What, you want to use the blood of your closest relatives as medicine?

Upon hearing this, Yan Shu's first reaction was - is Ni Xiangwan's true identity going to be exposed?

So she immediately subconsciously looked at Madam Mu, wanting to know her reaction.

However, before she could see what Madam Mu's reaction was, she found that the emperor was looking at Madam Mu just like her.

She was stunned again.

Why was the emperor looking at Madam Mu?

Didn't he know that Ni Xiangwan was Madam Mu's biological daughter? ? ?

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Tsk, he couldn't help being curious for a moment and almost forgot about it.

So he quickly pretended to be very natural and looked away, looking elsewhere.

But at this time, everyone in the hall was stunned.

The Queen Mother said anxiously, "This girl was adopted. It has been more than ten years now. Where can she find her loved ones? Is there no other way?"

But she heard Doctor Jiang Yu said, "Please forgive me, Queen Mother. Now this is the only way. Wutou is a highly poisonous plant. After such a long time, the blood and internal organs of this girl have been contaminated by the poison. If there is no blood of her loved ones as a medicine to help her drive away the poison, this girl will most likely not wake up and barely maintain breathing. Even if she is lucky enough to wake up, I am afraid her brain and movements will be damaged." The Queen Mother took

a breath of cool air.

However, this result is almost the same as what Zhang Shengkang said just now.

So it seems that if you want to make the little girl of the Ni family recover as usual, the only way is to use the blood of a close relative.

Everyone sighed in their hearts when they heard this, and felt that this little girl Ni must be hopeless.

Alas, God is really blind. Why would he treat such a good little girl so cruelly?

First, she was abandoned by her biological parents when she was born. It was so hard to meet such a good adoptive mother like Madam Mu, but she was suddenly poisoned by such a tricky poison.

What can we do!

The queen mother was almost in despair, feeling extremely guilty, and didn't know how to explain to her good friend.

However, at this moment, Madam Mu said to Dr. Jiang Yu, "Just use my blood."

What? Everyone was stunned.

Yan Shu was certain in her heart, and sighed silently that the love between family members was indeed stronger than anything else. At the critical moment, Madam Mu still couldn't bear to give up her child.

Yuwen Lan thought so too.

At such a difficult moment, Madam Mu finally made the right choice.

However, except for the two of them, the rest of the people who didn't know the truth were all confused.

The Queen Mother thought that her friend was confused by anxiety, and hurriedly reminded her, "Ayu, he said that he wanted the blood of the closest relatives, the biological parents of the younger son."

Unexpectedly, Madam Mu said to her very calmly, "I heard it, your majesty, don't worry, just use my blood." The Queen Mother

was stunned again.

But seeing that her friend was calm and determined, she finally realized what was going on and hurriedly sent away the idle people around her.

Including Zhang Shengkang, the judge of the Imperial Hospital.

There is no time to lose. Hearing what Madam Mu said, Doctor Jiang Yu confirmed with her one last time, "This matter must use the blood of a close relative. Are you sure, Madam?"

Madam Mu nodded again seriously and said, "Yes, this child is my own. Don't worry, Doctor Yu."

After the voice fell, the Queen Mother finally understood. But

her eyes were still full of surprise.

Yan Shu also hurriedly pretended to be very surprised but tried to endure it.

However, she accidentally glanced at Yu Wenlan, but saw that his expression was very calm.

"???"

Strange, why didn't he look surprised at all?

Such a big melon!!!

Just as she was thinking this, she heard him say, "The most urgent thing is to save people. Doctor Jiang, please act quickly."

Doctor Jiang Yu responded quickly, opened the medicine box and took out a dagger, prepared a gauze towel, a silver bowl and other things, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to take blood from Madam Mu.

Yuwen Lan glanced at her and saw Yan Shu stretching her neck to take a closer look. He couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you fainting from blood?"

Yan Shu, "..."

Tsk, she almost forgot about it.

But she didn't want to leave, and said with an embarrassed look, "But..."

But how could she miss this? ? ?

Using human blood as medicine to save people! ! !

It would be a great loss if she couldn't see such a magical medical skill with her own eyes! ! !

However, it was too late. Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother immediately said, "Concubine Yi, please step aside first, so as not to get dizzy and cause trouble later."

Yan Shu, "..."

Tsk tsk tsk, she couldn't even watch the excitement.

She had no choice but to say yes, silently glanced at the emperor, and prepared to go out.

But the Queen Mother said to the emperor, "Your Majesty is also tired after a day, it's getting late, go back and rest early, there are still important government affairs to deal with tomorrow morning, don't tire yourself out."

