Chapter 5: The wet nurse is dead, but the maid Qingzhu is still alive
Jiang Yimo listened without much reaction on her face.
"Since you are the Evil King, it will be easier to deal with you. Let's make a deal. I will detoxify you, and you will have someone send me back to Haicheng."
"Yes! The premise is that you can really detoxify me. But before you detoxify me, don't try to leave here. If you don't have someone familiar with the island to guide you, you won't be able to escape from it."
Feng Wuhen deliberately warned Jiang Yimo to give her up the idea of running away.
"Okay, then please help me detoxify."
After Jiang Yimo finished speaking, she walked over to Feng Wuhen and sat down. She stretched out two slender fingers, placed them on Feng Wuhen's wrist, and carefully felt his pulse.
After a few seconds, her brows furrowed slightly.
Feng Wuhen watched the changes in her facial expression. Although there was no big change on her face, his heart was already tense.
"What kind of poison has this king been poisoned by?"
"The poison that the prince was poisoned by was a combination of the Seven-Dye Flower and the Golden Grass. If these two poisons are taken at the same time, they can suppress each other and reach a balanced state. If some ordinary herbs are added, these two poisons will become colorless and tasteless, and the poisoned person will not be diagnosed with poisoning for two months."
When Feng Wuhen heard Jiang Yimo's words, his heart was suddenly filled with turmoil.
This little girl is really capable. What she said is almost the same as what the genius doctor Nan Qiao said.
"Then why can people who were poisoned by these two poisons still test positive two months later?"
Feng Wuhen asked in confusion.
"This is their cleverness. At the beginning, when the two poisons are suppressed, they naturally cannot be detected. But as time goes by, this balance will be broken. No matter whether it is the Seven-Dye Flower or the Golden Grass, no matter which one's poison comes out first and penetrates into the internal organs, the poisoned person will die."
"These two poisons can only balance each other for two years at most. Once the two years are up, one of the poisons will definitely break the balance. By then, the poisoned person will be poisoned and there will be no cure."
"As for the poison in your body, I just checked your pulse and found that you only have two months left before the two-year poison takes effect. If you can't find an antidote to cure the poison in your body within these two months, you will die."
Jiang Yimo looked very relaxed as she said these words, as if she was discussing comfortably what to eat for dinner today.
Feng Wuhen had not expected that Jiang Yimo knew so much about the poison in his body. Through her words, Feng Wuhen had believed that she really understood medical skills, because even the genius doctor Nan Qiao had never told him in such detail about the poison in his body, but he had no idea how advanced her medical skills were.
"Then are you sure you can help me detoxify?"
"Yes, I am 70% sure that I can help His Majesty detoxify you, but to remove the poison from your body, I need a herb."
"What medicinal herbs?" Feng Wuhen looked at her anxiously with his deep eyes.
"God, butterfly, flower!"
"Divine Butterfly Flower, this king has never heard of this herb."
"The Divine Butterfly Flower is a rare herb. It's not surprising that His Majesty has never seen it. Even I have only seen it once."
"You have seen the Divine Butterfly Flower. Where does it grow? I will send someone to pick it immediately."
"!!!"
"No! If you are not a doctor, you must not pick rare herbs like the Divine Butterfly Flower, otherwise it will affect its efficacy."
"So you mean you want to pick the Divine Butterfly Flower yourself?"
"Yes! Now I know where there is a butterfly flower."
She discovered a secret deep in the original owner's memory. When the original owner was eight years old, she was tricked by Jiang Yaqi into a large stone cave in the bamboo forest on the back mountain. She accidentally saw her stepmother Ruan Jinyi and a masked man in black planting a glowing green butterfly grass in the middle of the pool in the bamboo forest.
At that time, the original owner also heard the masked man in black specifically instructing Ruan Jinyi to protect the herb well.
Ruan Jinyi also seriously promised to take good care of the herb.
At that time, the original owner was timid and cowardly, and didn't understand what it was, so she didn't take it to heart. But she is a female doctor who traveled through time from the modern era. Last night, when she was sorting out the original owner's memory, she suddenly discovered that the green butterfly flower planted in the bamboo forest behind the Jiang Mansion was a legendary rare divine butterfly flower.
What was even more unexpected was that the magical butterfly flower would come in handy so soon.
"where is it?"
Feng Wuhen asked her anxiously again.
