First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 899 Detoxification is successful (second update)

This ice is not the thick ice on the ice sheet, and it can be passed through from above.

Gu Jiao frowned: "Then we can only take the land route... But is it possible to take the land route in time? No matter what, we have to go whether it's too late or not!"

She paused and said, "Call someone from the Shadow Department!"

"yes!"

 Hearing the news, he responded.

Most of the Shadow Division followed Liao Chen to fight against the Jin Kingdom, and there were not many people left in the camp. The shadow guard who was called over by Wen Ren rushed over, his surname was Cen, and his name was Yang. Liao Chen specially arranged it in the camp for Gu Jiao to contact him. of.

Cen Yang saluted Gu Jiao: "Young commander."

People in the camp called her Commander-in-Chief. At first she didn't understand, and she thought it was because of her accent. Everyone called her Commander-in-Chief Xiao. But when she found out later, it was too late to order her to change her name.

 Simply let them do it.

Gu Jiao asked: "The Shadow Division once stayed in Zhao Kingdom. Were there any secret sentries along the way?"

“Yes, there are people from the Shadow Department near every inn. Is the young commander trying to find out some information?”

 “I want to send something to the capital of Zhao Kingdom as soon as possible!”

"The capital of Zhao Kingdom?" Cen Yang came to the table, looked at the map on the table, pointed, and said, "The fastest way is to take the waterway from Tongzhou Port. Unfortunately, Tongzhou Inlet was frozen last night... we can only We’re going to Yunzhou. The inlets in Yunzhou haven’t frozen yet, but looking at the weather, it will soon.”

Gu Jiao murmured: "You mean to board the ship before the Yunzhou Bay freezes?"

Cen Yang nodded: "Yes, the water near the port is shallow and the flow speed is slow, so it is most likely to freeze. The center of the river flow is not that fast."

Gu Jiao said seriously: "I know, I'm leaving for Yunzhou now!"

 It is a full three hundred miles from here to Yunzhou. In such bad weather, the difficulty of traveling will increase.

 She must choose the most suitable horse.

The Black Wind King seemed to feel something, and came to the door of the camp without hesitation.

But she can no longer ride the Black Wind King. Since the Black Wind King came to the border, it has gone through more than ten battles, large and small. Especially in the duel that captured the south gate of Pucheng, it was very seriously injured. .

 It did not rest immediately after that, but fought alongside her for a long time.

 She couldn't risk it anymore.

 Gu Jiao went to the stable.

Black Wind Cavalry is the earliest and most elite and powerful force in the Xuanyuan Army. However, this force has been scarred by too many desperate battles before reinforcements arrived.

 The war horses in their prime need to rest.

 But the moment Gu Jiao walked in, all the war horses immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

 They can still fight again!

Gu Jiao pinched her fingers.

"Young commander..." Wen Renchong brought over a ten-year-old war horse, "Let him alone. He only fought in one battle and suffered a slight injury. He has already recovered."

Gu Jiao asked: "Are there any uninjured horses?"

Wen Renchong said: "Yes, they have all gone to the front line, or they are the little black wind riders who are too young to transport grain and grass."

At this moment, a three-year-old Black Wind Cavalry ran over and jumped a few times in front of Gu Jiao, as if to show Gu Jiao how strong he was.

Gu Jiao recognized it.

It was a little Black Wind Rider who fell into a waterfall while crossing the mountains. The Black Wind King rescued it in time, but the food and grass on its back were lost.

 It was depressed until Gu Jiao put the herbs she picked on its horse.

“It’s only two months old, and it seems to have grown a lot.” Gu Jiao checked its body and found that it was very strong. Even though it was only over three years old, its entire body was full of explosive power.

“Little Black Wind Rider, it’s up to you whether you can deliver the antidote to the ship before the ice freezes.”

 …

 Three hundred miles to Yunzhou, Xiao Heifengqi used his speed to the extreme.

The winter was very cold, it snowed everywhere, and the roads were dangerous and difficult. The little Heifeng rider skidded several times and almost split his legs, and the hairs on his hair were all on edge!

 But it was not afraid, did not flinch, or even slowed down.

Facing the howling cold wind, it was almost flying as it galloped along the endless official road.

In terms of qualifications, it is not the best. The horses with the best qualifications that Gu Jiao has seen so far are Black Wind King and Xiao Shiyi.

