Mu Yangling carried Qi Xiuyuan into the house and placed him on the bed. Yuan Hui immediately took his place and grabbed Qi Xiuyuan to take his pulse. Right away, he got someone to retrieve the silver needles to stop the poison in his body from spreading.
Seeing that he was calm, Mu Yangling couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
She retreated to leave more space for them.
On the other hand, Rong Xuan stayed behind to help Yuan Hui. After Yuan Hui wrote the prescription, he even personally brought people to the storeroom to look for medicine and personally guarded the medicinal furnace. From the beginning to the end, he didn’t rely on anyone.
Seeing his situation, Fan Zijin’s expression turned even uglier. He grabbed Mu Yangling and asked, “Was there a spy beside Eldest Cousin?”
Mu Yangling nodded.
“Who is it?” Fan Zijin asked through gritted teeth.
Mu Yangling shook her head. “We’ll talk about the details when Big Brother Qi wakes up.” Mu Yangling paused before continuing, “I’m going to the military camp later. Do you want to stay or come with me?”
Fan Zijin frowned. “Why are you going to the military camp? Also, why are you and Brother Rong the only ones escorting Eldest Cousin back? Where’s
Haoran?”
“He’s still in the forest.” Mu Yangling sighed. “We were able to escape because he lured the enemy away and tore a gap for us. Now that he’s trapped in the forest, I have to bring people to reinforce him.”
Fan Zijin’s face turned slightly pale. “Haoran is still in the forest?”
Mu Yangling nodded.
“How many people does he have with him?”
“He only has 30 men with him, but we didn’t lose any of the too people we brought with us. They’re just scattered. He should have no problem gathering them.”
Fan Zijin heaved a sigh of relief. No longer in a hurry, he sat on the chair in a daze.
When Li Jinghua heard this, she could not help but feel anxious. However, seeing that the two of them were sitting peacefully, she hurriedly said, “Zijin, let’s get someone to save Fourth Brother first. I’ll watch over Master.” Fan Zijin comforted her with a smile. “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. Haoran will be fine. Considering that the forest is so big, he has the ability to save himself. We’ll wait to hear about Eldest Cousin’s condition before leaving. This way, when we see Haoran, we can comfort him and ease his anxiety.”
Mu Yangling nodded. “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. Qi Haoran will be fine.” The two of them were full of confidence in Qi Haoran. In such a huge forest, not to mention hiding too people, even if they left behind 1,000 people, they would not be able to find them. Anyway, since Big Brother Qi had already been rescued, how could Qi Haoran not escape?
Previously, they were restrained because Qi Xiuyuan was poisoned and injured. They didn’t have time to take a detour. Otherwise, they would have been able to shake the enemy off easily.
The two of them sat on the chairs in a daze and looked at the basins of black blood in the room. Seeing this, Li Jinghua did not have the energy to care about anything else. Instead, she focused on the situation in the room.
On the other hand, Wen Cui was considerate. Seeing that Mu Yangling’s face was dirty and her clothes and hands were covered in blood, she got someone to go to the kitchen to prepare hot water in the kitchen. Then, she placed a plate of snacks beside Mu Yangling’s hand and said in a low voice, “Miss Mu, eat something.”
Mu Yangling came back to her senses and remembered that she seemed to have missed lunch and dinner. She nodded at Wen Cui and ate two snacks.
In the room, Rong Xuan was sweating profusely as he watched Yuan Hui bleed Qi Xiuyuan, feeling terrified. How could anyone still be alive after bleeding so much?
Finally, just as Rong Xuan’s vision darkened, the blood dripping from Qi Xiuyuan’s fingers was no longer black.
Yuan Hui immediately stopped the bleeding and injected him with a few more needles. He felt his pulse and heaved a sigh of relief. “He’s saved. Where’s the medicine?”
Rong Xuan quickly served the medicine and poured it down Qi Xiuyuan’s throat.
