NFBE Chapter 388 Poison
Chapter 388 Poison
Xie Guimo invited the man who was good at detoxifying brought by Xiao Huan to the Peony Courtyard. Xiao Huan and Princess Roujia also went together. They originally came to visit the princess.
Inside the house, Madam An and An Nuan were guarding the princess. The princess fell asleep, but they didn't let Mother Yun wake her up. They just looked at her sleeping face and shed tears.
Seeing the princess sleeping unconscious on the bed, she was almost emaciated. If she hadn't known that this was Princess Jingyang, Princess Roujia would not have dared to recognize her. Her eyes were blurred with tears. The princess was close to Princess Duan and had watched Princess Roujia grow up. She loved Princess Roujia very much. Princess Roujia could not accept that the princess was so sick that she could die at any time.
Princess Roujia covered her mouth and cried. The man sat down to feel the princess's pulse. After a long while, just when Shen Tang couldn't help but want to ask, the man pressed hard on the princess's pulse. Shen Tang clearly saw a small bulge at the princess's pulse. Although it disappeared quickly, Shen Tang was sure that she saw it.
That is……
"Gu insect?!"
Xiao Huan cried out in shock and looked at the man.
The man nodded, "Not only has Princess Jingyang been poisoned, but this poison has been in her body for ten years."
Mrs. An took a deep breath and could hardly stand.
Xie Guimo's face was as cold as if covered with a layer of frost. "Why did it happen now?"
The man said, "The person who put the poison in her probably didn't really want to kill her, so they feed her a little antidote every six months to slow down the attack. Once they stop taking the medicine, the poison will be out of control. Fortunately, I arrived in time. If I had been late for half a day, the poison would have penetrated into her lungs and even a god would have been unable to save her."
Shen Tang became happy, thinking that this could help the princess get rid of the poison, and her life could be saved.
But this poison is difficult to cure, and the man needs to prepare a unique medicine to lure out the insect.
The man wrote down the herbs he needed, and Xie Guimo quickly asked someone to prepare them. Chen Qi brought all the herbs over, and the prince also returned from the military camp.
The man crushed the herbs, put them into a bamboo tube, added the liquid medicine he carried with him, and then cut the princess's wrist.
Blood flowed down.
The man put the bamboo tube on the princess' wrist.
After a while, I saw the poisonous insect on the princess's arm moving towards her wrist.
When it reached the wrist, the man pressed the wrist and moved it with a unique technique. Blood spurted out and a poisonous insect covered in blood flew out.
The prince recognized the poisonous insect at a glance and found it to be exactly the same as the one he saw when he collected the bodies of the Duke of Zhenguo and his son on the battlefield.
In addition, the princess had been poisoned for ten years, and it should be the same poison that the Duke of Zhenguo and his son were poisoned with, or it could even be that they were poisoned in the same day.
Twelve years!
Thinking that the princess had been on the brink of death for the past twelve years, the prince felt a chill down his spine.
The man packed up the insect and then bandaged the princess's wound. The princess lost a lot of blood, but as long as she could save her life, it was nothing.
The man said, "I can prescribe some medicine to treat the remaining toxins in your body. You'll be fine after taking it."
Xie Guimo bowed and said, "I am so grateful for saving my mother."
The man wrote a prescription and Chen Qi went to get the medicine.
The princess was tortured by the poison for half a month, and coupled with the blood loss, it would take at least two or three months of recuperation to fully recover.
Mrs. An stayed by the princess's bedside. When she was sure that the princess had survived, she burst into tears of joy and said to Mother Yun, "The princess is fine. I can rest assured and go back. I will come to see her again in two days."
Mrs. An came and met the princess, but the princess did not see her.
As long as the princess is alive, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future. It doesn't matter if we wait a little while. The princess is already weak and has lost so much blood, so she needs to rest.
Shen Tang wanted to see Mrs. An off, but Mrs. An said, "You're pregnant, so you don't need to see me off."
The maid escorted Madam An and An Nuan out of the house.
Xiao Huan and Princess Roujia did not stay long. They drank a cup of tea and talked for a few words. Xie Guimo then saw them and the man off.
Wutong Courtyard.
The old lady sat on the Arhat couch and ate bird's nest soup.
The Second Wife and Concubine Jiang were present and sent the maids and servants away.
The Second Wife said, "The princess's condition was so severe that she vomited blood. I heard she only has two days left. Concubine Jiang is finally out of it."
In a few months, the prince will be forty years old. At this age, it is not impossible for him to remarry, but the prince is not that kind of person. Besides, Concubine Jiang is his cousin, so he will definitely make Concubine Jiang his legal wife.
Before, because of Jiang Huier, the relationship between the Second Wife and Concubine Jiang had become very strained, but as soon as the princess fell ill, their relationship quickly recovered and was even better than before.
Concubine Jiang has been in a very good mood these days. After being punished by the prince to reflect in the Buddhist temple, Concubine Jiang did not dare to go to the princess again, but knowing that the princess's illness was getting worse day by day, her mood became happier day by day. Otherwise, how could she not cause trouble for Shen Tang? Once she is promoted to the position of legitimate wife, she will have plenty of ways to control the princess.
Concubine Jiang said, "I don't know what disease the princess has..."
But this is not important. What is important is to make room for her. She has been looking forward to this day for almost twenty years, and finally the day has come.
The Second Wife raised her teacup and said, "Congratulations in advance, Concubine."
Concubine Jiang was all smiles.
However, at this moment, the maid knocked on the door and came in, saying, "Old Madam, we have found out what disease the princess has..."
The old lady was about to put down the bird's nest soup in her hand when she looked up and asked, "What disease does the princess have?"
The maid replied, "She was poisoned."
The old lady frowned, "Poison?"
The maid nodded repeatedly, "Prince Ning invited a skilled antidote to the capital to treat the princess. The antidote has already been removed. The princess is no longer in danger of death. She will be fine after a few months of recuperation."
The maid's voice was faintly cheerful.
The princess has a gentle temperament and never treats the servants in the palace harshly. When the princess fell ill, the servants did not want anything to happen to her, because if anything happened to the princess, it would most likely be the prince's wife who would be in charge of the household affairs in the future. If the prince's wife could not protect the power of housekeeper in her hands, it would fall into the hands of Concubine Jiang.
The servants couldn't imagine how strict Concubine Jiang's housekeeper would be. It was better not to let such a thing happen. Now that they knew the princess was fine, the servants in the palace were happy.
The smile on Concubine Jiang's face froze and finally turned ashen.
She was nearly dying of illness, yet she was saved. The position of princess that was about to be in her hands was lost just like that. Concubine Jiang was so angry that her vision went dark.
The second wife and the old lady also looked at each other with frowns.
When he learned that the princess had been poisoned for ten years, he felt as if half of the blood in his body had frozen. He didn't feel sorry for the princess, but was afraid.
The princess has a very tough life.
After ten years of hesitation, he didn't take the princess's life. When he really wanted to take her, someone who was good at removing poison came along...
If the person who was poisoned by the poison does not deserve to die, then the person who poisoned the poison should die.
Concubine Ye...
