"I'll go with you."
"No, you have to rest here well and don't run around. If I come back later and don't see you lying in bed, you're finished." Xiao Yuge naturally wouldn't let him follow.
"When you come back later, do you see me lying obediently in bed, so you reward me" Qian Tingxuan had a wicked grin on his face, obviously plotting something mischievous.
"Hmm." Xiao Yuge really wanted to knock out his front teeth and stop him from smiling like that, but for now, she had to keep him calm. Her conversation with her senior brother later couldn't be overheard by him.
"Alright, I'll listen to the young mistress." Qian Tingxuan unexpectedly became obedient.
Xiao Yuge didn't get angry, she just smiled at him, then turned and walked out of the courtyard.
After Xiao Yuge left, Qian Tingxuan finally cleared his throat: "Ming Yang!"
"Grandpa!" Mingyang responded.
"What's the situation outside the city now" Qian TingXuan's voice was icy cold at this time, completely devoid of the tenderness he had shown in front of Xiao Yuge just now.
"One hundred thousand soldiers had secretly set up camp thirty miles outside the city. Even the guards at both the east and west gates had been repositioned, and those inside the city were also on high alert."
Thousand Thunder Pavilion let out a cold snort: "One hundred thousand troops Seems like he's emptied his entire nest this time, even entering the city himself. He must be planning an inside and outside attack. I underestimated him. He's been lurking for so long, he actually dares to go all out!"
Immediately arrange: "Inform our people to deploy as quickly as possible, ensuring that we control the 100,000 troops outside the city when they start a rebellion. Leave the forces within the city to the Emperor's Imperial Army. Once the situation is under control, our people will immediately withdraw, making sure not to arouse suspicion!"
"Yes!"
"These few days, the capital will be very chaotic, so make sure to protect the princess well!" Qian Tingxuan's only worry now is Xiaoger, but she happens to be a troublesome little one.
“I’ve already arranged for the Shadow Guards to secretly protect the Princess!” Ming Yang was also quite helpless. If this princess were an ordinary person, it wouldn’t be a problem. But this princess not only had excellent martial arts skills but was also the mistress of the Frost and Snow Pavilion. Wanting her to obediently stay within the protection circle was truly a hardship for those Shadow Guard brothers.
"This king is going to the palace for a while. When the princess arrives, tell her to wait here for this king's return. If she refuses, you will personally send her back to Ruyi Pavilion." After Qian Tingxuan changed his clothes, he rushed out.
Wind Listening Courtyard.
"Senior brother!" Xiao Yuge poked her head out from the doorway, watching He Ming who was busy.
"Little junior sister, where did you go just now" Hè Míng thought the king would keep her there for a long time, but he didn't expect her to appear so quickly.
"Brother, I have something important to tell you. Don't rush off just yet," Xiao Yu Ge said as she closed the courtyard gate.
"So mysterious, it seems to be a very important matter." He put down what he was holding, brushed the dust off his hands, and sat down at the stone table. He took the flower tea she offered him and sipped it lightly: "Go on, what is it"
"You said before that Qian Tingxuan had a blood gourd, also called a mother-child gourd, on him. As long as you find the mother gourd, you can remove the curse poison from him, right" Xiao Yuge was a little excited, and her speech was faster than usual.
“That’s right. The mother gu is nurtured with the heart's blood of the person who planted it, as long as the planter is unharmed, the poisoned person will not be in immediate danger. Of course, over time, both sides will suffer damage. This Gu poison is insidious, but it harms eight hundred of oneself for every thousand enemies, so ordinary people wouldn’t cultivate this kind of Gu poison, unless……”
Unless that person does not want the person being poisoned to die so quickly, and wants to use their own life to restrain the person being poisoned.
"Little junior sister, how did you know" He was shocked. Although he knew about this kind of poison, after years of traveling all over Miaojiang, he had never found an antidote for the Mother-Daughter Gu.
"Because, I seem to already know who poisoned Qianting Xuan." Xiao Yuge genuinely felt sorry for Qianting Xuan. If he knew that the person who wanted him dead was actually his own close relative, how heartbroken would he be
"Who is it" He was so nervous that he almost spilled the tea in his hand. After all, Qian Tingxuan and he were sworn brothers; he couldn't save Qian Tingxuan, and he had always felt guilty. He had even doubted his own medical skills once. Now that he heard there was a hope to cure his friend's poison, how could he not be excited
"Yes... It's the Empress Dowager!"
When Xiao Yu Ge slowly uttered the word "Empress Dowager," He Ming's teacup instantly slipped from his grasp, and with great effort he managed to steady it. "Little sister, this isn't a joke, you're serious"
It is known that Qian Tingxuan always cared about the mother-and-child relationship with the empress dowager. If what the little junior sister said is true, how could Qian Tingxuan accept it.
After the banquet, the Dowager Empress summoned me to Shoukang Palace. I found it strange at the time; although her health was clearly not good, she refused to summon the imperial physician. She even almost fell, and only then did I accidentally grasp her pulse. That's when I realized something was amiss.
"But, little junior sister, how can you prove that the mother gu is on Empress Dowager" He still couldn't believe it.
"When the Empress Dowager fell ill, her body felt like it was plunged into ice, her heart ached as if being squeezed, and her pulse throbbed like ants were gnawing at her. It was at that very moment when I left Shoukang Palace that Qian Ting Xuan also started to act up. I remember you, senior brother, saying that the mother Gu is nourished by the host's blood every day, especially the blood from their heart. This would gradually cause the host to become thinner and weaker. When the blood supply from the heart becomes insufficient, the mother Gu will retaliate. Is this correct or not"
"Indeed!" Crane Ming nodded. "Once the heart-blood supply to the mother vessel is stopped, the mother vessel will wither and die. Since mother and child are connected, the son vessel, sensing its mother's demise, must become agitated and restless. At that time, His Royal Highness will be in peril!"
"You said the most direct way was to take out the mother gourd, grind it into powder and have Qian Tingxuan ingest it. That would remove the son gourd from him. Is it still in time if we do it now"
"He's here on time, but..." He murmured, his brows furrowed in thought, as if struggling to find the right words.
"Senior brother, since we've made it in time, what are we waiting for."
"Little junior sister, do you know that if the inner vessel is taken out, then the Empress Dowager would surely die..."
"What" This was something Xiao Yuge hadn't expected: "Isn't it enough to just take out the mother zong How could the Empress Dowager not survive"
“For so many years, the mother talisman has long been integrated with her. If the mother talisman perished, she would inevitably cease to exist, and conversely, if she died, the mother talisman would also perish!” He Crane’s tone was heavy with sorrow. If Qian Ting Xuan knew that his life depended on sacrificing his mother’s talisman, he certainly wouldn't agree.and gently stroked her cheek. Something was wrong with her expression.Xiao Yu sang suddenly hugged him around the neck, burying her face deeply into his chest. There were some things she didn't know h...
