Chapter 58 The Gears of Fate Begin to Turn

When Eunuch An heard the noise, he came in and saw Chen Qianzhe's appearance. He sat down on the ground in fright.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what's going on?"

He used his hands and feet to crawl over in panic.

Before his hand could reach it, he was stopped by a sword.

"Don't touch him!"

Qian Shizhong climbed in through the window and sheathed his sword with his backhand.

"Miss Ling, please don't move while holding His Majesty. The more you move, the faster his poison will spread."

"Ah? Then, what should we do?" Ling Xi half-knelt on the ground, hugging Chen Qianzhe and about to cry: "He is poisoned now..."

Eunuch An's face turned even paler: "Poisoned? Then I, I will go to the imperial doctor..."

"The imperial doctor is useless." Qian Shizhong tore open Chen Qianzhe's clothes and saw a black line on his chest: "Fortunately, there was enough time."

He pulled out the hairpin from Ling Xi's head with his backhand and stabbed it into Chen Qianzhe's heart, blocking the spread of the black line.

Black blood flowed out from the wound, and a putrid smell filled the air.

"This is heart-eating grass. It is poisonous very quickly. Once the poison spreads to the heart, it will quickly corrode the heart. Even gods will not be able to save it."

Qian Shizhong seemed to know the medicinal properties of these poisonous herbs very well. He pressed the area around his heart with skillful techniques and did not let go until bright red blood was squeezed out.

"Okay, the poisonous weeds are almost gone. Mr. An, I remember that there is a Buddha's heart incense in the palace, right?"

"Buddha's heart..." Eunuch An reacted slowly for a moment, then nodded sharply: "Yes, yes, yes, it's over there at the Imperial Temple. I'll get it for you as much as you want."

When Mr. An ran out, his legs were weak due to nervousness and he fell. He stumbled to the Imperial Temple and came back with a large bundle of Buddha's Heart Incense.

Qian Shizhong lit the Buddha's Heart Incense, burned out the ashes, crushed the ashes, and sprinkled them on Chen Qianzhe's wound.

The gray-brown incense ash slowly turned white after being soaked with blood.

"There is a secret insect in the Buddha's Heart Incense, which is specially designed to restrain the heart-eating grass. The incense ashes can also stop bleeding. Sprinkle the incense ashes on the wound and replace it with one stick of incense. When the incense ashes no longer turn white, all the remaining poisons will be removed."

Qian Shizhong said while looking at Ling Xi.

"Understood?"

"...I understand..." Ling Xi was nervous and confused: "But tell me, what do you mean? You want me to do it? Then what are you doing?"

"Your Majesty's remaining poison has been cleaned up, but the poison that has been absorbed still needs medicine to mediate. I have to find medicine."

"Okay, okay," Ling Xi nodded quickly: "You go find it, and I'll do it."

Thinking of something, she quickly called Qian to show her loyalty.

"Hidden loyalty..."

Qian Shizhong turned around in confusion: "Huh?"

"Thank you!"

"..." Qian Shizhong's expression changed slightly, nodded, and jumped out of the window.

Ling Xi and An Gonggong were responsible for burning the incense and changing the ashes. After several times, the color of the incense ashes finally changed from white to black.

The two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

At dawn, Qian Shizhong came back, a little embarrassed, with scratches on his body.

He handed a bunch of fresh grass in his hand to Ling Xi: "Crush it, mix it with incense ash, mix it with water and give it to Your Majesty."

"Thank you," Ling Xi thanked him again and looked at him worriedly: "You are also injured, how are you?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired, just take a rest." Qian Shizhong fell to the ground, panting and waving his hands.

After Chen Qianzhe took the antidote, he vomited out a pile of black mucus without even taking out half a cup of tea.

Ling Xi personally fetched water to clean him up: "Eunuch An, please take care of His Majesty while I go find some clean clothes."

Chen Qianzhe groaned, his eyelashes trembled, and he struggled to open his eyes.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty, you are finally awake. You scared me to death..." Eunuch An suppressed his excitement and wiped away his tears tremblingly.

Chen Qianzhe snorted lowly, turned his eyes and looked around.

Eunuch An agreed and said quickly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Miss Ling is fine. She just left and will be back soon." Chen Qianzhe closed his eyes weakly and nodded imperceptibly.

Eunuch An whispered in his ear: "Miss Ling has never left. She has been staying here with His Majesty. When His Majesty was unconscious, she cried anxiously."

Chen Qianzhe slowly opened his eyes, glanced at him obscurely, and then closed his eyes again.

Seeing him like this, Mr. An smiled reassuringly.

But when he saw Ling Xi coming in with clothes, he immediately changed his anxious face: "Miss Ling, it's time to go to court in the morning. I have to make arrangements first and ask for leave for Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please take care of the girl. "

……

Chen Qian's old wounds were not healed, but new ones were added to his body. His body was visibly tired. Even when he was sitting in the sun, he was wrapped in a thin coat.

Ling Xi sat next to him, inserted the peeled green fruit into a bamboo skewer, and handed it to him.

He shook his head: "No appetite."

"You have a mix of old and new injuries. You don't eat enough. If you don't take some vitamin supplements, your body won't be able to bear it."

"I really can't eat it."

"Eat!" Ling Xi's attitude became tough, she grabbed his chin and stuffed the green fruit into his mouth: "You must eat it, or I'll poke you if you don't!"

The bamboo stick poked the back of Chen Qianzhe's hand in demonstration.

He smiled helplessly, feeling like he was talking about nothing.

A young eunuch came over and presented a document: "Your Majesty, the regent please present."

"Uncle Emperor?" Chen Qianzhe wrapped his clothes tightly and motioned for Ling Xi to take the post.

The post is in Chen Wangchuan's handwriting.

First, he asked Chen Qianzhe for his health, and then told him about General Liao Hu's triumphant return and that a celebration banquet would be held for him in the Western Imperial City.

"Celebration banquet," Ling Xi murmured three words and smiled self-deprecatingly: "The gears of fate have begun to turn! What is supposed to come will come after all!"

Chen Wangchuan's eyes were pale: "This lonely imperial uncle has always been ruthless in doing things. What he wants to do must be based on a plan."

"I heard that he has been looking for Zang Yuhua."

"Without Zangyuhua, this celebration banquet will have no soul. Tell your third brother, stay awake and don't get into trouble!"

Zang Yuhua is the hostage of the Eastern Xinjiang Kingdom and an important witness that proves Liao Hu's meritorious service. It is also an important part of Chen Wangchuan's rise to power in the original story line and must not fall into his hands.

Suburbs.

Zhuangzi.

"Hey, you, wash up and change. The smell on your body can kill someone!" Ling Rui threw the clothes on Zang Yuhua.

Perhaps it was because foreigners ate too much mutton, but Ling Rui always felt that Zang Yuhua had a foul smell on her body.

He was injured a few days ago and couldn't move. However, he has gotten better in the past two days, so I couldn't wait to urge him to wash it.

Zang Yuhua looked at her clothes and threw them away: "I don't wear foreign clothes!"

"Do you think I want you to wear our clothes?" Ling Rui rolled his eyes with disdain: "Looking at the rough cloth and bark on your bodies, you look like barbarians. If you are allowed to wear our clothes, I am flattering you!"

"Humph!"

"What are you humming? Go wash it!"

"Don't go!"

"Will you wash it or not?"

"dont wash!"

"……you!"

Ling Rui lost his temper and was about to take action, but thinking of Ling Xi's words, he suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Okay, you don't want to wash it, right? I'll wash it for you!"
