"She's the poison of the 'Scaly Serpent'." Ashina said indefinitely: "That kind of snake is covered with rough scales all over its body, has a pair of sharp horns on its head, lives in a gravel area, and is very poisonous. Their venom is often used on the battlefield to quench clusters of arrows or blades. A poisoned person only needs to be cut by a quenched weapon, and in less than a quarter of an hour he will be poisoned to death. ”

Is this a declaration that His Majesty has no cure? Ashina's indefinite words frightened Scarlet Feather's face like earth, "Then Your Majesty, she ......"

"Isn't she still dead? Listen to me first. Ashina continued: "Because this snake is difficult to catch, its venom is very rare, so in order to quench the sharp part of the weapon with venom to increase the chance of the enemy being poisoned, some people came up with the idea of mixing the venom with a thick wine syrup before applying it. Later, many people didn't know the reason for this, and thought that this poison had to be used in this way. The poison mixed with wine syrup will also make the poisoned person paralyzed, faint and lose his combat effectiveness in a short period of time, but the toxicity will not be so easy to cause death. If you are lucky enough to get the antidote in time, you can be cured. However, there are still not many opportunities to get fresh herbs in time on the battlefield, and even if the toxicity is weakened, this poison is still very lethal. ”

When the old imperial doctor heard this, he also felt that he knew what to expect, and hurriedly asked, "May I ask what is the shape of this 'phoenix'?" What are the traits? Your Highness, can you describe it and let the minister think about it? ”

"'Anchovy' is the kind of flower that grows on the anchovy tree, is white when it first blooms, and matures and turns golden." Ashina also realized that it might be that the names of the two places were different, and patiently explained: "The shape of the flower is ...... The five petals are slender and curly, but the stamens inside hang long. Like the tail of a phoenix. By the way, it smells faintly fragrant. ”

Several imperial doctors glanced at each other, although they had already described them in detail, but there were more than three or five kinds of herbs with similar shapes? Some herbs are similar to the degree. The layman would not have been able to see that he might find a few herbs that matched his description for His Highness to identify, but he might not be able to distinguish them.

At this time. Ke Tuyu just happened to come in a blazing fire, and knelt on one knee in front of Ashina to salute. After Ashina knew his intentions for an indefinite period, he couldn't care less about disliking him, and the two of them chattered and talked to each other in Turkic.

After a while, Ke Tuyu said to the anxiously waiting imperial doctors: "Ladies and gentlemen, the 'phoenix tail flower' and 'goose foot grass' we are talking about should be what your country calls 'honeysuckle' and 'duck' foot wood. ”

Everyone suddenly realized. That honeysuckle is indeed the trait described by Ashina Wuji just now, when the flowers are ripe, now imagine that it is indeed like a phoenix's tail. The people of the Central Plains named it "honeysuckle" because of its adaptability, while the Turks named it after its appearance. And the duck foot wood has several branches on each leaf. Looks like the paws of a duck's feet. Although the Turks observed the same characteristics, they saw geese flying more through the air than ducks roosting in the water, so it is not surprising that they called it "goose's foot grass". So the imperial doctor hurriedly asked someone to go to the herb garden in the palace to pick it back for verification.

A quarter of an hour later, a handful of honeysuckle and duck's foot wood were presented.

"It's these two medicines." Ashina has no future. But he didn't immediately tell the imperial doctor how to treat it, but glared at everyone and said, "You all go out, I'll treat her." As long as one of you is present, I won't do anything. ”

When the imperial doctors heard this, they were all happy to have the imperial husband take on this great responsibility alone. With his words, no matter what the situation is, he can get rid of the relationship, so he has to retreat. Ke Tuyu, who knew Ashina's indefinite temperament, didn't dare to stay for a long time, and withdrew from the door with the imperial doctor and the attendant. Only Scarlet Feather was the most worried, but he didn't dare to be disobedient, for fear of delaying His Majesty's illness. After retreating to the screen at the door, he helped everyone close the door and stayed for himself.

Fortunately, the screen is poplar, not embroidered, and there is no cut-out, so the scarlet feathers can be well hidden behind the screen without being easily noticed. He waited for the movement inside to calm down before quietly looking into the room through the gap in the screen.

I saw Ashina sitting on the edge of Zuo Ying's bed indefinitely, with a slight angle on her back to her scarlet feather. He stared at the unconscious Zuo Ying, his mouth opened and closed, as if he was saying something, but because there was a distance and the voice was too small, Scarlet Feather couldn't hear a word here.

"Could it be that this is some kind of incantation?" Scarlet Feather said in her heart.

After a few moments, Ashina bent down indefinitely and pulled out a dagger encrusted with gems from the shaft of his boot. The moment the cold and miserable blade of the dagger appeared, Scarlet Feather was so shocked that he almost cried out - he remembered the strange conversation with His Majesty about how to take His Majesty's head on the way back to the palace when Ashina was tied up indefinitely; Could it be that at this moment, Ashina Wuji is trying to deceive everyone, take His Majesty's head, and abscond back to the desert?!

