Chapter 109 Detoxification
After taking the decoction for three days, when the poison in Ji Yucang's body began to attack on the last night, Shen Ning made him take the last bowl of antidote and gave him acupuncture to help him force out the toxins in his body.
From decocting the medicine in the afternoon to taking blood and then giving acupuncture, Shen Ning was busy for more than two hours. When Ji Yucang spat out a mouthful of black blood and lay weakly on the bed, Shen Ning's face was as pale as paper, and the whole person looked weaker than Ji Yucang.
Raising her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, Shen Ning gently closed her eyes and barely stood up by holding the bedpost.
It felt like thousands of insects were biting her internal organs, and the pain made her eyes black.
Shen Ning almost couldn't bear it. She was gritting her teeth to endure the severe pain, but in the end she found that the severe pain that was stronger than the other wave had no tendency to stop.
A pair of strong arms lifted her up and laid her flat on the bed. Shen Ning was sweating profusely, but before she could react, her lips felt warm, and then a bloody smell filled her mouth.
She opened her eyes, and Ji Yucang looked at her with worry on his face. His finger was always on his lips, and the blood from his fingertips dripped into her mouth.
Shen Ning frowned: "What are you doing?"
"I heard that the poison is bloodthirsty, and only blood can appease them." Ji Yucang stared at Shen Ning's eyes nervously, "Is it better?"
Shen Ning didn't speak, her face was pale, and she felt a little nauseous.
"I know the taste of blood is bad, you just bear with it." Ji Yucang quickly spoke to comfort her, "I have asked a doctor to come."
Shen Ning closed her eyes, enduring the severe pain of biting in her body, and even the footsteps coming from outside could not be heard clearly.
"Your Majesty."
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and an old doctor with a white beard came in with a medicine box and hurried to the bed: "The princess was poisoned by the poison?"
Ji Yucang pursed his lips: "She is detoxifying for me."
The old doctor was surprised for a moment, and then moved: "The princess is really righteous."
Righteousness?
Ji Yucang thought of the deal Shen Ning had mentioned more than once, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
The old doctor was a genius doctor invited by Xie Tinglan from another place for Ji Yucang. He had outstanding medical skills and had been trying to find a way to cure the poison in Ji Yucang's body for more than half a year.
He knew that the poison was not impossible to cure, but it was difficult to cure it with medicine. In addition to requiring the woman to be willing, she also had to be able to withstand the severe pain when the poison attacked and blood was taken. Ordinary women could not do it at all.
Unexpectedly...
The old doctor carefully felt Shen Ning's pulse, his face solemn: "The princess is stronger than ordinary women, but this time she still lost a lot of vitality, and she needs to rest for at least two months."
Ji Yucang asked: "How do you need to replenish it?"
"I'll prescribe a prescription." The old doctor walked aside, and Ling Feng immediately led him to the table to sit down, and brought paper and pen.
The old doctor dipped the ink and wrote the prescription carefully.
Ji Yucang has been sitting on the edge of the bed, his eyes never leaving Shen Ning, only to see Shen Ning open her eyes, frowning: "Why are you so nervous?"
Ji Yucang held her hand and quietly placed it on his chest: "Feel it."
Shen Ning was slightly startled, and where her palm was close, she could feel her heartbeat was a little abnormal.
Her eyes were subtle and strange: "How could the regent be frightened by such a scene and his heartbeat speed up?"
"I'm worried about you." Ji Yucang's voice was low, with a little lingering fear and uneasiness, "Shen Ning, people can't help but be contradictory. They want to live a hundred years and grow old with the person they like, but they are also worried that they will shorten the other person's lifespan..."
"It doesn't matter to me whether I live a long life or not." Shen Ning smiled weakly and palely, "Just make sure that every day of my life is meaningful."
Ji Yucang was silent for a moment, and nodded slowly: "You are right."
"Your Highness." The old doctor turned around and handed the written prescription to Ji Yucang, "Follow this prescription once a day, warm up the body, and the rest of the diet is the same as usual. Don't take any tonics."
Ji Yucang took the prescription and asked, "When can the poison be drawn out?"
"It's time to wait until the body recovers its vitality." The old doctor glanced at Shen Ning lying on the bed, "Since the princess knows how to feed the Gu, she should also know how to drive it away."
Shen Ning hummed, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
The old doctor quickly said goodbye and left.
Ji Yucang handed the prescription to Ling Feng, "Go buy the medicine according to the prescription. If there is any in the palace, take it out of the warehouse. If there is none, go out and buy it. No matter how much money it costs, you must get it no matter how hard it is to get it."
Ling Feng frowned, "Your Highness, the medicine prescribed by the doctor is all ordinary tonics. It's a bit expensive, but it's easy to buy and doesn't require too much effort."
Ji Yucang looked at him expressionlessly, and Ling Feng's face tightened. He took the prescription and said goodbye and left.
The moment the door was closed, the whole room fell silent.
"Do you want to go back to Jinlin Courtyard?" Ji Yucang turned his head and looked at the room. There were still blood stains on the floor tiles at the head of the bed. The strong smell of blood had not yet dissipated, making people feel that the air in the room was not clean.
Shen Ning did not speak immediately. The severe pain in her body had eased a little bit. This was the first time she experienced this feeling. Compared with the tortures she had suffered before, it seemed nothing.
But the pain in the internal organs was a little different from the external injuries.
But after the pain faded, a strong sense of fatigue swept over, making her eyelids heavy and she couldn't help closing her eyes.
"... Let me sleep for a while." Shen Ning closed her eyes and said so, her voice was almost weak, "I'll be fine after a while."
"Okay." Ji Yucang tucked the corners of the quilt for her, and his eyes fell on her pale and weak face, his eyes full of heartache and pity.
He pulled a chair and sat down, holding her hand, and just looked at her, as if he could never see enough.
Li'er...
Ji Yucang held her hand and put it to his lips and kissed it softly. The obsession that had been pressed in his heart for many years burst out and could no longer be concealed.
Shen Ning slept for three hours. She was groggy, half asleep and half awake. She thought she was awake, but she felt like she was being pressed into a dream by a pair of big hands.
Outside the dream, there were a pair of eyes locked on her face, with such sad and sad eyes, and it was as if someone vaguely heard someone saying in her ears that as long as she could survive, they would not hesitate to lose her life or have no heirs.
Loss of longevity...
No heir...
The sweat on Shen Ning's body was layer upon layer, soaking through several layers of clothes. Her dreams kept coming back and forth, but she couldn't always see them clearly.
When I actually woke up, it was already midnight.
Shen Ning opened her eyes. The light in front of her eyes was dim and soft, not dazzling. She subconsciously raised her hands to cover her eyes, and then slowly opened her eyes again.
"Wake up." A relieved voice came from the side, with a bit of uneasiness about the aftermath of the disaster, "Did you have a nightmare? I see that your face has not been very good, and you can't wake up even if you call..."
Shen Ning turned her head and met a pair of frightened eyes, and couldn't help but be startled.
To be honest, this was the first time she had seen him look like this since she married Ji Yucang. He was no longer as calm and calm as before, nor was he the invincible and powerful person in the rumors. Don't let anyone get close to you.
Just like an ordinary person, he has insecurities and fears, weaknesses and weaknesses.
So real, flesh and blood.
