The Eldest Daughter Returns: Imperial Uncle, I'm Pregnant!

“Little girl, this old man never expected to meet you here. With you here, I think the prince is saved.”

"Then what are you standing there for? Hurry up and lend a hand. I really don't know why Xiao Jingchen is wearing so many clothes."

Uncle Chun laughed. He was stunned when he first saw Gu Qingwan, not expecting to run into her here. Now that she was there, the problem was easily solved.

"Uncle Chun, prepare all the silver needles, and also disinfect a dagger for later use." Gu Qingwan said, her hands busy as she spoke.

She first took Xiao Jingchen's pulse, frowned, and then fed him a pill before starting to help him take off his clothes. However, taking off clothes was a very strenuous task, and Gu Qingwan's already limited patience was almost gone. She stood up and drew a soft sword from her waist.

"Girl, what are you doing? You're not trying to murder your husband, are you?" Uncle Chun turned around with his things and saw Gu Qingwan standing in front of the prince with a sword in her hand. The scene looked very strange.

Gu Qingwan glanced at the old man, and saw several flashes of silver light before Xiao Jingchen's clothes were reduced to shreds.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a waste! This fabric could be pawned and exchanged for a lot of good wine, right?"

"Aren't you afraid I'll add something extra?"

Chunbo immediately fell silent, and Gu Qingwan took the silver needles and began to apply them to Xiao Jingchen's body.

"Girl, what did you feed the prince just now? It smells so good!"

Gu Qingwan's lips curled into a strange smile as she said, "This is my master's uniquely prepared poison, you've forgotten such a familiar formula?"

Upon hearing this, Chunbo's face changed: "How dare you give the Prince such a potent poison! You should know that your Hundred Poisons is far more troublesome than the Prince's Fireworks Easily Frozen!"

"Fireworks Fade Easily" is not the most difficult poison to cure, but it is quite despicable. If we wait until we figure it out, Xiao Jingchen will probably be half-crippled. I can't bear to see his good internal strength go to waste like that. Although Hundred Poisons is domineering, it is more obedient.

"Uncle Chun, stop talking nonsense. I have improved the antidote for the poison. It will first consume all the toxins in Xiao Jingchen's body before it takes effect. At that time, I will use a needle to force the poisoned blood to one place. I will give him the antidote for the poison, and you will bleed him at the right time."

"Don't worry, but what is the antidote?"

Gu Qingwan took out the knife she had just sterilized and cut her wrist. She then filled a small porcelain bowl with a cup of the knife and, seeing Xiao Jingchen's expression change, immediately forced him to drink it.

Perhaps because of the taste of blood, Xiao Jingchen felt unwell and wanted to vomit. Gu Qingwan quickly hissed, "If you dare to vomit, I'll beat you to death!"

Whether it was because he heard Gu Qingwan's threat or not, Xiao Jingchen's throat moved and he swallowed the mouthful of blood.

Chunbo couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Sure enough, this brat was still the same as before... the same violent.

This acupuncture technique is very particular and requires the use of internal energy. The patient cannot use their own internal energy to suppress it because they will suffer a backlash from the poison. However, they are helpless against the internal energy provided by the acupuncture. The more they resist the toxin, the more they consume themselves.

Gu Qingwan's forehead was covered in sweat. As Xiao Jingchen's body was covered in black needles, the silver needles on his chest turned from black to silver. The surrounding silver needles began to change color like blooming flowers, but the silver needles on Xiao Jingchen's left arm remained unrecognizable as black.

"Uncle Chun, hurry!"

Gu Qingwan quickly took three of the largest silver needles and inserted them into the acupoints on Xiao Jingchen's left arm, directly blocking the path of the poison.

Chunbo slashed at Xiao Jingchen's wrist with a knife. This slash was very precise; if one wasn't careful, Xiao Jingchen's left hand would be ruined.

The dark blood flowed into the bowl, and the smell was indescribably strange, with a hint of fragrance and a hint of stench, a kind of fragrant and foul smell, with very faint mottled colors floating on the blood.

Seeing that the silver needles had turned back to their normal color and the blood that had flowed out had turned bright red, Chunbo was relieved. He quickly took out some wound medicine to bandage the wound. Xiao Jingchen's complexion returned to normal, although he was a little pale, which was probably due to the pain.

After everything was tidied up, Uncle Chun saw Gu Qingwan sitting to the side drinking water. He sighed and went over to bandage Gu Qingwan's wrist.

"You're really bold, girl. How dare you use such a deadly poison? One wrong move and... you know who's lying in bed, don't you?"

"Uncle Chun, I only did this because I know who he is. I really wouldn't dare to do this to anyone else."

After bandaging the wound, Uncle Chun picked up the poisoned blood and scooped a spoonful onto the flowers. The flowers instantly withered and turned black.

"Oh dear, that's really ruthless. Your modified version is even more ruthless than your master's."

Chunbo and Gu Qingwan naturally knew each other. When Gu Qingwan was on the verge of death due to poor health, her master, who was traveling outside, took a liking to her and took her away for treatment. At that time, everyone thought that the man was a hermit master, a good doctor who dedicated his career to healing the sick and saving lives.

Little did they know that he was the number one poison master in the world, whose poisons were so potent that they inspired fear in everyone. Little Gu Qingwan followed that poison master, appearing innocent on the outside but actually being incredibly poisonous herself.

