After Dongling Yuanyong left, Lengyue Palace seemed to be normal again, as if nothing happened last night.
When Ximen Yourong woke up, Xiang Qing, who was waiting for her, saw her open her eyes and said with a smile and a smile on her face:
"Miss, you finally woke up. I thought you... you really scared me to death last night."
Ximen Yourong turned over and sat up. She rubbed her groggy head and asked:
"Last night...what happened? How did I spend it?"
She remembered that she fainted due to the cold attack early, and she seemed to be half-conscious during the process, but she couldn't piece together what happened.
She only vaguely felt that when she was suffering from cold pain, there would always be a stream of heat that gradually relieved her pain.
In the past five years, when she suffered from cold poisoning every year, although she would make preparations to alleviate the pain, she could never get through a cold night easily!
But last night, she seemed to have had a very relaxed time, at least it was much better than every previous attack.
Otherwise, she would be so weak that she couldn't even get out of bed, instead of feeling like she had a good, warm sleep.
Thinking about it this way, Ximen Yourong really felt that his hands and feet had normal temperatures.
But how could such a good thing happen? It usually took her several days to get back to normal after she was poisoned by the Great Cold. But she checked her own pulse and found that she was feeling extremely well!
"Last night when Miss was poisoned, I prepared hot soup for Miss to soak in, but Miss was no longer conscious to adjust her breath. I thought whether increasing the dosage of the medicine would help Miss to some extent, so I put in an extra pill while His Majesty was not paying attention.
The "flame" was in the hot water, maybe the effect of the medicine was aggravated, and the lady spent the night peacefully."
Ximen Yourong frowned at Ximen Yourong's words, and she objected:
"I'm unconscious. You can't help me even if you throw all the "flames" at once."
"Flame" is the antidote specially developed by her master, Granny Youkong, for her cold poison...but it can't be said to be an antidote, at most it can only relieve the pain of her poison.
Moreover, when using "Flame", she must consciously inject a needle to open her veins so that the medicinal effect of "Flame" can enter her body. Otherwise, "Flame" will be of no use to her at all.
Although Xiang Qing knew how to use the "flame" to be effective on Ximen Yourong, she scratched her head and said in confusion:
"Last night, miss, you got poisoned early and fainted again. I was afraid of you... Anyway, I had no idea, so I just went to the doctor for the disease. As for the effect... Miss, aren't you okay now? Then prove my method
It should be useful..."
"impossible!"
Ximen Yourong opened the quilt reluctantly and got out of bed. Xiang Qing helped her get dressed while muttering:
"Then His Majesty did something to help the lady, otherwise I can't think of any other possibilities."
Mentioning Dongling Yuanyong, Ximen Yourong paused. She looked at Xiang Qing and asked:
"What does this mean, Your Majesty, what did he do...?"
"Anyway, your majesty and the lady soaked in the bathtub together, and they didn't leave the dormitory until just now. I waited for your majesty to leave before I could come in. I was worried to death at first, but as soon as I came in, I found that hello, miss.
It’s incredible, so I’m obedient..."
"You said His Majesty and I soaked in hot water with "flame" together?" Ximen Yourong exclaimed!
"yes."
"Then he...is okay?"
Ximen Yourong panicked. If Dongling Yuanyong really soaked in the hot water with two "flame" pills in it, the effect of the "flame" would not be useful to her, but to Dongling Yuan.
Yongna is definitely "useful".
Little did Xiang Qing know that "flame" was a semi-antidote to her, but it was also Shengyang's help to others, especially men.
For an average man, as long as he is immersed in a little bit of the medicinal effect of "Flame", his body will quickly accumulate an endless stream of heat, which can cause the body to become unbearably dry, or the five internal organs to be damaged.
But Dongling Yuanyong endured the effects of two "flame" pills, so it was impossible for him to be unharmed!
Xiang Qing didn't understand why Ximen Yourong looked worried, so she said in confusion:
"What's the matter, Your Majesty? I'm worried about you, Miss?"
"You have seen whether something is wrong with me, so why are you worried?"
Ximen Yourong responded casually, but she was secretly worried about Dongling Yuanyong.
"I'm not worried about your health, I'm worried about whether, Miss, your Majesty... has taken you?"
Xiang Qing knew that the rumor in the palace the day before that Dongling Yuanyong and Ximen Yourong had consummated their marriage was just an illusion.
But yesterday was different. Dongling Yuanyong didn't leave Ximen Yourong's dormitory until the afternoon of the next day. She had to worry about whether Ximen Yourong let Dongling Yuanyong "eat" her.
Ximen Yourong was confused because of Xiang Qing's worrying, but she was too lazy to respond. She only ordered:
"Come on, come with me to collect some clean frost."
"What are you doing collecting frost?"
Ximen Yourong didn't get an answer from Ximen Yourong. It wasn't until Ximen Yourong personally prepared a bowl of ice soup and delivered it to the "Longtai Palace" that Xiang Qing knew what Ximen Yourong was going to do.
