Chapter 114: Living a Life of Drunkenness and Dreams
Emperor Tiansheng was startled. Seeing Gu Huailing fall to the ground, he shouted angrily, "Call the imperial physician!"
He pointed at the young eunuch, his face gloomy and terrified, and said, "Take him away and torture him severely! Make sure to find the person behind this for me."
He slammed his hand on the table, and the emperor was so angry that all the ministers fell to their knees in shock.
"Bang!" With a dull sound, the little eunuch fell heavily to the ground.
Black blood immediately flowed out from the corners of his eyes, mouth, nose and lips.
He committed suicide.
No one dared to breathe.
The imperial physician hurried in carrying a medicine box. Shen Yuan looked at Gu Huailing who had fallen to the ground, his face as pale as paper.
The imperial physician broke out in a cold sweat as he took Gu Huailing's pulse.
Emperor Tiansheng was already annoyed, and he became even more furious when he saw the cowardly look of the imperial physician!
"Why are you trembling? If you can't cure the Prime Minister, I will bring your heads to me!"
He didn't expect Gu Huailing to risk his life to save him!
It was a waste of time for him to suspect him before!
The imperial physician withdrew his hand and knelt before Emperor Tiansheng, "Your Majesty, the steel needle is highly poisonous. The Prime Minister...the Prime Minister has not much time left!"
"Bang!" With a crisp sound, a teacup fell down.
"Cure me! Give me all the life-extending medicine! If you can't cure me, I'll chop you up right now!"
Chen Yuan was shaking badly. Gu Huailing, whom she had always thought was omnipotent, fell in front of her.
The moment he fell, he was still staring at the direction of Shen Yuan, his hand still tightly holding the soft sword.
Are you afraid that you can no longer protect yourself?
Chen Yuan burst into tears.
The imperial physician received the order and stuffed all the life-saving medicine into Gu Huailing's mouth.
Gu Huailing closed his eyes tightly. In his panic, Chen Yuan's hand was cut by the soft sword, and a drop of blood dripped into Gu Huailing's mouth.
Chen Zhao walked in carrying the unconscious and bloody Fourth Prince.
Emperor Tiansheng's heart skipped a beat again, "What happened to Ji'er?"
Chen Zhao was also covered in wounds. He knelt on the ground and said, "I failed to protect my master. I beg Your Majesty to punish me. The Fourth Prince and I encountered an assassin in the woods."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gu Huailing lying on the ground, "Sister, what happened to my brother-in-law?"
Shen Yuan seemed to have just come back to her senses, her eyes full of tears, she looked at Shen Zhao in a panic, "Zhao'er, sir... he has been poisoned."
"I'm going to find Mr. Chen!"
Shen Zhao immediately turned around and left.
Shen Yuan's hands were shaking badly, "It's too late to go back and forth, so let's take the adults with us now."
Shen Zhao was much calmer than Shen Yuan.
He knelt before Emperor Tiansheng, and before he could say anything, Emperor Tiansheng spoke, "Take the Prime Minister there quickly! Make sure he is cured! And send a team of imperial guards to escort him."
Gu Huailing cannot make any mistakes.
The carriage sped along the road, so fast that its outline could hardly be seen.
Shen Yuan sat in the carriage, holding Gu Huailing in her arms, "Sir, nothing must happen to you."
Old Chen had already been taken to the Gu Mansion and was waiting at the gate.
When the carriage stopped, Gu Yao hurried over, pulling Old Chen.
Gu Huailing was carried down, and before he could enter the mansion, Old Chen sealed the blood vessels all over his body with silver needles.
"Hurry up and carry the person in."
Inside the room, everyone stared at Mr. Chen with bated breath.
Shen Yuan's face was pale and there were bloodstains on his clothes.
Gu Yao's face was full of seriousness, which was rare to see. "Sister-in-law, go change your clothes first. I'll stay here."
Shen Yuan shook his head, "I want to protect him."
After an incense stick of time, Old Chen finally took out the steel needle from Gu Huailing's body.
