Don’t Touch Me

Su Liang walked out of the palace alone and saw Duanmu Chen being supported by Chang An and getting out of a luxurious carriage. Google search reading

After becoming the prince, his clothes were different from before, and he looked more noble, literally.

Seeing Su Liang, Duanmu Chen came over with a smile on his lips, "General Su, no courtesy."

Su Liang cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness."

Ever since he received the imperial decree of canonization yesterday and his long-standing expectations have come true, everyone Duanmu Chen has met respects him. But hearing Su Liang call him "Prince" made him feel particularly pleasant.

In fact, the two have not communicated for a long time, and there is no serious cooperation. But as things have developed so far, judging from the results, Su Liang has half of the credit for Duanmu Chen's position as crown prince.

It's hard to bring up the inside story, so they just keep it tacit.

Duanmu Chen spoke again and asked about Gao Jiabao's body.

Su Liang shook his head, "I don't have a clue about the detoxification yet."

Duanmu Chen sighed, "It's a pity that those losers in the Tianlao left the spies uninhabited last night. Now we can't even find out who instigated them. The other party came for you, who can you think of?"

Su Liang frowned, "I have offended many people. Previously, I encountered a somewhat similar assassination in Xunyang City..."

Duanmu Chen's eyes flashed slightly, and he instantly understood what Su Liang was implying.

The two exchanged a look, Su Liang took his leave, and Duanmu Chen entered the palace.

…

When he saw Duanmu Yi, Duanmu Chen seemed to mention it unintentionally. After the letter from the Wan family, there was no movement, and they could not find out where Duanmu Sheng was hiding.

As soon as Duanmu Yi heard Duanmu Sheng's name, his expression turned ugly, "Keep looking!"

Duanmu Chen said respectfully, "Yes. My son is now a little worried that the eldest brother will be taken advantage of by some people from the Liang Kingdom or the Yan Kingdom. In that case, the consequences will be really disastrous."

Duanmu Yi's eyes narrowed, and he naturally knew that what Duanmu Chen said was not impossible.

"Just now, my son met General Su at the gate of the palace and asked Mr. Gao. I heard that the poison was very difficult. He was enthusiastic about joining the army to defend the country, but he suffered such an unreasonable disaster. The spy's methods were really vicious. Fortunately, General Su was not hit, and happened to be with Mr. Gao at the time, so he was able to restrain him in time, otherwise many people might have been killed in vain." Duanmu Chen said in a deep voice, "I think the mastermind behind this matter may be. I have a personal vendetta against General Su, and I am not here for Qian Guo."

Generally speaking, when talking about spies, especially those who infiltrate the army, the default is that they are sent by the enemy.

But this time the spy did not poison the water or the big pot of rice in the military camp, but targeted Su Liang alone, and the poison itself was completely directed at Su Liang himself.

Therefore Duanmu Chen's speculation is very reasonable.

When Duanmu Yi heard this, he immediately thought of a person, the missing Duanmu Sheng. He had a deep personal feud with Su Liang, and he had sent people to assassinate her many times before. The last time he took advantage of Su Liang's goodwill, his methods were sinister, which was completely consistent with the characteristics of the mastermind behind this poisoning incident, and he was at least one of the most suspected people. one.

In addition, Duanmu Chen had just mentioned Duan Mu Sheng, and Duan Mu Yi's anger towards his son had not dissipated, so he naturally put the two things together and thought about them. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was Duan Mu Sheng who did it, and he might have done it. There is secret cooperation with some people in Liang or Yan countries, and the purpose is naturally to subvert the imperial power of Qian Kingdom and support him to ascend to power. But if this is the case, Duanmu Sheng is just a stupid chess piece!

Duanmu Chen saw Duanmu Yi's gloomy face and knew that his goal was achieved, so he stopped talking and started talking about other things.

Duanmu Chen was actually not sure whether Duanmu Sheng was still alive, but that didn't matter. Life or death was no longer a threat to him. The purpose of his behavior was to crush Duanmu Sheng to set off himself and gain more trust from Duanmu Yi. After all, he is just a prince, and he also has adult and soon-to-be adult brothers.

…

When Su Liang returned home, she went to see Gao Jiabao first. He was still asleep, and his hands and feet were tied to the bedposts with ropes to prevent him from going crazy and hurting others when he woke up.

Gao Jiabao's parents are here.

Gao Mu's eyes were red and swollen, and she was wiping his hands with a wet handkerchief. Su Liang greeted Gao Mu, and she was also in a daze.

