Standing at the door of the Ghost King's residence, Qi Fei hesitated again.
It will be dawn in two more hours. Do we really need to be in a hurry right now?
But Mrs. Tong asked someone to deliver a letter to the city in the middle of the night. Maybe there was an emergency?
Just as Qi Fei was fighting between heaven and man in his mind, the door to the Ghost King's room suddenly opened from the inside.
Qi Fei gritted his teeth, went in with the things, told the whole story, and handed over the paper with the seal.
The Ghost King was stunned when he saw the paper. He turned around and opened a rattan box he had brought from the village, and took out a piece of paper that had turned yellow and discolored.
There are also imprints on the paper. Although they have faded over time, by comparing the two, it can still be seen that the two imprints should come from the same seal.
The Ghost Master immediately asked Qi Fei: "Where did this piece of paper come from?"
"They said before that Lady Tong was the apprentice of the granddaughter of the miracle doctor Jiang. Maybe after something happened to the Jiang family, the seal came into Lady Tong's hands, right?" Qi Fei guessed.
Upon hearing this, the ghost master found a key and handed it to Qi Fei, saying: "You should immediately take someone to get them medicine and send them out of the city as soon as possible."
Qi Fei didn't know the relationship between Jiang Sui and the Ghost Lord, so he didn't expect this mark to be so useful.
The Ghost Lord had previously regarded those medicinal materials as treasures, and specially asked people to move them to the wing in the courtyard where he lived. He locked them tightly and took the key with him.
Now that I saw the mark, I immediately relaxed.
Qi Fei didn't think too much and took the people to prepare the medicinal materials requested by Madam Tong and send them out of the city.
Fan Bingrong didn't expect that Shen Tianshu's trick would really work, and couldn't help but ask: "Ms. Tong, why does the seal of Dr. Jiang make the ghost master obey orders?"
"Lord Fan is joking, this is not about obeying orders, it's just that Divine Doctor Jiang had contacts with many Wuman tribes in the past in order to collect medicines, and he often helped their tribesmen to treat illnesses, so we have some friendship.
"I actually don't know what kind of contact he has with those tribes. I just tried it out, but I didn't expect it to be really useful."
As Shen Tianshu said this, his hands were still busy weighing the medicinal materials.
Yan Heming was also helping, and soon the two medicine men started to cook the medicine together.
Although he kept changing the bandana and applying ice, Li Zian's fever never improved.
When it was almost dawn, the decoction for internal use was finally ready.
Mo Ze helped Li Zian up from lying down, and Shen Tianshu carefully fed him the decoction.
"Your Majesty will probably sweat after taking the medicine. Don't cover him too much, and remember to wipe him frequently."
As Shen Tianshu spoke, he stretched out his hand to check Li Zian's pulse again.
Unexpectedly, although Li Zian fell asleep, he was still very defensive.
As soon as Shen Tianshu put three fingers on his wrist, he grabbed him with his backhand and held on.
Mo Ze took a look and asked Madam Tong to help keep an eye on the prince. After that, he took the medicine bowl and ran out of the tent.
Li Zian's palms were hot and pressed tightly against Shen Tianshu's wrist.
Shen Tianshu wanted to break free, but the more she moved, the tighter Li Zian's grip became. She had no choice but to ask someone to take some fragrant pills to repel mosquitoes and light them up. He simply sat on the ground next to her and looked at Li Zian.
Drinking the decoction did make you sweat, and soon Li Zian was covered in sweat, but he never woke up.
Mo Ze went in and out and wiped his body several times. When it was almost noon, the high fever finally subsided.
Maybe it was because he no longer had a fever, so Li Zian's brows relaxed a lot, and the hand that was holding Shen Tianshu loosened gradually.
Yan Heming got into the tent carrying the medicine sling and whispered: "Ms. Tong, do you think this medicine is working like this?"
Shen Tianshu opened the lid of the medicine basket and stirred it. He saw that all the medicinal materials had been boiled inside and turned into a fine black paste. He nodded and said, "Okay, find a box to put the things out and let them cool down." It’s time to apply medicine.”
Li Zian didn't know whether it was because he was too tired or injured, but whether he wiped his body or applied medicine, it did not affect his deep sleep at all.
When he finally woke up from his sleep, the sky outside was a little dark.
Li Zian opened his eyes. There were candles burning in the tent and the familiar smell of insect repellent pills. The injured area on his back that was originally burning now felt cool and comfortable.
"Here comes someone!" Li Zian called in a hoarse voice.
Mo Ze, who had just gone out to pour water, quickly ran in and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, you are finally awake."
"Have I slept for a long time?" Li Zian looked at the sky outside, "It's not bright yet!"
"My Lord, it's already night, and you've been sleeping all day and night." Mo Ze helped Li Zian up as he spoke, "Last night you slept until midnight and started to have a fever. The fever was so severe, we The medicine on hand was not enough, so Master Fan sent someone to look for Qi Fei in Juzhou City in the middle of the night, and then came back with the medicine."
When Li Zian heard that it was already the second night, he quickly asked: "Where is Lady Tong?"
"Ms. Tong has been guarding you in the tent. She left in the afternoon and was taken by Qi Fei to Juzhou City to treat Jia Lin." Mo Ze finally settled Li Zi'an and asked him to sit aside. " I must be hungry after sleeping for so long. Master Fan asked someone to prepare some soft and easy-to-digest food. I will bring it to you, little one."
Li Zi'an warned: "Go and tell Mr. Fan that Mrs. Tong is not allowed to stay overnight in Juzhou City, and she will be brought back as soon as she is cured."
Shen Tianshu is in Jia Lin's room at the moment. Not only Qi Fei and several elders are present today, but also the Ghost Lord is here in person.
Coupled with Yan Heming and several guards, about ten people watched eagerly as she took off the straps.
The straps on his legs were almost soaked with blood and pus from the wounds, and Shen Tianshu took them off carefully.
After taking it apart and carefully examining the wound, Shen Tianshu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The maggots are gone."
As soon as he said this, everyone else in the room ignored the stench and all came forward to take a closer look.
The maggots that could not be completely removed either by picking them up or by washing them with water actually disappeared without a trace.
While everyone was still in shock, the great elder of the Wuman tribe suddenly fell to his knees and muttered something unknown.
Shen Tianshu couldn't understand Wuman language, so he didn't pay attention and was carefully considering what to do next.
However, Qi Fei heard clearly that the great elder was thanking the gods and the ghost master constantly, as if he was not the one who strongly opposed it before.
The ghost owner also knew something about his son's condition, and had actually given up hope before.
But after seeing Jiang Sui's seal yesterday, he finally gained confidence again and came here to check on the situation today.
