C4 Five days as a slave

When Xie Poyan returned to the manor, he was just in time for the marquis' poison to act up again. Fortunately, he was able to suppress the poison in time.

"Doctor Lin, do you have any other methods to cure the poison?" Xie Poyan watched the unconscious Marquis Xie, his heart filled with worry.

Doctor Lin came to the Xie Clan a year ago, and it was precisely because of his high medical skills that he managed to suppress the poison within the Marquis Xie's body time and time again.

"To reply Esteemed Empress Dowager, this old and useless one really has no antidote for poison, but ?" Doctor Lin paused for a moment before glancing at Xie Poyan. "But there's still a way."

Hearing that there was a way, Xie Poyan's face lit up. "Doctor Lin, quickly tell me."

Doctor Lin stroked his white beard and said, "A jade stone can cure a hundred poisons and is considered a sacred treasure of the Doctor's family. If I can obtain the jade stone, the poison in Master Hou's body will definitely be cured."

"Since that's the case, I'll immediately send someone to look for him!" Xie Poyan quickly opened his mouth to speak, but the moment he did, he heard a voice filled with anger come from outside the door.

"There's no need to look for him!"

Xie Poyan was stunned. "Big brother?"

Xie Pingzhou walked in quickly and looked at the marquis on the bed before saying, "Doctor Lin has already told me about the jade. I went to look for it too."

"Has the young duke found anything?" Dr. Lin frowned.

"There was originally a location, but I never thought that someone would beat me to it!" Xie Pingzhou gritted his teeth as he spoke.

For the sake of the jade stone, he had searched for a whole month, and in the end, had allowed others to beat him to it.

Xie Poyan frowned. "Big brother, do you know who that person is?" Could you discuss it with that person and lend us the jade first? "

Xie Pingzhou looked at his sister with a conflicted expression. After a moment of silence, he answered, "That person was Gu Wujing!"

This name couldn't be more familiar. Xie Poyan's heart trembled, it was actually Gu Wujing.

Seeing Xie Poyan's pale face, Xie Pingzhou couldn't help but feel annoyed. Back then, even if others didn't know about the matter between A-Yan and Gu Wujing, he still knew about it as an older brother. "Ah Yan, don't be in such a hurry. I'll set off tomorrow and look for him somewhere else."

"It's too late." Doctor Lin shook his head, "The Marquis' poison is acting up again today. If anything were to happen, this old man's medical skills might not be able to suppress it."

Gu Shaoyan had clearly expected that Xie Poyan would come to the Residence of Regent.

"Tell me, what must I do for you to give me the jade?" Xie Poyan frowned. She didn't believe that this was just a coincidence.

Gu Wujing looked at the slightly angry Xie Poyan and sneered. "Does Esteemed Empress Dowager plan on coming here today to use her status and power to demand more?"

"Heh, if we're talking about power, in the current Dong Chen, who can compare to the Regent!" Xie Poyan mocked him lightly. Even if it was Feng Cheng, he could still be called the little emperor in contempt, let alone a rather awkward empress dowager like himself.

"Xie Poyan, I really want to know, do you regret it?" Gu Wujing stared fixedly at Xie Poyan. Back then, she had not hesitated to abandon him and enter the palace for the sake of the Xie Clan's power and influence. But now, almost all of Dong Chen was in his hands.

Lifting his head, Xie Poyan faced Gu Shaojing with his arrogant and disdainful gaze. His heart ached, and he stubbornly said, "I don't regret it."

For some matters, since she had made her choice, she would not regret it.

He retracted his gaze from Xie Poyan and sneered, "You want the jasper stone? Use the empress dowager's authority as your servant for five days, what do you say?"
