Chapter 37: The prince is gambling with his life!
Ye Chutang quickly left Ningchu Courtyard and walked towards a dense bush.
"My Lord, please come out."
Qi Yanzhou came out of the bushes and asked curiously, "How did Miss Ye know that the king was here?"
He's not bragging, his hiding skills are unmatched.
Ye Chutang's gaze fell on the muddy ground under Qi Yanzhou's feet and he curled his lips.
"I felt the aura of the prince. After all, we were once intimate with each other."
The cold-faced prince's expression turned unnatural when he was teased.
He coughed lightly and looked towards Ning Chuyuan who was making the seductive sound.
"Aren't you afraid of Eunuch De's revenge later?"
"If he wants to die, he can seek revenge on me. Whether he will make things difficult for my father is not within my consideration."
Ye Chutang got back to the point, "Your Majesty, time is limited. Please extend your hand to feel my pulse."
Qi Yanzhou stretched out his left hand, pulled up his sleeve, and turned his wrist so that his palm was facing up to make it easier to take his pulse.
Ye Chutang used his left hand as a pulse pillow to support his wrist, and placed his right hand on his pulse.
"Relax your body."
After saying that, she closed her eyes and held her breath.
The long eyelashes cast a shadow under the eyes, the breeze gently caresses the hair, and the fragrance floats in the air.
Qi Yanzhou looked at Ye Chutang with a focused expression, put down his guard and relaxed his body.
He thought he could tell something from her expression, but her expression remained the same.
Ye Chutang examined the patient for nearly half an incense stick of time before withdrawing his hand.
She opened her eyes and looked at Qi Yanzhou with a frown.
"Does the prince know that there is a poisonous insect in his body?"
Qi Yanzhou looked at Ye Chutang in surprise and nodded.
"I was once seriously injured in Southern Xinjiang, which caused a fire poison and put my life in danger. It was a witch doctor in Southern Xinjiang who saved me using a Gu King that he had raised for more than ten years."
But this is only a temporary solution and not a cure for the disease. As the fire poison enters the heart and lungs, the Gu King can no longer suppress it.
"If there is no Gu King, I can remove the fire poison in your body in a month, but now, I have to find the witch doctor who cast the Gu on you and remove both the Gu and the poison."
Gu is poisonous in itself, and the poison of the Gu King is even stronger and more potent.
Many Miao witch doctors have failed to raise a King Gu in their entire lives.
Now, the Gu King and the Fire Poison maintain a delicate balance.
Both poisons must be detoxified together, otherwise King Chen’s life will be in danger.
If it was an ordinary poisonous insect, she could easily remove it.
But it is extremely difficult to cultivate the Gu King, and only by knowing its cultivation process can you solve it.
Qi Yanzhou had guessed this result long ago.
When the witch doctor Ah Man had cast the poison on him, he had said that if he was lucky enough to cure the fire poison, he had to cure the poison together with the witch poison.
"Miss Ye, if you can cure the fire poison, I will send a pigeon to the Miaojiang witch doctor and invite her to Beijing."
Raising Gu is a secret technique that is not passed on to outsiders, and he cannot leave Beijing, so he can only ask Ah Man to come.
Ye Chutang asked, "Miaojiang is far away from the capital, and the witch doctor has no fixed place to live. How long do you think it will take for her to come to the capital?"
Qi Yanzhou understood the meaning of her words.
He replied truthfully: "At the fastest, three months; at the slowest, half a year."
"Lord Chen, to be honest, I can only keep you safe for three months at most. So, the best way is for you to send a pigeon to the witch doctor while we set off for southern Xinjiang."
"Miss Ye, how long do you think it will take for the king to die from the poison?"
"Half a year."
Qi Yanzhou raised his thin lips, "The time is just right."
Ye Chutang looked at the man who disregarded life and death in confusion.
"Your Highness is gambling with his life!"
"The Emperor will not let me leave the capital for Southern Xinjiang."
In other words, he could only wait in the capital and gamble that God would not kill him.
