Chapter 309 The Insect Poison Has Been Cured

Imperial Physician Yan and Dean Hu were arguing anxiously: "No, once the fever-reducing medicine is taken, the insects will lose control. If they reach the emperor's intestines, the emperor will be tortured to death."

"But if the fever is not reduced, the insects will sense the host's rising body temperature and will break out of the flesh. The wound will never heal and it will be a dead end!"

"It just so happened that the arm was injured last night. The insects attached themselves to the emperor's left arm and sucked the nutrients from the arm for a living, making the bones of the emperor's arm extremely fragile. The medicine used will also make the insects excited."

"This won't work, that won't work, this..."

"First, remove the poison from the snake."

Jiang Xinyue waved her hand, and Tang Shiliang came forward with a small box. When Doctor Yan and Hu Yuanzheng saw it, their eyes lit up: "Master Jiang, Eunuch Tang, are you sure?"

There are thousands of kinds of snake poison in Miaojiang. Because the snake girls are not connected to the outside world, their temperaments are mostly strange, so they are afraid that they will cheat.

Jiang Yankun looked at Tang Shiliang, whose face was blushing, with a strange look in his eyes: "Don't worry! This antidote was obtained by Eunuch Tang at the cost of his body. The Miao girl loves her so much that she can't help herself. It can't be fake."

Tang Shiliang's face turned even redder.

Hu Yuanzheng and Doctor Yan looked at each other, and when they secretly looked at Tang Shiliang, there was a little inquiry in their eyes.

However, the health of the emperor was the most important thing at the moment, so they suppressed their desire to find out, took out the black bottle from the box, and gave it to the emperor.

Jiang Xinyue stood beside the bed, frowning at the stench of the potion. The emperor, who was unconscious from the fever, suddenly opened his eyes, then lay down beside the bed, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.

A red insect the size of a fingernail crawled out of the black blood, crawling out as if to escape, but after crawling a few steps, its body exploded, splashing Jiang Yankun with black pulp.

"Eunuch Wang, bring some water for the emperor to rinse his mouth."

In his drowsiness, the emperor heard Jiang Xinyue's voice and became more sober: "Didn't I tell you not to come? Why did you come anyway?"

Jiang Xinyue was jealous and pulled off the handkerchief tied on his arm and threw it on the ground: "My father and Eunuch Tang have returned from Miaojiang. Naturally, I have to stay with the emperor and make sure of your safety as soon as possible."

"Cough cough cough cough..."

Emperor Xuanwu felt that all the bones in his body were sore. It was obviously summer, but his body couldn't help shaking.

"Your Majesty, water..."

Jiang Xinyue quickly brought it to the emperor's mouth. Wang Dequan caught the emperor's mouthwash with an empty cup, wiped the emperor's mouth with the handkerchief, and then Jiang Xinyue wrapped him in a quilt.

The medicine for reducing fever has been prepared, but the two doctors had argued fiercely just now, so the female doctor did not dare to offer it.

Now that the poison of the snake has been resolved, there is no need to worry about his life. Hu Yuanzheng quickly brought the medicine to the emperor.

After the emperor fell asleep, Jiang Xinyue brought Jiang Yankun out of Jiuzhou Qingyan. The Qu family was still kneeling outside, but it seemed that they were struggling. It was estimated that they would be carried back at night.

The emperor's illness came at a good time, leaving the Qu family helpless.

What's the use of kneeling and begging?

The emperor himself was too sick to get out of bed.

In the bedroom of Emperor Jiuzhou Qingyan, a bright yellow figure stood in front of the window, and Wang Dequan and Tang Shiliang stood behind him on the left and right: "Your Majesty, the old lady of the Qu family has not come out yet, let's..."

"No hurry."

Emperor Xuanwu said calmly: "Arrange a few servants to gossip in front of Zhen, saying that they often see Qu Peng flying in and out of the pavilions and alleys, and he seems to... have a family outside his home."

Wang Dequan replied "yes" and retreated. This move will definitely force the old lady Qu to come out.

For lunch that day, Jiang Xinyue asked Xiao Xiangzi to invite Ruan and her two younger brothers and sisters to Changchun Xianguan for dinner.

After ordering someone to pour a cup of warm tea for his cheap father and drink it, Jiang Yankun said: "Sister Yue, can you find a way to get some hair of Pei Sinian and Pei Zhishuo for Dad? Otherwise, Eunuch Tang and I will be entangled to death by that Miao girl."

It turned out that the concubine Zhang who bewitched the emperor was not surnamed Zhang, but Miao Linlin's sister. She fell in love with a man outside the Miao village in her early years, so she eloped with that man.

That man was the owner of the opera troupe mentioned by Concubine Zhang.

When Jiang Yankun and Tang Shiliang first arrived in the Miao village, the people in the village rejected them very much. However, the Miao village Wu Gu tribe was not only not accepted by the local villagers, but even the people of the Miao village disliked the Wu Gu tribe and did not communicate with them.

Therefore, their life was also very difficult.

Jiang Yankun had nothing much, but a lot of money. If a family was in trouble because of silver, he would use silver to smash them, and the whole village accepted them.

Especially Miao Linlin's family. It is said that her father disappeared in search of his daughter. He has not returned home for three or four years. There is no news about him, and no one knows whether he died outside.

Her mother was the most powerful witch in the village when she was young, but because she raised the witches with blood for many years, her body deteriorated very quickly.

However, at the age of more than 40, she already looks like an old woman and is plagued by diseases.

The witch can harm and control people, but it cannot save people.

Miao Linlin couldn't even take out the money to buy medicine. When the people at the foot of the mountain saw that she was wearing Miao clothes, they all stayed away from her.

This is also the reason why she did not refuse the first time Tang Shiliang gave her money and asked her to lead the way.

She was short of money and wanted to buy medicine for her mother and hire a doctor.

Later, as they got to know each other better, Miao Linlin had never met a man outside the village, and Tang Shiliang, who was knowledgeable, gentle and talented, made her fall in love.

Tang Shiliang was afraid that he would not be able to get the antidote if he refused, so he had to use his beauty to coax her into handing over the antidote for rickets.

When they ran away at night, Tang Shiliang felt guilty for deceiving the girl's feelings, and left all the money he had with her.

But Miao Linlin rode a horse to chase him the next day, insisting on going with Tang Shiliang. If there were no guards waiting at the foot of the mountain, it would not be so easy for them to escape.

"But when my father went out, he always reported the names of Pei Sinian and Pei Zhishuo. That Miao girl wanted to trick us, and the unlucky ones are the Pei father and son."

Ruan thought for a while and asked hesitantly: "What kind of personality does that girl have? If she is a good person, you should explain it to her clearly, so as not to ruin her life. Sister Yue, what do you think?"

Jiang Xinyue nodded: "Mother is right, explain it to her nicely, she will understand."

It's not that Tang Shiliang is not a good person, but after all, no girl in her right mind would be willing to marry a eunuch.

"What's good about it?"

Jiang Yankun was still a little angry when he talked about this: "We haven't even got married yet! She wants to force Eunuch Tang to sleep with her... with her, saying that she wants to absorb yang and replenish yin, and nourish the silkworms in her body. She knows we are rich, so she asks us for money every day. She buys all kinds of expensive medicinal herbs for raising silkworms. She treats us as her private bank. Whenever we refuse, she gives us a bad look. The day before we ran away, she overheard her trying to trap Tang Shiliang and me, and that we should obey her. How can she be a good person?"

If this is the case, she cannot be allowed to meet Eunuch Tang.
