Chapter 188: Bleeding to Save the City
Deng Youning, who received such shocking news, was shaken and filled with unconcealable astonishment.
The people of Nanxin are really good at tricks!
Afraid that their Nanxin army would not be able to enter the Dongji Kingdom, they made preparations for both situations and directly turned the Dongji people into their immortal soldiers!
There are still three days left, and I must make the antidote even if I have to stay awake all day!
She clenched her fists and her eyes were as threatening as a knife, but she restrained herself from exploding.
Jian Zhiyi was also shocked when he heard these things.
"Dad, after we leave the capital, can your daughter go to the temple with you to practice?"
"My father and I recite scriptures and chant mantras every day to repent and atone for the sins of those you have harmed."
She had originally planned to go find her Dai Lang after leaving the capital.
But she suddenly felt that she was no longer worthy of Mr. Dai.
While they were talking, a servant from the Jian family came running to report that Li Tianzhuo had brought the Silver Dragon Guards to the Jian family to search their property.
Deng Youning pursed her lips and smiled. He came so quickly!
"Ning Ning——"
As soon as her smile faded, Li Tianzhuo's urgent shout reached her eardrums.
Deng Youning turned around and fell into a strong and warm embrace.
The familiar scent of sandalwood relaxed her tense mood a lot.
"Azhuo, I'm fine. I've almost finished dealing with my issues."
She glanced at Deng Zheng, who was still staring at her fiercely, and gave Li Tianzhuo a sweet smile.
"Someone, take him away!"
At Li Tianzhuo's command, two Silver Dragon Guard soldiers stepped forward, carried Deng Zheng and were ready to leave.
"Deng Youning, Li Tianzhuo, you will not have a good death in this life!"
"I curse you, you will never live a peaceful life!"
Before Deng Zheng was taken away, he did not forget to give the most vicious curse to Deng Youning and Li Tianzhuo.
It was a pity that he used to think that Li Tianzhuo might be someone he could use.
He also regretted not getting rid of Li Tianzhuo earlier!
"Thank you for your concern!"
"We don't know whether we will die a good death or not, but you will be reduced to ashes soon anyway!"
Deng Youning chased after Deng Zheng and started to curse at him.
She couldn't help but express the grievances in her heart.
It would be fine if he just scolded her, but Deng Zheng, this old man, even dared to scold her Ah Zhuo. She had to have a good verbal fight with him!
Imperial Palace, Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Deng Zheng was taken to the Silver Dragon Guard prison, where he was further interrogated about the detailed plan of the collusion between the King and the Prince.
The father and daughter of the Jian family were brought to the palace together.
After coming to his senses, Prime Minister Jian told Deng Youning everything he knew here.
But in order to save his life, when he appeared before the emperor, Deng Youning did not let him speak in such detail and only told him some things related to Deng Zheng.
In addition, Jian Zhiyi's daughter sued her father, which made the emperor's sentence on the Jian family much lighter. All the Jian family's property was confiscated, and Prime Minister Jian was exiled to the northern border.
After talking about the father and daughter of the Jian family, Deng Youning reported to the emperor how the people in the city had been poisoned by the Nanxin people with the puppet living dead Gu.
It was also the first time that the emperor learned about such a thing.
"Youning, you are well versed in the art of poison, so I will leave this matter to you. You must ensure that all the people's poison is cured within three days to prevent them from causing trouble in the capital."
"I will have the entire Imperial Hospital assist you. If you need anything, just go get it yourself."
The emperor attached great importance to rescuing the people. He was also afraid that the undead would cause chaos in the capital and disturb him.
But at present, no one knows how many people have been infected with the Gu worm. It would be difficult to cure everyone in three days.
Finally, after Li Tianzhuo's constant efforts, the emperor extended the deadline for them.
Just don't cause too much loss and resolve it as soon as possible.
The conversation with the emperor lasted only a cup of tea, and he coughed three times for every sentence he said.
It felt like I was coughing my lungs out.
To date, it has been two months since he was poisoned by the Queen.
There was a hint of death in that pale, bluish face.
His two sunken eye sockets were hollow and lifeless, as if he was in his seventies or eighties, not at all like a middle-aged man.
He is now living one day less!
"Ning Ning, how are you going to treat those people?"
Walking in the palace, Li Tianzhuo asked in a worried tone.
He knew that Deng Youning's ability to detoxify and cure poisonous substances was basically entirely dependent on his own blood, which could cure all kinds of poisons.
So, of course, he didn't want to see her bleed.
"Don't worry, I have my own way."
Deng Youning smiled at him faintly to comfort him.
Li Tianzhuo didn't believe that she could have any better idea.
This girl must be secretly bleeding herself without telling me or anyone else.
There are countless people in the city who have drunk the magic water. Is she planning to drain all her blood?
A hint of annoyance rose between Li Tianzhuo's brows. He licked his back teeth and really wanted to set a fire and burn down the whole city!
After the truth of Rashomon was exposed, the people were terrified.
Deng Youning ordered the Imperial Hospital to build a simple shed near the original Rashomon Gate, where they cooked medicinal decoctions every day.
But her prescriptions were nothing special, just some things that could strengthen the body.
When the medicine was served to the people, she would personally drop a drop of her own blood into it.
Some doctors were curious about what was in her small bottle, but when they sniffed it closely, they could only smell the scent of iron and blood.
What’s more, that thing is red, which looks especially like blood!
"Ying Shi, when they counted the number of people who drank the talisman water, how many of them still haven't been cured?"
Seeing that there was only a little blood left in the bottle, Deng Youning asked weakly.
In two days, she had saved more than two hundred people.
Naturally, her blood was released one bottle after another without stopping.
The wounds on his arms became deeper and deeper.
She originally liked to wear plain clothes, but in order to prevent the blood from the wound from seeping out, she wore bright red clothes these two days.
"There are still about 150 people registered."
"The Silver Dragon Guards have already gone to search for the rest that are not registered."
Sakura gave a brief report.
"Miss, if you are tired, can I put this in the medicine for you?"
Seeing that Deng Youning's lips were pale and she looked haggard, Ying Shi thought it was because of the trouble she had in the past two days.
Carefully pointing to the small porcelain bottle of blood in her hand, Ying Shi wanted to help her master share some of the blood.
"No, go prepare some ginger water with red dates and brown sugar for me."
"In February, the wind in Beijing is strong and a little cold."
Deng Youning used the cold weather as an excuse to ask Yingshi to prepare some blood-replenishing soup for her.
Currently, even Yingshi doesn't know that his blood can cure all kinds of poisons.
Everyone knows that Princess Youning is immune to all poisons, and can turn one hand into poison or the other into a Gu. But except for her childhood sweetheart Li Tianzhuo, no one knows that her blood can cure all poisons.
So, she had to keep it secret!
In the past two days, she has bandaged the wounds on her hands herself.
One hand could not operate it well and could not stop the bleeding properly. The blood started to flow again from the cut.
In line with the principle of not wasting blood, Deng Youning hurriedly ran to a deserted place and took a small bottle to collect his blood.
“Tick…”
As he watched the blood fill the bottle drop by drop, Deng Youning felt his body getting colder and colder.
It was almost March, but her hands felt numb from the cold and her whole body was shivering.
My head felt dizzy, as if all the strength in my body had been drained away, and I soon couldn't even stand.
She held onto a big tree beside her, trying hard not to fall down, but she felt the scenery in front of her began to shake and the world was spinning.
I can't hold on any longer.
Just when she was about to fall to the ground and faint, Li Tianzhuo arrived in time and held her in his arms.