Yuan Hui shook his head secretly. “Although the poison has been cured, there’s still some left in his body. It will definitely damage his health in the future. However, he can’t bleed anymore now. And it’ll be difficult to detoxify the poison in the future…”
Feeling that it was a pity, there was some pain in Yuan Hui’s eyes. Was such a brilliant ruler fated to live a short life?
Rong Xuan stared blankly at Qi Xiuyuan, who was sleeping on the bed with a pale face. Yuan Hui shook his head and sighed before turning around to leave. When Li Jinghua saw them, she immediately surrounded them and asked anxiously, “Master, how’s the general?”
Mu Yangling and Fan Zijin also stood up and looked at him. Yuan Hui repeated his words. In short, he was fine for the time being, but it would affect his lifespan.
Li Jinghua’s face turned slightly pale. Forcing a smile, she said, “It’s already very good that he can keep his life.”
“Can’t we detoxify the poison after Big Brother Qi recuperates?
“By then, the poison will have already penetrated deep into his bone marrow and can’t be expelled. Now, we can counter it with medicine, but the medicinal effect is too strong. Considering he has just bled so much, he definitely won’t be able to withstand it,” Yuan Hui explained.
“What about medicinal cuisine?” Mu Yangling looked at him with bright eyes and stared at him intently. “Since the poison will have already penetrated deep into the bone marrow, let’s force it out bit by bit. The medicinal properties of the food can also be integrated into the blood in the end. Blood is everywhere. If it doesn’t work in one day, then do it for one year. If not one year, then ten years. He can detoxify the poison bit by bit every year. Will that work?” Yuan Hui was about to say that every medicine had its side effects when he was stared at by Mu Yangling. Sizing Mu Yangling up, he smiled inexplicably. “If it’s Miss Mu, it might work.”
The three of them frowned together. Mu Yangling looked at Yuan Hui strangely and asked, “Master, what do you mean?”
Yuan Hui twirled the bodhi in his hand and smiled. “Qi Haoran is Qi Xiuyuan’s lucky star, and you’re Qi Haoran’s lucky star. Since Miss Mu suggested using medicinal cuisine, we might be able to give it a try. I wonder if Miss Mu has any good candidates in mind.”
Stunned, Mu Yangling asked, “Since Master Yuan Hui’s medical skills are so brilliant, don’t you have a prescription?”
Yuan Hui shook his head and replied, “The prescriptions I have are useless in this scenario. Moreover, if one takes too much of it, it will accumulate poison.” Mu Yangling frowned. Other than Yuan Hui, the only other physician she knew was Pang Kongqing. Thinking about how Pang Kongqing had treated her younger brother’s many years of fetal illness and weak body, he might have a solution.
Just as Mu Yangling was about to speak, Rong Xuan came out of the house with a dark expression. He nodded slightly at everyone and said, “General’s breath has stabilized and he’s out of danger.”
He looked at Mu Yangling and said, “Miss Mu, I’ll have to trouble you to make a trip to where Little General is and fetch him out.
“Brother Rong, do you know who the spy is?”
Rong Xuan’s eyes flashed with hostility as he shook his head. “I don’t know, but I have a rough idea. Miss Mu, don’t worry. While you’re sending troops, he won’t be able to come into contact with military power.”
-What about Fuping County?” Mu Yangling asked. The Jin soldiers had already entered Fuping County, so it was very easy for them to launch a war against Fuping County. However, Qi Xiuyuan was injured now, and what they had done in the bustling city this afternoon had probably already made the people outside guess what was going on. Thus, it would be very disadvantageous for them should the Jin soldiers attack now.
“That’s why Little General has to come back as soon as possible.” Rong Xuan looked at Mu Yangling seriously and said solemnly, “Only Little General can take the General’s place and command all the assistant commanders.” Mu Yangling’s expression turned solemn as she said, “Don’t worry, Brother Rong. I’ll definitely bring him out as soon as possible. Send out the order to prepare for battle and deploy half of the 4th and 5th Division’s troops to Golden Water Town. We’ll head straight for Golden Water Town as soon as we come out..”
