Chapter 74 The Hero's Rescue of the Beauty Failed

The restaurant was bustling and lively, packed with customers, and people were constantly coming and going from the main entrance.

Su Liluo had just walked in through the main entrance and was about to go upstairs to the second floor to check the accounts with the manager.

Suddenly, two burly, drunk men staggered down from above.

She instinctively turned to the side and stood aside, intending to let the two drunk guests leave first.

But who knew that the guest, whether he lost his balance or did it on purpose, suddenly fell towards Su Liluo as he walked to her side.

Fortunately, Su Liluo dodged quickly, and the man bumped into the handrail.

"Ouch, my beauty, why are you being so unkind? I've bumped into something and it hurts, and you're not even helping me up."

A greasy, lewd voice rang out as the man turned his squinting eyes to glance at Su Liluo.

Ranmei instinctively stepped in front of Su Liluo to protect her, saying, "Miss, you go first."

"Get out of my way, don't interrupt my time with the beauty!"

The man reached out and shoved Ranmei aside, then walked toward Su Liluo, attempting to pull her into his arms and take liberties with her.

Xiao Churen, who was upstairs, watched this scene quietly, and was planning to descend from the sky when Su Liluo broke down and cried out.

But the next moment, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Ouch! Help! Help!"

A bloodcurdling scream rang out, but it was not Su Liluo's voice.

Just as the man was about to approach Su Liluo, Su Liluo somehow managed to knock him to the ground with a few moves.

The man's companion tried to help, but he was also beaten up by Su Liluo's punches and kicks.

"this......"

Xiao Churen, who was observing from the shadows, could hardly believe what he was seeing. This Su Liluo actually knew some kung fu!

This is truly unexpected!

"Men, throw these two drunkards out! They must never come here to spend money again!"

Su Lilu coldly gave the order.

Her kung fu skills weren't enough to deal with top-tier fighters, but they were more than enough to handle ordinary men without any skills.

So, the two men arranged by Xiao Churen were quickly thrown out like dead fish.

His planned hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress act, intended to make a good impression, failed before he could even make a move.

"What a piece of trash!"

Xiao Churen stood upstairs and cursed angrily.

"Your Highness, please don't be angry. Why don't you go down and find the Crown Princess and apologize for the misunderstanding? She should be polite to you then, after all, you can't hit someone who's smiling."

At this moment, the servant beside him made a suggestion.

Xiao Churen thought about it and felt that this was the only way.

He was a bit arrogant before, but this time he was friendly and took the initiative to apologize. So Su Liluo's attitude should be better than before, right?

So he was preparing to go down directly.

However, a sudden situation occurred on Su Liluo's side.

A group of customers in the restaurant started making a fuss, shouting that someone had poisoned them.

The restaurant was thrown into chaos.

At a table by the window on the second floor, a young nobleman lay on the ground, his face turning purple and blue, convulsing and vomiting blood, while his companions who had come with him shouted in panic.

"Poisonous! This dish is poisoned! Someone, go and report this to the authorities!"

"Oh dear, calling a doctor is the most important thing now. It would be terrible if the young master died here!"

"Who poisoned it? Does the young master have a grudge against this restaurant?"

"Waiter, quickly call your boss here! He actually poisoned us! We're going to report this to the authorities!"

Upon hearing the sound, Su Liluo rushed over.

She ignored what the people around her were saying and quickly went to look at the boy lying on the ground to take his pulse.

"Spirit, can the spring water in this poisonous space cure it?"

Su Liluo discovered that the boy was poisoned by the poisonous herb "Heartbreak Grass," and if it wasn't treated in time, he would probably die.

"This is highly poisonous. The boy is about to die. Spring water can prolong the onset of the poison, but a complete cure still requires your Tianyi Divine Needle."

"That's what the spirit replied."

Clear spring water can detoxify chronic poisoning, cure stubborn diseases, or have excellent medicinal effects.

However, it only has a delaying effect on these highly toxic substances that are deadly within a short period of time.

However, that's enough.

So Su Liluo quickly picked up a bowl, poured a cup of water, and then secretly replaced it with spring water from her space.

After the boy took the medicine, his complexion improved slightly.

"Young master, you have been poisoned by the poisonous herb, and I must use acupuncture to detoxify you. Please come to my room with me."

Su Liluo spoke earnestly to the young master.

"Young lady, who are you? Don't cause trouble here, we need to wait for the doctor!"

At this moment, another slightly older boy next to them frowned and tried to stop them.

The waiter from the restaurant then explained, "This is our restaurant owner."

"What? She's the boss? So she's the one who had the poisoned?"

Upon hearing this, the boy immediately pinned the blame on Su Liluo.

Su Liluo was naturally displeased and said coldly, "Without any reason, and without even knowing him, what reason would I have to poison him?"

"How...how would I know? You'll have to wait until we get to the authorities and let the officials interrogate you!"

The boy, with his neck stiffened, blocked Su Liluo's path, preventing her from leaving.

The poisoned boy felt much better after drinking the water Su Liluo handed him.

Seeing this, he said to his friend, "Shaoling, this young lady means well; she has no reason to harm me."

"Donghao, you got poisoned because you ate the food here. Who else could it be but her? She must be acting under someone's orders! We should report her to the authorities and have her interrogated immediately!"

The man named Shaoling shouted loudly.

Su Liluo was getting impatient. "We can investigate who poisoned him later. Let me first cure this young master of the poisonous herb!"

The poisonous plant *Gelsemium elegans* is extremely potent; even spring water only provides temporary relief. It's still necessary to quickly use acupuncture to expel the poison.

"What did you say? You know how to cure the poison of the Heartbreak Grass? You don't mean you want to take Dong Hao away and destroy the evidence, do you?!"

Upon hearing that Su Liluo wanted to detoxify, the man exclaimed in disbelief.

Those around were also surprised to hear that the poison was caused by the poisonous herb, Gelsemium elegans.

Everyone knows that the poisonous plant *Gelsemium elegans* is extremely poisonous; so far in Daliang, no one has ever been heard of surviving after being poisoned by it.

"What? I... I've been poisoned by the Heartbreak Weed? Then I..."

The poisoned boy turned pale, and a sudden fear of death rose in his heart.

"If you don't get the antidote, you'll die within half an hour. Now that I'm giving you the antidote, there's still a sliver of hope. Don't worry about me harming you; you'll die anyway if I don't help you."

As for who poisoned him, if you're lucky enough to survive, you can investigate that yourself later. If you really want me to confess, then let me first try to cure him. If he still dies before I can cure him, then I'll admit that I killed him!

Su Liluo spoke with unusual patience.

The boy who was trying to stop her trembled slightly when he heard Su Liluo say the last sentence.

"You, if you haven't properly cured the poison, are you really willing to admit that you killed the person?"
