Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 951 Zhang Dexian: I am deaf!
With the permission of Chief Steward Zhang, the carriage stopped all the way to the door of the bedroom.

Zhang Dexian had already tidied up his slightly disheveled appearance before getting off the carriage. As soon as the carriage stopped, he got off first and stood by, smiling at Ji Wuyan like a child who had received candy... Ji Wuyan felt embarrassed and had to smile back, then raised his hand to signal the other party to go into the hall first to inform His Majesty and the imperial doctors.

Zhang Dexian seemed to have just remembered that his master the emperor was on the verge of death, and he quickly waved his whisk and trotted into the hall. Soon the young eunuch came out to invite people.

The emperor's condition was indeed not optimistic, much more serious than before. No one knew what medicine the imperial doctors had used for him. Even though the emperor looked red-faced and breathing rapidly, as if he would die at any moment, he was still awake and had not fallen asleep. When he saw Ji Wuyan and others coming in, he waved at Ji Wuyan impatiently, "Medicine... needle, needle..."

The hand stretched out with all one's strength, so bony, reminds people of the strong yet weak dead tree trunks under the night sky in late winter.

It stretched there, and no matter from which angle you looked at it, it looked as if it had no breath of life.

I was going to ask the doctors what medicine they had used before, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary and there is no time. Ji Wuyan immediately asked the doctors to leave, asked Zhang Dexian to bring the mother Gu, and took out the acupuncture and the pills that Chen Lao had prepared in the morning.

Chen Yinuo looked at Ji Wuyan who was silent and quick in preparing all this. In fact, he wanted to ask Ji Wuyan, His Majesty's condition was too strange and abnormal, how could such a dying... death suddenly appear? But he looked at Zhang Zongguan who was wiping the cold sweat from the emperor's forehead beside the bed, and chose to remain silent wisely - to cure an extraordinary disease, you need an extraordinary medicine, and he still understood the principle of taking a risky move, but after all, it involved the health of the dragon's body. He could understand it, but others might not accept it.

But he never knew that Miss Ji also knew medical skills? Even her techniques seemed to be very skilled. He was so surprised that he didn't even pay attention when Ji Wuyan called him. It was not until Ning Xiuyuan pushed him that he came back to his senses.

Ji Wuyan handed him a pill, looked at him thoughtfully, and then ordered, "Please dissolve it in water, Mr. Chen, and give it to me."

It was a large pill placed in a dark brown wooden box. It was blood red and had a faint bloody smell. It looked a bit weird. Chen Yinuo looked at the emperor who had fallen asleep and asked Ji Wuyan, "I wonder how much water should be used to dissolve it?... I mean, your majesty is asleep. If it is dissolved, it will be more difficult to feed it. It is better to let him hold it in his mouth and wait for it to dissolve on its own."

Ji Wuyan looked back at him again, still with that thoughtful look in her eyes, which made people feel uneasy. After a while, she retracted her gaze and took out a silver needle, saying lightly, "Who told you that it is edible? Go, an ordinary small porcelain bowl, or a teacup will do, and put warm water over the pills."

Zhang Dexian was worried and was about to stand up when Ji Wuyan stopped him. "Manager Zhang, please stay and help me press His Majesty's shoulders. It will be painful when the needles are applied, so don't let him struggle."

Obviously, this is not just "a little painful", but can it make a person who has fallen asleep feel so painful that he wants to bend into a taut long bow? Zhang Dexian obviously couldn't hold down the emperor who was struggling and twisting in his sleep. In the end, even Ning Xiuyuan was dragged to help. The two men gritted their teeth to hold down the emperor who was only a pile of bones... In this situation, it is still just "a little painful"? Zhang Dexian finally loosened his clenched back teeth and looked at the girl who was lowering her head to give acupuncture. The little girl lowered her head and gave acupuncture very quickly, almost without hesitation. It can be seen that she is very skilled, as if she has a pair of eyes different from others.

She had once given acupuncture to His Majesty before, and that time the acupuncture woke His Majesty from his coma, but the imperial doctors were actually dissatisfied, thinking that such a teenage girl, what skills could she have? It was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse! Zhang Dexian also had some such thoughts... After meeting her today, I realized that this girl had some real skills, and for a while, I had more respect and courtesy for her.

Chen Yinuo soon came back with a porcelain bowl. The bloody pill was dissolved in warm water. The bloody smell was much stronger than before. Even Zhang Dexian could smell it. He looked at Chen Yinuo and asked Ji Wuyan, "Miss Ji...what is this?"

"Medicine lead." Ji Wuyan answered concisely, reaching out to take the porcelain bowl and pouring it into the small jar containing the mother Gu, then placed it on the edge of the bed next to the emperor's hand, and then signaled to everyone, "Hold it down."

Zhang Dexian, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, quickly clenched his teeth again, but the moment he saw Ji Wuyan took out the knife, he cried out in surprise, "Miss Ji, what are you going to do? The dragon's body, your majesty's dragon's body must not be damaged...ah!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Wuyan raised his knife and slashed the emperor's wrist. The wound was not big, but there was a lot of blood. Zhang Dexian opened his mouth to scream, but the emperor shuddered violently under his hand. Ji Wuyan whispered, "Press it tight."

Zhang Dexian swallowed his exclamation and was about to persuade him earnestly when he saw something like a caterpillar crawling under the skin of His Majesty's arm. He felt dizzy and his throat seemed to be blocked by leftover food. After a while, he asked with trembling lips, "What, what is this..."

Ji Wuyan did not answer him, and no one answered him.

Ning Xiuyuan was not concerned and just stared at Ji Wuyan the whole time. Although Chen Yinuo guessed what it was, he had completely forgotten how to react. He watched Ji Wuyan's fingertips quickly drop silver needles on the emperor's arm, forcing the young Gu under the skin all the way to the wrist. Then, the Gu worm, perhaps because it sensed the presence of the mother Gu or because of the pill, just "obediently" left the emperor's body.

After applying medicine, bandaging, removing the needles, and finally covering the jar containing the Gu worm, Ji Wuyan looked up at Zhang Dexian and asked him in a bad mood, "The dragon body must be damaged? It's damaged to this extent. Is Zhang planning to let the Gu worm take His Majesty to be buried together? Oh, of course not, because the Gu worm will not be buried alive with the emperor. It will probably wait for His Majesty to pass away, and then the Gu worm will get hungry and eat a big hole in the dragon body and then crawl out..."

Zhang Dexian's face turned pale, not because of the poisonous insect, but because of Ji Wuyan! How dare this girl, she has no taboos in front of His Majesty, saying "enter the coffin, pass away" all the time... The little girl dared to say it, but he didn't dare to listen!
