Chapter 520: The person who tied the bell must untie it
But since the other person didn't seem to be planning to say anything, he didn't want to ask any more.
Gong Miaoyin said, "Yes, these pills can save your life for a year. If you can find the antidote within a year, your life will be safe. If you can't find it, the poison will take effect and you will die immediately."
Ji Yunshu couldn't accept this result: "Where can I find the antidote?"
Gong Miaoyin looked at her and said, "The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it."
"Was it Prince Yong who poisoned me?"
Ji Yunshu didn't expect that things would return to the starting point. If the antidote was in Yao's hands, it would be fine. But if it was in Prince Yong's hands, she couldn't think of what the other party would do to hand over the antidote?
Gong Miaoyin shook her head: "Then it depends on your luck. I only know that there should be an antidote in the world."
Only one...
More than 20 years have passed, and Ji Yunshu doesn't dare to imagine whether the antidote is still there.
She couldn't help but ask hopefully, "Since you know so much, can't you make an antidote?"
Gong Miaoyin said sympathetically, "Gu poison is fundamentally different from other poisons. For every Gu, there's an antidote. Others can't develop one, especially since the poison in you came from your mother's womb. This makes creating an antidote even more difficult. Of course, there are some herbs that are effective against Gu, but they're hard to find."
Ji Yunshu quickly asked, "What medicinal herbs?"
Gong Miaoyin said, "Even if I tell you, you won't be able to find it. Some medicinal herbs have become extinct in this world. The safest way is to find the original antidote."
After asking for help but to no avail, Ji Yunshu had no choice but to say goodbye with Zhao Shen.
Before leaving, Gong Miaoyin called out to Bai Ling, "My dear disciple, why don't you come and reminisce with your master?"
Bai Ling couldn't help but look at Ji Yunshu.
Her mission when she followed Ji Yunshu out was to protect Ji Yunshu, so she couldn't leave easily.
Ji Yunshu waved her off and said, "Talk to Doctor Gong."
After they left, Gong Miaoyin said thoughtfully, "General Ji's daughter does look different from the rumors."
Bai Ling knew his master's personality and didn't have a good impression of this woman from a wealthy family.
Then he smiled and said, "You don't know how much malice those people in the capital harbor towards the Ji family. How could they say anything good about Miss Ji? When the prince first appointed me to serve the young lady, I was also worried that she would be difficult to get along with. Who knew I was overthinking it? She is really a very good person."
Gong Miaoyin said, "Well, she didn't bully me, nor did she demand repayment for a favor, forcing me to give her the antidote. She's a really nice person. But what's the origin of her husband? Logically, the Death Gu shouldn't be in the capital."
Bai Ling hesitated and said, "This is a long story. Master, do you really have no solution?"
Gong Miaoyin rolled her eyes at her and said, "I owe the general a favor. How could I lie?"
Bai Ling felt that she would, at least her current understanding of the poison was beyond her cognition.
But she knew her master wouldn't easily reveal anything he didn't want to say, so she carefully recounted the story of Ji Yunshu marrying Zhao Shen, concluding with a sigh: "Speaking of which, the general is powerful and feared by everyone, but his children don't necessarily have an easy life. The prince is so old and still unmarried. If the young lady hadn't made a quick decision, she would have fallen into the fire pit by now. Prince Zhao has an even more unfortunate fate."
Gong Miaoyin was silent for a long time after hearing her words before she said, "In other words, Zhao Shen is the emperor's confidant. Over the past year or so, he has disrupted Prince Yong's plans and made him reveal his ambitions early on?"
Bai Ling didn't know much about the affairs of the court, but after all, he had been with Ji Yunshu for such a long time, and he knew a lot of things through osmosis.
She knew that Gong Miaoyin never interfered in court affairs, and these were not secrets, so she told them.
"Well, you should have heard about what happened in Suzhou last year. It was actually very dangerous. The prince almost couldn't come back, and it was the young lady who went to Suzhou personally to rescue him. If not, it's hard to say whether Suzhou would still belong to Daxia now."
Gong Miaoyin found it rare to see her praising Ji Yunshu so much.
Bai Ling was trained by the Ji family and worked as a maid for Ji Yunshu. But from what she said, Ji Yunshu never seemed to treat her as a maid. Not only did he give her a certain degree of freedom, but he also respected her very much.
I couldn't help but ask: "So you think Zhao Shen's survival is a good thing for the people of Daxia?"
Bai Ling thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the Crown Prince well. You've seen that, although he appears gentle, he's actually quite cold. But Madam, she's saved many lives. She even set up a farm to adopt homeless children, sent people to teach them how to make a living, and opened an affordable clinic in the capital. She's spent a lot of money on this. The Crown Prince has always supported her in all these ways."
In short, there are two kinds of people sleeping in the same bed.
Ji Yunshu would not have been able to carry out these actions without Zhao Shen's support.
As far as she knew, Ji Yunshu often just came up with an idea and then threw the matter to Zhao Shen, and many things were done by Zhao Shen.
Gong Miaoyin was a little surprised. "I've never heard of these things. I only heard that General Ji's daughter was very good at making money. She opened a clinic and a restaurant in the capital and made a lot of money."
Bai Ling curled her lips and said, "Madam never advertises her reputation. Only those around her know about what she does. She makes a lot of money, but most of it goes in and out, all used for good deeds."
After saying this, she couldn't help but say, "Master, Madam and the Crown Prince are both very good people. If you have any way, please save the Crown Prince."
Gong Miaoyin stared at the sky, not knowing what she was thinking. Just when Bai Ling thought she wouldn't speak, she whispered, "Saving people depends on chance."
Bai Ling quickly asked, "He was able to meet you, isn't that a chance?"
Gong Miaoyin said, "There's still a year left anyway, so there's no rush."
Bai Ling felt very anxious. She knew that the poison in the prince's body had always been a concern for the lady, but since the master said so, she didn't want to rush him.
Then he changed the subject and asked, "Did you keep me here just to tell me this? Madam seems to need to stay in Wuning for a while, otherwise you can teach me something else."
Gong Miaoyin glanced at her sideways. "As your teacher, I'm worried that you're not doing well. Since she treats you well, I'm relieved. I've taught you everything I can. What else do you want to learn?"
Bai Ling's eyes lit up: "I didn't know Master knew about poison. How about you teach me too?"
She had originally just been testing the waters, but Gong Miaoyin actually nodded, saying, "Alright. Although there's a saying that Gu techniques should never be passed on to outsiders, Southern Xinjiang is weakening now, and I'm afraid it will be completely absorbed into Great Xia in the future. I don't know how long this technique can be passed on, and you're not the only one who knows about it."
Bai Ling was a little shocked: "Since Gu magic is not to be passed on to outsiders, how did you learn it, Master?"
