Ning Ruqiu followed Si Hengqing back to Prince Ye's mansion. On the way, Si Hengqing kept talking about Si Tingye, who had risked his life to save Ning Ruqiu and how they were deeply in love. Ning Ruqiu felt a headache when she heard this, but Si Hengqing was telling the truth. Ning Ruqiu could not refute him and could only hold back her anger. However, she was also curious about Si Tingye's motive for saving her this time.
The two of them had just returned to the Ye Manor when the housekeeper Huo Qing came up to them. She looked at Ning Ruqiu anxiously." Miss Ning, it's bad. His Highness's condition is getting worse!"”
Ning Ruqiu frowned." How could that be?”
"Lady Ning, the physicians in the fu found wounds on his highness 'body other than those four teeth marks. He was injured by a hidden weapon. That hidden weapon was poisonous and mixed with the Golden Ring Snake's poison, speeding up his highness' poison!”
After Huo Qing said that, Ning Ruqiu remembered that when the Empress threw the golden ring snake at her, Ma Jie had thrown a hidden weapon at Si Tingye and Lan Mo. At that time, she was only focused on the golden ring snake and had forgotten about it. She didn't have time to think too much and said to Huo Qing,""Quickly bring me to see His Highness." He then looked at Si Hengqing." Do you still remember the antidote for the golden ring snake? Hurry up and get me some medicinal herbs!"
Si Hengqing nodded." There are still some leftover herbs from before. I'll bring them over for you immediately.”Without hesitation, he quickly headed to the pharmacy.
Ning Ruqiu nodded and followed Huo Qing to Si Tingye's room. There were already many doctors in the residence gathered in the room, but they were all helpless against the poison that Si Tingye was suffering from. They couldn't even control it.
Si Tingye's eyes were tightly shut, and his face was black with a tinge of abnormal paleness. It was extremely terrifying, and his body trembled from time to time. Ning Ruqiu took his pulse, and only then did she realize that there was another type of poison in Si Tingye's body besides the Golden Ring Snake Poison. This poison wasn't strong, but it easily reacted with other poisons and aggravated the poison. The Golden Ring Snake Poison in Si Tingye's body was undoubtedly the kind of poison that could be aggravated!
"Bring me a knife. I'll let him bleed first!”Ning Ruqiu ordered coldly. Although Si Tingye's condition was critical, as a doctor, she had to remain calm. Otherwise, she would only bring disaster to others!
"Bleeding again?" Huo Qing hesitated. He had seen Ning Ruqiu suck blood for Si Tingye previously. The large pool of blood was almost one-third of Si Tingye's blood. If she continued, Huo Qing was worried that Si Tingye would die from excessive blood loss instead of being poisoned.
Ning Ruqiu looked coldly at Huo Qing." Hurry up if you don't want to kill your lord!"”
Ning Ruqiu's voice was bone-chilling. Huo Qing shuddered and didn't dare to be negligent. She immediately turned around and took the scalpel from the doctors.
Ning Ruqiu didn't hesitate and cut Si Tingye's ten fingertips. She then began to deal with the parts of Si Tingye's hand, cutting off the flesh that had been corroded and necrotic by the poison.
Ning Ruqiu's actions were done in one go, causing the eyes of several senior doctors in the prince's residence to twitch involuntarily. However, when they saw Si Tingye's complexion clearly improve, they had to admire Ning Ruqiu's boldness and brilliant medical skills.
At this time, Si Hengqing finally rushed back. Ning Ruqiu chased everyone out like last time and began to concoct the antidote by herself.
A day and a night passed very quickly. There were a few times when Huo Qing could not help but want to push open the door to take a look, but Si Hengqing blocked her every time. The reason was very simple." Third sister-in-law would definitely not harm Third Brother."”
After all, Si Hengqing was the Sixth Prince of the current dynasty. Although Huo Qing was unwilling, she could only leave with a bitter smile. Si Tingye and Ning Ruqiu had always been like fire and water. Si Hengqing did not know, but he knew very well. However, Si Hengqing had firmly guarded the door by himself and had never even gone to the toilet. Huo Qing could only smile bitterly and secretly pray that Ning Ruqiu was not an ungrateful woman.
Another day passed. At night, Si Tingye's room door finally opened. Ning Ruqiu walked out with a haggard expression. Si Hengqing happily jumped over." Third sister-in-law, how was it?”
Ning Ruqiu glanced at the crowd outside the house and rubbed her eyebrows.""His Highness is fine now, but he needs to rest. You'd better not disturb him.”
Hearing this, everyone stopped their thoughts of going in to take a look. However, there was a hint of something else in their eyes when they looked at Ning Ruqiu. Si Hengqing went forward to support Ning Ruqiu and said,""Third sister-in-law, you're so good to third brother. You've worked hard.”
Seeing Si Hengqing's attitude, Ning Ruqiu was more respectful to him than Si Tingye. Ning Ruqiu laughed and waved her hand."He was injured because he saved me. I did this because I didn't want to owe him a favor.”
Si Hengqing nodded in understanding." I know, I know. You two are deeply in love, care for each other, and help each other!”
Ning Ruqiu was speechless. She knew that she couldn't convince Si Hengqing, so she couldn't be bothered to argue with him anymore and allowed him to help her back to Yi Ting Residence. Xiao Tao and Zixi were both here. It seemed that the Emperor had woken up.