Yuwen Lan also said yes, and ordered Fu Hai, "You stay here to help, if there is anything, report to me at any time."

Fu Hai hurriedly agreed.

But Yan Shu heard her sighing in her heart, [He can't watch it either? Well, she finally felt a little more balanced. 】

Yuwen Lan, "..."

~~

After leaving Ci'an Palace, Yan Shu's mind was still full of that matter -

the Queen Mother suddenly knew the true relationship between Madam Mu and Ni Xiangwan, but she didn't ask too much, nor did she blame them. It seems that the relationship between these two best friends is really strong.

However, I don't know if Madam Mu's blood will work?

...If not, do we have to find Ni Xiangwan's biological father?

Tsk, in this case, wouldn't this matter be even bigger?

Yuwen Lan listened to it and nodded silently - it is also very likely.

But she was worried again, [But it has always been Vice General Zong who has been silently guarding Madam Mu, and Madam Mu doesn't know where he is. Can he be found suddenly? Even if he can be found, he has to rush from Mingzhou to the capital, and I don't know if he will make it in time?]

Yuwen Lan, "..." He

is really a worrier.

Even if Madam Mu doesn't know where that person is, he knows, right?

So he said, "It's late, go back and rest."

He was about to pull her onto the imperial sedan chair.

But she said, "It's only 12:00, and it's still a while before bedtime. I'm sure there are a lot of memorials in the study. Your Majesty should go back and take a look. Don't make any mistakes."

Yuwen Lan, "???"

He frowned, "Who called me out just now? Now you're rushing me back to take a look? You're going to throw it away after you use it?"

But she blushed immediately and said hurriedly, "Why do you say that, Your Majesty? How can you throw me away after you use me?"

Ahem, haven't you used me tonight yet...

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Ahem, since you still want to use him tonight, why do you want to rush him to Qianming Palace?

Isn't a night of spring worth a thousand gold?

He raised his eyebrows and smiled, whispering, "I'm going to Qianming Palace? What about you? Won't you be lonely going back alone?"

But she said righteously, "For the sake of family and country, I can endure it. Besides, won't Your Majesty be back after reading the memorial?"

Tsk, the main thing is that she is now eager to know how Doctor Jiang Yu is going to treat Ni Xiangwan.

Even if she can't see it on the spot, she can watch it in her own palace.

And she has a hunch that at this rate, the book of The Widow and the Faithful Dog may be published soon, and she has to polish it quickly.

After all, Lord Zou is still pitifully hiding in the Hanlin Academy and can't go home.

Thinking of this, she saluted to Yuwen Lan and said, "I'll go back first."

Then she walked quickly towards the Ganlu Palace.

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Just thinking about Zou Mozhong not being able to go home, didn't you think about him?

~~

But in Ci'an Palace, although the Queen Mother still had a lot of questions, she endured them all and stayed beside Madam Mu to watch Doctor Jiang Yu treat Ni Xiangwan.

Doctor Jiang Yu first took some blood from Madam Mu's wrist, mixed it with a soup made from more than ten kinds of medicinal herbs, and carefully fed it to Ni Xiangwan, and then acupunctured the girl's main acupuncture points.

Not long after, some black blood flowed out of the Ni family's little girl's mouth and nose.

This made people terrified, and the Queen Mother hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

Doctor Jiang Yu said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this is a sign that the patient is detoxifying, which means that the medicine is working."

So that's it.

The Queen Mother and Madam Mu were slightly relieved.

However, right after that, Doctor Jiang Yu said, "But this girl is seriously poisoned. I'm afraid we need to draw blood several more times. I wonder if Madam can bear it?"

As soon as he said this, the Queen Mother hurriedly asked, "How many more times do we need to draw

blood?" - You know, Madam Mu is thin and weak. Seeing the scene of drawing blood just now, everyone was worried for her.

Jiang Nianqi felt the pulse of the girl from the Ni family and frowned, saying, "About twice a day. Let's see if it can be done within three days."

What, twice a day? And three days?

The Queen Mother said anxiously, "How can this be done?"

This mother is just a mortal body. How can she bear to draw so much blood within three days?

But Jiang Nianqi said, "So I want to ask, does this girl have other close relatives? If so, can they help Madam share the burden?"

After saying this, Madam Mu finally said, "She has a brother, but... they are of the same mother but different fathers."

Doctor Jiang Yu shook his head, "If they are of the same mother, it's ok, but if they are of the same mother but different fathers, it's not ok."

After the words fell, the Queen Mother looked at Madam Mu.

