Chapter 199: Undoing the poison
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "That's right."
Most of the poison comes from southern Xinjiang, and no one in Tianshun raises this kind of thing.
She passed the black liquid to Emperor Tianshun and said, "This poison is extremely powerful. If it is not removed now, I am afraid the dragon fetus will be in danger."
hiss······
How does this work?
"Is there any way to cure this poison?"
Shang Ruoyi sighed. Most poisonous insects are easy to cure, but the poison in the queen's body is obviously very tricky.
"The poisonous insect has already awakened as an adult. It is far from being comparable to the poisonous insect in its juvenile stage." Shang Ruoyi held a silver needle in her hand and stabbed it into the queen's wrist. Suddenly, a bulge appeared under the skin of her abdomen.
“What was that just now…”
"That is the awakened poisonous insect." Shang Ruoyi said in a low voice: "When it grows up, it will eat away all the hard work of the Queen."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Although they had heard a lot about the witchcraft in southern Xinjiang, today was the day they were truly enlightened.
It is really hard to imagine how the person who raises the Gu worms puts them into the human body.
"Is there any way to remove the insect?"
"There is a way, but Your Majesty is pregnant now, and the risk is extremely high. If there is any mistake, both Your Majesty and the dragon baby in your belly will be in danger."
After hearing her words, even Emperor Tianshun was a little undecided.
At this moment, the queen's abdomen bulged again.
"It's moving! The poisonous insect is moving again!" Emperor Tianshun said loudly.
Shang Ruoyi looked at the bulge and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, this is fetal movement."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianshun's old face turned red and he smiled awkwardly.
Shang Ruoyi came to the queen's bed again, picked up the silver needle and pricked her wrist, and the poisonous insect moved a few times.
She had thought about sealing the poisonous insect with a silver needle and then cutting open the skin to remove it. However, the queen was pregnant now and her belly was bulging. The poisonous insect was located relatively close to the fetus, so cutting open the skin would be too risky.
But is there any way to get it out of its current position?
Spiritual spring water!
A light bulb went off in Shang Ruoyi's mind.
Use the spiritual spring water to lure out the poisonous insect.
The poisonous insect grows in the queen's flesh and blood and is extremely sensitive to any smell from any part of her body.
Even ferocious beasts like lions and tigers have no resistance to the spiritual spring water, let alone tiny poisonous insects.
At this time, Jiang An'er stepped forward and whispered, "Master Lingjun, is it possible that he is incapable of detoxifying the poison and is just making up a story that the queen is poisoned?"
Shang Ruoyi glanced at her. She had previously thought that she was plain-looking, but now it seemed that her brain couldn't be any plainer.
"You didn't see the powder used to test the Gu worm, or you didn't see the Gu worm wriggling?" Shang Ruoyi sneered, "Now I know why you have been with Divine Doctor Jiang for so long, but your medical skills are still not up to par. It's true that your brain is not suitable for being a doctor, and it's easy to delay the treatment of patients."
"How dare you slander me?"
"Slander?" Shang Ruoyi sneered, "Do I need to slander? If you don't agree, you can ask Doctor Jiang if what I said is true, or ask the imperial doctors in the palace. They have no grudges against you, so they will not slander you." After she finished speaking, she ignored her and took out a porcelain bottle from the medicine box. It contained undiluted spiritual spring water. She cut the Queen's arm with a knife, and immediately, thick black blood flowed down.
Everyone was amazed when they saw this.
"What are you doing? Why did you cut the queen's arm?" The nanny shouted, "How can someone like you harm the queen's body at will?"
"Madam, do you want your mother's bones and blood to be eaten away by the poisonous insects, or do you want to save her?"
"Of course, I want to save the queen."
Shang Ruoyi raised her eyelids slightly and glanced at her: "I want your mother to recover, so don't disturb me."
Upon hearing this, the nanny immediately kept silent.
Shang Ruoyi used a silver needle to stop the bleeding and dripped a few drops of spiritual spring water on the wound.
For a long while, the poisonous insect showed no signs of moving.
Shang Ruoyi dripped some more.
His eyes were fixed on the location where the poisonous insect was.
Just when she thought her method had failed, suddenly, the insect began to visibly wriggle, and the next moment, it began to madly wriggle towards the queen's arm.
The poisonous insect squirmed, and the queen fell into a coma, her face instantly turning extremely pale.
Soon, the poisonous insect came near the wound.
Shang Ruoyi originally wanted to directly cut out the flesh to remove the Gu, but that would inevitably leave an obvious scar on her arm, and even the best scar removal cream would be useless. Thinking of what the old princess had said, if a woman had scars on her body, it would be regarded as a bad sign. Although she didn't care, did the queen and the emperor care?
If the emperor minds, then the days ahead in this deep palace will be extremely difficult.
She thought about it and finally decided not to do it.
The poisonous insect stopped one inch from the wound and did not move forward any further.
When Shang Ruoyi saw this, a trace of anxiety flashed in her eyes. If she delayed any longer, the wound would almost heal under the effect of the spiritual spring water, and then it would be difficult to remove the poisonous insect.
She dropped a few more drops of spiritual spring water. If it still didn't show up, she would have to cut out its flesh to get the poison.
Just as she was about to insert the needle, the poisonous insect finally couldn't resist the temptation and slowly moved forward. After a while, a white fleshy worm appeared in front of Shang Ruoyi.
There was a lot of spiritual spring water at the wound, and the insect became extremely excited, exposing its entire fleshy body.
At this moment, Shang Ruoyi seized the opportunity, pierced his body with a silver needle, and threw him out.
The poisonous insect landed right at Jiang An'er's feet. She saw the flesh worm twisting on the ground and screamed, "Ah! Bug! Bug!"
The shrill voice spread throughout Fengyi Palace. Doctor Jiang felt a chill down his spine and hurried forward to cover her mouth.
Doctor Jiang pulled Jiang An'er to kneel on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, my little girl doesn't know etiquette. Please forgive her for her young age!"
Emperor Tianshun was so devoted to the Empress that he had no time to care about Jiang's father and daughter.
Originally, if one was disrespectful in front of the palace, the punishment would be fifty lashes of the cane at the least, or even imprisonment at the worst. However, thinking that Divine Doctor Jiang might still be useful in the future, Emperor Tianshun suppressed his annoyance and said in a deep voice, "Get out."
Upon hearing this, how could Doctor Jiang dare to delay?
He quickly pulled Jiang An'er away.
The prince came to the side of the poisonous insect, looked at the still twisting body, and said with disdain: "I didn't expect that there would be such a big poisonous insect in my mother's body. It's really terrifying. Every time this poisonous insect squirms, my mother must be very uncomfortable."
Just then, Eunuch Zhang came in and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao is here. Can you please let her in?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianshun nodded and said, "Call her in."
