A genius girl with her own space
Chapter 21: Retrieving the Gu for the Queen
"Master, I plan to use my blood to lure the poisonous insect." "Are you sure?" "Yeah."
In fact, Qiqi's blood is spiritual, and the insect is intelligent. When it smells the spiritual blood, it will seek it out on its own.
Qiqi channeled spiritual energy into the Queen, searching for the Gu worm. She found a rice-sized Gu worm on her chest and slowly guided it to her arm with her spiritual energy. She could only see something wriggling in a blood vessel. Qiqi took out a knife and first cut her own arm, letting blood drip onto the Queen's arm. Then, two centimeters from the blood, she made another incision. The Gu worm, scenting the spiritual blood, followed the veins to the incision, peering inwardly at the spiritual blood. Finally, succumbing to the allure of the spiritual blood, it leaped onto Qiqi's blood drop. Now, Yunjizi snapped a small porcelain bottle, quickly collecting the Gu worm inside and closed the lid. The Gu worm clung violently to the bottle, unwilling to be trapped. Within the bottle were a few drops of Qiqi's blood. After a while, the Gu worm began to drink the blood, becoming sated and still. This would confuse the person holding the Mother Gu.
Yun Jizi finally let go of his worries. He was worried about his cousin's poison being removed, and also worried about his apprentice's poison worm burrowing through the wound and into Qiqi's body. Qiqi had cut her arm with a knife and couldn't bandage the wound, allowing the blood to flow out. The poison worm would only leave the Queen's body when it smelled enough spiritual energy. Yun Jizi hurried over to bandage Qiqi's wound. "My dear apprentice, you scared me to death. Don't do this again, it's too dangerous." He then stopped the bleeding and bandaged the Queen. Qiqi took out a blood-tonifying pill and gave it to the Queen.
Yun Jizi let Qiqi rest for a while. He felt his cousin's pulse and found it stable. Together, they moved the queen out of the space. He called Zhou Jingze in and told him that the queen was fine and the poison had been resolved.
Zhou Jingze happily picked up Qiqi and spun around a few times until he heard a muffled groan, then he put Qiqi down.
"Put Qiqi down, you little brat. Qiqi cut her arm to save your mother. Be careful." "Qiqi, you..." Zhou Jingze couldn't say any more. He pulled Qiqi's injured arm with a distressed look. He didn't even bother to look at his mother anymore.
Qiqi immediately changed the subject, "Go see your mother first, I'm fine."
After Qiqi finished speaking, she asked the palace maid for some paper and prescribed some blood-replenishing medicines, just to pretend.
Qiqi secretly gave the blood-nourishing medicine to the Empress's trusted nanny, asking her to give it to the Empress daily. The herbal soup could be drunk, harmless to the human body, but it had little effect and could be secretly discarded.
After the anesthetic wore off, the Queen woke up. Zhou Jingze quickly took his mother's hand and asked, "Your Majesty, are you still feeling uncomfortable? Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?" "I'm fine, don't worry, my son." "Your Majesty, it was Qiqi who saved you. She even cut her arm for you." The Queen reached out and pulled Qiqi over and said, "Qiqi, come here, let me see. Does it hurt? It's all my fault. Thank you, my lovely little baby!" "Your Majesty, Qiqi doesn't feel any pain. You're welcome." "Cousin, don't trust anyone in the future. Don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against others," said Taoist Yunji.
"Cousin, please don't tell anyone that you took the poison. We still have to find the person who holds the poison to prevent them from running away." Taoist Yunji said.
"Cousin, I understand. It won't happen. These maids and palace servants are all my confidants. Don't worry." The queen replied.
Qiqi discussed with her senior brother and decided to go home to visit her parents first and look for the person holding the insect in the middle of the night.
Qiqi and her master said goodbye and returned to the Jiang Mansion. When they reached the palace gate, Yunlei, Yunfeng, and Xie Lei were all standing in front of the carriage, looking toward the gate. As Qiqi stepped out of the palace gate, the three brothers ran up to her and embraced her.
"I miss you so much, Qiqiqiqi." Yunlei pulled Yunfeng to Xie Lei, not wanting to fight with me, and picked up his sister and lifted her up. This time she didn't lose weight. Yunfeng kissed Qiqi's forehead. Xie Lei walked over and gave her a light hug. Qiqi, on the other hand, immediately hugged Xie Lei tightly.
"Brother Xie Lei, thank you for taking care of my two brothers."
"You're welcome, we're all family."
"Hello, Taoist Priest." "Hello everyone."
The five of them got on the carriage and returned to the mansion. Jiang Shuoan and Zhao were waiting at the door. When they saw the carriage stop, they came to greet it. Zhao shouted, "Qiqi, my baby, you've been gone for such a long time. Don't you know that your mother misses you?"
