"Yes." Uncle Feng was a bit anxious. He held up the white jade bottle in his hand and shook it: "He gave me this, saying that if it was consumed properly, it can slow the suffocation."

The servant girl in red took the bottle and pulled out the stopper, putting it on her nose to smell it.

With this sniff, the scent of plants and vegetation pierced through the air.

"Four Embroidered Awareness Pill."

These five words came out of his mouth in a shallow manner, and his tone carried a sense of exhaustion.

Uncle Feng had never heard of this pill before, but the fact that it was given a name proved that it was indeed an aphrodisiac.

Hong Jie'er had heard of this name before, and after pausing for a while, her hands suddenly started to tremble, and his expression became somewhat strange as he asked: "B-but that … that King of Quan person mentioned before … "Four Embroidered Universities …"

Ji Xiaqiu looked at her and nodded.

Hong Jie'er's usual cold and stern face revealed an uncontrollable joy, which was quickly followed by doubt, "That King of Quan clearly said that three of the raw materials for this medicine have already become extinct, not just within the borders of the Greencloud Kingdom, but even the surrounding nations have been unable to find it, so how is that possible …"

More than twenty years had passed since the leader of the studio's martial arts were crippled.

When Hong Jie'er found out that the leader of the studio also had a body full of martial arts, the leader of the studio was already a person who became weak from constant headaches, angina pectoris, pain here and there.

Hong Jie'er had once asked, a cripple for more than twenty years, her body becoming worse every day, was there still any hope for such a person.

Everyone said there was no saving him. It had been too long since he recovered. The root of his body had been worn out. He would not be able to recover.

That uninvited guest, the King of Quan, always wanted to look for the leader of the studio. Hong Jie'er didn't like him very much, but at the same time, she found out about something from him.

It was something she was most concerned about.

The body of the leader of the studio was treatable.

After more than twenty years of blocked meridians, the only way for an ordinary person to break through the inner Qi stagnation that was unimaginable was by removing energy from their body.

Internal disease is different from external disease. Not to mention dredging the meridians, even an ordinary doctor would not be able to find any problems if you didn't mention it.

But Hong Jie'er knew that since this King of Quan had said she could be cured, then she must be able to be cured.

The King of Quan called a few senior doctors over. It was said that all of them were godly doctors that would never appear in the outside world. Two of them had retired from the Imperial Hospital, and one of them was the teacher of the three imperial physicians serving in the imperial court.

Each of them had a greater background than the other. They had all checked the pulse of the leader of the studio and answered that the root of the illness could be cured, but they lacked a medicine.

Although it was said to be lacking one pill, it was in fact lacking three herbs. It was definitely not a simple matter to make the "Four Embroidered Awareness Pill" that was mentioned in the ancient book.

This time, as he was leaving the residence, Hong Jie'er was not willing. Because before he came, leader of the studio's body had already started to feel unwell.

But just then, news came from the capital, saying that the Young Master had gone to the capital. Thus, Hong Jie'er was unable to stop him and the leader of the studio wanted to personally go to the capital.

On the way there, leader of the studio's angina pecker did not cause too much trouble, but because of the bad weather, she had caught a cold.

Just a moment ago, she was still regretting in her heart, regretting that she did not take care of leader of the studio properly, and also regretting that she did not stop him anymore.

But now, she felt that all of this was fated to happen. The Four Embroidered Uniform Pill that had long gone extinct was actually so easily obtainable?

Happiness came too quickly, and there were too many impossibilities contained within it. This made Hong Jie'er not dare to be too excited, she was only afraid of sadness from extreme joy.

In the white jade bottle, there were only three pills.

Ji Xiaqiu saw the joy in Hong Jie'er and Uncle Feng's eyes, but also saw the fear in them. She placed the bottle down and asked: "That young master, what age is he?"

Hong Jie'er recalled, and immediately said: "Around twenty, I think. He looks very young."

Ji Xiaqiu asked again: "What does he look like?"

"Very handsome, gentle and refined, with the appearance of a scholar." Hong Jie'er described.

Ji Xiaqiu laughed instead. She remembered that Rong Huang had once told her in private that there were thousands and thousands of doctors in the world, and he had searched all over the Greencloud Continent for people who could be called divine doctors to diagnose her. But there was only one missing person.

That person was from the Jiangnan Qujiang County, and was known to have extraordinary abilities. He could open a person's belly, rule a person's life, and his methods were unpredictable and resourceful. This person was surnamed Liu, and was known as the Godly Doctor Liu.

But more people loved calling him sir.

Because this person's real job was not to set up a clinic to treat the illness, but to enter the court and cut people's corpses.

King of Quan said that he should at least try his best. Should she bring this person over for her to see?

Ji Xiaqiu rejected, but she did not say the reason.

King of Quan did not ask, but perhaps, he knew that even if he knew about her, she would not have the courage to see her own daughter.

The white jade bottle on the table was translucent. Ji Xiaqiu looked at it for a long time as a faint smile appeared in her eyes.

It was just a passing thought.

Her fingers caressed the sides of the porcelain bottle. Her movements were so gentle that it was as if she was caressing a baby's face.

In fact, the baby's face, as a mother, had only been touched once. Now that he wanted to recall it again, he could no longer remember that feeling.

… ….

On the other side.

In the narrow cell, a murky smell filled his nose.

Liu Mo could not remember how many days he had smelled this smell. It was wet, stinky and carried a sour taste.

He opened his eyes and slowly sat up from the pile of hay. He leaned against the dirty wall and looked at the half-crippled man in the cell. After a moment, he retracted his gaze.

The large man opposite him seemed to have also seen Liu Mo looking at him. His cold and venomous eyes swept across him before he turned his body back to the wall and fell asleep.

Liu Mo was actually woken up by the noise. An hour ago, the cell door in front of him opened and the large man who lived across from him was taken away. When he returned, the stench was even stronger.

Liu Mo knew that the man's leg was completely rotten. The smell of rotting flesh might be mixed with something else.

The punishments that prison wardens usually use are the same. Put a soldering iron on the wound which has become festering. It makes you feel pain and wish that you were dead.

It was cruel, but it was effective.

On the opposite side of the prison lived a great bandit. He looted and robbed, and committed many crimes. He had been a bandit for ten years, and had killed over a hundred people.

A few days ago, after he went into ambushes, some of the family members left behind by the principals came to the Qingzhou yamen and helped them get rid of the money.

From the second day onwards, the burly man was tortured for two hours every day. One hour in the morning and one hour in the evening, he was not trying to force anything out of the man.

It had been almost ten days since he was sent to prison. Every day, when Liu Mo woke up, he would see such a scene and smell such a deathly aura. From the start, he was unable to accept it and now, he had gotten used to it.

"Time to eat." The guard's voice came from afar.

Then, the journey was over.

By the time Liu Mo arrived, the rice bucket had already been lowered by half and a bowl had been placed outside of the railing. Then, someone scooped out a spoonful of soup, vegetable leaves, and rice from the bucket into the bowl.

This was breakfast. After eating this meal, it would be night time for the next meal.

Liu Mo extended his hand and carefully moved the bowl inside. Staring at the inexhaustible food, he fiercely closed his eyes and picked up a piece of leaf with his hand and put it into his mouth.

It looked bad, and it did smell bad, but perhaps it was too cold to spoil it.

Better than being hungry.

In the first two days, Liu Mo did not eat. However, because he was dragged out to do some work, he had no choice but to eat. If he did not eat, he would not be able to last much longer.

This was the daily routine for those facing the death penalty. The date of his execution was ten days later.
