Chapter 337: Medicine
That night, Yu Qinghuan's yard requested hot water three or four times. Sang Ru did not sleep all night and stayed there until dawn.
The secret guards around the yard also did not sleep all night, and each one of them was tortured. It was not like they had not kept watch all night before, but last night, they had something more uncomfortable than sleepiness.
It's really unbearable.
Even though Yu Qinghuan was tired, he insisted on getting the method to cure the poison in Cheng Gongjin's body from Xiao Jinghe before going to sleep.
Now she was surprised to learn that the medicine that drew out the Gu worm in Cheng Gongjin's body was actually blood. "Whose blood?"
Xiao Jinghe didn't hide it from her, "Mine."
In order to ensure that Cheng Gongjin can be controlled, this poisonous insect was most likely nourished by the previous emperor with the blood of royal children. Therefore, in order to draw the poisonous insect out of Cheng Gongjin's body, in addition to some medicinal herbs, the most important thing is the blood of the Xiao family.
The late emperor and Prince Rui are already dead. Now he is the only emperor of pure blood in the capital who can save Cheng Gongjin.
Yu Qinghuan was stunned. It was actually Xiao Jinghe's blood... This insect was too weird.
Xiao Jinghe looked at Yu Qinghuan deeply. "Huanhuan, the medicine requires quite a bit of blood. Are you willing to hurt me?"
What he didn't know was that Yu Qinghuan was already thinking about where to take blood from him most conveniently and without being discovered.
Hearing Xiao Jinghe's words, she hugged Xiao Jinghe and acted coquettishly for a while, "Of course I can't bear to let you go...but this is a matter of life and death, I can only let you go for now, and I will compensate you later, okay?"
Xiao Jinghe: "...Okay."
He didn't even blink as he watched Yu Qinghuan take out a dagger from the house and cut a shallow wound on his arm to let the blood flow.
But when Yu Qinghuan was bandaging his arm, Xiao Jinghe's eyes darkened after seeing the pattern of the dagger on the table. "Your dagger looks familiar."
Yu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that this dagger was the prize that Xie Zhili got when he won the first prize in the spring hunt in Jiuchong Mountain.
She chuckled and said, "Maybe all daggers look the same."
However, at this time, Xiao Jinghe had already recognized that this was the prize that the late emperor had given to Xie Zhili during the spring hunt.
Haha, Yu Qinghuan took the dagger given to her by Xie Zhili to cut his flesh, take his blood, and save Cheng Gongjin.
She really has a big heart that can accommodate so many people.
Yu Qinghuan didn't dare to look at Xiao Jinghe. He screwed the bottle of blood shut and gave it to Sang Ru, asking her to get some ice to cool it down and then send it to Doctor Li at Cheng Mansion tomorrow along with a list of other herbs that would be needed.
When she came back, Xiao Jinghe in the room had a resentful look in his eyes. She hugged and embraced him, and finally made him happy. Thinking that she had finally done something, most of the burden in her heart was lifted, and she immediately fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Jinghe didn't sleep. After seeing Yu Qinghuan fall asleep, he leaned over and placed a kiss on her forehead, sighing imperceptibly, "You didn't even ask me if it hurt after cutting your hand. You really have no conscience."
Taking that little bit of blood was of no consequence to him. What he cared about was always Yu Qinghuan's attitude.
Before dawn, Xiao Jinghe quietly left the Yu Mansion with his men. When he returned to the palace, he didn't even have time to rest. He changed into court clothes and went to the Golden Palace.
Because he had not slept all night and had taken a lot of blood, Xiao Jinghe's complexion was not as good as usual. While listening to the reports from his ministers, he yawned a few times. He was really sleepy.
When the ministers in the court saw that he was so sleepy but still insisted on holding an early court session, they all sighed in their hearts: Although His Majesty has an unpredictable temper, he is a good emperor who works hard and loves his people. Since he ascended the throne, he has implemented various new policies that benefit the people and never has a backlog of memorials. It is said that he often reviews memorials until late at night.
I guess I didn't sleep again last night.
It's a good thing to be diligent in work, but you also need to rest, otherwise it will be bad if your body collapses.
As soon as Xiao Jinghe yawned again and rubbed his eyebrows with his fingertips, someone took the initiative to persuade him to pay attention to the dragon body.
In the Golden Palace, Xie Zhili and Mu Huaian, two of the officials, knew that Xiao Jinghe had been tired after a sleepless night, but the object of his fatigue was not the memorials.
It is impossible that he just attended the Hundred Days Banquet yesterday, was crowned a princess and then returned to the palace. He must have stayed at the Yu Mansion last night, maybe even at Yu Qinghuan's courtyard.
Thinking of this, both of them felt heavy in their hearts and felt uncomfortable.
None of them had ever stayed overnight at the Yu Mansion, but Xiao Jinghe did.
At the same time, Doctor Li got the prescription and medicine that Yu Qinghuan ordered Sang Ru to deliver personally.
Doctor Li was surprised when he unscrewed the bottle and smelled blood. He looked around and saw that no one was around. He lowered his voice and asked, "Did this really come from that person?"
Sang Ru nodded, "My daughter got it last night, it can't be fake."
Doctor Li immediately admired Yu Qinghuan in his heart. Not only did he get the method to cure the poison from the emperor, he also took his blood. This was something that no one else could have done.
Seeing Doctor Li happily running to prepare the medicine, Sang Ru felt a little uncomfortable.
Before last night, she had no idea that the girl asked Xiao Jinghe to leave the palace and left the people behind in order to save Lord Cheng. This was too difficult a task, and the girl must have made an exchange.
Old man Cheng Ge is a very nice person, but she is Yu Qinghuan's maid, so she naturally follows the girl in everything. She knows that in order to get the blood drawn, the girl must have agreed to many things that went against her will with Xiao Jinghe.
She just wanted to see the girl happy and didn't want to see her do anything that forced herself.
Maybe I was thinking too much, maybe Xiao Jinghe didn't make things difficult for the girl, or maybe, in the girl's heart, saving Elder Cheng was very important.
Anyway, as long as the girl is happy.
...
When Cheng Gongjin heard from Doctor Li that there was a way to cure the poison, he was visibly startled, and his hand holding the pen trembled slightly. "Really?"
Doctor Li nodded repeatedly, "Of course, wait until I prepare the medicine. Tomorrow... no! Tonight I can detoxify you and draw out the poisonous insect!"
God knows how many years we have waited for this day, but we can finally detoxify Cheng Gongjin and save his life.
Cheng Gongjin felt an indescribable emotion in his heart, probably surprise, but after a moment, his eyes darkened.
His knuckles suddenly tightened, his voice hoarse, "How did you find the method?"
Doctor Li immediately followed the instructions he had discussed with Yu Qinghuan and said, "I saw this method in an essay yesterday and I think it's worth a try."
Cheng Gongjin's eyes were as sharp as a knife. He had already seen through everything from Doctor Li's reaction, and there were dark emotions in his eyes.
Xiao Jinghe had just gone to the Yu residence yesterday, and today Doctor Li said he had found a way to detoxify...
"You told her."
Doctor Li was stunned. "Who?"
Cheng Gongjin: "Yu Qinghuan."
Doctor Li fell silent. He didn't expect that he still couldn't hide it. "Yes, I told you a few months ago."
Cheng Gongjin immediately clenched the pen in his hand, thinking that Yu Qinghuan must have agreed to something, so Xiao Jinghe gave him the prescription.
He looked pale...