Before she could say anything, she said, "It's okay, I can handle it myself. It's just a little blood, I already owe her so much, even if I drain all the blood in my body, it doesn't matter."

Seeing her like this, the Queen Mother could only swallow her words back.

——This is her business after all, she doesn't want to, and others can't force it.

So, after a night, before dawn, Doctor Jiang Yu wanted to take blood again.

Although Madam Mu tried her best to endure it and did not cry out in pain, by the time the bowl of blood was taken, her face had turned pale and she was about to faint.

Seeing this, Doctor Jiang Yu shook his head and said, "Is the biological father of this girl no longer alive? With only the blood of the lady, I'm afraid that the lady herself will not be able to hold on before the girl is revived."

After hearing this, the queen mother finally couldn't help but said, "It has come to this, why do you still care so much? Tell me where the man is, I will ask someone to find him! You also said that you owe Xiang Wan so much, do you want both of you to die together?"

After the voice fell, Madam Mu sighed, and finally said, "Yes, then please help me find another person..."

...

~~

Early the next morning, Yan Shu had just woken up and received a message from the system, [The queen mother has sent people to Mingzhou to find the deputy general. ]

Yan Shu's eyes lit up immediately, [What's the situation? Madam Mu told the Queen Mother about this?】

System,【That's right, because her own blood was not enough to save her daughter, she had no choice but to ask the Queen Mother to help find the child's father.】

Yan Shu finally understood, but at the same time she was a little worried,【What if Deputy General Zong refused to come? Also, Mingzhou is so far away from the capital, even if he is willing to come, can he make it in time?】

System,【No problem, Zong Xinghai has already set out from Mingzhou.】

Huh?

Yan Shu was stunned,【How is this possible? The Queen Mother just went to find someone this morning, it would take two days for that person to send the letter from the capital to Mingzhou, right? 】

System,【Before dawn today, an urgent transfer order of 800 miles had already arrived at the Mingzhou Coastal Defense Battalion. Deputy General Zong set out immediately and has already traveled dozens of miles.】

Transfer order?

Yan Shu was stunned again. Why did the capital issue a transfer order last night?

Could it be that the emperor could foresee the future? That

's not right. Even if he could foresee the future, he didn't know that Ni Xiangwan's biological father was the deputy general of the Zong clan?

How could he be so accurate in the transfer?

...

Yan Shu was confused all day until night fell and Yuwen Lan stepped into the palace.

Yan Shu saluted him with a lot of doubts. It happened that the palace servants had set up the food, so she sat down at the table with him with a lot of doubts.

Yuwen Lan didn't notice it at first. He glanced at the table and saw cherry meat, chrysanthemum fish, crab roe tofu, braised lion head, pickled fresh vegetables, etc., all of which were her favorite dishes.

So he picked up his chopsticks and started eating, waiting for the girl beside him to sigh at the deliciousness. But he heard her thinking, "How should I ask him?" "

First of all, I can't reveal that I know the father of the little girl from the Ni family is Vice General Zong, and secondly, I can't reveal that I already know that he has ordered Vice General Zong to come to the capital. I can't even mention that the Queen Mother was anxious to find Vice General Zong to come to the capital this morning."

Because logically speaking, these things, as a concubine in the harem, she shouldn't know.

Tsk, it's really anxious!

She was so anxious that she couldn't even taste her favorite big lion head.

But at this moment, Yuwen Lan suddenly said, "By the way, the Queen Mother sent someone to Mingzhou to find someone this morning."

Yan Shu was stunned.

Is he going to share with her?

Her eyes rolled, and she quickly pretended to be curious and said, "Who is it?"

But she heard Yuwen Lan said, "A man named Du Xinghai."

Yan Shu quickly exclaimed again and asked, "What does the Queen Mother want to do with this man?"

Yuwen Lan deliberately lowered his voice, "Guess?"

Yan Shu pretended to think again, "Mingzhou...isn't it the location of the Zhenhai Marquis's Mansion? Could this person be related to Madam Mu?"

Yuwen Lan nodded quickly, "I think so too."

Then he lowered his voice again and moved closer to her, saying, "It is very likely...this man is the biological father of Miss Ni."

Yan Shu also pretended to be surprised and cooperated, "Why does Your Majesty say so?"

But in her heart, she was shocked. It turned out that the emperor seemed serious on the surface, but he was so gossipy!

Then Yuwen Lan said, "Isn't the girl from the Ni family using her relatives' blood to treat illness? I heard this morning that Madam Mu couldn't hold on because she had taken blood twice in a row. So, what other reasons could the Queen Mother have to find someone so anxiously?"

