Chapter 225 There is an Antidote

Back in the room, Hongdou served breakfast, but Cui Pu had no appetite.

"Still angry because of what happened last night?" Mu Jiaojiao asked in a low voice.

"What do you think?" Cui Pu snorted angrily.

Mu Jiaojiao shook his head helplessly, then winked at Hongdou, Hongdou immediately led the people back.

Seeing this, Cui Pu couldn't help clenching his chopsticks: "What do you want to do?"

"Why, are you still afraid that I will do something to you?" Mu Jiaojiao couldn't stop laughing.

Cui Pu immediately turned his head away again.

Mu Jiaojiao then sighed: "Actually, you rushed out without thinking before I finished my words yesterday. Now that we are sitting together again, I think I should finish my words."

Cui Pu's heart moved, but his face was light: "What else do you want to say?"

"This Gu in me actually has an antidote."

Is there an antidote?Cui Pu became excited immediately.The disdain and Xiao Aojiao couldn't pretend anymore, so he quickly asked: "Really? Tell me what the antidote is, and I'll ask someone to find it now!"

"The antidote is very simple, there are only five herbs, but none of them were grown in our New Tang Dynasty." Mu Jiaojiao said calmly.

Cui Pu's smiling face immediately froze. "Nothing at all?"

"Nothing." Mu Jiaojiao shook his head.

"so what should I do now?"

"So, these years, my father has been away all year round, claiming that he is doing business, but his real purpose is to search for those medicinal materials. Up to now, he has found four of them, and only one is called Persian Artemisia annua. It is said that it is only found in the inaccessible places in Persia, so I went there again years ago."

"After you fell ill last year, your father-in-law came to see you and said he was going to Persia, so that's where he went to find you the last blind antidote?" Cui Pu asked as if seeking proof.

Mu Jiaojiao nodded.

Cui Pu let out a sigh of relief.But then his face was filled with anxiety again: "Are you sure father-in-law can find this antidote when he goes to Persia this time? If he can't find it, what should we do?"

"If you can't find it, you can't find it! I am 17 years old now, which means that Dad spent a full 17 years searching for these medicinal materials, but only found four of them. It is about the same It took four years to find a single medicine. So logically speaking, it should take another four years for him to find that medicine." Mu Jiaojiao said indifferently.

"Four more years?" Cui Pu exclaimed, "How can that be? You already..."

"I'll be fine." Mu Jiaojiao said suddenly.

Cui Pu's eyes darkened, and Mu Jiaojiao held his hand: "I'm really going to be fine. I've survived the past sixteen times, and this time I won't be surprised."

"But you also said that the symptoms this time will be much more serious than the last time. The previous attack has already tortured you like this, and now this time it is three times the previous one..."

"Then I'll be fine. You have to believe in this." Mu Jiaojiao clenched his hand and insisted.

Cui Pu closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of determination: "Yes, I want to firmly believe in this! You will definitely be able to carry it on until the day when father-in-law finds the last medicine!"

"That's the reason!" Mu Jiaojiao nodded quickly, then passed the chopsticks into his hands, "Now, let's eat!"

Cui Pu took the chopsticks and immediately started to gobble them up.

After finishing his business in the yamen, he saw that he had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he greeted Wang Shiqilang and the others, and then quietly walked to a medical clinic not far from the county yamen.

At this time, Imperial Physician Chang had just seen a patient and was writing a prescription.Seeing Cui Pu approaching, he immediately smiled and said: "The magistrate of the county is here, it really makes the succulent shine! I don't know what the magistrate of the county is doing in our clinic?"

"I came to the medical hall, of course I came to ask Imperial Physician Chang to treat you." Cui Pu said.

"Ask me to treat you?" Chang imperial physician laughed, "Master, are you looking for the wrong person? Isn't your wife's medical skills much better than this old man's? What's wrong with you, just ask her to help you. Guaranteed medicine When the disease is cured, why does the old man, a second-rate doctor, take action?"

"Doctors don't heal themselves."

Hearing the words thrown by Cui Pu, the smile on Imperial Physician Chang's face disappeared. "Master, what do you mean by that?"

"Do you still remember what you found when you and Guo Cishi went to see us in the old mansion a few days after the [-]th of August last time?" Cui Pu only asked.

Physician Chang thought about it, and his face immediately changed.

"It's time again?"

Cui Pu nodded, and then bowed politely to him: "Now, only you, the imperial physician, know something about this disease. When the time comes, when Zhuo Jing gets sick, I hope you will be there so that it will be convenient for you to come and go. Let me help and ease her pain a little."

"Mr. Liulang, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will definitely go to your residence and do my best to help Mrs. Liu Shao tide over the difficulties!" A no-nonsense response.

