"Second Brother, don't be stubborn. If you still recognize me as your sister, hand over the antidote!" Shen Yehong said directly, "I don't want you to fall out with them!"
Shen Tian stood aside, hesitated for a long time, and then took out a pill: "This is an antidote! I didn't intend to take his life."
Shen Yehong snatched the pill and left the hall directly. He was not interested in what Shen Tian said and was even angry. He never expected his second brother to do such a thing, which made him even more displeased.
Shen Tian had no explanation. He knew that it was too late for any explanation now, and it would be of no use.
In the First Prince's palace, Lu Fan waited for a long time before seeing Shen Yehong's figure: "How is it?"
"It's in hand, let's go to Shenxianju!"
After Shen Yehong finished speaking, he pulled Lu Fan and headed out of the imperial palace, his expression becoming more solemn. If Liu Li had any trouble because of this, how would he explain it to Tongtian Academy? In the hearts of Lu Fan and the others, it would leave a shadow.
Watching Lu Fan leave, the First Prince let out a faint sneer: "Second Brother, Second Brother, I never thought you would dare to be so reckless! What a pity that it ended in failure!"
"After this incident, these people from Tongtian Academy will probably not get too close to the Second Prince!" a guard said, "This way, the First Prince will not have to fear anyone else!"
"I never had to fear anyone!" the First Prince said calmly, "However, being able to cause a rift between them is the best outcome for me."
Meanwhile, in Shenxianju, Bi Yao sealed Liu Li's blood, her expression becoming serious. This poison was no ordinary one. Liu Li was already at the Heavenly Venerate realm, yet she was still poisoned, which was enough to show the terror of this poison.
Entering the room, Lu Fan took out a pill and gave it to Liu Li, feeling anxious in his heart.
"It's all my fault, I wasn't careful enough to look after you,"
Shen Yehong blamed himself, "I didn't expect the royal struggle to implicate you."
"This matter has nothing to do with you!" Lu Fan said directly, "It was your second brother's doing!"
Shen Yehong's face flushed, but he had no way to argue. Hearing Lu Fan's words, he seemed to be quite dissatisfied with his second brother.
After taking the antidote, Liu Li gradually woke up, but she still looked very weak, clearly due to the poison.
"Liu Li, it's all my fault for not protecting you and letting my second brother do this."
Shen Yehong said guiltily, "But don't worry, I promise that from now on, within the imperial city, I will never let such a thing happen again!"
"Was this the Second Prince's doing?"
Liu Li was somewhat surprised, "Why would he send people to deal with us?"
"It's all because of the royal struggle. If it weren't for that, my second brother wouldn't have been so foolish!" Shen Yehong explained repeatedly.
"Even if it's a royal struggle, it's fine if he wants to deal with us," Lu Fan said directly, "But if there's a next time, I will definitely make your second brother pay the price!"
"Understood!"
Shen Yehong nodded slightly, his face flushing, and he felt awkward.
"You don't need to put too much pressure on yourself, this matter is not your doing!"
Bi Qing said, "Since it was your second brother who did it, then it's your second brother's problem. You don't need to take it too much to heart!"
"Of course, I know!"
Bi Qing nodded slightly, "But no matter what, he is still a member of the royal family. Now that he has done such a thing, I also have an undeniable responsibility."
"I don't blame you for this matter, but you still must remind your brothers!" Lu Fan said directly, "Although they are members of the royal family, they should also abide by the rules. Treating human lives as cheap will ultimately lead to trouble."
"I will truthfully convey your message!"
Shen Yehong quickly nodded, not daring to delay at all. This matter originated from their royal family, and he was indeed responsible.
During these few days, they stayed in Shenxianju and did not move around casually. Liu Li's spirits had recovered considerably and she was not in any serious condition.
Bi Qing returned from outside, a look of joy in his eyes: "I just received news that the Second Master of the Gu family, Gu Yuntong, has returned and is currently in the imperial city!"
"Then we can make our move!" Liu Li exclaimed with joy, "We've waited for so long in the imperial city, and finally the opportunity has come!"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Lu Fan shook his head, "Don't you know? The Gu family has a Sage. If we really make a move, it will be disadvantageous for us!"
"If that's the case, what should we do?"
Liu Li frowned, "This is a rare opportunity."
"We can capture the young master of the Gu family and take him outside the imperial city!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "Then ask the Second Master of the Gu family to come and redeem him! This way, we can catch them all at once. As for the Sage of the Gu family, he won't be able to react in time."
"This plan is good, but what if the Gu family's Sage comes out?"
Bi Qing worried, "Such things are not groundless rumors, but real."
"The Gu family only has one Sage. How would they easily dispatch him!" Lu Fan chuckled, "Besides, even if a Sage comes, we don't need to fear him."
Liu Li was slightly stunned, her eyes shifting. Especially Lu Fan's words earlier were quite meaningful, leaving him quite puzzled.
"Junior Brother Lu Fan, you're speaking metaphorically. How can I understand?"
Bi Qing smiled, "Could it be that you can fight against a Sage?"
"I don't know how strong a Sage's power is, so I don't have that certainty yet," Lu Fan shook his head. "However, if a Sage really appears, I might be able to resist for a while, at least I won't let you all be held back!"
"I really didn't expect you to be so confident."
Liu Li was amazed, "Back then, at Shenji Mountain, I knew you were no ordinary person. It seems my guess was correct."
"Enough said, let's act now!" Lu Fan said directly, "I will go capture Gu Hai, and you will spread the news. After one hour, we will meet at Shilipo, ten miles outside the imperial city!"
Bi Qing nodded slightly, "In that case, Junior Brother, be careful!"
"Don't worry!" Lu Fan nodded slightly.
Meanwhile, in a tavern, Gu Hai was indulging in wine with a group of prodigal sons, looking quite extravagant. Beside him, he had women on both sides, each of them exceptionally beautiful, the cream of the crop.
As the young master of the Gu family, he enjoyed this kind of life. Therefore, he was nicknamed the "Flower-Picking Young Master," and his reputation in the entire imperial city was not good. If it weren't for the Gu family's backing, he would have been assassinated long ago.
