The Unparalleled Spiritual Doctor: Demon Emperor's Defiant Love Chapter 155 - The Tables Turn

Chapter 155: The Tables Turn

“What is happening?” Everyone was extrely shocked.

Ye Jiuge imdiately rushed toward the young man and checked his pulse. All the arteries and veins in his heart had ruptured. It was indeed a miracle that he did not die on the spot.

She used her Lightning Fire Needle to seal his fractured arteries and veins. After that, she looked at Li Zijun and shouted, “Prepare a quiet room for . I want to treat him.”

“Alright!” Li Zijun was about to order an apprentice to get a room ready for her when Gong Hongyu blocked their way.

She pointed at Ye Jiuge and scolded her in a shrill voice: “D*mn you, Ye Jiuge. You produced Poison Pills to harm others. You are truly cruel and unscrupulous — you have no conscience at all.”

Then, she turned to the judges’ table and said, “I strongly implore the Pill Production Tournant judges to disqualify her from participating in the tournant.”

“I agree.” The Crown Prince imdiately gave her the nod.

Agree my foot! Ye Jiuge thought.

Ye Jiuge raised her head and said furiously, “It is more important to save his life now. Is this the right ti to discuss this?”

“He is already dead from your poison. You still have the gall to claim that you want to save him.” Gong Hongyu harrumphed coldly before saying to Dongfang Yao, “Great Master, Ye Jiuge is vicious and heartless. You should not let her get away with this.”

Dongfang Yao lifted Ye Jiuge’s remaining Heart Nourishing Pills to his nose and sniffed them. He furrowed his brows as he said, “There is nothing wrong with these dicinal Pills.”

“Great Master, Ye Jiuge’s dicinal Pill Tester drew his last breath in front of you. How can you insist that her dicinal Pills are fine?” Gong Hongyu persisted vehently.

“Gong Hongyu, you keep reiterating that there is an issue with my dicinal Pills. Did you do anything to ?”

Ye Jiuge realized that she would not be able to save the patient. Since she could not resolve the conflict over her dicinal Pill, she stood up then and there and pointed at the tall, thin apprentice and said, “He placed Heart Devouring Flowers among my dicinal Ingredients. You must have been the one who gave him instructions to do so.”

“What Heart Devouring Flowers? I never gave them to you,” the tall, thin apprentice denied, shaking his head hurriedly.

“If you did not slip these Heart Devouring Flowers into my dicinal Ingredients, are you saying that I brought them to the tournant myself?” Ye Jiuge pulled out a stalk of Heart Devouring Flowers from her pocket and smiled coldly.

Li Zijun walked up to Ye Jiuge and took the dicinal Ingredient from her. He examined the flowers carefully before presenting them to Dongfang Yao. “They seem to be Heart Devouring Flowers.”

With one glance, Dongfang Yao was sure that they were Heart Devouring Flowers.

This flower was very similar in appearance to the Heart Nourishing Flower. Therefore, he’d deliberately reminded the apprentices to pay extra attention when they selected the flowers. It had never occurred to him that soone would place a large stalk of Heart Devouring Flowers among the dicinal Ingredients on purpose.

The identity of the person behind this was crystal clear to Dongfang Yao. Originally, he’d wanted to wait until this round of the tournant finished before giving the Crown Prince a warning. However, he could not bear to restrain himself any longer.

The Crown Prince was unaware that his Imperial Uncle was dissatisfied with him. He even argued with conviction, “I do not know what Heart Devouring Flowers you are talking about. I only saw that, after your dicinal Pill Tester ate your dicinal Pill, he died. You are responsible for his death.”

“Unfortunately, my dicinal Pill Tester has not lost his life yet. I am afraid that this news disappoints you,” Ye Jiuge replied stiffly.

Although the dicinal Pill Tester was as good as dead, the Crown Prince’s words provoked her so much that it made her more determined to save the dying patient.

With a solemn face, Dongfang Yao went to the young man and checked his pulse. After that, he took a bottle of Rank Three Heart Nourishnt Pills out and told Ye Jiuge, “Let him consu this.”

Ye Jiuge accepted it without any qualms then poured the entire bottle of pills into the young man’s mouth.

The sickly pallor of the young man’s face finally regained so color.

“Imperial Uncle, he is rely a dicinal Pill Tester. I cannot believe that you gave him pills of such excellent quality. You are too wasteful!” The Crown Prince was foaming at the mouth.

