Wang Xinyu did not stop what she was doing. In his haste, Su Jinze pushed the sword forward a little, and the slight sting made her frown slightly.
The thin, emaciated girl had a frail figure, but she didn't turn around.
Su Jinze was surprised by her fearlessness. When he looked down again, his legs were being held by her legs, one on each side.
Two small faces, different in appearance but with the same expression, simultaneously gave him a reproachful look.
"I want to protect His Majesty."
This girl doesn't look like someone who knows how to handle a dagger. If her hand slips, it could be a capital offense!
Empress: "Young General, please step back. I think she has some skill."
These young girls are really interesting. The four girls in this room are all unique, and it's only now that I've calmed down that I realize how delightful they are.
She had a gut feeling that she could trust this girl.
Wang Xinyu used a dagger to pry open Emperor Jingming's clothes at the chest. The skin hidden beneath the clothes was slightly raised, and there was a black mark near the tip of his heart. The color was visibly intensifying.
Wang Xin's language is concise and to the point: "Gu".
Yue Wen quickly handed over the mother Gu in his hand. Wang Xinyu stared blankly at the badly damaged mother Gu for a moment. The Heart-Eating Gu was extremely fast; once it burrowed into a human body, it wouldn't come out until it had completely devoured the person. Who here had the ability to turn a Heart-Eating Gu into this state?
This stuff is highly poisonous!
Wang Xinyu had been fed many things by the witch doctor, and her blood was the best catalyst. However, she needed someone to catch the venomous insect. The venomous insect was extremely fast and usually only left the body once. If the opportunity to catch it wasn't seized, it would directly attack the heart if it invaded the body again.
"Grasp."
Everyone looked at Physician Wang, urgently needing his explanation: "What do you mean?"
"Does the whispered message mean I should capture either the offspring or the mother Gu?"
Wang Xinyu nodded, "Zi, Gu."
Su Jinze volunteered: "I'm faster than you guys, I'll catch them. Just in case, I'd like to ask the Grand Preceptor to come with me. If anything unexpected happens, the Grand Preceptor can step in."
Yuewen: "Okay."
Wang Xinyu took her own blood and placed the mother Gu inside. The mother Gu, having absorbed human blood, continued to grow larger, and its originally dark body emitted a faint blue light, making the patterns on it clearly visible.
The mother Gu's excitement caused the offspring Gu to move even faster in Emperor Jingming's body. When it reached the tip of his heart and pushed the skin high, Wang Xinyu, who had been waiting for the right moment, swiftly made a cut.
The skin was torn open, and blood gushed out. The strong smell of blood assaulted everyone's nostrils. Yuewen immediately covered the noses of Qiuqiu and Princess Funing, and the Empress also covered her mouth, afraid of making a sound that might disturb Wang Xinyu.
A tiny insect, about the size of a fingernail, poked its head out of the wound, and sharp serrations could be seen in its split mouth.
Just as Su Jinze was about to make a move, he felt a furry flash across his palm, and when he came to his senses, there was nothing in front of him.
His reaction was too slow!
Yuewen patted him on the shoulder: "It's not that your movements are slow, it's that they're too fast."
The chubby orange cat held the worm under its paw, its vertical pupils wide open. Oh no, it acted on instinct again!
Wang Xinyu lost her composure for the first time: "Poison! Poison! Poison!"
I'll say it again, this stuff is poisonous!
Little Fatty Orange nodded, "I understand!"
The fat paw slammed down, leaving only a clump of worm cake behind...
Don't be afraid, the poisonous insect is dead.
Wang Xinyu's lips twitched, and with a backhand slash, she plunged the dagger in her hand into the mother Gu, which was already the size of an infant's fist.
"Help! Someone!"
Imperial Physician Wang pushed aside the inconvenient Su Jinze, tore off Emperor Jingming's nightgown and pressed it to the wound, shouting to Eunuch Liu: "Eunuch, quickly prepare strong liquor, a white towel, hot water, and needles and thread!"
No one else needed to worry about the stitching; Imperial Physician Wang treated Emperor Jingming's wound very well.
The Empress sat by the bedside, carefully observing Emperor Jingming's pale face, and asked Imperial Physician Wang, "Ask your granddaughter if His Majesty is better now?"
Before Physician Wang could speak, Wang Xinyu said, "Drink the medicine, and sunbathe."
"Write a prescription."
The Imperial Hospital has everything it needs; it can now prepare medicine for His Majesty.
There's no need to worry about sunbathing; the sun's been so strong these past two days that it'll make your skin peel!
only……
Sister Xinyu can't read!
Chiu Chiu was worried about her uncle, the emperor, because, "She's illiterate, just like me!"
Su Jinze: "..."
"Your Majesty, why don't we let Miss Wang go to the Imperial Hospital herself? His Majesty's affairs must be handled personally."
"General Su is right. Eunuch Liu, Physician Wang, you must not make the slightest mistake while following Miss Wang!"
"yes!"
The venomous insect has been removed. With Wang Xinyu's blood as a medicinal guide, all that's needed is to prepare the necessary antidote ingredients.
Seeing that Emperor Jingming was no longer in mortal danger, Yuewen took Jiang Jiaoyue and left. But Qiuqiu could not leave.
The Empress stroked her soft, black hair twice and whispered, "Chirp, shall we wait until His Majesty wakes up before we leave?"
It would be best to share some of the good fortune with His Majesty.
I only pray that Heaven will protect the Great Zhou and that nothing bad will happen at this critical juncture!
Holding Qiuqiu in the Empress's arms, she bent down and reached out to touch Emperor Jingming's forehead. The Empress smiled faintly, "Would you like to touch His Majesty?"
"His Majesty is the supreme ruler, and cannot be easily touched by others. Since it's a chick, let's touch it before he wakes up."
Touch the dragon's head, and you'll be strong and healthy.
Qiuqiu mimicked how her mother usually touched her forehead, touching Emperor Jingming's forehead three times. On the third touch, Emperor Jingming slowly opened his eyes.
"Your Majesty is awake!"
"His Majesty has really woken up!"
Emperor Jingming lay weakly on the bed and said to the Empress, "Empress, I saw Emperor Taizu."
Queen: “???”
"Guards! His Majesty's poison has not yet been cleared. Summon Imperial Physician Wang and Miss Wang back again!"
"Cough cough cough!" Emperor Jingming coughed violently a few times, the coughing action tearing at the wound in his heart, a heart-wrenching pain causing tears to well up in his eyes.
Chuchu quickly wiped his eyes, saying, "[Wipe away your dragon tears, Your Majesty, be strong!]"
Emperor Jingming: "Good child, you still know how to care about me at a time like this."
Chirp puffed out its chest proudly, [So understanding!]
Emperor Jingming truly saw his great-grandfather. "The great-grandfather said that I was protected by a koi fish and would surely be able to turn bad luck into good and live a long life. Then I woke up."
The Empress Dowager was saved by a koi fish appearing in her dream, and he also came back to life under the koi fish's protection.
"A divine carp has descended to earth, protected by the Great Ancestor!"
The Empress was at a loss for words. Su Jinze also lowered his head.
Only Qiuqiu and Princess Funing, those two dim-witted fools, were still laughing foolishly. The founding emperor destroyed the Liang Kingdom, and then the remnants of the Liang Kingdom assassinated His Majesty—what a cycle of cause and effect!
"Your Majesty, has it been determined who poisoned me?"
The Empress sighed, "Your Majesty, General Su has captured the man. Once Your Majesty recovers, you can personally interrogate him."
Who is it?
"Bai Wujin, a remnant of the previous dynasty!"
