Imperial Physician Yan and Hu Yuan were arguing anxiously: "No, once the antipyretic medicine is taken away, the poisonous insects will lose control. If they get into the emperor's intestines and stomach, the emperor will be tortured to death."
"But if the fever is not reduced, the voodoo insects will sense the host's body temperature rising and break out of the flesh. If the voodoo insects break through the flesh, the wound will never heal, which is a dead end!"
"It just so happened that I injured my arm again last night. The voodoo insect attached itself to the emperor's left arm and sucked the nutrients from the arm for a living, making the bones of the emperor's arm extremely fragile. The medicine used will also excite the voodoo insect."
"This won't work, that won't work either, this..."
"Detoxify the poison first."
Jiang Xinyue waved her hand, and Tang Shiliang came forward with a small box. Imperial Physician Yan and Hu Yuanzheng saw it, and their eyes shone: "Master Jiang, Eunuch Tang, are you sure?"
There are thousands of kinds of poison in Miao territory, and the poison girls are afraid of being deceived because they are incommunicado with the outside world and most of them have weird temperaments.
Jiang Yankun glanced at the blushing Tang Shiliang with a strange look: "Don't worry! This antidote was obtained by Eunuch Tang at the expense of his appearance. The Miao girl loves her so much that she can't help herself. There is no way it's fake."
Tang Shiliang's face turned redder.
Hu Yuanzheng and Dr. Yan looked at each other, and when they secretly looked at Tang Shiliang, their eyes were a little searching.
However, the emperor's body was the most important thing in front of them, so they suppressed their desire to inquire, took out the black bottle from the box, and gave it to the emperor to drink.
Jiang Xinyue stood by the bed, frowning due to the stench of the potion. The emperor, who was unconscious from the fever, opened his eyes suddenly, then lay down by the bed and vomited out a large mouthful of black blood.
A red bug the size of a fingernail crawled out of the black blood. It crawled out as if fleeing for its life, but within a few steps, its body exploded, splattering Jiang Yankun with black juice.
"My lord, bring some water for the emperor to rinse his mouth with."
In his daze, the emperor heard Jiang Xinyue's voice and became a little more awake: "Didn't I tell you not to come? Why did you come anyway?"
As if jealous, Jiang Xinyue pulled off the handkerchief tied to his arm and threw it on the ground: "My father and Eunuch Tang have returned from Miao territory. Naturally, I will accompany the emperor to confirm your safety as soon as possible."
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Emperor Xuanwu felt that all the bones in his body were extremely sore, and even though it was summer, his body could not help but tremble.
"Mother, water..."
Jiang Xinyue hurriedly brought it to the emperor's mouth. Wang Dequan used an empty cup to catch the emperor's mouthwash. He wiped the emperor's mouth clean with the handkerchief before Jiang Xinyue wrapped him in a quilt.
The medicine to reduce the fever has been prepared, but the two imperial doctors had been arguing fiercely just now, and the medical girl did not dare to offer it.
Now that the poison has been cured, there is no longer any danger for life. Hu Yuanzheng hurriedly gave the medicine to the emperor to drink.
After the emperor went to bed, Jiang Xinyue and Jiang Yankun came out of Jiuzhou Qingyan. The Qu family was still kneeling outside, but it looked like they were holding on, and they would probably be carried back at night.
The emperor's illness came by chance, leaving the Qu family at a loss.
What's the use of begging?
The emperor himself was so sick that he couldn't even get out of bed.
In the bedroom of Emperor Qingyan of Jiuzhou, a bright yellow figure stood in front of the window. Wang Dequan and Tang Shiliang stood behind him, one on the left and one on the right: "Your Majesty, the old man of the Qu family has not come forward yet, let's..."
"Not urgent."
Emperor Xuanwu said calmly: "I arranged for a few servants to chat in front of Master Zhen, saying that I often see Qu Pengfei walking in and out of Tingtai Lane. He seems to have a home away from home."
Wang Dequan said "yes" and retreated. This move would definitely force Mr. Qu to come forward.
For lunch that day, Jiang Xinyue asked Xiao Xiangzi to invite the Ruan family and a pair of younger siblings to the Changchun Fairy Pavilion.
After ordering someone to pour a cup of warm tea for Cheap Dad and drink it, Jiang Yankun said it himself: "Sister Yue, can you think of a way to get some hair from Pei Sinian and Pei Zhishuo for Dad? Otherwise, I and I will Eunuch Tang is going to be entangled to death by that Miao girl."
It turns out that the beauty Zhang who bewitched the emperor was not named Zhang, but was Miao Linlin's sister. She fell in love with a man outside the Miao village in her early years, so she eloped with that man.
That man was the troupe leader that Mei Zhang mentioned.
When Jiang Yankun and Tang Shiliang first arrived in the Miao Village, the people in the village rejected them. However, not only were the Miao Village's witch-gu tribe not accepted by the local villagers, but even the Miao villagers were dissatisfied with the witch-gu tribe and refused to come in.
So they had a hard time.
Jiang Yankun didn't have much, but he had a lot of money. If any family was in trouble because of money, he would throw money at it, so that everyone in the village accepted them.
Especially for Miao Linlin's family, it is said that her father disappeared in search of his daughter. He has not been home for three or four years. There is no news, and it is not known whether he died outside.
Her mother was the most powerful witch and Gu master in the village when she was young, but because she had been nourishing Gu with blood for many years, her body declined very quickly.
However, in her forties, she already looked like an old woman and was riddled with diseases.
Witchcraft can harm people and control them, but it cannot save them.
Miao Linlin couldn't even pay for the medicine. When those people down the mountain saw that she was wearing Miao clothes, they all stayed away.
This is why she didn't refuse when Tang Shiliang gave her money and asked her to lead the way for the first time.
She was short of money and wanted to get medicine for her mother and hire a doctor.
Later, as they got along day by day, Miao Linlin had never been in contact with a man outside the village. Tang Shiliang, who was well-informed, gentle and talented, made her fall in love.
Tang Shiliang was afraid that he would not be able to get the antidote if she refused, so he could only use a beauty trick to coax her into handing over the antidote to the malnutrition.
When they ran away overnight, Tang Shiliang felt guilty for deceiving the girl, and left all the money he had with her.
But Miao Linlin came after them on horseback the next day and insisted on leaving with Tang Shiliang. If there were not guards at the foot of the mountain to meet them, it would not be so easy for them to escape.
"But when my father was out and about, the names he told us were Pei Sinian and Pei Zhishuo. That Miao girl wanted to bewitch us, and the unlucky ones were also the Pei family father and son."
Ruan thought about it for a moment and then asked: "What is that girl's personality like? If she is a good person, I should explain it to her clearly. Don't waste her life. Sister Yue, what do you think?"
Jiang Xinyue nodded: "Mother is right, tell her carefully and she will understand."
It's not that Tang Shiliang was bad, but no girl in her right mind would be willing to marry a eunuch.
"What's good?"
Jiang Yankun was still a little angry when he talked about this: "I'm not married yet! I want to force Eunuch Tang to... share a room with her, saying that we need to collect yang and replenish yin to nourish the poisonous insects in her body. Knowing that we have She asked us for money every day, and bought expensive medicinal materials for cultivating gu. She treated us as her private bank. Whenever we refused, she would make a bad face. The day before we escaped, she overheard She wants to bewitch me and Tang Shiliang and make us obey her words, what kind of good person can she be?"
If this is the case, she cannot be allowed to meet Eunuch Tang.