 However, this little black wind rider has an unyielding will and an unyielding fighting spirit.

Meet one person and one horse fell down, but it got up without saying a word and continued!

It took Gu Jiao and continued to run wildly!

 In the wind and snow, it is its own king!

 Three hundred miles of wind and snow, even if the Black Wind King was not injured, it would be a bit overwhelming.

 Little Heifengqi's physical strength was gradually exhausted.

Gu Jiao's hands were already frozen, her cheeks and lips were numb from the cold, and she could hardly speak: "Little Black Fengqi, hold on a little longer, Yunzhou is coming!"

Little Black Fengqi panted, gritted his teeth, raised his shaking body, and ran toward Yunzhou's tower like a flying arrow—

 …

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed all night in the capital of Zhao State.

　　When Yujin got up before dawn, she could hardly even push the door open.

"Is the snow so heavy? The door is blocked... Come here!" she called.

A rough servant came over with a shovel, shoveled away the ice and snow in front of her door, and opened the door for her: "I was just saying that I would come to shovel the snow, but I didn't expect you to get up so early."

Yu Jin didn't mean to blame her. She did get up early. She looked in the direction of the south chamber and asked softly: "Young Master, are you up?"

The servant woman said: "It seems not, I didn't hear anything."

Yujin nodded: "I understand, go and do your work."

"Hey." The servant girl went to clear the snow in the yard, her movements were very gentle and did not disturb anyone.

In the south wing room, Shangguan Qing woke up early. The mother and son talked too late last night, and it was only after midnight that Princess Xinyang could not resist the sleepiness of pregnancy and fell asleep.

Shangguan Qing did not take the antidote from the Imperial Master's Palace, and was suffering from the poison in his body, unable to sleep for a moment.

Of course, he didn’t want to sleep at first.

 He looked quietly at Princess Xinyang beside him.

This is his mother, the woman who passed away at the Gate of Hell when she was ten months pregnant and brought him into this world.

 She is very gentle.

Although it may be very strict, you don’t have the chance to feel it, right?

It was almost dawn, and his increasingly uncomfortable body reminded him that he had to leave here as soon as possible.

 “Faster than expected…”

On the way here, I thought there were three days left, but when I was having dinner, I felt that there was only one day left.

but now-

 He covered his heart.

This place is going to explode and he can't breathe.

"elder brother."

Xiao Heng’s low voice came from outside the door.

Shangguan Qing wanted to respond to him, but was afraid of waking up Princess Xinyang.

 “I’m in.” Xiao Heng said.

The door was pushed open and Xiao Heng stepped in.

He saw Shangguan Qing sitting on the bedside, sweating. His face was too pale, his lips were black, and his whole body was shivering.

Xiao Heng's eyes darkened, he strode forward and hugged Shangguan Qing who fell down from the bed.

Shangguan Qing lay in his arms and said weakly: "Take...me away..."

Xiao Heng hugged him and looked at Princess Xinyang, who was on the bed with her eyes open and biting her fingers to prevent herself from crying. Her throat slid hard and said: "...Okay, I will take you away."

Xiao Heng helped Shangguan Qing up, put his hand on his neck, and walked towards the door step by step.

 The moment he crossed the threshold, Shangguan Qing's body softened and he slipped down.

Xiao Heng quickly hugged him: "Brother!"

 “Qing’er——”

All the strength of Princess Xinyang was shattered by this fall. She could no longer agree to his request. She didn't want him to die outside!

 Don't let him turn into a cold corpse in a deserted place!

 She rushed over, knelt on the ground and hugged Shangguan Qing, who was lifeless like a puppet.

"Qing'er... don't go... don't leave mother... don't... don't..."

The hot tears fell on his cheeks and fell on his eyes.

 A tear fell from his eyes.

Mom, I’m sorry.

 I can no longer be your son.

 I have no regrets about being born to you.

 Thank you for bringing me into this world.

 The world is so nice.

I love so much.

Princess Xinyang hugged her son tightly. She felt that she was losing him. Her heart was broken and tears fell down desperately: "Qing'er - Qing'er -"

 Xiao Heng turned around, his eyes red and swollen.

Yujin stood outside the door, covering her mouth tightly, but she couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes.

 Why...Why is God so cruel?