Su Liang felt depressed and planned to go back and study the antidote, but Father Gao followed him out.

"General Su, tell me the truth, can our baby survive?" Father Gao originally looked calm, but halfway through his words, his eyes filled with water.

Su Liang's heart sank slightly, "Uncle Gao, Jiabao's life is not in danger for the time being. I will try my best to save him. I have also asked my friends to help find an antidote."

Hearing this, Father Gao let out a long sigh, "I understand, thanks for your hard work, you must save him, otherwise our whole family will..."

The words were not finished, but Su Liang understood. Gao Jiabao is the only child of three generations of the Gao family. He has been frail and sick since he was a child. It is impossible for outsiders to know the hardships of being able to support him to such a large age.

As the grandson of an imperial physician, Gao Jiabao has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. It was also the master that his grandfather and parents paid a lot of money to make him stronger.

When Gao Jiabao went to take the martial arts exam, his family was opposed to it, but he finally agreed. Because he was injured, the elders in his family were determined not to allow him to join the army, but they couldn't resist his own insistence and finally allowed him to enter the military camp and agreed not to go to the battlefield. But I didn’t expect that such a thing could happen in the Forbidden Army camp far away from the border...

From beginning to end, no one in the Gao family blamed Su Liang, but this made her feel even more guilty.

When Su Liang returned to her yard, she smelled a scent.

Xing Yusheng came out of the kitchen, with some carbon ash on her face. She glanced at Su Liang and went back immediately, "Qing'er, your sister Su is back."

"Sister Su, I stewed pork ribs soup for you. Wash your hands and eat while it's hot before you get busy!" Lin Xueqing ran out with an apron tied around her waist.

"Okay." Su Liang didn't have much appetite, but she didn't want to refuse their kindness. "I'll eat a little. If there's any left, send it to Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao."

"Don't worry, there's everything!" Lin Xueqing said and went back to the kitchen.

Soon, Su Liang drank the delicious lotus root and pork ribs soup. Lin Xueqing said it was her mother's secret recipe.

"I want the recipe." Su Liang said.

Lin Xueqing blurted out, "Sister Su, who are you going to make it for after learning it?" When she thought of Ning Jing, she looked lonely again, sighed and said, "I will write the recipe for Sister Su later. I just figured it out recently. I always made it wrong before. The lotus root was dug from the lotus pond in the Marquis's mansion this morning."

Lin Xueqing went out, and only Su Liang was left in the room. She said to herself silently, "Of course I made it for someone. I hope he will come back soon."

When Su Liang was assassinated in Xunyang City, she was thinking that she was too dependent on Gu Ling, which was not good.

What is happening now makes Su Liang completely forget those unrealistic ideas. She is very glad to have Gu Ling by her side, otherwise she really doesn't know what to do.

After eating the pork rib soup, Su Liang opened the "Poison Sutra" again. This book was given to her by Xing Yusheng from Mr. Qin, and it was also her enlightenment of poison techniques. The Xiaoyao Pills she made before were the recipes in this book.

Since there was no clue, Su Liang planned to study Xiaoyao Pills carefully. It must have something in common with the poison that Gao Jiabao was poisoned with.

However, there is no antidote for Xiaoyao Pills in the "Poison Sutra". Because the effect of this poison is not long-lasting, it will lose its effect after twelve hours, and the poisoned person will recover as usual, as if nothing has happened, and there is no serious damage to the body.

Su Liang's current idea is to make an antidote for Xiaoyao Pills first. Even if it cannot remove the poison in Gao Jiabao's body, as long as it can relieve the poisoning, there is hope to buy time and wait for Gu Ling to bring back the antidote.

For four consecutive days, Su Liang did not leave the courtyard except for acupuncture for Gao Jiabao.

Xing Yusheng sent all the medicinal materials from the Xing family and the Qin Guogong Mansion to Su Liang. Old Lady Xing and Old Master Qin both support this. No matter how good the medicinal materials are, they don't understand medical skills. If they really get sick or injured, they still have to rely on Su Liang for treatment. Therefore, the higher Su Liang's medical skills and poison skills are, it is definitely a good thing for them.

Finally, on the fifth day, Su Liang made the antidote for Xiaoyao Pills.

But because she had never used it before, she was not sure of its effect, so she did not dare to give it to Gao Jiabao, who was already poisoned.

Someone had to try the medicine. Su Liang was willing to do it, but she could not save herself if something went wrong, and no one would save her, so she had to find someone else.

Given that the toxicity of Xiaoyao Pills only lasted for twelve hours, even if she did not take the antidote, she would be fine by then, so her life was not in danger.

