Chapter 188 Fighting Fire with Fire
Fuqiu quickly stepped forward and took Yu Guiwan's hand out, covering it with a handkerchief. Nangong Yi felt her pulse and his expression immediately became serious. "Lift the curtain, let me see the princess."
Nangong Yi's tone did not allow for rejection, so Fuqiu immediately lifted the curtain.
Yu Guiwan's lips were pale as she lay on the bed. After inducing vomiting, she hadn't woken up. Nangong Yi's brows tightened. "What did you give her to eat?" Yu Guiwan's pulse was extremely weak.
If you induce vomiting later, you will die.
Fuqiu was about to answer when Wei Heng walked in. "She took poison and then the antidote."
"Where is the antidote? Show it to me." Nangong Yi immediately grasped the key point and spoke quickly.
"I'll get it."
Fuqiu knew where the medicine given by Master Chu was, so she quickly went to get it. Nangong Yi took out the antidote and immediately said, "Take some of the princess's blood."
Fuqiu glanced at Wei Heng, and after Wei Heng's signal, she took a silver needle to collect a few drops of blood from Yu Guiwan's fingertips. Nangong Yi didn't say anything. After all, he was not from Prince Chen's Mansion, so it was understandable that they didn't believe him.
The blood that Fuqiu had taken had already turned black. Nangong Yi melted the detoxification pill and then combined it with Yu Guiwan's blood. Within a moment, the blood in the cup immediately turned dark black.
"What a good plan."
Nangong Yi narrowed his eyes and sneered.
Wei Heng's face changed when he saw this scene, "No wonder the poison is so strong, it turns out to be like this." The poison that the eldest princess gave to Yu Guiwan would not cause any serious consequences, but once he took the antidote pill.
The two substances counteracted each other, and the resulting toxicity was even greater. If he hadn't induced vomiting in time, Yu Guiwan's life might not have been saved.
"Master Nangong, do you have any ideas?"
Wei Heng looked at Nangong Yi. He had never expected this man to be so knowledgeable and experienced. He was helpless in the current situation. With no news from Master Chu Yue, he was the only one left.
Nangong Yi thought for a moment before speaking: "Yes, there is, but I don't know any medical skills. I only know some methods used by quacks." He was only 50% sure in his heart.
Suddenly.
Yu Guiwan's weak voice came from the bed:
"I can."
When Fuqiu heard the voice, her eyes lit up and she immediately ran to the bedside, "Princess, you finally woke up."
"Then please change your clothes, Princess." Nangong Yi said, then retreated first, and then looked at Bei Chu, "Please ask my lord to let me go and bring the little thing in my room here."
"Yes."
Bei Chu did not hesitate for a moment. After all, this was the only way now.
……
After a while, Bei Chu came over with the 'little thing' he mentioned, which was a highly poisonous snake.
"Are you sure this thing really works?"
Although Wei Heng had heard of some methods of fighting poison with poison, he had never seen anyone use it with his own eyes. If he was not careful, he might lose his life.
Yu Guiwan forced herself to change her clothes, sat down, and glanced at the poisonous snake in the cage. "Please come in." She narrowed her eyes.
She held out her hand and placed it on the table.
Nangong Yi released the poisonous snake in the cage only after getting permission. Nangong Yi blew a whistle, and the poisonous snake seemed to understand what Nangong Yi meant, and immediately crawled slowly towards Yu Guiwan.
But the poisonous snake didn't bite for a long time, and Nangong Yi's whistle hesitated for a moment before it sounded.
Yu Guiwan groaned and clenched his fists.
"puff."
She spat out a mouthful of blood and everyone looked at her nervously.
"This is the antidote. Feed it to your princess quickly." Nangong Yi took out the antidote and handed it over. Fuqiu quickly took the antidote and fed it to Yu Guiwan immediately.
"This will happen every day for the next few days, but it's only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. Although her life has been saved temporarily, it's still only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. Master Chu Yue still needs to take action."
"Then I'll take my leave first."
Before leaving, Nangong Yi took one last look at Yu Guiwan.
The method of fighting poison with poison made Yu Guiwan even weaker, and he fell asleep again not long after taking the antidote.
*
The next day.
Xie Sui finally woke up. When the maid found out he was awake, she immediately called Wei Heng over. Upon hearing the news, Wei Heng rushed over with her medicine box and felt his pulse.
"It's finally okay."
Wei Heng breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was good news.
"You just woke up. I asked the kitchen to prepare some light porridge for you." Wei Heng said as he poured a cup of warm water for Xie Sui and handed it to him.
Xie Sui nodded, took the warm water and drank it, then he felt his throat was much better. He asked, "Why don't I see A Wan?" He was a little confused. Logically, A Wan should be the first person to see him.
Even if he is not the first one, it has been so long since he woke up, why hasn’t he come yet?
"She stayed up all night to take care of you and only went to bed at dawn. Do you want me to wake her up now?"
Wei Heng was packing up the medicine box and didn't look directly at Xie Sui.
"No, let her rest for a while."
"Then you should get some rest. I still need to develop an antidote." Wei Heng walked out with the medicine box. He let out a sigh of relief after leaving the house. He could keep it a secret for a while longer.
……
It was not until lunchtime that Xie Sui realized something was wrong.
"Where's the princess?"
Xie Sui looked at Bei Chu who came to deliver lunch and asked.
Bei Chu answered with a stiff upper lip: "Prince, Princess... Princess is still resting." But he didn't dare to look directly into Xie Sui's eyes. As soon as he looked over, he would immediately reveal his fear.
Xie Sui's voice sank, full of oppression: "Bei Chu, now you dare to hide it from me?"
"Did something happen to the princess?!"
Xie Sui struggled to prop himself up and got out of bed, ready to leave when Bei Chu, kneeling on the ground, stopped him. "Your Highness, you've just recovered. You absolutely cannot catch a cold again. The princess..."
"Go away!"
Xie Sui threw Bei Chu aside and just as he walked out the door, he stopped a servant passing by and asked sternly, "Where is the princess?"
"Princess, the princess is in the west wing."
After hearing this, Xie Sui immediately ran over. Before he even reached her, he saw a maid carrying several basins of blood. Xie Sui clenched his fists and stepped closer.
As soon as he reached the door, Xie Sui saw the scene in front of him.
Xie Sui's pupils shrank slightly and he opened his eyes wide.
"Awan!"
Yu Guiwan had just been bitten by a poisonous snake again and vomited a lot of blood. Even the clothes on his chest were mostly stained red with blood, which looked shocking.
"Do not move!"
Nangong Yi saw Xie Sui coming and immediately spoke up to stop him, "Your Highness, please do not move. Otherwise, I can hardly guarantee that the princess's life can be saved."
Xie Sui's outstretched hands stopped in the air. Although he didn't understand the current situation, he could see that Nangong Yi was saving people.
