Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 385
Chapter 385 Be Poisoned with a Gu
When the Empress saw Hua Fei leave, a faint smile flashed in her eyes. She slowly walked forward and walked to Rong Jin’s face. She first glanced at Yun Xiao, who was holding a piece of paper in her hand, and then at Rong Jin. Her eyes narrowed slightly, “Young Master Rong, since you have the guarantee of the fourth Miss Yun Clan, I will trust you once. I wonder if you are confident that you will be able to treat His Majesty?”
If she could really treat the Jin Emperor, she wouldn’t have lost today’s duel with Concubine Hua.
Rong Jin respectfully nodded to the Empress and said loudly, “Let’s wait for the grass dwellers to see His Majesty’s situation first.”
The Empress originally thought that Rong Jin would say that he was confident in treating the Jin Emperor, but she didn’t expect that she would also give an ambiguous explanation. However, Hua Fei was holding a miraculous doctor in her hand. If she didn’t find a miraculous doctor, it would appear that the Crown Prince was too weak. She could only nod her head and signal for Rong Jin to go over to take a look at the Jin Emperor’s condition.
He then turned to look at Zhou Jingxu, who was not far away. He saw Zhou Jingxu nodding at the Empress. If Zhou Jingxu hadn’t been sitting beside him and guaranteeing, the Empress wouldn’t have bothered so much. However, Zhou Jingxu also said that if Rong Jin couldn’t treat the Jin Emperor’s body well, then there might be no other way.
She didn’t know why Xiao Huang’er trusted Rong Jin so much, but she was also surprised. If Rong Jin’s medical skills were really good, he should have already become famous. Why would he do business?
However, no one knew the answer to this matter, and the Empress was also gambling.
Since the Jin Emperor’s health was not very good, rather than having Hua Fei and Zhou Jingyan pay attention in front of the Jin Emperor, it was better for her to join in. It was not clear who would win or lose.
As he watched Rong Jin walk to the bedside, even though he didn’t have the slightest bit of trust in Rong Jin, he had no choice but to trust him.
At this moment, everyone’s gazes in the room were all focused on Rong Jin. Imperial Concubine Hua’s gaze was filled with indescribable anger. She wished that Rong Jin could take action on this matter before she had an excuse to retaliate against the Empress.
When Yun Xiao heard Rong Jin’s footsteps stop beside the bed of the Jin Emperor, she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart, her heart reaching her throat.
Although she trusted Rong Jin’s medical skills, she was still worried.
She couldn’t help but take a step forward, but Qing Mo pulled on the corner of her clothes and brought it back. Seeing this, Yun Xiao knew that it was inappropriate to step forward at this time, so she waited at the back.
Because she couldn’t see Rong Jin’s actions, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed. If she didn’t see anything now, she might even be able to help.
However, the current her could only wait like this.
Time passed bit by bit, and everyone’s faces became slightly stuck.
Just because Rong Jin didn’t even have the pulse of the Jin Emperor, he directly stabbed a silver needle into the top of the Jin Emperor’s head and remained motionless.
And after such a long time, Rong Jin still didn’t move at all.
Impatience appeared on everyone’s faces. Imperial Concubine Hua couldn’t hold back any longer and immediately said, “Young Master Rong, is this the method you mentioned to save His Majesty? After such a long time, you didn’t move anything except a silver needle.”
Being questioned like this, Rong Jin only smiled faintly. However, his smile did not reach his eyes. He said softly, “Sometimes, a silver needle is enough to be worth the most precious medicinal ingredients.”
A burst of silver needles could save one’s life, but it could also take a person’s life.
Imperial Concubine Hua was furious in her heart. What was the use of such a silver needle?
The recipe for the antidote was in Zhou Jingyan’s hands. She did not believe that Rong Jin had a way to save the Jin Emperor. Moreover, the silver needle that Rong Jin inserted was no different from the silver needles used by other imperial doctors.
Since that was the case, there was nothing to worry about.
Imperial Concubine Hua smiled faintly at the Empress. Her forehead was covered in sweat and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. “Empress, this is just a profiteering businessman with the reputation of a miraculous doctor, cheating on food and drink. Do you think it’s necessary to continue waiting now?”
The Empress looked at Rong Jin as if he was still calm and motionless, and her heart became even more anxious. She wanted to urge Rong Jin several times, but Zhou Jingxu stopped her.
Despite the anxiety of the audience, Zhou Jingxu’s expression was calm and composed. There was no trace of panic on his small face. This was definitely many times better than the adults in this room.
Of course, there was another person in this room who was as calm as Zhou Jingxu, and that person was Yun Xiao, the greatest injurer from beginning to end.
At this moment, she had regained her composure, and her expression was somewhat complacent. It was as if she was just playing somewhere else, not in the Jin Emperor’s bedroom.
She couldn’t see it, but she heard that Rong Jin had already made his move. Since he had already made his move, she was very confident. In this way, she could rest assured.
After thinking like this, Yun Xiao became refreshed.
Seeing that Zhou Jingxu was still not nervous, the Empress said softly, “Why is Imperial Concubine Hua so anxious? Perhaps after Young Master Rong pulls out the divine doctor, His Majesty’s body will also recover. Is there something to be afraid of with such worries?”
