Qin Ruoruo and He Fangyan traveled day and night, and as soon as they entered Shuocheng, they were invited into Yuwen Ran's tent by the soldiers.
Qin Ruoruo saw that the atmosphere in the army was heavy. If Gu Yanyue knew that she had brought Xiao Wonton with her, she would definitely come out to pick her up in person. But now there was no sign of Gu Yanyue.
Feeling anxious, he followed the soldier leading the way to King Yuwen Ran's tent without saying a word. He happened to see many generals standing in front of the tent door, pacing back and forth, all with worried looks on their faces.
Qin Ruoruo's heart skipped a beat. Du Yuhou happened to see her. Qin Ruoruo immediately stepped forward and asked without saying anything else, "Is there something wrong with His Majesty or the Empress?"
Du Yuhou had heard of Qin Ruoruo's name in the capital a long time ago. He knew that she was Gu Yanyue's good friend and also a miraculous doctor. He sighed with a worried look on his face and told Qin Ruoruo about the current situation.
"Your Majesty was suddenly attacked while negotiating with Prince Tuoba of the Western Regions. The knife was dipped in poison. Now that Your Majesty has been poisoned, the military doctors are helpless."
Qin Ruoruo lifted the curtain and walked in without saying a word.
As soon as he entered the tent, he smelled a strong smell of blood. Gu Yanyue was also inside, silently twisting a handkerchief. The blood in the basin was shocking enough. Gu Yanyue frowned and was slightly startled when he saw Qin Ruoruo come in. Then he asked, "Ruoruo, why are you here?"
Qin Ruoruo didn't answer, but walked quickly to the head of the bed. She saw that Yu Wenran's eyes were closed, his face was as pale as paper, and his lips were pale.
His upper body clothes were pulled open, and his abdomen was covered with layers of knife wounds. The deepest one was a new stab wound caused by the deputy general sent by King Xiang. This scar looked obviously new, but because it happened to cover the old one, it was almost a new wound added before the old one healed, so it was very deep.
Qin Ruoruo felt Yuwen Ran's pulse and suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She shook her head and said to Gu Yanyue, "Sister Gu, this poison isn't just one type, but a mixture of several. Even if I want to detoxify it, I have to first identify which poisons are in Your Majesty's body. This will take quite a while, and I'm afraid Your Majesty may not be able to hold out for that long."
Gu Yanyue was struck by lightning. After a moment, she regained her composure and said, "Ruoruo, you must have some way to stabilize Ah Ran's condition, right?"
Qin Ruoruo nodded, took out a bottle of medicine from her bosom and handed it to Gu Yanyue, saying, "This is the life-extending pill I made earlier. Sister Gu, you should feed His Majesty one every three days. There are still four pills in this bottle, which should last about twelve days. Give me twelve days and I will definitely be able to prepare His Majesty's antidote."
After Gu Yanyue took the medicine bottle, she asked the soldiers to clear out an empty tent for Qin Ruoruo. Gu Yanyue knew that Qin Ruoruo generally didn't want anyone watching her when she was preparing medicine.
After getting ready, Qin Ruoruo turned and left.
After confirming that Yuwen Ran's assassination had nothing to do with Tuoba Chen, Gu Yanyue ordered Tuoba Chen to be released from the tent.
The sound of footsteps reached his ears. After being released from the tent, Tuoba Chen did not immediately return to Fangcheng. He had walked into Yuwen Ran's tent at some point. Seeing Gu Yanyue sitting on a chair outside, he sat down as well. He hesitated for a moment before speaking, "He is the emperor of the Central Plains. Don't you people in the Central Plains often say that the emperor will live long and long?"
Gu Yanyue was silent, but her eyes dimmed slightly. Seeing this, Tuoba Chen felt a bitter taste in his mouth and a sour taste in his heart. This was the first time he had seen Gu Yanyue like this. He couldn't help but ask, "Ayue, if Yuwen Ran died, would you follow me back to the Western Regions?"
Gu Yanyue shook her head. "Prince Tuoba, I think I've made it very clear to you. The bet you made with Ah Ran in the court shows that you don't understand me. I'm very grateful that you didn't hurt Ah Ran this time. Otherwise, you and I wouldn't be sitting here talking calmly like this right now."
Tuoba Chen understood what Gu Yanyue meant. If he continued to pester her and lost control and did something detrimental to Yuwen Ran or Gu Yanyue in the future, he was afraid that his friendship with Gu Yanyue would really come to an end.
Tuoba Chen was silent for a while, and told him the whole story of King Xiang asking him to cooperate with him. Finally, he asked Gu Yanyue if he needed his help to help Yuwen Ran clear the traitor King Xiang.
"No need." Gu Yanyue looked at Yuwen Ran lying on the bed inside, "We don't have any evidence that Prince Xiang intends to rebel, so we can't touch him for the time being."
After hearing this, Tuoba Chen completely let go of his feelings for Gu Yanyue. Gu Yanyue was right, he didn't understand her at all.
Before returning to Fangcheng, he and Gu Yanyue had a cup of tea to settle their grudges. From then on, they were just friends and would only be friends.
After entering the big tent, Qin Ruoruo worked without sleep for ten nights and finally prepared the antidote and rescued Yuwen Ran from the King of Hell.
After Qin Ruoruo fed Yuwen Ran the antidote, it was dusk when Yuwen Ran woke up for the first time. He could only vaguely feel a little light coming through the curtains through his eyelids, but before he had the strength to open his eyes, severe pain came over him.
Although he didn't die, Yuwen Ran was not very happy. He was secretly shocked - what happened to A Yue?
He struggled in confusion and someone grabbed his hand.
Just this tiny, imperceptible movement successfully froze Gu Yanyue, a living person, in place.
“Ruo… Ruo…” Gu Yanyue’s voice was broken, and the end of the voice was still trembling, “Ruo Ruo… Ah Ran seems to have woken up?”
"Really?" Qin Ruoruo suspected that Gu Yanyue was overreacting and walked over and said, "Let me take a look."
Gu Yanyue stood up from the bed, intending to make room for her. Just as she was about to let go, she suddenly felt her fingertips tighten and someone grasped them tightly.
"Ayue..."
The tightly closed eyes opened.
Gu Yanyue's eyes instantly turned red, and she almost squeezed out a sound from her throat, saying in disbelief: "A Ran..."
Qin Ruoruo, like the Queen Mother who separated the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in the sky, abruptly separated Gu Yanyue and Yuwen Ran, and rushed over to feel Yuwen Ran's pulse, "You two can hold hands later. Sister Gu, don't worry, I'll take His Majesty's pulse first."
"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? Are you in any pain?"
Yu Wenran shook his head with difficulty and said weakly: "No... I just feel a little dizzy after lying down for a long time."
Qin Ruoruo let go of Yuwen Ran's pulse with an embarrassed look on her face. She was sure that Yuwen Ran was not in any serious trouble now.
But she still diligently examined Yuwen Ran from head to toe, and finally said, "Your Majesty, the poison has been cured, and you are no longer in danger. I will prescribe two more medicines later, and Your Majesty will be as lively and energetic as before."
"Thank you very much," Yu Wenran said weakly while lying on the bed, "Miss Qin, you are so troubled."
