Chapter 988 [Fragrant Honey: Zhou Shengru Gu 14]
Nan Xiao, Youyou entered the palace and came to the Zichen Hall. Youyou saw Menglan was radiant and seemed to be living a very comfortable life, which finally put Youyou at ease.
Meng Lan was overjoyed to see Youyou return. She hurried forward, held Youyou's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "Sister Lin, you are finally back! I missed you so much! Will you not leave this time?"
Youyou smiled slightly and replied gently: "Yes, I won't leave this time."
Seeing this, Xiao Yan on the side interrupted and said, "Youyou, you are not young anymore, isn't it time to consider getting married?"
When Youyou heard this, her heart tightened. The words of refusal that she wanted to say came to her lips, but she suddenly felt her throat tighten, and a fishy and sweet taste rushed up her throat. She couldn't help coughing.
As he coughed, a mouthful of black blood suddenly spurted out of Youyou's mouth, splashing onto the ground, forming a shocking pool of blood.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan's face turned pale instantly, and he shouted, "Quick! Go call the imperial physician!"
Meng Lan was also frightened when she saw this. She hurriedly supported Youyou and asked anxiously, "Sister Lin, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly vomit blood? And the blood is black. Are you poisoned?"
Youyou's face became paler and paler. She shook her head with difficulty and said weakly, "No need to call the imperial physician. I know my own body well. This poison... cannot be cured."
Xiao Yan's eyes widened, looking at Youyou in disbelief. He said firmly, "Impossible! I'll call all the doctors here right now, and they will definitely cure you!"
Not long after, all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital came in a hurry. They all looked solemn and took turns to feel Youyou's pulse. However, after they felt the pulse, they all shook their heads, indicating that they were powerless.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan's face darkened and he said sternly: "If I can't cure the princess, you will all be buried with me!"
The head of the Imperial Hospital stepped forward tremblingly and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The poison that the princess has been poisoned with has already invaded her internal organs. It is really difficult to cure her. Moreover, the princess has consumed too much internal energy before, which undoubtedly accelerated the onset of the poison. In my opinion, the princess may only have about a month left. All I can do is to try my best to maintain the princess' life, at most extending it for another half a month. For the rest, I have really tried my best."
Xiao Yan frowned, obviously not satisfied with the result. He thought for a moment and said, "Since the imperial doctors in the palace are helpless, I will send people to find famous doctors among the people. Maybe someone can cure the princess's illness."
However, Youyou waved his hand and said, "Brother, don't worry so much. I know my physical condition best. If this poison can be cured, I would have found a way to cure it myself. Besides, when it comes to medical skills, I'm afraid no one can compare to me. Even I can't cure this poison, let alone others."
"You are so young, how come you only have a month left? Where have you been? Who poisoned you?" Xiao Yan's face was full of astonishment and his voice was trembling. He really couldn't accept this cruel fact.
Youyou's face was pale, and her lips were bloodless. She said slowly, "I went to the Black Territory."
"What?" Xiao Yan screamed as if struck by lightning, "You actually went to the Black Region? That place is a life-threatening place! Do you know that no one can come out alive after going there?" He widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
Youyou's eyes dimmed a little, and she said softly: "Brother, I know it's dangerous there, but I have to go."
Xiao Yan looked at Youyou, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart. He sighed, waved his hand and said to the imperial doctors, "You can go down first."
The imperial doctors stood up and left in a hurry as if they had been pardoned.
Xiao Yan and You You were the only ones left in the room, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
"For Zhou Shengchen?" Xiao Yan was silent for a moment and suddenly asked.
Youyou nodded slightly. She knew that she couldn't hide her thoughts from her brother, so she simply stopped hiding them.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly and said, "I knew it was like this. Does he know that you saved him?"
Youyou smiled bitterly and replied, "I don't know. I always wear a mask when I practice medicine. No one knows my identity."
Xiao Yan looked at Youyou, feeling distressed and angry. He said, "You too... I really don't know what to say to you."
"I got out alive." Youyou said lightly, as if the life-and-death test she had just experienced was just a trivial farce.
However, Xiao Yan was not fooled by her pretense of being relaxed. He asked seriously, "Just now the imperial physician said that you used your internal energy again?"
Youyou nodded helplessly and explained, "Yes, it is used when giving acupuncture, otherwise the poison cannot be forced out."
Xiao Yan frowned tightly, and he was very worried about Youyou's actions. "What about your own poison? Don't you think about yourself? Zhou Shengchen doesn't know that you saved him."
Youyou smiled and consoled him, "Brother, it's only been a month. I have saved many people over the years. This time his disciple asked me for help, so I can't just not save him. Besides, Zhou Shengchen and I grew up together."
Xiao Yan sighed, still feeling somewhat unwilling, "I'll send a message to Zhou Shengchen. You saved him, you have to let him know."
Youyou waved her hands quickly, "Brother, no need. I am now Princess Zhaoyang, not Divine Doctor Lin. It is better not to say anything."
Seeing that Youyou was determined, Xiao Yan could not force her any further, so he compromised and said, "I won't tell you, but you have to follow the imperial physician for treatment."
Youyou knew that Xiao Yan was doing this for her own good, so she stopped refusing and readily agreed, "Okay."
In the Western Zhou Dynasty, sunlight poured into the room through the window. Zhou Shengchen lay quietly on the bed with his eyes closed. Suddenly, his fingers moved slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing this, everyone around was very excited. Xie Chong walked quickly to the bedside and said with a happy face: "Your Highness, you finally woke up!"
Zhou Shengchen's voice was a little weak. He looked at Xie Chong and said softly, "I'm sorry to have made the military advisor worried."
Feng Qiao quickly handed the Gu Yuan Dan left by You You to Zhou Shengchen and said, "Master, this is what Divine Doctor Lin left before he left. He told you to take one pill a day to help your body recover."
Zhou Shengchen took the Gu Yuan Dan, examined it, and asked, "Okay, but who is this Divine Doctor Lin?"
Feng Qiao explained, "Master, you were poisoned before, and the situation was very critical. We looked everywhere for a way to detoxify, and it happened that Divine Doctor Lin was in Western Zhou, so we asked her for help. Fortunately, Divine Doctor Lin is very skilled in medicine, and Master, you have been detoxified now."
After hearing this, Zhou Shengchen felt a little relieved. He nodded and asked, "Did you thank Divine Doctor Lin properly? By the way, where did Divine Doctor Lin go?"
Xie Chong replied: "She left."
Zhou Shengchen frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Why didn't the military advisor stop her?"
Xie Chong sighed helplessly and said, "We can't stop her. Doctor Lin said she had other things to deal with and insisted on leaving. There was nothing we could do."
