Chapter 622: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 622: Poison Dispersion and the Terrifying Space Upgrade (1)
Among the three main ingredients, the hundred-year-old red python gall is an excellent antidote but is extremely yin and cold, with a very aggressive medicinal nature. Only the mild yet detoxifying and restorative properties of the black lingzhi can suppress and neutralize it, making it safe for the human body.
The thousand-year-old ginseng is to restore and replenish Chu Heng's energy. Chu Heng has been poisoned for a long time, with his internal organs, blood, and bone marrow all tainted by toxins. He is now extremely weak, severely depleted. During the detoxification process, his vital blood and energy will also be expelled with the toxins. Without these, even if the toxins are successfully removed, he won't survive. Only the thousand-year-old ginseng can quickly replenish his essential energy; ordinary ginseng and similar remedies are useless for him.
The Ghost Doctor wasn't entirely confident in eliminating the heart-devouring poison in Chu Heng's body. The detoxification process would be excruciating, and he wasn't sure if Chu Heng had the strength to endure it. But there was no other way to prolong Chu Heng's life.
Emperor Huian understood this well. During the several hours of detoxification that followed, he stayed in the medicinal room, watching over Chu Heng and barely closing his eyes.
In the medicinal room, the still-unconscious Chu Heng lay naked in a hot medicinal bath, with only his head exposed. The three-foot-square bath was covered with dozens of medicinal herbs, both rare and common, filling the room with a pungent medicinal smell.
After a while, Chu Heng's pale face began to flush unnaturally, with a faint blue-black tinge. These streaks moved under his skin like black worms, making his once gentle face look grotesque and eerie.
Emperor Huian saw this clearly and gasped, quickly looking at the Ghost Doctor, who was seriously holding a porcelain bottle containing the hundred-year-old red python gall. He slowly poured the dark green liquid into the bath.
The instant the liquid entered the bath, the water started bubbling as if boiling, releasing an even more pungent odor that quickly filled the entire room.
Emperor Huian frowned instinctively, watching Chu Heng intently as the blue-black streaks became more pronounced, thrashing as if trying to break free of his skin.
Sweat beads appeared on Chu Heng's forehead, his face contorting further in pain, and faint groans escaped his throat, indicating the intense pain he was enduring.
Emperor Huian felt heartbroken, wishing he could take his child's place in bearing this agony. He resisted the urge to pull Chu Heng out of the bath, turning his head away with difficulty, his reddened eyes flashing with intense hatred.
At this moment, Emperor Huian did not know that the pain his beloved child would endure during detoxification was just beginning...
Outside the medicinal room, Yan Junyu paced anxiously, wanting to burst in every time there was silence inside.
Standing by a pillar, Xiao Ruiyuan watched the door expressionlessly, seemingly unconcerned about the situation inside. However, he hadn't moved a muscle in the past hour and a half.
Eunuch Liang, the chief eunuch, was also beside himself with worry, constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead, soaking several handkerchiefs.
With another hour and a half before dawn, Mo Yan was also anxious. She was worried about whether Chu Heng's poison could be successfully neutralized and also eager to return home before dawn without anyone noticing. If her family discovered she was missing, they would undoubtedly be extremely worried.
