Mingyou raised his hand and gently stroked Jiang Jingyu's face, wiping away the tears from her eyes with his fingertips.
"Master, don't cry. From now on, I will not be by your side. You must take good care of yourself."
As time passed, Mingyou's cracked lips gradually turned black and purple, and it was obvious that he had been poisoned.
Jiang Jingyu shook her head vigorously: "You said you would stay with me for the rest of my life, you said it yourself!"
"Don't you secret guards value integrity the most? Mingyou, you can't lie to me, you can't lie to me!"
Jiang Jingyuyu hugged Mingyou's neck tightly, her eyes were red and bloodshot.
"Master, I'm afraid I'll have to break my promise this time."
Mingyou looked at Jiang Jingyu with deep eyes, stroked her face with his big hand, and imprinted her eyebrows, eyes and facial features in his mind.
"You can't break your promise. I won't let you break your promise. Mingyou, you are my chosen queen. You are destined to share my bed and my grave in this life!"
After seeing Mingyou's lips turning increasingly purple and his face becoming paler and paler, Jiang Jingyu was completely panicked.
"Imperial Physician, quickly call the Imperial Physician!"
Mingyou looked at Jiang Jingyu greedily, Master, if there is an afterlife, Mingyou will never go back on your word. You will sleep in the same bed and be buried in the same grave with you, always by your side, through life and death.
In this life, he is going to break his promise...
Mingyou was very clear about his physical condition. After knowing that he would not live long, he did not mention the promise he had made at the beginning, and did not want to let Jiang Jingyu be disappointed in him again.
Mingyou held Jiang Jingyu's hand tightly, and said nothing more, just looking at her quietly.
He didn't let go until his eyelids became heavy, Jiang Jingyu's appearance gradually became blurred, and finally he closed his eyes tightly.
"Mingyou, Mingyou!"
"Wake up, open your eyes and look at me, please look at me, okay?"
Jiang Jingyu held Mingyou's face in her hands, tears streaming down her face like water.
The heart-wrenching cry spread throughout the imperial study, and the palace servants in the study lowered their heads with a solemn expression when they heard it.
Director Zhang of the Imperial Hospital rushed over with a medicine box. She was so anxious along the way that her hat tilted. It almost cost her her life!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"No need to be so polite, come quickly and see how Mingyou is doing!"
Dean Zhang was interrupted by Jiang Jingyu before he could finish his words. Dean Zhang, who had already lifted up his robe, shuddered all over and rushed to the bed in a few steps.
After seeing Mingyou with dark purple lips, Dean Zhang's face showed a solemn expression, and he had probably guessed something in his heart.
"Your Majesty, I will take Lord Mingyou's pulse right now."
Dean Zhang lowered his head and stretched his hands to the bed.
Jiang Jingyu originally wanted to hand Mingyou's hand to Zhang Yuanshou so that she could take his pulse, but Mingyou grabbed her too hard, and Jiang Jingyu had to struggle to pull her hand out of his.
"Hurry up and show it to Mingyou. I don't care what method you use, I just want him to live!"
Jiang Jingyu's voice was hoarse and her eyes were swollen like walnuts.
"yes!"
Dean Zhang agreed reluctantly, then placed his finger on Mingyou's pulse.
Jiang Jingyu held Mingyou in her arms, staring intently at Zhang Yuanshou's expression without blinking. "How is his health?"
After checking Mingyou's physical condition, Dean Zhang said solemnly, "Your Majesty, Lord Mingyou risked his life, using his internal energy to force all the toxins in Your Majesty's body into his own. Now all the toxins have accumulated in Lord Mingyou's dantian, and he..."
"Let's get to the point. How can we save him?"
Dean Zhang was about to explain Mingyou's current physical condition to Jiang Jingyu from a medical perspective, but she was concerned about Mingyou and had no patience to listen to Dean Zhang's words, so she interrupted her and asked him to get to the point.
"Your Majesty, although Lord Mingyou has used his own body to detoxify, due to his high internal strength, the toxins have all been deposited in his dantian and have not spread to his internal organs. Therefore, Lord Mingyou's life is not in danger for the time being. However, you need to detoxify him as soon as possible, otherwise he will die once the toxins spread out of his dantian!"
Dean Zhang did not dare to delay and explained Mingyou's current situation in one breath.
After hearing that Mingyou was only unconscious and not in danger of death, Jiang Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How can we detoxify him?"
"This... Your Majesty, if we can find someone with profound inner strength, perhaps they can force the poison out of Lord Mingyou's body. However, Lord Mingyou's inner strength is so profound that I'm afraid there's no one else in the entire Celestial Empire who can rival his inner strength. This makes things a bit tricky."
Jiang Jingyu pursed her lips: "Apart from this, is there any other way?"
"Your Majesty, please allow me to think about it again."
Dean Zhang lowered her head in thought. Jiang Jingyu looked at her without blinking, and although she was extremely anxious, she did not urge her.
After a while, Dean Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he was thinking of something.
"I remember now! There's a kind of snake called the Five Poison Snake. This snake feeds on poison. If we can find this snake and suck out the toxins from Lord Mingyou's body, there will be a chance for a turnaround!"
"Pass on my decree: whoever can find the Five Poisonous Snakes will be rewarded handsomely!"
"yes!"
There is strength in numbers. Jiang Jingyu didn't have much time left. It would take an unpredictable amount of time for the palace guards to find the non-venomous snakes. So Jiang Jingyu ordered the people of the entire imperial city to help find the five poisonous snakes.
With one imperial edict, the news that His Majesty was looking for the Five Poisonous Snakes spread throughout the imperial city.
Although no one knew why His Majesty was looking for the Five Poisonous Snakes, now that His Majesty had issued an order, the people of the imperial city set out to search for the Five Poisonous Snakes everywhere in the mountains.
Jiang Jinghe also received the news that Jiang Jingyu had sent people to look for the five poisonous snakes. She glanced at the golden snake in the cage and the corners of her mouth curled up strangely.
"Someone, change clothes."
Jiang Jinghe called out, and soon two palace servants came in from the outer hall.
"Your Highness, the court physician said you..."
The palace maid hadn't finished her words when Jiang Jinghe's sinister gaze swept over her and she obediently shut her mouth.
Finally, Jiang Jinghe changed his clothes and went straight to the cage placed on the windowsill.
There was a golden snake coiled in the cage, which was the Five Poisonous Snakes that Jiang Jingyu was looking for.
Jiang Jinghe got the Five Poisonous Snakes by chance, but he didn't expect that they would come in handy today.
She opened the cage and threw the poisonous creature beside it into it. The five poisonous snakes that were originally coiled around smelled the poison and instantly spit out their tongues excitedly, then swallowed the poison in a few bites!
After feeding the five poisonous snakes, Jiang Jinghe curled her lips. She turned her head to look at her unconscious arm, hatred bursting in her eyes. She picked up the cage and strode out of the hall!
With the five poisonous snakes in his hands, Jiang Jinghe arrived at the imperial study without any obstruction.
"Your Majesty, the Five Poisonous Snakes have been found!"
Jiang Jingyu, who had just helped Mingyou lie down, turned her head quickly: "Where is it?"
"It's right outside the Imperial Study. It was found by the Second Prince..."
