Feeling the abnormality of Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying's body, Song Qingshu's expression changed slightly. No wonder even the masters of the Isle of Chivalry could only drink a few drops of medicinal wine every time they practiced. Those who practiced Yang internal force could only drink wine made from Fire Pill, and those who practiced Yin internal force could only drink wine made from Nine Nine Pills. If they drank the wrong medicine, they would die immediately.
Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying must have been able to hold on until now because the masked man had controlled the dosage of the pills. Otherwise, if they had swallowed both the Nine Nine Pill and the Fire Pill, one of them would have been frozen into ice, and the other would have been burned to death.
Fortunately, Song Qingshu's internal force had reached a world-shaking level. Coupled with his unparalleled mastery of Yin and Yang Qi, he was able to save the two at the same time. If it was a master who only practiced Yang internal force or Yin internal force, he would only be able to save one of Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang.
Song Qingshu used his Yin and Yang internal force and slowly injected it into the two women's bodies. He first protected their internal organs to prevent the poison from entering their vitals. Just as he was about to try to force the poison out, he suddenly heard Huang Rong's anxious voice.
"Shen Yan can't make it?" Song QingShu's heart trembled. He still had a lot of questions that he wanted to ask him for answers. He glanced at Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying. Now that they had the antidote and their internal organs were protected by his True Qi, they should be fine for the time being. So, he carried the two girls and rushed into the inner hall.
Sure enough, Song QingShu saw Shen Yan's complexion from afar and his breath was like gossamer. He gently placed the two women in his arms on the table and chair at the side and then went over to check his pulse. His heart could not help but sink. He hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and poured out a pill for him to swallow.
After taking the pill, Shen Yan's face gradually became ruddy. Huang Rong was very surprised, "What medicine is this? Why is it so effective?"
"Snow Ginseng Jade Toad Pill." Song Qingshu sighed in his heart. Medicine could only cure illness but not life. Shen Yan's vitality was gone, and this medicine could only make him have the effect of a final radiance.
Huang Rong was secretly shocked. Because of Huang Yaoshi, she had a certain understanding of the world's elixirs. The Snow Ginseng Jade Toad Pill seemed to be a tribute to the Qing Dynasty. Only the Emperor and the Empress Dowager had the right to consume it …
Looking at Song Qingshu's profile, Huang Rong couldn't help but ponder.
Shen Yan gradually opened his eyes and saw Song Qingshu's appearance. A trace of gratification flashed in his eyes: "Qi Wang."
"Imperial Censor Shen." Song Qingshu hurriedly supported him, indicating that he should not speak anymore.
"If I don't speak now, I won't have the chance to." Shen Yan shook her head. "I originally thought that I would die here today without a sound. I didn't expect that I would be able to see Prince Qi before I die. It seems that this damned Heaven is not unkind to me."
Song Qingshu sighed inwardly, replying in a low voice: "It is a pity that I came too late and was unable to save you. Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? As long as it is within my power, I will definitely help you achieve them."
Trembling, Shen Yan took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to him: "Qi Wang, please rescue my pitiful daughter. I don't know where she is suffering right now. This is a keepsake. If you show it to her, she will naturally believe you."
Song Qingshu frowned. Shen Bijun's kidnapping was a mysterious case. No one knew where she was right now. Where would he go to save her? However, seeing the expectant gazes of Shen Yan and his wife, his heart was greatly moved. He couldn't help but soften and nod his head: "Fine!"
Seeing him agree, Shen Yan's entire body let out a long sigh of relief. Song Qingshu was worried that he would die and hurriedly asked: "Who was that masked man just now? From your conversation, it seems that you know each other? "
A strange expression appeared on Shen Yan's face. In the end, he shook his head: "Qi Wang, it is not that I don't want to tell you. The main reason is that I am afraid that if Bijun learns of this, she will want to take revenge for us. That person's influence is enormous. How could a weak woman like Bijun be a match for him? I only want her to live the rest of her life in peace. It would be best if she never returned to the Great Song. "
Song Qingshu frowned. He pressed Shen Yan several times, but Shen Yan remained silent. Although he was somewhat angry, Song Qingshu could not help but admire Shen Yan's love for his daughter. For the sake of his daughter's happiness, Shen Yan was willing to endure all the suffering alone.
To the side, Huang Rong thought to herself: Song Qingshu still wants to help you save your daughter, yet you refuse to say anything. She could not help but feel somewhat angry. However, seeing that he was about to die, she could not bear to continue forcing him. She could only open her mouth and ask: "Just now, that masked man mentioned the Deer Cutter. What is its connection to the legendary Mandarin Duck Blade?"
"There is no harm in telling you this." Shen Yan sighed faintly: "Now that I think about it, this Deer Cutter is the cause of our Shen family's current fate …"
"When Fang La was annihilated by the imperial court, the remnants of the Ming Dynasty fled to the west, and the Mandarin Duck Blade also fell into the hands of Prime Minister Zhong."
Song Qingshu was stunned: "The Mandarin Duck Blade is from the Ming Dynasty?"
Shen Yan nodded: "It is unknown who the original owner of the Mandarin Duck Blade was, but later it has been in the hands of the Ming Dynasty." He paused and continued: "Prime Minister Zhong led the remnants of Fang La to rebuild the Ming Dynasty in the Dongting Lake area. However, because he practiced the Heaven and Earth Grand Shift, his whole body was paralyzed. In the end, he was captured and killed by the Ming Dynasty's general Kong Yanzhou. The Mandarin Duck Blade fell into the hands of the next Hierarch, Yang Yao."
