Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1461

Upon hearing this, Master Zheng looked at the White Lotus Taoist with a puzzled expression.

However, the White Lotus Taoist did not explain anything to him, but simply said one sentence.

"You only need to wait three days. After three days, the effects of Wei Wu's medicine will take hold, and I will then bestow the antidote upon you."

After responding to Master Zheng, the White Lotus Taoist turned his gaze to Xiao Jinghai again and gave the order in a deep voice:

"Xiao Jinghai, for the next three days you must stay by Master Zheng's side at all times, and no one is allowed to have contact with him."

"He is not allowed to step out of the residence, not even once, until I confirm the situation on Wei Wu's side, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinghai did not hesitate for a moment and immediately bowed respectfully in response.

"Yes, Master, I will definitely take good care of Master Zheng!"

As he spoke, Xiao Jinghai smiled again, just like the smile he had when he tormented Master Zheng before.

However, the White Lotus Taoist's next words froze his smile on his face.

"You must not lay a hand on him again."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Although unwilling, Xiao Jinghai dared not disobey the White Lotus Taoist's orders and could only obediently agree.

On the other side, after listening to the conversation between the two, Master Zheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, finally relieved that he wouldn't be tormented anymore.

At the same time, based on what the White Lotus Taoist said, Master Zheng also had a guess about the poison he had taken.

Although this medicine slowly seeps into the heart and spleen and will cause death after seven days, there should be some reactions before that.

The White Lotus Taoist said it would take three days, meaning that the reaction after taking the medicine should appear on the third day.

"No wonder he made Xiao Jinghai take off my clothes just now. He must have been worried that what he said would be overheard by the young master."

"At the same time, I had Xiao Jinghai keep an eye on me, because I was afraid that if I leaked the news, the young master would be able to cooperate and pretend that the drug was taking effect."

"You are indeed cautious, but unfortunately you know a little about the young master's methods, but not much!"

While silently thinking to himself, Master Zheng glanced discreetly at the pile of his own clothes.

"Young Master should receive news of what happened on my end soon, and then he will be able to handle it calmly."

"I took that medicine two days before the young master. Based on the timing, the effects of the medicine should appear on me tomorrow."

"At that time, all we need to do is tell the young master about the reactions I've had, and that should be enough to deceive the White Lotus Taoist..."

As Master Zheng was pondering the matter, a very important thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Because he wasn't wearing any clothes, the moment the cold sweat broke out, his whole body felt icy cold.

"Just now, Daoist Bailian said that he would give me the antidote in three days, once he has confirmed the young master's situation."

"But the young master is in the Imperial Hospital! How can he confirm? Does he think he can just come and go as he pleases in the heavily guarded Imperial Hospital?"

"Or is it that he has someone in the Imperial Hospital who can get accurate information? No, I must tell the young master about this!"

Thinking of this, Master Zheng wished he could immediately pass on the news to Wei Wu, but in the end he held back.

If Xiao Jinghai were around, he could probably think of a solution, but the problem is that Bai Lian Dao Ren is also here.

Xiao Jinghai is a fool, but the White Lotus Taoist is not so easily fooled. Once he reveals his true colors, he will definitely be discovered.

So Master Zheng chose to remain silent. In any case, the White Lotus Taoist had said almost everything he needed to say and should leave soon.

That's what Master Zheng thought, and that's exactly what happened.

After instructing Xiao Jinghai not to make any more moves, the White Lotus Taoist didn't say anything more to the two of them.