A mouthful of black blood spurted out of Gu Huailing's mouth.
Chen Yuan's face lit up with joy, "My Lord, are you okay? You can wake up now, right?"
Chen Lao's face was solemn. He shook his head and sighed, "Master, the Prime Minister was poisoned by the drug of drunkenness and dreamlessness."
Old Chen looked at Shen Yuan's face, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
The master finally found happiness, so does he have to endure the pain of separation?
He only hated that he couldn't bring people back to life and relieve his master's worries.
Chen Yuan's voice was hoarse, "What is a life of drunkenness and dreamlessness?"
"Drunkenness and Dreaming of Death is a secret medicine that has been lost to the Nanchu royal family. Only saints of all generations have the antidote. This is what I have read in ancient books."
Chen Zhao slammed his fist on the table, "Nan Chu has been destroyed and now belongs to my Great Jin. Where can I find the Saint Maiden of Nan Chu?"
Chen Yuan looked at Gu Huailing's tightly closed brows. He had lost his usual solemnity. Now he was sleeping like a beautiful woman.
"What will happen if you get drunk and dream?" Chen Yuan held Gu Huailing's hand.
"Those who are poisoned by the thorn will experience all the sufferings of life in their dreams, and their bodies will suffer from endless pain and die with hatred."
How vicious!
The room fell silent, and Shen Yuan felt dizzy. Fortunately, Gu Yao was quick to support her.
Chen Yuan calmed down and ordered in a deep voice, "Three-nine-four-nine, the two of you send all the secret guards in the mansion out to find the antidote for the "drunkenness, dream, and death" poison. If someone can administer this poison, there must be an antidote."
Sanjiu Sijiu immediately took the order and went forward.
Shen Yuan had forced himself to calm down completely at this point.
She looked at Chen Zhao, "Zhao'er, all eyes in the capital are now on our Gu Mansion. Sister wants you to hold the court steady and not let anyone with ulterior motives take advantage of the situation."
After saying that, she turned her gaze to Gu Yao, "Yao'er, your elder brother saved the emperor with his life. The emperor won't force you to get married in the short term. You will stay in the mansion these days, and you will send anyone who comes to the Marquis' Mansion back. Can you do that?"
Gu Yao nodded, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely not hold you back."
After arranging everything, Chen Yuan asked everyone to leave.
She held a handkerchief and sat beside Gu Huailing's bed.
The man seemed to be really trapped in a nightmare, with his brows deeply furrowed.
Chen Yuan looked at his eyebrows and said with a hint of tears in her tone, "Are you stupid?"
The handkerchief in her hand was already cold.
Chen Yuan dipped the handkerchief into the copper basin again. Her eyes were full of tears. When she took out the handkerchief, her hand accidentally knocked over the copper basin.
Chen Yuan looked at the water on the ground and could no longer hold back her tears. She lay on Gu Huailing and started crying.
She bit her lip and dared not cry out loud.
Gu Huailing is now unconscious, and the Gu family still needs her to hold her up and not fall down.
Tears fell drop by drop on the back of Gu Huailing's hand.
The man seemed to sense something and moved his fingers, but he was still unconscious.
Chen Yuan stayed with him all night, and it was not until dawn that Gu Yao let Taozi help her to take a shower and change clothes.
Liu Qingqing also came to Gu's house early in the morning. She was holding a small brocade box in her hand. When she saw Chen Yuan, she lifted her skirt and ran over.
"Sister, I have a poison-repellent pill here that my grandmother gave me. Can you help detoxify the adult?"
Liu Qingqing handed over the medicine box.
Elder Chen immediately stepped forward to check, "This detoxification pill can temporarily relieve your pain."
Chen Yuan looked at Liu Qingqing, "Thank you very much, Qingqing."
"I couldn't help you either, sister. Don't be sad, sister. The Prime Minister will surely wake up."
Shen Yuan nodded.
Liu Qingqing looked at Chen Yuan solemnly, "Sister, I have something to tell you."
