I insist

Chapter 111: Expressing Gratitude

Song Miqiu originally wanted to say something, but upon seeing that arrogant face, she immediately blamed it on the other person.

However, upon seeing Yu Huailin's current state, she didn't want to waste any more time, so she immediately looked away and slashed a wound on his hand.

Fresh blood gushed out, but unlike in the morning it was not black; it remained bright red.

Although she didn't know what was going on, Song Miqiu looked to the side again and saw that he also shook his head helplessly and could only fumble his way over on his own.

Although he didn't know what kind of poison it was, he still reached out and grabbed a few medicinal herbs and placed them in front of Yu Huailin.

He didn't understand what was going to happen, but after hesitating for a long time, he opened his mouth and bit into it.

Just as I was about to refuse, I suddenly felt nauseous and vomited.

Which one?

What are you saying?

Yu Huailin was slightly disoriented due to the effects of the poison and did not understand Song Miqiu's words at all.

Just as he was about to use his internal energy to force it out of his body, that nauseating feeling surged up again.

"It should be this one, please wait a moment."

"what are you up to?"

Song Miqiu did not answer the question, but turned around and retrieved all the prescriptions containing the same herb from his memory.

After comparing them repeatedly, the most suitable prescription was finally chosen, and the subordinates quickly combined them together.

After the medicine was boiled and fed to Yu Huailin, he looked at those even more unusual hands.

How are you feeling?

"I feel nauseous. If possible, could you please give me that bucket?"

Seeing that he was about to vomit, Song Miqiu immediately handed him the bucket for emptying the medicine dregs.

The next moment, everyone smelled a foul, fishy odor, and their brows furrowed again.

"What did you make? Why does it taste so strange?"

"hold on."

Only Ming Taicheng glanced at Song Miqiu, then turned his gaze to the sisters on the other side who were arranging various medicinal herbs.

Because there were too many eyes on her, Song Miqiu didn't notice this, but the two sisters were still quick to sense it and looked up at Ming Taicheng.

How much time is left?

"Most of the time has passed, and only..."

The old man standing by the incense burner frowned as he watched the incense burner burn out, but still shouted the words "The competition is over" the moment the last ash fell.

Song Miqiu looked at Yu Huailin, who had already raised his head, and at his hands that had returned to their normal color, and couldn't help but let out a breath.

"I want an explanation."

"Everything in the universe has its counterpart. Since you have been poisoned, your body will definitely react to the antidote. As long as I find the formula based on the medicinal materials, it will be a piece of cake."

Yu Huailin glanced at Song Miqiu, but ultimately took back what she was about to say and turned to look at her sisters who were waiting for the result.

"The antidote hasn't been prepared yet?"

"It's because our skills are lacking; please help us."

Ming Taicheng, who had walked up to the three of them, observed them briefly before standing up and walking quickly toward Song Miqiu.

She thought the figure wanted to say hello and was still thinking about how to respond when she saw the figure move aside and walk straight towards the two sisters.

The three exchanged a glance, and seeing that the other party was not going to make a move, they grabbed a handful of powder from the table and threw it at the three of them.

The next instant, the body, which was still convulsing, suddenly became still, peaceful as if it had fallen asleep.

"There shouldn't be any problem then, right?"

"Yes."

Although the two sisters were dissatisfied, they still responded and turned to look in another direction.

Knowing that the two children were not interested, Ming Taicheng didn't say anything, but smiled slightly and announced the result, telling the three who had passed the test to go back and rest.

On the way back, Song Miqiu saw Wu Hanxue standing behind her sister with a nervous expression. She smiled helplessly and was just about to step forward.

But the person in front also noticed the commotion and quickened their pace, running back to their room first.

"You've ingested two kinds of poison in one day. Do you want to go back to your room and rest for a while?"

Yu Huailin didn't say anything, but his turning around said it all.

With no one to supervise her, Song Miqiu naturally threw herself onto the bed and enjoyed the rare peace and quiet.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, the image of the three people being poisoned flashed through her mind.

His curiosity kept rising, and he eventually overcame his fatigue, took out his book, and began to search for the recipe for that poison.

Unfortunately, that thing wasn't recorded on it, and after looking at it one last time, I still couldn't find anything.

Song Miqiu sighed helplessly, then tidied everything up and turned to look at the side room next door.

I wonder if they'll even be able to eat today.

If I happen to come across it, I can ask about the toxicology I don't know.

Song Miqiu knew, of course, that this was all just her imagination. She let out an even more helpless sigh before leaving the side room and quickly walking into a room further away.

Because the kitchen had been left in a mess at noon and hadn't been cleaned up yet, she could only cobble together a simple dinner for everyone using what she had.

But she was the only one working on it, and by the time she finished, it was already an hour later.

Song Miqiu wiped the sweat from her forehead as she walked out of the kitchen and saw the two people sitting down to eat.

Thank you so much for today.

"Thank us?"

As soon as her older sister Wu Hanshuang spoke, she felt the air around her suddenly freeze, and after a while, she let out another sigh.

Standing in a safer corner, he nodded to Wu Hanxue who was looking at him.

"This isn't even... Sister!"

She hadn't expected that her sister would leave as soon as she spoke. She was terrified and looked around, not knowing what to do.

Zhou Xiang knew that she was too young and didn't know how to balance both sides, so she walked over with an even more helpless smile.

"Your sister is sick, is it alright if we don't go after her?"

"You shouldn't mess with my sister right now; if you go over there, you'll get scolded."

Hearing her younger sister's somewhat nervous voice, she cautiously shrank her neck and then looked at Song Miqiu again.

Although she didn't know what was going on, she still handed over the pastries she had prepared.

"This is a thank-you gift for you. Don't worry, it's absolutely not poisonous."

"Even if it's poisonous, I'm not afraid; I can recognize it."

Although the voice was soft, Song Miqiu still heard it. She turned around and smiled slightly at her before reaching out to place some of the dishes into the other person's hands.

Seeing her looking confused again, he chuckled softly once more.

"Your sister only ate so little, she'll definitely be hungry later, and she'll be even more irritable when she's hungry."

"Is that so? Then I'll definitely make sure she eats more when I get back."

Upon hearing her words, Song Miqiu smiled slightly and even considered finding a lunchbox for someone to take back.

But just as she stood up, she heard something being knocked over behind her, along with a woman's scream.
