First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 884 Detoxification (second update)

Gu Jiao and Black Wind King walked through the night and arrived at Quyang City near dawn.

 Quyang City is being rebuilt after the war, and the streets are already filled with people who come to help.

Everyone had already remembered this young commander in red uniform and black armor. When they saw her entering the city, they all saluted her.

 When they first arrived in Quyang City, the people regarded her and Heifengqi as rebels and were afraid to avoid them, but now their view has changed a lot.

 Gu Jiao was in a hurry, so she didn’t stop much, nodded briefly, and galloped over.

 “Has the young commander just returned from fighting somewhere?”

 “With all the blood… you won’t be hurt, right?”

 “It’s so pitiful…”

 The people were heartbroken.

 One of the city defenders had to stand up and refute the rumors: "Commander Xiao is fine. That was the enemy's blood. Don't worry. Commander Xiao is amazing and will be able to fight all the battles safely!"

This is a bit of an exaggeration.

However, after the war, everything is ready for improvement, and this kind of belief in strengthening oneself is indeed needed.

　　Hearing that the young commander was fine, the people felt relieved and continued to work on the task at hand, with their fighting spirit even higher than before.

Xuanyuan Qi was placed in the injured barracks of Heifengqi, and Ye Qingyi guarded him without restraint.

When Gu Jiao dismounted and came to the entrance of the camp, Ye Qinggang came out with a pile of gauze.

 The curtain opened and Ye Qing saw Gu Jiao walking towards him.

At this time, the stars and the moon have disappeared, the rising sun has not yet risen, and the sky is completely gray.

 The fiery red battle clothes brought a stunning color under the half-bright skylight.

 She pushed up the visor of her helmet, revealing a childish little face.

 Just looking at this face, it is difficult to connect her with the commander of the Black Wind Cavalry who killed many enemies.

No matter how many people she killed or how many battles she fought, she always retained the purest clarity in her eyes.

Of course, calm enough.

Ye Qing came back to his senses and said hello: "Are you back? I heard that you went to Jin State, how is the situation?"

Gu Jiao said: "I was attacking Xicheng when I left."

She didn't say how the fight was going, but since she was able to come here, it meant that the situation on the front line was not difficult.

 Ye Qing put the gauze into a nearby basket, turned around and asked Gu Jiao: "Are you here to see the general?"

Gu Jiao nodded: "How is he doing?"

Ye Qing sighed with a complicated expression: "As you know, after a person takes comfrey poison, he will wake up at twelve o'clock at the latest. If he cannot wake up, he is really dead. However, because of the comfrey poison, Grass poison is very toxic and can keep a human body from decaying for several months, so it looks like..."

Gu Jiao frowned: "You mean he hasn't woken up yet?"

Ye Qing couldn't bear to turn his back: "Go in and see for yourself, I...tried my best."

Gu Jiao's heart sank and she opened the curtain!

As a result, Xuan Yuanqi was sitting on the bedside, one arm was hung around his neck, his other arm was lifted, and a big frozen pear was sent to his mouth.

 He took a very big bite.

Gu Jiao came in suddenly and was shocked by the sight in front of her.

 He also paused.

Just looking straight at Gu Jiao, under Gu Jiao's stunned gaze, he completed his bite in slow motion and silently.

 Click!

 Crack!

 Gu Jiao: “…!”

Gu Jiao took a deep breath, turned around and left the camp!

Beside the Black Wind King, Ye Qing covered his stomach and laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up straight for the first time in his life.

Gu Jiao turned her wrist and said dangerously: "Are you happy?"

Ye Qing is usually not so naughty. He is a serious person. Even he himself didn't know what happened today, but he suddenly wanted to tease Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao decided to put Ye Qing in a sack.

But Ye Qing probably turned over the almanac before going out today, and he was very lucky. Just as Gu Jiao was about to find the sack, Marquis Xuanping came over.

 Hou Xuanping came to see Gu Jiao.

 He wanted to know if Gu Jiao had any way to cure Shangguan Qing's poison.

Gu Jiao glared at Ye Qing with an extremely fierce look, just wait, I will put a sack on you next time!

"Wait a moment, I'll go in and see Xuanyuan Qi." Gu Jiao said to Marquis Xuanping and entered the tent again.

Xuanyuan Qi has already fallen asleep after eating the frozen pears. This is one of the side effects of lithospermum poison in the early stages - drowsiness.