The princess only knew the young master for a day, and then she lost him again—

How many times will the princess experience the pain of losing a child?

Yujin cried sadly.

 The servants in the yard turned their faces away and secretly wiped away tears.

 There is nothing more cruel than this in the world...

　　哐婷!

 The door to the courtyard was kicked open with such force that the entire door panel fell on the bonsai planted by Princess Xinyang.

Your Majesty, just as the people were about to shout loudly, the man walked in with a dusty face: "His Royal Highness Zhang (Chang) Sun! An (I) Xi (Feng) Xiao (Little) Commander-in-Chief is here to die!"

 All the servants were startled, where did this... come from?

The master of the Shadow Division cleared his throat: "No! It was ordered by Commander Xiao to deliver the medicine! I'm worried, I'm talking nonsense!"

"Bring it quickly!" Xiao Heng understood. He couldn't wait for the other party to bring it to him, so he walked over.

The master of the Ministry of Shadow saw his portrait and gave him the medicine.

 A total of two bottles of medicine and a note.

 The note said - Feed the white fruit in the white jade bottle first, and then feed the brown pills in the jade bottle if there is no improvement. The fruit is Lithospermum fruit and is non-toxic; the brown pills come from the rhizomes of Lithospermum and are highly toxic.

　　 is Gu Jiao’s handwriting.

Without any doubt or hesitation, Xiao Heng rushed into the house, pried open his brother's mouth, and fed him the white fruit.

Xiao Heng looked solemn: "He can't eat it!"

 “Let me come!”

 The master of the Shadow Department rushed over, slapped Shangguan Qing on the chest with his palm, and the fruit slipped into his belly.

Princess Xinyang looked at the master of the Shadow Department in surprise, then turned to look at Xiao Heng, and asked blankly: "What did you give your brother to eat?"

Xiao Heng replied: "Jiaojiao sent someone to deliver...the medicine."

 It cannot be said to be an antidote now, because it may not necessarily work.

If that doesn't work, then Shangguan Qing will still have to take the lithospermum poison, which has a narrow chance of death.

　　What is meant by a narrow escape is a life of ten thousand deaths.

 And God knows what side effects will happen to those who survive?

 Shangguan Qing, you must get better.

 When you recover, I will call you brother as many times as you like.

 The person in Princess Xinyang's arms did not respond.

 Xiao Heng tremblingly picked up the jade porcelain bottle. Next, he could only try the comfrey poison...

“Hey, hey, hey! Knock (look)!” The master of the Shadow Department pointed at Shangguan Qing’s finger, “He’s moving! He’s moving!”

Mother and son both looked at his fingertips.

 Although it was very weak, it was indeed moving.

The master of the Shadow Department stared at his face and said, "Yintang is not that dark anymore!"

Princess Xinyang looked at Xiao Heng with tears in her eyes, and choked with sobs: "I can't understand what he said..."

Xiao Heng showed a relieved smile for the first time in a month: "He said that my brother's Yintang is no longer black... This is a sign that the poison in the body is gradually reducing... Lithospermum fruit has worked... There is no need to take Lithospermum poison..."

 The emotions in his chest were rolling, and they were even more turbulent than when Shangguan Qing was about to die.

It was endless repressed sadness, like an iceberg that could not melt under the sun. But at this time, the iceberg cracked, and joy spewed out from the ground like lava.

His internal organs were all hot.

"It really is…"

 He fell down on the ground, raised his hand and wiped his red eyes in confusion.

 Yintang stopped moving after it faded to a certain extent.

"What's going on?" Princess Xinyang's eyes were red, like a frightened child, "And why doesn't Qing'er wake up..."

 “It’s not that fast!” said the master of the Shadow Department. “The poison is too deep. We need to cure it slowly. Will there be much fruit?”

  Xiao Heng looked at the large bottle full of bottles and said, "More!"

The master of the Shadow Department said: "That's enough! If you feed him this every day, Zong will wake up!"

Xiao Heng carried Shangguan Qing back to bed.

In case he doesn't wake up, he will still need comfrey poison, he thought to himself.

Half an hour later, Shangguan Qing's breathing became smoother than before. His face was still pale, but the frown between his brows that had been frowned in pain had relaxed a lot.

 This shows that his discomfort has been greatly relieved.

