The Healer's Cure (Love In The Realms) #Bonus novel Chapter 12

"Fen Qin, can you save her?" Xue Yahui looked to Fen Qin. Fen Qin looked to the woman was really looking pale.

"Bring her in." Fen Qin had the woman laid down in the guest room's bed. "Lord Xue, please remain outside." Fen Qin informed him, going back into the room. Fen Qin had Zeng Mingzhu help her with getting some herbs and materials. Grabbing her needles, she was going to try her best since there was something wrong with her pulse. There was another beat, but it wasn't exactly hers. "What were you thinking?" Fen Qin looked to the woman before her who laid down unconscious.

Xue Yahui had been looking up what had happened which he did find that the merchants had gone another path due to some issues with taking a certain pathway. The missing people had either fallen down the cliff of another pathway they took or they were ambushed. There wasn't much information, but Xue Yahui assumed that they had likely been ambushed along the way.

Looking through it for a month, it was a good progress in his head. "I have to tell Jiang Gen about this." He would still meet up with Jiang Gen from time to time even though he had been dismissed from his duty. Xue Yahui would see him time to time doing little jobs.

Reaching Jiang Gen's home, he didn't see anyone answering the door. Although, the doors were not locked so he went on ahead inside. "Tao Jinjing? Jiang Gen?" Xue Yahui looked around until he came to a stop seeing an unconscious woman in the ground. "Tao Jinjing?!" Seeing how weak and pale she looked. He saw a small bowl in her hand which he caught the scent knowing it had poison in it.

Rushing to Fen Qin's home, he needed to save her. He didn't want her to die along with leaving Jiang Gen sadden.

Waiting now for Fen Qin, he has already sent a message to Jiang Gen about his sister-in-law. "Lord Xue?! What happened?!" Jiang Gen tried going into the room, but Xue Yahui stopped him.

"We cannot go in yet. We have to wait until they are done." Xue Yahui had Jiang Gen sit down knowing how impatient he was at that moment.

"It's my fault. I didn't take better care of her." Jiang Gen blamed himself when Xue Yahui couldn't really say anything. They didn't know the true story behind for what had happened to Tao Jinjing. Exiting out of the room, Fen Qin sighed feeling exhausted.

"How is she?" Jiang Gen rushed over to Fen Qin who stared at him. "She's fine. She'll wake up soon so you can stay in the room with her. Although, I do wish to ask her something when she wakes up." Fen Qin wiped her head with a handkerchief. Going into the medicine room, Fen Qin had no choice. She had to use the only sample she had since the poison in Tao Jinjing's body was almost like the Tomb Spite, but less dangerous to some extent. "I'm sorry, Sister Qi."

Fen Qin looked to the empty jar that had the sample of the antidote. "Are you alright?" Xue Yahui entered inside the room. Seeing how Fen Qin looked a bit distress.

"I'm fine. Shouldn't you be checking up on that woman?" Fen Qin didn't know what both of them had, but she didn't bother to ask.

"Don't try to misunderstand us. I'm merely just a friend of her brother's. She already has a husband." Xue Yahui eyed Fen Qin who still showed no sign of care about their relationship. "What was in that jar before?"

Fen Qin looked to the jar that her hand was on. "It was nothing. It had an antidote that I used, but also what I've been working on." Putting the jar back, she couldn't be angered since it was important to use at that moment. "Oh, do you perhaps grow Grain Ivy?" Fen Qin looked to Xue Yahui who stared back at her.

"I've heard of it. I've tried as well to grow it once, but failed. I'm not sure if you can find any, but I do know a few places that can have it." Xue Yahui looked to Fen Qin who was asking him about the rare herb. "Why do you need it?"
