just right

Xu Yanfu rushed into the room in a hurry. Yingchun behind him spoke out several times but did not attract Xu Yan's attention.

Xu Yan quickly changed his clothes while saying to Yingchun: "Whoever comes to me today will say that I have something to see. Have you heard it?"

Yingchun saw her in such a hurry and remembered that today was the last day for Peng Yue to detoxify Lu Huai. Yingchun hurriedly said, "Yes, I have written it down." Xu Yan did not say anything, stuffed the changed court robes into Yingchun's arms, and ran out with her skirt.

Along the way, the palace people only felt a gust of wind coming, as if a beautiful figure ran past them, and when they looked back, they only had a faint smell of tea in the air. Xu Yan felt that she had used all her strength in her life to run forward, and the surrounding scenery retreated rapidly, but she still felt that it was not fast enough.

Finally, the plaque in my memory appeared in front of her. Xu Yan stood on the door frame and gasped, then gritted her teeth and walked in. There was a quiet atmosphere inside the room, with only the medicine boiled on the stove making a few boiling sounds from time to time.

Ping Qing and Peng Yue sat opposite each other, with the prepared medicine bowl and dagger on the table. Seeing Xu Yan come in, they all looked at her. Xu Yan took a deep breath, pressed down his heavy breathing and said, "How is it, is it starting?"

Peng Yue smiled and shook her head: "Not yet, you're here just in time."

Xu Yan immediately relaxed his expression, sighed and walked to Peng Yue to sit down. Peng Yue looked at her appearance and comforted her, "Why do you feel even more nervous than me?"

Xu Yan gave Peng Yue a angrily look: "If you have something, the blame will naturally not fall on you. But I will be miserable. Then I will not be charged with any crime of not reporting it. Besides, if Peng Shangshu and his wife and Peng Xing know, they should blame me?"

Peng Yue's smile was a little calmer, and said with a look of apology on her face: "We have troubled you."

Seeing her like this, Xu Yan immediately patted her hands and comforted her: "What are you thinking about? Lu Huai and I are my friends. How can you help me if something happens to my friend? Besides, today is the last day. I have been here safely for so many days before, so there will definitely be no trouble today."

Peng Yue stopped talking, and the last smile on her face disappeared because of the "last day" in Xu Yan's mouth. Xu Yan immediately winked at Ping Qing, and the meaning of asking for help in his eyes was clearly visible.

Ping Qing rolled his eyes at Xu Yan: "It's really a pot that doesn't open. Don't make trouble. Just stay by your side and don't speak out, it's a big help." Xu Yan knew that she was in the wrong, so she didn't say anything again.

The medicine that had been on the stove suddenly boiled, and a few drops of medicine were splashed and fell on the stove that was burning red, making a "sizzling" sound. Ping Qing hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to check the condition of the medicine, and then heard his hoarse voice coming: "Okay, let's start."

Xu Yan looked at Peng Yue subconsciously, and saw that Peng Yue still had a soft smile on her face, but her trembling hands revealed her panic and fearful mood. Xu Yan gently covered her hand and silently comforted Peng Yue. Peng Yue turned around and gave Xu Yan a thankful smile, then picked up the dagger on the table.

Everything was like the first time detoxification, but everyone's mood had earth-shaking changes. Not only Peng Yue, but also Xu Yan and Pingqing were extremely nervous.

This was Xu Yan's second and last time, watching Peng Yue detoxify Lu Huai. So much so that when Peng Yue lifted her sleeves, the deep scar on her wrist instantly shocked Xu Yan. The ugly scar winded around Peng Yue's white wrist. The wound that had not healed for many days was dark red, making Xu Yan unable to bear to look at it again.

Peng Yue put the dagger up as if he knew nothing and scratched it again. The moment he scratched it, Peng Yue was so painful that tears flowed out. Seeing this, Ping Qing hurriedly picked up the medicine juice that had been prepared on the side and rushed down Peng Yue's wound, causing Peng Yue's face to twist into a ball in pain.

Xu Yan asked with some helplessness: "What medicine is this? Why does Peng Yue feel so painful this time?"

Ping Qing's movements did not stop. The blood and medicine on Peng Yue's wrist were mixed with the medicine and flowed into the blank porcelain bowl, charming and weird. He frowned and said, "Today I will pour this special medicine on her to lure the insect out of the boy's body. Since the boy has been killed by her blood for so many days, the insect will also be dependent on Peng Yue. It would be best to use the medicine to lure it out and kill it."

Xu Yan nodded and continued to look at the cruel scene in front of him, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Lu Huai, who was originally lying quietly on the bed, suddenly began to twitch. Ping Qing immediately handed the medicine bowl to Xu Yan and said, "Hurry! Keep pouring the soup on this girl, I'll draw out the insect!" Xu Yan didn't have time to react at all, and there was already a heavy soup bowl of medicine in his hand.

She did not dare to relax at all. She recalled the actions of Ping Qing when she was just pouring medicine, and poured the medicine on Peng Yue's wrist. Unexpectedly, Peng Yue suddenly let out a pain at this time. Xu Yan was not prepared for her, and her hands shivered and sprinkled most of the medicine. Ping Qing was untiing Lu Huai's clothes, and the tip of the knife cut a hole in his wrist. The insect kept moving towards his wrist in the direction of the blood flowing out.

Seeing that the Gu insect suddenly slowed down, Ping Qing shouted to Xu Yan: "What are you doing? No matter how Peng Yue shouted you, don't stop! Just spray the medicine!"

Xu Yan had already cheered up now, and controlled the flow rate of the medicine with his hands tightly, and said to Ping Qing: "I accidentally sprinkled most of the time just now. I can't spray as much as you did just now!"

Ping Qing stared at the movements of the Gu worm and replied impatiently: "It's okay, I have prepared enough medicine. The Gu worm is moving very fast now. As long as it moves at this speed, there is no fear that it won't come out!"

Xu Yan nodded and followed Ping Qing's instructions to continue his actions. Xu Yan watched the soup in the bowl continue to decrease, and said to Ping Qing anxiously: "Is it okay? The soup is really gone!"

Only Ping Qing's excited voice came: "It's almost done! Girl, hold on! I've seen the worm pop up!"

Xu Yan calmed down and tried hard to tell herself not to hurry, and it would end smoothly. She looked up at Peng Yue's situation and found that her lips were pale and her whole body was shaking, relying on her strong willpower to force it.

Just when everyone thought it was about to succeed, the last drop of the decoction in Xu Yan's bowl fell on Peng Yue's wrist. The worm that was about to come out quickly swam into Lu Huai's body without the temptation of the decoction.

Seeing this, Ping Qing hurriedly shouted at Xu Yan angrily: "What are you doing? Do you want them to die?!"

Xu Yan was about to cry out at this moment, and she held the medicine bowl tightly and said to Ping Qing: "I just said that the medicine is almost gone. You kept saying it was okay, just follow the flow rate."

Peng Yue fell back weakly, and Xu Yan quickly caught her with quick eyes and hands. Peng Yue forced her to hold up her body and said, "Don't argue, are you a failure now? What should I do?"

Ping Qinghei's deep face seemed to indicate a bad ending. He looked at Xu Yan and Peng Yue, and sighed, "Now we can only use the most dangerous move."

Xu Yan frowned and asked, "What?"

Ping Qing looked at Peng Yue deeply, then said, "Use Peng Yue's pure blood as bait to lure the Gu worm out. However, doing so may cause the Gu worm to transfer to Peng Yue."