Xiao Heng speculated that the reason why he was still drowsy was largely not because the toxins in his body could not be eliminated, but because he had been tortured by the poison for too long and he had not been able to have a good sleep.

It wasn't so uncomfortable now, and he fell asleep peacefully.

Xiao Heng said to Princess Xinyang, who was sitting by the bed with a bulging belly: "Mom, don't worry, this fruit has very good curative effects, and my brother will definitely recover."

"Yes." Princess Xinyang nodded with tears in her eyes. She felt that Qing'er was returning to her.

The joy of regaining something is indescribable. She has already lost Qing'er once. If she loses Qing'er a second time, she actually knows that she won't be able to survive.

Her throat was hoarse from crying, her eyes were swollen, and she was in an unbelievable state of embarrassment.

It would be disrespectful to entertain guests in this way.

She said to Xiao Heng: "That master, go and thank him on behalf of your mother. Shicai's mother was only concerned about feeling sad and ignored his injuries. His face seemed to be disfigured. After a while, the imperial doctor came over and asked the imperial doctor to also treat him. Take a look."

"good."

 His mother is really attentive.

It was so sad that my observation ability was not affected, but I just couldn't recall it at the time. When I calmed down and picked it up again, I could notice that something was wrong.

 This is a very rare and valuable ability.

The master of the Shadow Division is waiting in the corridor. He will have to go back to resume his life soon, and he must know the specific situation of Shangguan Qing.

Xiao Heng came out of the room, bowed his hands to him, and said, "Thank you very much for today. I haven't asked you for your name yet."

The master of the Shadow Department scratched his head: "I'm sorry for kicking in (your) door..."

Xiao Heng smiled: "It doesn't matter. You're injured. Go sit in the flower hall first. The doctor will be here soon."

Yu Jin has already gone to ask the imperial doctor, firstly to check Shangguan Qing's recovery, and secondly to look at the guest's injuries.

The master of the Shadow Department waved his hand: "I am in trouble! My name is Gao Qiang, Gao Qiang, a man with great martial arts skills! Your Highness, about the patient's condition... I have to reply!"

Gu Jiao didn't say who she was delivering the medicine to. The people in the Shadow Department were only responsible for handling matters and would not inquire without permission.

He said seriously: "Nen called him brother, but I didn't hear him!"

Xiao Heng smiled, and it didn't matter if he heard it. After experiencing so many things, he suddenly felt that it didn't matter whether the identities of the two brothers were concealed or not.

He said: "It's better to wait for the imperial doctor to come over first and listen to the imperial doctor's detailed diagnosis before you go back and recover."

Gao Qiang thought about it seriously and nodded: "Win!"

Xiao Heng looked out of the yard and asked, "By the way, didn't my father come back with you?"

 “Young father?” Gao Qiangxin said: Does the eldest grandson of Emperor Yan still have a father? I haven’t heard of it in so many years!

He replied, "No! I came here alone! Before me, I also brought you here alone! I didn't see my baby!"

“Strange, why would he entrust someone else with such an important antidote?” Xiao Heng felt more and more weird the more he thought about it.

It’s not that the people in the Shadow Department are unreliable, it’s just that it’s not in line with his father’s usual temperament.

 In the room, Princess Xinyang was wiping the sweat from Shangguan Qing's forehead with a handkerchief. When she heard this, she paused.

Gao Qiang suddenly slapped his head: "Ah! I remembered! Thank you for reminding me! Otherwise I would have forgotten! I sent it with you and there is a letter!"

 He took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Heng's hand.

Xiao Heng originally thought it was a letter from Gu Jiao, but when he opened it and took a look, he discovered that it was Long Yi's handwriting.

 Long Yi drew a glacier with charcoal.

 Under the glacier lies a man whose hands are covered in blood and whose bones are visible.

 Xiao Heng’s heart was suddenly grasped by a big palm—

"What happened?"

 Princess Xinyang came out.

Xiao Heng hid the painting behind his back without leaving a trace. Looking at his haggard mother who was about to give birth, he clenched his fists and said patiently: "...it's nothing."

 Princess Xinyang looked at Gao Qiang.

Gao Qiang didn't take it personally and said honestly: "Oh, Zuo is the one who went to the ice field to find medicine. He is dead and can't come back!"

 Princess Xinyang’s expression froze.

Xuanping Hou [holding a cigarette]: Cry for me, and I will come back to see you.
