"Save me…Please save me…"
While the two of them were talking, the person lying on the bed opened his eyes and weakly asked Ning Ruqiu for help. When Ning Ruqiu's cold gaze looked at the bed, it suddenly became gentle.
This person should be an ordinary citizen, and the poison in his body should have been sent by the Empress. At this time, the person stretched out his trembling arm to cry for help from Ning Ruqiu, barely able to say a complete sentence with his last breath.
Ning Ruqiu saw that he was in pain and could not bear to not save him. The man also noticed that Ning Ruqiu was a little soft-hearted and said,""Princess Ye wouldn't just watch him die in front of you, right?”
"It's my business whether I save him or not. Now, please get out immediately!”Ning Ruqiu said fiercely. These killers who treated human lives like grass were not qualified to stand in front of her and say a word!
"Just save him. This subordinate will 'scram' out now.”The man deliberately emphasized the word " get lost ". He looked at her with a complicated gaze, closed the door, and walked out.
After the man left, Ning Ruqiu sat in front of the bed and took the poisoned old man's pulse again. The poison in the old man was indeed " poison ". The poison was colorless and odorless, and it was difficult to detect even if it dissolved in water. It killed people invisibly.
Ning Ruqiu inserted silver needles into a few acupuncture points that controlled blood flow. This would buy her some time to develop the antidote. A long and thin silver needle was inserted into the old man's wrist. The old man's face was twisted and twisted, and his face slowly turned from purple to dark purple.
"Uncle, please bear with it for a moment.”As she spoke, she inserted the second silver needle into the acupuncture point.
After inserting a few silver needles into the acupuncture points, Ning Ruqiu walked to the medicine cabinet and took out the medicine box, placing the required herbs on the table. As she pounded the medicine, she paid attention to the old man's movements.
An hour later, Ning Ruqiu gave the old man the antidote she had developed. Seeing that the old man's expression was no longer as painful as before, her tightly knitted brows finally relaxed.
Ning Ruqiu covered the old man with a blanket. When she heard the sound of the door being unlocked, she pursed her lips and smiled, then walked to the chair and sat down. After the door opened, the Empress walked into the room with the help of the palace maid. Ning Ruqiu stood up and bowed to the Empress. The Empress smiled." You don't have to be so polite. Sit down and talk to BenGong."”
"Yes." Ning Ruqiu replied coldly. From the corner of her eyes, she saw that the Empress was also paying attention to the old man on the bed. She asked in a low voice,""What is the Empress looking at?"
The Empress retracted her gaze and looked straight at Ning Ruqiu. She smiled gently and said,""How is it? Are you used to living here?"
"Thank you for your trouble, Empress.”
"How is the poisoned person now?”The Empress was silent for a moment, but she couldn't help but ask her in the end.
Ning Ruqiu still had a lingering fear. She raised her head and looked straight into the Empress 'heart." The Empress knows this poisoned person? Perhaps this little girl wanted to ask one more question. Why did the Empress's subordinates save this poisoned old man?”
The Empress raised her eyebrows and smiled. She put her hand on the side." It's just a coincidence. The ancients said that saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. I'm also accumulating some blessings."”
"The Empress is truly a Bodhisattva.”Ning Ruqiu curled her lips into a mocking smile. This sentence made the Empress 'expression uneasy, but it quickly returned to normal.
The Empress got up and slowly walked over to the bed. Ning Ruqiu sat calmly at the side without moving. When the Empress walked over, her sharp gaze fell on that person's face.
His face was as red as usual, and his lips were also bright red. Clearly, the poisoned person was out of danger.
"Princess Ye's medical skills are really high, even 'poison' such an ordinary poison can be developed, this prince is very impressed.”The Empress walked back from the bed and sat back down, praising Ning Ruqiu with a smile.
Ning Ruqiu smiled modestly. Her black eyes were as clear as a mirror, piercing straight to the bottom of one's heart." Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. It's just that I haven't said what poison that person was poisoned with, and Your Majesty was actually able to 'guess' that it was poisonous poison. I'm really impressed!"”She deliberately emphasized the word "guess" in order to embarrass the Empress.
The Empress could no longer pretend to be calm and laughed dryly." BenGong was just guessing randomly. How could it be so coincidental that BenGong was right?"”
"Oh, is that so?"
"Do you suspect that bengong had someone poison you to test you?”
The simple conversation caused the temperature in the room to drop to freezing point. Everyone had a tight string in their hearts, and no one was willing to touch it first because it would cause them to die without a burial place.
Ning Ruqiu didn't have a smile on her face. She sat calmly and indifferently at the side. Soon, she laughed lightly." Your Majesty, you're worrying too much. Since I've already chosen to stand on your side, how could I casually doubt Your Majesty?"”
The Empress's heart finally sank a little when she heard this. So what if she was sure that she had sent someone to poison her? Now that she was in her hands, how could she turn the world upside down?
"BenGong is very happy that you can trust BenGong. However, BenGong also has an important matter to discuss with you today.”The Empress had no intention of beating around the bush with her, and time did not allow her to waste any more time. The Imperial Uncle had already said that if they could not make Ning Ruqiu work for them, it was better to deal with such a threatening person as soon as possible!
