Her true identity was that of the real daughter of the Jiang residence, who had been swapped at birth. Everyone said her good fortune had finally arrived; she had a powerful and influential father,...
Chapter 126 Am I really not worthy of my cousin's attention?
"Your Highness, have you been waking up in the middle of the night recently, covered in cold sweats? Have you occasionally had trouble swallowing and experienced belching and discomfort?"
Chu Hean, who was still admiring the beauty, sat up straight instantly, with a bit more nervousness in his expression.
"What's the reason?"
Jiang Qingyue's face was solemn. She pursed her lips and said nothing. She silently took Chu Hean's pulse again.
The pulse was even more turbulent than before, indicating that Chu Hean was afraid.
Jiang Qingyue sneered in her heart, but her expression became more and more ugly.
"say!"
Chu Hean lost his patience. His voice suddenly rose, but there was no dignity at all. Instead, one could hear some trembling in it.
"Epidemic...but the prince's symptoms are still mild. With proper treatment and the availability of medicinal herbs, he will be fully recovered in two or three days."
Instead of feeling relieved, Chu Hean's expression became increasingly grim?
He even felt in his heart that it was Jiang Qingyue's close proximity that caused him to contract the plague.
"I want to give the prince an acupuncture treatment."
She opened the silver needle and disinfected it in front of Chu Hean before inserting the needle.
Every time he gave an injection, Chu Hean would ask clearly what acupoint it was and what treatment it was for, being extremely cautious.
Jiang Qingyue not only taught him how to recognize acupoints, but also told him some medical knowledge.
But these things were forgotten in the blink of an eye after Chu Hean heard them.
He doesn't care what medical theories these are; all he cares about is whether his illness can be cured.
After taking out the needle, Jiang Qingyue disinfected it before putting it back into the medical bag.
"In the next three days, I will come to give you acupuncture."
She was about to leave, but then she listened to Chu Hean's instructions.
"Since you have to come here every day, leave the silver needle here. Also, take off this outfit and leave it where it is. You can change into it next time you come."
Jiang Qingyue frowned.
She is such a bully.
But when she thought of Chu Hean three days later, Jiang Qingyue calmed down again and obediently went behind the screen to change her clothes.
The silver needles left with Chu Hean were a set that Jiang Qingyue had customized with her own money. Chu Hean asked her to keep them there because he didn't want to share them with others, even after they were disinfected.
But Xie Lingyun had already used that set of silver needles.
After returning to Xie Lingyun, Jiang Qingyue took out another set of silver needles.
Although she disinfected it after each use, this time she was more careful than ever.
She first soaked the silver needles in strong liquor for a moment, and then disinfected them with fireworks.
"What did Chu Hean say to you?"
Jiang Qingyue raised her eyes and glanced at him.
"He told me to love myself more and not ruin my innocence."
Xie Lingyun chuckled, "Ruin your innocence? With me?"
Jiang Qingyue frowned, "Am I really so unattractive to my cousin?"
Xie Lingyun stopped laughing, but there was still a smile on the corner of his lips, which seemed quite meaningful.
"If he were more obedient, he would be quite pleasing to the eye."
Jiang Qingyue stopped what she was doing and asked, "What does it mean to be obedient?"
Xie Lingyun just smiled and said nothing.
In the next two days, Jiang Qingyue went to Chu Hean's tent every day, taking his pulse and giving him acupuncture. However, every time she went, Chu Hean looked at the graceful figure changing clothes behind the screen, but gradually lost interest in her.
He had seen too many beauties and had gotten too many beauties. He felt that he just felt disgusted with Jiang Qingyue.
In addition, the epidemic that had just been stabilized outside seemed to be resurfacing, and food was almost running out.
These troubles made him so upset that he had no energy to think about anything else.
"I will ask Guard Xu to bring the medicine to His Majesty in a while. After you drink it today, His Majesty's illness should be cured."
Chu Hean's face darkened slightly.
Since Jiang Qingyue gave him acupuncture, the symptoms did disappear, but he always felt that something was wrong with his body.
However, he finally recovered and was now particularly wary of Jiang Qingyue's illness.
"Take all your things. Consider this dress as a reward from the king."
Jiang Qingyue nodded, thanked Chu Hean, and then left.
After going out, she threw the old clothes in her hands into the brazier outside Chu Hean's tent.
She caught a glimpse of Xu Yan coming out of Xie Lingyun's tent, her heart sank, and she hurried over.
Xu Yan went in and out of Xie Lingyun's tent alone, but Chu Hean had arranged so many pairs of eyes, so he didn't dare to speak carelessly.
Seeing her coming, Xu Yan just greeted her without saying much.
Jiang Qingyue was worried. After opening the tent and going in for a moment, she called Xie Lingyun's men as if she was facing a great enemy.
Xu Yan returned to the tent to report. Because Chu Hean disliked him for having been to Xie Lingyun's tent, he could only stand at the door.
Hearing the commotion outside, Chu Hean asked what happened, and someone else reported back that there seemed to be a problem with Xie Lingyun's account.
Chu Hean's brows raised.
"Xu Yan, I was not wrong about you."
In Xie Lingyun's tent, Jiang Qingyue sat aside with a solemn expression, listening to Yang Shizong say that there was news about Cang Yi, but there was heavy snow in Qingzhou Prefecture and the road had been blocked for three days.
"Qingzhou Prefecture is the only way back to Yanjing. Even if Cang Yi found the Jade Maiden Grass, he still wouldn't be able to return if the snow blocked the road."
Although Xie Lingyun's condition has stabilized, who knows if there will be any accidents?
Without the Jade Maiden Grass, Xie Lingyun would die sooner or later.
"Still no news about Guard Cang Yi?"
Yang Shizong shook his head.
Jiang Qingyue gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go find it. If the road is blocked by heavy snow, clear the snow. I must see the Jade Maiden Grass within three days."
Yang Shizong was obviously stunned for a moment.
Over the past few days, Jiang Qingyue has always been kind to people and rarely been so harsh and sharp.
He instinctively looked at Xie Lingyun, and only after seeing him nod did Yang Shizong leave.
Xie Lingyun was also a little surprised. He estimated the distance from Qingzhou Prefecture to Yanjing City in his mind and thought that he could definitely get back in three days.
But I don’t know if they have found the Jade Maiden Grass.
"If you can't find it... when you return to Yanjing, remember to tell my mother something. I..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Qingyue had already stood up.
"Go back and tell your aunt what you want to say."
Xie Lingyun smiled bitterly, "But if you can't find the Jade Maiden Grass, how can you cure me?"
Can't find the Jade Maiden Grass...
Jiang Qingyue bit her lower lip tightly. She was so anxious that she couldn't calm down at all.
It wasn't until she tasted blood that she suddenly woke up.
When the master was testing the medicine, he fed her a lot of rare medicinal herbs.
She is immune to all poisons because she is a poisonous person.
If that’s the case, can her blood also save people?
She turned and left, and didn't come back for almost half a day.
When I came back, it was already midnight.
She held a bowl of medicine in her hand, woke up Xie Lingyun, and carefully fed him the medicine.
Xie Lingyun tasted blood as soon as he took the first sip. He grabbed Jiang Qingyue's hand with a cold look in his eyes.
Just when he was about to ask her where the blood came from, he saw her face suddenly turn pale, and she gasped in pain.
