Chapter 399 Want to know how your mother died?

"that's all?"

The Emperor of the Northern Desert was somewhat incredulous at what he had heard.

"Um."

Su Liluo nodded slightly.

The Emperor of the Northern Desert lowered his gaze, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "So what exactly are your identities? What makes you think you have the ability to help me deal with the Regent?"

"I can cure the poison in your body and let you live like a normal person."

"Are you... telling the truth?"

The Emperor of the Northern Desert stared in disbelief at the calm and confident Su Liluo, his mouth agape.

She said it could cure her own poison?

Knowing that the poison in his body had penetrated deep into his lungs and internal organs, no amount of precious medicine could help him. He even tried to consult folk doctors behind the Regent's back, but they were all powerless to help him.

Now that this woman, who looks quite young, says she can save him, can he really believe her?

The Emperor of the Northern Desert looked at Su Liluo with suspicion, but at the same time, he had a strong desire to live.

No one had ever guaranteed to save a person's life before; this woman was the first.

"If you don't believe me, you can drink this glass of water. It's a potion I've prepared."

Su Liluo sensed his distrust, so she handed the cup in her hand to him again.

This is spring water that was just taken from the space. Although it may not be able to completely cure the emperor's body, it will definitely make him feel much more comfortable immediately.

However, the Northern Desert Emperor was unusually suspicious. Even when the water was offered to him again, he still did not reach for it.

Who knows if they were sent by the regent to deceive him?

What if it's poison and you die instantly after drinking it?

"Since you're going to die sooner or later, why not take a gamble?"

At that moment, Xiao Ye's cold words came over.

The Emperor of the Northern Desert suddenly realized that if the Regent wanted him dead, he would die sooner or later.

Since he's in this state anyway, he can't beat anyone, so we might as well take a gamble.

With that thought, he immediately snatched the cup from Su Liluo's hand and gulped down the water in two gulps.

A moment later, he felt as if his originally tired and weak body had been injected with some kind of vitality, and his whole body seemed to have undergone a cleansing.

He got up from the bed somewhat uncertainly, put on his shoes, and stood up.

Then, walk.

One step, two steps...

"I...I'm cured! I...I can walk now! My lady, you really cured me!"

The emperor's face lit up with surprise and delight; he was so excited he almost danced for joy.

"Your Majesty, the poison has not been cured; the condition has only temporarily improved. If you wish to cure the poison, I will need to slowly prepare an antidote for you."

Just as the emperor was in high spirits, Su Liluo spoke up, pulling him back from his excitement.

The spring water in the space is good, but it can only be used to immediately cure ordinary minor poisons. The poison in the Northern Desert Emperor's body has been there for more than ten years and is not an ordinary poison, so it is naturally not something that can be solved by a cup of spring water.

To cure her poisoning, she would probably need to receive several more Tianyi Divine Needles treatments, along with appropriate medicinal herbs.

Upon hearing this, the emperor was not disappointed, but gradually calmed down.

He awkwardly touched his nose and said softly, "Oh, it's mainly because I haven't felt such good changes in my body for so long that I thought the poison had been neutralized. However, I trust you now. What do you need me to do?"

After he finished speaking, his eyes sparkled as he looked at Su Liluo and the others.

These people gave him hope, and now he's going all in and trusting them.

"Your Majesty now needs to arrange an identity for us to stay by your side so that I can slowly detoxify him. My husband will teach Your Majesty how to gradually wrest power back from the Regent."

"good!"

This time, the Emperor of the Northern Desert believed them without hesitation.

Although the regent has a lot of power now, it wouldn't be difficult for him, as the emperor, to arrange for Su Liluo and the others to stay by his side with certain identities.

Especially in recent years, his health has been deteriorating to the point where he needs the regent to approve his memorials. The regent's vigilance and precautions against him are not as high as they were a few years ago.

Soon, Su Liluo and the others were given new identities and settled in the palace.

With this identity, she had a legitimate reason to enter and leave the Imperial Hospital.

In order to prepare the antidote for the emperor, she naturally needed to go to the Imperial Hospital to personally obtain the medicine.

So, on that day, she took the token given to her by the emperor and went to the Imperial Hospital in person.

Unfortunately, they ran into that imperial physician who claimed to be their mother's disciple again.

Furthermore, this imperial physician had an incredibly keen sense of smell, like a dog's. As Su Liluo walked past him, he noticed something amiss and called out to her.

"Girl, wait!"

The man chased after them from behind.

Su Liluo stopped in her tracks, frowned, and then turned back to look at him blankly. "I wonder what the imperial physician wants with me?"

"Girl, I recognize that scent on you."

The man's expression was serious, his eyes fixed on Su Liluo, as if trying to find some flaw in her.

"Oh? What smells on me?"

Su Lilu smiled generously.

"The taste of Ganoderma lucidum."

The man spoke calmly, his gaze fixed firmly on Su Liluo.

Su Liluo immediately lost control of her expression, her pupils widening. Could he smell the Earth Spirit Mushroom?

I put those items into my spatial storage a long time ago, didn't I?