Ning Ruqiu nodded and waited for the Empress to continue. The Empress took out an exquisite small porcelain bottle from her sleeve and placed it on the table." Open it and smell what this is."”
Ning Ruqiu stared at the porcelain bottle on the table and boldly reached out to take it. After opening the porcelain bottle, she placed it at the tip of her nose and sniffed it from afar. There was no special smell. She covered the porcelain bottle again and placed it on the table.
The Empress saw her put the porcelain bottle back on the table with a normal expression and asked with a smile,""How is it? Did anyone guess what kind of poison it was?”
Poison? A trace of astonishment flashed across Ning Ru Qiu's eyes. She only knew that there was only one kind of poison in the world that was colorless and odorless that could kill people invisibly, but she didn't know that there were other poisons that also had such an effect. It seemed that she still knew too little!
"As expected, the Empress still doesn't trust me. Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought this bottle of poison for me to smell, right?”Ning Ruqiu sighed in disappointment. She knew that the Empress was not using this bottle of poison to deal with her, but she still said so.
The Empress was amused by her words." Why would BenGong come to kill you? If that's the case, do you still have the chance to sit here and talk to bengong?”
"What does Your Highness mean by this? Is this poison?”
"It's just a small porcelain bottle filled with water.”The Empress said lightly. When she saw that Ning Ruqiu still had a serious look on her face, the smile on her lips deepened.
Ning Ruqiu didn't say anything. When she spoke again, her voice suddenly turned cold." If Your Majesty has anything to say, please speak frankly. This little girl is timid and can't stand being scared like this."”
The Empress covered her face with her sleeves and smiled. Ning Ruqiu's words couldn't be trusted. Was she timid? Only a ghost would believe what she said!
"BenGong came to find you today to let you develop a poison stronger than poison. Do you have any difficulties?”The Empress hid a needle in her cotton wool, and her few words revealed her schemes.
Ning Ruqiu smiled noncommittally." Is the Empress joking?" Do you really think I can develop a poison better than poison? To be honest, I can't even develop poison.”Recently, other than researching medicine, she had been researching medicine. Medicine to treat the emperor, to help people detoxify, and now she had to develop some kind of poison! Do you still want to live?
The Empress stared at her with a face full of conviction. Other than trust, she was more of an order because Ning Ruqiu had no choice. It was smart to work under her and obey orders.
"Is three days enough? BenGong will give you three days, you must develop it!”The Empress 'tone was not as polite as before. Without waiting for Ning Ruqiu's reply, she had already stood up from her chair and walked out of the room arrogantly.
Ning Ruqiu shook her head with a bitter smile. What was this called? She was the one who wanted to escape from Si Tingye's side. Now that she had jumped into this muddy water, it would be difficult for her to leave alive.
While he was thinking hard, the old man lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes and saw Ning Ruqiu sitting opposite him from afar. Subconsciously, he still remembered that Ning Ruqiu was his benefactor and said softly,""Young Lady!"
Ning Ruqiu hurriedly walked to the bed and saw that the old man had woken up. She smiled and said,""Uncle, you're finally awake. How are you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”She placed her hand on the old man's wrist to take his pulse. After confirming that he was fine, she covered him with the blanket.
"Miss, thank you for saving me. But this old man is poor and can't repay Young Lady's great kindness. As long as Young Lady has any problems, this old man will definitely "
"Uncle, please don't say that. It's not that I saved you, it's just that you're kindhearted.”Ning Ruqiu hurriedly supported the old man and stopped him from getting up from the bed.
The old man sighed deeply. His sunken eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life." Miss, I know very well that God will not pity poor people like us. If you hadn't saved me, I would have reported to the King of Hell!”
When Ning Ruqiu heard this, her calm heart stirred. The old uncle's words reminded her that people would not be poisoned for no reason. Although she suspected the Empress, she could not confirm it because she had no evidence.
"Uncle, can you tell me what happened on the day you were poisoned?”Ning Ruqiu felt that even the Empress herself did not think that she had the ability to cure poison, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to find out about the situation.
The Empress was really good at this. Firstly, she wanted to use this matter to test her background. If she could cure the poison, she would order her to develop a poison that was even more terrifying than poison. Secondly, if she could not cure the poison, he would use this matter to take her life!
When Ning Ruqiu thought of this, her lips curled into a smile. Since the Empress thought so highly of her, she couldn't disappoint the Empress, right?
The old man carefully recalled what had happened that day and said,"That day, I worked in the fields. At noon, the sun was burning on my body. My mouth was dry and I wanted to find water to drink. At this moment, a young man came over with a bowl of water and said that it was for me. I was very thirsty at that time, so I didn't say anything and drank it directly. After that, I felt that I couldn't breathe.”
"What kind of person is he? Do you still remember her appearance?" Ning Ruqiu anxiously asked, already thinking of revenge.
"That person was tall and big, his skin was a little dark, and he had a fierce look on his face.”If he wasn't really thirsty that day, he wouldn't have taken the water from that person.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #
