Bab 1685: Fighting Poison With Poison

Qiao Xi's heart ached, and her breathing trembled. "The doctor on the ship said that the old patriarch of the Brook family has a way to detoxify the poison. What exactly is it?"

"Fight poison with poison." Qin An frowned. "By giving him another poison, the two poisons will counter each other and slow down the spread of the poison. This method is risky, but as long as he survives it, he can at least keep his life for another ten years. He won't lose his eyesight and mobility."

Qiao Xi said anxiously, "Can't he use my blood? I can—"

"He has already taken the poison." Qin An interrupted Qiao Xi. This was Gu Zheng's choice. He would rather choose a risky path than let Qiao Xi be hurt.

Qiao Xi was instantly stunned. It was as if someone had cut her heart, and her entire body went numb.

"Gu Zheng wants to protect you. He can't become blind, much less crippled. He had no choice but to choose this method."
