Chapter 342 I Will Be Responsible for You
This kiss was extremely long.
Song Yiren closed her eyes, hugged Li Nuo tightly, and responded to him passionately and intensely.
From Daxia to Zhao, she has been waiting for this moment for a long time.
As time passed, her heart gradually calmed down from the pounding at the beginning.
The next moment, a powerful force suddenly surged out from her dantian and quickly filled all her meridians.
If the true qi of the fourth realm is like a surging river, it is unstoppable and majestic.
At this moment, the true energy in her body is like a vast lake. Although there are no ripples on the surface, there is endless vastness hidden beneath the water.
After practicing hard, he finally achieved the Grandmaster level he had been longing for, without any sound or trace.
And the marriage she had always dreamed of finally arrived.
At this moment, all the predictions of the old fortune teller came true for her.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
This long kiss had not yet ended when there was a hurried knock on the door.
The sudden voice pulled Song Yiren out of her fantasy. She quickly pushed Li Nuo away, lowered her head, and said with a blushing face, "Go open the door, in case someone else has something urgent..."
Li Nuo walked out of the room and headed towards the courtyard gate unhappily.
Why are you knocking so early in the morning?
He'd better be in trouble, otherwise Li Nuo will make him get into trouble!
Inside the room, Song Yiren stood there in a daze, covering her face with her hands, only to find that her face was burning.
Although she had been looking forward to this day, when it finally came, she was so panicked that she didn't know what to do.
He kissed her when she woke up, he kissed her on the mouth and even stuck out his tongue... Does this count as a confession?
Li Nuo walked to the door, opened it, and saw Doctor Sun standing outside anxiously.
Before Li Nuo could ask, Doctor Sun said hurriedly, "Doctor Li, something bad has happened to the Sixth Princess. You should go to the palace and take a look!"
…
Zhao State.
The Imperial Palace.
Early this morning, the palace was under complete martial law.
The morning court meeting was cancelled, and officials returned to their respective offices. All the famous doctors in the city were urgently summoned to the palace.
Although the inside story is still unclear, people can guess that something big must have happened.
Zhaoyang Palace.
Eunuchs and palace maids frequently entered and exited the hall in a hurry.
Several princes stood outside the palace waiting nervously.
The hall was filled with doctors at the fourth level. Doctor Chen stood in front of the bed, looking at the sleeping woman on the bed, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
An old eunuch stood beside him, frowning and asking, "Mr. Chen, Your Majesty has asked several times, what happened to the Sixth Princess? Why is she unconscious?"
Doctor Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "My medical skills are not good enough to find out the cause of the Sixth Princess's coma. Please ask the chief steward to report to His Majesty that I have sent someone to invite Master, and he should be here soon..."
The old eunuch nodded, turned around and walked away quickly.
Doctor Chen looked at one of them and asked, "Brother Jiang, what do you think?"
Doctor Jiang shook his head and said, "The pulse is stable, and the Qi detection can't find any abnormalities. It doesn't look like poisoning. This is the only case I've seen in my life, and I really have no clue..."
Doctor Chen asked other doctors, but they all shook their heads helplessly.
He rubbed his eyebrows again and suddenly felt a headache.
This morning, the maid in Zhaoyang Palace reported that the Sixth Princess suddenly fell into a coma.
The Sixth Princess was about to ascend the throne, and the Imperial Medical Bureau attached great importance to it. All the imperial doctors rushed to Zhaoyang Palace as soon as possible, but they could not diagnose any abnormalities.
He summoned all the fourth-level doctors in the capital, but they were also unable to diagnose the disease.
There was clearly nothing unusual, but the Sixth Princess just couldn't wake up.
Just when everyone was at a loss, a figure walked in from the door.
When Imperial Physician Chen and several other imperial physicians saw the old man, they immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Master!"
"Greetings, Senior Medical Saint!"
When the other doctors present saw the old man, they all bowed and saluted.
The master of the Imperial Physician Order, the Lord of Medicine King Valley, is the only fifth-level physician in the State of Zhao and even in the entire continent.
The old man nodded slightly to everyone, walked to the bed, placed his fingers lightly on the woman's wrist, and closed his eyes.
There was total silence in the hall, and all the doctors even slowed down their breathing.
At a certain moment, the old man's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
Doctor Chen immediately asked, "Master, what happened to His Highness?"
The old man slowly retracted his finger and said in a deep voice: "It's poison."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the hall.
"What!"
"How did His Highness get poisoned?"
"Hasn't the lineage of Gu doctors been extinct long ago?"
"Who on earth is so bold as to use such vicious means against His Highness!"