Yan Shu suddenly realized, and said, "Your Majesty is right. But Mingzhou is not close to the capital. It will take several days to find the person and bring him to the capital. Is it possible that Miss Ni can hold on?"

Yuwen Lan said, "What a coincidence. Yesterday, the Ministry of Works wanted to transfer a person from Mingzhou Coastal Defense to Beijing to discuss the reconstruction of the seawall. Someone recommended this person to me, so I issued an imperial edict to transfer him to Beijing last night."

Yan Shu paused.

So he transferred Zong Xinghai to Beijing because of the seawall reconstruction?

Come to think of it, that person has been stationed in coastal defense for many years, and he must be very familiar with tides and waves. It is not wrong to ask him for information.

Tsk, it seems like a coincidence.

At this moment, the doubts that had been bothering her all day were finally dispelled. She immediately felt relaxed and had an appetite. She hurriedly picked up the dishes and started eating.

Wow, I didn't expect that the cherry meat today is sweet and salty, crispy and plump, and it goes well with rice!

Hmm, this crab roe tofu is also fresh and delicious, soft and smooth.

Wow, this chrysanthemum fish really did what she wanted, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, sweet and sour, and delicious. It won't taste good if you eat it later.

...

Seeing that she had a bowl of rice in a blink of an eye, Yuwen Lan finally put his mind at ease and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

——How can you ask a little foodie not to eat?

It's really a sin.

~~

After finishing dinner, it was getting late, so the two washed up and went to bed.

——Well, what Yan Shu said yesterday was right. There was a pile of memorials in Yu's study. When Yu Wenlan came back after reading them, Yan Shu had already fallen asleep.

In addition, Yu Wenlan was not in a good mood because of the matter of the little girl from the Ni family, so he slept quietly.

Today, seeing that everything has turned for the better, he naturally cannot let it go...

After a lot of storms, Yan Shu fell into a comfortable dream.

I don't know how long I slept, and I vaguely heard Fu Hai's voice outside the palace door, "Your Majesty, the Zongdusi of Mingzhou has just arrived."

What?

Mingzhou, Zongdusi?

Isn't this the word she is concerned about?

Yan Shu closed her eyes and was instantly awake.

When she looked to the side, she saw that the emperor was still sleeping with his eyes closed, and it seemed that he had not woken up yet.

She was so anxious that she stretched out her hand and pushed him twice, calling softly, "Your Majesty..."

But he didn't respond.

She rolled her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Ni's biological father is here..."

As soon as she said this, she saw that he finally opened his eyes.

Yan Shu, "..."

As expected, the nature of human beings is to eat melons, and the emperor is no exception.

She hurriedly said again, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Fu said outside the door that the Zong Dusi just arrived."

Yuwen Lan finally woke up and said to the outside, "Tell him to wait in Ci'an Palace, I'll go there now."

Fu Hai agreed and hurried out to make arrangements.

Yuwen Lan also sat up from the bed and was about to get out of bed.

Yan Shu hurriedly said, "Can I go with Your Majesty?"

- Anyway, the two of them talked about it last night, and there was no need to pretend to be ignorant at this time. She just wanted to see what the younger loyal dog of Deputy General Zong looked like.

Yuwen Lan raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "This man is here to bleed the girl, aren't you afraid of fainting from blood later?"

Yan Shu smiled and said, "When he starts bleeding, I will look elsewhere."

Yuwen Lan said again, "After all, this person is an outsider."

Yan Shu said again, "Then I will hide aside and not let him see me." She

was already roaring anxiously in her heart, [Why are you asking so many questions!!! This is a classic scene where father and daughter meet for the first time and former lovers reunite!!! If you miss it, you will not be able to eat or sleep!!!]

Yuwen Lan, "..."

You like to watch such excitement? He thought he only liked to watch quarrels and fights...

But before he could say anything, he saw her come closer and hug his arm and shake it, "Your Majesty... Please... I really don't want to be separated from you..."

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Tsk, even though he knew that every word she said was fake, he really enjoyed it.

And if she continued to sway like this, she might not be able to leave...

So he said, "Then let's go together."

As he said that, he took her in his arms twice and finally got out of bed.

Yan Shu immediately agreed and hurriedly got dressed and dressed. After a while, the two of them set out for Ci'an Palace together.

When they arrived, they paid their respects to the Queen Mother, but heard the palace maid report that the Zongdusi had also arrived.

