Led by a eunuch, Chen Qingqing arrived at the emperor's bedchamber.
She dismissed the eunuch, and with a thought, entered the space to begin examining the Chu Emperor's body.
With liver damage and a slow heartbeat, death is inevitable without timely treatment.
The medical space was activated, blood was drawn, and tests were conducted. It was quickly determined that the Chu Emperor's coma was caused by poisoning.
They quickly prepared the antidote and fed it to the Chu Emperor.
Then, with a calm expression, he took out silver needles from the medicine box and skillfully performed acupuncture on the patient.
As the silver needle pierced through, a stream of black liquid flowed from the corner of the Chu Emperor's mouth.
Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all the poison was forced out.
Chen Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and gave the Chu Emperor another thorough examination.
If there are no other problems, you can go out and tell Xiaoyu that Emperor Chu is completely out of danger.
Just as she was overjoyed, the Chu Emperor's condition took a sharp turn for the worse; his limbs twitched and his breathing became weak.
Chen Qingqing tensed up instantly and quickly injected him with a drug to stimulate blood flow to his heart.
They also purchased 800cc of type O blood bags from the space to give to the Chu Emperor for a blood transfusion.
After a series of procedures, the Chu Emperor's bodily functions were restored.
But she still noticed something was wrong. The blood being transfused into the Chu Emperor seemed to be being devoured by something, and the speed was several times faster than a regular blood transfusion.
What is drinking blood?
Could it be that...
Chen Qingqing performed a full-body CT scan on the Chu Emperor.
Sure enough, a bloodthirsty worm was hiding in his artery, crawling around inside him.
Chen Qingqing's expression changed, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.
how so,
How could there be bloodthirsty Gu worms inside the Chu Emperor's body!
Once the bloodthirsty worm enters a person's body, the larvae initially suck a small amount of blood. As they grow larger, they suck more and more blood, and the parasite will suffer from cold symptoms due to the toxins secreted by the worm.
Within a month, the larvae grow into adults, and the parasites die.
Who on earth could be so cruel as to give such a vicious Gu worm to the Emperor of Chu?
The situation is critical; if the Gu worms are not removed soon, the Chu Emperor will not live more than three days.
She didn't dare make a decision rashly, so she pushed open the door and went out.
Many ministers and Chu Jiuqing stood anxiously outside the door.
Seeing her come out, Chu Jinxuan hurriedly asked, "Divine Doctor, how is it? Is there any chance that my father's illness can be cured?"
Chu Jiuqing also waited expectantly for Chen Qingqing's answer.
Chen Qingqing shook her head. "The Emperor has been poisoned with a bloodthirsty Gu worm. He won't survive more than three days."
Chu Jinxuan's face lit up with joy, but he quickly concealed it. No one could cure Zi You's Gu poison. Now let's see how Chu Jiuqing can challenge him.
"Is there a way to draw out the poison?" Chu Jiuqing asked, frowning.
Chen Qingqing shook her head. "It won't be easy to lure them out."
Upon hearing this, Chu Jinxuan was secretly delighted. He thought to himself, "Dream on, no one can cure this poison."
Before he could be happy for long, Chen Qingqing's voice rang out again.
"Although this poison is dangerous, if the blood of a close relative is mixed with sesame oil as a catalyst, the poison worm can crawl out of the mouth, and the emperor will be safe."
"Zhuifeng, quickly go and get some sesame oil." Chu Jiuqing rolled up his sleeves and cut his arm with a dagger without hesitation. "The Emperor and I are father and son. Quickly use my blood to save my father's life."
A bowl of fresh blood was quickly drawn up, and Zhui Feng brought over the sesame oil.
Chu Jinxuan's face paled. This woman was truly extraordinary. If the Emperor Chu were to wake up, a little investigation would reveal that the tonic he had given him was the problem, and he would surely be doomed.
Seeing Chen Qingqing about to enter the house with the blood, Chu Jinxuan quickly blocked her way with a questioning look on his face.
"You're talking nonsense. All of my father's food is inspected by special personnel. How could he be infected with Gu worms? You must be playing tricks and making a fuss."
Chen Qingqing smiled enigmatically, "Your Highness, the truth about how the Emperor was poisoned will come out once he wakes up."
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly turned sharp. "Get out of the way! If we delay any longer and something really happens to the Emperor, you will be the culprit!"
Chu Jinxuan's face twitched. With so many ministers present, he couldn't very well stop them, but he knew the situation was hopeless and everything was over.
Chen Qingqing went into the house, poured sesame oil into the bowl of blood, and then added a few drops of anesthetic.
Instantly, the bowl emitted a bloody smell mixed with a faint fragrance.
She placed the bowl of blood beside the Chu Emperor, took out a strong liquor, put on disposable gloves, and waited quietly...
The bloodthirsty worms love the taste of blood mixed with sesame oil.
As soon as it smells the blood, it will crawl out of the Chu Emperor's mouth to suck his blood.
She needs to quickly pour in white wine after the blood-sucking worm has finished drinking the bowl of blood in order to subdue it.
The blood laced with anesthetic should be able to paralyze it. Hopefully, it will slow down; otherwise, once it returns to the Chu Emperor's body, luring it back will be incredibly difficult.
She made all the necessary preparations and waited quietly for the bloodthirsty worms to crawl out.
A quarter of an hour, then another quarter of an hour, passed, and there was still no movement.
Sweat beaded on Chen Qingqing's face. Just when she thought this method wouldn't work, the Chu Emperor's mouth opened slightly, and a tiny black shadow wriggled inside.
A reddish insect, covered in fine hairs and gleaming with an eerie red glow, cautiously poked its head out.
Its two tentacles trembled slightly, as if sensing the unfamiliar and dangerous external environment.
It rested its slender forelimbs on the edge of his lips, moving as gently as if afraid of disturbing some taboo.
Then, it slowly moved its body out, pausing for a moment after each small step, as if gathering strength or being wary of a potential crisis.
The worm's abdomen pressed tightly against the corner of the Chu Emperor's mouth, as if it were the safest refuge.
When most of its body was exposed, the Chu Emperor suddenly smacked his lips unconsciously.
The worm froze instantly, its fur standing on end in tension, its limbs pressed tightly against its lips, daring not to move an inch.
Chen Qingqing's heart was in her throat. She stood motionless, even her breathing was exceptionally soft, for fear of disturbing it.
Only success is allowed; failure is not permitted.
Success would mean returning home alive to see her family, but failure was something she couldn't bear...
After a long while, seeing no further movement, the Gu worm slowly continued to crawl outwards.
Finally, it crawled completely out of the Chu Emperor's mouth and landed on the pillow.
It quickly crawled down the pillow to the bowl and began to slurp it up.
Seeing that the blood in the bowl was quickly emptied, Chen Qingqing swiftly poured in high-concentration alcohol. Although the blood-sucking Gu worms liked blood, they were very sensitive to liquor. They would get drunk just from smelling it, let alone a full bowl. The blood-sucking Gu worms soon became motionless.
Chen Qingqing smiled and pushed open the door with a bowl in her hand. "Xiaoyu, the Gu worms have been lured out, and the Emperor is completely alright."
Chu Jinxuan swayed upon seeing the Gu worm.
At this moment, the Chu Emperor slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.
"The Emperor is awake! The Emperor is awake!" the eunuch cried out in surprise...