Since ancient times, medicine and poison have been inseparable. If a doctor who cures illnesses and saves lives goes astray, he can easily become a poison doctor who takes people's lives.
Gu doctors are a branch of poison doctors. With their vicious Gu poison techniques, they can easily kill powerful people of high levels, making people terrified at the mere mention of Gu.
To poison someone, you have to get close to them first, and most poisons need to be taken orally.
Gu can be controlled from a long distance, making it hard to guard against.
Moreover, after the poisonous insects enter the body, they will absorb the nutrients of the human body and continuously produce poisonous poison. The poisonous poison is far from comparable to ordinary poisons. The poison produced by some powerful poisonous insects requires doctors of the fifth or even sixth realm to eliminate.
A doctor at the fourth level of cultivation cannot even sense the existence of the poison.
It was precisely because of this that the Gu doctors were jointly strangled by various families and have disappeared for hundreds of years.
The Emperor of Zhao came in with the help of two eunuchs, looked at the Medical Sage, and asked directly: "How should this poison be treated?"
The Medical Saint was silent for a moment, then spoke: "The poison in the princess' body is not an ordinary one. It hides in your heart. Within a few hours, the poison has spread through the blood to all parts of the body. Unless a sixth-level doctor takes action, or several fifth-level doctors use up all their energy, the poison in your body can be completely eliminated..."
The medical profession has long been in decline, and a doctor at the sixth level has not appeared in two hundred years.
Now, the fifth realm can be called the Medical Saint.
And there is only one doctor at the fifth level.
Although the Medical Saint did not say it explicitly, everyone could hear that no one in the current continent could save the Sixth Princess.
The Zhao emperor's body swayed, and after forcing himself to stand still, he looked at the Medical Sage and asked, "If I pass the throne to her now..."
The Medical Saint shook his head and said, "Only the true qi of a doctor can remove the poison. Moreover, if the insect senses danger, it will become extremely manic in an instant. Then..."
He had only said half of his words when the Emperor of Zhao already understood.
By then, his daughter would probably die even faster.
The throne can only be passed on to a living person.
His face was extremely gloomy, and he said, "Investigate, find out who the Sixth Princess came into contact with last night!"
An eunuch bowed and said, "As ordered."
As he walked out of the hall, the eunuch sighed in his heart.
At the palace banquet yesterday, the Sixth Princess came into contact with countless people. In addition to a group of royal family members, there were also officials in the court. Where should we start the investigation?
Inside the palace, the Emperor of Zhao looked at the Medical Saint and said, "Zhiyi, can she still..."
The Medical Saint shook his head again and said, "Although the poison that Her Highness has been poisoned with will not be fatal immediately, the poison will accumulate in the body over time. She only has three days to live at most..."
The Emperor of Zhao was silent for a moment, then said, "Everyone, get out."
Upon hearing this, everyone walked out of the hall.
Their eyes swept over the four princes waiting outside the palace one by one.
The Sixth Princess has already won the election, and it would be in their best interest if something happened to her.
The person who secretly murdered the Sixth Princess was most likely one or several of these four people.
Just as everyone was leaving, a figure with his hands behind his back came back and slowly walked into the hall.
The Emperor of Zhao looked back, a last glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes, and he said, "National Master..."
The skinny old man said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The Sixth Princess's life has not yet come to an end."
Although he didn't know how she could be saved, the Emperor of Zhao was no longer worried after hearing the imperial teacher's words.
He looked at the Imperial Master again and asked, "Is it possible that the Imperial Master could have figured out who poisoned him?"
The skinny old man pinched his fingers and said, "I never expected that someone has concealed the secret. The person behind this is not a simple person. I'm afraid he has big plans..."
…
A group of doctors walked out of Zhaoyang Palace and headed towards the palace gate.
The Sixth Princess finally won the election and was about to ascend to the supreme throne, but such a big change happened. Everyone would feel it is a pity.
The only one who attached such importance to doctors was the Sixth Princess.
If other princes replaced her, her previous measures to promote medicine would not last long.
The Medical Saint walked along in silence.
In fact, the Sixth Princess was not doomed to die.
As long as they could draw out the poison in her body, with the help of dozens of doctors at the fourth level of cultivation, they would be able to completely eliminate the poison in her body.
He also has a way to draw out the poisonous insect in her body.
But the price was all his cultivation... and his life.
Without his cultivation, he was not far from death.
He sacrificed himself for an unrelated woman. Although he was a doctor, he was not so selfless.
Moreover, even if the poison was drawn out, dozens of fourth-level doctors would have to give up all their cultivation to remove the poison in her body. In that case, Zhao State’s doctors would exist in name only...
Of course he couldn't do that.
At this moment, two figures suddenly chased from behind.
