Chapter 153: Medicinal Guide
According to Ye Rushui's medical advice, Qi Wuhan used his internal energy to dispel the cold for her every hour, for about a quarter of an hour each time, to prevent the cold from accumulating in her internal organs and delay the onset of the cold poison.
After he helped Jiang Lan dispel the cold for the second time, she leaned on his shoulder and seemed to have regained some consciousness. Although she did not open her eyes, she was muttering a name in a very soft and low voice. He lowered his head and put his ear close to her to hear the two words clearly:
“Wuhan…”
He raised his hand and gently stroked her face, a hint of tenderness lingering in his eyes, as if talking to himself, "Are you really in love with me, or are you just happy with how good I am to you, with the husband who used to obey you and hold you in his hands?" A faint smile crossed his lips, "Actually, you don't like me, you just want a husband who loves and pampers you."
Having said that, he tilted his gaze slightly, his expression returned to his usual indifference, and the tenderness in his eyes disappeared.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
Ye Rushui didn't answer. She came over to check Jiang Lan's pulse first. After checking her pulse, she said in her usual calm voice, "There was a girl who traveled thousands of miles to find her husband. After finally finding him, she didn't even get to enjoy two days of happiness with him. Now she's dying."
Hearing the last sentence, Qi Wuhan's expression became stern, his eyes dark, and he said in a firm tone: "I will not let her die."
"You still have some conscience and are not a beast in human skin." Ye Rushui took out the small porcelain bottle containing blood, dipped a silver needle into it, took out the silver needle and handed it over to Qi Wuhan, asking him to see if there was anything different.
There was no blood on the silver needle, and at first glance it looked no different from before it was dipped.
However, Qi Wuhan noticed the abnormality at a glance and stared at the tip of the needle. There was a faint blue color on it, glowing slightly, like fluorescence, which was very strange.
"What kind of poison is this?"
"Three days of cold."
"Three days?" Qi Wuhan's expression darkened. One day had already passed.
Ye Rushui explained what the three-day cold meant, "One day of cold, two days of ice, three days of five internal organs frozen, even gods cannot save you." He asked Qi Wuhan to clear the accumulated cold in Jiang Lan's body every hour to prevent the internal organs from freezing. According to Jiang Lan's current pulse, he could get one more day on top of the three days.
"This is a poison developed by the Black Lotus Cult. I've seen patients who were poisoned by it before, but it was too late. They were sent to me on the third day, and died shortly after. Even though they were dead, cold air was still coming out of their mouths and noses."
Qi Wuhan glanced at him and said, "I don't need to know so much. Just tell me how to treat it."
Ye Rushui replied: "I haven't found the corresponding antidote yet."
"How long will it take?"
"The medicinal ingredient is missing."
Qi Wuhan's expression relaxed slightly. He had originally thought that there was no clue about the antidote, but now it sounded like the antidote was just missing a key ingredient. Whether the key ingredient flew in the sky or swam in the water, he would find a way to get it. "What key ingredient?"
Ye Rushui said, "Your Highness, have you ever heard of Fire Ganoderma? This Fire Ganoderma is the most yang thing in the world. It can restrain any cold poison, no matter how strong it is."
"Where does this fire Ganoderma grow? I'll send someone to look for it right away." Qi Wuhan said.
Ye Rushui replied, "I've only seen records of this thing in ancient books. Although the Fire Ganoderma is the most yang in the world, it grows in the coldest places, so it can restrain all yin and cold things. From the capital to the north, there may be this thing in the snow-capped mountains in the far north."
"Snow Mountain?" Qi Wuhan pondered for a moment and asked, "What does the Fire Ganoderma look like?"
Ye Rushui replied, "The records in the classics say it's shaped like dragon scales, has a seven-colored auspicious light, and is as crystal-like as jade. It's an extraordinary item."
Qi Wuhan was startled for a moment, then suddenly smiled. He lowered his head to look at the person in his arms, raised his hand and gently stroked her face, then gently put her back on the bed, turned around and said, "I'll go get it now."
"I heard that His Highness brought back a piece of dragon scale before. It must be God's will." Ye Rushui said.
"No one is allowed to get into any trouble before I come back, otherwise I will bury you with me." He gave this death order and left quickly, like a gust of cold wind.
Xie Yun saw Qi Wuhan leave in a hurry, as if something urgent had happened. He thought something had happened to Jiang Lan and rushed over, but was stopped outside the door by Ling Feng.
"His Highness has ordered that no one is allowed to enter."
"Is Miss Lan okay?"
"Madam is fine."
After hearing this answer, Xie Yun felt a little relieved and asked again, "Why did my brother-in-law go out?"
Ling Feng replied: "It's urgent."
