Chapter 185 Qi Yunshen has half a year left to live
The house was as warm as spring, but Jiang Yunzheng's limbs were cold.
——The Xie family will surely perish at the hands of Xie Yuan.
Jiang Yunzheng's ears were buzzing. She stared at the name Xie Yuan and asked casually, "By the way, does mother have any sisters?"
Xie Yuan hesitated for a long time: "There shouldn't be any, right? Anyway, as far as I can remember, my mother has no sisters. As for whether she had any sisters before, I don't know."
"Second sister, why are you asking this suddenly?"
Jiang Yunzheng curled the corners of her lips: "Just learn about the family situation and make preparations in advance."
Xie Xuan said "oh" and looked at her hesitantly, "When are we going home?"
Jiang Yunzheng looked at her and said, "Let's wait until the Northwest War is over. There's no rush."
Xie Xuan didn't stay any longer and went back to the courtyard next door.
Jiang Yunzheng glanced at Wuyou, and Wuyou nodded at her.
Not long after Xie Xuan left, Qingying came to the yard. Qi Yunshen left Qingying in the Qi Mansion, responsible for Jiang Yunzheng's safety. No mistakes were allowed to happen, so the number of guards in the Qi Mansion was doubled than before.
"Doctor Jiang, it's my fault that I failed to protect your safety and the Huangquan Piling root."
Jiang Yunzheng asked Qingying to get up, but Qingying knelt on the ground and refused to get up. "If I had caught up with you at that time, perhaps I wouldn't have been captured and taken to Shuitan City. Everything could still be saved."
It's too late to say more now.
Jiang Yunzheng shook her head. "This isn't your fault. No one could have imagined an avalanche would happen..."
This matter concerns the safety of the master, and Qingying cannot let himself go because of his conscience.
"The best plan now is to find the Huangquan Piling Root again as quickly as possible." Jiang Yunzheng said softly, "If we delay any longer, it might really be too late."
Qingying nodded heavily, bowed to Jiang Yunzheng, and strode out.
It was getting dark at this time. Hou Yue came back after delivering the letter. She passed by the green shadow who was striding quickly.
Hou Yue: "I don't know what you're busy with all day long."
Hou Yue entered the room. She casually leaned on the couch, popping nuts into her mouth. She looked at Jiang Yunzheng and asked, "Why are you so pale?"
Jiang Yunzheng didn't respond. Suddenly, she said, "Please call Ji Fu in for me."
Ji Fu had not yet reacted to the relationship between Jiang Yunzheng and Qi Yunshen. Everyone in the mansion was like a badger eating a melon, wanting to eat but not daring to.
When she entered the house, she realized that Jiang Yunzheng wanted to ask her how to do needlework.
On the first day after returning to Xiazhou, Qi Yunshen directly sent troops to Fengye City and Yuehua City. Changyi City only had 40,000 troops and had no time to intercept the Daliang army.
On the first day after they left Shuitan City, Pingcheng sent reinforcements to Fengye City, but they were ambushed by Shi Chenglin's men on the way and suffered heavy losses.
When Qi Yunshen came back after dark, Jiang Yunzheng was sitting on the edge of the bed, studying a piece of paper. She was so focused that she didn't even notice there was someone standing in front of her.
Qi Yunshen suddenly said, "Doctor Jiang is an expert in his craft."
Jiang Yunzheng glanced at him and knew what Qi Yunshen was talking about.
"The sachet you made earlier was the first one I made. I've never eaten pork before, but I've seen pigs run away. Ji Fu drew a picture for me."
Jiang Yunzheng was about to sew socks for Qi Zhenzhen. She gestured to Qi Yunshen with her left hand and said, "Zhenzhen is wearing this size, so it should be suitable."
Qi Yunshen hummed, "Let's talk about it after your injury is healed."
Jiang Yunzheng smiled, put the things away, and prepared to continue cooking tomorrow. She asked Jifu to prepare the food for dinner.
With Qi Yunshen around, Jiang Yunzheng can completely free her hands.