A handsome young man looked at the Medical Saint and asked excitedly, "Excuse me, are you the Medical Saint, Senior?"
Doctor Sun also hurried over and said to the Medical Saint, "Master, this is the Doctor Li that I often talk about."
In fact, even if Sun Jing didn't explain, the Medical Saint knew the identity of the young man in front of him.
At such a young age, there is no one else who has reached the fourth level of medical cultivation except the rising star who has recently become famous in the medical field.
Li Nuo bowed to the Medical Saint and said, "Senior Medical Saint, I have admired you for a long time. I have some medical questions that I would like to discuss with you. I wonder if you could give me some pointers..."
The Medical Saint nodded and said, "Ask."
He did not look down on this rising star at all, and believed that his future achievements would definitely surpass his.
But for now, he still had to respectfully call him senior.
"Thank you, Senior Medical Saint." As he spoke, he took out a banana from his sleeve, peeled it himself, handed it to the Medical Saint, and said, "Senior, please have it."
Doctor Sun scratched his head, wondering where this banana came from...
Li Nuo bowed to the Medical Saint again, and then said: "Excuse me, Senior, regarding the poison you just mentioned, could you please elaborate on it..."
Looking at the banana that Li Nuo handed over, the Medical Saint didn't know whether to accept it or not. After hesitating for a moment, he still reached out to take it, and then said: "Speaking of Gu poison, we have to talk about Gu doctors. They are a group of doctors who have gone astray and make a living by raising Gu. The Gu creatures they cultivate all have the most unique poison in the world and are extremely difficult to detoxify..."
After walking for a while, Li Nuo bowed to the Medical Saint and said, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Senior. I still have to go see the Sixth Princess, so I'll visit you another day."
Watching the young man leave, the Medical Saint looked at the banana in his hand and smelled a refreshing fragrance.
This must be the best product grown by the farmers. He took a bite and found it to be extremely sweet.
Soon, he finished eating the banana and threw the peel on the side of the road.
Just as he was about to leave, several yamen runners suddenly ran in from behind.
"stop!"
"If you throw fruit peels on the street, you will be fined ten cents, detained for half a day, and taken away!"
While the Medical Saint was stunned, Doctor Sun quickly explained: "Sir, sir, this is the Medical Saint. He doesn't know the rules of the capital these days. Can you give him some leniency..."
After saying that, he took out a silver ingot from his pocket and handed it to the man.
Upon hearing this, the two men's expressions became even more serious.
"What a convenience!"
"This is the law, even the princes have to obey it!"
"You dare to bribe me, take it with you!"
…
Li Nuo watched the scene from a distance, then turned and walked towards the palace.
When he and Doctor Sun arrived and learned from the Medical Sage that the Sixth Princess had been poisoned by a Gu, he secretly thought that something was wrong.
Of the two words "gu" and "poison", the poison is not the key point; the gu is the key point.
All toxins are produced by the mother Gu.
For a long period of time, Gu doctors were the ones that made medical professionals shudder. Even a doctor at the fifth level would die once he was poisoned by a powerful Gu.
Although the poison that the Sixth Princess was infected with was not a strong one that would kill her instantly, it was also extremely tricky.
Finding out who cast the poison is not the most important thing at the moment.
The important thing is to rescue her as soon as possible.
Once time goes on too long and the poison accumulates to a certain level, it will be really impossible to save the situation.
If he wants to get rid of the poisonous insect, he must first have the fifth level of medical cultivation.
Li Nuo's own cultivation was far from meeting the requirements, so he could only borrow the cultivation of the Medical Saint of Zhao State.
The Ministry of Justice was very close to the palace gate. While they were treating the patient, Li Nuo went to the Ministry of Justice.
He entered the palace and walked quickly to the front of Zhaoyang Palace. The Imperial Hospital staff were still discussing outside the palace. When they saw Li Nuo, Imperial Physician Chen immediately came up and said, "Doctor Li, you're here..."
Even the master is helpless. If there is anyone in this world who can save the Sixth Princess, it must be him.
Li Nuo had actually been here just now, but they didn't notice him.
Just as Doctor Chen was about to speak, Li Nuo said, "I know everything. I have a way to save the Sixth Princess, but I need a quiet environment and cannot be disturbed by anyone..."
Doctor Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "I will go and ask His Majesty."
He left quickly, and soon ran back, saying, "The Imperial Hospital will fully cooperate with Lord Li. What does Doctor Li need us to do?"
The fourth realm of cultivation was of no use, so Li Nuo said, "Just wait outside."
After saying that, he walked into the hall, turned around and closed the door.
Everyone in the Imperial Hospital could only wait outside.
