Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 327 Turning Black into White

At the Beast Emperor's Private Gardens entrance.

Huang Yuwei anxiously paced in circles, occasionally glancing toward the interior of the private garden.

Xiao Yi reassured her, "Don't worry, everything will definitely be okay!"

"Mm!"

Huang Yuwei squeezed out a forced smile and hesitated before bitterly saying, "Sorry, I must be making a spectacle of myself!"

Xiao Yi shook his head, the image of his brother, who had imprisoned him for eight years and even sent his own younger brother away as a groom to provide a mating partner for his mount, floated through his mind and he said with a laugh, "I've seen even more outrageous siblings, this is nothing!"

"Mm?"

Huang Yuwei was taken aback.

Seeing Xiao Yi's smile without further explanation, she did not press the issue.

Meanwhile...

Inside the Beast Emperor's Private Gardens.

A group of City Lord Huang Baitao's confidants and several elders of the Huang Family were gathered here, Huang Jinghong's mother Ji Lingluo sat beside the bed, her face full of worry.

Seeing Huang Jinghong walk in, Ji Lingluo frowned and said, "Is that wild girl making trouble outside again? Your father is already in this state, yet she knows no restraint!"

"Mother, don't get upset over that wild girl, I've already taken care of it!"

Huang Jinghong spoke and then turned toward an elderly man with grey hair beside him, "Senior Elder, I have someone fetch a Hundred Tribulations Elixir, supposedly it can neutralize all poisons, I wonder if it could save father?"

"Hundred Tribulations Elixir?"

The Senior Elder Huang Zheng was taken aback, his murky eyes revealing a trace of wild joy, "If it really is the Hundred Tribulations Elixir, there's a great chance it could save the City Lord."

Second Elder Huang Yi patted Huang Jinghong's shoulder, praising, "Jinghong, you truly haven't let us down! The Hundred Tribulations Elixir has long been lost to history, to think you could actually find it, quickly administer it to your father!"

Ji Lingluo watched as the two elders, previously unsatisfied with Huang Jinghong, changed their attitude drastically and even praised him unprecedentedly. Her smile grew even brighter as she said, "Jinghong, quickly give the Hundred Tribulations Elixir to your father, if it can revive him, that would be a great service indeed!"

"Mother, what are you saying? Even if it's not just the Hundred Tribulations Elixir, even if it's my life in exchange for father's, I would not hesitate!"

Huang Jinghong patted his chest, saying righteous words.

The gazes of the people turned tenderer and more approving.

The Second Elder whispered, "Elder brother, it seems we've been too prejudiced against this child in the past!"

"Even if his talent is a bit weak, with us old bones to help him, he should still be able to make something of himself!"

The Senior Elder nodded, very satisfied with Huang Jinghong for having found the long-lost Hundred Tribulations Elixir to save Huang Baitao, "Once the City Lord recovers, we should propose that Jinghong take over as the successor to the City Lord!"

At the same time.

Huang Jinghong carefully fed the Hundred Tribulations Elixir to Huang Baitao, who lay motionless on the bed.

The Hundred Tribulations Elixir glowed with a golden light.

It was covered in golden pill patterns, and a faint medicinal fragrance filled the air.

Everyone felt invigorated: "This is the real Hundred Tribulations Elixir, the City Lord is saved!"

"The eldest young master has made a great contribution!"

Listening to the people's praises, Huang Jinghong slightly tilted his chin, his face brimming with pride, thinking to himself, "Oh, my foolish little sister, I owe you one this time. Don't worry, once father wakes up, I will make sure to hasten your marriage to Sha Ying. That way, as Sha Ying's brother-in-law, the Sha Family would surely feel embarrassed to compete for the City Lord's position with me, hahaha!"

However...

Huang Baitao lying on the bed suddenly shivered, convulsing wildly as if he were in agony.

Thump thump thump!

Huang Baitao's body shook uncontrollably, making the entire bed tremble violently as blood began to flow from his nose and mouth. Black blood spurted wildly from all his orifices.

Spurt, spurt, spurt!

Huang Baitao's pale face turned pitch black instantly.

It was the violent onset of the poison!

"Damn it, hold him down quickly!"

Huang Zheng and Huang Yi acted at the same time, their vital energy transformed into chains that firmly locked Huang Baitao to the bed. Only with their combined efforts pressing down on him did Huang Baitao finally stabilize.

But the black blood from his seven orifices was a gruesome sight.

Huang Baitao's breath grew increasingly fainter and his face dark as death.

After a brief examination, Huang Zheng's complexion changed drastically, "Damn it, the lord of the city is suffering from an extremely potent poison, a hundred times more intense than the poison he was originally afflicted with. He, he's not likely to live through the night..."

"What?"

"How did he get poisoned? Didn't he already take the Hundred Tribulations Elixir?"

"Wait, the Hundred Tribulations Elixir?"

The Second Elder, Huang Yi's face suddenly twisted, his eyes sharpening as he stared straight at Huang Jinghong, furiously accusing, "Jinghong, what exactly did you bring? Are you trying to poison your father to death with poison?"

Huang Jinghong was utterly dumbfounded.

He too was petrified by the scene unfolding before him.

His legs gave way, and he collapsed to the floor.

Facing Huang Yi's interrogation, Huang Jinghong's voice shook as he said, "Second Elder, it's a misunderstanding, I'm wronged..."

"Wronged? You brought the Hundred Tribulations Elixir, and your father became like this after taking it. What's so wrongful about that? Fess up, who made you do it?" Huang Zheng bellowed fiercely, his face livid.

Ji Lingluo was also beside herself with anxiety, desperately saying, "Speak up, quickly!"

"Thi-this, this Hundred Tribulations Elixir was... was brought back by that wild girl..."

Huang Jinghong said with a sorrowful face, revealing the truth.

If it truly was the Hundred Tribulations Elixir, saving Huang Baitao would certainly be a great merit, and it was naturally not something he would let fall into the hands of others.

A perilous situation...

This was outright poison!

Aimed at taking Huang Baitao's life.

Let the comrade die rather than the pauper.

Huang Jinghong promptly shifted all the blame onto Huang Yuwei, "Eldest Elder, Second Elder, listen to me... This must all be Huang Yuwei's conspiracy. She brought this pill back just now, telling me it was the Hundred Tribulations Elixir that could save our father. I let her come in to deliver the medicine. But she said she wanted to give me credit for it, told me to inform you that I was the one who found the Hundred Tribulations Elixir. I, I didn't realize it was poison!"

"What?"

"Yuwei did this?"

Everyone was flabbergasted. Stay updated via novelbuddy

Ji Lingluo roared with a distorted face, "I knew it... That wild girl returned with impure motives at this time; she certainly wanted to kill the city lord through Jinghong. How vicious this woman is, Eldest Elder, Second Elder, you mustn't let her off!"

Huang Jinghong's face was a picture of sorrow, his hands clutching his hair, "I get it now... Huang Yuwei must have known she had no hope of succeeding as the city lord, so she thought to poison our father, then marry Sha Ying. For the Sha Family, killing our father would be an immense merit; it must be so... This woman is just too malicious..."

Listening to the mother and son echo each other's sentiments.

The Eldest Elder, Huang Zheng, and Second Elder, Huang Yi, exchanged a glance, their expressions extremely grim.

Huang Zheng said with a grim face, "Second brother, bring Yuwei in here. We must investigate this thoroughly. If Yuwei really did this, I will kill her myself..."
