Chapter 2854: Chapter 2855: Temporarily Awake
"Is he poisoned? Why has he become like this?" Jing Shuang asked.
Gao Zhou quickly went over to take his pulse, his brows furrowing tightly, "It’s poisoning. It’s hard to detoxify. If only Ruozhu were here..."
He wasn’t skilled at detoxification, but if Ruozhu were here, it wouldn’t be a problem.
"Let’s use the Detoxification Pills Ruozhu formulated first." Jiang Yichun took out the Detoxification Pills and placed them in Bai Zehao’s mouth.
Unexpectedly, Bai Zehao suddenly gritted his teeth fiercely, biting hard onto Jiang Yichun’s fingers. If Jiang Yichun hadn’t had quick reflexes, such a firm bite wouldn’t just break fingers but also expose the bone.
Everyone inhaled sharply. Bai Zehao was usually such a gentle person—how did he become like this?
In the Space, Bai Ruozhu was also watching, her heart startled. She knew the Detoxification Pills only temporarily stalled the poison, making her anxious.
She’d read about this type of poison in the "Poison Classic." It’s called Frenzy and initially makes people lose consciousness, pursuing red things like burning flames.
This explains why Bai Zehao walked towards the Fierce Fire.
But that’s just the beginning. Without detoxification, people become more agitated, harming anything around them, even their closest loved ones, failing to recognize their spouse and children.
Frenzy is a hard poison to cure. At the very least, Detoxification Pills are useless. They can solely delay it temporarily.
No, she must find a way to save her brother, preventing him from becoming a brutal, mindless person.
"Xiaohui, you must learn to write the formulas with me. You absolutely have to learn them." Bai Ruozhu instructed.
"Formulas?" Xiaohui trembled and replied, "I can’t learn them."
Two words already gave it a hard time, taking so long to learn. If it were formulas, how many words would there be?
"You must learn them; it’s life-saving!" Bai Ruozhu said fiercely.
Xiaohui whimpered, as Bai Ruozhu, anxious burning like fire, couldn’t bother whether it learned or not, pulled Xiaohei into Space, teaching Xiaohui while letting Xiaohui relay to Xiaohei.
But after fifteen minutes, neither learned a single word.
A formula requires numerous words. How long will this take? Her brother can’t wait any longer!
Bai Ruozhu had to abandon them, trying other ways to take a pen, only for her hand to pass through it every time, unable to grasp it.
Another fifteen minutes passed, and she cried out impatiently, "Why? Why can’t I do anything!"
She soared out of the Space in anger, diving into her body.
With a whooshing sound, she felt like she entered a hole, too fast; she barely had time to sense it.
In the next second, she found herself with open eyes, only to feel shivering cold, teeth clattering uncontrollably.
Did she return to her body? Just like this?
Too amazing, she dared not believe it, promptly sitting up from the bed.
"Master, you, you..." Yizi jumped in fright, stammering to speak.
"Not a ghost, I’ll figure out a way to detoxify my brother first," she said swiftly, then took out medicinal materials to prepare.
Those discussing outside rushed into the room upon hearing the commotion. Seeing Bai Ruozhu alive, they all rejoiced one by one.
"Ruozhu!" Jiang Yichun dashed over, disregarding others around, hugging Bai Ruozhu tightly.
"Stop it, I’m making medicine to save my brother, his poisoning is a tricky matter," Bai Ruozhu remarked without turning her head.
Jiang Yichun felt a pang in his heart. He cared so much for her, yet she treated him coldly?
But he knew saving her brother was vital, suppressing his intense longing.
"Ruozhu’s awake, this is great, so great!" Chushuang said, bursting into tears.
Little Dengdeng ran over, hugging Bai Ruozhu’s leg, "Mom, I knew you weren’t dead; I missed you so much."
Bai Ruozhu freed a hand to stroke Little Dengdeng’s head, saying, "Mom missed you too; Dengdeng is the best, the first to find out mom’s alive."
Little Dengdeng smiled proudly, and Bai Ruozhu hurriedly said, "Watch mom mix the medicine; let’s detoxify your uncle together."
"Okay, uncle’s poison is really scary; I can’t even look," Little Dengdeng muttered.
Bai Ruozhu explained as she prepared the medicine, "This poison is called Frenzy, making people gradually lose their minds, turning into aggressive monsters; we must detoxify quickly."
She explained bit by bit, everyone immersed in the joy of her revival, afraid of disturbing her medicine preparation, quietly standing aside.
However, everyone noticed her form appeared somewhat shadowed, as if she was overlapped with another.
"Alright, the medicine is prepared, but it needs Decoction. That’s up to Yizi." Bai Ruozhu glanced at Yizi, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying.
"Alright, Master, I’ll go right away..."
Yizi hadn’t even finished speaking when she watched Bai Ruozhu fall.
Actually, Bai Ruozhu remained standing, but her body fell.
That means she separated from her body again!
Everyone could no longer see her, only her fallen body, quickly rushing over.
She looked surprised at the body, at everyone, then at her hands passing through things again; she understood her return to the body could only sustain for a certain time.
Feeling unwilling, she repeatedly tried to return to the body, trying time after time until Jiang Yichun carried the body back to the cold jade bed, yet she failed again.
"Master, the fire has been extinguished," a guard came to report.
Jiang Yichun hardly cared about any fire in the Residence, not even glancing at the guard, solely staring at Bai Ruozhu as if wishing she’d open her eyes.
"I’ll go call Jing Shuang and ask," Gao Zhou hurriedly ran outside.
Outside, Bai Zehao suddenly howled, attempting to attack the guard beside him.
Realizing these events, Jiang Yichun told Yizi, "Go decoct the medicine; Ruozhu is worried about her brother’s safety. Don’t let her down."
"Alright, alright, I’ll go now." Yizi quickly took the prepared medicine and rushed out.
Jing Shuang quickly arrived, knowing about Bai Ruozhu’s revival on the way, checking and saying, "Her soul returned to her body, but because her soul is unstable, it couldn’t completely merge with her body and went out again."
As she spoke, she activated that kind of Talisman, soon letting everyone see Bai Ruozhu’s blurry shadow.
Bai Ruozhu quickly waved at Jiang Yichun, gesturing she was fine, telling him not to worry too much; eager to return to her body, there might be a second time, and perhaps gradually it would get better.
She clasped her hands together, placing them beside her face, making a "sleep" gesture.
Jiang Yichun’s eyes reddened, "Don’t worry about me; I’ll surely take good care of myself. You must keep fighting, come back and stay with us soon."
Bai Ruozhu nodded at him, making a "fighting" gesture, then her figure faded away.
The Talisman burned to ashes, Jing Shuang’s face looking somewhat grim, her body swaying involuntarily.
"Is it harming you?" Gao Zhou asked hastily.