"My Lord, if I knew how the Gu King was trained, I could help you get rid of the poison."
"It's enough for the witch doctor to save me once. I can't ask her for the secret technique of raising Gu."
Ye Chutang nodded in understanding.
"I will do my best to save the prince's life and wait for the witch doctor to come to the capital."
After saying that, she took out a black jadeite card with a four-clawed python pattern from the space and handed it to Qi Yanzhou.
"My Lord, return the property to its original owner."
Qi Yanzhou took the black jade card and put it in his arms.
"Miss Ye, I have to tell you something. This fire poison was given to me by the Emperor."
The implication is that Ye Chutang was going against the emperor by detoxifying him.
"I guessed it. They keep away wise ministers, befriend treacherous officials, and harm loyal officials. The royal family is really promising."
Qi Yanzhou: “…”
The eldest daughter of the Ye family really dares to say anything!
"Be careful, the walls have ears."
Ye Chutang was not stupid. He told the truth only after he was sure that there was no one around.
Just as she was about to make an appointment with Qi Yanzhou for the detoxification time, she heard a large group of people coming towards Ningchuyuan.
"My Lord, send me a message in ten days, and I will come to you and start the detoxification."
"good."
Before Qi Yanzhou left, he said, "If Miss Ye needs help, just come to me."
Ye Chutang really needs King Chen's help with something.
"Your Majesty, can you give me a detailed layout of the palace?"
If Eunuch De dares to covet her, he will have to pay the price of losing everything!
Qi Yanzhou hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
"As soon as possible, I need it urgently."
"Before the homecoming banquet is over, the layout will be delivered to Miss Ye."
"Okay, your Majesty, let's go."
After Qi Yanzhou left, Ye Chutang returned to Ningchuyuan.
She listened to Ye Anling's screams of pain and opened the window of her boudoir to take a look.
"Tsk tsk, it turns out eunuchs are so perverted."
After saying that, she took out a brick and hit herself on the back of the head.
The hit was not severe, but there was a bump and some broken skin.
Ye Chutang lay under the window with a clear conscience, pretending to be unconscious.
He looked like he was caught peeking and knocked unconscious.
After a while, Kong Ru's anxious voice came over.
"Princess, you must have seen it wrong. Although Chu'er is not polite, she would never do anything to seduce Eunuch De!"
Princess Anping snorted coldly, "Madam Ye, do you mean that I am blind?"
"Please calm down, my lady. I just think that reputation is more important than anything else for a woman, so I should be more careful with my words."
"Whether this princess is wrong or not, you will know immediately!"
As they were talking, everyone was already approaching Ningchu Courtyard.
Ye Anling's miserable cries also reached everyone's ears.
Because her voice was hoarse, no one could tell it was her.
Princess Anping's face showed an irrepressible excitement.
"I said I was right. Miss Ye is really lonely in her boudoir!"
The wives of officials blushed when they heard this.
"This...this...in broad daylight...this is too shameless!"
Kong Ru quickly said, "It's definitely not Chu'er!"
She looked flustered, and it was obvious that she was trying to hide something.
Ye Jingchuan echoed.
"Although Chu'er is not very decent, he would never be so shameless."
After saying that, he roared, "I want to see who committed obscene acts in Chu'er's yard and framed her for it!"
The group quickly entered Ningchu Courtyard.
Ye Jingchuan and Kong Ru went straight to the boudoir without looking around.
Princess Anping followed closely behind.
Several wives of officials who had followed also went into the boudoir to watch the fun.
Clothes were scattered all over the floor.
The pale golden bed curtains fluttered.
A cry that sounded like pain and pleasure came from the bed.
Kong Ru rushed to the bed and pulled open the bed curtain.
At the same time, a scream sounded in the yard.
"Ah! Why is Miss Ye lying on the ground with blood on her head? Is she dead?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Kong Ru had a bad feeling and immediately looked towards the bed.
When she saw Ye Anling being pinned down and ravaged by Eunuch De, her eyes went dark and she passed out.