The little girl was very hardworking. She not only diligently learned poison and medicine from the Poison Immortal, since poison and medicine are inseparable, but she also learned martial arts, transforming herself from a cute little girl into a violent woman.

As for Uncle Chun, that's even more interesting. It's said that poison doctors and healers are inseparable, so Uncle Chun is naturally a famous divine doctor. He and the Poison Immortal are truly a pair of sworn enemies. They clearly have feelings for each other, but they always end up fighting whenever they meet, so they simply stop seeing each other altogether.

"Cough cough cough, how is your master?"

"Which aspect does Chunbo refer to?"

"What do you mean, 'which aspect'! You brat."

Gu Qingwan smiled easily, "I haven't been back for a long time either. I heard that my master went to the Southern Frontier to study some kind of Gu. I wonder if she's having a good time there. If Uncle Chun misses her, you might as well write a letter, and I'll ask someone to send it to you."

"What's there for me to write? It's good that that poisonous woman went to the southern border. Aren't all the people there fond of playing with poison? It would be best if that poisonous woman taught those arrogant people a lesson."

Speaking of this, Gu Qingwan looked at the person on the bed breathing evenly. This time, the poison he was poisoned with came from the Southern Frontier. Although this poison was not the traditional Gu poison of the Southern Frontier, the medicine and its effects were unique to that region. He should be able to find out what happened when he wakes up.

Chunbo, with a hint of ambiguity, took out the wine gourd from his waist and asked, "Girl, you haven't fallen for this prince, have you?"

"Why do you care so much?"

"No, I just think it's best that you've found someone to settle down with. Don't be like your master, who took my body back then and still didn't take responsibility for me. He was such a heartless man."

Gu Qingwan was speechless. She really didn't know how her master had fallen for this imaginative Chunbo. They were even fellow disciples. It was hard to believe.

"Cough cough cough, Wanwan, you have to take responsibility for me, after all, you've already seen my body naked."

A weak voice came from beside the bed.

"How did you wake up?" Gu Qingwan was a little surprised. She had just used up a lot of energy, so how could this person wake up so quickly?

"I'm afraid I'm dreaming, and when I wake up you won't be there anymore."

"Oh, you two are so lovey-dovey. Alright, alright, now that you're awake, you should be fine. I'm leaving now, I won't be an eyesore here."

Chunbo was a very responsible doctor. Although he was still talking incessantly, he had already begun to take Xiao Jingchen's pulse.

"Although Your Highness's pulse is a bit erratic and weak, it's nothing serious. You've just been too exhausted. I'll have the kitchen prepare some food for you in a bit. After you eat, you'll rest for a couple of days and you'll be fine."

"Then please trouble Uncle Chun to have the kitchen prepare more. You must be tired, so have something to eat before you rest."

"I'm afraid you think Miss Gu is tired. Alright, alright, the old man knows."

After Chunbo left, only the two of them remained in the room. Xiao Jingchen still had a blank expression, but he seemed somewhat weak, and the scar on his face was more noticeable.

"Is it ugly?"

Gu Qingwan shook her head. "You didn't already ask, did you? If you care, I can help you remove the scars on your face."

"Why should a grown man like me care about these things? If Wanwan likes it, then let's keep it."

"Tell me, how did our invincible Prince Chu fall for such a despicable poison?"

“I went to the military camp to check on the troop rotation, but unfortunately I encountered an assassin.”

"How could a mere assassin possess such abilities?"

“A mere assassin certainly wouldn’t have that ability, but what about a master of the martial arts world?”

Gu Qingwan frowned. "Who would dare to assassinate you under the emperor's nose? Is it a feud between江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world) members or a hired killer?"

"That's not necessarily true..." Xiao Jingchen felt somewhat frustrated, having been ambushed on his own turf, and his sweetheart had even witnessed it.

"Alright, I don't want to pry too much into your affairs. But you need to be more careful after this. The fact that you fell for such underhanded tricks shows that you underestimated your enemy. The Xishan incident was still unresolved, and your subordinates were caught because they learned from your underestimation of the enemy."

"Wanwan is right. She saved me both times, so I can only repay her life-saving grace with my body."

Although Gu Qingwan had lived through two lifetimes, she was still a conservative young woman. She would blush whenever Xiao Jingchen mentioned offering himself in marriage.

"Offer yourself in return? How does Your Highness intend to offer yourself in return? Can you decide your own marriage? Or are you planning to have me be your mistress outside the palace? Or take me into your palace as a concubine?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingchen immediately became unhappy. He grasped Gu Qingwan's hand and asked, "Did someone say something to you? Why can't I make my own decisions about my marriage?"

"Hmph." Gu Qingwan tried to pull her hand away, but seeing that she couldn't, she didn't use too much force for fear that Xiao Jingchen might not be able to withstand it. She just pretended to be angry and said, "Who told me anything? Aren't all those noble ladies outside lining up to be your Princess Consort of Chu? And doesn't the Empress Dowager want Miss Wen to be your Princess Consort?"

After a while, she still didn't hear any sound. Gu Qingwan looked at Xiao Jingchen with some confusion. She saw that the person who was half-lying on the bed was looking at her with a smile in his eyes. Even the scars on his face made the smile look incredibly gentle.

"Wanwan, this is probably what women call jealousy."

This wasn't a question, but a statement, which immediately made Gu Qingwan furious.
