When she asked Yan Shiman to get Gu worms from the Gu master in Southern Xinjiang a few days ago, the master didn't mention any side effects.
It's not mentioned in medical books either.
Shen Yunjiao shook her head blankly at Physician Jiang and said, "I don't know."
After a moment's hesitation, Physician Jiang slowly said, "Once the Gu worm leaves the body of the person who has been Gu poisoned, it will cause them to lose a part of their memories."
"I had considered using this method to detoxify Your Majesty, but it was too risky," Physician Jiang sighed. "However, this is the only way to cure Your Majesty's heart-devouring poison."
Looking at the beautiful woman before him, Physician Jiang felt a deep sense of admiration.
Although there are precedents of using Gu poison to cure poison in Dayong, very few people would actually be willing to do it.
This type of Gu worm is called healing Gu, and it is generally only raised by doctors in the southern border regions.
These types of Gu worms have hot blood, which not only requires blood from humans with extremely cold bodies, but also requires extremely close physical contact between the blood donor and the person who casts the Gu worms in order for the Gu worms to obey and obediently enter the body of the person who is being Gu wormed.
At that time, he did not use this method on His Majesty, firstly because His Majesty, although he was the Crown Prince, was in a difficult situation, and Physician Jiang was afraid that he would encounter misfortune after losing his memory.
Secondly, it is because it is impossible to find a woman with an extremely cold constitution and meridians who can have physical contact with His Majesty.
When he took Shen Yunjiao's pulse yesterday, he already knew that Shen Yunjiao was the best candidate to save His Majesty.
Although Miss Shen met both of these conditions, her body was too weak, and the Gu worms would occasionally cause her to become agitated after entering her body.
“Young lady, it only takes three days for this Gu worm to travel from your heart meridian to your meridians,” Physician Jiang kindly reminded her. “After three days, you must draw it out, otherwise the Gu worm will cause your meridians to expand to their maximum extent, which will lead to self-destruction.”
“I know that too; the Gu Master from Southern Xinjiang has already reminded me.”
Physician Jiang sighed, "Miss Chen, it's not too late for you to regret it now."
“If an ordinary person is not poisoned, being infected by Gu is extremely detrimental to their body’s energy and blood. While the Gu worms have not yet spread throughout the body, you can stop now.”
"And aren't you worried, young lady, what if His Majesty doesn't recognize you after the detoxification?"
Shen Yunjiao smiled and shook her head after hearing this, "My mind is made up, and I will never regret it."
Seeing this, Physician Jiang took out his pen and ink and wrote a prescription for Shen Yunjiao. "When the Gu worm is removed, your body will become extremely weak. At that time, you should drink the medicine according to the prescription I have given you, which can help your body recover as soon as possible."
Shen Yunjiao took the prescription and thanked Physician Jiang.
There are only three days left. Hopefully, the poison in Xiao Huaijin's body will be completely cleared away in three days.
After leaving the prescription with Shen Yunjiao, Physician Jiang departed.
Just then, Xiao Huaijin also finished his morning court session and headed towards Feihua Palace.
The two met on the road. After inquiring about Shen Yunjiao's condition, Xiao Huaijin asked the old imperial physician to return to the Imperial Hospital to rest.
Although today is the first day of the Autumnal Equinox, the weather is still unbearably hot.
Inside the Flying Flower Palace, the ice blocks in the ice chest emitted wisps of cold air, bringing a refreshing coolness.
Xiao Huaijin's gaze searched for Shen Yunjiao's back, and finally found her sitting alone on the soft couch by the window.
Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, with a few strands gently falling beside her cheeks, adding to her gentle and graceful appearance.
Xiao Huaijin walked towards her with very light steps, not wanting to make a sound, afraid of ruining such a beautiful scene.
When he got closer, he noticed that Shen Yunjiao was holding a medical book, but the pages hadn't been turned in a long time, clearly indicating that her mind wasn't on it.
His darling was actually spacing out.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze, until a bird's cry from afar pulled Shen Yunjiao back to reality from her thoughts.
Shen Yunjiao suddenly sensed someone in front of her, and she subconsciously raised her eyes.
Standing before her was the man she loved, with striking eyebrows and bright eyes, exceptionally handsome.
He's so kind and gentle, how could I just stand by and watch him die?
But what would happen to their relationship if Xiao Huaijin really lost his memory and didn't remember himself?
"Jiaojiao, why are you spacing out?" Xiao Huaijin sat down next to her, gazing at her with deep affection and doting eyes.
Shen Yunjiao concealed the worry in her eyes, closed the book, and said with a smile, "While waiting for you, I thought about reading for a while, but as soon as I came into contact with the dense text, I felt extremely bored."
Xiao Huaijin laughed and said, "If you feel bored, I will have someone send you some interesting stories to read later."
Shen Yunjiao smiled gently, "Your Majesty, please prepare a carriage for me. You told my brother yesterday that you would send me back to the manor today. Sure enough, my brother has sent messengers several times to ask when I will be returning home."
Xiao Huaijin pursed his lips slightly, his voice filled with dissatisfaction, "How come I didn't know that Lord Shen was so inseparable from his sister?"
Shen Yunjiao smiled but didn't say anything.
Shen Qinghuai was afraid that if he stayed in the palace for too long, word would leak out and it would damage his reputation.
Of course, this is almost impossible. Xiao Huaijin said that it was highly unlikely that anyone would risk their life to spread rumors.
"It's hot now, you'll have to wait until it cools down in the evening before you go back."
Xiao Huaijin thought to himself that once the mourning period was over, he would immediately marry Shen Yunjiao in a grand and glorious manner, make her his empress, and keep her by his side.
He really didn't want to leave Shen Yunjiao at all.
Shen Yunjiao naturally saw through Xiao Huaijin's current thoughts.
She leaned gently on Xiao Huaijin's shoulder, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
After a long while, Xiao Huaijin heard her ask softly, "Xiao Huaijin, if you don't remember me, will you still like me?"
So that's why she was spacing out earlier?
Xiao Huaijin took her slender, white fingertips and gently kneaded them, saying softly, "Yes."
He liked Shen Yunjiao because of her childlike innocence, her carefree nature, and her occasional childlike naiveté.
Especially when Shen Yunjiao is doing something seriously, her focus and seriousness make him feel even more excited.
There is only one woman like her in the whole world.
Upon hearing that resolute answer, Shen Yunjiao felt a warm current flow through her heart, a sense of fulfillment from being firmly chosen.
She sat up straight, her almond-shaped eyes looking at Xiao Huaijin with a bright, watery gaze. Her cheeks flushed slightly, revealing a hint of shyness. "Um, I have two things to give you."
Today, when her brother sent his attendant to inquire about her affairs, she also asked the attendant to bring a small brocade box from her home.
The brocade box contained a pill made from seasonal herbs and a yellow sachet.
Shen Yunjiao slowly got up and carefully placed the brocade box in front of Xiao Huaijin.
The way it was treated like a precious treasure made Xiao Huaijin very curious about what was inside.
Xiao Huaijin sat up slightly and saw Shen Yunjiao open the brocade box and take out a black pill about the size of a thumb.
"Take this pill first." Shen Yunjiao placed the pill in Xiao Huaijin's palm.
She didn't intend to tell Xiao Huaijin that this was a life-saving medicine that could protect his heart.
As long as you take the Four Seasons Herbal Pills, you can successfully plant the Gu worm three days later.
