Chapter 189 Her sleeves were covered in blood
With the warmth of another person on his body, Deng Youning suddenly felt much warmer.
But the coldness emanating from the bottom of her heart still made her shiver all over.
"Ningning, why are you so disobedient?"
Looking at her arm covered with scars, Li Tianzhuo clenched his fists tightly and suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Azhuo... I'm fine. Yingshi said there are still 150 people left. This blood is enough to save them."
"Go quickly and drop this blood into the medicine."
She no longer had the strength to distribute medicine to the people, so she could only ask Li Tianzhuo, the only person who knew her secret.
Li Tianzhuo hesitated for a moment, but seeing that she was willing to shed so much blood, he agreed to let her save the remaining 150 people.
However, he had to block the news about the other people who had been recently counted from the outside, lock them up and control them so that Deng Youning would not know of their existence.
"Go and rest. I'll distribute the medicine to these people."
He helped Deng Youning sit aside, and asked Xiu Ming to get his cloak and put it on her.
Deng Yan'an had some free time today, so he came over to see if he could help Deng Youning.
As soon as he walked nearby, he saw that the person distributing the medicine had changed.
Seeing Li Tianzhuo working seriously and Deng Youning sitting aside and watching quietly, he curled his lips and smiled.
As her future brother-in-law, I really couldn't bear to let Ningning suffer the slightest.
But why was Ningning wearing a heavy cloak and looking so pale in the middle of February?
It’s not as tiring as distributing medicine to the people.
Before he could go over, Ying Shi came over with the ginger sugar water she had prepared for Deng Youning.
Seeing Deng Yan'an coming, he greeted him warmly.
"Dalangjun."
Sakura bent her knees slightly and bowed.
"What's that in your hand? It smells so sweet!"
According to Deng Youning's request, the ginger sugar water was added with red dates, brown sugar, red wolfberries, etc. to replenish qi and blood. The sweet taste could be smelled from a distance.
"It's the young lady's drink. She said it was cold, so she asked me to make some ginger sugar water."
Yingshi felt that there was nothing to hide, so she told the truth.
Deng Yan'an seemed to understand immediately, thinking that maybe the girl had her period.
Followed Yingshi to go to Deng Youning's place.
Deng Youning has been too busy to go home these past two days, and Deng Yan'an has not seen her since the day Rashomon was destroyed.
But just two days later, Deng Yan'an felt that he could hardly recognize her!
At this time, Deng Youning's face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and his face was thinner. He looked like he had suffered a serious illness.
"Ningning, what are you doing...?"
Looking at Deng Youning like this, Deng Yan'an's eyes were filled with worry and confusion.
How could this be?
"Cousin...?"
Deng Youning felt guilty and didn't dare let him see her face.
"If you are sick, you can let others do the job of distributing medicine to the people!"
"Everyone can help you, you don't have to do it all by yourself!"
Deng Yan'an was reluctant to blame her too harshly, but he couldn't help but speak louder.
Sakura Toki also pouted beside her.
"That's right. Just now, I said I wanted to help the young lady, but was rejected."
"Fortunately, Master Li is here."
She also noticed from a distance that the person dispensing the medicine had changed.
It seems that only Lord Li can convince these young ladies.
"Miss, the soup is ready, please drink it while it's hot."
Yingshi was busy handing her the soup in her hand.
Deng Youning reached out to take it, and when she got closer, Ying Shi could clearly see that her sleeves were wet, and there was a strong smell of blood on them.
She frowned. Did the young lady have a fight with someone again? !
"Miss, your sleeves are wet. Can I go back home and get you a new set of clothes?" she asked tentatively.
This sentence seemed to have touched Deng Youning's heart, and she shouted, "Shut up!"
Yingshi was startled by her sudden anger.
I've known the lady for almost a year, and she has never yelled at me.
Deng Yan'an naturally noticed something was wrong, but he didn't say anything. He glanced at Li Tianzhuo who had been paying attention to their developments.
"I'll go check on Tian Zhuo."
He put away the Buddhist beads that had been hanging on his palm and walked towards Li Tianzhuo with a sullen face.
Seeing that Li Tianzhuo added a drop of red liquid into each bowl of medicine, he also became curious.
"Tian Zhuo, could that little bottle of yours contain Ning Ning's exclusive secret medicine?"
“There’s also the scent of osmanthus!”
Deng Yan'an sniffed. The fragrance of osmanthus was very special, with a faint hint of blood.
If it weren't for people like them who are used to living on the edge of a knife, they might not have noticed it.
This is the osmanthus honey that Li Tianzhuo had just asked Xiu Ming to find in order to confuse the imperial doctors who had been asking for the prescription.
"Tian Zhuo, what secret are you and Ning Ning hiding?"
"Her sleeves were covered in blood!"
Deng Yan'an narrowed his eyes and blurted out his discovery.
Hearing this, Li Tianzhuo's eyes suddenly widened, his secret was discovered, and his heart skipped a beat.
When the surrounding people and imperial doctors heard that Princess Youning was injured, they also cried out in shock.
In panic, Li Tianzhuo covered Deng Yan'an's mouth.
"Come and tell me if you have anything to say."
And he abandoned the people who were waiting for the cure.
Deng Yan'an was dragged to a deserted place by him.
Deng Youning felt her right eyelid twitching and was a little worried about them, so she followed them.
"There are two types of people who are immune to all poisons. One type is those who have been poisoned, and the strongest poison acts as a suppressant. Other poisons that enter their bodies have little effect on them."
"The other type is a medicine man with a special bloodline. That blood is the antidote to all kinds of poisons."
"If I'm not mistaken, Ning Ning was transformed into a medicine man in the Ten Thousand Snake Valley when she was a child. Is this the case?"
Deng Yan'an is very smart and knows a lot, so it is not difficult for him to guess.
Li Tianzhuo looked at him with complicated eyes and didn't answer.
Until Deng Youning herself came.
“That’s right!”
The girl's voice came out weakly like smoke.
Since her cousin has already discovered the clues, if she continues to hide it, Deng Yan'an and even the entire Deng family will definitely feel that she does not regard them as family.
"My blood can indeed cure all kinds of poisons."
"With special herbs, it can cure all kinds of poisons."
Deng Youning spoke as he slowly walked towards them.
There was a hint of pleading in her eyes as she looked at Deng Yan'an, hoping that he would not let a fourth person know about this.
"So, the antidote pills we take are all made from your blood?"
"Each of us has drunk your blood in disguise!"
Deng Yan'an frowned in disbelief.
Their lives were actually saved by Ning Ning's bloodletting!
Deng Youning nodded. "I mixed my blood with jujube paste. How is it? You can't tell the difference, right?"
Her playful smile, coupled with her almost haggard face, looked like her last words before death.
"Brother Deng, since you also know about this, you must keep it a secret for Ning Ning."
"Once those villains know that her blood can cure all kinds of poisons, what awaits her will be torture even more torturous than being trapped in the Ten Thousand Snake Valley for sixteen years."
Li Tianzhuo was a little worried.
Even if he is Ningning's cousin, I will never forgive him if he dares to leak the secret.
Before Deng Yanan could express his opinion, an old and complaining female voice sounded from behind the three people: "How long do you want to keep this secret from me?"
