Remarry 9,000 Years Old
Chapter 160 Seeking Medicine from King Cheng
Mrs. Shen felt uneasy all day.
Qiao Qiao told her early in the morning that there would be a banquet for many ladies in the court today. Although entering the backyard was strictly prohibited, there might be naughty girls barging in, so she asked her to be careful.
She also thought about staying at a farm in the suburbs for two days, but she was afraid that someone would find out and cause trouble for Qiao Qiao.
He simply closed the door and hid in the small room.
After she cleaned up the house over the past few days, it looked much more elegant, with a small Buddhist shrine in the middle.
The girl Qiao Qiao picked out some of the dowry that was originally left for her, including the butterfly-carved incense burner that she used to use, and the mutton-fat white jade **.
She knew the child was thoughtful.
However, the more this happened, the harder it was to say some things to her.
After Prince Cheng left that day, he did not come back to bother her as promised, which made her feel more at ease.
Keeping such a huge secret naturally makes one extremely nervous.
Several times when facing the child, she had the urge to tell the truth, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.
She couldn't bring unknown danger to her daughter and son-in-law.
So these days, apart from eating and sleeping, Mrs. Shen has been eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures almost all the time, hoping that the Buddha will bless the family with peace.
But I don’t know what happened today. I couldn’t calm down and couldn’t even recite the Precious Flower Sutra. I always felt that something was going to happen.
She guessed that they might be afraid of someone suddenly breaking in, so she stood up and looked. It was already getting dark outside, and she thought that those people would go back in groups after dinner. Only then did she feel a little relieved.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Mrs. Shen was startled and looked carefully to find that it was Linglong.
"What happened? Why are you so flustered?"
Linglong was filled with panic and, without caring about etiquette, she rushed forward and grabbed Mrs. Shen's sleeve.
"Madam, it's bad! The young lady has been poisoned!"
Mrs. Shen's heart, which had been hanging in the air for the whole day, felt as if all her strength had been drained away. She could not even stand steadily and hurriedly held onto the table next to her.
Linglong stepped forward and supported her, and Mrs. Shen didn't care about anything else.
"What's wrong with Qiao Qiao?"
Linglong's voice was tinged with tears.
"The young lady was bitten by a poisonous creature and her life or death is uncertain."
Before she finished her words, Mrs. Shen grabbed the veil beside her, put it on, and ran out in two steps.
Shen Nanqiao's bedroom was not far from the backyard. When Mrs. Shen entered the room, she saw her precious daughter lying on the bed at a glance.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, she pulled down her veil and rushed to the bed.
Shen Nanqiao's face was burning, his cheeks were terribly red, his lips were pale, and there was a dark shadow between his brows.
Mrs. Shen was terrified.
"Qiao Qiao, what do you think? Please don't scare me."
Shen Nanqiao's starry eyes were slightly open, and her breath was weak.
Mrs. Shen held her daughter's hand and tears immediately fell.
"She was bitten by a poisonous spider." Ning Su explained sternly, "I have sent people to find medicine."
"How could such a thing happen?..." Mrs. Shen swallowed her words halfway through. It was useless to say these words at this moment.
"I'm fine." Shen Nanqiao comforted his mother intermittently, "Don't worry..."
Before she finished her words, a trickle of black blood flowed down the corner of her lips, severely burning Mrs. Shen's eyes.
She calmed herself down and turned to Ning Su.
"I remember there was a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in Qiao Qiao's dowry, which can prolong life when necessary."
The thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum was left to his adoptive father by the Third Prince. It was extremely precious and she had never been willing to use it, so she secretly asked Aunt Ma to include it in Shen Nanqiao's dowry list.
I never thought that one day it would actually come in handy.
Shen Nanqiao's eyes flickered slightly.
"That Lingzhi was given to Shen Jingyi by Aunt Xu when she was trying to snatch the dowry... I don't have any of it anymore."
Mrs. Shen was horrified.
"How dare she..."
"My mother knows what kind of life I led at my parents' home. Why bother asking me..." Shen Nanqiao breathed with some difficulty and did not continue.
Mrs. Shen was deeply saddened and bit her lower lip tightly.
Seeing his mother like this, Shen Nanqiao felt that he had said something too much, so he reached out and held his mother's hand.
"Life and death are determined by fate. If this is really my fate, I will accept it."
Mrs. Shen's tears fell on the back of her daughter's hand, and she suddenly looked up as if she remembered something.
"I remember that when Prince Cheng led the Northwest Army to a great victory, the late emperor once rewarded him with a Baijie Pill!"
The Baijie Pill is said to be able to cure a hundred poisons. It was made by the imperial master in the past. There are only a few of them left in the world, and one of them is in the hands of King Cheng.
Shen Nanqiao smiled bitterly.
"Mother, are you confused? I have no relationship with His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, so how can I let him give up his love to save me?"
Mrs. Shen's face became rarely embarrassed. She pursed her lips and didn't say a word.
Ning Su interrupted at the right time.
"I have sent people to the palace to invite the imperial physician, and the detoxification experts are on their way." He paused, "I think there will always be a way."
The meaning of this statement was very clear, and Mrs. Shen suddenly looked up.
"That is to say, you are not completely sure, right?"
Ning Su sighed rarely.
"This is a giant poisonous spider from Miaojiang. I'm not sure if the imperial doctors in the palace can help." He glanced at Shen Nanqiao in embarrassment, "I can only say that I will try my best."
Shen Nanqiao turned his face away, trying to pretend that he didn't care.
Mrs. Shen felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife when she heard this.
The palace physician arrived quickly. Madam Shen lowered her head, pulled over her veil, put it on, and stood aside.
The female doctor felt the patient's pulse, looked at the wound, and then frowned.
"Please forgive me, my Lord. I am incompetent. Madam's poison is really too strange. I have never heard of it or seen it before."
Ning Su's expression was so cold that it could have quenched ice.
"Is this the only ability of the Imperial Hospital's national experts? If I remember correctly, you are the last disciple of Imperial Physician Zhu?"
The female doctor knelt down immediately.
"If you don't master the skills, it's really a disgrace to your master."
Mrs. Shen's heart sank.
Doctor Zhu was a famous detoxification expert. He had detoxified many strange poisons in his early years and was well-known. Now he has passed away. If even his apprentice was helpless, then Qiao Qiao's poison...
"It's not that there is no way." The female doctor spoke bravely.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly!" Ning Su's patience had run out.
"The late emperor once left behind a hundred-solution pill. Master once said that if there is an uncurable poison, this pill can easily cure it."
Before he finished speaking, the whole room fell silent.
Ning Su gave instructions to Nanny Liu.
"Take my invitation and go to Prince Cheng's mansion. No matter what the cost, ask him to give it up."
Nanny Liu wanted to go as she was told.
Suddenly, Mrs. Shen was heard speaking.
"Wait a moment!"
