Chapter 225 Huo Junhua is dying, is he dead or alive?
"..." He Zhaojun frowned. She never expected that this would be the case.
You know, marrying a wife and a concubine into the house at the same time is a great humiliation for the bride. If He Zhaojun agreed, she would definitely become the topic of conversation and laughing stock of everyone in the capital.
He Zhaojun opened her mouth, but some words remained unsaid.
"Isn't it just getting married on the same day? I promise you." He Zhaojun watched the sun setting and the afterglow as red as blood. She felt anxious and reached out to take the pill on the table.
Getting married is getting married, but there is no telling who she will marry. One day, when I figure out what she really wants to do, I will definitely not let her stay with Wen Ziduan.
Jin Yuji was a Goguryeo woman after all, so knowing Chinese was already a difficult feat. How could she have anticipated the numerous loopholes in her writing? Fearing she might regret it, He Zhaojun grabbed the writing brush on the table and lowered her head to write.
"He Zhaojun and Jin Yuji swear here that they must get married on the same day. If they break this oath, they will be pierced by thousands of arrows and die of vomiting blood!" There are two copies. She signed her name first, then wiped her lip balm with her thumb and pressed it on the silk.
Jin Yuji took it and took a look at it, looking at He Zhaojun suspiciously, as if she couldn't understand why she agreed to this so easily. She just thought that she was going to save the dying prisoner Peng Kun, so she was eager to get the medicine. She suppressed her doubts and followed the same method to cover the fingerprints.
He Zhaojun raised an eyebrow, put the things away, and put the pills in her arms: "Madam Jin, take care."
She rode her horse towards the Peach Blossom Courtyard, where the disheveled Doctor Sun had been brought by Wen Ziduan. Fortunately, Doctor Sun was used to being dragged around, and had even prepared a portable medicine box in advance, so he could be carried away at any time.
The group hurried to the door and heard Shaoshang crying inside. He Zhaojun quickly asked, "General Ling? Shaoshang? How is Lady Huo?"
General Cui came to open the door with traces of tears on his face. The two juniors were already crying uncontrollably in front of Huo Junhua's bed. Shao Shang was in tears. When she saw He Zhaojun coming, she hurriedly took Zhaojun's hand.
"Sister Zhaojun, you are so powerful, you must have a way to save Jungu, right? Please, save Jungu... Zisheng only has her as a blood relative in this world. Without her, Zisheng really can't find his way back..."
He Zhaojun glanced at Ling Buyi, who was kneeling silently beside her, crying very restrainedly. But how could a single tear from such a ruthless man express all the bitterness and pain he had endured?
"General Ling, I found a pill that is said to keep someone alive for a hundred days. If we can find a way to save them during this period, we might be able to bring them back to life."
Ling Buyi raised his head and stared at the pill in He Zhaojun's hand. At this time, Huo Junhua was breathing out more than breathing in, and it was obvious that he would die in a few more breaths.
Doctor Sun quickly took the pill and examined it, his expression hesitant. "General Ling, this pill is very similar to the Soul-Settling Pills mentioned in ancient books. However, I have never seen the real thing, so I can't tell whether it's real or not. If you take it with strong liquor, you can almost immediately tell the difference."
"May I ask, Princess Ancheng, where did you get this medicine?"
"Jin Yuji, this is her dowry."
Doctor Sun nodded quickly, "Many of these herbs are indeed produced in the north. If they were kept in the Goguryeo Palace, they are very likely to be authentic."
He placed his hand on Huo Junhua's pulse and shook his head repeatedly, "Medicine and medicine are in vain. He won't last much longer! General, please make a decision soon."
Ling Buyi jumped up from the ground and stretched out his hand to General Cui: "General Cui, give me some wine!"
