Anfu turned his head and mocked Wang Zhen with disdain.
"Flowers may bloom in a hundred shades of red, but people and dogs are different. Consider that little bit of blood, Eunuch Wang, as a token of loyalty to the Emperor!"
Many of Qin Yu's acquaintances, including An Fu and Liu Caiqing, played out this self-inflicted injury scheme.
Under the most legitimate pretext, Xuejian successfully arrived at Haitang Palace.
"Your Highness, this humble general needs to collect your blood donation."
"How dare you!" Sima Jing rebuked arrogantly, "Who do you think you are? How dare you hurt me?"
Taking out her magical silver needles, Xuejian said confidently, "But this is the Emperor's personal order. Everyone, including Eunuch An and Abbot Liu, must have their blood tested. Your Highness is no exception!"
Sima Jing was immediately gagged and could only helplessly extend his wrist.
Qiu Beiming had solemnly assured her that no one could detect or break this hidden poison, so she wasn't worried.
The silver needle pierced the fingertip, and a few drops of blood immediately dripped into the ritual implement.
But less than three seconds later, Xuejian quickly put away the magical artifact.
"The ritual artifact is not responding, Your Highness, you have been cleared of suspicion!"
As expected, Sima Jing was indeed the one who used Gu poison; the magical artifact she had hidden behind her body had turned black.
It takes some time for the blood donation to take effect and for the blood to react.
She could easily fool him during this lull in the spell.
Xuejian left in a hurry, and Sima Jing shook her head with a disdainful laugh.
The tyrannical emperor claimed to be conducting a thorough investigation, leaving no one unpunished, but his subordinates mostly just went through the motions.
If this can reveal anything, then something fishy is going on!
There's absolutely nothing to worry about!
While they were still enjoying their peace of mind, Xuejian had already taken the discolored magical artifact back with her.
"Your Majesty! The person who cast the curse has been found, and enough blood from Consort Sima has been collected!"
Upon taking out the magical artifact, Qin Yu and Liu Caiqing were overjoyed.
In this way, Zhao Yan can be saved!
While Xuejian was collecting Sima Jing's blood donation, Qin Yu secretly dispatched a large number of guards to search for other materials needed to break the curse among the people.
These materials were available in the palace, and the guards were able to find them very quickly.
Now that all the materials for breaking the curse are ready, Liu Caiqing immediately prepared the medicine.
Holding a pestle, clanging and banging, Liu Caiqing squatted on the ground, busy working alone.
"Abbot Liu!" Qin Yu stepped forward and asked with concern, "Would you like me to assign some people to help you prepare the medicine?"
"No need! Only I know the prescription ratios; anyone else coming would only make things worse."
Liu Caiqing wiped the sweat from her forehead, didn't even look up, and continued her work with great focus.
With each forceful thrust, Liu Caiqing's heavy, snowy breasts rose and fell in waves, creating a surging sensation that captivated Qin Yu, who couldn't look away.
But he knew that now was not the time to admire the beautiful scenery; Zhao Yan was still on the verge of danger, and he had to hurry to save her!
"That's about right! This should be fine!"
Liu Caiqing carefully handed over the bowl of medicine.
The medicinal herbs inside were completely crushed and turned into a muddy mess.
But what's amazing is that the medicinal mud, made from various materials of different colors, mixed with donated blood and the broken Gu, still appears transparent.
Looking at the crystal-clear medicinal paste in the bowl, Qin Yu couldn't help but marvel.
"It's so amazing!"
"Master Liu, now that the medicine has been prepared, please administer it to the Empress immediately!"
Qin Yu, after all, did not understand how to use this precious medicine, so he cautiously let Liu Caiqing do it herself.
But the latter looked at Zhao Yan on the bed, blushing slightly and saying with difficulty, "This medicine must be applied to every part of the Empress's body so that it can be fully absorbed."
"However, Her Majesty the Empress possesses the grace and dignity of a mother of the nation, and is of noble birth. I dare not act rashly. Otherwise, Your Majesty, please come in person!"
After bowing respectfully and finishing her speech, she tactfully left, also informing the other palace maids and eunuchs that she would leave the palace with her.
As Qin Yu took the medicine bowl, she couldn't help but feel delighted looking at that beautiful figure from behind.
sensible!
This Abbot Liu is so sensible!
Without delay, Qin Yu quietly approached the sickbed and eagerly and carefully removed Qin Yu's clothes.
Lying flat, Zhao Yan was as beautiful as Sleeping Beauty, her fair and tender body exuding an irresistible allure!
Even though he was extremely familiar with this body, Qin Yu still caught a glimpse of its entirety and was momentarily stunned!
What a perfect body!
With a swift reach, he instinctively wanted to grasp the universe!
But then he immediately slapped himself in the face.
What time is it? We need to get down to business!
After scooping up a handful of medicinal mud, Qin Yu gently applied it to every inch of the patient's skin.
First, her slender, swan-like neck, then her beautiful back, tracing the perfect curves of her body, the medicinal mud was finally fully applied.
Her already pure white body, now covered in a glistening sheen, resembled a delicious jelly, making one want to take a big bite.
I applied the medicine, but why is there no effect at all?
Just as Qin Yu was wondering, something amazing happened. Shortly after the ointment came into contact with his skin, an extremely violent reaction occurred.
One swipe after another of the purplish-black liquid was rapidly absorbed by the ointment, and the two mingled together, completely changing color.
Liu Caiqing had just specifically instructed that if this situation occurred, it meant that the ointment had completely evaporated and could be cleaned up.
Without further ado, Qin Yu took out the prepared damp towel and carefully cleaned and wiped it.
"call……"
With a long gasp, Zhao Yan opened her eyes, her consciousness returning to normal.
But when she saw Qin Yu working hard beneath her, covered in sweat, she immediately felt a tremor in her heart and blushed deeply.
"emperor……"
Qin Yu had just wiped the large beads of sweat from his face when he heard the sound and immediately turned around.
"Yan'er, you're finally awake!"
Seeing the almost uncontrollable joy on his face, Zhao Yan was deeply moved.
"I felt myself fall asleep and have a very long dream."
"Dreaming?" Qin Yu was slightly taken aback, but seeing that she was alright, he was completely relieved and smiled.
"Do you know what you said in your dream?"
"I do not know."
"You said you were sorry to me, and that it was a pity you couldn't stay with me anymore. You can only repay my kindness by being my ox or horse in your next life..."
Zhao Yan was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head at all, and couldn't help but cry out in annoyance.
"Ugh... Who wants to be your slave?"
Qin Yu was in a good mood after making the beauty smile, and wanted to go forward to be affectionate, but there was still some purple mud on the back of her body that had not been wiped clean.
"Lie down! I'll finish washing you."
"oh!"
Zhao Yan felt flattered that the emperor would personally clean her body, and without thinking much about it, she quickly cooperated.
"Uh! I told you to lie down, not to stand up like a pig!"
Seeing the woman's subconscious physical reaction, Qin Yu almost burst out laughing.
It's become muscle memory; you know to roll over just by being patted.
