Before Zheng Dinglian finished his words, he began to cough violently and spit out blood.

Gu Qinlan quickly shouted to Jiang Boyi who was standing there in a daze, "Come over and help me."

Jiang Boyi came to his senses and hurried forward, supporting Zheng Dinglian while anxiously saying:

"Oh my god, he's bleeding so much. Is he really going to die? Look at you. If anything happens to him, won't you be a widow?"

Gu Qinlan turned a deaf ear to Jiang Boyi's nagging. She simply put her hand on Zheng Dinglian's pulse and frowned.

Is this... the poison from southern Xinjiang?

The poison was still dormant in Zheng Dinglian's internal organs and had not yet penetrated deep into his lungs, so it could only cause him to faint from time to time.

However, if the toxin invaded the lungs, it would probably cause Zheng Dinglian to become paralyzed all over immediately, and eventually his limbs would gradually atrophy, and he would die miserably on his sickbed!

This situation is surprisingly consistent with the cause of Zheng Dinglian’s previous death!

Fortunately, the poison had not yet reached her lungs at this moment. It seemed that her intervention had somewhat changed the trajectory of her fate.

Gu Qinlan's mind raced, not daring to slack off for the moment. She quickly took out the golden needles and accurately inserted them into several acupuncture points in Zheng Dinglian's body to curb the spread of the poison.

At this moment, Zheng Dinglian had completely fallen into a coma, leaning in Jiang Boyi's arms.

"master!"

"How is the master?"

Wei Lin and Lou Wei finally jumped onto the roof like flying, and saw Zheng Dinglian spitting blood and unconscious, and they were extremely anxious.

Wei Lin saw Gu Qinlan still giving acupuncture to Zheng Dinglian and asked anxiously:

"What are you doing? Who gave you the authority to touch our master? Are you trying to murder him?"

Before he finished speaking, Wei Lin tried to snatch Zheng Dinglian away.

Gu Qinlan didn't even raise her eyelids, and directly ordered to the eyebag beside her:

"stop."

Without hesitation, Wocan drew out his sword, pointing the tip of the sword directly at Wei Lin, and his cold voice echoed in the night sky:

"If you dare to interfere with my princess's acupuncture again, don't blame me for being ruthless with your sword!"

"You..." Wei Lin was extremely angry and wanted to fight with Wocan, but Lou Wei pulled Wei Lin back in time and said anxiously:

"Wei Lin, calm down! The princess won't harm Prince Yu Duan!"

"But……"

Although Wei Lin knew in his heart that Gu Qinlan had no reason to hurt Zheng Dinglian, he still found it hard to believe that a woman who lived secluded in the boudoir could actually save someone's life?

After Gu Qinlan gave Zheng Dinglian a few injections, his breathing became stable and no more blood was flowing out.

She then slowly pulled out the golden needle, turned her gaze towards Wei Lin and Lou Wei, and finally stopped at Lou Wei, asking:

"Where did the poison in his body come from? Where exactly was the injury?"

Lou Wei was stunned. He didn't expect that Gu Qinlan actually knew so much about the poison in Zheng Dinglian?

It seems that this Princess Duan is indeed extraordinary!

No wonder the master just told them to follow Gu Qinlan’s instructions.

Captain Lou immediately recounted in detail how the military doctor deliberately released the poison when applying medicine to Zheng Dinglian.

"Only half of the poison remains?"

Gu Qinlan raised her eyebrows slightly, as if thinking about something.

That's it!

Although the poison was so strong that it could kill people, Zheng Dinglian used his keen skills to cut off the toxicity in time, so that although the toxin was strong, it did not penetrate deeply into the internal organs.

However, Zheng Dinglian was in a precarious situation at the moment.

The internal force just used caused the poison to spread again.

"Carry the man back into the house first. I will check his injuries later."

Gu Qinlan stood up and gave unquestionable orders to Lou Wei and Wei Lin.

Lou Wei nodded, exchanged a glance with Wei Lin, and then stepped forward to support Zheng Dinglian.

Although Wei Lin felt a little unhappy, he knew that Zheng Dinglian's safety was of vital importance at this moment.

As they walked down the roof, Gu Qinlan glanced at Lu Yu and the others and instructed Jiang Boyi:

"Send someone to keep a close watch on them. These people are important pawns in our hands."

Jiang Boyi nodded and said, "I understand, but Zheng Dinglian..."

"It's okay. It's not life-threatening yet."

Gu Qinlan gave Jiang Boyi a comforting smile, turned around and left without saying anything more.

As soon as Gu Qinlan arrived outside Zheng Dinglian's door, she found that many people had gathered there.

The old princess and her three young children were anxiously standing by Zheng Dinglian's bed, with worried looks on their faces.

Seeing Gu Qinlan coming, the old princess immediately stepped forward, tightly held Gu Qinlan's hand, looked him up and down, and asked worriedly:

"Qin Lan, are you okay? Oh, are you injured?"

Although the old princess was concerned about Zheng Dinglian, she also knew that if it weren't for Gu Qinlan's persistence just now, everyone in Prince Duan's Mansion would probably be in danger.

Therefore, when she saw Gu Qinlan injured, she couldn't help but worry and hurriedly called for Nanny Wei to call for a doctor.

Gu Qinlan held the old princess, shook her head gently, and comforted her:

"Don't worry, mother. I am only injured physically. Zheng Dinglian's condition is more urgent. Fortunately, Prince Duan returned in time. He is the one who needs the most attention now."

After hearing this, the old princess looked at Zheng Dinglian, who was lying unconscious on the bed with his eyes closed, and said with tears in her eyes:

"How could it turn out like this? Qin Lan, you are an excellent doctor, what do you think of Ding Lian..."

"Mother, please be patient. Let me take a closer look at your injuries."

"Okay, okay, look, we are the ones disturbing you."

The old princess nodded quickly, waved to the three children, and said gently:

"Get out of the way quickly and don't interfere with your mother's treatment of your father."

After hearing this, the three children immediately stepped aside, their three little faces filled with concern and anxiety.

Gu Qinlan sat down beside Zheng Dinglian's bed without hesitation, and according to Lou Wei's instructions, carefully lifted up Zheng Dinglian's trouser leg.

What caught the eye was the once strong and powerful legs, now covered with shocking wounds, both new and old, and a black lump on the thigh!

The black mass had begun to fester and pus was slowly oozing out, creating an extremely horrifying sight.

Seeing this scene, Lou Wei couldn't help but sigh:

"Military doctors have tried to treat this wound many times, but after each treatment, Prince Duan can only wake up temporarily for a moment, and then the poison gathers again, and it has never been completely eradicated..."

The timely treatment this time was also because Prince Duan happened to be awake when he returned to the city, otherwise it would have been difficult to save him.

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan nodded slightly and said calmly: "Although the military doctor's treatment did not completely solve the problem, it did effectively curb the spread of the toxin. However, in order to completely eliminate this kind of Nanjiang Gu poison, the other half of the Gu worm in Prince Duan's body must be induced and eliminated."

After hearing this, Lou Wei asked expectantly, "Does the princess know how to lure out the poisonous insect?"

Gu Qinlan was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"The reason why Prince Duan was able to return here alive is because he successfully cut off the poisonous insect in his body. However, because of this, the poisonous insect was damaged and hid in his body. It is indeed quite difficult to draw it out."

As soon as the words came out, everyone's faces looked a little depressed.

Wei Lin couldn't help but glance at the old princess, then suggested:

"I think we should go find Doctor Du. Before the master returned to the capital, didn't he tell us to ask Doctor Du, the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital?"
