Duke Chong's poison had been active for three days, and he had been gritting his teeth to endure it. He actively sought out Marquis Dongxiang, and the prison guard hurriedly reported to the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
The Vice Minister rushed over, but Duke Chong ignored him.
The Vice Minister felt slighted.
The prison guard rode hard through the rain to reach Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.
When Marquis Dongxiang heard that Duke Chong had relented, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He donned a raincoat and hurried to the Ministry of Justice.
Duke Chong's face was contorted with pain.
Marquis Dongxiang looked at him and said, "Are you finally willing to hand over the antidote?"
Duke Chong stretched out his hand, "Give me the antidote first!"
Marquis Dongxiang made a slight movement with his hand.
Uncle Lin fished out a medicine bottle from his bosom and tossed it to Duke Chong.
People were like fish on the chopping block; he was the knife.
