Epang Palace, Small Medicine Hut.
In name, it was a Small Medicine Hut Qin Feng had built especially for Yourong. In reality, it was the imperial pharmacy where the emperor received treatment.
Since Boss Qin didn't want to pay his employees or keep other imperial physicians, he told Yourong it was a Small Medicine Hut built just for her.
Not only could he win himself a big round of affection points, he could also hire Little Medical Immortal as an imperial physician without paying her a salary. What's more, depending on his mood, he could choose whether to use her by day or by night.
At that moment—
Lin Hongdou was lying in the Small Medicine Hut, her body crawling with poisonous insects and venomous creatures.
The poison sac she had bitten through contained an incurable toxin. After trying every possible method without success, Yourong had taken an unorthodox approach and decided to fight poison with poison.
"Pfft, pfft..."
Lin Hongdou's body suddenly convulsed, and she kept coughing up black blood. Her Life Aura was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Did I fail?!"
Yourong's delicate brows knitted slightly. She picked up a silver needle and swiftly drove it in.
The Life Force that had been rapidly draining away stopped. A moment later, Lin Hongdou's body stopped convulsing, too, though wisps of black vapor appeared on her formerly fair little face.
"K-kill me..."
Lin Hongdou struggled to open her eyes and looked at Yourong pleadingly.
She knew Yourong was trying to save her, but the process was simply too painful. And even if Yourong managed to save her, what would it matter? Assassinating the Qin Emperor had always been a one-way trip.
"That won't do!"
Yourong immediately refused in a stern voice.
It wasn't that she couldn't
