921 Injury (2)
If it were any other day, Uncle Tang would have come out to welcome them, but today, there was no one.
Shen Miao was anxious. Without a word, she walked into the courtyard and saw Uncle Tang standing at the door, pacing back and forth with a worried expression.
Shen Miao felt like her heart was being clenched. Uncle Tang happened to see her too. Shen Miao immediately went forward and asked directly, “How is he?”
“His Highness is seriously injured. Young Master Gao is treating him.” Uncle Tang sighed with a worried expression. “I haven’t seen His Highness like this in a long time.”
Shen Miao thought for a moment before pushing the door open and walking in.
As soon as she entered the room, she felt a strong smell of blood. Tie Yi was also inside. He was wringing a handkerchief at the side. The blood in the basin was shocking. Gao Yang was frowning tightly. When he saw Shen Miao enter, he was slightly stunned. Then, he said, “You… know it already, right?”
Shen Miao quickly walked to the bed. Xie Jingxing’s eyes were tightly shut, and his face was as pale as paper. The clothes on his upper body were pulled open, and there were layers of arrow wounds on his abdomen.
What made Shen Miao’s heart palpitate was that the blood around the wound was purple. She pointed at Xie Jingxing’s wound and said in a trembling voice, “This…”
“It’s poisonous,” Gao Yang interrupted her.
Shen Miao felt like she had been struck by lightning.
A moment later, she calmed down. “Can you remove the poison?”
Gao Yang shook his head.
“This is not made of one kind of poison, but several kinds of poison mixed together. If I want to detoxify him, I have to first distinguish what kind of poison it is. This will take time, but the poison will kill him before that…”
“Think of a way to keep him alive. In short, his life is in your hands. Nothing can go wrong!” Shen Miao shouted sternly.
Gao Yang was stunned. He knew that Shen Miao was by no means gentle and kind, but this was the first time he had seen her speak so harshly, as if she was instructing her officials.
Even Tie Yi was stunned. He had always felt that although Shen Miao was smart and scheming, she was soft-hearted. She usually had a gentle smile on her face and was less ruthless. If she became Xie Jingxing’s wife, she would inevitably become his burden in the future. Now that he saw Shen Miao like this, he suddenly thought of the late empress.
Shen Miao took a deep breath to calm herself down before asking Gao Yang, “How many days will it take for you to cure him?”
“He can last at most seven days, and it will take me at least half a month to remove the poison.” For the first time, Gao Yang looked helpless and even wanted to give up. “The most important thing now is that he can’t last seven days at all. His old injuries have relapsed.”
Shen Miao looked at Xie Jingxing. When he was lying on the bed, he looked very quiet and less troublesome. On his beautiful skin, there were countless scars left behind during the tough battles.
She suddenly thought of something and said to Gao Yang, “Wait a moment.” Then, she left the room and walked to the other room. Jingzhe and Gu Yu were waiting outside. That day, the two of them did not go to the hunting ground. Instead, they waited for Shen Miao in the mansion only to see Xie Jingxing returning in a bad state. They were already flustered. At this moment, they were afraid that Shen Miao would be worried sick and wanted to comfort her, but they saw Shen Miao go straight to the dressing table, take out a small box from the drawer under the dressing table, and open it.
