  Summary

  Of course Li Lianhua would expend his own life to save Yun Biqiu, how could he not have known that? Fang Duobing was angry at himself, so easily falling to the bait set out to send him away once again. But then the Wangchuan flower was gone and Li Lianhua was choosing death to ensure the King spared his family's lives too.

  In moments of desperation, Fang Duobing thought back to his research of a particular method that he had once theorised of back in Tianji Manor before the whole battle with Shan Gudao had spun into motion.

  Summary

  The morning after the flare up of the Bicha poison, Li Lianhua had barely risen from his straw mat in the drafty woodshed before rubbing his temples gingerly.

  Despite making his reluctance to move very clear to the one sitting at his bedside, he was still dragged off by a cranky Fang Duobing to Xiaoyuan city's hot springs - famed for their health benefits and healing properties.
