"Then this Gu worm..."
Doctor Qin hesitated and spoke up.
Jiang Jiaojiao held the porcelain bottle, sat down in front of his bed, and stroked his cold eyebrows and eyes. "Back then, he would rather die than stay. How could I make the choice for him?"
Her fingertips were delicate and icy cold. In a daze, she seemed to see him running around seeking medical help, finally finding a glimmer of hope, but stubbornly refusing it.
Even if the body is so thin that it's just skin and bones.
It also has an unyielding and proud spirit.
"Isn't it just detoxification?"
"Don't worry, the poison can be cured even without this!"
At this moment, she was incredibly grateful for her rebirth, thankful for the dream from her ancestors, and thankful for the divine physician Xue. Her eyes blazed with fighting spirit as she slowly uttered, "Prepare the medicinal bath."
She remembered that the medical records also contained a method of detoxification that could increase the success rate from 50% to 80%.
"This...this is insane, everyone's gone mad!"
With no other choice, Doctor Qin picked up the prescription for the medicinal bath and began preparing the herbs for it.
Jiang Jiaojiao wasn't idle either. She picked through the medicinal herbs, and after searching through the small pharmacy, she ran back to the Yiren Mansion and searched through her large pharmacy to come up with a prescription for a medicinal bath.
Two doses of medicine were prepared.
Jiang Jiaojiao did not immediately brew the medicine. Instead, she took the herbs and people, opened the gates of her mansion, boarded a carriage, and headed straight for the imperial estate on the outskirts of the city.
...
The news that Prince Chen had been poisoned spread instantly throughout the capital. News also came from the Imperial Hospital that the poison was extremely dangerous and that his chances of survival were slim.
The emperor was so angry that he almost exiled the entire Imperial Medical Academy.
The Imperial Physician risked his life to secure half of the Imperial Hospital's medicinal herbs, which he then took to assist Jiang Jiaojiao and Doctor Qin.
at the same time.
The emperor, overwhelmed with anxiety, fell seriously ill and was moved to the South Palace to recuperate. All affairs of the court were entrusted to Prince Jing, with Prime Minister Cui assisting.
The affairs of the inner palace were entrusted to Consort Zhang, with the four virtuous and capable consorts assisting in their management.
The winds in Kyoto changed completely all at once.
The steps in front of Prince Jing's mansion were almost worn down, while the once bustling mansions of the wealthy Marquis and Prince Chen were deserted.
Another day.
The Imperial Advisor offered another piece of advice: "When a noble daughter is born into the royal family, she will give birth to a noble son, and the world will be at peace."
On that day, Jiang Xue, a concubine of Prince Jing, was found to be pregnant and was promoted to a secondary consort once again, enjoying immense prestige. Princess Jing claimed to be ill, and all affairs of Prince Jing's residence were entrusted to Jiang Xue.
Ups and downs, downs and ups, Jiang Xue became the most eye-catching protagonist in Kyoto, extremely popular, and received so many invitations to visit her that she couldn't handle them all.
Prince Jing's Residence.
Jiang Xue picked up the visiting card from the Yongchang Marquis's residence and casually tossed it aside. Dressed in a bright red palace gown and adorned with ruby headdress, she looked every bit the legitimate wife.
There was no trace of her former tearful fragility.
Her brightly colored headdress, gorgeous makeup, and bright red palace dress accentuated her noble status. Even her innocently drooping eyes were upturned by the powder, making them look charming and alluring.
"Your Majesty, should we respond to these posts?"
The newly appointed first-class personal maid, Shishu, knelt down and picked up the visiting cards from various households, cautiously asking about the few characters she knew.
The visiting cards from the wives of high-ranking officials of the first, second, and third ranks were filled with flattery.
A visiting card from someone below the third rank wouldn't even get through the gate.
Jiang Xue glanced at her disdainfully, quite satisfied with Shi Shu's humble attitude. All the people who had served her before were dealt with the day they left the small Buddhist hall.
Now, everyone around her is someone she has chosen again.
Love and affection can't compare to interests and power. What use are tears, other than as a weapon?