Dongling Yuanyong looked at the bowl of snow pear ice soup placed in front of him, then raised his eyes to Ximen Yourong and said:
"In this bitterly cold season, the Queen does not bring hot soup, but gives me a bowl of ice soup. Does the Queen want me to be as cold as the Queen?"
Although his mouth was disgusted, the heat in Dongling Yuanyong's abdominal cavity was actually attracted by the ice pear soup with the faint fragrance of plum, which made his mouth wet. He couldn't wait to drink the soup in one gulp.
Ximen Yourong carefully observed Dongling Yuanyong. She saw that except for his complexion, which was a little red, his breath was stable.
But he was obviously running hot, otherwise he wouldn't be wearing such thin clothes, and all the windows in the room were open.
However, there are still memorials under review on his desk, which shows that he can still handle government affairs as usual.
However, this is not normal. How could he not be affected by the "flame" at all?
Ximen Yourong was busy observing Dongling Yuanyong's condition for a while and forgot to reply. Her gaze also made Dongling Yuanyong frown and said:
"Is there something wrong with my face?"
He didn't dislike her looking at him, he was annoyed that her eyes were wrong, as if he was a monkey!
"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I just feel very sorry and don't know what to say."
This time she really felt sorry for him. If he suffered internal injuries due to the "fire", she might have to wear the label of "treason".
Dongling Yuanyong raised his eyebrows and chuckled:
"Did the queen do anything to feel sorry for?"
"Last night... I seemed to have caused trouble to His Majesty. I thought His Majesty would be angry because of me. So I woke up and collected the frost ice from plum blossom stamens from the plum trees to make sour pear ice soup. I hope
Your Majesty, don’t be angry!”
"You are self-aware, and you also know that I am angry because of you." Dongling Yuanyong flashed his eyebrows, and then said indifferently:
"Does the Queen have anything to say about what happened last night?"
He was not in a hurry to find out what was going on with her body, but since she still had the conscience to send him her thoughts, he wanted to find out. After all, she was also his queen!
After being so angry in front of him last night, Ximen Yourong naturally knew that even if he didn't care about her life or death, he would definitely be curious about what happened to her last night.
Regarding the cold poison on her body, there was actually nothing she could not say, so she said frankly:
"The reason why I behaved badly in front of His Majesty last night was because the cold poison in my body broke out."
"What kind of cold poison?" Dongling Yuanyong's eyes darkened, and he did not expect this answer at all.
"When I was twelve years old, I was bitten by a rare "snow snake" in the world. I should have been dead, but I survived. However, my body has been suffering from cold poison since then, and I have suffered from seizures.
It will be more painful sometimes.”
The "Snow Snake" that Ximen Yourong calls "Snow Snake" Dongling Yuanyong once heard his master, the old doctor Gui, mention it. It is a kind of extremely cold poisonous snake that is as red and white as snow and is almost extinct.
Because they are rare in the world, the chance of encountering a "snow snake" is very slim.
"Snow snakes" only appear in remote mountains and old forests where there are few people, and when everything is covered with heavy snow.
Dongling Yuanyong had to wonder how she could be injured by that rare poison, so he looked at her and asked:
"Snow snakes usually hide in uninhabited areas. Some people go out to look for them, but they haven't found them for decades. But a woman like you who lives in a deep house has been bitten by a snow snake. This is a bit unbelievable.
?”
The person Dongling Yuanyong said spent decades looking for the "snow snake" was an old ghost doctor.
The old medical ghost is not only an expert in treating poisons, but he also possesses supreme martial arts skills.
However, Dongling Yuanyong did not learn medical skills from the old ghost doctor Guijing. He only learned the martial arts from the old ghost doctor.
For more than ten years, the old ghost doctor has disappeared for a period of time every winter to look for "snow snakes". Therefore, Dongling Yuanyong is no stranger to "snow snakes".
Ximen Yourong was a little surprised that Dongling Yuanyong knew about the poison "snow snake", but she didn't think much about it, and she explained truthfully:
"When I was twelve years old, I fell ill and was sent by Mistress Ximen to the "Shengci'an" on the mountain outside the city to recuperate. It happened to be winter when I was sent to the mountain. Although it is a bit incredible, in short, I just came with the "Snow Snake"
It was an unbelievable meeting, so... I have been bitten by the cold poison."
It was rare for Ximen Yourong to smile lightly in front of Dongling Yuanyong, as if her cold poison didn't matter.
Dongling Yuanyong actually doesn't know how deadly the "snow snake" poison is, but at least it's not a poison that can be easily cured.
Moreover, he had seen the coldness on Ximen Yourong's body with his own eyes, and it was indeed something extraordinary.
"The venom of the snow snake is deadly. How did you survive?"
Seeing Ximen Yourong's calm face, Dongling Yuanyong unknowingly became more and more curious about how she survived the crisis.
"A doctor who stayed at Shengci'an saved me, but she could only save my life and could not completely detoxify me."
The person who saved Ximen Yourong back then was her master ~ Granny Youkong.
If there was no Granny Youkong, Ximen Yourong would no longer exist in this world!