Su Liang found the brothers Qi Yan and Qi Jun, explained the whole story, and asked them for help. She would reward them handsomely after the matter was completed. She also said that if they did not want to, they could refuse, and she would find another way and would not tell Xing Yusheng.

As a result, the Qi brothers almost fought over who would help Su Liang test the medicine...

"Anyway, you won't die. With Miss Su here, there's nothing to be afraid of. I'm the eldest brother, I'll do it!" Qi Yan insisted, and before Qi Jun could say anything, he continued, "You helped Miss Su last time, you must give me this chance, otherwise I won't be able to ask Miss Su for anything one day!"

Qi Jun heard this and stopped arguing with Qi Yan, and the matter was settled.

Besides Su Liang and the Qi brothers, only Xing Yusheng knew about this. And they all thought of the symptoms of the second prince Duanmu Ao and the fifth prince Duanmu Che that were similar to the Xiaoyao Pills mentioned by Su Liang, and guessed something, but they all tacitly didn't mention it.

Su Liang was not afraid of them knowing, they were all trustworthy people, and those things had long passed, and there was no evidence left.

In the room next door where Ning Jing originally lived, Qi Yan was tied to a chair by Qi Jun with a rope, smiling at Su Liang, "Miss Su, I'm ready, you're welcome!"

Su Liang nodded, "Don't worry, nothing will happen." She was absolutely sure about Xiaoyao Pills.

Qi Jun took the black pill handed over by Su Liang and asked Qi Yan to take it.

A moment later, Qi Yan showed symptoms of unconsciousness, began to talk nonsense, and struggled on the chair.

Qi Jun frowned, "Miss Su, give my brother the antidote quickly!"

Su Liang handed over another black pill, Qi Jun fed it to Qi Yan, but he spit it out. Qi Jun quickly picked it up from the ground, wiped it with his sleeve, pinched Qi Yan's chin, and forced him to swallow it.

Qi Yan gradually calmed down, and after about a quarter of an hour, his eyes became clear again.

Qi Jun looked delighted, "The antidote works! Great!"

Qi Yan glanced at his wrists that were red from the rope, "How long has it been?"

"Only a quarter of an hour. Brother, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Qi Jun said as he untied the rope for Qi Yan.

Qi Yan moved his hands and feet, stood up, and rubbed his temples, "My head hurts a little."

Su Liang felt Qi Yan's pulse, "It will be fine after a rest."

She felt that the antidote was not particularly perfect, but from a practical point of view, it had achieved its purpose.

Su Liang thanked the Qi brothers again and promised that if they needed anything in the future, they could just ask her.

Qi Jun and Qi Yan left. It was still early. Su Liang planned to adjust the ingredients of the antidote before giving it to Gao Jiabao.

Unknowingly, she was busy until late at night.

When Su Liang was hesitating whether to wait or let Gao Jiabao try the antidote for Xiaoyao Pills first, Qi Jun came and said that Gao Jiabao had woken up again. Su Liang's acupuncture control was getting worse and worse, and the interval between his poison attacks was getting shorter and shorter.

"Miss Su, Mr. Gao vomited black blood." Qi Jun looked anxious. This was not a good sign.

Su Liang's heart tightened, and she rushed out with the antidote for Xiaoyao Pills she had just made.

As soon as she entered the door, Su Liang heard Gao Jiabao's painful roar. He was already very thin, and the ropes that bound his hands and feet seemed to be strangling his bones, which made people feel distressed.

Fortunately, the old doctor Gao was persuaded to rest and was not here at the moment. Gao's mother fell ill in the past two days, and only Gao's father was there. He pressed Gao Jiabao's arm and called his name, but it was a pity that it was of no use.

Seeing Gao Jiabao vomiting blood again, Su Liang could only bite the bullet and give him the antidote.

Then Su Liang stared at Gao Jiabao's face, holding his pulse, and was worried about something unexpected.

The mania and murderous intent in Gao Jiabao's eyes gradually faded, and his pulse became stable, and Su Liang's heart was relieved a little.

Qi Jun breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that the antidote is useful!"

Gao's father's face finally regained some color, and he kept saying, "Thank God, thank God!"

But who knew that Su Liang had just let go of Gao Jiabao's arm and stood up, and his body trembled violently, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out! His body also began to twitch non-stop!

Gao's father was so scared that his whole body stiffened, and he shouted, "Bao'er!"

Qi Jun's body tensed up, and he couldn't help, so he put his hands together and chanted Amitabha.

