Cool hands touched his forehead and he heard a familiar voice: “Alright, the fever has subsided, it means that the poison is almost detoxified.”
“You Yue?” Mo Zhi called out, his voice was hoarse.
“Don’t talk, eat this first.” Sima You Yue’s voice sounded vague and dreamlike to him.
A pill was stuffed into his mouth and it dissolved upon entering his mouth. Almost at once, he felt that his head was a lot clearer, and his mouth was a lot more comfortable.
He looked at Sima You Yue. She pulled out a silver needle and pierced it on his body, then she said: “You were poisoned. I am detoxifying the poison for you. If you have any uncertainty, ask me when you’re feeling better.”
Mo Zhi blinked and watched her as she worked quietly. After she had removed all the silver needles, she covered him with a quilt.
“Lingyu, you can let them in now.” She said and turned her head.
Only then did Mo Zhi notice that Lingyu was standing at the end of the bed.
Wu Lingyu removed the spirit barrier, but before he could open the door, Mo Li and the others had already opened the door and entered.
“Princess, how is it?” Mo Zhi’s mother, Yu Xiao, asked as soon as she came in.
“The poison has already been detoxified, there’s no major problem now.” However, he has been relying on medicines the past two years to prolong his lifespan, therefore, he is relatively weak right now. He needs to spend some time recuperating before can fully recover.”
“Thank you Princess. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid that Zhi’er wouldn’t have made it through.” Yun Xiao looked at her gratefully.
“You don’t have to thank me Aunt, Mo Zhi is my friend.” Sima You Yue smiled.
“You are Ancestor’s Master, and you are a Princess, how can you call me Aunt? You can call me Yun Xiao.”
“That’s right, we can’t mix up the seniority.” Mo Li also responded.
“It’s alright. Mo Yu is too old, we don’t have to worry about him.” Sima You Yue said, “We will do it this way, and it’s something else for him.”
“This...”
“Since the Princess has said so, then we will do it this way.” Mo Xie came over to the bed after he had spoken. When he saw that Mo Zhi had indeed woken up and his complexion had improved a lot, he knew that the poison had indeed been detoxified.
“Grandfather.” Mo Zhi called out softly, his voice was much better than it was before.
“It’s good that you’re awake.” Mo Xie patted his hand, “Grandfather will avenge this grudge for you.”
“Grandfather Mo, Mo Zhi has just woken up, he needs to rest more and talk less. You may talk for a short while, then he has to rest. I’m going back to rest first.” Sima You Yue said.
“Alright, thank you Princess.” Mo Xie and the others stood up and bowed as she left. She nodded and left Mo Zhi’s bedroom with Wu Lingyu.
When Sima You Yue arrived in her room, which was in the courtyard next to Mo Zhi’s courtyard, Wu Lingyu noticed that she seemed unhappy and he raised his eyebrows: “Are you thinking about the Human Realm?”
“This poison was developed by Shi Qian Shi, I didn’t expect to see it in the Ghost Realm. He is in Paramount Valley right now, so he shouldn’t have any connection with the Ghost Realm.” Sima You Yue said.
“If you are worried about who is colluding with the Ghost Clan, why don’t you just ask Mo Yu’s family?” Wu Lingyu said.
“I’ll ask later. I’m tired from researching medicines these past few days. Now that Mo Zhi is awake, I think that all they’re concerned about now is him. I’ll go and ask Mo Yu after I’ve rested for half a day.”
“Alright, let’s go and get some rest.” Wu Lingyu nodded seriously.
“...”
She was going to rest, how did it become the both of them going to rest?
Wu Lingyu smiled softly: “I’m also tired from accompanying you the past few days. Come, let’s go to sleep together. It’s getting late anyway.”
“...”
Early the next morning, Sima You Yue went to see Mo Zhi. After a night’s rest, his spirits seemed to have improved a lot.
“You Yue, thank you. You saved me.” Mo Zhi smiled gratefully at her.
“Your life was not meant to end. I just happened to know of the poison that you were afflicted with. How do you feel now?” Sima You Yue came to his bedside and pulled his hand over and examined him.
“I feel much better.” Mo Zhi said, “But my hands still don’t seem to be functioning very well.”
Sima You Yue let go of him and replied: “That is normal. After all, you’ve been poisoned for more than two years, it will take time to fully recover. Your recovery has actually been quite good. I will refine some pills for your recuperation later on and you can take them.”
“Thank you.”
“Alright, you’ve already thanked me multiple times. If you really want to thank me, get well soon and send me lots of treasures.” Sima You Yue said with a smile.
“The thank you gift you want is so common.”
“I can’t help it if I am just an earthling.” Sima You Yue stood up, “I’m going to look for your Ancestor. Have a good rest.”
“My Ancestor should be in the Assembly Hall with my Grandfather right now.” Mo Zhi reminded her.
Sima You Yue already knew this, but she didn’t know if she was allowed to go to the Assembly Hall, or how to get there. However, her doubts soon eased when someone greeted her as she left Mo Zhi’s courtyard.
“Princess, the Patriarch would like to see you.”
Sima You Yue knew that they were in the Assembly Hall, that meant that they were asking her to participate in their discussion.
Wu Lingyu and her arrived at the Assembly Hall. The quaint hall exuded the breath of history.
“You’re here. Did you go to see Mo Zhi first?” Mo Yu was seated in the main seat and the place next to him was empty.
At his signal, Sima You Yue walked over to the seat, and Wu Lingyu sat down below her.
“How much do you know about the Mo Clan?” Mo Yu asked her.
Sima You Yue shook her head: “I don’t know anything.”
“You don’t know anything but you rushed all the way here?” Mo Yu glanced at her and said, “Yes, I suppose that’s just you.”
“Although I don’t know anything, I came to see if I could be of any help. However, I was unable to find out anything about the Mo Clan on the outside!” Sima You Yue was speechless, “But it was a good thing I came. If Mo Zhi’s condition had dragged on any longer, I’m afraid that he wouldn’t have made it.”
“Princess, we are already very grateful that you are able to help us. However, Princess should leave the Mo Clan as soon as possible. We will arrange for someone to escort you to the Imperial Capital.” Mo Xie said.
“Oh?” Sima You Yue hadn’t expected Mo Xie to have said something like this. This was completely unlike Mo Xie’s style!
“Why? Is your opponent tough to handle?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Not easy to handle, but we will be able to manage it.” Mo Xie said, “Their Elder had a problem with me before. I don’t know who he has been bewitched by this time and he keeps causing trouble for us.”
Sima You Yue understood right away. For such a large clan like the Mo Clan and to be on guard with all their strength, this was not a trivial matter.
“One of the Eight Noble Clans? The Ghost Realm? Or the Soul Region?” She asked.
Mo Xie was not surprised as knew that she would be able to guess who it was.
“It seems that I have guessed it. If it is against an evenly-matched clan, then why are you being suppressed by them?”
