Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 319

It took Shen Lingjun two or three days to clear the chronic toxins from her body.

Just as she expected, she was indeed marinated.

Despite taking countless showers and rinsing herself with running water afterward, she still carried a faint, slightly bitter medicinal smell, though it wasn't as pungent.

Dou Niang originally wanted to use incense to cover it up for her, but the scent of incense mixed with the smell of medicine would only make it smell even worse, so Shen Lingjun had no choice but to give up.

Oh well, it's not that noticeable, and it doesn't smell particularly bad, so let's just leave it as it is.

At this time, she learned that Chu Tianming's situation at the Marquis of Changguo's residence was extremely urgent.

After so many days, Chu Tianming's injuries have deteriorated to the point where his life hangs by a thread.

His left arm developed severe ulceration and necrosis, and the infection spread throughout his body. He had a persistent high fever and was already delirious, with one foot already in the grave.

Doctors, imperial physicians, and itinerant healers came and went from the Marquis of Changguo's residence, but all were helpless.

The entire Changguo Marquis's residence was shrouded in an atmosphere of utter chaos and despair.

Marquis Changguo only had this one legitimate son. Although he had several sons born out of wedlock, none of them were particularly capable. Moreover, like most princes and nobles, Marquis Changguo clearly distinguished between legitimate and illegitimate sons. He always placed the heavy responsibility of inheriting the Chu family on Chu Tianming, his only legitimate son.

Lady Changguo, who had already lost her daughter Empress Chu, was now facing the prospect of losing her son Chu Tianming. She cried herself to death every day, and her eyes went blind from crying.

Even the old lady of the Marquis of Changguo, who had just escaped death and had already come to terms with many things, could no longer remain magnanimous in the face of her grandson's imminent death, and she wept every day with the wife of the Marquis of Changguo.

After sending someone to inquire at the Marquis of Changguo's residence, Shen Lingjun felt that now was the time for her to step forward.

She went to Madam Jingchen's place again and bought a new disguise mask. Because she was required to look exactly like the last one, it was more expensive, costing her 20,000 taels of silver.

Then he used the same trick again, once again posing as the closed-door disciple of the Old Man of Apricot and Orange, and went to the Marquis of Changguo's residence.

Because she had already treated the old lady of the Marquis of Changguo before, everyone in the Marquis of Changguo's mansion trusted her completely this time, and she didn't have to say anything more.

When Lady Changguo saw her arrive, she was as if she had seen a savior, and tears streamed down her face.

"Miracle doctor! Quick! Please, please bring him inside! I beg you, you must save my son!"

Marquis Changguo could not hide his excitement, and his attitude was much more respectful and enthusiastic than last time:

"Divine Physician, my son has a broken left arm, but for some reason, the injury has worsened and is now life-threatening. We beg you to do everything in your power to save him. We will do everything in our power to meet any conditions you may have. Our entire family will forever be grateful for your kindness!"

Shen Lingjun went in with a reserved demeanor and checked on Chu Tianming's condition.

Her timing was perfect. If she had arrived a day later, Chu Tianming could have gone down to meet the 30,000 Shen family soldiers he had killed.

Shen Lingjun deliberately put on a rather solemn expression, frowning slightly as he looked at it for a long time.

The Marquis of Changguo and his wife stared at her intently, almost breathless with tension, before Shen Lingjun calmly said:

"It's really serious, and it will be very difficult to treat. His life can be saved, but his left arm will have to be amputated."

Chu Tianming's left arm was almost rotting into a piece of black, rotten flesh; most people would think it would definitely need to be amputated.

When Marquis Changguo heard that Chu Tianming's life could be saved, he was overjoyed.

None of the previous doctors dared to say that Chu Tianming could be saved. This disciple of the Apricot and Orange Elder truly lives up to his reputation as a master and his student; his medical skills are indeed superb.
