Concubine Liu was shivering in a corner as she stared in terror at the crazed Zuo Chen . Her countenance was now extremely pale .
Next to Zuo Chen was a bold, majestic, and powerful Raging Flame Tiger . This Raging Flame Tiger was the Martial Honor-ranked spiritual beast which Qianbei Xun had gifted to him .
"Chen'er!"
A voice, filled with panic, rang out outside the palace gates before a figure dressed in red robes shot across the sky and appeared inside the palace .
Feng Qianhuan hugged Zuo Chen as she asked, "Chen'er, are you alright? What happened?"
"Sister . . . " Zuo Chen closed his eyes in agony . "I'm in pain . I feel as if my body is covered in flames, I'm really uncomfortable! Sister, help me, please help me . . . "
"It's alright, Chen'er, it's alright! I'm here and I won't let anything happen to you!"
Feng Qianhuan tightened her grip around Zuo Chen's body as she turned her murderous glare towards Concubine Liu who was hiding in a corner . "What have you done to Chen'er?"
"I . . . "
Concubine Liu was about to reply Feng Qianhuan's question when a white-robed young man stepped into the palace . He swept his cold, arrogant gaze across Concubine Liu's face before he turned to look at the Raging Flame Tiger .
"I had asked you to protect him, how could you let this happen?"
"Roar . "
The Raging Flame Tiger growled softly as it crouched on the ground . It lowered its head in shame and did not dare to retaliate .
It knew that it had been at fault this time . It had not protected Zuo Chen well and had disappointed Qianbei Xun's trust in it .
"Tell me, how did Zuo Chen turn out this way?"
Qianbei Xun raised his eyes as he questioned icily .
"Roar . " The Raging Flame Tiger growled and turned its fearsome eyes towards Concubine Liu in the corner . It then said, "She had fooled Master into drinking a bowl of soup . Ever since Master had drunk the soup, he has been reduced to this . "
Soup?
Only then did Qianbei Xun notice the soup bowl which had fallen onto the ground . He bent down and picked up the bowl before taking a sniff .
His expression changed drastically when he detected the aura from the soup bowl . "It's the Berserk Fruit! If you consume this Berserk Fruit, the powers in your body will quickly scatter in disarray . As a result, your body will explode and you will die!"
"Especially since this Berserk Fruit is also laced with venom from a poisonous snake and has turned this soup highly toxic!" Qianbei Xun's expression instantly sank as murderous intent gradually radiated from his being .
It was likely that Zuo Chen never thought that Concubine Liu had the gall to hurt him! After all, he was a prince of the Vermillion Bird Country while Concubine Liu was only a consort!
"Sister, it hurts, it really hurts . I never intended to drink the soup but she said that she would return mother's ashes to us if I drank the soup . . . I want mother's ashes . . . "
Zuo Chen bit his lips . His tender and adorable little face has turned bright red due to his extreme pain . Even his brows were tightly knitted together .
A raging flame burned in Feng Qianhuan's heart when she saw the boy's agonized expression . A bloodthirsty light flashed across her blood-red eyes as she glared at Concubine Liu icily .
"If anything happens to Chen'er, I will cut you into ten thousand pieces and you will die without a whole corpse!"
Once she had finished speaking, she no longer spared Concubine Liu another glance and turned towards Qianbei Xun instead . "Is there any way we can save Chen'er?"
Qianbei Xun furrowed his brows, "My mother is a physician but I've never been interested in medicine since I was a child . I don't know how to cure him of this poison but there's one person who can save him . . . "
