In order to show that she really cared about Lu Lingzhi, Ye Zhen went back to her room and picked out a few kinds of wound medicines, all of which had not been added with spiritual energy. Then, she told Dai Mei and others not to let anyone come to her room when she was away.
Since the empress dowager sent her eight palace maids, the rules in her courtyard have been established. Except for Pei Shi and the old lady, everyone else must be reported before entering.
"Princess, don't worry, there are servants here." A tall maid said with a smile. Her name was Yu Ping. She used to work in the Palace of Compassionate and Peaceful. She was called by the empress dowager to serve Ye Zhen.
"Princess, you'd better take Yu Ying with you. She is good at martial arts. It will be safer for her to protect you." Aunt Rong said to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen looked at the little girl standing behind Yu Ping. She looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old. It was said that she practiced martial arts since she was a child, so she was very good at martial arts. However, the little girl looked a little dull. When she heard others mention her, she just stood there blankly, not knowing how to show her face at all.
"Then let Yu Ying follow me." Ye Zhen said with a smile. She didn't need so many clever maids to follow her now, as long as they could protect her from danger.
However, she was a little curious. How could Yu Ying be so good at martial arts at such a young age? What's more, were there palace maids who practiced martial arts since childhood? After all, they were sent by the empress dowager, so they must have been carefully selected.
Lu Shiming came back soon and took Ye Zhen to pick a horse. "We are now healing in Jinwu City. If we go at full speed, it will take three days. I'm afraid your body can't stand it. "
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, I'm fine."
She may not have been able to stand it before, but now she has spiritual energy to nourish her body every day. A journey of a few days and nights is not a problem.
They arrived at Jinwu City early in the morning of the fourth day. Along the way, Ye Zhen added spiritual energy to her and Lu Shiming's water. Although they had traveled for a few days, their spirits were not too tired.
It was just that Ye Zhen's skin was too delicate. After sitting in the carriage for a few days, her thighs hurt uncomfortably. Although she had applied medicine, she still walked a little slowly.
Qi Jin knew of their arrival and immediately sent someone to take them to see Lu Lingzhi.
Lu Lingzhi had been unconscious for three days and had only woken up last night.
Seeing the person she hated so much again, Ye Zhen's mood was much calmer than before. She looked at the man lying on the bed. His chest and shoulders were wrapped in a circle of white cloth, mottled with blood.
Lu Lingzhi was still sleeping. His face was pale with a tinge of gray, as if he had been poisoned. His lips were almost bloodless.
Fortunately, Old Madam Lu did not come. Otherwise, she would not be able to hold on no matter how strong she was when she saw her precious grandson in such a state.
Glancing at Lu Lingzhi, Lu Shiming and Qi Jin went outside to talk. Ye Zhen stood by the door and listened.
"… The knife that pierced into his shoulder is poisonous. Although the Fire Lotus has already detoxified the poison, the remaining poison has not been cleared. It won't be healed in a few days. Right now, we can only use acupuncture to slowly force the remaining poison out." Qi Jin whispered to Lu Shiming.
Lu Shiming asked, "Doctor Qi, how long will it take to force the remaining poison out of his body?"
Qi Jin was silent for a while, then said in a low voice, "This … I'm not sure. This poison is too powerful. If it wasn't for the Fire Lotus, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to cure him."
"What about the assassin?" Lu Shiming asked in a deep voice.
"I heard that he has escaped …" Qi Jin shook her head. "Lord Lu, I don't know what effect the remaining poison will have on the Marquis of Anyang. Now, I can only hope that he will recover as soon as possible."
Ye Zhen stood by the door and listened silently. The corner of her mouth rose unconsciously. The Fire Lotus can actually produce a hundred poisons. The key is how to take it.
It seems that Doctor Qi is still not very clear about the true use of the Fire Lotus. Now that the only Fire Lotus is gone, the remaining poison in Lu Lingzhi's body will not be detoxified within half a year. Perhaps, it will follow him for the rest of his life.
What kind of poison is so powerful?
Ye Zhen walked over curiously. Her eyes fell on the injury on his shoulder. She put her hand on his pulse. Sure enough, there was still poison in his body.
Seeing that he was still asleep, she reached out to untie the white cloth on his shoulder.
Just as she touched his shoulder, a big hand suddenly grabbed her wrist, causing her to exclaim in pain.
"Ye Zhen?" Lu Lingzhi was a little drowsy from sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw a familiar face. His heart tightened and he blurted out her name.
Ye Zhen's eyes were cold, and she said faintly, "Big brother, you have mistaken me for someone else."
Lu Lingzhi let go of her hand and showed a gentle smile. "Yao Yao, why are you here?"
"I heard that you were injured. Grandmother was worried, so she let me and father come to see you." Ye Zhen looked at him and said, "Who hurt you? Aren't you very good at martial arts? How can you be hurt so easily? "
"I don't know … They don't look like the guards of the Western Vassal Lord, but they were wearing their clothes. The dead man was a former guard of the Western Vassal Lord. The one who hurt me was injured by me and has been arrested." Lu Lingzhi looked at Ye Zhen with a smile. "Yao Yao, I didn't expect you to come to see me."
If it weren't for Old Madam Lu, how could she be willing to come here? "The old madam is very worried about you."
"It's just a small injury. Tell the old madam not to worry." Lu Lingzhi whispered.
"You are poisoned." Ye Zhen said, "Can I have a look at your wound?"
Only then did Lu Lingzhi realize that he had been holding her wrist. "The wound is terrible. What are you, a little girl, looking at it?"
He let go of her hand and his eyes fell on Ye Zhen's face. Just now, he really thought that she was Ye Zhen. Unexpectedly, he still remembered her after so long.
Was it because of the guilt in his heart that he couldn't forget?
Ye Zhen had recently been learning how to detoxify the poison. She was just curious about what poison he had. "I am a doctor. Why can't I see it?"
"I heard that you are already a princess of Furong. Why are you still a doctor?" Lu Lingzhi said with a smile. "Our princess is high and mighty, not someone a little doctor can compare with."
"It turns out that you look down on doctors." Ye Zhen curled her lips. "I just like being a doctor. Even if I am a princess, I still want to practice medicine."
Amused by her angry look, Lu Lingzhi clutched his chest and coughed lightly. "Ahem … I don't look down on doctors. Don't get me wrong."
Qi Jin and Lu Shiming heard the noise outside and hurried in.
"Yan Zhi, how do you feel?" Lu Shiming asked hurriedly.
"Third Uncle, I'm fine." Lu Lingzhi smiled. When he saw Ye Zhen standing aside with her head down, not even looking at him again, he felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.
