Chapter 312 Can you still save him?

"They're not dead, so they definitely haven't told anyone yet! Master, don't worry, Liuyue and the others definitely won't tell!"

Yi Lan said with relief.

The middle-aged woman glared at her with exasperation, "You've all gone stupid after going out for a while. You're all so useless. It seems I have to step in myself!"

I never expected Lanxing's daughter to be so much smarter than her. But no matter how smart she is, I will eventually make this bastard die! Hahaha! Lanxing, you just watch from the underworld!

The middle-aged woman laughed maniacally as she spoke, her eyes filled with deep jealousy and hatred.

The capital of Liang has issued an arrest warrant for Yi Lan, and notices announcing her capture are now posted everywhere.

Xiao Churen was afraid that Yi Lan would implicate him, so he had been keeping a very low profile lately. He even went to Emperor Wenjian to explain his past relationship with Yi Lan.

He repeatedly stated that he was completely unaware of the collusion between Yilan and Gao Junning, which gradually dispelled Emperor Wenjian's doubts.

He just didn't expect that the Su family would bring him new trouble.

"Master, Zhao Liancheng, whom the Crown Princess has been asking us to protect, has gotten into trouble!"

The Crown Prince's study.

Xiao Ye's expression suddenly turned serious as he listened to his subordinate's report.

"what happens?"

The people he sent to protect Zhao Liancheng were all top-notch experts, so they shouldn't have been a problem among a group of defenseless scholars.

How could someone get into trouble?

"He's been poisoned and is dying."

The guard said with a bitter face.

They are formidable bodyguards, few can defeat them, but they are not doctors.

They can deal with assassins, but they can't deal with poison delivered to their doorstep, especially since they can't see when someone puts the poison in.

"Poisoning."

Xiao Ye repeated the sentence dangerously, and the next moment he immediately got up and went straight to Su Liluo's courtyard.

"Luo'er, the person you're protecting has been poisoned!"

At this moment, Su Liluo was reading a medical book in the room when she suddenly heard Xiao Ye push open the door and say anxiously.

She quickly put down her book. "Su Xuanlang has finally made his move! Come on, husband, let's go see what's going on. We absolutely cannot let Zhao Liancheng die!"

If he dies, then Su Xuanlang will face a long and arduous road to success.

In this life, he will not allow Su Xuanlang to enter officialdom through the imperial examination as smoothly as in the previous life, and eventually become Xiao Churen's capable assistant.

Academy.

Su Xuanlang stood sadly by Zhao Liancheng's bedside, while several other students stood anxiously beside him.

"Why hasn't the doctor arrived yet? Liancheng, you must hold on! You are the most outstanding student in the academy. If you die, everyone will be very sad."

A tall student said with concern.

"Yes, Liancheng, you must hold on. As long as you get timely treatment for wild mushroom poisoning, there shouldn't be any problems."

Su Xuanlang chimed in, and looking at him, there were still a few tears on his face.

Zhao Liancheng lay weakly on the bed, feeling his strength slowly draining away. He was deeply moved by the words of concern from his classmates.

Seeing that Su Xuanlang, who played the game best with him, had tears in his eyes, he was deeply moved.

"Brother Su, don't... don't be sad. I... I still need you to help me... to pass on a message to my parents."

Zhao Liancheng weakly raised his hand, wanting to wipe away Su Xuanlang's tears, but he couldn't lift it.

Su Xuanlang sobbed twice, "Brother Zhao, you...you will be alright, don't be afraid."

Little did he know that as he lowered his head and pretended to choke up after saying those words, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

Once that eyesore Zhao Liancheng is dead, he will become the most anticipated student in the entire academy.

At that time, both the teachers and the dean of the academy will place their hopes on him, and he will receive the best training.

He might even take advantage of the dean's daughter, Shen Jiaojiao.

"The doctor is here! The doctor is here! Brother Zhao, you're saved!"

Just then, a fair-skinned man, panting heavily, pulled an elderly doctor into the house.

"Oh dear, slow down, slow down. My legs aren't very strong, I can't walk that fast."

The old doctor was being anxiously dragged inside by the students, and he felt like all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.

When he came in and saw Zhao Liancheng's face turn pale, his expression immediately became serious.

Then, he reached out and took his pulse.

"Doctor, how is he? Can you still save him?"

The one who asked the question was Su Xuanlang.

The old doctor shook his head and sighed, "The poison has penetrated his lungs and internal organs; there's no way to save him. There's nothing you can do! You should pack up and prepare for his funeral!"

"How could this be? Doctor, are you telling the truth? Is Brother Zhao really beyond saving?"

Su Xuanlang looked utterly shocked and deeply saddened.

"Alas, if it had been a little earlier, perhaps I could have saved him, but now... alas!"

The old doctor shook his head helplessly, glanced at Zhao Liancheng on the bed, and felt sorry for him.

This student clearly had a bright future ahead of him, and now he's been poisoned like this. It's such a pity!

The others in the room also burst into tears upon hearing this.

As Su Xuanlang wiped away his tears with his sleeve, he felt a sense of smugness.