Even if one had the money, one might not be able to purchase Rank Three Heart Nourishnt Pills. His Imperial Uncle had given such a precious item to the dicinal Pill Tester who was destined to die. He must have beco senile.

As the young man was at death’s door, his heartbeat was extrely weak. There was a risk that he might expire at any mont. That was why he’d specifically assigned that young man to Ye Jiuge.

He’d never thought that his Imperial Uncle would help Ye Jiuge to this extent. He had not predicted that this would happen.

“Shut your mouth.” Dongfang Yao looked up and berated the Crown Prince, “Before your involvent, everything went smoothly. Ever since you ddled in this tournant, there have been problems. I cannot afford to have soone as troubleso as you around. You should just return to the Capital!”

“Imperial Uncle, what do you an?” The Crown Prince was so alard that his voice was trembling.

“That’s right. Great Master Dongfang, it’s obvious that Ye Jiuge produced the wrong dicinal Pill and caused the dicinal Pill Tester’s death. How can you hold the Crown Prince responsible?” Gong Hongyu was aggrieved.

She wanted to stand up for the Crown Prince. However, she didn’t realize that Dongfang Yao was about to deal with her next.

“Gong Hongyu, I disqualify you from the tournant.” Dongfang Yao’s gaze was devoid of emotion.

“Why?” Gong Hongyu shrieked.

“Because you cheated.” Dongfang Yao was not blind. Naturally, he’d figured out that Gong Hongyu’s dicinal Tester was not actually sick at all.

Normally, he’d just turn a blind eye and forget about it.

After all, the dicinal Pill that Gong Hongyu had produced was not bad.

However, since she was imperious to such a degree, she should not bla him for being inconsiderate of the Gong Clan.

Gong Hongyu was seething to the point of quivering. However, she did not dare talk back to a livid Dongfang Yao.

After she shot a spiteful glare at Ye Jiuge, she ran away crying.

Elder Chen and Elder Xiao looked at each other. Neither of them dared speak up.

The other Alchemists also maintained their silence.

Dongfang Yao gave a new order: “The dicine Testing Session has concluded. Now, the Judging Session shall begin.”

Although Ye Jiuge’s dicinal Pill Tester did not end up dead, her ranking still dropped to the bottom.

The other three Rank Two Alchemists retained their rit grade, while Ye Shanshan ca in first with the Highest Distinction.

Ye Jiuge did not mind this final result. She only asked Li Zijun to send the dicinal Pill Tester to the Soaring Frost Hall.

With Dongfang Yao’s tacit approval, Li Zijun complied with her request.

anwhile, at the Ascending Skies Pavilion, the Crown Prince was scowling. It was as if dark clouds were hanging over his head.

When he returned to his lodging, he summoned Su Junqing imdiately and gave him a dressing down. “Didn’t you tell that if I acted according to your plan, we would definitely ruin Ye Jiuge? How can it be that she’s not only won the tournant round but also made Imperial Uncle hate ?”

As soon as he thought about how his Imperial Uncle would tell his father about this, he felt a chill perating his body from head to toe.

“Your Highness, please quell your anger. I did not predict that things would spiral out of our control.”

Su Junqing had devised nurous pitfalls for Ye Jiuge and her allies so that he could doom them eternally.

He’d never expected that Ye Jiuge would not only see through his stratagem but also turn the tables on the Crown Prince. This turn of events was really unanticipated.

“By hook or by crook, I want you to destroy Ye Jiuge,” the Crown Prince raged.

“Crown Prince, you can rest assured that, even if Ye Jiuge becos the champion of the Pill Production Tournant, she will not escape from our clutches,” Su Junqing said confidently.

“You keep repeating this every ti. Yet, you have not managed to execute your strategies successfully even once. I have no idea why Mother sent you to help . You are downright worthless,” the Crown Prince yelled at Su Junqing.

A dark glint flitted across Su Junqing’s eyes. However, they returned to normal shortly after.

He t the Crown Prince’s eyes with a smile, before speaking gently, “The Empress must have had her own reasons when she sent to assist you. You might not trust , but you cannot lose your faith in the Empress!”

When the Crown Prince looked into Su Junqing’s bottomless eyes, sothing clicked in him. He felt that Su Junqing was completely right.

Anyone could make a mistake, except his mother.

“Then, I shall believe you one more ti,” the Crown Prince submitted.

“Alright. Then, I would like to ask you to do as I say!” Su Junqing briefed the Crown Prince on his next plan.

However, as the Crown Prince listened, he was stunned.
