After all, Ruan Tang is still sane. If Ling Qing doesn't develop a medicine to suppress the Gu bugs now, but instead gives Chu Mu a poison to poison him.
The consequences can be imagined.
The Empress Dowager was afraid that Ling Qing would be quartered immediately for the crime of murdering the royal heirs.
And none of them, including Tana, Xiaofeng, Qingfeng, and Chunhan in prison, might be spared.
The price is a bit high.
She couldn't let others die in vain just because she was alone.
But this time she regretted it.
If she had known that this would be the outcome, she might as well have waited for death in the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion.
But it's too late now, and it seems that she can't do it if she doesn't comply.
Ruan Tang shook his head, "I'm just kidding, you continue to develop your medicine."
But Ling Qing saw that Ruan Tang was in a depressed mood, and thought about how the Empress Dowager had left her to talk just now.
"Did the Queen Mother tell you something?"
Ruan Tang still shook his head, "It's okay, I just chatted and talked about some insignificant things."
But how could Ling Qing believe it? Although he usually focused on studying his things, he had been with Ruan Tang for so many years. He could tell at a glance whether she was happy or worried.
"Master, but the Empress Dowager wants you to stay with Prince Ning?"
Prince Ning had been arresting their master before, just to keep her in the palace.
And holding them in jail was also an attempt to use them to contain her.
But they all know that their master never likes to be restrained, and prefers a free life.
If he is detained in this palace, I am afraid that his master will not be able to bear it.
As the most noble prince in the country, Prince Ning must have three wives and four concubines, and numerous wives. Her master must compete with countless women for favor. How could she bear this kind of life?
Ruan Tang didn't say anything. He found a chair and sat down, leaning against the back of the chair and raising his head with a look of despair on his face.
Tana on the side didn't know why. She only knew that when Prince Ning died, her sister seemed to be buried with him, but it was entirely because her sister was also on the boat.
But why does the Empress Dowager want her sister to stay with Prince Ning? Is it because she wants her sister to be the princess of Prince Ning?
"Sister, does the Empress Dowager want you to marry His Highness Prince Ning and become the princess?"
Tana said as she sat down on a chair next to Ruan Tang.
"Sister, if Prince Ning can be saved, it would be great to be a princess. Then you won't be afraid of others bullying you?"
Tana has been with Ruan Tang these days, and she also learned some of her current situation from Ruan Tang.
She was still thinking about staying in Shangjing, helping her sister clean up those 'wolves, tigers, and leopards', and asking her sister to terminate her engagement with Shen Qianyi before taking her back to the northwest.
But if Ruan Tang becomes the princess, many problems will be solved.
Then Shen Qianyi and everyone in the Jingan Marquis Mansion, don't they all have to bow respectfully when they see her? Who dares to embarrass her?
"Sister, this is a good thing, why are you looking so sad?"
"I just don't know what Prince Ning's personality is like. Is he easy to get along with? If he is kind, it will be the best thing for my sister."
Ruan Tang and Tana talked a lot about her, but she didn't say anything about Prince Ning.
Therefore, Tana didn't know what kind of person Prince Ning was and what he had done to her?
If she knew about it, given her character, she would probably be the first to object.
Ruan Tang raised his hand and touched her head. Tana was only fifteen this year. She was still a child and didn't understand this at all.
No matter how kind Prince Ning is, he will never be a good husband.
It should be said that men from the royal family are not good choices.
But now she has no choice.
Here, power is everything and can determine everything about you, not only your marriage, but also your life.
Maybe Tana has a point.
The biggest advantage of marrying Chu Mu is that she can have absolutely high power. Is this a good thing for her?
Ling Qing stayed up and worked day and night in the pharmacy, and finally developed the medicine.
"Don't you need to find a white mouse or something to test it first? Can you just give it to him directly?" Ruan Tang asked as she took the medicine Ling Qing gave her.
Although the medicines developed by Ling Qing in the past were not tested on mice, most of them were given directly to them. After they used them and ate them, Ling Qing knew whether they had any effect or not. If they wanted to improve it, he also knew how to improve it. .
But now the person taking the medicine was Prince Ning, and it was given to him under the eyes of the Empress Dowager.
Isn't this risking beheading his head to try the medicine?
Ling Qing shook his head, "No need. Even if it doesn't work, he is just maintaining the status quo. Even if he dies, it is still related to the poison and has nothing to do with my medicine."
Are you so confident?
The corner of Ruan Tang's mouth twitched, but she knew Ling Qing's personality. If he said he didn't need it, he wouldn't use it. If she kept nagging, he would probably destroy the medicine directly.
Ling Qing's temperament was actually quite gentle, but he couldn't help others commenting on the matter of testing the medicine.
When several people came to Canglangyuan with the medicine, the Empress Dowager was already waiting at the door of the bedroom.
She looks much better today than before. She must have gone to dress up.
After all, her own son might wake up, and she couldn't lose her image in front of her son. She might also be afraid that her son would feel uneasy when he saw her haggard appearance.
I have to say that the Queen Mother is a good mother, the kind of good mother she imagined.
