Ji Yujin’s pupils suddenly shrank, and his mind went blank, but fortunately, his body moved according to instinct.
He suddenly understood what they meant by “weakness” and the deep meaning in the looks Li Yu and Lao Mo gave him.
It turns out that having a soft spot is such a heart-wrenching feeling.
He even knew that it was intentional to lure him away from here. He knew it was a trap but had no choice.
Chu Fengqing clearly saw the silver light coming towards him. He moved but could not avoid it. In a flash, everything in front of him went dark.
He clearly heard the sound of the blade entering the body—a dull and sticky sound, forcing the skin and flesh apart. It was an extremely uncomfortable sound, but the imagined pain did not come.
There was a faint scent of agarwood lingering around his nose, and the next moment he was embraced in a warm embrace, with his mouth and nose filled with a familiar scent.
Ji Yujin’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he swung his soft sword around the black-clothed man’s neck. The man fell to the ground instantly and was no longer breathing.
“Ji Yujin…” Chu Fengqing’s eyes widened a little, and the stickiness on his hands made him understand what had happened.
“Qing Niao!” Ji Yujin shouted. As soon as he left the emperor’s side, the man in black quickly broke through a gap and attacked the emperor.
Ji Yujin gritted his teeth and lured the tiger away from the mountain.
Qing Niao: “Yes!”
Fortunately, Qing Niao came over at this time, and he immediately took Ji Yujin’s place. Li Yu spat blood on the ground, and his baby face became serious and scary. “Has Zhao Li come?”
Qing Niao: “Yes.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of Xichang and Jinyiwei’s guards rushed in from outside, led by Zhao Li in black, all fully equipped. As soon as they joined the battle, the situation turned around instantly.
The families of the ministers were so frightened that they had already hidden themselves away. Those who were slower and unable to run away lay trembling on the ground, pretending they had seen nothing.
Li Yu took advantage of the situation and came to the emperor’s side and said, “Your Majesty, it is not appropriate for you to stay here for long. Please evacuate with the subordinate.”
Ji Yujin’s sword rang softly, the sound was not loud but full of killing intent. He said word by word, “Kill without mercy.”
“Yes!”
The leader of the men in black’s eyes suddenly looked dim.
Ji Yujin had been holding Chu Fengqing tightly in his arms, with such great strength that he probably didn’t even notice it. Only after he had given all the instructions did he hastily pull Chu Fengqing to look at him, his voice full of anxiety and fear. “Are you hurt anywhere?”
He had calculated everything but forgot to take Chu Fengqing into account. He thought their target was the emperor and would not touch him, but he did not expect that this small negligence almost led to a huge mistake.
Chu Fengqing shook his head, gritted his teeth, and said, “I’m fine. Let me see your injury.”
“Injury?”
Chu Fengqing raised his hand, his slender white hand was covered in blood.
Ji Yujin didn’t have time to rescue him just now. He picked up a stone from a distance and hit the man in black’s hand, knocking the sword out of his hand. In the blink of an eye, he was stabbed by the enemy behind him. He ran toward Chu Fengqing before he could even react.
Until his fingertips touched him, he held him in his arms.
He hadn’t used fancy words for a long time, but even if he was the one who could write an article eloquently without repeating a single word many years ago, he probably couldn’t find any words to describe the ecstasy at that moment, the feeling of regaining what he had lost.
Ji Yujin reached out and touched his back. His hands were covered in blood, and his clothes were damp and sticky. He actually didn’t notice…
The strange thing is that he didn’t feel anything just now, but now that he realized it, he felt the pain creeping up little by little.
“Tsk, I’ve been tricked by this villain. It’s only a small injury…”
Chu Fengqing interrupted his bravado and said, “Shut up.”
He frowned and covered the area with a clean handkerchief, which was soon soaked with blood.
Chu Fengqing embraced him, and for the first time, the word “panic” appeared in his cold voice. “Ji Yujin, it’s too messy here. I can’t find your bleeding point, and I can’t stop the bleeding.”
He looked around. A circle of guards protected them. There were flashes of swords and sabers outside, and he didn’t know when it would end. Chu Fengqing made a quick decision: “Let’s go.”
Ji Yujin thought he was making a big deal out of nothing. It was just an injury of this kind, and he had suffered it before. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly felt dizzy and coughed up a mouthful of black blood.
Chu Fengqing looked at the wound on his back and saw that the blood on the handkerchief was black.
Poisoning.
The sword was actually smeared with poison.
Ji Yujin wiped his lips to remove the blood stain on them and said without further ado, “It seems I really have to trouble you this time.”
Chu Fengqing’s expression was extremely ugly. He poured a pill from the jade bottle and stuffed it into Ji Yujin’s mouth. “You…”
He pursed his lips and said nothing more.
The guards protected the two of them as they walked out. The battle here ended quickly with the participation of Zhao Li and others, but a few people still escaped. The other side fought without regard for their lives, and it was really difficult to resist.
After Zhao Li and others finished dealing with the matter, they heard that Ji Yujin was injured, and they hurried over again.
