Chapter 40 Acupuncture for Detoxification

Ji Yucang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her with a little surprise: "Have you learned medicine?"

"I used to stay in the inner house with nothing to do, so I would read medical books." Shen Ning lowered her eyes and looked at the black pill in the brocade box, "This antidote contains addictive ingredients, but the dosage is not large and it is not easy to be detected. If you take it more than six to eight times, you will never be able to leave the control of this drug again."

"You can understand the ingredients of medicinal materials by reading medical books?" Ji Yucang smiled, "You have a high talent."

Shen Ning didn't say anything. She also thought this explanation was ridiculous.

It is obviously unlikely that a noble lady from aristocratic family can distinguish the ingredients in the antidote by staying in the inner house and reading medical books for a few days.

But other than that, she has no better explanation.

Fortunately, Ji Yucang did not continue to ask, but just said: "The poison I was poisoned with will not be fatal within two years, but if there is no antidote after two years, it will probably be a dead end."

"No. I can make an antidote for you." Shen Ning shook her head, "You are so good to me, I am willing to do something for you."

Ji Yucang walked over and raised his hand to rub her face: "Can you not describe our relationship as a transaction?"

Shen Ning frowned, what is it if it is not a transaction?

Repay kindness with kindness, and take revenge with hatred.

No one in this world should be good to others as a matter of course. Even relatives are unreliable, so why should we expect a man who has no blood relationship at all?

"If you can make an antidote, do it." Ji Yucang sighed, "If you need any medicinal materials, you can ask someone to buy them, and if you need silver, just go to the account office to withdraw it."

"Yeah."

Ji Yucang asked: "Did the queen mother embarrass you?"

Shen Ning shook her head: "She can't embarrass me."

Ji Yucang was about to say something, and the familiar colic swept over again. He suddenly grabbed the bedpost, and blue veins appeared on the back of his white hand.

Shen Ning frowned and watched his pain, reaching out to grab his arm: "How long will you be in pain?"

Ji Yucang gritted his teeth: "You go out first."

"How long will it be in pain?"

"This is only the first day." Ji Yucang's face was pale, and his voice squeezed out from his teeth, "You...you go out first."

Shen Ning put down the antidote, turned around and walked out, opening the door: "Ling Feng."

"Princess."

"Can you find me a set of silver needles for doctors as soon as possible?"

Ling Feng was stunned: "Princess?"

Shen Ning was impatient: "Can you?"

"Yes." Ling Feng turned and flew away.

Shen Ning had nothing in his hands and could not help at all. He could only stand in front of the door and wait.

The suppressed panting in the room leaked out some pain. This was a man with a strong will that defied the heavens. When the poison took effect, he could endure the pain comparable to the torture of lingchi. In the most painful torture, he watched the antidote close at hand but did not take it, and saved up twelve antidotes.

At this moment, Shen Ning's admiration for Ji Yucang had nothing to do with any identity, status or relationship. She only admired this man.

Any man with a proud character deserves admiration.

Ling Feng returned quickly, not only bringing a set of silver needles, but also a dagger and a jar of strong liquor.

Shen Ning was satisfied with his attentiveness, but she didn't need the dagger.

She took the silver needles without asking where he got them from. She turned and walked into the inner hall. Looking at Ji Yucang who was almost curled up, she raised her hand and threw him on the bed.

The man with a seven-foot body, the noble regent, the decisive and ruthless god of war on the battlefield, was now thrown on the bed by Shen Ning like a weak and powerless chicken.

She took a bowl and poured out a bowl of strong liquor.

After soaking the silver needle in strong liquor, he immediately raised his hand to untie Ji Yucang's clothes. In just a short while, Ji Yucang's robe was soaked, and the cold sweat on his forehead made his hair wet. He looked really...

Shen Ning felt soft-hearted for a moment, and even had a rare pity.

She quickly shook her head to brush off this terrible emotional fluctuation, and quickly stripped Ji Yucang naked, leaving only a pair of underwear.

The silver needle soaked in strong liquor found the acupuncture point he wanted and pierced it accurately, followed by the second, third, and fourth...

The pain on Ji Yucang's face gradually faded, and his emotions tended to calm down. He opened his eyes and looked at Shen Ning quietly, without asking her how she was good at acupuncture, or what the technique was, as if it was natural for her to know this and there was nothing to ask.

A warm current kept rising in his lungs.

Ji Yucang was thinking, and suddenly got up and lay on the edge of the bed, spitting out a mouthful of black blood with a "puff".

Shen Ning pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth.

Ji Yucang coughed a few times and slowly lay back on the bed, feeling a sense of comfort and relaxation in his meridians.

Shen Ning took out the silver needle for him without saying a word.

"This year, I have secretly found many superb doctors, but they are all helpless against this poison. I didn't expect that you solved the problem with a few silver needles."

"It's not completely solved." Shen Ning said truthfully, "The poison in your body is persistent. Vomiting black blood is just vomiting the poison this month, and there will still be poison next month."

Ji Yucang closed his eyes and hummed imperceptibly.

"And acupuncture detoxification is not the best solution. It only treats the symptoms but not the root cause." Shen Ning frowned, thinking about what to do, "and if it happens too many times, it will cause loss of vitality and shorten life."

"At least it should be longer than dying directly from poison after two years."

Shen Ning said: "I will make an antidote for you, so that you can live longer."

"Shen Ning." Ji Yucang turned his head slightly and looked at her without blinking, "If this king can only live for two years, I will transfer the available power in my hands to you within these two years. Even if this king dies in the future, you will have the ability to protect yourself."

Shen Ning shook her head: "No need."

"I'm talking about if." Ji Yucang said calmly, "I will find time to teach you military tactics and strategies in the future, so that you can have the ability to go to the battlefield. In this way, you will have a large number of troops and guard the border of Yong State, and you will no longer have to care about the court. Ban, don't pay attention to the emperor's order, the emperor can't do anything to you. "

Shen Ning looked at him: "The army guards the border, and the military pay and food still need to be distributed by the court. If you don't listen to the emperor's order, will the emperor be willing to distribute the military pay and food?"

"When you have enough troops and power, money is not a problem." Ji Yucang said indifferently, "The border cities have taxes, and under the threat of heavy troops, the emperor dare not deduct... You should know that the more pedantic and loyal ministers are, the more likely they are to be calculated by traitors, but those who don't follow the rules often get greater convenience. "

Shen Ning was silent.

At this time, she had an illusion for no reason. She always felt that Ji Yucang seemed to know where she came from, knew that she had led troops, and even knew that she was good at detoxification... Otherwise, it was impossible to explain why he didn't resist or question her acupuncture just now, and couldn't explain his idea of ​​suggesting that she lead troops to the battlefield.

Yong State has never had a woman lead an army. No matter how unruly the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo is, she is only a girl of fifteen or sixteen. How can she lead an army to fight?

Why does he think she can command hundreds of thousands of troops?

Shen Ning suppressed the sudden doubt in his heart and said slowly: "You will be fine, so those ifs don't exist."
