Chapter 150 Chen Ting has not returned to Beijing yet?
Zhang Dai and Shen Wangshu stayed in the palace.
They were arranged to live in a side hall of the emperor's bedroom. Since they were there to receive medical treatment, no one cared about the differences between men and women. Zhang Dai lived in the side hall, while Shen Wangshu could only sleep in the ear room.
——Ever since she entered the book, she had never slept in the ear room even when she was doing the worst!
But just sleep on it, it’s just like the hard bed in the school dormitory, it doesn’t matter.
The two of them also received badges that allowed them to enter the Imperial Medical Bureau at will. They could get any medicinal herbs or tools they needed from there.
Before Shen Wangshu went out, he only brought his own set of silver needles and a little bit of dragon horn powder. He couldn't take them out until they were really needed. This thing was used to help the emperor regain his vitality. At other times, conventional treatments and detoxification would be enough.
Emperor Zhou Xian's symptoms are indeed typical of heavy metal poisoning. It is obvious that he has taken too many elixirs and indulged in sensual pleasures that have harmed his health. He is already an old man but still likes to make trouble. If he doesn't lie down, who will?
After waking the emperor up that day, he fell asleep again at night. Shen Wangshu was worried that his body could not withstand the medicinal effects of the dragon horn powder, so he had to do his best to help him regulate and detoxify every day. The emperor woke up more and more often, and his vision became a little clearer.
Of course, none of this was told to the outside world. Even when other people from the Imperial Hospital came, Zhang Dai would give the emperor a dose of sleeping pills so that he could sleep soundly as usual.
Once they become a little aware, they are subjected to clichés and brainwashing.
The former was more difficult. They mainly wanted to find out how the emperor fell ill, whether he knew that the elixir had been tampered with, and most importantly - whether there was any evidence that the prince and the queen had deliberately poisoned him.
It was difficult to interrogate him because the emperor was confused most of the time and had no idea what the world was. It would be easier to brainwash him.
As long as they kept saying that they were sent by Prince Ning to rescue him, the old emperor's eyes would spontaneously light up when he looked at them, and he was filled with a desire to survive.
There was still half a month before the palace banquet. During this period, the brother and sister treated the emperor while hiding the truth from the emperor and trying to find out more information.
Lin Jinglan would sometimes bring in news from outside, take news from inside out, or help cover up something, and the days passed quickly like this.
One day, when Shen Wangshu had finished acupuncture for the emperor on the dragon bed and twisted his aching neck, he suddenly remembered: "Today is the day we entered the palace?"
Zhang Dai at the side thought for a moment and said, "It's been almost a week, right?"
One week...
Earlier at Prince Ning's Mansion, Shen Xihe seemed to have said that Chen Ting would be able to lead his troops back to the capital within a week at the latest?
Chen Wangshu said, "When Lin Jinglan came today, did she tell him about the general's return to the capital?" Calculating the date, it was almost the same, but she hadn't heard any news about Chen Ting. Could it be that she was so busy these days that she missed it?
Zhang Dai said, "No."
It has been so long, and Chen Ting has not returned to Beijing yet.
Then things get a little weird.
Did he run into some trouble on his way back? The end-of-year palace banquet is approaching. If he hasn't returned yet... Prince Ning will lose a very great helper.
Although they have the aura of the protagonists and should be able to succeed, she is now really worried about Chen Ting's situation.
Shen Wangshu rubbed his brows.
Unfortunately, we can’t receive any letters from outside, and Longjiao has lost its function of communication and transmission...
Zhang Dai noticed her worried look and said, "Are you worried that there won't be enough military force on the last night and Prince Ning won't be able to force the Crown Prince to retreat?"
Only when you have someone on hand can you rescue the emperor with confidence. If Chen Ting cannot make it in time, what can King Ning use to compete with the prince who already has 5,000 guards in the imperial city?
Shen Wangshu shook his head: “This is only part of the reason. I am a little worried that Chen Ting might have had other accidents on the way.”
After all, they don't know how many cards each force has.
"Even if the general is not here, Prince Ning will definitely have a backup plan. The important thing is how you can escape from here on the day of the palace banquet and attend the banquet as the general's wife." Zhang Dai reminded her.
Shen Wangshu: "I actually forgot about this... There should be a way to get out, but can you handle it alone? By then, it will not be safer to be around the emperor than outside."
"It's just a small scene." Her senior brother said lightly.
“…That’ll do.” You’re awesome.
The two of them brought this matter to Lin Jinglan, and that afternoon he brought a woman whose stature and temperament were very similar to Shen Wangshu, and said: "This is your substitute on the last day."
The emperor couldn't do without her these days, and dragon horn powder was tentatively added to the emperor's medicine little by little. When the treatment was almost complete, Shen Wangshu retired.
The woman stayed and helped the two men for a while.
The closer it got to the palace banquet, the busier everyone became. The emperor, the main character visited by everyone, became the ignored one. The empress and the prince hadn't visited him for several days, as if they had completely forgotten about him.
Shen Wangshu looked at the old emperor on the dragon bed, who looked much better after being fed with dragon horn powder for a few days, and was a little confused: "Should we put some makeup on him to cover it up?"
When people come over and take a look, they will see that he is not dying, he can obviously get out of bed soon!
It's a bit too obvious.
Zhang Dai nodded, and the two of them thought about putting on a dead person's makeup for the emperor, making him look even more miserable than before. Lin Jinglan, who came to check on the emperor today, was stunned: "Is this... not working again?"
Shen Wangshu laughed: "The medicine is so effective, I'm afraid it will be bad if he can get out of bed in two days - by the way, you can try your Gu worm that can control people."
Now that the body has been recovered, the little poisonous insect should be able to survive in the host's body.
Although they are almost brainwashed now, it would be best if they could directly control the emperor's actions.
Lin Jinglan became interested and took out a white jade cup from his sleeve. He opened the lid and saw a fat white worm inside.
Shen Wangshu got goose bumps all over his body and stood ten meters away from this scary man.
The process of testing the Gu went smoothly at first. Lin Jinglan proudly introduced it to them: "This is the Heart-Eating Gu that I learned from the Miao people in southern Xinjiang a few years ago. I have carefully nurtured it for many years. I named it Tianci... Ah! My Tianci!! "
Before he could finish his words, the poisonous insect that had already drilled into the emperor's body suddenly came out of his nostrils again, then struggled twice and fell into Lin Jinglan's hand and stopped moving.
"......"
"My God...! Why is this happening?" Lin Jinglan was filled with grief and almost cried out, but Zhang Dai covered her mouth in time: "Don't scream."
Shen Wangshu scratched his head and said cautiously: “Maybe, it may be because of the dragon horn powder…”
