Chapter 64 Antidote, Conditions
Yan Qing frowned and thought deeply, and the man's bitter voice sounded in his ears: "I will never betray His Highness, never."
"Pull out its claws and knock out its teeth so that it can no longer attack its owner."
This sentence has a certain meaning, clearly hiding deep regret and self-blame, as well as a strong desire to show loyalty to her.
Some flashes of light flashed through his mind, and Yan Qing frowned slightly. Why did he regret and blame himself, and why did he need to show his loyalty so humbly?
Is it because he has memories of past lives like her and knows that he has done things he shouldn't have done?
Yan Qing casually broke off the flower closest to her, thoughtfully.
"Doctor Yan." At the entrance of the path, a maid stood respectfully and said in a subtle tone, "Princess, please see me."
The eldest princess asks for an audience.
Yan Qing raised the corners of her mouth slightly, pondering this sentence with interest, feeling instantly good.
This was probably the reason why the maid's tone was subtle.
The arrogant and domineering princess, when she wanted to meet someone, had she ever used the word "asking to meet"?
Yan Qing said calmly: "Let her come over."
"yes."
The maid left in fear.
After a while, she cautiously led Ji Mingzhu over. Today, the eldest princess of Chu State was wearing a less bright dress, a dull red color, which looked low-key but still distinguished her status.
"Yan Shen——" Ji Mingzhu raised her eyes, and her voice suddenly got stuck in her throat. She stared coldly at Yan Qing's stunning appearance, with a look of shock in her eyes, "Are you Dr. Yan?"
Yan Qing said calmly: "It's guaranteed to be replaced if it's fake."
Ji Mingzhu said with some jealousy: "I have a rare and beautiful appearance."
Yan Qing chuckled, "You're not bad either."
Ji Mingzhu quickly regained her composure. Although she was full of hostility towards Yan Qing, her attitude was no longer as ferocious and arrogant as before. "I came here today to ask about the antidote."
This kind of thing usually doesn't require her to come in person, but three days have passed since she released the young master of the family, and Yan Qing has yet to send her the antidote.
Ji Mingzhu wanted to send her maid over to ask, but she was worried that if the maid was used to pretending to be a bully, and if she angered Ji Weiyu and Yan Qing, the antidote would be elusive, so she took the trip herself.
"Antide?" Yan Qing was puzzled, "What antidote?"
Ji Mingzhu's face turned green instantly, and she suppressed her anger: "The antidote for this princess' poisoning."
Is it possible that you still want to default on your debt?
Yan Qing smiled lightly: "Actually, there is no antidote."
What?
"As long as the eldest princess stays calm in the future and doesn't do things that make people and gods angry, the poison won't break out easily." Yan Qing's tone was calm, as if she was talking about an insignificant thing, "Gu insects are spiritual little things, you Don’t mess with it, don’t let it feel negative emotions, and cultivate yourself well. It will live well in your body and make the princess radiant and more beautiful.”
As she finished each word, Ji Mingzhu's face turned extremely ugly: "You lied to me?"
Yan Qing turned around and walked back, her tone becoming more and more indifferent: "I don't have time to lie to you, I am telling the truth. As long as you stay calm from now on and avoid being agitated and angry, the poison will not attack."
After a pause, she said: "This little thing has very keen senses. If you have a bad temper, it can feel it in your body. A slight upset will make it restless, and a big anger will make it run around and tear." Bite... The eldest princess is almost thirty, it will be good for you to learn to cultivate your character from now on. "
Ji Mingzhu's body stiffened, and she wanted to kill her immediately, but she was afraid of triggering a poisonous attack in anger, so she could only endure it: "I just want the antidote. How can you, a great doctor, not have the antidote?"
"I'm telling the truth, and the antidote is yourself." Yan Qing said calmly, "I can guarantee that as long as the eldest princess lives in peace and contentment and stops making trouble, this poison will never attack again. You might as well give it a try ”
Ji Mingzhu believes in bullshit guarantees!
In her opinion, this female doctor is treacherous and full of nonsense!
She just deliberately wanted to involve her and deliberately refused to give her the antidote in order to threaten her.
She simply deserves death!
As soon as this idea flashed through his mind, there was a faint commotion in his heart. Ji Mingzhu was so frightened that her body immediately froze, "It... they are going to start again."
Yan Qing turned to glance at him: "Is the eldest princess cursing me in her heart?"
"I don't!"
"Lying." Yan Qing smiled faintly, "But it doesn't matter if you lie. Gu will not be unhappy because you lied."
Ji Mingzhu took a deep breath. She really, really wanted to chop this person into pieces.
"Go back."
"How can you give me the antidote?" Ji Mingzhu refused to give up, "You can set whatever conditions you want."
Yan Qing frowned.
"This princess has been domineering for so many years. How can her temperament change so easily? If you have to endure the pain of being bitten by thousands of insects just because you are angry, are you too cruel?" Ji Mingzhu tried her best to be patient and tried to He said in a reasonable tone to Yan Qing, "Give me the antidote and I will agree to any conditions you have."
Yan Qing raised his eyebrows: "Any conditions?"
Ji Mingzhu nodded without hesitation: "Any conditions."
Yan Qing was silent for a moment, as if thinking deeply: "The Queen Mother has been dissatisfied with me in the past few days. Either she sent you to cause trouble for me, or she sent Marquis Zhongyi to find trouble——"
"We are not here to cause trouble." Ji Mingzhu quickly defended, "The Queen Mother just called you into the palace to see you, and she has no ill intentions."
"I'm just a doctor, responsible for curing illnesses and saving lives." Yan Qing smiled lightly, "The Queen Mother is so noble, how can I afford to offend her?"
Can't afford to offend?
Ji Mingzhu just wanted to sneer. He dared to poison her, the eldest princess. Did she believe what she said?
"I want the eldest princess to go to the palace to ask the Queen Mother why she summoned me and His Royal Highness the Son of God to the palace." Yan Qing frowned, as if he was a little embarrassed and uneasy. "If the Queen Mother doesn't kill me, I should of course go to pay my respects to her, but I'm afraid of death..."
Ji Mingzhu said coldly: "The Queen Mother is not going to kill you, you can go without worry."
Yan Qing still shook his head: "The eldest princess should go to the palace to ask."
Ji Mingzhu couldn't help getting angry again, but this time the anger came very briefly. If she could get the antidote just by going to the palace to see the Queen Mother, she had no reason not to agree.
"Okay, that's what you said." Ji Mingzhu nodded, "This princess will go to the palace to see the queen mother. If you still don't keep your word this time, this princess will not let you go even if she dies."
Yan Qing nodded slowly, and raised her hand to brush the blue gem earrings on her ears as if inadvertently, and then her fingertips flicked imperceptibly.
Ji Mingzhu followed her movements and looked: "Your earrings are very special."
"Indeed, they are very special." Yan Qing said nonchalantly, and would not tell her that earrings can also hide poison. "The eldest princess should go to the palace earlier. I will rest after dark."
After that, she added, "Since the eldest princess wants the antidote, there is no need to tell the queen mother that you are poisoned. Otherwise, I will be in a bad mood and the eldest princess will suffer again."
Ji Mingzhu's face suddenly changed, stared at her hatefully, and left with a wave of her sleeves.
It just so happened that she hadn't seen the Queen Mother for many days, so she went to the palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother and ask her to punish this female doctor who should be cut into pieces.
Yan Qing watched her leave with an indifferent and calm expression, and a deep luster in his eyes.