The two of them were very close to each other, and Qi Yunshen fed her at a moderate speed. Jiang Yunzheng remembered that when she was unconscious, Qi Yunshen was also so focused.
In fact, the two of them had only been together for more than a year in their previous life. Every time they recalled it, those memories were like engraved in their minds and could not be forgotten.
Jiang Yunzheng couldn't get some fresh air for the time being, so the two of them stayed in the house after dinner. Jiang Yunzheng asked Qi Yunshen to stand up, and she used a ruler to measure his body shape.
Qi Yunshen: "Making clothes?"
Jiang Yunzheng: "Don't worry about it."
Qi Yunshen: "Be careful or you'll hurt your eyes."
Jiang Yunzheng glanced at him and said, "I didn't say I would do it for you."
Qi Yunshen: “…”
Qi Yunshen took off his outer robe and placed the amulet in his sleeve on the table.
Jiang Yunzheng took a look and saw that the four corners of the amulet were worn out.
Jiang Yunzheng: "Almost ten years."
Qi Yunshen followed her gaze and touched Jiang Yunzheng's head: "Why is your face still so pale?"
Jiang Yunzheng blinked and pressed Qi Yunshen's eyebrows, trying to smooth out the wrinkles.
"Maybe it's winter and there aren't many opportunities to go out."
It was a rare night that it didn't snow. Jiang Yunzheng sat cross-legged on the bed, and the gauze on her forehead was very conspicuous.
Wherever Qi Yunshen went, Jiang Yunzheng's eyes followed.
Qi Yunshen took off his shirt, looked at her, and then went to the bathroom to wash up with his upper body naked.
When he came out of the bathroom, Jiang Yunzheng was still awake.
Qi Yunshen turned off the lights and got closer to the bed. A faint scent of soapberry came to his nose.
Qi Yunshen hugged her in his arms and asked her, "What happened tonight?"
Jiang Yunzheng shook her head, nestled in Qi Yunshen's arms and slowly closed her eyes.
In the middle of the night, I heard the sound of even breathing beside me.
Jiang Yunzheng opened her eyes, hugged Qi Yunshen's arm, and put her fingers on his wrist.
Jiang Yunzheng pursed her lips. When she was in the capital, the poison of the White Bone and Green Water Grass had already invaded her brain, and now the situation was much more serious than before.
She stared at Qi Yunshen's sleeping face and her eyes gradually turned red.
Jiang Yunzheng took a deep breath and continued to lie in his arms as if nothing had happened.
The moment she closed her eyes, Qi Yunshen opened them and stayed awake all night until dawn.
In the next two days, Qi Yunshen went to the garrison in the early morning and came back in the evening.
After Jiang Yunzheng's right shoulder injury healed, she spent the day in the pharmacy and asked Qingying to find some ancient medical books. The gauze on her head had been removed, but there was still a faint mark on her forehead.
Neither of them took the initiative to mention the matter of Huangquan's spiritual roots, and undercurrents surged beneath the calm.
In the guardhouse.
Doctor Luo checked Qi Yunshen's pulse and shook his head. "Once the prince uses his inner strength, the toxins in his body will surge faster. If he can't find the Huangquan Piling root, he can only hold on for another six months at most."
Previously in the capital, it was diagnosed that Qi Yunshen had only one year left to live.
The only two places where the Huangquan Piling Root could possibly be found are Xiling Snow Mountain and Zhuluo Snow Mountain, where this herb can no longer be found. The possibility of finding it elsewhere is extremely slim.
As for the Winter Infant Gu, it can only temporarily relieve the toxicity, or relieve the pain when the toxin recurs.
When Doctor Luo said this, only Qi An was present.
Qi An couldn't help but tear up.
Qi Yunshen looked at the palm of his hand, where a few tiny black lines were faintly visible.
"Is there any other way?"
Doctor Luo shook his head with difficulty.
If there was a way, it would have been solved four years ago when Qi Yunshen was poisoned, otherwise it would not have dragged on for these few years.
