Chapter 132 Detoxification
Qianhuan couldn't help but worry about the man in black. Could it be that after she left, the gray-clothed man's accomplices found this place, discovered the man in black in the cave, and captured him? Or did the man in black wake up and leave on his own?
Qianhuan naturally hoped it was the latter. Although the man in black spoke a little coldly, he could hardly save himself at the time, but he still remembered to protect her. It was obvious that he must be a chivalrous man. She didn't want a good man to encounter an accident.
Qianhuan did not give up and searched outside the cave for several times, but still could not find anyone. Finally, she concluded that the man in black was really no longer there.
It’s a pity that I bought him the best medicine powder, but it’s useless now.
Qianhuan thought that the man's jade pendant was still in her hand. If the man was still alive and found out that his jade pendant was taken away by her, she didn't know how he would feel. He would probably be furious.
Forget it. Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God. There is no point in thinking too much. No matter whether the man is alive or has met with an accident, I will just keep his jade pendant for the time being.
Qianhuan left the cave and turned back to the city.
Seeing that Liu Ye's group was no longer on the street, she returned to the clothing store and changed back into her men's clothes. Then, carrying the newly bought women's clothes, she went to Mr. Fan to pick up Wenjie.
When she arrived at Mr. Fan's house, she went to the kitchen to cook as usual, but Uncle Chang stopped her and said, "Shanbo, my master said that there is something going on at home today, so he won't keep you to cook lunch. You can take Wenjie home first."
In the past, when she occasionally wanted to be lazy and not cook lunch, Mr. Fan would beg her to do it. What happened today? She took the initiative to go to the kitchen to cook, but why didn't he let her cook?
Although Qianhuan was a little confused, she still did as she was told.
After the brother and sister left, Mr. Fan immediately hurried back to his room.
I saw a seriously injured and unconscious man lying on the bed. Although his face was pale, his lips were purple, and his eyes were closed, it was still difficult to conceal his beautiful face and noble aura.
The doctor at Mr. Fan's house was giving an acupuncture to the handsome man lying on the hospital bed.
When Chi Ying saw Mr. Fan coming in, he knelt on one knee and clasped his fists to greet him, "I am here to see the Master of the Imperial Court."
It turned out that Mr. Fan was actually the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, in charge of the highest institution of learning in the Dayuan Dynasty, and a fourth-rank official in the capital.
Mr. Fan gave Chiying a helping hand, and after he stood up, he asked anxiously, "Chiying, how is your master now?"
"The doctor in your house is giving the master acupuncture to detoxify. Fortunately, the doctor said that this poison will not harm his life, otherwise I would be blamed for it."
In fact, Chi Ying himself was also poisoned, but the group of gray-clothed men did not chase him, and he did not use his internal force, so the poison did not spread. The doctor at Mr. Fan's house gave him an antidote pill, and after he took it, the poison in his body was detoxified.
But it was different for the master. In order to deal with those dark dogs, he forced himself to use his internal energy several times, which made the poisoning worse. Now the doctor can only give him acupuncture to drive out the poison.
Mr. Fan asked again with concern: "What is going on? Hasn't your master been in the capital? How come he suddenly appeared in Lingzhou City and got himself covered in injuries?"
"Master Jijiu, this is a long story. When the master wakes up, you can ask him in person."
Chi Ying knew that before Mr. Fan became the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, he had been invited by Prince An to be a teacher to his master at his mansion for several years. Mr. Fan could be considered his master's master, so he respected Mr. Fan very much.
However, they found out that there was a base of the Canglang Kingdom in Lingzhou City. The prince had previously told him not to reveal it casually, so he could not say more to Mr. Fan for the time being. Everything could only be decided after the prince woke up.
The doctor inserted the last needle into the prince's Baihui acupoint. The man on the bed suddenly stood up and spat out a mouthful of black blood, then fell into coma again.
Chi Ying hurried over and asked nervously: "Doctor, what happened to my master?"
"Don't panic. Your master vomited black blood, which means the poison has come out. I will prescribe another prescription. If you take a few doses of medicine in the next few days, the remaining poison will be completely eliminated. But in the next half month, remember not to let your master use his internal energy, otherwise the remaining poison will flow through his limbs and bones, and then it will hurt his lungs and internal organs."
"Okay, thank you doctor."
The doctor began to clean the knife wounds on the person in the bed. While applying medicine powder, he reminded: "The knife wounds on your master's body are also quite serious. When he wakes up, be sure not to let him get out of bed and walk around. He must stay in bed for a few days. Only when the wounds are healed can he get out of bed and move around."
"Yes, I understand. Thank you for telling me, doctor."
After finishing his work, the doctor took his leave.
After everyone left, Chi Ying told Mr. Fan: "Master Jijiu, no one can know what happened to my master in Lingzhou City. Please keep your mouth shut and don't reveal it. I don't know if the doctor who just treated the prince is reliable?"
"Well, I understand. Don't worry. This doctor is an old man in our house. I will go and tell him. He won't say anything nonsense."
"In that case, thank you very much, Master Jijiu."
Seeing that the person on the bed showed no signs of waking up, Mr. Fan went out to explain the situation to the doctor.
After Teng Yu spat out a mouthful of black blood, he was unconscious for an incense stick of time before waking up. He suddenly opened a pair of phoenix eyes that were as bright and deep as gems.
Chi Ying shouted in surprise: "Master, you finally woke up. I was worried to death."
After he separated from his master today, he wanted to lure those men in gray to chase him, but he found that no one chased him.
He guessed that those men in gray must have chosen the direction in which his master left and chased after him. He was extremely anxious, but unfortunately he was also poisoned and could not use his internal strength. He could only chase after his master in the direction he left.
"Chiying, where did you find this prince?"
"Master, I first followed the secret code you left behind, and then found the bodies of the Canglang people in a bamboo forest. Unfortunately, I didn't find you at all, and the secret code was cut off at the bamboo forest."
Chi Ying continued, "Later, I found obvious signs of people being dragged on the road. I thought those dogs had captured you. But when I followed the signs on the road, I saw you hiding in a cave."
"Cave?" The man was a little confused.
"Yes, Master. I found you in a hidden cave in the forest outside the city. The entrance to the cave was covered tightly with grass and branches. I pushed aside the dead branches and went in, and saw you lying on the ground, barely breathing. I was almost scared to death. Didn't you hide in the cave by yourself?"
Teng Yu suddenly remembered the little girl with the veil hat. He thought that it must be her who dragged him over and hid him in the cave. However, the girl was obviously not very scheming. She didn't even bother to clear all the traces on the road while escaping.
Fortunately, Chi Ying found me first, otherwise, by the time Cang Gou's accomplices came looking for me, I would probably have been dead and gone.
"A girl saved me. It must be that girl who hid me in the cave."
"I see."
Chi Ying suddenly realized what was going on. When he found his master, he was still wondering how a man like his master, who often marched and fought, could leave such obvious footprints if he wanted to hide. It turned out that his master didn't hide himself.
Teng Yu looked around the unfamiliar room, then asked, "Chiying, where are we now?"
"My lord, we are now in the old house of Lord Jijiu. Lord Jijiu's mother is from Qingxi County, Lingzhou City. After his mother became seriously ill and missed her hometown, he asked for leave from His Majesty and took his mother back to his hometown. I took the initiative to bring you here, please punish me, my lord." Chi Ying knelt down quickly.
"Chiying, I will absolve you of all guilt in this matter. Before Mr. Fan became the Lord of the Imperial Court, he was my teacher. I trust his character."
"Thank you, Master."
