The Lady's Sickly Husband

C128. Poison Removed

The couple whispered more sweet words with each other, when a black figure floated in and kneeled at once, "Sorry, lord, I came back late."

The life-savor came back! Asan and Awu immediately turned back and almost cried. This life-savor wasn't referred to that life-savor! If they continued to stay here, they would be poisoned by the publicly shown affection between lord and lady.

Seeing a person coming in, Mo Qianxue straightened up her back and sat erected.

The softness on Ning Shaoqing's face also reduced and it was replaced by the usual stern, "Not late! Just in time." He gestured to let the man in black get up, "Thank you!"

As the man in black looked up, the ferocious scar on his face came into sight. It was exactly the shadow guard.

When he first found old Mr. Wang, he had known what the poison in his body and the guiding herb required for the cure was.

Requesting Mr. Wang to pick up the herb was only a tactic to mislead the enemies.

The doctor was too big and obvious as a target, so Ning Shaoqing hadn't cherished too much hope in him, but he had still dispatched a group of people to escort him during the journey to pick the herb, because this was exactly his tactic to let the enemies believe that Ning Shaoqing had no other choice.

In fact, he had already secretly inquired that there was also the same herb at another place and sent a group of people to guard it. The other group of hidden guards had been sent to perform this mission.

The reason why the shadow guard had gone out was to guarantee the successful obtaining of the herb.

Now that Ning Shaoqing had promised to protect, he would keep his words and live well.

To survive, he wouldn't put all the hope in one person. Even if the shadow guard failed to complete his mission, there would be one more alternative on the way.

The only thing that had troubled him was the earlier breakout of the poison which caught him by surprise.

Fortunately, his girl wasn't so stupid as to make a decision on her own to allow the doctor to use the wicked on him, otherwise he would really cry.

The shadow guard reached into his pocket and took out a light golden root. The strange doctor, just now snoring in the chair, instantly sprang up and grabbed over the herb, "The guiding herb! Why didn't you tell me earlier? You guys!"

Ning Shaoqing had told him but he didn't believe it and went to sleep. Mo Qianxue shook her head but didn't dare to say much, fearing that any word might offend this strange doctor since now it was a critical moment.

"Yes. It's exactly the root of the rare flower." The strange doctor carefully examined the light golden root and nodded, "It's in good condition and still glistens. The medical efficacy will be nice."

Hearing his praise, the shadow guard covertly breathed a sigh of relief, and Asan and Awu smiled together.

Ning Shaoqing grabbed tighter the hand in his hand and Mo Qianxue pinched him back with a relief.

After examining the root, the doctor casually threw it back to the shadow guard.

The shadow guard reached out to catch it in a hurry.

Mo Qianxue sweated, fearing that the herb might be dropped to the ground.

This was no kidding matter. It was the cure for Ning Shaoqing. Throwing away the root of the rare flower, the strange doctor took out from his pocket a small porcelain bottle, and without any warning in advance, again threw it away casually, but this time, to Ning Shaoqing.