If it weren't for that proverb, how could she have regained the position of concubine that belonged to her?
hehe……
As expected, she is the real protagonist. It's just that the process was a bit tortuous, but it doesn't matter. She will definitely be the one who has the last laugh!
"I heard the princess is making a fuss about going back to her parents' home. Let's go and see her."
Jiang Xue stood up, and Shi Shu quickly reached out her hand, bent down to help her up, and the other old women and maids immediately followed. The group of dozens of people headed to the main courtyard in a grand procession.
...
Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Huangzhuang on the outskirts of the city.
Deep in the bamboo forest, a hot spring pool is shrouded in white mist, and two figures, a man and a woman, can be vaguely seen sitting inside. The warm water beneath them is surprisingly white and black.
From a distance, the entire hot spring pool looks just like a Bagua diagram.
A man and a woman each possess the eyes of yin and yang.
The first light of dawn.
The two opened their eyes at the same time, their gazes meeting, as if a radiant glow had dispelled the clouds and revealed their figures.
"You're awake."
Jiang Jiaojiao's face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, her skin was so smooth and delicate, her smile was bright and dazzling, and her voice was clear and refreshing, "Now, you really do owe me a life."
She's really going all out this time.
The man opposite him swayed and stood up from the pool...
Jiang Jiaojiao's eyes widened immediately.
His skin was as white as jade, smooth and delicate like mutton fat, radiating a faint glow. Water droplets slid down his body, outlining the contours of his form.
Broad shoulders, a strong chest, a toned abdomen... any more would be too alluring, any less would be bland.
Jiang Jiaojiao was hopelessly infatuated.
He was very satisfied with Jiaojiao's performance. His eyes were like the brightest star in the night sky, and a few strands of hair fell in front of his forehead, adding a touch of his own gentle beauty.
"Then... how about I repay you with my body?"
Her voice was gentler than a pool of warm water.
Jiang Jiaojiao's face flushed red instantly, and she didn't know where to look. She pretended to be at ease and said, "You are mine to begin with, how can I promise you anything more?"
"Then let us pledge our lives to each other, for three lifetimes and for eternity."
His gaze was fixed on her, as if passing through her body and looking into her soul.
"So, your dream was actually true."
Jiang Jiaojiao suddenly looked up and saw the tenderness in his eyes.
His voice seemed to draw out, "I also had a dream, a dream that... Jiao Jiao left me, my fifth brother took the throne, the Jin family... the entire Jin family was exiled, and I was taken to the Southern Frontier, where the clouds and mist lingered, the sun never shone, it was very cold... very cold..."
"I don't want that kind of ending."
"We must live, and live well."
The shock on Jiang Jiaojiao's face faded, and she sobbed, her voice trembling with tears, "Okay."
"Cough cough cough—"
Outside the screen on the shore, came Doctor Qin's feigned cough, "It's time to come out. You've all ruined the hot spring pool."
Jiang Jiaojiao stood up shyly, almost falling into the pool.
Under his tender gaze, Jiang Jiaojiao almost lost the ability to think and act.
In the end, it was Ah Yuan and Ah Xiang who jumped into the pool, wrapped themselves in their clothes, and took the bodies down with them.
Wait until she leaves.
Prince Chen put on his robes and went outside. Dao Qing and Dao Hong were waiting behind the screen. Seeing him emerge safely, they excitedly bowed, "Your Highness—"
Doctor Qin looked him up and down and exclaimed in amazement, "I never expected this method to be so effective! After this treatment, the toxins in your body have been completely cleared. Her efforts have not been in vain."
"You must treat her well from now on. This time it was really dangerous. If you hadn't woken up, her life would have been in danger too. You two have truly gone through thick and thin together. You should also share the good times together in the future."
Prince Chen was someone he watched grow up.
After so many years of getting along, he's like a second elder to me.
Prince Chen nodded.
Looking up towards the imperial city, it was as if he had passed through layers of mountains and seen that towering building that seemed to reach the stars. He said it was the will of Heaven.
hehe……
Since fate won't allow it, let's turn the world upside down, shall we?