"Stop!" Scarlet Feather stepped out of the screen with an arrow, and at the same time, the long sword was already drawn in his hand!

But after all, he was a step slower, and just as he approached Ashina Wuji, the sharp knife in Ashina's hand had already stabbed into Zuo Ying's skin, but it was not stabbed at her vital point, but a palm-length knife cut vertically on her arm. He remained focused, seemingly unfazed by the sudden appearance of the scarlet feather, and then spat out something that had been stuffed in his mouth into his palm, and then covered the fresh knife edge. It turned out that he was not talking with his mouth open and closed just now, but put fresh herbs in his mouth and chewed them so that he could chew out the medicinal juice.

Although Zuo Ying's slender and white arm was cut alive, and blood flowed, which made Scarlet Yu feel a pain in his heart, he knew that Ashina had no intention of harming him, but was really rescuing Zuo Ying, so he finally put his mind at ease.

After Ashina applied the medicine to Zuo Ying's wound indefinitely, he turned his head and glared at the scarlet feather who was still holding a sword in his hand, and the tiger was majestic and terrifying.

"Humph! Who are you, I, Ashina, and Indefinite? If I'm going to take her life, do I need to wait for her to be unconscious?! He said angrily, "The next time you dare to draw your sword against me, I will regard it as your challenge to me, and I will not give up until I cut you under the sword!" ”

Scarlet Feather knew he was offended, but he knew that even if he was given another choice, he would definitely do it; He is not worried that he will be charged with the crime, he is only worried that if the other party really intends to harm and he hesitates to stop it, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"If it's for Your Majesty," Scarlet Feather said with a slight bow, "Scarlet Feather is willing to die." ”

Ashina looked at Scarlet Feather, who was a little apologetic, but did not give in at all, and thought, this bloodless muddy boy usually looks soft and docile like a little white rabbit that can only be slaughtered, he is a little unpleasant, but he didn't expect to be so bold and fearless at this time. On the other hand, he wondered in turn, how much ability did she have to do it when there was such a loyal and willing person to die for her by the side of this stinky little empress?

"Humph!" Ashina sneered indefinitely, "Don't stand stupidly, help." Mash some herbs and feed them to her. ”

Scarlet Feather nodded hurriedly, put away the saber, and found the medicine and stone mortar on the shelf next to him, put some honeysuckle and duck foot wood into it, and pounded it carefully. In a short time, most of the dark green medicinal juice of the porcelain bowl was pounded out.

He brought the medicinal juice to the square table next to the bed, sat down beside Zuo Ying, picked her up, let her head rest on his shoulder, and then opened her lips with one hand, and slowly fed the medicinal juice into her mouth with a soup spoon in the other. Every time she feeds, close her mouth in time and stretch her neck as much as possible to help her swallow the medicine. And there is always some medicinal juice that will inevitably flow out of the corners of the mouth, which is really not efficient.

Ashina couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted to Scarlet Feather: "I'll come!" Here, you come and cover it! Don't use bandages, they will absorb the medicine; Just use your hands. ”

Scarlet Feather then sat down and pressed the wound on Zuo Ying's hand to feed the medicine according to Ashina's indefinite instructions, and saw if he had any better way to feed the medicine.

I saw that after Ashina hugged Zuo Ying's body indefinitely, he would choke her jaw with one hand and open her mouth, and pick up the medicine bowl with the other. Just when Scarlet Feather thought that he was going to pour the medicine directly from the bowl into Zuo Ying's mouth, he saw him bring the medicine bowl to his lips and take a mouthful, then held her face with both hands, puffed her slightly open lips, and fed the medicine into her mouth in a mouth-to-mouth manner. The lips of the two were tightly sealed, and the medicinal juice would not easily flow out at all, and soon Zuo Ying's throat could be seen swallowing.

When Scarlet Feather saw this scene, she first lost her mind for a moment, and then she was so shocked that she immediately lowered her head, not daring to continue looking, she only felt that her face was hot, and her heart was beating hard, but then the taste was sour and astringent, which made people sad.

However, this method is very efficient, and after a while, the rest of the medicine will be fed.

Scarlet Feather easily saw that the medicine bowl that had been put down was empty, so he dared to raise his head, and his voice couldn't help but be a little unsteady, "I'll go and pound some more medicinal juice." ”

"No need." Ashina put Zuo Ying's body back on the table indefinitely, "The antidote will also be excessive, and the current amount should be about the same." ”

He had a hint of nostalgia for the feeling of feeding the medicine just now - when he choked the little girl's lips, the silky softness that he inadvertently felt between his lips and tongue made his heart flutter at that time. He Ashina is a big husband who stands up to the sky and the earth, not a villain who takes advantage of people's danger, and he feels disgusted that he actually has such a thought.

Scarlet Feather seemed relieved to hear that she didn't need to feed any more medicine.

"Bloodless muddy boy, what are you blushing about?" Ashina said angrily: "This is saving people." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." When Scarlet Feather said this, her face became even hotter, and her voice was so small that she could barely hear herself.