"Yang Yao was far better than Prime Minister Zhong in both ability and martial arts. Kong Yanzhou retreated in defeat and finally surrendered to the Jin Dynasty. The imperial court had no choice but to send General Yue to Dongting to suppress the rebellion."
Song Qingshu nodded secretly. The General Yue he mentioned was Yue Fei. At that time, Yue Fei met Xiao Long Nu's mother in the Dongting area …
Shen Yan coughed twice and continued: "Later, Yang Yao was captured, and the Mandarin Duck Blade fell into the hands of General Yue. Later, General Yue was framed by Qin Hui and died in the Storm Pavilion. Due to various opportunities and coincidences, the Mandarin Duck Blade fell into the hands of our Shen family."
"Because of the rumor in Jianghu, the Mandarin Duck Blade contained a secret of invincibility in the world. My father was worried that a tall tree would attract the wind, so he changed the name of the Mandarin Duck Blade. My father didn't want to disgrace this legendary blade by giving it a random name. He thought that since the Mandarin Duck Blade was invincible, it would be easy to slaughter the world in today's troubled times. So he changed the name to Deer Cutter Blade. Unexpectedly, the secret was leaked and caused a great disaster."
Song Qingshu looked strange. He didn't expect that this was the origin of the Deer Cutter Blade. Huang Rong suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked: "Since the Mandarin Duck Blade contained the secret of invincibility in the world, have you cracked the secret of the blade since it has been in your hands for so long?"
Shen Yan looked around the purgatory desolately: "If we had cracked the secret, would our Shen family have ended up like this? Mandarin Duck, Mandarin Duck, since it is called Mandarin Duck Blade, it is obvious that there are two blades, one male and one female. The one in our hands is only one of them. The Ming Dynasty also only had one of them. Otherwise, it would not have been so easily destroyed by the imperial court. "
Song Qingshu was shocked. It turned out that there were two Mandarin Duck Blades. No wonder there had been only rumors and no one had ever cracked the secret.
Shen Yan continued: "In order to crack the secret of the blade, the Shen family has spent countless efforts. Unfortunately, because of the lack of the other blade, there has been no progress. Some time ago, I noticed that the news had been leaked, so I made a prompt decision to give this hot potato to the Crown Prince and let Bijun become the Crown Prince's wife. This would also ensure the prosperity of the Shen family for generations. I didn't expect that it was still a step too late …"
His tone was full of remorse, as if he was blaming himself, but also as if he was distressed for the efforts of several generations of the Shen family.
Huang Rong asked: "Your Shen family has been investigating for so many years. Is there no news about the other blade?"
"No." Shen Yan faintly sighed: "It was only found that the other blade had appeared in Liaodong. Unfortunately, later people were sent to investigate, but they found nothing."
"Master, don't talk about that blade anymore. That blade has destroyed our Shen family. It is an ominous object, the source of death …" Shen Furen hugged Shen Yan and cried bitterly.
Shen Yan sighed, and the light in his eyes gradually dissipated: "Yes, I regret not listening to you and giving up looking for the secret of the blade earlier …"
Before he finished speaking, he had already passed away.
"Master …" Shen Furen suddenly burst into tears.
Song Qingshu sighed and pulled Huang Rong up. He knew that at this moment, any words of comfort were so pale and powerless.
Shen Furen leaned on Shen Yan and cried for a while. She slowly raised her head and said to Song Qingshu: "Your Excellency Prince Qi, can I trouble you with something?"
Song Qingshu nodded: "Furen, please tell me."
"I have heard of your deeds from Master, and even Bijun often mentions you in her boudoir. They all say that you are like an immortal and have the ability to reach the heavens. So I dare to ask Prince Qi to help us save my daughter." Shen Furen did not know if it was because she was too sad, but her voice became somewhat weak.
Song Qingshu nodded: "As long as I receive news of Miss Shen, I will definitely help you save her. However, Miss Shen has been missing for so long without any news. I am afraid …"
Shen Furen smiled sadly: "I also know that Bijun is in danger, but even if you cannot save her, Prince Qi does not need to blame yourself. We are already very grateful that you agreed to help us."
At this time, Song Qingshu had already noticed that there was something wrong with her body. He rushed over to check and was surprised to find that there was a dagger in her lower abdomen. It was obvious that she would not survive.
"Shen Furen, why are you doing this?" Song Qingshu could not help but sigh.
Shen Furen smiled sadly: "Everyone in the Shen garden is dead. What is the point of me living alone in this world? In the future, if Bijun is fortunate enough to be saved by Prince Qi, I hope that Prince Qi will tell her not to avenge us. "
After saying the last word, Shen Furen finally closed her eyes and leaned her body on her husband's body.
At this time, the sound of bailiffs came from not far away. Huang Rong hurriedly pulled Song Qingshu who was standing there in a daze: "The officials are here. Let's go first."
Song Qingshu nodded. Although he was Prince Qi, it was not appropriate for him to deal with the officials at this time. After all, all the civil and military officials thought that he had returned to Jiangbei. Now that he had come to Shanyin, it was difficult for people not to be suspicious. If his political enemies hit him while he was down, it would be very troublesome.
Moreover, at this time, Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying were gradually falling into a coma. If he did not detoxify them soon, they would most likely die.