"She is in Haicheng. If the prince has someone send me back to Haicheng, I am willing to help him pick the Divine Butterfly Flower and prepare the antidote."
"Is the Divine Butterfly Flower really in Haicheng?"
Feng Wuhen stared at Jiang Yimo with his deep phoenix eyes, wanting to get a positive answer.
Hearing this, Jiang Yimo met his gaze and nodded seriously, "Yes!"
"Okay, I will send someone to accompany you back to Haicheng to pick the Divine Butterfly Flowers, but don't play any tricks, otherwise I will..."
"My daughter will definitely keep her promise."
After noon, Jiang Yimo was anxious for Feng Wuhen to send someone to take her off the island.
Feng Wuhen was very easy to talk to this time. He sent Shadow and four guards to escort her out of the island. Just like last night, he let her leave with her eyes covered with black gauze.
Jiang Yimo didn't think too much at this time. It would definitely be safer to have someone escort her out of the island than for her to escape secretly, and it would also save time.
What she was most worried about right now was her wet nurse and the little maid Qingzhu. She didn't know what their current situation was. Yesterday, the original owner was dragged away from the back mountain by two old women and several servants sent by Ruan Jinyi. The wet nurse and Qingzhu had been blocking and protecting her, and they suffered a lot of beatings. Now she was anxious to return to the back mountain of the Jiang Mansion to see them.
She didn't make any small moves along the way, and cooperated very well with Feng Wuhen's people. She got on the small wooden boat and passed through a thick milky white fog. It was unknown how long the boat had been rowing before she finally returned to the coast of Haicheng. Only then did Shadow help her remove the black gauze from her eyes.
But what Jiang Yimo didn't know was that not long after she left, Feng Wuhen also brought a few guards and got on a small boat, following Jiang Yimo and the others from a distance and leaving his island.
Jiang Yimo got off the boat and hurried back to the back mountain of the Jiang Mansion according to the route remembered by the original owner.
She walked into the dilapidated courtyard in the back mountain where the original owner once lived. The courtyard was quiet and the ground was a mess. The wild vegetables on the stone table, wooden rack, and drying in the winnowing basket were all knocked over on the ground.
The vegetables planted by the nanny in the yard were either pulled out or destroyed.
The door to the main house was open, and the soft afternoon sunlight was shining into the precarious house, which was exposed to wind and light on all sides. The furniture in the house was smashed to the ground and was in a mess.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yimo's heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling.
She rushed into the house in a hurry. There was a strong smell of blood in the air. She looked up and saw two people lying on the floor. A little girl covered in blood was lying on top of a woman. There were bloodstains all over the floor that had dried up. She didn't know whether the two were dead or alive.
The old and the young should be the original owner's wet nurse and maid Qingzhu.
Jiang Yimo frowned and walked to the two men with heavy steps. She squatted down, reached out to feel the breath of the wet nurse's nose and the artery on her neck, and confirmed that the wet nurse was dead.
Jiang Yimo looked at the bruises and bruises on the wet nurse's face and felt as if her heart was stabbed by a sharp knife. Her eyes suddenly turned red.
This is the affection that the original owner had for her wet nurse that remained in her body, which made her feel very uncomfortable and suppressed.
She held back her tears and reached out her hand again. Qingzhu was as miserable as her nurse. She thought she had also...
But what surprised her was that Qingzhu still had a faint breath, but had lost too much blood and passed out, so he could still be saved.
So, she immediately carried Qingzhu, who was covered in blood, to the side and carefully felt her pulse. Qingzhu's pulse was very weak. Jiang Yimo immediately took out a Qi-replenishing pill from the Purple Lotus Space and fed it into Qingzhu's mouth to keep her alive.
Then, she turned her head and said to the shadows outside the door: "Brothers, please help me guard the yard for a while. I will save my maid's life first and deal with some things. Then I will take you to pick the Divine Butterfly Flowers."
After Jiang Yimo finished speaking, she picked up Qingzhu again and ran straight to the original owner's room.
She put Qingzhu on the bed, quickly closed the door, and moved Qingzhu into her purple lotus space in a flash.
On the operating table, Jiang Yimo carefully took off Qingzhu's blood-stained clothes and helped her treat her wounds. Qingzhu was not woken up by her.
Looking at the bruises and scars on Qingzhu's body, as well as the whip marks and bloodstains, she gasped.
Those people were too cruel. They beat Qingzhu so hard that there was not a single piece of good flesh left on his body.
