Chapter 142: Relieving Qi Yanzhou's Fire Poison
Qi Yanzhou suddenly remembered the prison in Dali Temple where Ye Chutang had vomited out of discomfort.
At that time he thought she was stimulated by the prison environment and smell.
Now thinking about it, that’s not the case at all.
How could a person who dares to cut open someone's stomach not smell the blood?
She's pregnant with his child?
When Qi Yanzhou was thinking this, Ye Chutang looked at Aunt Jiang and chuckled.
"Do you know that if a servant slanders his master, he will be beaten to death?"
Aunt Jiang was frightened by the murderous intent in Ye Chutang's eyes.
"Miss, I have no ill intentions, it's just..."
Ye Chutang was not interested in listening to her nonsense.
"Dan'er, drag her out and slap her fifty times. Don't dirty your hands. Use the soles of your shoes to beat her. If she dies, it's my fault. When you get tired of beating her, let Le'er do it."
"Yes, Miss."
Shan'er dragged the screaming Aunt Jiang out of Ningchu Courtyard, took off her shoes, and slapped her hard in the face.
Ye Chutang ignored Aunt Jiang's shrill screams and looked at Qi Yanzhou.
"My Lord, please follow me to the boudoir."
When Qi Yanzhou heard the word "boudoir", the tips of his ears turned slightly red.
Ye Chutang didn't notice Qi Yanzhou's abnormality and entered the boudoir through the main house.
"Your Majesty, please wait outside."
She had to get out the things needed to detoxify the fire first.
Qi Yanzhou waited for a while, and then he heard Ye Chutang calling him, "Prince, come in."
Ye Chutang sat on the chaise longue.
There were a lot of things placed on the low table above the couch.
She took Qi Yanzhou's pulse first, and her calm expression became somewhat solemn.
"Your Majesty, your fire poison has worsened again, leaving even less time for the witch doctors in Southern Xinjiang."
What this means is that Qi Yanzhou's chances of survival are even lower.
Qi Yanzhou is not a person who is afraid of death.
"Life and death are determined by fate, just do your best."
Ye Chutang felt uncomfortable after hearing this, "I will try my best to save you and heal your internal injuries first."
She used silver needles dipped in medicine to give Qi Yanzhou acupuncture.
Qi Yanzhou looked at Ye Chutang's focused little face and asked the doubts in his heart.
"Miss Ye, you are pregnant, right?"
He knew it was abrupt, but he wanted to know the answer so badly.
Ye Chutang was very glad that he had finished the acupuncture before hearing this, otherwise he would have definitely inserted the needle incorrectly.
She knew very well that if Qi Yanzhou knew the child was his, he would definitely not leave it alone.
But she would not marry a man who had other women in his heart.
Whether it's a sexless marriage or a rotten cucumber, it's not what she wants!
"My Lord, isn't it inappropriate for you to say this to an unmarried woman?"
Qi Yanzhou also knew that it was inappropriate and apologized immediately.
"Miss Ye, I am being rude."
Ye Chutang fiddled with the silver needles on Qi Yanzhou's body and asked, "What kind of answer does the prince want?"
Qi Yanzhou certainly hopes that Ye Chutang is pregnant.
But he couldn't say that.
Because getting pregnant before marriage will cause great harm to any woman.
"No matter what the answer is, this king respects Miss Ye's decision."
Ye Chutang changed the subject and asked, "Have you thought of a way to break the impasse, Your Majesty?"
Now, the emperor was wary of Qi Yanzhou and only dared to trip him up secretly.
If he is gone, the Qi family will be in dire straits!
In her opinion, if Qi Yanzhou did not overthrow the imperial power, the Qi family would have no way to survive.
Qi Yanzhou thought of a solution, "Exile."
First, stay away from the imperial city, then plot secretly to overthrow the imperial power.
But exile requires a very good opportunity, and he has not yet thought of a foolproof method.
One point less is not enough, one point more will result in the extermination of the entire clan.
Ye Chutang felt that exile was a good option when a head-on confrontation was not an option.
But if this happens, not only will the Qi family's reputation be ruined, but they will also lose the wealth they have accumulated over the years.
"My Lord, is there no better way?"
Qi Yanzhou shook his head slightly.
"The emperor wants to wipe out the Qi family. The only way to avoid his repeated plots is to stay away from the capital."
Now is not the time for confrontation, we can only be patient for now.
“Miss Ye, if it were you who had the Qi family exiled, you could negotiate with the emperor and avoid entering the palace as a concubine.”
Looking at Qi Yanzhou who always cared about her, Ye Chutang found it hard not to misunderstand that he was interested in her.
She suppressed her unrealistic thoughts and pulled out the silver needle from his body.
"Next, I will help the prince to remove the fire poison. The process will be very painful. Does the prince need to use Ma Fei San?"
Qi Yanzhou knew that although Ma Fei San could temporarily numb the pain, it was not conducive to recovery.
"No, I can bear it."
"If you can't help it, tell me."
After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he opened the small wooden box containing the ice leeches.
Because ice leeches absorb heat, a thick layer of frost covered the wooden box.
She handed Qi Yanzhou a pill and said, "Your Majesty, please use it."
Qi Yanzhou had learned the specific process of detoxification a long time ago, and knew that the fire poison had to be induced before detoxification.
He took the medicine.
An unbearable dryness emerged in the body, and the blood seemed to be boiling violently.
The hair gradually changed from black to bright red.
The sight was also blood red.
Qi Yanzhou felt that his skin would crack and explode and die in the next moment.
When his patience reached its limit, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain on the back of his hand.
Then, a cool feeling spread from the back of the hand, dispelling the blazing heat.
But a biting cold followed, and the blood seemed to be frozen.
My body was so hot and so cold that I felt like I was living a life worse than death.
Seeing that Qi Yanzhou was about to faint, Ye Chutang remained silent and gave him a thumbs up.
"My Lord, please bear with it for a while, it will be fine soon."
When Qi Yanzhou's body became half hot and half cold.
Ye Chutang placed the cicada on the back of his hand.
The cicada absorbed the cold air, and the frost on its hands disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to normal.
After a cup of tea.
The fire poison in Qi Yanzhou's body was suppressed, and Ye Chutang put away the ice leeches and cicadas.
"My Lord, how do you feel now?"
"I don't feel any discomfort, and my internal injuries seem to have recovered a lot."
Ye Chutang wrote a prescription and handed it to Qi Yanzhou.
"The fire poison has been suppressed. It can keep the prince safe for about three months. The prince's plan of exile should not have to wait until three months later, right?"
The half-month deadline given by the Dog Emperor is about to expire. Even if it can be delayed, it won’t be delayed for a few days.
If the Qi family was exiled, would she, a pregnant woman, have to travel a long distance to detoxify?
It's not impossible. Exile means walking, and it will probably take three months to walk...
Uh, half of Beichen Kingdom!
Qi Yanzhou saw Ye Chutang's concerns and said, "Miss Ye, if you trust me, you can lend me the ice leech and the cold cicada to help me detoxify. When we return to the capital, I will definitely return them intact."
Xize's medical skills are comparable to those of Doctor Xue. As long as he has something to detoxify and knows how to do it, Ye Chutang wouldn't have to travel thousands of miles.
Thinking of this, he added another sentence.
"Prince Chen's mansion will be confiscated before exile. Miss Ye can take as much gold, silver and jewelry as she wants. If she can't take all, Miss Ye can tell the 'ghost thief' to take it."
It’s better to give it to anyone than to the emperor!
Qi Yanzhou's idea is good, but it cannot be realized.
Because only Ye Chutang has the conditions to feed ice leeches and cicadas.
