The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 371

Shangguan Ziling said: "On the table next to you, each of you take a medical book and a poison book, go back and study them carefully. In half a month, I will test your results. Of course, if you don't learn well, you will be punished."

The three of them were stunned. A medical book and a book on poisons. They were asked to go back and study them by themselves, and they only had half a month?

"Master, isn't the time a little too tight?" Han Xiaoxiao asked.

Shangguan Ziling waved the powder in her hand at the three people, and they instantly jumped back, but some powder was still on their bodies.

The three looked at Shangguan Ziling in confusion. Shangguan Ziling smiled gently and said, "What you have on you is poison powder. You can find a way to detoxify it in medical books, right? This poison will not harm your lives, but after an hour, you will know what it means to be worse than death."

"Ah, no, Master, so cruel?" Han Xiaoxiao shouted.

Xiao Jinyu, Qiu Ze and Han Xiaoxiao stood in front of her. Shangguan Ziling's clear and pleasant voice struck the hearts of the three people like a bolt from the blue. Their faces turned pale instantly, as if all their strength had been taken away, and their eyes were full of anxiety.

"Why don't you go back and detoxify yourself? Do you want to wait for the poison to take effect before detoxifying? Remember, you can only detoxify yourself. If I find out that someone else is detoxifying you..." Shangguan Ziling's tone was light, but full of threats.

The three of them were startled when they heard this and immediately ran out of the Regent's Palace.

There were still many people discussing at the gate of the Prince Regent's Palace, and then they saw three people running out like crazy. "Hey, these three people were favored by the Princess Regent and accepted as disciples. What's wrong with these three people? Shouldn't they be happy? Why are they running with panicked faces!"

The people were talking about the three of them.

At this time, the palace steward came out and said, "The princess has finished recruiting disciples, everyone can go home now!"

At this time, the people left in groups of two or three.

The three of them did not return to their respective residences. Instead, they ran to the pharmacy where Qiu Ze's father worked. The three of them split up and searched in the room. One of them looked at the front, one looked from the last page, and the other started from the middle.

They began to study medical books, trying to find a way to detoxify.

However, the poison in their bodies has not yet taken effect, they have no idea what poison they have been poisoned by, and time is running out. They must find a solution as soon as possible.

When Doctor Qiu saw his son coming back with his two friends, he stayed in the room at the backyard of the pharmacy. No one knew what he was doing. Just now, he heard from a good friend that his son was favored by the Regent Princess and was accepted as an apprentice.

Doctor Qiu was very happy for his son, but not long after, his son came back in panic with two people, and refused to be disturbed. What was going on?

"Princess, why do you poison your own disciple right after accepting him?" Qiu Kui said with lingering fear.

Shangguan Ziling said: "Only when people are pushed to their limits will their unlimited potential be stimulated."

Qiu Kui shuddered. Fortunately, she was not qualified to be the princess's apprentice, otherwise she would have to suffer a lot first!

"Princess, do you think the three of them can detoxify before the poison takes effect?" Xia Yu asked curiously.

"will not!"

"Ah, they are so pitiful. After the poison took effect, they had to endure the pain brought by the poison while looking for an antidote." Xia Yu felt a little sympathetic towards the three of them.

Shangguan Ziling was also looking forward to seeing how long it would take her three disciples to detoxify.

"Master, aren't you afraid that your apprentice will abandon you? Isn't it too cruel to poison your apprentice just after he became your disciple?"

"Little Fatty, haven't you heard that a teacher is a father for life? If they choose to leave the sect because of this, I will simply think that they are not worthy of being my apprentice!"

"Master, why do you say that?"

“To study medicine, the first thing you need is talent, and the second is perseverance; both are indispensable.”

Xue Zhiyan stepped forward and said, "Princess, I have settled those seventeen people in the backyard of the pharmacy."

"Oh! You teach them. I, the princess, will also give them some guidance when I am free," said Shangguan Ziling.

Xue Zhiyan was puzzled and asked, "Since the princess has accepted disciples, why do you still keep them?"

Shangguan Ziling said: "You should train them well, maybe they can play a big role in the future! Tell them that if they stay, they must be loyal. If they have any ulterior motives, it is not too late to leave now. Once they are discovered later, it will be difficult for them to leave."

"Well, I will go and give them a beating," said Xue Zhiyan.