Gu Jiao examined Xuanyuan Qi and found that his internal injuries were much lighter than before, and the broken meridians were slowly closing, which showed that Lithospermum was repairing his body bit by bit.

 This is the first time that Gu Jiao has witnessed the miracle of Lithospermum poison in a real sense.

Gu Changqing doesn't count. His Lithospermum poison has expired, and his recovery depends on psychological suggestion. He still firmly believes that he has become a dead soldier.

Gu Jiao exclaimed: "Old wounds are also being repaired..."

 This means that once Xuanyuan Qi recovers, he will no longer have to suffer from internal injuries.

 He will become the same as normal people, maybe even stronger than normal people.

 He has really been reborn.

Gu Jiao was happy for Xuanyuan Qi.

Since this bottle of medicine was contributed by Ye Qing, Gu Jiao decided to beat him lightly when putting the sack on him.

At dawn, Mr. Hu was so excited that his eyes filled with tears when he saw his master returning. He hurriedly greeted him and went to the kitchen to bring breakfast.

 Gu Jiao, Marquis Xuan Ping and Ye Qing all went to the commander's camp.

Gu Jiao has been away for a few days, Master Hu has been cleaning it carefully, making it very neat and clean.

　　Three people gathered around the small case, stepped on mats and sat on the floor.

 Breakfast is millet porridge and steamed buns.

 The three of them finished eating quickly.

Then Xuanping Hou talked about Shangguan Qing's condition: "...I heard that he doesn't have much time left."

He said and glanced at Ye Qing who was standing aside, "The people from your Imperial Master's Palace said it."

Ye Qing already knew about Shangguan Qing's visit to Ghost Mountain, and he also vaguely guessed a bit about the relationship between General Xiao, the daughter-in-law's personal title, and the emperor's eldest grandson, if not for anything else, just because this face was somewhat similar to the emperor's eldest grandson. .

Of course, there was also the way the lady looked at him inadvertently.

He hesitated for a moment and sighed: "It is true that the master said that the poison in His Highness Changsun is very powerful. The poison that can be suppressed for twenty years is the limit, and it cannot be more."

 It is now October, and there are only two months left before the twenty-year period.

Hou Xuanping asked: "Is it accurate to the day of his birth?"

Ye Qing shook his head: "Not really, there is a certain error...it will only be advanced, not delayed."

 The last sentence gave Marquis Xuanping a chill.

　　Xuan Ping Hou still held on to the last glimmer of hope and said: "But he looks just like a normal person..." It doesn't look like he is about to die of poison.

Ye Qing sighed: "The elixir refined by Master has been suppressing his toxicity, so he won't be in much pain when he leaves."

This time it was really not him, the emperor's grandson's poison was indeed irreversible.

　　Horse Xuanping’s eyes fell on Gu Jiao’s face: “Do you have any idea?”

Gu Jiao said: "I'm not good at detoxifying. I sent a letter from Feige to Shengdu a few days ago. There should be a reply from Master Nan soon."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Cao Cao has arrived.

The spies from the Black Wind Camp caught a carrier pigeon from Quyang City and came over: "Little Commander, there is a carrier pigeon that flew back from Shengdu!"

 “Bring it in.” Gu Jiao said.

The spy presented the pigeon. Gu Jiao took off the note tied to the pigeon's leg and took the pigeon out to the spy.

After reading the note, Gu Jiao lowered her eyes: "Senior Nan said she can't cure this poison."

Ye Qing asked: "Is the Nan Shi Niang you are talking about from the Tang clan?"

Gu Jiao said: "Exactly."

Ye Qing sighed: "That really cannot be solved. My master once went to Tangmen in person to ask for medicine, but he came back without success."

Even the Tang Sect cannot detoxify the poison, so it is basically hopeless.

Gu Jiao frowned: "Is...is there really no other way?"

Gu Jiao looked at the pile of bottles and jars on the table. One of them was anti-inflammatory medicine that had just been taken out of the small medicine box and was prepared for Xuanyuan Qi.

 Suddenly an idea flashed in her mind: "Purple grass!"

 Ye Qing was startled.

Gu Jiao said thoughtfully: "Lithospermum poison is the most powerful poison in the world. After taking it, you will most likely die from the poison. But if you get through it, all injuries and illnesses can be cured without medicine."

Ye Qing looked solemn and said: "But... so far... no weak person has survived."

 Take Master Han Wu as an example. His physique is not weak to begin with. He is a martial arts practitioner.

