Si Xi nodded vigorously and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Your Majesty and the others have returned from hunting a tiger. They have already gone to get the tiger's heart, and they will send it over soon."
Hearing this, Hongli's face, which had been tense all night, finally showed a smile, "Okay! Okay! Lao Wu has indeed lived up to my expectations." Hu and Xia Qing, who were standing aside, were already crying with joy and said no in excitement.
Speak up.
"Amitabha, God bless you." After saying this, Ling Ruo looked at Tao An and said, "Now that the tiger's heart has been found, the queen must be safe and sound, right?"
Facing this woman whose status was more noble than that of the emperor, Tao An bent down slightly and said: "I'm not completely sure, but I'm still 70 to 80 percent sure."
"That's good!" Soon after Ling Ruo finished speaking, Hong Zhou came in personally holding the bloody tiger heart. After handing it to Tao An, he knelt in front of Hong Li and said with deep exhaustion: "Finally, my brother
Live up to the emperor's expectations and return from hunting the tiger."
"Okay!" Hong Li personally helped Hong Zhou up, patted his shoulder hard and said, "It's really hard for you this time."
"All this is what I should do." As soon as Hong Zhou finished speaking, he heard Yong Zhang say: "Thanks to my fifth uncle this time, if he hadn't ignored his life and sacrificed himself to fight the tiger, he wouldn't have even taken his life.
Don’t give up on this tiger’s heart.”
Yongzhang's words stung Hong Zhou's ears, and he hurriedly said: "The Queen is a mother-in-law to the world, she is kind to all people, and she has a deep love for the emperor and her husband. If my brother's life is lost because of my incompetence in doing things, what else can I do for my brother?"
Come and see the emperor with dignity."
Hongli was happy in his heart, and without thinking about Yongzhang's words, he said movedly: "Lao Wu, thank you very much!" After saying that, he looked at Hong Zhou and said earnestly: "You are injured, go down quickly and let the imperial doctor see you.
Watch to prevent the injury from getting worse."
Hong Zhou quickly glanced at the unconscious Xiayue, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, my brother, please retire."
When passing by Yongzhang, he paused and left quickly. As soon as he stepped out of the palace door, he stumbled and fell to the ground. Ning Er quickly helped him up, "Your Majesty, I will help you go to the side.
The temple heals the wounds.”
Hong Zhou nodded, and Song Zihua shook his head when he saw the wounds on his body. There was a claw wound from his back to his waist, which was several feet long. Fortunately, it did not damage the bones and internal organs. Otherwise, after so long delay and bumpy running all the way, he would have been injured long ago.
Already dead.
After Song Zihua took the medicine and retired, Hong Zhou said: "Please tell me the details of what happened in the cave before."
Ning Er nodded, repeated what happened as he was told, and then said: "I think it was because the cave was too dark, so in the chaos, someone accidentally killed the tiger. Later, he was afraid of being punished, so he didn't dare to admit it."
"Where is Yongzhang? Where was he at that time?" Hong Zhou's question made Ning Er strange, and he said truthfully: "The third elder brother was behind my subordinates at the time." After a pause, he thought of something, and said in shock: "The prince is...
Do you doubt Third Brother?"
Hong Zhou asked instead, "You know the situation best. In your opinion, is it possible for Yongzhang?"
Ning Er thought for a while and said: "Based on the situation at that time, it was possible for everyone, and Third Brother was no exception. However, his subordinates thought that it could not be his doing, because after the tigress was found to be killed, Third Brother
My brother was very excited and nervous, and he immediately ran out to stop the prince from killing the male tiger, but unfortunately it was too late."
Hong Zhou frowned and said, "I know, please step back."
Ning Er responded, but did not leave. Instead, he knelt down and said, "I have never captured a female tiger alive. If you fail to live up to your expectations, please punish me!"
After so much time, Hong Zhou's anger had already subsided and he said: "That's it, everything has variables. You have tried your best. I can't blame you. Get up."
While they were talking, Tao An took out the medicinal powder that he had asked the palace servants to grind, sprinkled it on the still steaming tiger's heart, then lifted up Xianyue's sleeves, and made a cut on the inside of his arm with a silver knife;
It was strange that even though he was injured, no blood flowed down, only a bright red color appeared on the wound.
Fang Jian and others understood that this was a symptom of extreme deficiency of Qi and blood and loss of essence and blood. If Tao An's judgment was correct, he could draw out the poisonous insect, otherwise Xianyue would definitely die.
Tao An placed the tiger's heart sprinkled with medicinal powder on Xianyue's wound, and said seriously: "No matter what happens later, you all should be silent. This method can only be used once. If it scares the Gu insect, let it
If she returns to the Queen's body, even if the Great Luo Immortal descends to earth, she will not be able to save her."
Ling Ruo said in a cold voice: "Whoever dares to speak out and harm the Queen's life will be dragged out immediately and killed with a stick!"
Hearing this, everyone shut their mouths tightly, fearing that if they accidentally made any noise, they would be killed. As for Tao An, after confessing those words, he stared at the wound without saying a word.
After a while, a bulge began to appear under the skin of Xianyue's upper arm, and gradually moved downstream, as if something was crawling, which made people shudder.
The bulge gradually moved downstream and came to the vicinity of Tao An's wound. Immediately afterwards, everyone saw a scene of numbness on the scalp, and only saw a green thing as thick as a child's finger protruding from the wound, like a head.
, but there are no eyes, and they are as pointed as vertebrae.
Obviously, this is the malnutrition Gu mentioned by Tao An. Compared with Xianyue, who was almost exhausted, the tiger's heart that was just taken out was undoubtedly more attractive to it, so it crawled out of Xianyue's body.
However, it did not immediately climb onto the tiger's heart, but exposed half of its body, as if it was testing something. Qiao Yan'er seemed to be frightened by this scene, covering her mouth tightly and stepping back. As a result, she stepped on a Chen's
The palace maid's feet felt painful, and she subconsciously let out a exclamation. By the time she realized it, it was already too late.
Chan Gu, who had already stretched out most of his body, immediately retracted when he heard the noise. As soon as the sound came out, Tao An knew that something had changed, and immediately stretched out his fingers to press on Xianyue's wound, and then pulled hard.
Take the silk rope used to hang the tent hook and wrap it firmly under the wound of Xianyue.
Fortunately, he moved quickly enough, and the malnutrition Gu could only retract most of its body, with the smaller half still exposed. Seeing that it could not get to the top, it quickly wriggled to the bottom, but unexpectedly it was also tied tightly there.
It was so tight that it couldn't get in, and it was so anxious that it let out a tiny scream!
"The beast still wants to run away!" As Tao An said, he took the porcelain bottle placed on the small table and sprinkled all the powder inside on the malnutrition Gu that started to burrow to the side. The next moment, a tooth-ache-inducing scream came out.
It rang again and kept ringing. Although the sound was very subtle, it was still creepy. Some timid concubines even closed their eyes and did not dare to look.
