Everyone looked at Tana eagerly, including Ling Qing.
However, Tana shook her head helplessly.
"I've only seen people who were infected by this poison, but they didn't know how to cure it."
Tana's voice fell, and it was visible to the naked eye that the Empress Dowager's expression darkened again.
"But my father said that red snow grass may be able to cure this poison, but this grass grows on the icebergs in the Western Region and is difficult to find."
The hopes raised by everyone were dashed bit by bit.
Putting aside the difficulty of finding this grass, it would take at least a month or two to drive from here to the Western Regions. Even if we work hard and travel day and night, it might take more than a month to get there.
Let alone more than a month now, even if it's just a few days, Chu Mu probably won't be able to wait.
The way he looks now, he is close to death.
Where is the time to bother?
If only there was a plane, it would only take a few hours.
Ruan Tang had no choice but to put his hope in Ling Qing, "Ling Qing, do you have any idea?"
Unexpectedly, Ling Qing also shook his head, "If it's just poison, I can do something about it, but it involves voodoo, which is not within the scope of my expertise. Moreover, I have only seen descriptions of this voodoo in my master's travel notes. , I haven’t seen it.”
"Then does your master have any recorded treatment methods?" Ruan Tang continued to ask.
Ling Qing shook her head, "No."
Ling Qing became a disciple when he was young. He was extremely talented, otherwise he wouldn't be dominating the world with poison at such a young age.
It's just that his master is extremely mysterious and his whereabouts are unpredictable. Even Ling Qing has a hard time finding him unless he comes to Ling Qing.
Ruan Tang has known Ling Qing for so many years, but he has never met his master.
When she first met him, he was also begging on the street.
At that time, Ruan Tang had already made a little money and was able to have enough food and clothing.
After buying him food several times, Ling Qing followed her.
As time passed, she came to know that Ling Qing had the ability to make poisons and had medical skills, so she kept him by her side.
It's just that he wasn't too old at that time, only fifteen or sixteen years old. His master probably only taught him how to make poison, not how to survive.
Moreover, he is introverted and is afraid of others.
And after his master went on a wandering trip, he disappeared without a trace.
Ling Qing was so hungry that she went begging on the street.
He relied on this for a long time to make a living.
If he hadn't met Ruan Tang, he might not have enough to eat now.
That's why he was so devoted to Ruan Tang.
Just when everyone was in despair, Ling Qing looked at Tana and said, "Maybe the method this girl said can be tried."
"But the journey from Shangjing to the Western Regions will take more than a month at the fastest. Your Highness... can you wait?" Nanfeng couldn't help but ask.
"I have a way to make this voodoo temporarily dormant, and it can wake up temporarily, but it can only be suppressed once for up to two months. If the antidote cannot be found within two months, once the voodoo wakes up, it will Devour him immediately and he may die suddenly."
With that said, Ling Qing stood up from the bed, looked at Nanfeng, and then at the Empress Dowager.
"In addition, I have not verified the method this girl said. She only said it was possible, but it may not necessarily be possible. It can only be a try. You must think carefully. If you are willing to try, I will start to develop a method to suppress Gu insects now. medicine."
The Queen Mother looked pale and sad.
These days, all the imperial doctors and doctors have looked at it, but no one can provide any useful information. Now that she has a little hope, she can only give it a try.
And she had thought about it, if her son died, she, the mother, would accompany him on the road, so that he would not be alone on the road to death.
"That's all, there is no other way now, sir, just give it a try."
With the Empress Dowager's permission, Nanfeng took Ling Qing down to prepare.
Ruan Tang pulled Tana and quickly followed.
But as soon as she took a few steps, she was stopped by the Queen Mother.
"Miss Ruan, can you stay and talk to the Ai family?"
Ruan Tang was shocked. He didn't expect that she recognized him.
She knelt down in front of the Queen Mother with some fear.
Seeing the panic on her face, the Empress Dowager quickly said: "No need to kneel, just get up."
Ruan Tang looked up at her, then glanced at Nanfeng who had also stopped, still not daring to get up.
"The Ai family doesn't mean to blame you. Get up." The Empress Dowager waved her hands and spoke again.
Ruan Tang got up from the ground and stood aside a little uneasily.
Nanfeng left with Ling Qing and Tana.
After everyone walked out, the Queen Mother spoke again: "Is it because of Mu'er that you left the mansion privately?"
After the birthday party, she knew that her son was interested in the eldest girl of the Ruan family, so she sent someone to check her out.
It would have been better not to check, but after checking, I found out that she was the one who was brought back to the house by his son to be favored.
No wonder, his son kept staring at her.
He also threatened that no matter if she was engaged or not, no one could stop him if he wanted to.
It turns out that he has already been with someone else's girl... no wonder.
However, when she learned about her relationship with Mu'er, she despised her for a while and felt that she was not a well-behaved girl.
Even though she knew that she was engaged, she still kept things unclear with her Mu'er.