When Cui Pu heard this, he felt a little more at ease, and quickly saluted him again to thank him without mentioning it.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the fifteenth day of August.

Originally, today was a small holiday, so Cui Pu asked everyone in the yamen to rest as a matter of course.He didn't go out early in the morning, and stayed by Mu Jiaojiao's side all the time, keeping his eyes on her, as if he was afraid that her illness would attack immediately.

Mu Jiaojiao felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. "It's close to Jiaozi when I have this problem, it's still early! You are so anxious to get angry now, which makes me nervous. If you let the Gu worms wake up early, and keep me in trouble until early tomorrow morning, That's all because of you!"

When Cui Pu heard what she said, he turned his head quickly: "Okay, I won't bother you now. You should rest well, and I'll talk to brother."

It's just that when he was with Cui Yu, he didn't talk to each other, and it was obvious that his soul was not here.Cui Sanlang was very helpless.

In the evening, Imperial Physician Chang came to them slowly with a medicine box.Cui Pu couldn't stay outside any longer, so he took him to see Mu Jiaojiao under the pretext, and returned to Mu Jiaojiao himself.

The three of them drank tea and talked, the time passed bit by bit, and it was almost time for Jiaozi, Cui Pu and Physician Chang both became nervous.

When Mu Jiaojiao found out, she got up and said, "It's almost time, I think I'd better go to bed and lie down first!"

"Well, you'd better lie down first... I'll accompany you!" Cui Pu nodded quickly, and led her back to the inner room together.

Mu Jiaojiao was lying on the bed with all her clothes on, while Cui Pu sat on the head of the bed, holding her hand tightly with one hand, her body began to tremble slightly.

Mu Jiaojiao patted the back of his hand lightly: "Relax first, maybe the matter is not that serious. What I told you before are all incomplete manuscripts that my father searched elsewhere. I came to such a conclusion by adding my own understanding. Maybe I was wrong, maybe!"

"In this respect, I never believe that you will make mistakes." Cui Pu said in a deep voice.

Mu Jiaojiao stopped talking.

She leaned slowly against his legs, wrapping her arms tightly around his arms.

Cui Pu didn't speak anymore, but stared at her momentarily.

I don't know how much time has passed, but Mu Jiaojiao, who was curled up beside her docilely just now, suddenly froze, and immediately began to tremble violently.

It was just the beginning, and her trembling was already much worse than when he arrived last time!Moreover, there was a large stream of blood flowing from the corner of her lips immediately, and the amount of blood was much more than last time!
She was right, the severity of the attack this time was indeed at least three times that of the last time!
Cui Pu's heart tugged, and he quickly hugged her into his arms.Hong Dou also hurried out and shouted: "Physician Chang, my lady is sick!"

Physician Chang hurried in.Seeing Mu Jiaojiao's symptoms, he pondered for a moment, then took out a black pill the size of a little fingernail from the medicine box: "Feed this to Mrs. Sixth Young Lady. Just stuff it into her mouth like this, no need to dissolve it. "

Hong Dou quickly followed suit.

Physician Chang took out another set of gold needles, and pulled out the longest one to pierce Mu Jiaojiao's body.

Cui Pu hurriedly held him down: "Physician Chang, do you really know how to rescue him?"

"Mr. Liulang, although the old man's medical skills are not as good as Mrs. Liu Shao's, he has been practicing medicine for decades. He also saw with his own eyes how the master rescued that person, and the old man helped the master fight many times. I have encountered such a patient again, but I still keep the master's manuscript at hand, and I even went through it a few days ago. Isn't it because I have experience in this field that you invite me this time? It was rare for Imperial Physician Chang to explain patiently instead of blowing beards and staring at him.

After hearing this, Cui Pu quickly let go of his hand: "I'm sorry, I was too much of an underdog just now. Please continue."

Physician Chang raised the needle again, and slowly inserted it into Mu Jiaojiao's heart.Then, the second stitch, the third stitch, the fourth stitch...

He pricked more than twenty needles in a row, all of which were concentrated in the area of ​​Mu Jiaojiao's heart, the body of the needle was completely submerged, leaving only about half an inch of the needle outside, which looked really scary.

After these needles were applied, Mu Jiaojiao's trembling was relieved, but the blood from the corner of his mouth was still flowing.

Seeing it, Cui Pu felt that it was his heart that was being bitten by the Gu worm—no, now he would rather be the one who was bitten by the Gu worm!Anyway, he is also a man, and his body is much better than hers.She has already been tortured so thin, and this time the illness flares up so badly again, can she be able to bear it when she is so delicate?

Thinking like this, he slowly tightened his hands holding her.

"Little Jiaojiao, bear with it, bear with it. I promise, this is the last time you suffer like this. Next time I will definitely not let you be tortured by this worm. At least before today next year, I will Dig out this worm and tear it into pieces!"
