gonggong walked in silently, sensing the heavy atmosphere in the room, especially the expressions on several faces, he couldn’t help but feel a jolt of fear. Had the Crown Prince already...

When Liang Gonggong’s gaze shifted to the Crown Prince, seeing the Silver Needles still stuck in his chest, he let out a long sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Thinking of what that young woman had said, Liang Gonggong found himself conflicted. Looking at the Crown Prince’s face, void of any sign of life, he bit his lip and finally broke the dead silence in the room, "Reporting to The Emperor, your servant has an urgent matter to report!"

...

Mo Yan, who was anxiously waiting at the door of the side hall, saw Liang Gonggong come out and hurried to meet him. But before she could speak, Liang Gonggong took her by the sleeve, turned around and walked briskly back into the hall, speaking urgently, "Miss Mo, please follow me quickly, we may be too late if we delay any further!"
