Dongling Yuanyong had many things to deal with due to the assassination of Xiahou Chunyan, so he had no time to go to Lengyue Palace last night.
When he came to Lengyue Palace again, Ximen Yourong went out to meet him. Instead of entering the room, he took her to the back hall for a walk.
Coming to a comfortable place, Dongling Yuanyong opened his mouth and said:
"You should already know that Xiahou Chunyan was assassinated last night, right?"
"Well, Eunuch Cao had someone come over last night to briefly explain the situation."
"But he is attentive!"
It seems that Eunuch Cao knew that he would be busy with many things, so he made the decision and asked someone to inform Ximen Yourong first.
Ximen Yourong looked at his face, which was obviously unable to relax. She came closer and raised her hand to rub his tight eyebrows with her ten fingers, then rubbed his temples on both sides and said:
"Your Majesty, you stayed up late last night, and you don't look good." His face was not only bad, but even a little pale, like someone who had suffered internal injuries.
He looked fine yesterday. With his strong body, he didn't look weak just because he stayed up late!
Dongling Yuanyong grabbed her hand and looked at her, but he did not answer her concern, but continued:
"Xiahou Chunyan was not only injured, he was also poisoned... If it cannot be cured, he will definitely die. If anything happens to him... the relationship between Dacheng and Xiahou will definitely be in danger, and even lead to a war!"
“Can’t the poison that Prince Xiahou has been poisoned be cured?”
"Maybe someone can figure it out."
"Maybe?" She didn't quite understand.
"Mr. Ai said that there used to be a female doctor in a village outside the city who had superb medical skills and was good at detoxifying. However, for some reason, the female doctor disappeared in the past year."
Dongling Yuanyong looked deeply into her face with his deep eyes, as if he wanted to see something different.
However, Ximen Yourong's expression remained as usual, and she said softly:
"Perhaps the female doctor is just a medical practitioner who treats wherever she goes, and her final destination is uncertain!"
"That village is called "Fengwu Village". According to the villagers there, when the female doctor wearing a gauze hat first started to set up a stall to practice medicine, she must have been a young woman of fifteen or sixteen years old. She was always accompanied by someone who followed her.
A book boy of about the same age. Based on time, he seems to be about the same age as you. Haven't you heard of such a recognizable master and servant?"
"I know about Fengwu Village, because that village is at the foot of the mountain where I lived in Shengci'an. But when I lived in Shengci'an, I almost never went down the mountain, so I may have heard about the female doctor.
, but I didn’t pay special attention to it.”
Ximen Yourong showed a calm and faint smile, so that Dongling Yuanyong could not see anything strange about her at all.
When Wuhen returned from a trip to Fengwu Village, he also learned that Fengwu Village was not far from Shengci'an, so he made a bold guess in his mind. He suspected that Ximen Yourong was the female doctor.
Because there are too many similarities, not only because of her age, but the time when the female doctor disappeared happened to be the time when Ximen Yourong was taken back to Ximen Mansion, and then she entered the palace.
In terms of time, everything was just right, and he had already suspected that she knew medicine. But now, he was not so sure that his guess was right.
If she was the female doctor, he had already told her that if Xiahou Chunyan's poison was not cured, he would be in great trouble.
If her heart was with him, she should know that he needed her help at this time.
But her words and actions seemed to prove that she had nothing to do with the female doctor, which only meant that she either really had nothing to do with him, or she was unwilling to help him.
If she is not the female doctor, then he has nothing to say, but if she is but does not intend to solve the urgent problem for him, then he has to wonder... is her heart really with him?
A possibility that he absolutely could not accept flashed through Dongling Yuanyong's heart reluctantly, but Ximen Yourong didn't admit that she knew medicine, so he seemed to have nothing to say.
Ximen Yourong saw the tension in his expression, and she asked softly:
"Isn't it possible that even Doctor Ai can't do anything about the poison in Prince Xiahou?"
"If Dr. Ai can figure it out, why should I go to all the trouble of asking people to find that female doctor?" Dongling Yuanyong paid attention to her expression again and said:
"But maybe as you said, she is a medical practitioner with no fixed foothold. Even if she can be found, Xiahou Chunyan may not have time to wait for her to detoxify."
Ximen Yourong listened quietly, but after that, she didn’t say anything or ask any more questions...!
Perhaps because the result was not as expected, Dongling Yuanyong left Lengyue Palace quickly. After all, he really didn't have time for leisure now.
After he left, Ximen Yourong dropped the pretense of indifference. She dismissed the others, and then asked Xiang Qing:
"Have you heard about what kind of poison Prince Xiahou was poisoned with?"
"It's said to be a "camel bell", and it's already poisonous. I heard that His Majesty has ordered a large reward to be found to find someone who can detoxify it, but no one dares to try it yet."
Xiahou Chunyan's poisoning was no longer a secret in the Imperial City, but Xiang Qing had just learned about the general situation, and Ximen Yourong happened to ask about it.
"Camel bell...?" Ximen Yourong frowned slightly: "If the camel bell had been poisoned, how could Prince Xiahou wait until now without causing any trouble?"
Ximen has the true story of Granny Rong Youkong, and it is easy to cure the poisons in the world.
So far, the poison that Grandma Youkong can detoxify can also be detoxified by Ximen Yourong.