Imperial Concubine Hua was aggressive, and the Empress’ aura did not diminish. The exchange of glances between the two of them was also a confrontation between women.
Of course, no one here was willing to join in such a struggle.
Rong Jin chuckled. He narrowed his eyes at the two of them. Seeing the silver needle above the Jin Emperor’s head gently move, He then took out a silver needle bag from his pocket and said, He pulled out five silver needles and sealed several large acupoints around the Jin Emperor’s body. Then, he turned his wrist. The golden cicada silk was like a poisonous snake as he swallowed the snake’s letter and bit one end of the silver needle. Rong Jin flicked his finger lightly on the silver needle. He saw that the golden cicada silk trembled in an extremely regular manner. After a few times, it emitted a few faint sounds.
After seeing this, no one was willing to speak anymore. Everyone’s attention was once again focused on Rong Jin.
After the silver needle stopped trembling, Rong Jin pressed his finger against the golden cicada silk and pushed forward bit by bit. He saw something on the Jin Emperor’s forehead slowly wriggling. When he saw this, some timid people had already shouted, but the people around him immediately blocked their mouths.
He was deeply afraid that this cry would delay Rong Jin’s diagnosis and treatment.
Everyone had never heard of Rong Jin’s Golden Needle Acupuncture Point before, and they all looked at Rong Jin in surprise.
Under everyone’s astonished gazes, Everyone could clearly see the little thing wriggling on the Jin Emperor’s forehead slowly crawling towards the silver needle above the new Emperor’s head. In the end, they couldn’t feel the movement of the little thing in their hair. They pushed it one by one, wanting to see it, but they were afraid that it would affect the diagnosis and treatment, so they could only stretch out their heads and keep looking.
Especially the imperial physician who came with the Empress. He stared at Rong Jin without turning his eyes, wanting to see what method Rong Jin had used to save the Jin Emperor. However, after a while, they still didn’t know how to handle this silver needle.
The veteran imperial physician immediately recognized that Rong Jin was using the long-lost Golden Needle Technique. This method was dangerous, but it was the best method to use silver needles.
Rong Jin’s expression was indifferent. There was still a faint smile on his face. He slowly stood up, He then walked to the top of the Jin Emperor’s head and said, He pulled out the silver needle with lightning speed, As the silver needle was pulled out, there was actually a one-inch-square bug at the top of the silver needle. The bug’s entire body was dark, and there were countless antennae beneath its body. Even though it was stabbed by the silver needle, it was still struggling non-stop. The densely packed antennae wrapped the silver needle around it.
When Rong Jin saw this, he immediately instructed, “Bring me a glass of wine.”
Everyone was dumbfounded, unable to react. Who could have imagined that the Jin Emperor would actually have such a small insect in his body?
Zhou Jingxu’s expression was natural as he immediately pushed Eunuch Wei beside him and said, “Hurry up and get the wine!”
Although his voice was low, it was extremely dignified. Everyone in the room seemed to have woken up from their dreams. Eunuch Wei was even more anxious to get the wine. His fat body trembled. He quickly took a wine jar, then took another wine bowl and walked to Rong Jin’s side. He handed the wine jar to Rong Jin.
Rong Jin immersed the silver needle and the little bug in the wine. He saw the little bug quickly disintegrate, and its entire body emitted a faint black color. Not long after, his entire body was completely merged into the wine.
Everyone stared blankly at Zhou Jingyan. A faint peculiarity appeared in his gaze. His eyes narrowed dangerously as a cold light shot out.
Imperial Concubine Hua involuntarily looked at Rong Jin, her eyes filled with a trace of decadence. She did not expect that Rong Jin would know how the Jin Emperor’s body was without even taking a pulse for the Jin Emperor.
The Empress quickly walked forward and glanced at the wine bowl. Her face was pale and her voice was cold. “What is this?”
After Rong Jin finished speaking, he turned around and put away the Golden Cicada Silk from the Jin Emperor’s body. He also put away all the silver needles on the Jin Emperor’s body.
However, the word Gu Poison stiffened everyone in the bedroom hall for a moment. The Jin Emperor was actually poisoned by the Gu Poison!
The Empress’s expression also changed slightly. “Someone, seal up the entire palace, especially Chun Fu Palace. We must thoroughly investigate and find the person who poisoned His Majesty!”
After the Empress gave the order, someone immediately went down to do it.
The Jin Emperor fell ill, and now the empress and Prince were in charge of the overall situation. If Prince did not object, the empress’ words would be like an imperial edict.
After Eunuch Wei sent people down to investigate, the Empress looked at Rong Jin and asked, “Young Master Rong, can you tell me when His Majesty will wake up? When did this Gu poison get laid?”
“The poison was planted a year ago, However, at that time, the Gu Poison was still a young Gu. In addition to taking medicine for a long period of time, it could help the Gu insect grow up, but it could also suppress the Gu insect and keep it unconscious. However, the medicine that had been given to the Gu insect recently was gone. There was nothing else that could suppress the Gu Poison. In addition, the Emergency Fire Attack had caused His Majesty to fall ill.
After he finished speaking, he looked at the Jin Emperor. Then, he took out a medicine and gave it to the Jin Emperor. Only then did he say, “The Jin Emperor will wake up very soon.”