In order to maintain her daughter's treatment, Madam Mu had been forced to have her blood taken four times, and her body was on the verge of collapse. The Queen Mother was anxious at this time and immediately asked the other party to come in quickly.

Yan Shu also hurried to the inner hall where Madam Mu and her daughter were to avoid them.

However, she still secretly looked into the hall through the crack of the door.

After a while, a strong man came into the palace, knelt down and saluted the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, "I, Zong Xinghai, pay my respects to Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager."

This is the loyal young man!!!

Yan Shu was excited and took a closer look, but she saw that he had a beard and his face was sunburned.

"..."

This is too different from what I imagined.

But think about it, he set off immediately after receiving the urgent summons. He must have been on the horse all the time to get to the capital so quickly, so he didn't have time to shave.

Besides, a man who has been stationed in coastal defense for many years naturally can't have fair skin.

Especially now that more than ten years have passed, the young wolfdog in his early twenties is now a middle-aged man.

So it's understandable that he looks like this.

Especially after taking another look, he is still quite manly.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly glance at Madam Mu again, but saw that she had frowned and looked very complicated.

At this moment, she heard the Queen Mother say, "Let's not talk too much. I need your blood to save people now. Show your wrist and ask the doctor to take your blood."

Yan Shu, "..."

The Queen Mother is worthy of being the Queen Mother. This is too direct.

It was the Emperor who eased the situation and said, "Don't worry, just a little."

Of course, let alone a little blood, even if it took his life, Zong Xinghai couldn't resist at this time.

He immediately agreed, unbuttoned his sleeves, and asked Doctor Jiang Yu, who was waiting on the side, to come forward and take a bowl of blood.

Yan Shu didn't show off this time, and she consciously shifted her gaze.

After all, she still wanted to see the wonderful scene of reunion after a long absence. Cough.

Doctor Jiang Yu was quick and skillful. He quickly prepared the medicine and fed it to the little girl of the Ni family.

After about a cup of tea, Ni Xiangwan, who had been unconscious for nearly two days and two nights, actually moved his fingers and slowly opened his eyes.

Yan Shu sighed silently, and Madam Mu was already crying excitedly, "Wan'er... you finally woke up!"

Seeing this, the Queen Mother was relieved.

Then she said to the person in front of her, "The patient inside is related to you, so we have to take your blood to save his life. I'm afraid we will have to take your blood several times in the future. I'm telling you this in advance, are you willing?" As

soon as the voice fell, Zong Xinghai immediately said, "I am willing."

After the words, he paused and tried to ask, "May I ask, is Madam... okay?" When

this was said, the Queen Mother paused, Yuwen Lan raised his eyebrows, and Yan Shu said in her heart, "Fuck, you guessed it?"

But the system said leisurely, [It's hard not to guess. This man is an orphan and has been alone for so many years. The Queen Mother suddenly said that the patient inside was related to him. How could he not think about it? The only person in the world who had a relationship with him was Madam Mu. And she didn't know that she had a child, so she just thought it was Madam Mu. ]

Yan Shu accurately grasped the key point, [A man in his thirties has only had one woman, Madam Mu? And only that time? Wow, he is also a rare pure and loyal little dog. He is comparable to the emperor. ]

However... the emperor was limited by his ability before, and now he has become like this. Who knows what the future will be like?

If his mother becomes a rotten cucumber in the future, she will kick him out and live with her own money.

So, people still have to be prepared for danger in times of peace and work hard to make money.

Yu Wenlan, who was caught off guard, said, "???"

What do you mean by rotten cucumber?

Why did you kick him?

Also, you were clearly watching someone else's business, why did you suddenly involve him?

And your tone was so... fierce?

At this moment, Madam Mu suddenly came out of the inner hall and said to the man with a dusty face, "I'm fine."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention was cast on the two of them.

Yan Shu raised her eyebrows. Madam Mu couldn't help missing him so she met him? Ah, such an exciting scene actually came so unexpectedly! ! !

Sure enough, Zong Xinghai was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly knelt down and said, "Madam... I'm sorry for you..." Tears flowed out of his words.

Yan Shu couldn't help but feel hot in her eyes, so touching, so touching.

But at this moment, she heard Madam Mu say, "Don't say that. At first... I was also willing. Now I have something to tell you."

Yan Shu was shocked again.

- Madam Mu is going to tell him about the child?

She almost forgot to breathe.

Then, Madam Mu was heard saying, "You and I have a child."

After the words fell, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager looked at Deputy General Zong.

Even Doctor Jiang Yu, who was guarding a patient in the inner hall, pricked up his ears.