Among them, "camel bells" happened to be the one she could detoxify. However, it is easy to detoxify "camel bells" that are not poisonous. Once poisonous, even if it can be detoxified, it is a dangerous situation. Not many people in the world can detoxify "camel bells" after poisoning.
"!
In this way, it seemed that it was impossible for her to stay away. Dongling Yuanyong had just come here specifically to mention Fengwu Village to her, and she didn't know what he was implying.
It's just that she didn't want to make her life more complicated at that moment, so she just escaped Dongling Yuanyong's temptation.
But now, if she continues to pretend that the matter has nothing to do with her, there will be an irreversible estrangement between Dongling Yuanyong and her. Not to mention, the turmoil caused by Dacheng and Xiahou is the most serious.
After thinking for a moment, Ximen Yourong sighed and told Xiang Qing:
"Call General Chu!"
Xiang Qing was stunned for a moment: "Why are you looking for him suddenly?"
"Leave the palace."
"Leaving the palace...my queen, do you plan to...?"
"There's no time, go quickly!"
Xiang Qing also knew that the situation was urgent, so she hurried out without asking any more questions...!
Soon after, an ordinary-looking carriage left the palace gate at high speed and headed west of the city with the permission of Chu Hengye himself.
An hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace where Xiahou Chunyan lived. The plainclothes guard driving the carriage jumped out of the carriage and bowed slightly to greet a woman wearing a white gauze hat who got off the carriage.
Then, she walked up to the palace guards and said that she could cure the poison in Prince Xiahou.
The guard did not dare to neglect and ran to announce the situation. Soon, the woman was respectfully led into the palace.
After seeing Xiahou Chunyan lying unconscious on the bed, the woman stepped forward without saying hello to anyone.
However, before she could get close to Xiahou Chunyan, she was stopped by King Xiaoyun who pulled out the long sword with a bang and yelled:
"How presumptuous. Who allowed you to get close to my imperial brother without permission?"
"If the God of Death comes to take the life of Prince Xiahou, do I need permission?"
The woman spoke softly. It didn't sound shocking, but it shocked the people in the room.
Especially Doctor Ai, but what shocked him was not what the woman said, but the woman's voice, because it was a familiar voice to him.
Doctor Ai blinked his incredible old eyes and looked at the woman in pale white clothes whose face could not be clearly seen, but he did not ask anything.
However, Dr. Ai immediately explained to King Xiaoyun:
"Xiaoyun Wang Rongzhen, I am afraid this is the female doctor who is good at detoxification that I mentioned. Please don't stop me, Xiaoyun Wang...!"
"I don't mean to stop her. She said she can detoxify her, but how do I know if she is here to detoxify her or to assassinate my royal brother a second time? I have to confirm whether she is a bad person, right?"
In fact, King Xiaoyun is not really looking for trouble. Since Xiahou Chunyan was injured and poisoned, he has become more sensitive.
So a stranger suddenly came and said he was here to detoxify, but there was no guarantee that he was here to kill someone, so there was nothing wrong with him being more defensive.
Before Doctor Ai could speak, the woman spoke first:
"Prince Xiahou's life is hanging by a thread right now. If he doesn't detoxify today, he will die tomorrow at the latest. If I want to harm Prince Xiahou, King Xiaoyun feels that I have to risk my own life in exchange for Prince Xiahou's early death.
time?"
After hearing what she said, King Xiaoyun's concerns suddenly disappeared.
What this woman said is right. His emperor brother only has one breath left. If he doesn't do something, he will die sooner or later. It's better to let this woman see his emperor brother's condition quickly. Maybe she can really save his emperor.
Brother, maybe if it fails, he will just settle the score with her!
When King Xiaoyun thought about it, his handsome and fair face twisted before he put away his sword and said:
"Then you must save my royal brother, otherwise I...!"
The female doctor didn't even listen to King Xiaoyun's words before she stepped over and sat next to Xiahou Chunyan and took his pulse... After a while, she opened the quilt covering Xiahou Chunyan and demanded:
"I need a shot!"
Doctor Ai immediately understood what she meant. He quickly sent his own medical tools and placed them where the female doctor could easily use them.
The female doctor untied Xiahou Chunyan's clothes to expose his chest. She first pressed Xiahou Chunyan's heart, which was already faintly black, and then turned around and picked up the sleeve of her right hand with one hand and reached out to pick up the shortest silver wire.
Skillfully inserting the needle into Xiahou Chunyan's chest...!
Doctor Ai accidentally saw a little scar on the female doctor's arm, and he finally confirmed that the female doctor in front of him was really someone he knew!
Seeing the female doctor's precise acupuncture technique, Doctor Ai sighed repeatedly in his heart, her medical skills were far better than he imagined!
Because the acupuncture technique used by the female doctor now, if he guessed correctly, is a unique skill - ink needle acupuncture!
The medical skills of those who can perform this acupuncture technique can be said to be at the pinnacle.
Because this kind of acupuncture is extremely difficult, and more importantly, it has almost been lost. I’m afraid not many people have seen it now, and it is even more difficult to learn it than to reach heaven!
Previously, when Ximen Yourong was suffering from a poisonous disease, Dr. Ai had no choice but to claim that he had saved her with the ink-marking acupuncture technique. However, in reality, the doctor Ai only knew the benefits of the ink-marking acupuncture, but he did not know how to use it!