A royal physician said, "Even our master can't help. Can Doctor Li really save the Sixth Princess?"
Doctor Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's wait and see. Doctor Li can always do things that ordinary people can't do. He is so confident, there should be a way..."
Inside the main hall.
Li Nuo walked to the table first and took a banana from the fruit plate on the table.
After eating half a banana, he walked to the bed.
The Sixth Princess was lying on the bed with a very peaceful expression, as if she was asleep.
The poison that infected her was actually the sleeping poison.
Once infected with this poison, people will die silently in their sleep. Unlike most strong poisons, it will not cause the host to die miserably in pain.
However, because it lives in the heart and transmits poison throughout the body through the heart, once it feels threatened, it will instantly become manic and destroy the host's heart. It is actually more difficult to deal with than those strong poisons.
In order to save her, we need to lure the insect out of her body when it can no longer sense any threat.
No more time to think.
With just one thought, Li Nuo's life span was instantly reduced by a thousand days.
But he had an additional medical qi in his body that was ten times more powerful than his own.
He had never achieved the fifth level of cultivation, but he did not expect that the difference of one level would require a lifespan ten times longer than before.
There was no time to feel distressed. Li Nuo looked down at the sleeping Sixth Princess, silently saying in his heart that he had no choice. He lowered his head and kissed her without hesitation, easily prying open her teeth.
The fifth level of medical power went up from Li Nuo's dantian, passed through his mouth, entered the mouth of the Sixth Princess, and slowly approached her heart.
Inside Zhao Zhiyi's heart, a tiny poisonous insect was wriggling constantly with the beating of her heart.
Drops of poison came out of its mouth and merged into her blood.
Suddenly, it seemed to be attracted by something and began to crawl rapidly upwards.
Until it came into contact with a force, it stopped spitting out venom and began to absorb this force frantically.
The Gu doctor is also a medical practitioner. All the Gu insects are refined with the nourishment of the medical practitioner's true qi and feed on the medical practitioner's true qi. The fifth level of the medical practitioner's true qi can make them forget all their nature and start to devour instinctively.
If an ordinary fifth-level doctor's cultivation were devoured in this way, he would have died of heartache long ago.
The true Qi of a doctor is not the true Qi of a martial artist. The true Qi of a martial artist is generated by the meridians and is inexhaustible. The true Qi of a doctor is consumed bit by bit, and once it is all used up, all the cultivation will be lost.
However, the power in Li Nuo's body was not originally his own, and its existence time was limited. He did not feel any pain at all when it was swallowed up.
He used his true energy as bait and easily fished the poisonous insect out of the Sixth Princess' body.
When the poisonous insect swam into his mouth, Li Nuo easily imprisoned it and quickly moved it outside.
This is a beetle not much bigger than a grain of rice, and it looks hideous and ferocious.
Even though it was imprisoned by the power of the Legalists, the insect was still struggling frantically, making bursts of shrill cries.
Watching it rampaging in a small area of the void, Li Nuo secretly felt lucky that he did not act rashly. Once he had angered it in the body of the Sixth Princess, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Once the poisonous insect leaves the human body, it no longer poses any threat.
Li Nuo clenched his fist lightly, a crisp sound was heard in the air, and the shrill cry disappeared.
Li Nuo didn't have time to pay attention to the insect corpse and looked at the bed again.
The Sixth Princess is still sleeping because the poison is still in her body.
But the next things will be much easier.
The true energy that was just now has disappeared completely. As long as Li Nuo pays another thousand days of his life, he can get it back.
Considering the poison in her body, Li Nuo might have to redeem it at least three more times.
How can it be considered a good loss to exchange a few thousand days of life for a queen?
Li Nuo sighed and said softly: "I gave you my life, you must treat me well in the future, don't forget your friends when you become an emperor..."
Zhao Zhiyi's eyelashes moved slightly, but Li Nuo didn't notice.
He took a deep breath, and a moment later, the medical energy in his body became full again.
Li Nuo held the Sixth Princess's hand and continuously sent his true energy into her body.
This time, after all his true energy was used up, his body felt deeply exhausted from the inside out.
Seeing her pretty face regaining some of its redness, Li Nuo gritted his teeth and filled his inner energy once again.
once.
twice.
three times.
Four times...
When Li Nuo injected the last bit of true energy into her body, he did not feel any trace of poison in her body and finally put his mind at ease.
After being squeezed dry by her four times, he could no longer wait for her to wake up. Extreme fatigue swept over him, and he felt dizzy. He fell on the Sixth Princess and completely lost consciousness...
Zhao Zhiyi's long eyelashes trembled a few times, and her eyes slowly opened.
Looking at this face so close to her, she smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I will be responsible for you..."
