Chapter 48 Husband guides wife
After careful consideration in the middle of the night, Shen Ning finally decided to detoxify Ji Yucang.
Firstly, it was because he was kind to her, and secondly, she was the regent and temporarily lived in the regent's palace. She would inevitably have to rely on the regent's power in the future.
Thirdly, she just didn't want the Queen Mother and the Queen's party to succeed.
She went to bed late last night, but it didn't stop Shen Ning from getting up early.
When she came to Linzhi Hall again, Ling Feng did not stop her and opened the door to Shen Ning respectfully.
Ji Yucang was sitting in Linzhi Hall reviewing memorials. The lights in the hall were brightly lit, making the whole room bright.
The noble and noble man just sat down casually, and boundless coldness and coercion flowed out of his body.
Looking up and catching a glimpse of Shen Ning coming in, Ji Yucang's deep gaze fell on her eyebrows: "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"How did you get it?"
"There are some green shadows at the moment."
"It's true that I didn't sleep well." Shen Ning walked over and sat down next to the desk. "Stretch out your hand and I will feel your pulse."
Ji Yucang was silent after hearing this, put down his pen, stretched out his wrist and put it in front of her, and thoughtfully lifted up the sleeves of his robe: "Why can't you sleep well?"
Shen Ning said calmly: "The detoxification matter is a bit complicated. I'm considering whether to take the risk."
Ji Yucang's eyebrows moved slightly: "Adventure?"
"I don't know what the poison in you is called because I haven't studied it, but I can identify the ingredients in the antidote, and I can also develop a new antidote." Shen Ning said calmly, "Take out the antidote. There are poisonous ingredients in the medicine. It is not difficult to make an antidote. The difficulty is that there is still a lack of medicine. "
Ji Yucang frowned: "Yaoyin?"
"Do you know why you have been looking for so many doctors but can't find anyone who can actually develop an antidote?" Shen Ning solved the mystery for him, "Because it requires the use of Gu and the blood of a girl."
Ji Yucang's expression paused slightly.
"It must be blood mixed with the smell of fragrant poison. When they hear the word 'poison', most people's faces turn pale with fear. To make the antidote, the doctor needs a girl who is willing to donate blood and is good at feeding poison. And the technique must be just right to ensure that the timing of blood collection is accurate and the girl’s life is safe.”
"It's easier said than done. Many doctors are wary of many things and don't even dare to try it."
"All the ingredients in the antidote that the emperor gave you are correct, but there is more aphrodisiac that should not be present, and there is less medicine, so it can only relieve your pain, but it makes you more poisoned. It goes deeper and deeper, until there is no way to save it, and medicine and stone have no effect. "
Ji Yucang narrowed his eyes, his face was indifferent and calm, as if he had expected this result.
Ling Feng walked in with the brewed tea and saw Shen Ning taking Ji Yucang's pulse without any expression on her face.
After offering tea in silence, he quietly retreated.
After yesterday's silver needle detoxification, he had more respect for Shen Ning's abilities, and it was no longer strange to see her good at anything.
Shen Ning retracted her hand, picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "The point I was struggling with last night was whether I should take a risk for you."
Ji Yucang was silent for a moment, then realized what she meant, and frowned: "You want to use yourself as a medicine?"
"Um."
"No need." Ji Yucang refused without thinking, "I will not let you take this risk."
"When I tell you this, it means that I have already made a decision, and it was a decision that I carefully considered last night." Shen Ning said in a calm tone, "You have no room to interfere."
She wasn't here to ask his opinion, but to tell him the results.
Ji Yucang tightened his lips and darkened his eyes: "I will not allow you to do this."
Shen Ning raised her eyebrows: "Don't you understand what I said? I have already made a decision, and you have no right to stop it."
"Shen Ning, don't forget your identity." Ji Yucang stood up and looked at her condescendingly, "You are my wife, and your husband is your wife. You'd better obey what I say."
Shen Ning sneered: "So what if I don't listen?"
Ji Yucang looked at her coldly, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
It's a pity that the regent's cold and ruthless aura can scare others, but not Shen Ning.
She was never one to be scared.
"I took your pulse just now. You are fine today. If you want to practice martial arts, you can practice martial arts. If you want to criticize me, I can criticize you. But it is best to rest." Shen Ning stood up, calmly turned and left, "Yes ”
When she reached the door, she turned back and looked at him: "I never like others forcing me to do something, or strictly telling me not to do something. This will only be counterproductive and make me develop a rebellious mentality."
After saying this, she opened the door and walked out.
However, before stepping out of the courtyard, the housekeeper came in a hurry: "Princess."
Shen Ning paused slightly: "What's wrong?"
"Mrs. Qin went to the palace early in the morning to complain to the Queen Mother, saying that the regent had lynched Mr. Qin. The Queen Mother made a fuss in front of the emperor and said she wanted to give an explanation to the Qin family. The emperor then issued an order to invite the prince and princess to the palace."
Shen Ning frowned, not expecting Mrs. Qin to be so stupid.
Qin Yanshu committed such a heinous crime that was outraged by both humans and gods, and a beating on him was just a slight punishment. How dare she bring the matter to the Queen Mother?
Are you afraid that Qin Yanshu's evil deeds will be exposed too late?
"Prepare the carriage." Ji Yucang walked out of the palace and ordered calmly, "The king and the princess will enter the palace together."
"Yes." The butler took the order and left.
Shen Ning turned to look at him casually, raising her eyebrows slightly: "You want to enter the palace now?"
Ji Yucang looked at her expressionlessly. He was obviously tall and thin, with a stern look on his face, but in Shen Ning's eyes, there was a hint of pretentious coldness.
She raised her lips and went back to her room to change clothes.
After a cup of tea, Ji Yucang and Shen Ning got into the carriage and headed to the palace.