When they arrived, Ji Yujin had already lost consciousness. Chu Fengqing was helping him treat his wound. There was a long sword wound on his back, which was shocking.
Qing Niao: “Madam, how is the Master’s injury?”
Chu Fengqing: “The sword is poisonous, and there is limited medicine on the mountain… I can only do my best.”
Zhao Li: “……”
Only then did he have time to look at Chu Fengqing. After seeing his appearance clearly, he was slightly stunned and frowned.
“Madam? Chu Yinyin?” He murmured softly.
Qing Niao looked at him doubtfully, then nodded, remembering that Zhao Li had never met Chu Fengqing.
A hint of doubt flashed across Zhao Li’s eyes. He pursed his lips and said nothing.
Chu Fengqing didn’t have the heart to listen to what they said at the moment. Beads of sweat oozed out of the tip of his nose. He could only barely stop the bleeding. This poison… he had a rough idea of it but didn’t know the antidote.
He looked down at his bloody hands and clenched his fists.
He had to stay calm and calm down, he still had to save Ji Yujin…
At this moment, Ji Yujin suddenly vomited a large mouthful of black blood. Everyone was shocked. Zhao Li hurried forward to check, and Chu Fengqing took his pulse.
The poison was too strong. In just a short period of time, Ji Yujin’s pulse became much weaker.
Zhao Li: “What kind of poison has the Master been poisoned by?”
Chu Fengqing: “It’s very similar to the symptoms of Qianye Teng.”
“Qianye Teng? Is there an antidote?”
Chu Fengqing shook his head. He had only seen it in medical books but had never seen it in real life.
Zhao Li: “Do we need to go back to the mansion?”
The conditions on the mountain were too harsh. He didn’t even bring his equipment with him, and the medicines were limited. But if they wanted to return home… Ji Yujin might not be able to endure a day and night’s journey.
Chu Fengqing bit her lower lip and said, “No, Qing Niao, go get a few imperial physicians.”
Qing Niao received the order and left quickly.
Zhao Li asked, “Are you sure? If we don’t go back to the mansion, how confident are you that you can cure the governor?”
Chu Fengqing: “Not confident.”
Zhao Li’s tone changed slightly: “I’m sorry, the subordinate can’t obey your order.”
As he was about to take Ji Yujin back home, Chu Fengqing took out the token that belonged to Ji Yujin from his arms and said, “Sorry, I will bear all the consequences.”
Zhao Li: “……”
Once the token is displayed, you must not disobey.
“Yes.”
……
After taking the patient’s pulse, several old imperial physicians fell silent and looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.
When the Emperor heard that Ji Yujin was injured, he issued an order that Ji Yujin must be cured at all costs, and if he could not be saved, all the imperial physicians would be dismissed.
So the old imperial physicians were in a panic. Li Yu arranged everything and rushed over. Seeing that the imperial physicians were still unable to speak at this time, he immediately became angry and said, “Speak up! Have you all become dumb?”
“Qianhu Daren, please calm down…” An experienced imperial physician spoke up: “It’s not that we don’t want to tell you, it’s just that… this poison is very strange, and none of us have ever seen it before.”
Li Yu: “A bunch of trash, what use are you all for?”
“Does anyone know about Qianye Teng?”
Just at this moment, a cold voice interrupted. Chu Fengqing’s face was frighteningly pale, and at first glance, it looked even scarier than Ji Yujin’s.
“This… The old man has seen it once or twice in ancient books, but never seen the real thing.”
“Alright, tell me everything you all know.”
Chu Fengqing’s voice strangely made the messy room quiet.
The night passed quickly, Ji Yujin’s breathing became weaker and weaker, Chu Fengqing’s face became uglier and uglier, his asthma had reached the zero limit, and his somewhat abrupt breathing sounds could be heard from time to time in the room.
Chu Fengqing covered his lips with a handkerchief and tried his best to steady his breathing. “Sorry.”
Throughout the night, everyone thought of countless methods, but no one dared to decide. Of course, the backbone was still Chu Fengqing. Several old imperial physicians originally thought that they were knowledgeable and looked down on young people, but now they were completely convinced.
An old imperial physician said, “It’s nothing serious, but Madam’s symptoms are somewhat similar to asthma. Don’t think that asthma is harmless. Sometimes it can be fatal when it strikes. How about this old man take your pulse?”
Chu Fengqing shook his head and rejected his kindness: “It’s alright, I’m fine. What do you think of this prescription?”
The old imperial physician took the prescription from him and read it carefully. His eyes suddenly lit up. “Yes, but the dosage of this medicine is a bit high. Can the Governor bear it?”
“This old man feels that this dosage is not large enough. If it is smaller, the detoxification effect will be greatly reduced.”
Everyone talked at once, and at dawn, they finally made the first batch of medicine. However, no one dared to give it to Ji Yujin. With Ji Yujin’s current physical condition, the slightest mistake could cost him his life.
Chu Fengqing pursed his lips, walked in front of Ji Yujin, and then did something that made everyone stare.
He lowered his eyes, leaned forward and pressed his lips against the corner of Ji Yujin’s lips, licked the blood into his mouth, and whispered, “I’ll test the medicine for him.”