And this time when she learned that she was also on the big ship and had escaped alive, she had her own selfish motives and wanted to kill her directly.
But thinking about it later, if her Mu'er was rescued and found out that she was sentenced to death, he might hate her for the rest of his life.
Later, when the imperial doctor and other doctors were helpless, she thought that if her Mu'er died, let her be buried with her son, so that her son's infatuation for her would be over.
However, I didn't expect that she would dare to sneak out to save her son regardless of the danger when the imperial army was surrounding the house.
Ruan Tang was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
She left the house privately to save Chu Mu, because if he died, she would die too.
She doesn't want to die, she also wants to live a long life?
"The Ai family has seen your infatuation. If Mu'er escapes this time, the Ai family will make the decision to end your infatuation for Mu'er and let you marry into the prince's palace."
Ruan Tang was so frightened by the Empress Dowager's words that her legs weakened and she knelt down again.
Marry into the palace? What kind of international joke are you kidding?
What she wants is to escape from him, not marry him.
If she wanted to marry him if she wanted to save him, then she would rather he die now.
The worst case scenario would be to really bury him with him. He would be dead anyway, but he would be nothing more than a skeleton, so he wouldn’t have to face him day and night.
"The Queen Mother, I am not..."
"The Ai family knows what you mean. Are you worried about the engagement with the Duke of Guo? It's just an edict. The Duke of Guo must also want to be a beautiful woman. At that time, the Ai family will assign another high-ranking nobleman to Shen...Shizi Shen. female."
Ruan Tang waved his hands repeatedly, "The Empress Dowager, I am not. I have no intention of marrying His Highness."
Seeing that she still looked frightened, the Queen Mother frowned and said, "What do you mean, you don't want to marry Prince Ning?"
After saying these words, the Empress Dowager's face darkened, and her aura of calmness and self-restraint overwhelmed Ruan Tang.
She wanted to answer 'yes', but the word was stuck in her throat and she couldn't say it.
The Empress Dowager's current appearance was exactly the same as when Chu Mu was angry.
It makes people fear unconsciously.
"If you are afraid that Mu'er won't do it, with the Ai family here, you can be regarded as his savior, and he won't dare to disobey."
"And you and Mu'er have already... He should be responsible for you. You can't do whatever you want just because he was born into the royal family."
Her son, she didn't care about other things, but in this matter, she was determined not to let him be the heartless man who always gave up.
Ruan Tang opened her mouth and wanted to argue, but without a word coming out, the Empress Dowager ordered her to be dismissed.
"The Ai family is also tired. You can go down first."
At her order, a maid next to her walked up to Ruan Tang, helped her up from the ground, and then directly helped her out of the inner room.
She wasn't given the slightest chance to argue.
When she stood at the door of the bedroom, she still looked confused.
She finally understood why Chu Mu was such a scoundrel. It turned out to be genetic.
Isn't the Queen Mother too tyrannical? How could she decide her life so casually?
He broke off his engagement with Shen Qianyi and married Chu Mu.
Isn't it like leaving the wolf's den and entering the tiger's den again? What's the difference?
With a slumped face, Ruan Tang asked the guard at the door where Nan Feng and Ling Qing were, and then went to look for them.
Ling Qing was placed in the palace's pharmacy, and Tana was with him.
When Ruan Tang arrived, Ling Qing was grinding medicinal ingredients, while Tana was surrounding him, chattering to him with questions, looking surprised and admired.
Ling Qing was not impatient and told her patiently, and the two of them had a great time talking.
Seeing Ruan Tang come in, Tana ran directly to her side.
"Sister, Brother Ling is really powerful. Some of the formulas he uses are something I have never seen before. They are all eccentric, but the effects are unexpected."
Tana's father is a doctor. Tana has been exposed to medical knowledge since she was a child, and she has also studied medical skills. She often goes out to practice medicine with her father. She has seen all kinds of doctors.
The only one I have never seen is Ling Qing, who has excellent medical skills and is also good at making poisons.
Moreover, she thought the combination of many medicinal materials were mutually exclusive, but he put them together.
He had just written some prescriptions for her. If it were any other doctor, he would definitely not dare to use them on patients.
At first she thought it was a poison, but he said it was a life-saving prescription.
This really shocked her.
The main focus was on "chaos", but she carefully considered the prescriptions and discovered their mystery.
I have to say the word 'convinced'.
However, Ruan Tang was still addicted to what the Empress Dowager had just said, and his whole person was depressed.
Seeing that she was not very interested, Ling Qing couldn't help but ask: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Ruan Tang looked at him for a long time before speaking: "Ling Qing, why don't you just develop a poison for His Highness Prince Ning to kill him."
Ling Qing was surprised and looked around subconsciously.
Fortunately, there are only a few of them in the pharmacy at the moment.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Master, what do you mean? You don't want to save Prince Ning anymore?"
Ruan Tang didn't speak, but sighed.
"If the master doesn't want to save him, Ling Qing will definitely listen to him."
