Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 257 Need to Harmonize Yin and Yang

However, just when everyone was full of anticipation, Murong Linzhi's next words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering everyone's newly ignited fantasies.

Murong Linzhi shook his head slightly and said solemnly, "These are all aphrodisiacs. Other types of aphrodisiacs either have antidotes or are not strong enough. For example, in Jingyao's case, soaking in cold water for a while can eliminate the effects. However, this aphrodisiac is called a 'love poison' because there is no antidote."

Hearing this, Si Jian's tears began to well up in his eyes, and he asked in disbelief, "What? You mean the princess..." At this point, his voice was choked.

Seeing this, Murong Linzhi hurriedly comforted her, "Don't cry, young lady! Actually, there is a way to cure this poison."

These words were like a ray of light in the darkness, rekindling the fire of hope deep in the hearts of everyone present. Everyone looked at Murong Linzhi expectantly, waiting for her to continue revealing the detoxification method.

Murong Linzhi seemed a little embarrassed at this moment. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly spoke, "To cure this love poison, the only way is to harmonize yin and yang. If this cannot be done, the poisoned person will not survive more than two hours before exploding and dying from the raging toxins in their body."

Liu Jingyue, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but sigh inwardly upon hearing this: "Such a familiar plot...it seems the plots in those TV dramas aren't entirely fictional!"

Everyone else looked embarrassed, but Liu Jingyue was delighted. Seeing Liu Jingyue like this, Si Jian couldn't help but asked angrily: "Little Princess, our Princess is almost...how can you still smile!"

Shi Jian also blamed Liu Jingyue a little and said, "My little princess, harmonizing yin and yang is a matter that destroys a woman's reputation. Even if we can really save the princess through this method, her reputation is already ruined. How can our princess, with such a strong character, survive in this world?"

Liu Jingyue didn't get angry, but patiently explained, "Shijian, although the harmony of yin and yang is said to destroy a woman's reputation, don't forget that my sister has already been granted marriage. And since Sister Murong is here, it means that Prince Guangping is also here. If I help my sister through him, it won't be considered a loss of reputation, right?"

Upon hearing this, Si Jian and Shi Jian exchanged a glance, realizing they had wrongly blamed Liu Jingyue. They knelt down and pleaded, "Little Princess, please forgive me for my careless words."

At this point, how could Liu Jingyue still pursue these things? After all, the two of them were also loyal to their master, so she said, "Hurry up and get up! The two of you quickly carry your sister back to bed."

The two of them hurriedly responded, and then helped Dugu Jingyao out of the cold water and wiped her with a thick cloth.

Liu Jingyue turned to look at Murong Linzhi and said, "I'd like to trouble Sister Murong to go with me to explain the situation to His Royal Highness Prince Guangping. I believe he will not stand by and watch the future princess die."

Murong Linzhi nodded slightly and walked out of the room with Liu Jingyue.

Liu Jingyue thought that there was still less than half an hour left, so she had to quickly explain to Li Chu and ask him to save her sister. As she thought about this, her pace quickened.

Murong Linzhi saw that although Liu Jingyue spoke lightly just now, she was actually very anxious inside, so when she saw Liu Jingyue speeding up her pace, she also hurried to catch up.

Li Chu and Xun Feng, who had been waiting anxiously downstairs, were getting very restless. When they looked up again, they saw Liu Jingyue and Murong Linzhi coming down the stairs, and they quickly stood up to greet them.

Although they were in a hurry, Liu Jingyue and Murong Linzhi still did not forget to greet each other. Li Chu didn't have the mind to dwell on this. He quickly told them not to greet each other and asked, "How is Jingyao?"

Liu Jingyue pretended to be mysterious and said, "Your Highness, please excuse me for a moment."

Li Chu naturally knew that Dugu Jingyao's injury could not be exposed, so he went with Liu Jingyue to the room opened for her.

As soon as she entered the room and closed the door, Liu Jingyue immediately knelt down and bowed to Li Chu, choking with sobs and saying, "Your Highness, please save my sister!"

Li Chu was a little confused by Liu Jingyue's unreasonable words and hurried forward to help her up. But Liu Jingyue said, "If Your Highness doesn't save my sister, I will not get up."

Although Li Chu didn't know how to save her, Dugu Jingyao was his beloved. How could he not save her if he could? So he said, "Yuer, don't worry. In order to save Jingyao, I will do whatever I can!"

Seeing Li Chu's solemn promise, Liu Jingyue knew that her goal had been achieved, and then she stood up and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Li Chu then asked, "Miss Murong, do you have a way to detoxify?"

Murong Linzhi nodded and said, "Indeed, there is, but the princess was poisoned by love. This poison only... only..."

Li Chu asked anxiously, "Just what?"

Murong Linzhi said, "It just requires the harmony of yin and yang to detoxify. If this is not done, the poisoned person will explode and die in two hours at most."

Li Chu felt his head buzzing when he heard about the explosion and death. Seeing Li Chu like this, Liu Jingyue reminded him: "It has been an hour and a half since the poisoning. If you don't save me, I will..." As she spoke, she choked up.

Li Chu was afraid that if he really saved Dugu Jingyao, it would be bad for her reputation. Liu Jingyue said, "This minister only has this one sister! Besides, she was your future princess, it's just that she died earlier. At the same time, I can save her life, and it won't be considered a disgrace to her. Isn't it the best of both worlds!"