Sure enough, the next day, just as the sky started to brighten, Prince Ye started to make a ruckus. Xiao Tao came in to help Ning Ruqiu change and said,"Miss, do you know that the emperor has already woken up? Today, he summoned his highness into the palace. I heard from Steward Huo that the emperor is going to punish the empress and clear the name of our wangfu.”
Ning Ruqiu nodded. This was expected and there was nothing strange about it. However, Xiao Tao continued,"Miss, I've heard from Zixi that it's all thanks to you that the prince's mansion was able to turn the situation around. Do you think his highness will reward you and make you his princess consort?”
Ning Ruqiu looked at Xiao Tao indifferently." Xiao Tao, I want to leave."”
"Ah?" Xiao Tao did not react for a moment, and her mouth was wide open.
Ning Ruqiu nodded firmly." I'm serious. I want to leave. What about you? Are you coming with me?"”
Xiao Tao immediately grabbed Ning Ruqiu's sleeve and nodded firmly." Of course, I'll be wherever Miss is!"”
Ning Ruqiu smiled slightly and patted Xiao Tao's head. Then, she sat down and picked up the comb, saying,""Xiao Tao, go pack your luggage. I'll do it myself.”
Xiao Tao nodded. She didn't ask Ning Ruqiu why she was leaving or where she was going. She obediently went back to her room to pack her luggage. Her thoughts were very simple. Just as she said, she would be where Ning Ruqiu was.
Ning Ruqiu simply combed a hair accessory for herself. Just as she was about to get up, she heard footsteps coming in. Ning Ruqiu turned her head curiously." Xiao Tao, how did you pack up so quickly?"”
The person who came was not Xiao Tao, but Zixi. Zixi looked at Ning Ruqiu with red eyes." Miss, don't you want me anymore?"”
Ning Ruqiu was stunned. She looked at Zixi and hesitated for a few seconds before saying,""Zixi, are you really willing to come with me?”
Zixi nodded vigorously." Of course. Miss saved my life and is willing to keep me by her side. Zixi is extremely grateful and will follow Miss to the death!”
"Zixi, you have to think carefully. This trip is not to go sightseeing, nor to enjoy ourselves. Once we go, we will be far away from glory, wealth, and prosperity. We may live a simple life from now on and have to start from scratch. Are you sure you want to follow me? With your ability, I believe you can live well on your own.”
"No!" Zixi shook her head firmly." Just as Miss said, this trip may be a simple life. If you want to start from scratch, you can't lack helpers. I'm willing to follow you and help you."”
"Oh!" Ning Ruqiu nodded." Then sit for a while."”
Hearing this, Zixi thought that Ning Ruqiu still didn't want her to follow her, and her small face instantly fell. Ning Ruqiu looked at Zixi who was about to cry and couldn't help but laugh."What's wrong?"
Zixi lowered her head." Miss, do you still not want me to follow you?”
This time, it was Ning Ruqiu's turn to be puzzled." I didn't say that."”
Zixi raised her head when she heard this, but she still looked unhappy." If Miss agrees to let me go with you, you won't stop me from going back to pack my luggage and let me sit here."”
Ning Ruqiu's face darkened. For the first time, she felt that explaining to others was really too exhausting. It was better to be a little colder in the future, but she still asked,""What's wrong? Didn't you put your luggage with Xiao Tao's?”
Zixi was stunned and looked at Ning Ruqiu with slight doubt. At this moment, Xiao Tao ran in with four or five bags in her hands. Seeing Zixi standing rooted to the ground, she couldn't help but throw two of them into Zixi's hands and said,"You're too heartless. Why didn't you come and take your luggage when you saw me carrying so much?”
"My luggage?" Zixi was obviously not in the right state.
Xiao Tao rolled her eyes at Zixi and walked to Ning Ruqiu's side." Miss, let's go."”
Ning Ruqiu nodded and took a few steps forward to look at Zixi." What? Going back on his word? You don't want to leave again?"
" No, no." Zixi waved her hands repeatedly and wiped her tears with her hands." I…I…Miss, why did you let Xiao Tao help me pack my luggage?"”
Ning Ruqiu burst into laughter and held Zixi and Xiao Tao's hands at the same time.""I didn't ask Xiao Tao to pack your luggage. Xiao Tao did it herself. You see, even Xiao Tao can see that there are only the two of you by my side. How can I not bring you with me? The two of you are the closest people to me. Xiao Tao has always taken care of my food and daily life. During this period of time, you have passed on a lot of news for me and ran around without complaining. I have seen all of this. If you treat me sincerely, I will naturally treat you sincerely. Zixi, remember, In the future, the three of us will be a family!”
Zixi nodded in surprise and hugged Ning Ruqiu and Xiao Tao. All along, she had thought that she was just a tool in Ning Ruqiu's hands, a servant. She thought that her life was picked up by Ning Ruqiu, that Ning Ruqiu was magnanimous enough to keep it for her. She had never expected that Ning Ruqiu would treat her sincerely, but she was willing to go through fire and water for Ning Ruqiu, regardless of anything! How could Zixi not be happy to be acknowledged by Ning Ruqiu today?
"Alright, let's go." Ning Ruqiu patted Zixi's hand and the three of them walked out of the Imperial Residence together.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 28PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 56PM #Review: 1314mx Time:12120183: 00PM #
