Chapter 519 Seeking Medical Treatment
Ji Yunshu also understood. She rolled her eyes at Zhao Shen and said, "This only shows that Huo Cong is a very good person. Why are you so mean?"
Zhao Shen didn't think he was mean. Perhaps it was because he had experienced too much and couldn't feel any sympathy for anyone, no matter how pitiful they were.
In his opinion, fate was indeed unfair to Madam Qi, but that was not a reason for her to do evil.
"Do you think Huo Cong was right? If he hadn't been so overly compassionate, Madam Qi wouldn't have died so easily."
In fact, Zhao Shen was not dissatisfied with Huo Cong. He just didn't expect that Huo Cong, who had been a horse bandit for so many years and should have been a ruthless and merciless person, would be so soft-hearted.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "It wasn't too late for you to go, why didn't you stop him? Are you as soft-hearted as him?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Shen's face looked a little ugly: "I was thinking about something at that time."
Ji Yunshu was surprised: "What did you think of?"
Zhao Shen said, "I'm thinking that there's no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. Ordinary people all have hard lives. If Prince Yong's subordinates were all people like Madam Qi, it would be a real problem."
Ji Yunshu hadn't expected him to think so far ahead. "You're talking as if Prince Yong is saving the world. People like Madam Qi are still a minority, right? Prince Yong is good at controlling his subordinates. Didn't you already know that? What's the point of getting hung up on this now?"
Zhao Shen nodded and said, "You're right. In short, Madam Qi died just like that. Huo Cong wanted to find the real culprit behind the incident, so I asked him to investigate the military supplies."
Ji Yunshu: "You know how to use people wisely."
Zhao Shen ignored the teasing in her words: "It can't be helped. We don't have many people we can use, and even fewer who are reliable. This matter still needs to be investigated secretly. The fewer people who know about it, the better."
Ji Yunshu also knew their current situation and did not comment too much on the matter. Zhao Shen's intentions were certainly more than that, but she did not want to explore them.
"Are you busy today?"
She felt that Zhao Shen was even busier than the emperor and had no free time at all.
"What's up?"
"Doctor." Ji Yunshu said dissatisfiedly, "My father sent someone to take us to see a doctor early this morning."
Zhao Shen knew that she was worried about her health: "I'm fine, I'll be there soon."
Ji Yunshu was finally satisfied: "Let's set off now."
This time, Ji Yunshu only brought Bai Ling with him. He followed Ji Changlin's men out of the house and went straight to a small clinic on the corner of the street.
The person leading the way was Wei Zhang, a personal guard who had been with Ji Changlin for many years.
He did not go to the front door of the clinic, but took the two of them directly to the back door and knocked on it.
The person who opened the door was a young servant. He glanced at the people and said cautiously, "Please go to the front if you want to see the doctor."
Wei Zhang took out a sign from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "We are from the General's Mansion and need to see Doctor Gong."
The servant took a look at the sign and respectfully invited them in.
The weather was nice today, and the sun was out. Ji Yunshu turned around the screen wall and saw a woman lying on a chair in the backyard basking in the sun.
She seemed to be afraid of the cold and was wrapped in a fox fur cloak. After hearing the servant's reply, she did not stand up, but just raised her eyes to look at the people who came in.
When he saw Bai Ling, his eyes paused. Seeing that she was following Ji Yunshu, he asked seriously, "Are you the general's daughter?"
"That's right." Ji Yunshu bowed and explained her purpose. "My husband has been poisoned. I've heard that you are an excellent doctor, so I'd like to ask you for help."
Her attitude was respectful and humble. Gong Miaoyin took a few looks at her and said with a smile, "I heard that General Ji's daughter is spoiled and domineering. It seems that the rumors are indeed not credible."
Ji Yunshu really didn't know where the rumor about her domineering personality came from. Even the original owner had never done anything truly arrogant or domineering, and she had nothing to do with these words.
And are people so boring that they talk about her personality for no reason?
Obviously most people in this world won't even see her.
Bai Ling could tell that his master suspected Ji Yunshu's humble attitude was fake, so he immediately explained, "Master, Madam is a very good person, and not arrogant at all. She's been to Suzhou and Southern Xinjiang, and just returned from Mobei. She's not some weak, restrained woman."
Gong Miaoyin had taught Bai Ling for a while and knew her personality. She smiled and said, "You, as a maid, have done quite well. Well, I owe the general a favor anyway. Since you have come to me, I have no choice but to save you."
After that, he said to Zhao Shen, "Come here."
She didn't notice that Zhao Shen looked like he was poisoned, but she knew in her heart that there were all kinds of poisons in this world, and some of them could not be seen until they took effect.
Zhao Shen was not pretentious. Gong Miaoyin was a person from the martial arts world and seemed to be a casual person. More importantly, she was a doctor.
He sat down across from Gong Miaoyin and extended his hand. She pinched his wrist and her expression grew serious after a moment. "Death Gu? No, you're infected with Death Gu. How did you survive until now?"
Ji Yunshu recalled that when they were in the capital, even Taoist Master Yichen did not discover that Zhao Shen was poisoned at first.
But the woman in front of him could actually tell Zhao Shen the name of the poison he was infected with just by taking his pulse.
She said excitedly, "It was brought from the womb. Can you help me figure it out?"
Gong Miaoyin shook her head. "The Death Gu, as the name suggests, will definitely kill anyone who gets it. There's no antidote. In fact, if it was the poison that was carried over from the mother's womb, it's a miracle he's still alive."
The glimmer of hope that Ji Yunshu had just felt suddenly died down, and he asked with a pale face, "Is there really no way?"
Gong Miaoyin thought for a moment and asked Zhao Shen, "Your poison originated from your mother. Can I know who your mother is? How did she get poisoned? Logically speaking, this thing should have long been extinct and shouldn't appear again."
Zhao Shen didn't have much hope in the first place, and although he was a little disappointed at this moment, he still answered Gong Miaoyin's question without changing his expression.
"My mother is from the Shen family of Quanzhou. She is the wife of the Marquis of Changxing. As for how she was poisoned, I found out that someone poisoned her while she was pregnant, intending to kill two people, but she fought hard and gave birth to me."
Zhao Shen did not mention Yao.
He didn't want to mention the mess in Changxing Marquis' Mansion to outsiders.
Gong Miaoyin was stunned: "Your mother was poisoned more than 20 years ago?"
Zhao Shen nodded.
Gong Miaoyin asked again, "Is this matter related to Prince Yong?"
Zhao Shen nodded again: "Based on the results of my investigation, it should be."
Ji Yunshu was a little surprised. This doctor seemed to know a lot.
After a long pause, Gong Miaoyin said with a complicated expression, "I have a secret medicine that can suppress the poison in your body. When it's not acting up, it won't affect you. You should be well aware of this."
As she said this, she asked the medicine boy to go back into the house, take out a small porcelain bottle, and hand it to Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen took the medicine bottle, his mind full of doubts: "This medicine can only suppress the poison, but can't detoxify it?"
He felt that Gong Miaoyin's attitude was very strange, and she knew that the poison in her body was related to Prince Yong's Mansion, so she seemed to know some inside information.
