With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

If a man has a child out of wedlock, the child is considered an illegitimate child or a child born to a mistress in the eyes of the world.

Such a child is not even as good as a concubine's son in the family. He has a lowly status and without the consent of the mistress, he may not even be able to be included in the family genealogy. He will be looked down upon and scorned by people outside, and ostracized and beaten by his brothers and sisters at home. Even the servants dare to bully him.

If this is the case for ordinary families, how much more so for royalty who have rules and hierarchy ingrained in their very being.

Thinking of this, Nangong Xiao felt that he couldn't let Beichen Yan take the child away. The children of the Nangong family should never be looked down upon.

Bei Chenyan understood what he was thinking, but how could his child be compared to an ordinary person?

"The children were indeed an accident, but for me they are a surprise, the most precious gift God has given me."

He told them about his past experiences: "My mother forced me to marry the woman she had her eye on. When I refused, they secretly gave me aphrodisiacs, like the Spring Breeze Crossing."

From then on, I hated my mother and loathed the intrigue and backstabbing in the court. So I left the palace, founded the Wujian Pavilion, and wandered the world to find the enemy who killed my master.

The night the princess was drugged with aphrodisiac by Liu Yue'er, my body's Spring Breeze technique happened to flare up, so I went to the spring pool behind Huguo Temple to expel the poison. Perhaps this was fate...

The rest is self-evident.

"Damn it!" Nangong Xiao clenched his fists in anger when he heard how Nangong Wu had been bullied in the past.

Nangong Wu held his hand. "Brother, don't be angry. I have already exterminated the entire clan of those who bullied me and harmed my family."

"It's all because your brother failed to protect you." Nangong Xiao felt very sorry for you.

"Brother, these things are all in the past. Those who bullied us are long gone, and no one will be able to bully us again," Nangong Wu comforted him.

"Yes." Nangong Xiao nodded, looked at Bei Chenyan, and started talking about the three children:

"The three children's surname is Nangong. You can come to see the children often in the future, but you must never tell anyone that they are your children."

The children's origins have already drawn criticism from the world. If they are further burdened by the label of being the illegitimate children of the Crown Prince of Nanqi, they will face immense psychological pressure.

"I will not reveal the children to the public, but I have already told my father that I have three children, and he very much wants to see them..."

"No!"

Nangong Wu and Nangong Xiao interrupted Bei Chenyan in unison.

If he were allowed to take the children away, Emperor Nanqi would definitely not allow them to return once he saw how well the three children had grown.

"I'm not here to take the children away. It's that Father is seriously ill and wants to see the children one last time before he passes away!" Bei Chenyan felt somewhat helpless seeing their strong reaction.

"Besides looking after the children, I've come here to ask for a favor from the princess."

"Can you do me a favor? Then tell me." Nangong Wu's eyes were full of vigilance.

He kept saying his father was critically ill, and then he asked her for help, making it seem like he wasn't telling the truth.

"Father was secretly poisoned. The poisoning flares up every seven days, causing him great pain. None of the imperial physicians in the entire Imperial Hospital can cure him! They say Father has at most three months to live."

Bei Chenyan stood up and bowed deeply to Nangong Wu, saying, "Princess, please save my father."

"Your father has been poisoned by a strange poison?" Nangong Wu asked warily.

Could things really be this coincidental? Does this guy want her to take the children to the palace of the Southern Qi Kingdom?

"Yes." Bei Chenyan told her what happened. "After we returned from Changyang Temple, I received a letter from Prime Minister Xi saying that Father Emperor was critically ill."

After reading the letter, I thought my father was using illness as an excuse to ask me to return. Only after I returned to Nanqi did I learn that my father was indeed ill, and at first the imperial physicians did not know that my father had been poisoned.

I searched everywhere for doctors and medicine for my father, and even sent people to Jianggang Prefecture to find you, but I couldn't wait any longer, so I went to Medicine King Valley to find the Medicine King myself.

My father and the Medicine King had a long-standing friendship, so I asked him to come out of seclusion. After examining my father, the Medicine King realized that he had been poisoned. He said it was a rare poison that he couldn't cure.

Until half a month ago, the person I sent to Jianggang Prefecture to look for you replied, saying that you were in Runan City. So I came to Binzhou under the pretext of disaster relief to find you.

After Bei Chenyan finished speaking, he took out a small white porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it to her. "This is a little blood I took from my father. Please help me examine it and see if we can make an antidote."

He had previously seen Nangong Wu treat patients by taking a small amount of their blood, so he took a small amount of his father's blood, thinking it would be useful.

"A rare poison that even the Medicine King of Medicine King Valley couldn't cure? I might not be able to cure it either," Nangong Wu said, taking the small bottle with great curiosity about what kind of poison it was.

"Do your best! If you can't cure it, I hope you can give him some painkillers so that he can walk with less pain." Bei Chenyan's eyes reddened involuntarily.

"Then I'll give it a try!" Nangong Wu stored the bottle's essence into her spatial dimension.

"Aiqi, go and analyze the blood in this bottle. See if you can concoct an antidote."

"Right away," Aiqi replied.

"Okay, I'll wait." Bei Chenyan knew she had two capable female assistants, so she must have asked them to help with the blood tests.

Throughout the entire palace, his father loved him the most and didn't want anything to happen to him.

A little over two quarters of an hour later, Ai Qi's voice reached Nangong Wu's ears:

"Master, this person is indeed poisoned. His blood contains twenty-two kinds of toxins, three of which are unidentifiable."

This poison is colorless and odorless, and its effects are slow-acting. It must be mixed into a person's food or tea, making it extremely difficult to detect. By the time a person feels unwell, the poison has already entered their lungs and internal organs, and with the medical conditions here, it is simply incurable.

These three toxins are extremely strange. I tried to concoct antidotes using recipes from the pharmacy, but the data shows that all the resulting formulas carry risks.

"There are risks involved," Nangong Wu frowned.

The brain chips of Aiqi and Erin contain all the most authoritative detoxification formulas from their previous lives in the medical field. Surprisingly, all the formulas they created still carry risks.

I formulated an antidote based on the toxicity of the drug and tried to put it into the bloodstream, but the reaction was that it produced another kind of toxin.

This person must be a master drug maker; this is a bit tricky. We need to be careful when administering medication to the patient. Aiqi's voice carried a hint of seriousness.

"A master of poison making! Even the Medicine King of Medicine King Valley can't handle this poison?" Nangong Wu looked at the report printed out by Ai Qi and really wanted to know who this person was.

Bei Chenyan knew her temperament well. Seeing that she kept frowning, he figured the result must have already come out.

"How is it?"

Nangong Wu said, "The poison in the blood is indeed quite troublesome, and I cannot concoct an antidote for the time being."

Bei Chenyan's heart sank to the bottom. If even Nangong Wu couldn't do anything, then there was no hope at all!
