Chapter 553: The Poison King of the Western Regions
"Don't worry, I will do my best to cure him." Chen Qingqing looked serious. She would not take any patient's life as a joke. This is the professional ethics that a qualified doctor should have.
"That's good, that's good." After hearing Chen Qingqing's words, Chu Jiuqing felt inexplicably relieved and believed that she would be able to rescue Zhuyue.
After Chu Jiuqing walked out, Chen Qingqing entered the space with her mind and started taking blood tests, and the results came out soon.
The poison from the Western Regions is extremely poisonous. Although it is different from the poison Xiaoyu was poisoned with last time, it should have been caused by the same person.
This poison is based on the "Three-Day Soul-Returning Powder", with a few catalysts added that can cause rapid poisoning. The poisoned person will die within three days.
If Zhuyue were to be treated by others, he would definitely be dead.
Chen Qingqing quickly prepared the antidote and picked up the syringe to give Zhuyue an injection.
Chu Jiuqing came to Chen Qingqing's room and saw corpses lying all over the place.
He squatted down and carefully examined the deceased. A thin silver needle was inserted into the deceased's forehead. The corners of the deceased's mouth were black and his eyes were closed with bleeding. It was obvious that he died of poisoning.
The heart of the other corpse was pierced by a sharp arrow. He recognized this arrow as Chen Qingqing's hidden weapon.
She actually dealt with a dozen killers so easily. I didn't expect this girl to have such agile skills.
The corners of Chu Jiuqing's mouth curled up slightly, it seemed that he had picked up a treasure.
"Zhuifeng, collect these sharp arrows, clean them, and give them to Miss Chen."
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Zhuifeng was shocked. He had always thought that Chen Qingqing was just a small doctor.
She had killed so many assassins by herself, and only then did he realize that he had made a mistake. He couldn't help but shudder.
You must not offend Chen Qingqing in the future, otherwise the consequences will be serious.
He bent down and recovered all the crossbow arrows shot by Chen Qingqing, as well as the silver needles on the forehead of the deceased. He planned to clean them and return them to Chen Qingqing to win a little favor from her.
Chen Qingqing treated Zhuyue's poison wound and waited until his complexion gradually recovered before she pushed the door open and walked out. "Xiaoyu, Zhuyue is fine now. You can come in and see him."
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Chu Jiuqing's heart was completely relieved.
Chen Qingqing knew that Zhuyue was a highly skilled martial artist, so it was logically impossible for him to be poisoned. So how did he get poisoned? It was a bit puzzling.
She felt it necessary to remind Chu Jiuqing, so she said,
"The poison Zhuyue was poisoned with is exactly the same as the one you were poisoned with last time. It's the 'Three-Day Soul Returning Powder' from the Western Regions. However, this time the poison is a stronger version. It takes effect faster and is more severe. If you don't get treatment in time, you'll die from the poisoning within three days."
Chu Jiuqing frowned. Last time, the prince put poison in the wine and he was poisoned because he was not prepared. How did Zhuyue get poisoned?
His face was solemn. "It's this kind of poison again. How did she manage to poison Zhuyue? It seems we need to be more cautious in the future. If we are careless, our lives will be in danger."
"This poison is colorless and tasteless. It can be dissolved in wine or water, and can also be applied to weapons and hidden weapons. It is hard to guard against. I just don't know who studied this poison?" Chen Qingqing was a little curious.
Thinking of Zi You, Chu Jiuqing's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he said seriously, "I just fought with that masked man. If I'm not mistaken, this man should be the killer wolf under the so-called Western Region Poison King 'Zi You'."
Hearing that it was the Western Region Poison King, Chen Qingqing became interested, "Zi You? Who is he?"
"This person is not only a martial arts expert, but also a master of poison. If you're not careful, you'll fall victim to him. Last time, because of my carelessness, I was poisoned by his Three Days Soul Returning Powder and fell off the cliff. If I hadn't met you, I would have turned into a pile of bones by now. Since we failed this time, she will never give up and will definitely kill us on the way. But don't worry, I won't let her hurt you."
Hearing this, Chen Qingqing smiled nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I have the ability to protect myself!"
As the two were talking, Zhuyue slowly woke up. When she saw Chu Jiuqing and Chen Qingqing standing in front of the bed, she sat up suddenly and asked, "Why am I here? What happened to me just now?"
Chu Jiuqing pressed his shoulder and said, "You were poisoned by Ziyou just now, but Miss Chen has helped you to detoxify. You are fine now."
Zhuyue hurriedly got up and said, "Thank you, Miss Chen, for saving my life." Then he knelt down and kowtowed.
Chen Qingqing hurriedly stopped him, "Zhuyue, don't be polite. It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."
Seeing Zhuyue was fine, Chu Jiuqing was puzzled. "Qing girl, how did Zhuyue recover so quickly? I remember you told me last time that I had been lying in bed for more than half a month."
Chen Qingqing explained with a smile, "There's nothing strange about this. The poison in Zhuyue hasn't spread at all. If we delay for another hour, even if we take the antidote, we'll have to stay in bed for three to five days."
"I see." Chu Jiuqing said and ordered Zhuyue, "Tell someone to clean up this place and go back to your room to have a good rest. I'll go check on Zhuifeng and the others."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the room.
"Xiao Yu, wait a minute, I'll go with you." Chen Qingqing stood up and followed.
As soon as the two of them arrived downstairs, they saw the shop owner and a man who looked like a waiter being pulled out from the debris in the corner by Zhuifeng.
"Damn you, how dare you return my prince to me? I think you are tired of living."
The shopkeeper was so frightened that he was trembling all over, his pants were half wet, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Please spare my life, my dear, please don't kill me, I was forced to do this!"
"Yes, my dear heroes, please spare my life and don't kill me." The waiter also begged for mercy in a trembling voice.
Chu Jiuqing came closer and snorted contemptuously, "You don't have to die if you don't want to. Just answer whatever I ask. If you hide anything, I'll kill you!"
The shop owner nodded repeatedly, "As long as you don't kill us, we will tell you everything we know."
"Where did these people settle down? How many of them are there? Who sent you to assassinate me?" Chu Jiuqing's eyes were bloodthirsty, and the shop owner was so scared that he trembled all over.
"Your Majesty!" The innkeeper was dumbfounded. "Your Majesty, spare my life. I'm just an innkeeper. I don't know these people. I don't know where they are or why they want to kill you."
The waiter quickly followed up to explain, "Yes, Your Highness, we have never even seen these people before. Three days ago, they occupied my inn and said that they wanted us to do a big business with them. After the business was completed, they would give us a generous reward.
We thought they didn't look like good people, so we wanted to refuse, but they kicked and beat us, and threw the store owner and his family into the cellar, threatening to kill us if we didn't help.
"With a knife at our necks and threats, we had no choice but to give you a 'half-minute sleep' in your wine. Please spare my life, gentlemen. This matter has nothing to do with us. They forced us to do this. Please don't kill me."
