Chapter 921 Injury (2)
If it were usual, Uncle Tang would have come to greet her early, calling her back and bringing her sweet soup or something, but today there was no one there.
Shen Miao was anxious and walked towards the yard without saying anything. She happened to see Uncle Tang standing at the door of the house, pacing back and forth with a worried look on his face.
Shen Miao's heart skipped a beat. Uncle Tang happened to see her. Shen Miao immediately stepped forward and asked without saying anything else, "How is he?"
"His Highness is seriously injured, and Master Gao is treating him." Uncle Tang sighed with a worried look on his face, "I haven't seen His Highness like this in a long time."
Shen Miao thought about it, then pushed the door open and walked in.
As soon as he entered the room, he was immediately struck by the strong smell of blood. Tie Yi, who was beside Xie Jingxing, was also inside, silently twisting his handkerchief. The blood in the basin was shocking enough. Gao Yang frowned, and was slightly startled when he saw Shen Miao come in. Then he said, "You... know, right?"
Shen Miao walked quickly to the head of the bed. Xie Jingxing's eyes were tightly closed, his face as pale as paper, and his lips were pale. His upper body clothes were pulled open, revealing layers of arrow wounds on his abdomen. The deepest was a knife wound. Unlike the last time Shen Miao saw it, this knife wound was clearly new, but because it happened to cover the old one, it was almost as if the old wound had not yet healed and the new one had been added, so it was deeper and more severe.
What made Shen Miao feel the coldest was that the blood around the wound was stained purple. She pointed at Xie Jingxing's wound and said in a somewhat unstable tone: "This..."
"It's poisoned." Gao Yang interrupted her decisively.
Shen Miao was struck by lightning.
After a moment, she gathered herself and asked, "Can you solve it?"
Gao Yang shook his head.
"This isn't just one poison, but a mixture of several. If I want to cure it, I have to first identify what the poison is. This will take time, but his wound can't wait that long..."
"If you can't wait that long, then find a way to make him wait. In short, his life is in your hands, and you can't make any mistakes!" Shen Miao shouted sternly.
Gao Yang was stunned. He knew that Shen Miao was not as gentle and kind as she appeared, but this was the first time he had seen Shen Miao speak so harshly, as if a superior was ordering his subjects around.
Even Tie Yi was stunned. He had always felt that this future young lady, while intelligent and scheming, was a bit soft-spoken. She usually wore a gentle smile, lacking a bit of cruelty. If she stayed by Xie Jingxing's side, she would inevitably become a burden in the future. Seeing Shen Miao's appearance now, it reminded him... it reminded him of the late Empress.
Shen Miao took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then asked Gao Yang, "How many days can he hold out at most? How many days will it take for you to cure his poison?"
"He can only last seven days at most, and it will take me at least half a month to detoxify." Gao Yang showed a helpless and even resigned expression for the first time. "The most urgent thing now is that he can't last seven days at all. His old injury has relapsed."
Shen Miao looked at Xie Jing Xing. He looked very peaceful when he lay in bed, like a noble young man asleep. However, this proud and good-looking appearance, as if he lived a life of luxury, actually concealed many battles of swords and spears. The last time Shen Miao looked at Xie Jing Xing's body, she saw that he had many old wounds.
She suddenly thought of something and said to Gao Yang, "Wait a minute." Then she left the house and walked into another room. Jingzhe and Guyu were waiting outside. They had not followed her to the hunting grounds that day, but had waited for Shen Miao in the mansion. Instead, they had waited for Xie Jingxing, who had been seriously injured. They were already panicking, and now they were worried that Shen Miao was overthinking. They wanted to say a few words of comfort, but they saw Shen Miao rush to the dressing table, pull out a small box from the drawer underneath, and open it.