Not to mention Xuanyuan Qi.

 They first have a very strong physique, which gives them a higher survival rate than ordinary people.

 The emperor’s eldest grandson cannot do it.

Gu Jiao said: "How can you know if it doesn't work if you don't try? If on that day, we still can't find a way to cure him, then Lithospermum Poison is the only hope."

 “I agree.” Xuan Pinghou said.

"You..." Ye Qing simply didn't know what to say. The toxicity of Lithospermum was so overbearing that not just anyone could handle it.

What’s more—

 “We don’t have the comfrey poison anymore.”

 The last bottle of Lithospermum poison was fed to Xuanyuan Qi by his arrogant decision.

Gu Jiao stood up: "The Han family has a purple grass garden! Master Hu! Let someone go to the prison and catch Mr. Han!"

In the Han family, Mr. Han is the most spineless dude.

The Han family was already imprisoned in the prison in Quyang City. Master Hu moved quickly and grabbed Mr. Han over in a short time.

Han Sanye is really not intimidated, he started to attack Gu Jiao before she even started to punish her.

“Lithospermum…Lithospermum…is it the kind of grass that…smells colorless and tasteless…but will kill you if you eat it…”

 He knelt on the ground, trembling with fear and speaking incoherently.

Hour Xuanping's eyes were cold and stern, Gu Jiao was filled with murderous aura, and he even stammered when breathing.

Ye Qing took out a pen and paper and drew a comfrey plant. Mr. Han was so stupid that he only saw the outline and didn't recognize it.

Ye Qing colored it again, and Master Han suddenly realized: "I've seen it! I've seen it!"

He said tremblingly, "I... our Han family found a piece of comfrey in Niu County... we surrounded it and built a village... but but but... but the village is gone... the comfrey inside... maybe... maybe not too Already…”

Ye Qing’s expression changed: “What did you say?”

Mr. Han choked up and said: "Zhuangzi was burned... When we were about to lose the battle... my elder brother said... what... I don't want the Black Knight to fall into your hands... so... I sent people to Zhuangzi to destroy the Lithospermum Garden." Got it!"

Han Sanye’s words were like a thunderbolt from the blue to everyone.

No one expected that just as they had the last chance to save Shangguan Qing, the Han family destroyed all their hopes with their own hands.

　　Xuan Pinghou’s face was frighteningly cold.

His murderous intent was about to overflow the entire camp.

Han Sanye was frightened by this terrifying murderous aura and fainted.

Hour Xuanping did not get angry easily, but now, he crushed the cup in his hand, and the broken porcelain shards pricked his palm.

 He couldn't feel which pain was more in his hands or in his heart.

His son, whom he had not met for twenty years, only had two months left to live.

Chang Jing didn't know what happened in the camp. He had just come from Pucheng.

 He beat Zhu Zhang wildly until he cried for his father and mother, and swore a poisonous oath never to reveal his identity.

 The girl from Ruanxiang Pavilion said that a man’s mouth is a liar.

He was not so easily fooled. He fed Zhu Zhangkuang poison. If Zhu Zhangkuang dared to betray him, Zhu Zhangkuang would be poisoned and die.

Zhu Zhangkuang is really honest now.

 The little vest has been saved, and there is no need to be captured back to Dark Night Island.

 Chang Jing is very happy!

 But when he came in, he found that everyone was unhappy.

 Ask if you don’t understand.

 He asked: "What's wrong with you?"

Hou Xuanping was so angry that he couldn't speak, and Gu Jiao didn't speak either.

Ye Qing, the gentle and patient disciple of the National Master's Palace, said helplessly: "We are looking for a kind of comfrey, but unfortunately we can't find it anymore."

"What comfrey?" Chang Jing's eyes fell on Ye Qing's painting, "Is this this? Isn't this kind of comfrey found everywhere?"

Ye Qing choked up: "S-see it everywhere?"

Chang Jing said: "There are many mountains behind my house, and they are all over the hillside."

Everyone looked over at him!

 Chang Jing, who had clearly resolved the crisis in her little vest, suddenly felt an ominous premonition in her heart—

Marquis Xuanping: Master of the Dark Night Sect, your son has been kidnapped. Please redeem him with Lithospermum as soon as possible, or else the vote will be broken.

Lord of the Dark Night Sect: How much is my son worth? You are kidding!

Marquis Xuanping: plus one hundred thousand taels of gold.

Lord of the Dark Night Sect: ()Okay~
