Chapter 263: Chapter 263, Scared Half to Death
Yun Jinnian rose to pay respects to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, I beg your pardon!"
Then he turned his head to Han Xuzi and said, "Grandfather, please take care of His Majesty’s bleeding later!"
"Mm!" Han Xuzi nodded.
He was also curious about what Yun Jinnian was going to do.
After all, he really couldn’t think of a way to detoxify the Emperor!
The Emperor stretched out his left hand.
Yun Jinnian opened the medicine box, took out a knife, placed it in a basin with alcohol, and had someone prepare a bowl before he took out the knife again and made a cut on the Emperor’s wrist.
It wasn’t very deep, but blood immediately began to flow out.
The Emperor turned his wrist over, allowing the blood to steadily flow into the bowl.
Although it was the same poison, in Chu Yu’s body it had turned into worms after more than a decade, but in the Emperor’s body, it had been just over a year, so even if they were worms, they would be tiny, or even just worm eggs.
Once the bowl was full, Han Xuzi swiftly stopped the bleeding for the Emperor.
Yun Jinnian took the bowl to the side, scooped some blood with a spoon into a clean bowl, and poured some powder into it.
Soon, the color of the blood slowly faded, eventually becoming as clear as water.
But the faint wriggling could be seen very clearly.
"Heavens!"
Eunuch Hai screamed.
He considered himself well-informed, but had never imagined that there would be worms inside the Emperor’s body!
That was the Emperor, the supreme ruler.
"What’s wrong?" the Emperor asked in a deep voice.
Eunuch Hai looked at Yun Jinnian, then brought the bowl in front of the Emperor, "Your Eternal Majesty, please look!"
The Emperor looked into the bowl, saw the wriggling worms, and felt a chill, "Did all these come out of my body?"
Or were they existing inside his body?
Yun Jinnian nodded, "Yes!"
The Emperor felt weak and numb, "Can you cure it?"
Yun Jinnian shook her head slightly, "It can’t be solved right away!"
"How long will it take to develop an antidote?" the Emperor asked, his voice unable to hide his urgency.
Yun Jinnian naturally wouldn’t tell the Emperor that she could solve it immediately and that she was the one who concocted the poison.
That would be seeking death.
And she was also thinking of the poison inside Prince Yanjun’s body...
If only she could take a trip to Nanjiang!
"Your Majesty, I’m not certain when the antidote can be developed, but may I take a trip to Nanjiang?" Yun Jinnian said this, finding it unbelievable even to herself.
She was actually thinking of going to Nanjiang.
Of course, if she went to Nanjiang and studied with the local physicians there, she would learn things that were absolutely not in the books.
And the poisons in Nanjiang were indeed baffling, constantly involving worms; Yun Jinnian felt it necessary to make the trip personally.
"You want to go to Nanjiang?" the Emperor asked in astonishment.
A girl, only twelve years old, actually told him that she wanted to go to Nanjiang, was she too young and rash!
Even Han Xuzi was stunned.
He had no idea that his granddaughter had become so decisive.
"Replying to Your Majesty, to solve the poison in your body, a trip to Nanjiang is necessary. And I don’t dare to hide from Your Majesty, the poison that afflicted Master Dongfang of Xiaohe Village and the poison Princess Zhenguo suffered from earlier also came from Nanjiang. It was then passed on to Prince Yanjun!" Yun Jinnian said, but made no mention of Chu Yu.
From what she knew in her past life, Yun Jinnian was aware that the Emperor didn’t like Chu Yu, even detested and dreaded him to an extent.
The Emperor was aware of the severe poison in Chu Yu’s body but didn’t know what poison it was. Now that Yun Jinnian had spoken, the Emperor started thinking more deeply.
If one, two, three individuals were poisoned, all originating from Nanjiang, he would not believe for a second that Nanjiang had no treacherous intentions.
