Emperor Xue Ye sat down on the sofa with An Jun and Huo Lei supporting him.
After resting for a moment, Emperor Xue Ye's complexion improved somewhat. Looking at An Jun and Huo Lei, he forced out a smile. "It's nothing. You needn't worry. Over the past two years, I've only occasionally suffered from headaches and discomfort. Perhaps I've simply been working too hard."
An Jun said concernedly, "Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself! Leave the daily trivial matters to His Highness the Crown Prince. Don't exhaust yourself by handling everything personally."
This should be a sign that the poison within Emperor Xue Ye's body is acting up. It isn't too serious yet, so there should still be hope of saving him. The thought flashed through Huo Lei's mind.
Huo Lei turned around, putting his back to Xue Ye and An Jun, then instantly took out a large pale pink flower from his Wishful Treasure Pouch and held it out before Emperor Xue Ye.
The pink flower had no leaves, its stem three feet long. Its blossom was enormous, a full foot in diameter. Every petal was as crystal-clear as a gemstone, while its pistil was pale violet, like purple diamonds embedded within. A tranquil, elegant fragrance continuously wafted from the flower. It was none other than the Aromatic Silk Beauty, known as the bane of all poisons for its ability to neutralize all kinds of toxins.
"Your Majesty, I obtained this herb by chance. Its fragrance can make one feel refreshed and clear-headed after a single breath. I knew then that it was no ordinary item, so I kept it with me all this time. Seeing Your Majesty in such discomfort just now reminded me of it, so I took it out and offered it to you."
