"Don't worry, I will do my best to treat him." Chen Qingqing said seriously. She would not take any patient's life lightly; this is the professional integrity that a qualified doctor should have.
"That's good, that's good." Hearing Chen Qingqing's words, Chu Jiuqing felt inexplicably at ease, believing that she would definitely be able to save Zhu Yue.
After Chu Jiuqing left, Chen Qingqing used her mind to enter the space and began drawing blood for testing. The results came out quickly.
The poison from the Western Regions is different from the poison Xiaoyu was poisoned with last time, but it should be from the same person.
This poison is based on the "Three-Day Soul Returning Powder" with the addition of several catalysts that can cause rapid poisoning. The poisoned person will die within three days.
If anyone else had treated her, Zhu Yue would have been doomed.
Chen Qingqing quickly prepared the antidote and gave Zhu Yue an injection with a syringe.
Chu Jiuqing arrived at Chen Qingqing's room and saw corpses lying haphazardly inside. He walked towards one of the bodies.
He crouched down to examine the deceased closely. A thin silver needle was embedded in the deceased's forehead. The deceased's mouth was black, and his eyes were bleeding. He had clearly died from poisoning.
The heart of the other corpse had been pierced by a sharp arrow. He recognized the arrow; it was Chen Qingqing's hidden weapon.
She took down more than ten assassins so easily; I never expected this girl to have such skillful abilities.
Chu Jiuqing's lips curled up slightly; it seemed he had struck gold.
"Zhuifeng, collect these arrows, wash them clean, and give them to Miss Chen."
Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, Zhui Feng was shocked. He had always thought Chen Qingqing was just a lowly doctor.
So many assassins were killed by her alone; only then did Shi realize he had misjudged her, and a chill ran down his spine.
I must never offend Chen Qingqing again, or the consequences will be severe.
He bent down and collected the arrowheads from the crossbow bolts fired by Chen Qingqing, along with the silver needles from the deceased's forehead, intending to clean them and return them to Chen Qingqing in hopes of gaining her favor.
After Chen Qingqing treated Zhu Yue's poison wounds and waited for his complexion to gradually recover, she pushed open the door and came out. "Xiao Yu, Zhu Yue is alright now. You can come in and see him."
"Great, that's wonderful. Thank you for your hard work." Chu Jiuqing's heart was finally at ease.
Chen Qingqing knew that Zhu Yue was highly skilled in martial arts, so in theory she shouldn't have been affected by the poison. How did she get poisoned? It was somewhat puzzling.
She felt it necessary to remind Chu Jiuqing, so she spoke up.
"The poison you've been given in the month is exactly the same as the one you were given last time. It's the 'Three-Day Soul Returning Powder' from the Western Regions. However, this time the poison is a stronger version. It takes effect faster and the poisoning is more severe. If you don't receive timely treatment, you will die from the poisoning within three days."
Chu Jiuqing frowned. Last time, the Crown Prince put poison in the wine, and he was poisoned because he was not on guard. How exactly did Zhu Yue get poisoned?
His face was grave. "It's this kind of poison again. How did she manage to poison Zhu Yue? It seems we need to be more vigilant in the future. If we are not careful, our lives will be in danger."
"This poison is colorless and odorless. It can be dissolved in alcohol and water, and can also be applied to weapons and hidden weapons, making it impossible to defend against. I just wonder who researched this poison?" Chen Qingqing asked with some curiosity.
Thinking of Zi You, a ruthless glint flashed in Chu Jiuqing's eyes, and he said in a serious tone, "I just fought with that masked man. If I'm not mistaken, this person should be an assassin under the command of the so-called Poison King of the Western Regions, 'Zi You'."
Upon hearing that he was the Poison King of the Western Regions, Chen Qingqing became intrigued. "Zi You? Who is he?"
"This person is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also incredibly adept at using poison. One can easily fall victim to his poison if you're not careful. Last time, I was careless and fell off a cliff after being poisoned by his Three-Day Soul-Returning Powder. If I hadn't met you, I would probably be a pile of bones by now. Now that we've failed this time, she will definitely not let it go and will try to ambush us on the way. But don't worry, I won't let her hurt you."
Hearing this, Chen Qingqing smiled nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Xiaoyu, I'm not afraid!"
Just as the two were talking, Zhu Yue slowly woke up. When she saw Chu Jiuqing and Chen Qingqing sitting in front of the bed, she sat up abruptly. "How did I get here? What happened to me just now?"
Chu Jiuqing was overjoyed. "Zhu Yue, you're awake. You were poisoned by Zi You's poison, but Miss Chen has already cured you. You're fine now."
Zhu Yue hurriedly got to the ground, saying, "Thank you, Miss Chen, for saving my life." She then knelt down and kowtowed.
Chen Qingqing quickly stopped her, "Zhu Yue, don't be so polite, it's nothing, not worth mentioning."
Seeing that Zhu Yue seemed completely unaffected, Chu Jiuqing was puzzled. "Qing girl, how did Zhu Yue recover so quickly? I remember you told me last time that I was bedridden for more than half a month."
Chen Qingqing explained with a smile, "It's not surprising that there's nothing wrong with it. The poison in Zhu Yue hasn't spread at all. If it had been delayed by another hour, even if she had taken the antidote, she would have had to lie in bed for three to five days."
"I see." After Chu Jiuqing finished speaking, he instructed Zhu Yue, "Have someone tidy up this place, go back to your room and get some rest. I'll go check on Zhui Feng and the others."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the room.
"Little Fish, wait a minute, I'm going with you too." Chen Qingqing got up and followed.
As soon as the two arrived downstairs, they saw Zhui Feng pulling the shopkeeper and a man who looked like a waiter out of the clutter in a corner.
"Damn you, how dare you return my prince? You're all tired of living."
The shopkeeper was trembling with fear, his pants were half-soaked, and he knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, "Hero, spare my life! Please don't kill me! I had no choice!"
"Yes, my lords, spare my life! Please don't kill me!" the waiter pleaded in a trembling voice.
Chu Jiuqing approached and gave a disdainful snort, "If you don't want to die, then answer whatever I ask. If you hide even a single word, I'll take your dog lives!"
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, "Alright, alright, as long as you don't kill us, we'll tell you everything."
"Where are these people staying? How many of them are there? Who sent you to assassinate me?" Chu Jiuqing's eyes were bloodthirsty, making the shopkeeper tremble with fear.
"Your Highness," the innkeeper was dumbfounded, "Your Highness, spare us! I'm just an innkeeper, I don't know any of these people, I don't know where they are, or why they want to kill you."
The waiter quickly added, "Yes, Your Highness, we've never even seen these people before. Three days ago, they took over our inn, saying they wanted us to do a big business deal with them, and that they would give us a generous revenge after it was done."
We didn't think they looked like good people, so we tried to refuse them, but they kicked and beat us, and even threw the shopkeeper's whole family into the cellar, threatening to kill them if we didn't help.
Threatened with a knife to our throats, we had no choice but to put a 'half-moment sleep' in your wine. We beg you heroes to spare our lives! This has nothing to do with us; they forced us to do it. Please, please don't kill us!"