Su Liang panicked and hurried to check on Gao Jiabao, only to see that his pulse, which had just stabilized, had taken a sharp turn for the worse, and he had fallen into a coma, spitting blood from his mouth and black blood flowing from his nose.

At this moment, Su Liang felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and she was shrouded in a deep sense of powerlessness. She forced herself to calm down, took out the needle bag, took a deep breath, and gave Gao Jiabao acupuncture, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

Gao Jiabao's condition did not improve at all, and Su Liang's heart was like an ice cave.

At this moment, a black shadow floated in, and Su Liang's cold hand was suddenly held by someone, and there was something in her hand. When she reacted and turned around, she saw Qi Jun looking at her in surprise, and asked blankly, "It seems that someone came in just now..."

Su Liang saw the medicine bottle in her hand, and suddenly hope arose in her heart. It was Gu Ling who came back!

She didn't think about anything, opened the bottle stopper, poured out a light blue pill, pinched Gao Jiabao's jaw, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Water!" Su Liang said one word.

Qi Jun hurriedly brought a cup of warm water, and Su Liang poured it into Gao Jiabao.

Gao's father fell to the bedside, still holding Gao Jiabao's hand tightly, with a panicked look.

Su Liang was worried, watching Gao Jiabao finally stop vomiting blood, and felt his pulse again. He found that he had improved, but he still couldn't rest assured. He just looked at him steadily, even breathing lightly.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

A quarter of an hour later, Gao's father got up from the ground, his hands trembling, and went to feel Gao Jiabao's breath, then he breathed a sigh of relief and fell back, "Alive... Alive..."

Su Liang had calmed down. Although she didn't see Gu Ling, he must have come back, and he should have brought back the real antidote.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Gao Jiabao did not wake up, his pulse was weak, but his forehead, which was dark blue, had returned to its normal pale color, which was a sign of detoxification.

"Is Bao'er okay?" Gao's father asked Su Liang anxiously.

Su Liang nodded, "She should be okay, but she's a little weak. When she wakes up, she can recover after a good rest."

Gao's father cried with joy. He had been staring at Gao Jiabao, and didn't even see the shadow that came in and left. He just thought that the second antidote prepared by Su Liang was used.

"Qi Jun, get some hot water." Su Liang ordered.

Qi Jun went out in response.

Su Liang broke out in a cold sweat, but seeing Gao Jiabao saved her life, her body gradually recovered its temperature, and her heart slowly settled down.

Su Liang persuaded Gao's father to rest for a while, and she would stay with Gao Jiabao, but Gao's father didn't want to leave, so she didn't force him.

Qi Jun brought hot water, and Su Liang fed Gao Jiabao some more, let Gao's father drink two cups, and she drank some herself. There was also water for washing, and Gao's father wiped Gao Jiabao's face and hands.

Seeing that Father Gao was exhausted, Su Liang asked him to lie down and accompany Gao Jiabao, and she moved a chair to the bedside to guard him.

Qi Jun did not leave either, sitting outside the door, wondering who the black shadow that fell from the sky at the critical moment was.

Could it be that Ning Jing was not dead at all... This thought appeared in Qi Jun's mind, and he quickly denied it, because he could not find a reason for Ning Jing to fake his death, and he had seen the corpse at the beginning, and the face could not be fake.

It was not until dawn that Qi Yan came to take over from Qi Jun, and Su Liang came out of the room.

Father Gao fell asleep in the middle of the night, and Gao Jiabao's pulse was stable. It should not take long for him to wake up, and it was confirmed that his life was no longer in danger.

"Miss Su, go back and rest, I'll watch over here." Qi Yan said.

Su Liang nodded, "Well, thank you for your hard work. Call me immediately if there is anything wrong."

Su Liang returned to her yard. Lin Xueqing, who came to prepare breakfast for her every day, had not come yet, and the yard was quiet.

Pushing open the door and going in, Su Liang closed the door behind her and leaned against the door, feeling her legs weak. She is a doctor who has seen many lives and deaths, but she almost collapsed this time because the person who almost died was her friend and someone related to her.

After a while, Su Liang walked towards the inner room. She felt so tired and wanted to sleep for a while.

Walking around the screen, Su Liang was startled for a moment when she saw that the bed curtain was hanging down, thinking that she didn't hang it up last time.

She walked over, opened the bed curtain, and let her extremely exhausted body fall down.

The touch under her body was a bit strange. Su Liang's mind was confused and he reached out subconsciously. Then, he heard a familiar voice ringing in his ears, "Su Xiaoliang, don't touch it."
