Fortunately, the man was already unconscious, so he probably couldn't feel the pain of being dismembered.
She held the scalpel and carefully completed all of this before stopping his bleeding.
The wound is small.
It was a knife wound.
The poison on the blade had already seeped into his body through the wound, and treating it from the outside wouldn't be enough; we needed to prepare medicine for him.
But right now, she can't get it...
[System, I need some medicinal herbs, can you exchange them for me?]
There was no other way but to turn to the system.
[I need to know what medicine the host needs so I can calculate the price for him.]
Oh.
It also calculates the price.
It's just a matter of how many points you need.
Xiao Tang listed the prescription, which contained more than a dozen herbs. Apart from one or two that were relatively expensive, the rest were all common herbs.
The system pondered for a moment, then quickly provided the answer: [Host, the medicine for this prescription requires 700 points to redeem.]
That sounds pretty expensive...
But Xiao Tang knew there was no time to hesitate now.
She waved her hand impatiently, "Fine, fine, 700 it is."
Otherwise, this person will suffer a relapse of the poison later.
Once the poison takes effect, the system will issue an alarm. If she doesn't get the antidote, she will be punished with electric shocks.
She didn't want to experience that kind of terrible thing again.
Ultimately, the fact that this dog system can switch medicines is pretty good.
[Okay, host. We'll exchange the medicinal herbs for you now. 700 points will be deducted, leaving you with...]
Xiao Tang took the medicine, went to the kitchen to find utensils and firewood, and then brewed the medicine.
Ning Cang lay there, motionless.
It seemed as if it were lifeless.
Xiao Tang specially laid out a thick quilt on the ground and pushed him onto the quilt to prevent the man from catching a cold.
When she finished brewing the medicine and poured it into Ning Cang's mouth, the man kept his mouth tightly shut.
Xiao Tang almost wanted to use an enema funnel to pour the medicine...
Fortunately, the last vestige of her rationality prevented her from doing so.
She gritted her teeth and gripped his chin tightly.
The man, who had been unconscious, groaned in pain and opened his mouth. Xiao Tang then picked up the bowl of medicine and poured it directly into his mouth.
The whole process was extremely rude.
Xiao Tang ignored the rude action.
The man, however, was successfully choked awake.
"Cough cough cough..."
"You're awake? Then you can drink the rest of your medicine yourself."
Looking at the bowl of medicine that Xiao Tang handed him, Ning Cang hesitated for a moment, but still took it and drank it down in one gulp.
Seeing how sensible he was, Xiao Tang was quite satisfied.
"Oh, by the way, what are you doing here?"
“I fled here from Rongzhou. I thought there was no one in the Imperial Preceptor’s residence, so I’m hiding here for now.”
"Oh?" Xiao Tang glanced at him in surprise.
That's true.
This was the first time she had ever seen this man in such a disheveled state.
His clothes were disheveled, and his hair was even more disheveled.
He sat there, still possessing a battle-worn charm.
"Did you bandage this wound yourself?"
"No, I was assassinated in Rongzhou and pushed off a cliff. Luckily, I survived because I caught a tree branch halfway down the cliff. I met a benefactor who bandaged me up."
“That nobleman happens to live in your capital city of Dasheng, so he brought me along to the capital.”
"I don't want to be a burden to him, so I'll take my leave."
Ning Cang's eyes dimmed when he mentioned this.
However, Xiao Tang could still see with his own eyes that he was sitting there trembling.
Xiao Tang sighed, draped a quilt over him, and moved the brazier in front of him.
This series of actions shocked Ning Cang.
The man looked up in astonishment, staring at her in disbelief.
In Xiao Tang's memory, this man had never acted so foolishly before.
It seems he was moved?
"Thank you..."
His thin lips moved slightly.
Thinking of something, he said in a low voice, "I heard you were appointed as the Imperial Preceptor. I must congratulate you."
He had been hiding in the Imperial Preceptor's residence all along.
The main reason is that this is the capital city.
The Regent's territory.
He had to hide; if Di Jingling's men found him, he feared...
Xiao Tang shook her head. "It's nothing. By the way, what happened to you? Did you trust Di Yanhen too much and get tricked by him?"
It seems that the name Di Yanhen offended him.
The man, who had just been all smiles, suddenly flew into a rage.
He gritted his teeth: "Yes, I didn't listen to you back then, I was wary of him, and he..."
His hand was on his abdomen.
This wound was inflicted by that treacherous man, Di Yanhen.
Seeing him clutching his wound, his face full of anger, Xiao Tang remained silent.
I told him to be careful a long time ago...
This man, on the other hand, got stabbed.
Di Yanhen is such a treacherous, cunning, and despicable man that he would even use the woman he loves most, let alone a mere business partner.
Xiao Tang was amazed.
The male lead's character is completely out of character.
"It's alright, you can go back and finish him off later. Anyway, the Regent has wanted to kill Di Yanhen for a long time!"
Ning Cang sneered, "It's Di Jingling's business if he wants to kill him. I'm going to kill Di Yanhen first, before Di Jingling does!"
Xiao Tang: "Hehe..."
More than anything else, she was curious about what kind of grudge he had against Di Jingling.
As for reaching the point of being mortal enemies?
Perhaps it was the gossipy gleam in her eyes that prompted Ning Cang to suddenly ask, "Do you have something to say?"
"Ah...that's true, I'd really like to ask you that."