After Ruan Tang and the others bowed to the Empress Dowager, they entered the bedroom together.
The Queen Mother personally fed Chu Mu the medicine.
Then Ling Qing stayed by the bed, taking his pulse every half-quarter of an hour.
After waiting for nearly an hour, Ling Qing stood up and smiled at Ruan Tang: "Master, it's done. The Gu insect has gone to sleep. Your Highness will rest for a day. You will wake up in the evening or tomorrow morning."
When the Queen Mother heard this, a long-lost smile finally appeared on her face.
On the second day, Chu Mu really woke up.
The most excited person was the Empress Dowager. She couldn't hold it back and cried on him for a long time.
Ruan Tang stood aside, a little embarrassed, and was about to exit the inner room, leaving space for the two of them, mother and son.
But unexpectedly, Chu Mu's black eyes looked through the Empress Dowager's shoulders and looked at her.
When he saw that she was safe and sound, a smile appeared on his lips.
Ruan Tang felt a little uncomfortable when he saw him smiling at her, so she gave him a stiff smile, and then quietly withdrew.
Ling Qing and Tana were waiting outside the bedroom. Ling Qing could only wait for the Queen Mother's order before she could go in and take Prince Ning's pulse.
However, not long after Ruan Tang came out, the Queen Mother also came out.
She let Ling Qing go in.
Not long after, Ling Qing also came out and asked Ruan Tang to go in.
"Master, His Highness Prince Ning wants you to come in."
Ruan Tang's expression froze and he looked at the Empress Dowager awkwardly.
But the Queen Mother just smiled and nodded towards her, "Go, he just woke up, it must be about something on the ship, he has something to ask you."
Ruan Tang couldn't resist, so he had to go in slowly.
As soon as she arrived in the inner room, she saw Chu Mu sitting on the bed instead of lying down.
Seeing her coming in, he waved to her.
Ruan Tang walked slowly to the bed and stopped a few steps away.
Chu Mu watched her movements and frowned, "Come here."
Perhaps he had slept for too long and was injured and poisoned. His voice was weak and hoarse after illness.
Ruan Tang did not follow the instructions and still stood there without moving.
"Your Highness, if you have anything you can ask, I can hear you from here."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Chu Mu's deep eyes stared at her for a moment, and his displeasure could already be seen on his face.
After a while, he sighed helplessly, then lifted the quilt covering himself and tried to get out of bed.
He just put one foot down on the bed, clutched his chest, and stopped moving.
Ruan Tang frowned, but had no choice but to step forward, help him sit back on the bed, and then cover him with a quilt.
But the next second, the man hugged her into his arms.
Ruan Tang resisted subconsciously, but immediately heard his muffled groan.
She had no choice but to stop struggling.
"The wound hasn't healed yet. Can you please stop messing around? Your mother will blame me later."
Chu Mu rested his chin on her shoulder and hugged her gently.
"It's nice to see you again."
That night, dozens of men in black suddenly swarmed on the boat, killing everyone they saw. The party was chaotic, and it was in the chaos that he was shot with an arrow.
What he didn't expect was that the arrows were smeared with poison. He forced himself to kill many men in black before falling down.
The remaining men in black took the opportunity to light a fire on the boat.
He knew that Ruan Tang was painting the boat on the second floor, and thinking that she might be killed by those men in black or burned by fire, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
At that moment, he hated himself for not being able to save her.
But when he was dying, he saw her running towards him.
At that moment, his heart was beating violently, and his body seemed to have endless strength at that moment.
He raised his hand, used the sleeve arrows in his hand, and shot a few arrows at the man in black who was chasing her. When he was sure that there was no man in black chasing her, all his strength was suddenly removed.
His eyelids were heavy, and he wanted to raise his eyes to look at her to see if she was injured, but he couldn't even do it in the end.
Moments before he fell into unconsciousness, he could feel her dragging him away from the scorching fire.
He knew she was having a hard time dragging.
He wanted to laugh at her and ask her where her strength went after eating so much.
But he knew that he had no chance.
He didn't expect that he could wake up again, see her again, and hug her again.
"Ruan Tang, thank you."
His voice was very soft, brushing against Ruan Tang's ears like a feather and brushing against her heart. She actually felt something strange.
This was the first time she heard the word 'thank you' from Chu Mu's lips.
She was stunned for a moment before she asked, "Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for saving me, of course."
"I know it was you who dragged me away." He held his hands a little tighter.
Then do you know that I also threw you into the water and left first?
Ruan Tang had no choice but to ask this question in his heart and did not dare to ask it out of his mouth.
But fortunately, Chu Mu didn't seem to remember any of this, he only remembered that she dragged him away.
She also breathed a sigh of relief.
But as soon as she let it go, she picked it up again.
"The queen mother said, you promised to marry me."
"No!" Ruan Tang denied quickly.
When did she agree? It was your mother who made her own decision and forced it, right?
"Little Gummy, you can't lie to me. You saved me and want to marry me. I understand and won't blame you, let alone go against my mother's wishes."
"..."
Ruan TangOS: Listen to me and thank you! O(╥﹏╥)O
