Chapter 635 Stop!
Chapter 635 Stop!
"That's very well said. If I hadn't understood the whole process, I would have been impressed by your superb acting skills. If you are such a good actor, why don't you go into singing? Being a doctor is such a waste of your talent."
Hong Gu frowned slightly, not wanting Wu Yong to be framed by these scoundrels, so he spoke up for him, "Girl, you must have misunderstood. Brother Wu Yong is a man of broad mind. If it weren't for his kind words of advice, I would have committed suicide long ago. It was he who gave me hope of life! He has never harmed me. You must have been deceived by these scoundrels."
"Senior Medicine Saint, how can you say you're kind? You were sold and you're still helping them count the money. Today, I'm going to be a good person and expose his true face. You can't judge a person by his appearance."
Hong Gu was speechless. He was an old man, but he was actually lectured by a young man. If this were to get out, he would no longer have the face to walk around in the world.
Fu Ling didn't care about all this. She looked at Wu Yong sarcastically.
"That poison is extremely precious, and it is often used. Let me guess where you would keep it..." Fu Ling seemed to be thinking about something.
"Hide it in the rest area... No, that's not right. People often clean there. If someone sees it, it might arouse suspicion. So... I think hiding it on my body is the safest."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Yong's heart sank. What he feared was really what came true. He wanted to wait until he was free again and then quickly throw away the medicine. Anyway, the two men were already dead. In more than a month, the amount of medicine he gave Hong Gu would be enough for the disease to occur.
Once Honggu dies, he will be the only one who can be of great use here. Wouldn’t the future glory and wealth be within his grasp?
A few drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He feigned calmness and said, "If Your Highness doesn't believe me, I can prove my innocence. I have medicine on me, but it's not poison. If Your Highness doesn't believe me, I can test the medicine on myself to prove my innocence."
"Row!"
He didn't expect the princess to agree so readily. He had poison and antidote on him. As long as he drank them together, he would be fine. This was also a preparation in case the truth was revealed. He didn't expect that he would need it so soon.
But a horrifying scene appeared. Fu Ling searched several medicine bottles from him, but only took the gray bottle in his hand. The gray bottle contained the chronic poison.
If he took the whole bottle, without the antidote, he wouldn't be able to survive even half an incense stick.
Fu Ling deliberately pocketed all the other medicines in front of him, leaving only this bottle in his hand: "To prove your innocence, please take all the powder in this bottle."
"Your Highness, this is medicine to make up for the blood loss. If you don't believe me, you can give me all the medicine I just gave you."
My hands were tied behind my back, and my palms were sweating from nervousness.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Fu Ling didn't indulge him.
"Since you're the one who suggested testing the medicine on yourself, then do as I say. Since it's to make up for the loss, I think it's okay to take it."
After saying this, when he was about to continue quibbling, he grabbed his cheeks and poured all the powder into his mouth.
After feeding him the medicine, he did not let go immediately. He waited until he swallowed all the powder before letting him go. He also did something extremely humiliating.
He wiped his hands on Wu Yong's body in disgust.
"Cough! Cough..." Wu Yong coughed because of choking.
His face flushed crimson, and he pretended to be nonchalant as he said, "Your Highness, take the medicine too. If you don't believe me, you can try the rest of the medicine as well."
"No need, I'll just try this bottle..." Fu Ling smiled like a flower.
Wu Yong was particularly horrified by this. How did she know it was that bottle of medicine? He was the only one in the world who knew, no one else could possibly know. In that split second, he seemed to understand something, and he looked at Fu Ling with a look of terror.
Hong Gu thought that Fu Ling was going to release Wu Yong, and felt relieved.
But he saw that Wu Yong's expression at this time was very strange. It didn't look like he was relieved, but more like he was disheartened.
"Brother Wu Yong, what's wrong with you?" Hong Gu asked with concern.
Fu Ling explained with a smile: "Of course he is about to die. After taking this bottle of poison, in less than half an incense stick of time, his intestines will rot and he will die."
Then a yellow medicine bottle appeared in his hand, and Fu Ling played with it.
Wu Yong's heart was beating in his throat at this moment. He stared at the medicine in Fu Ling's hand with desire, but in order to survive, he had no choice but to take it.
"How can you be so sure, Your Highness? If you make the wrong choice, wouldn't you be letting someone you believe is a great villain go free? Why not try all the medicines together? That way, you can clear Mr. Wu's name."
He stared at the yellow medicine bottle with such eagerness that even Hong Gu could sense something was wrong.
"You seem to really want this bottle of medicine, but as for me, even if you want it, I just don't want to give it to you."
As she spoke, she took out the other medicines one by one and stuffed them all into Wu Yong's mouth, except for the bottle of yellow medicine, which she still held in her hand and played with.
As time went by, Wu Yong became more and more panicked and his breathing became rapid.
"Is Your Highness satisfied? If not, you can give the medicine in your hand to Wu."
"No, I'm already satisfied."
"In that case, Your Highness, when will you release me?" He needed to take the antidote as soon as possible. Fortunately, he had a trick up his sleeve. There was a bottle of antidote in the stone chamber where he lived. If he took it as soon as possible, he would still have a chance of survival.
"Wait a little longer, just one stick of incense. If you're okay after one stick of incense, it means I was wrong."
An incense stick? What a joke! He can't even wait for half an incense stick. Isn't this pushing him to death?
When people are in despair, they find it difficult to think calmly and calmly because of fear.
He began to show signs of uneasiness. He tried to communicate with Fu Ling, "Your Highness, since Wu's innocence has been proven, why don't you do the right thing and release me and Hong Gu? Wu will definitely remember your kindness."
"That's not necessary. Whether you repay me or not has nothing to do with me."
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that I have taken away all the medicine in your stone chamber. I will consider it as money to buy your life."
Not only did he kill the person but he also raised the yellow medicine bottle in his hand.
Wu Yong's pupils shrank slightly. Time passed by little by little, and his heart had already sunk to the bottom.
Especially Fu Ling’s next move almost made Wu Yong’s eyes burst with anger.
"Senior Medicine Saint, since you trust Wu Yong so much, could you please take this bottle of medicine for him?" Fu Ling walked slowly towards Hong Gu, holding the yellow medicine bottle.
"Okay, if I take it, can you promise me that you will let him live?"
"Of course. I have always respected knowledgeable seniors like you, so why not give you a favor?"
"In that case! I drink!"
This should have been touching, but Wu Yong was not moved at all at this moment.
Just as the medicine was about to be taken, Wu Yong shouted, "Stop!"
