Watching the black blood begin to turn red as it was placed in the back, Lin Miaoshou said, "I've already used it once, but I didn't expect it to be so poisonous."
"This poison looks like a slow-acting poison. It's still uncertain, but at least His Majesty's life is not in immediate danger."
Jiang Shuyue picked up the sterilized gauze and bandaged Xiao Jingzhao's finger.
She took a bottle of medicine from the first-aid kit and poured out a few pills.
When Eunuch Ma saw Fugui going to clean up the spittoon, he quickly poured a cup of warm water from the teapot on the table.
Seeing that Jiang Shuyue was preparing to feed the Emperor medicine, Xiang Song walked to the head of the dragon bed and reached out to help Xiao Jingzhao sit up.
"Your Majesty, wake up! Miss Jiang has detoxified you," Xiang Song called softly.
Xiao Jingzhao's thoughts were like being dragged into an abyss by a demon, his body completely out of his control.
Xiang Song called out a few times, but seeing that the Emperor did not react at all, he reached out and pinched his chin.
Jiang Shuyue fed him the medicine and then took the water cup from Eunuch Ma and fed him water.
Xiang Song stroked his throat a few times with his hand.
Seeing that he had almost lost the ability to swallow on his own, Jiang Shuyue whispered, "Your Majesty, swallow it quickly. Only by swallowing it can you get rid of the poison in your body."
The water that Xiang Song fed him spilled from the corner of his mouth. He lowered his head and whispered in Xiao Jingzhao's ear, "Your Majesty, you haven't seen Sui Sui for several days. Swallow it quickly. Tomorrow, I will go and bring the young master into the palace."
When the name Sui Sui was mentioned, a miracle occurred.
Just moments ago, Xiao Jingzhao, who had been in a vegetative state, had his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. With a "gulp," he swallowed the pill in his mouth.
Grandpa Ma was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, and he hurriedly called out:
"Your Majesty, please open your eyes and look at this servant, oh no, look at Physician Jiang... Physician Jiang is here."
Eunuch Ma was rambling incoherently, and everyone's attention was focused on the Emperor, so no one noticed his momentary embarrassment.
Xiang Song gently put the Emperor down and said worriedly, "I don't know when His Majesty will wake up."
Jiang Shuyue held Xiao Jingzhao's wrist and took his pulse. "The medicine has just been given, so it won't take effect so quickly. We need to observe him for about 15 minutes before we can see its effects."
Jiang Shuyue was very confident in the antidote she had developed.
Especially those five bottles of poison-testing water, which was a method she had thought of for a long time.
Just as everyone was about to leave and wait outside, Xiangyang walked in.
"How is it? Have those people handed over the antidote?" Xiang Song went up to them.
Xiang Yang shook his head. "I interrogated them separately. These people couldn't withstand the torture and quickly confessed their purpose for coming to Wanling. They denied that their accomplices had poisoned them."
"If I had known they were up to something, I should have spared one of them that night."
Xiang Yang shook his head. "We couldn't keep them. After we captured a few of them, the rest of us were prepared. When we were dealing with the bodies, we found that they had poison hidden in their mouths."
"That means there were assassins mixed in with the killers. The purpose of the Third Prince of Liang sending people this time is probably not simple."
As Xiang Song spoke, he stepped outside, and only then did Xiang Yang notice that there were other people in the bedroom.
Just as he was about to step forward, Jiang Shuyue pointed outside and said, "His Majesty has already taken the antidote. Let's go outside and wait."
Outside the dormitory is a small hall, or more accurately, a study.
Inside, there's a soft coffee table and a large desk near the window.
The zither on top, when folded up, is about two feet tall.
There was still a folded book spread out on the desk, which hadn't been put away yet.
Seeing that pile of memorials, Jiang Shuyue came to a conclusion: being an emperor is really not easy.
Eunuch Ma stayed inside, while Fugui returned after cleaning up the spittoon, washed his hands, and brought over a pot of tea.
Qiuju picked up a blue-and-white porcelain cup with lotus scroll design from the tray on the table, poured half a cup of water, and placed it in front of Jiang Shuyue. "Miss, please have some hot tea first."
Xiang Song and Xiang Yang were whispering to each other. Lin Miaoshou and Xu An sat opposite Jiang Shuyue.
As soon as the two sat down, Fugui hurriedly stepped forward to pour tea.
"Moon Girl, will His Majesty be alright?"
Although Lin Miaoshou believed in Jiang Shuyue's medical skills, he couldn't help feeling somewhat apprehensive because it was the Emperor who had been poisoned.
Jiang Shuyue gave him a reassuring look. "Uncle Lin, don't be nervous. My method of detoxification should be fine. It's just that this poison is tricky, and I don't know if there will be any side effects."
"Sister Jiang, do you mean the Emperor might do that?" Xu An gestured with his hand, indicating that he was unable to move.
Jiang Shuyue smiled faintly, "The poison hasn't reached the heart and lungs yet, so it's not that serious. As for whether the back of the poisoned finger will recover, that's uncertain."
"The potion that Sister Jiang used to test the poison was truly amazing; it left both my master and me completely bewildered."
Xu An admired Jiang Shuyue's medical skills immensely, but he hesitated to ask how the poison-testing solution was prepared.
Jiang Shuyue was not one to keep secrets; she glanced at the hourglass on her desk.
Seeing that there was still time, I explained the recipe and its principles.
Xu An was completely confused. "I still don't understand. I know a little about alkalinity, but I don't know what acidity is."
Lin Miaoshou nodded, indicating that he didn't know either. He had always used silver needles to test for poisons, and he knew that not all poisons could be detected with silver needles.
Jiang Shuyue said, "I happen to be making antidote pills recently. When I get back, I will organize the poison testing and antidote prescriptions so that everyone can read them more easily."
As they talked, a quarter of an hour passed quickly.
"It's about time, let's go in and take a look."
As soon as Jiang Shuyue got up, she heard Eunuch Ma, who was waiting in the bedchamber, overjoyed.
"Your Majesty, you are truly awake! Miss Jiang is a fairy descended from heaven. If she were to take action, even the King of Hell would have to retreat in fear."
"Are you saying that I am about to die?"
"No, Your Majesty, you have been unconscious for most of the day."
"emperor!"
"master!"
Hearing Eunuch Ma's excited shouts, everyone rushed inside.
On the bed, Xiao Jingzhao struggled to sit up.
Grandpa Ma quickly picked up a cushion and helped him sit up.
"Moon Lady, you have saved my life again."
Xiao Jingzhao looked up at Jiang Shuyue in front of the dragon bed, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Jiang Shuyue had no time to pay attention to the way the Emperor looked at her.
She grabbed Xiao Jingzhao's hand to examine it; the bruises on his fingers had faded and they were now slightly red.
"Your Majesty, how are you feeling right now? Are you experiencing dizziness or palpitations?" Jiang Shuyue asked, then checked Xiao Jingzhao's wrist for pulse.
Xiao Jingzhao closed his eyes and tried to gather his inner strength.
A moment later, he opened his eyes. "My internal energy is scattered, and my body feels a bit stiff."
"Your Majesty, try moving your fingers."
Xiao Jingzhao clenched his fist slightly as instructed.
Seeing the swollen finger completely unresponsive, Xiao Jingzhao frowned slightly. "This poison is unusual. I wonder if this finger will ever be able to move freely again."
"No, with Miss Jiang here, His Majesty will be safe and sound." Eunuch Ma, fearing that the Emperor might say something unlucky, hurriedly bowed and said.
Jiang Shuyue: "..."
I am a human being, not a god.
