Exile at the start? The princess is no ordinary woman.
Chapter 72 Savior
Chen Gang had fallen into a brief coma due to the spread of the toxins. The antidote took effect within 45 minutes, neutralizing the poison in his body. However, he was still somewhat dazed.
His mind was still blank; his bewildered eyes darted around in their sockets as he looked at the people in front of him who were worried about him.
She asked in a murmur, "Brother, what's wrong with me?"
"Gangzi, you were bitten by a poisonous snake and you've been poisoned. We've given you the antidote. How are you feeling now? Are you feeling any better?"
"How are you? Gangzi, are you feeling better? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
This concerned reminder helped Chen Gang's blank mind start working again, and he remembered that he had been bitten by a venomous snake.
He thought he was going to die, but to his surprise, he survived. Fortunately, his older brother didn't give up on him and even took him to a doctor who cured him of the poison. Even now, thinking about it still makes him shudder.
My mind started working again, my eyes gradually cleared, and my body, which had been weak from the snake venom, began to feel lighter.
"Big Brother, Brother Qian, Brother Cao, everyone don't worry, I'm fine, much better."
In just a minute or two, Chen Gang's complexion had gradually improved significantly, and seeing his clear eyes, the others finally believed that the medicine they had given him was truly effective.
The worry on his face turned into joy.
"It's alright now, it's alright now."
"The poison is gone! That's wonderful! It seems the medicine really works. The princess truly understands pharmacology; she was able to neutralize such a potent poison."
"Gangzi, I'm so glad you're alright."
The escorts surrounding Chen Gang expressed their joy in a flurry of voices. They had made the right gamble this time. After much deliberation, they chose to believe the seemingly weak and helpless young woman, thus saving Chen Gang's life.
Otherwise, if they hadn't chosen to believe them and instead led their people to the next town, who knows what the outcome would have been?
Amidst the flurry of concern from the group, Chen Gang forced a smile and thanked them.
He gradually realized that they were still in the camp where he had been bitten by the snake, so his elder brother did not take him to find a doctor.
Where did he get the antidote? There wasn't a doctor in their group.
"Brother, who cured me of the poison? Don't we have a doctor in our group?"
After a brief moment of joy, Chen Gang's mention of it reminded everyone of the conditions Gu Nanzhi had set for his detoxification, and a hint of unease flashed across their faces.
By this time, the person had been detoxified, and some even considered not fulfilling the promised conditions.
“Gangzi, it was Princess Yan who found the antidote for you. She diagnosed that the snake venom you were bitten by was the venom of a snake called the banded krait. If this venom is not treated in time, it will kill a person within two hours. In the end, she asked her to help you find the antidote at the place where you were bitten by the snake.” Qian Laosi quickly told Chen Gang the situation.
Chen Gang was also surprised. Princess Yan? Such a young woman actually knew about pharmacology?
Judging from everyone's reactions, Qian Laosi was right; it was indeed that woman who cured him of the poison.
He had personally experienced the effects of this snake venom and knew it very well. Its potency and rapid spread meant that he felt he wouldn't survive in such a short time.
Unexpectedly, he was saved by that woman in the end. Considering he had been angry with her earlier words, he felt a little embarrassed.
At that time, all he knew was that the other person was an exiled prisoner, and he wanted to establish the authority of the escort officer to ensure the smooth progress of the journey. But then he was rescued.
Chen Gang is a man who distinguishes right from wrong, and that woman can be considered his savior.
He should find an opportunity to thank the person and take care of them along the way to repay their life-saving grace.
Just as Chen Gang was thinking this, another escort added,
"It was indeed the antidote found by Princess Yan, but she only agreed to remove the shackles on the condition that she would help detoxify him."
He added this sentence at this moment without any other meaning; it was simply because Princess Yan had said that Chen Gang would be cured of the poison in a quarter of an hour, and then he should go and remove the shackles from his group of six.
Chen Gang woke up and was alright; it was time to face the truth of the matter.
It's unclear what the boss's intentions are at this point; will he keep his promise?
As they were saying this, one of the escorts turned to look in Gu Nanzhi's direction, and they met her gaze, which held a hint of a smile that didn't reach her eyes.
It was as if they were being urged to hurry over and remove the shackles from him;
There was a brief silence among the guards, but Chen Gang reacted quickly, stating righteously and firmly that...
"Brother, since you promised the Princess's conditions, you should fulfill them. Now that my poison has been cured, it's time to remove the shackles from the Princess and the others."
I believe that even if the princess and the others are freed from their shackles, they will behave themselves and will not do anything rash. For the past three days, the princess and the others have been the most well-behaved among the exiled families.”
Although he was just a lowly escort and not very educated, he understood the principle of repaying a life-saving debt tenfold. He couldn't change his benefactor's fate, but at least he could do his best to report back on the journey ahead.
Moreover, he genuinely trusted the princess and the others. For the past few days, he had been walking at the back, observing them, and they were the most well-behaved. They would set off immediately when they said they would, without uttering a single complaint along the way.
Moreover, those shackles were indeed tiring to wear, and it was especially difficult for the princess, a woman.
Since they are our benefactor, we should try our best to make things easier for them.
Qian Laosi wholeheartedly agreed with Chen Gang's words and couldn't go back on his word; that woman was no simple character.
What if they offend her? The journey is long, and what if she silently poisons them?
Those who understand pharmacology, and even those who know how to use poison, are not to be trifled with.
"Boss, Gangzi is right. Now that the chains have been removed, we should keep our promise. The princess is poisonous, and the shackles are useless in her hands."
Qian Laosi's words also served as a reminder to the others, especially those who had even considered not keeping their promises.
Yes, the princess knows poison, and those shackles are indeed useless in her hands. If she really had any intentions, they couldn't restrain her at all.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that it's best to keep the promise.
"Boss, Fourth Brother is right. Let's do as we said and untie him first. We'll decide what to do if he does anything else."
"Boss"
Chen Qiang remained silent for a moment, listening to everyone's words. Although he did this kind of job, he was a man of his word, and since he had already promised, he naturally wouldn't break his promise.
He just wanted to wait a little longer to make sure his brother's body was free of the poison before going.
Another point is that their journey is long, and they don't know what unexpected things might happen along the way. Having a doctor who understands pharmacology in the group is certainly a good thing.
And that woman's actions were indeed unusual and admirable.
His only concern was the presence of the group of six, especially Jun Yanchen, whose identity was special. He worried that removing the shackles might implicate the escorts responsible for their transport.
"Let's go, let's go over there."
