Evil Emperor's Wild Consort-Chapter 1785: Side Story: Xue'er And Xun'er 28

At the Bright Sun Palace.

Concubine Liu was shivering in a corner as she stared in terror at the crazed Zuo Chen. Her countenance was now extremely pale.

Next to Zuo Chen was a bold, majestic, and powerful Raging Flame Tiger. This Raging Flame Tiger was the Martial Honor-ranked spiritual beast which Qianbei Xun had gifted to him.

"Chen'er!"

A voice, filled with panic, rang out outside the palace gates before a figure dressed in red robes shot across the sky and appeared inside the palace.

Feng Qianhuan hugged Zuo Chen as she asked, "Chen'er, are you alright? What happened?"

"Sister..." Zuo Chen closed his eyes in agony. "I'm in pain. I feel as if my body is covered in flames, I'm really uncomfortable! Sister, help me, please help me..."

"It's alright, Chen'er, it's alright! I'm here and I won't let anything happen to you!"

Feng Qianhuan tightened her grip around Zuo Chen's body as she turned her murderous glare towards Concubine Liu who was hiding in a corner. "What have you done to Chen'er?"

"I..."

Concubine Liu was about to reply Feng Qianhuan's question when a white-robed young man stepped into the palace. He swept his cold, arrogant gaze across Concubine Liu's face before he turned to look at the Raging Flame Tiger.

"I had asked you to protect him, how could you let this happen?"

"Roar."

The Raging Flame Tiger growled softly as it crouched on the ground. It lowered its head in shame and did not dare to retaliate.

It knew that it had been at fault this time. It had not protected Zuo Chen well and had disappointed Qianbei Xun's trust in it.

"Tell me, how did Zuo Chen turn out this way?"

Qianbei Xun raised his eyes as he questioned icily.

"Roar." The Raging Flame Tiger growled and turned its fearsome eyes towards Concubine Liu in the corner. It then said, "She had fooled Master into drinking a bowl of soup. Ever since Master had drunk the soup, he has been reduced to this."

Soup?

Only then did Qianbei Xun notice the soup bowl which had fallen onto the ground. He bent down and picked up the bowl before taking a sniff.

His expression changed drastically when he detected the aura from the soup bowl. "It's the Berserk Fruit! If you consume this Berserk Fruit, the powers in your body will quickly scatter in disarray. As a result, your body will explode and you will die!"

"Especially since this Berserk Fruit is also laced with venom from a poisonous snake and has turned this soup highly toxic!" Qianbei Xun's expression instantly sank as murderous intent gradually radiated from his being.

It was likely that Zuo Chen never thought that Concubine Liu had the gall to hurt him! After all, he was a prince of the Vermillion Bird Country while Concubine Liu was only a consort!

"Sister, it hurts, it really hurts. I never intended to drink the soup but she said that she would return mother's ashes to us if I drank the soup... I want mother's ashes..."

Zuo Chen bit his lips. His tender and adorable little face has turned bright red due to his extreme pain. Even his brows were tightly knitted together.

A raging flame burned in Feng Qianhuan's heart when she saw the boy's agonized expression. A bloodthirsty light flashed across her blood-red eyes as she glared at Concubine Liu icily.

"If anything happens to Chen'er, I will cut you into ten thousand pieces and you will die without a whole corpse!"

Once she had finished speaking, she no longer spared Concubine Liu another glance and turned towards Qianbei Xun instead. "Is there any way we can save Chen'er?"

Qianbei Xun furrowed his brows, "My mother is a physician but I've never been interested in medicine since I was a child. I don't know how to cure him of this poison but there's one person who can save him..."