Qiqi hugged her mother and said, "Mom, I miss you too. Dad, I miss you too." Qiqi looked at her father. "Mom and Dad, are you all well? Do you still have the spiritual spring water? Do you drink it all the time? Don't be reluctant to drink it. I'll fill a few jars for you later. Go ahead and drink it. I'm relieved that you're all well."
Jiang Shuoan was so moved by his daughter's words that he was speechless. "I, Jiang Shuoan, must have done so many good things in my previous life that God gave him Qiqi. His heart and eyes are filled with thoughts of our well-being. Oh, silly child, you don't know how worried we have been these past few years since you left. As long as you are well and safe, that is our happiness!"
Jiang Shuoan and Zhao quickly bowed to Taoist Master Yunji, thanking him for his training and care for Qiqi over the past few years. They then quickly invited him into the house.
Zhao held Qiqi's hand as they walked ahead, talking about making meat buns, vegetable and meat porridge, roast chicken, roast goose, stewed fish, and even barbecue. Qiqi entered the front hall and saw a table filled with dishes. Yunfeng told his sister that these dishes were all made by their mother herself. Qiqi hugged her mother again and hid her head in her arms, trying not to cry.
A mother's worry for her child is eternal.
Qiqi and the master, in order not to disappoint Zhao's kindness, sat down to greet everyone and began to eat. Qiqi's eating manners amused Zhao and the whole family. She held the chicken leg in her left hand and the skewer in her right hand, eating with great relish.
As he ate, he muttered, "Mom, your cooking is even better than the chef's. Eat more of mine, and don't fight with me." He pointed at his brothers and said this. This made his brothers burst into laughter. The family was so happy that they forgot their sadness. Qiqi was the happy pill in the family, and there was laughter wherever he went.
After dinner, Qiqi took out the gifts for her parents. She gave each of them a spiritual fruit and watched them finish their meals. She then pulled out some Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng from her space and asked her father to soak them in wine. They would strengthen his body and prolong his life. Only then would Qiqi not miss her parents while she ventured out into the world.
Qiqi returned to Yunlei's room and ordered the servants to fetch Yunfeng and Xie Lei. She presented them with three spiritual fruits. The three brothers, knowing they were a token of their sister's affection, devoured them without a word. Afterward, they felt a surge of strength, their minor injuries no longer hurt, having vanished. They all looked at their sister, their eyes simultaneously expressing their gratitude.
The three brothers' eyes held doting, loving affection, and, more importantly, a desire to become stronger. To become stronger and protect their sister, to be her right-hand man in the future. The three brothers knew Zhou Jingze's feelings for their sister, and knew that the Crown Princess belonged to her. They worked hard to become stronger, to support their sister, and to expand their business throughout the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Some time ago, Wang Yunlong arrived at the Jiang residence with Qiqi's token, announcing that Qiqi was the owner of the Secret Door. He then shared the owner's intentions with Yunlei. The three brothers, Yunlei, were busy helping Wang Yunlong quickly open branches in several neighboring countries. With all the branches now open, the three brothers had only just returned home a few days ago. Upon seeing their sister return, they were delighted that they hadn't been away for so long.
The brothers also took out the small toys they bought for Qiqi in the neighboring country and gave them to her. Qiqi was very happy and held them in her arms. Although the gifts were small, they showed the friendship between brothers and sisters.
The brothers told Qiqi about the several branches they had opened in neighboring countries. Wang Yunlong's idea was for the Jiang family and Anmen to split the profits 50-50, with Anmen and Jiang's personnel assigned to jointly manage the branches. Yunlei disagreed, and Wang Yunlong assigned management to all the branches in the neighboring countries. Yunlei and his team would only be responsible for providing the goods, and the payment would be settled monthly. Anmen would keep the profits. They would develop more branches and sub-branch offices.
"Brother, Qiqi, thank you. You all think about me. You have worked hard during this period."
"Sister, we are a family." "Yes, we are a family."
Qiqi now knew that she had integrated into the Jiang family. She was now a member of the Jiang family, not a lonely soul, not the original Jiang Qiqi, but the Jiang family's --- "Jiang Qiqi"
Qiqi walked up to her three brothers and hugged them. "Brothers, it's great to have you."
At nightfall, Zhou Jingze arrived at the Jiang Residence. Qiqi and Master were waiting for him. After some discussion, they decided to first go to Prime Minister Ning's residence to see if it was someone from the south, hired by Prime Minister Ning, who knew about poison, who had poisoned the Empress. Although they hadn't gotten the answer from the assassin, it was likely that Prime Minister Ning had colluded with outsiders to harm the Empress.