…
In less than an hour, Qi Wuhan came back, holding a heavy stone box in his hand.
When Xie Yun saw him come back, he hurried over and was about to ask him what he had been doing, but he was given a cold look by him and decided not to ask.
He hurried into the bedroom with the stone box. Ling Feng closed the door behind him. Xie Yun took the opportunity to take a quick look inside while the door was closing. His view was blocked by layers of curtains, so he couldn't see anyone and didn't know what the situation was.
After the door was closed, Xie Yun walked back and forth anxiously in front of Ling Feng. Ling Feng reminded him that he was still injured and asked him to go back and rest first.
"I'm not sleepy."
“.…..”
After Qi Wuhan placed the stone box on the table, he suddenly stopped when he was about to open it. A hint of surprise flashed across his face, and then his expression became gloomy.
"Empty?" Ye Rushui walked over and took a look. There was nothing inside the stone box. "Was it stolen?"
Qi Wuhan didn't answer, but went over to look at Jiang Lan first. Seeing that there were silver needles in her hands and head, he glanced behind her. Ye Rushui explained, "I don't know when you can come back. I can only use acupuncture to relieve the pain first."
He leaned over and gently touched Jiang Lan's forehead, which was still cold.
"Your wife was also poisoned before. It was a chronic poison. Her body is weaker than that of an ordinary person. Although she has almost recovered after recuperation, her body naturally cannot bear the long journey. If she had rested well, she should have recovered by now and might have been able to hold on a little longer."
"I said I would not let her die."
When the door opened again, Qi Wuhan came out with the stone box, exuding an oppressive feeling that kept strangers away, and left like a gust of cold wind.
Xie Yun didn't have time to ask anything, but seeing him come with the things and leave with them so quickly, he had a bad feeling.
…
Qi Wuhan had just left Ganyue Palace with the empty stone box when a figure walked out from the shadows in front.
The man who came was wearing a purple and gold python robe, holding a whisk in his arms, with kind eyes and a gentle appearance.
He is the personal eunuch of Beimo Emperor Mu Jin and the most senior eunuch in the palace, An Zhong.
It was completely different from the sinister aura on Yue Xie's body, but it was even harder for people to see his true depth.
"Your Highness, His Majesty wants to see you." An Zhong walked over slowly and saluted.
Qi Wuhan glanced at the empty stone box in his hand, curled his lips and smiled faintly, "So it's with my father."
An Zhong made a gesture of invitation and walked away.
After arriving at Qinglong Garden, An Zhong led Qi Wuhan to the Qiongyu Terrace by the water, and then retreated.
"Father."
The figure standing with his back to him was thin and lonely. His back looked a bit like Qi Wuhan, and the tone of his voice was also similar, with a little indifference, but more peaceful, as if he had concealed his edge and likes and dislikes, making it harder for people to guess his thoughts.
"I heard that you went to the Treasure Pavilion?"
"yes."
"What are you going to do?"
"Take the dragon scale."
"What do you want dragon scales for?"
"Save people."
The figure turned around, his eyebrows and eyes were similar to Qi Wuhan's, but his eyes were more lonely and cold. Even though his face had a few traces of time, he still looked handsome. His appearance when he was young must have been rare in the world.
"Jue'er, do you know why I gave you this name?"
Qi Wuhan replied, "Your Majesty, Father hopes that I can cut off all feelings and love."
"Love is a person's weakness, and I don't want you to have a weakness."
"So it was the Emperor who sent someone to poison me?"
When he asked this question, his tone was calm, his expression was indifferent, and his eyes were shrouded in a dark and cold light.
The figure turned his back to him again and said, "I can give you this dragon scale, but I have conditions."
......
When Qi Wuhan returned with the dragon scales, it was almost dawn.
After Ye Rushui confirmed that this piece of dragon scale was the fire Ganoderma lucidum, he immediately began to prepare the medicine.
After Qi Wuhan came back, he stayed by the bed. When Ye Rushui brought a bowl of medicine over, he used his internal energy to drive away the cold for Jiang Lan again, then took the bowl and fed her the medicine himself.
After drinking the medicine, Jiang Lan's complexion improved visibly and her skin was no longer cold.
After Ye Rushui took her pulse, she said she was fine.
Xie Yun was so happy that he rushed over to hug him, but was politely rejected by Ye Rushui.
Qi Wuhan leaned over and tucked the quilt for Jiang Lan. A familiar and strange feeling flashed through his heart, as if he had done something like this before.
"Let her have a good sleep. She will wake up in the afternoon."
Ye Rushui asked Qi Wuhan to take a nap as well, as his eyes were dark. Then she examined Xie Yun and gave him a bottle of internal medicine to regulate his body and a bottle of external medicine to treat the knife wound on his stomach.
