Luo Tan was afraid that Shen Miao would send her back now, so she immediately changed the topic and said, “Gao Yang went to the alchemy room to refine medicine to detoxify Brother-in-law. I thought he was just spouting nonsense. Now that I see Brother-in-law, I know it’s true.” She looked at Shen Miao. “Cousin, is Brother-in-law really seriously injured?”
Shen Miao did not want to hide it from her, so she nodded and said, “The Guiyuan Pills can only keep him alive for ten days at most. If Gao Yang still can’t make the antidote after ten days, he will be in danger.”
Luo Tan was terrified. “Is there no other way?”
“I’m thinking about it.” Shen Miao lowered her eyes. “The news has already spread to the emperor. The emperor is secretly recruiting doctors, but… while the grass grows the horse starves, it’s not enough.”
Luo Tan was silent for a moment before reaching out to hold Shen Miao’s hand and saying firmly, “Brother-in-law is such a hero. He will definitely be fine. The two of you will be together forever. I’m still waiting for you to give birth to a little nephew for me. Don’t worry. I’ll stay with you these days.”
Shen Miao sat by Xie Jingxing’s bed all day and fed him water from time to time. When she had nothing to do, she would read books at the side, but the books she was reading were all about the political situation and the history of the Daliang Dynasty.
She had to get to know the Daliang Dynasty as soon as possible so that she could come up with a countermeasure in the future. She really did not like being in a passive situation.
Luo Tan was also by Shen Miao’s side. Apart from going back to her room to sleep at night, she sat in the room with Shen Miao. It was rare for her to be so patient.
Three days passed quickly. For the past three days, Xie Jingxing had not opened his eyes once. Apart from Gao Yang who was in seclusion refining medicine in the alchemy room, Emperor Wen Hui also sent an old imperial physician with the best medical skills to take care of Xie Jingxing. WIth the old imperial physician around, Xie Jingxing’s condition was stabilized for the time being.
Everyone placed their hopes on Gao Yang. They only hoped that Gao Yang could make the antidote within ten days.
Unexpectedly, on the fourth day, Xie Jingxing’s condition suddenly worsened.
First, his pulse became extremely unstable, and his breathing was very rapid. His face was so pale that it was terrifying. The wound actually began to fester, looking very scary.
The old imperial physician came to take a look and shook his head with a sigh. He said that the poison had begun to spread. Without the three Guiyuan Pills, Xie Jingxing would probably be dead by now.
However, even if he was lucky enough to survive for ten days, it was hard to say if Gao Yang could come up with the antidote.
Xie Jingxing’s sudden deterioration made everyone feel uneasy, especially Shen Miao. Previously, although Xie Jingxing was unconscious, his life was at least stable. Now, Shen Miao could no longer lie to herself. She was forced to accept the fact that Xie Jingxing might never wake up again.
Although the old imperial physician’s medical skills were brilliant, he was not as brilliant as Gao Yang. Even Gao Yang was helpless, so naturally there was nothing he could do. After shaking his head repeatedly, he returned to the palace to report.
Uncle Tang hesitated for a long time before asking Shen Miao, “Madam, should we also inform Madam Ji…” Uncle Tang said every word with difficulty and dejection, as if it contained huge sadness.
