Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 561: Retribution Arrives (Part 1)

Lady Nan Feng was injured by poison and had no time to concern herself with the three of them.

Seeing the opportunity, Dongfang Li quickly picked up Princess Anyang and hurried away.

Only after they reached a safe place did they catch their breath.

Princess Anyang was in terrible pain all over her body and kept cursing non-stop.

"That vile woman Feng Bailing is trying to kill me! I knew it, she was unhappy with my marriage to you, Seventh Prince, and she actually poisoned our signal arrow. Seventh Prince, Ninth Prince, now you both must see Feng Bailing’s true face, that venomous woman!"

Dongfang Li’s expression was complicated, but his heart was secretly overjoyed.

Could it be that Princess Consort Wu truly still had feelings for him?

Dongfang Mosheng spoke in a deep voice.

"Princess Anyang, there might be more to the story. The signal arrows are distributed uniformly. Moreover, if it were not for that particular signal arrow, our luck this time would have been much worse."

Lady Nan Feng was very strong; the three of them were no match for her.

"Ninth is right, the signal arrow might not have been tampered with by Bai Ling, it could be..."

Dongfang Li spoke ambiguously. At the moment, it was unclear who was responsible for the poison on the signal arrow.

"We should leave the Red Scorpion Desert quickly. If this continues, we will surely be killed by the leader from Beiqi."

Princess Anyang sobbed and wailed.

She was terrified, severely injured, and Lady Nan Feng had been poisoned because of her; the other party would certainly not let her go.

Now, she felt as if all her internal organs were in agony, regretting participating in the Competition Among Ten Countries. Even if she were eliminated, as long as she could survive, that was all that mattered.

"If you want to leave, you go by yourself. I must complete this Ten Countries competition and secure a good ranking to prove that I am no worse than Dongfang Yu and Dugu Wu."

Dongfang Li immediately rejected the idea.

"But Princess Anyang is injured, and it is quite severe. If treatment is delayed, I am afraid it will be detrimental to her."

Dongfang Mosheng was somewhat worried.

"Doesn’t she have Purple Ginseng with her? That stuff is good for nourishing the blood and boosting qi, with amazing efficacy. Just a little will do the trick."

Reminded by Dongfang Li, Princess Anyang suddenly went from anxious to overjoyed. How could she have forgotten such an important thing?

She still had the life-reviving Purple Ginseng, which had cost a fortune. The Underworld Market claimed it could heal all wounds.

With the Purple Ginseng, her injuries were certain to heal.

Princess Anyang couldn’t wait to take out the Purple Ginseng. There was no other way to brew it into a medicine at the moment, so she just bit a piece and swallowed it whole.

After swallowing the Purple Ginseng, Princess Anyang looked forward with expectation, waiting for the powerful medicinal effects to take hold. However, after half a quarter of an hour, and then a full quarter, her pale face remained just as pale, without the slightest sign of improvement.

"What’s going on? I clearly ate the Purple Ginseng. How come my injuries haven’t improved at all?"

Princess Anyang was at a loss.

"Could it be that your injury is too severe, and one bite of Purple Ginseng is not enough? Try a few more bites."

Dongfang Li urged her.

Princess Anyang felt some heartache for the remaining Purple Ginseng, but thinking of her life, she bit off another piece. After the second bite, her injury still didn’t improve.

Princess Anyang started to panic and quickly gulped down the whole Purple Ginseng.

Even after consuming an entire Purple Ginseng, the pain persisted with no effect. Now, Princess Anyang was truly dumbfounded. She was already severely injured, and now with added agitation and urgency, she felt a surge of blood churning inside her. Suddenly spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, she then fainted.

Dongfang Li was also greatly shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to check on Princess Anyang’s breathing.

"It’s strange, the Purple Ginseng from the Underworld Market not only couldn’t heal the injury, but it even made Princess Anyang’s condition worse."

Dongfang Li felt overwhelmed. If he had known, he would not have joined forces with this woman. Suffering a serious injury in the Red Scorpion Desert, if he left her behind, her death was certain. But taking her with him would bring trouble for both him and Dongfang Mosheng.

As Dongfang Li was grappling with the headache, he suddenly heard a call from ahead.

"Is that the Seventh Prince and Ninth Prince up ahead?"

The slightly surprised voice of the other party reached the ears of Dongfang Li and Dongfang Mosheng, especially Dongfang Li, it sounded like the music from heaven.

Dongfang Li was overjoyed.

He then saw Nalan Yan’er and her son, dusty from travel, hurrying over.

Nalan Yan’er was unfortunate to run into Xiao Junci, and it was not until much difficulty that she managed to save their lives from him.

However, Xiao Junci threatened them that they must find Feng Bailing and others.

That day, Nalan Yan’er was as restless as if sitting on pins and needles, and she had to instruct her subordinates to split into three groups in search of Feng Bailing and the others.

Her only wish was to find Feng Bailing and Dugu Xiaojin as soon as possible. Alas, the mother and son had been searching for most of the day and had not found any trace of the Great Chu Team B members.

As evening approached, Nalan Yan’er was fretful, worried that Xiao Junci would come knocking for a reckoning since they had neither water nor food left. The mother and son could only proceed towards the direction of the Red Scorpion Nest, bracing themselves for what lay ahead.

Nalan Yan’er was clever enough to know that although the Red Scorpion Nest was dangerous, there would definitely be a water source there.

Feng Bailing’s group, with not enough water, would certainly look for a water source nearby.

To Nalan Yan’er’s surprise, they encountered members of the Great Chu Team B here, although there were only three of them.

Seeing the state of Princess Anyang, Nalan Yan’er was also shocked.

"What happened to Princess Anyang? Did you encounter an attack from Red Scorpions?"

Dongfang Li bitterly smiled.

"It’s a long story. We weren’t so fortunate; it wasn’t a Red Scorpion attack, but we encountered Lady Nan Feng."

Hearing that Lady Nan Feng was nearby, Nalan Yan’er’s expression grew uglier.

"Imperial Sister-in-law, how did your team also end up split?"

Dongfang Mosheng only heard the footsteps of two people.

Nalan Yan’er had previously disapproved of splitting up the team.

Nalan Yan’er’s face turned slightly pale, and Dongfang Jin also looked down, remaining silent. Dongfang Li, ever the brute, failed to notice the subtle change in the mother and son’s expression.

Nalan Yan’er forced a strained smile.

"We split up from the other team members to look for a water source. Why are there only three of you? Could it be Feng Bailing cannot accommodate you?"

"We also separated to find water sources, but our luck hasn’t been good; it seems there is no water source nearby."

Dongfang Mosheng shook his head.

"Since you haven’t found a water source either, why not head back and meet up with Princess Consort Wu and the others? Perhaps they have found water."

Nalan Yan’er was eager to find Feng Bailing; as long as they found Feng Bailing, she could secretly release the Signal Arrow. If Xiao Junci found Feng Bailing and Dugu Xiaojin, her and Jin’er’s lives would be spared.

"We agreed to head back only after dark. But now, Princess Anyang is injured. We have to wait until her condition stabilizes before returning."

Dongfang Mosheng sighed, as Princess Anyang was seriously wounded. If they moved her again, her injuries might worsen.

Seeing Princess Anyang’s condition, Nalan Yan’er hurriedly said.

"Don’t worry, I have Purple Ginseng here, it can surely save Princess Anyang."
