I Conquer the World For My Duke - C81
Uncle Zhu seemed to have been hit by something, as he raised his head in shock, his cloudy eyes revealed a trace of a strange light!
Feng Linyuan raised his hand and opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
“Master Hou!” Bai Zheng’s breathing stagnated as she hurriedly rushed back to Feng Linyuan’s side. Not knowing what else to do, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off’s lips.
Soong Yiqing flung the Uncle Zhu aside and turned pale in shock when he saw that Feng Linyuan had fainted.
After Bai Zheng wiped the blood off her face, she looked at the pale white Feng Linyuan in front of him and suddenly felt a deep sense of helplessness surge into her heart. At this moment, she really regretted her choice. Why did she want to learn chemistry instead of medicine?
But there was no use in panicking now. After panicking for just a moment, she tried her best to calm her heart, and turned to look at Uncle Zhu and said: “Uncle Zhu! Didn’t you say that you can protect the marquis for three months? I ask Uncle Zhu to keep his word. ” As he spoke, he stood up and made way.
Uncle Zhu who was called out was originally standing there looking at Feng Linyuan, stunned. Only after hearing Bai Zheng’s words did his expression loosen a little.
He turned and walked over to his own small medicine chest. He opened the lid, but his hand brushed past the bottles and jars he used to pick up. He reached into the far corner and pulled out a small, unremarkable wooden jar.
He held onto the wooden jar as if he was holding onto something heavy. Step by step, he walked towards Feng Linyuan.
Bai Zheng’s heart was suddenly filled with an intense unease. She stopped Uncle Zhu: “Uncle Zhu, what is this in your hands?”
Uncle Zhu’s lifeless gaze slowly shifted until it landed on Bai Zheng’s face. “Don’t worry, Miss Bai. If anything happens to the Marquis, this old man will sacrifice my life as your master.”
“What do you mean? What exactly is this thing? ” Bai Zheng asked, but even she did not realize, that her questioning voice was trembling.
Uncle Zhu looked at the small wooden jar in his hand and sighed.
“Even though this old man still has a month left, Master Hou is extremely likely to be like what happened just now. He vomited blood, fainted, vomited blood, fainted …” “Until my blood runs out and I die.”
Bai Zheng’s head exploded, and her chest seemed to have been struck ruthlessly by something.
“You mean that the so-called month that the duke is doing so is only when she’s about to die. Will she be unconscious most of the time?” After a long while, Bai Zheng finally found her voice and said hoarsely.
“Exactly.” The Uncle Zhu replied with a bitter smile.
Bai Zheng looked at the wooden jar in Uncle Zhu’s hand. “Then what is this?”
Uncle Zhu raised the thing in his hand. “Senior Brother left this for me all those years ago, so I can use it as a life-saving medicine at critical moments.”
“Since it’s such a good item, why did the Uncle Zhu need to take it out now?”
When Feng Linyuan was just poisoned by the purple capsule, or when he was first poisoned by the Spirit Valley and Bone Corrosion Grass, why did he not take it out?
Seemingly knowing where Bai Zheng’s question came from, Uncle Zhu replied lightly, “Even my master was helpless against Master Hou’s condition back then. All he could do was protect him until she turned 25, let alone me and Senior Brother. Senior Brother’s medicine, I have never thought of using it on Master Hou. ”
“Your master? “Could it be …” Bai Zheng was startled.
Uncle Zhu nodded: “That’s right, the genius doctor Lian Feimo is my master.”
Bai Zheng had a sudden realisation, but that was not the case.
As Bai Zheng looked at the painful expression on Feng Linyuan’s face, she had a nagging feeling that the medicine taken out by the Uncle Zhu was not as simple as just being useless.
Uncle Zhu explained once again: “Since this pill can cure the hundred poisons, it must be extremely poisonous to begin with. Previously, I didn’t dare to recklessly use it on Master Hou, but now …”
Right now, Feng Linyuan’s body was in a very critical condition, so he had no choice but to give it a shot.
“What you’re saying is that once the pill is consumed, it will either temporarily suppress the poison within the marquis’ body, or accelerate the release of the poison, causing the marquis to lose his life?” Bai Zheng grabbed hold of the main point and asked quickly.
“Exactly.” The Uncle Zhu nodded dejectedly.
“You can’t!” Soong Yiqing had already reacted, he rushed forward and grabbed Uncle Zhu by the arm, “You want to kill him! Uncle Zhu, how can you do this!? ”
“Do you have a way to save the marquis? What good idea do you have?” The Uncle Zhu asked.
Soong Yiqing quietened down all of a sudden.
At this moment, the room was filled with a solidified aura, and even the breathing seemed to have become shallow.
“Really, is there no other way?” After a long while, Bai Zheng spoke again.
The Uncle Zhu shook his head solemnly.
“If Master is still here, maybe he is. It was just that Master had long ago become an ancient figure. As for my senior brother, he wholeheartedly studies poison techniques and is inferior to me in the art of medicine. This old man was assigned by my master to stay and save the Marquis. ”
Soong Yiqing had already completely understood what was going on. He walked forward: “Uncle Zhu, is your senior brother the genius doctor, Zhou Sheng, Zhou Yuanning?”
Uncle Zhu nodded: “Yes.”
“Godly Doctor Zhou Sheng?” Bai Zheng looked at Soong Yiqing suspiciously.
Soong Yiqing answered: “Divine Doctor Zhou Sheng, back then when your Yongding City heard about that plague, although it was very decisive, it was still very vicious. All the sick and their relatives were quarantined to the outskirts of the city and only a small amount of medicine was given. The plague had been severe, and had isolated tens of thousands of people. Finally, Godly Doctor Zhou Sheng entered the cave. Relying only on the few medicines he had left behind earlier, he had cured the patient.
Everyone in the world said, Godly Doctor Zhou Sheng, the brilliant hand of benevolence, a living Buddha.
But after the Yongding City plague, no one has seen the genius doctor, Zhou Sheng. ”
After Bai Zheng finished listening, she had some understanding of this Uncle Zhu senior brother.
~ For some reason, Bai Zheng felt a sense of trust towards a medicine left by such a person.
Just that, if he himself came out, according to Uncle Zhu, Zhou Yuanning’s entire heart was focused on researching poison, maybe Feng Linyuan really had a chance of survival.
“Uncle Zhu, since this Divine Doctor Zhou is your senior brother, do you know where he is now?” Bai Zheng asked.
Uncle Zhu sighed, “Senior brother was originally a doctor, but was fond of studying poison techniques. You were displeased by master, so after leaving the sect ten years ago, you never came back. “Speaking of which, it’s been ten years since I’ve had news of Senior Brother.”
Ten years … Bai Zheng’s heart sank.
A person without any news for ten years, it was unknown whether they were alive or dead, how could he possibly find that Zhou Yuanning?
“This medicine was left behind by him before he left.” Uncle Zhu looked at the small wooden jar in his hand, then looked at Bai Zheng, “Miss Bai.”
Bai Zheng raised her eyes and looked at Uncle Zhu.
Uncle Zhu passed the wooden jar over to him. After Bai Zheng mysteriously received it, she asked in surprise, “Uncle Zhu wants me?”
“Although the duke is drowsy, he can occasionally be conscious for a bit. Miss Bai, now that you are Master Hou’s future wife, whether you eat this medicine or not, this old man does not dare to make the decision on my own, I would be troubling you to discuss the decision with Master Hou. “
