Chapter 190: The Secret of the Emperor's Blood
"Hehe, I don't want to save him, what did he give me? A Jiang Rank Shadow? It's a burden to fart, and as for those three children, I haven't seen them, what younger brothers and sisters, does it have anything to do with me......
Xiao Yan said, snorting with disdain.
Chu Yi didn't speak, just looked at him, with a shallow smile, and his clear eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Slowly, Xiao Yan's ears were dyed crimson.
He pressed his hot ears and said in a muffled voice, "Okay, okay, I didn't save him for you, and I don't want him to think that you are trying to repay your kindness, I just have blood and useless use, idle, okay."
Chu Yi: "Then let's tell him that it is my medicinal herbs, maybe as soon as my uncle is moved, the horses sent to our Yan Kingdom will be doubled."
Xiao Yan finally said what was in his heart: "...... Female businesswoman."
"Thank you for the compliment," Chu Yi said with a smile, "No businessman, no woman, I am half of the Gu family."
Isn't it just that she recognized an uncle, if one more uncle can have five thousand more war horses, she can recognize ten more.
The play had to be done, and the two went back to the palace to "find" the medicinal materials for the antidote.
In the Mingyue Pavilion, Xiao Yan took the dagger she handed over in front of Chu Yi.
"At least half a bowl is needed." Xiao Yan said.
The dagger glowing with cold light reflected his handsome face, and his phoenix eyes were also printed with silver shadows.
"If you are afraid, wait outside." Xiao Yan rolled up his sleeves, revealing his white forearms, and put the cold blade across it, and said in a deep voice.
It was he who wanted to cut himself, but he was still worried about whether Chu Yi would be afraid.
Chu Yi shook his head, staring at the criss-crossing light-colored scars on his forearm, his apricot eyes were serious and soft: "You are here to save people, how can I be afraid?" Xiao Yan, I feel sorry for you."
Xiao Yan's heart trembled, and the corners of his lips rose more and more: "Thank you princess for being distressed, but if the princess is sad, the princess will also feel sorry for the princess."
After saying that, he no longer hesitated, and with a wave of the dagger, there was an additional blood mark on his left arm in an instant.
He pursed his lips without saying a word, and blood trickled down into the empty jade bowl on the table.
Xiao Yan's cut wound was a little small, and the blood stopped on its own before it reached the bottom of the bowl, so he could only scratch it harder again.
"Slow down." And this time, Chu Yi's breathing slowed down by half a beat, and his fingertips curled up unconsciously.
"I'll ask Xunchun to make duck blood vermicelli soup tonight, and I'll give it all to you." She spoke, her voice suffocating.
All she saw was that Xiao Yan had taken his own blood once.
But what she didn't see were the countless scars on his arms, countless times in his past life and this life.
In the medicine that the Great Demon King fed her, he was afraid that she would be poisoned, so how much of his own blood did he secretly add to it?
After a while, half of the blood in the jade bowl was accounted for, Xiao Yan stopped bleeding and said, "The blood is too bloody, I have to make a big pot of medicine for my uncle."
He called Uncle Wei Yuanshan, but it became more and more pleasant.
Chu Yi said, "You're not afraid of your uncle tasting it."
Xiao Yan subconsciously said, "Boiled harder, and add some coptis to cover the taste, I am the best at this-"
Uh, he seems to have accidentally said something.
Chu Yi's eyes widened, his eyes flushed red, and he paused word by word: "You, say, what?"
The distress just now was gone, and now she only had Xiao Yan's words left in her mind: boil it harder, and add some coptis to block the taste, I am the best at this.
No wonder the medicine she drank in her previous life was so bitter!
He's not human, she's dying, and he actually adds Coptis to the medicine?
She doesn't like to eat candy, and he taunts her every time he gives her candy after she drinks the medicine!
Xiao Yan did it on purpose!
Chu Yi gritted his teeth and controlled his emotions sadly and angrily.
When she saw Xiao Yan injured, she added Coptis chinensis to his medicine, why didn't she torture him to death!
Even if Xiao Yan in front of her was not the Great Demon King in her previous life, she would still count this account on him.
Xiao Yan realized it later, carefully avoided her eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Ah Yi, that duck blood vermicelli soup......
Chu Yi sneered: "Xunchun boils duck blood vermicelli soup for this palace, what does it have to do with you?"
「……」
Xiao Yan sighed helplessly, Ah Yi was really resentful.
He secretly ate a sugar in his pocket to replenish his blood, bandaged the wound on his arm with ease, and picked up the jade bowl: "The minister will go to the Tai Hospital and boil medicine for Wei Yuanshan."
Chu Yi closed his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to him.
When he left, she returned to Weiyang Palace angrily and told Xunchun to use duck blood vermicelli soup for dinner.
Xiao Yan came to the Tai Hospital alone, found the familiar Du Yuanju, borrowed a stove, and boiled a pot of perfect tonic soup according to the prescription.
With his own blood, the poison in Wei Yuanshan will inevitably be cured of the disease, and it can also replenish the body.
Thinking so, he smiled and threw a handful of Coptis chinensis and stinky Afoetum into the medicine.
More than an hour passed, and Xiao Yan poured his own blood into it and stirred it again.
After a while, a pot of tonic soup with an extremely complex taste, dark color, and strange bubbles was finally boiled.
Xiao Yan wrinkled his brows, silently found a square scarf to cover his nose, and then put it into the medicine cup and found Chu Yi.
"Let's go, the poisoning can't be delayed."
As he spoke, he handed another square scarf to Chu Yi.
Chu Yi took the scarf suspiciously: "What is this going to do?"
"Put it on," Xiao Yan's voice came from behind the scarf, "it will be useful."
Chu Yi glanced at the pitch-black decoction in the translucent medicine cup, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Xiao Yan and Wei Yuanshan, do you have a grudge?
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Ah Yan, little princess, why are you ...... See me in the veil?"
Wei Yuanshan, who was on the sickbed, looked at the two people covered with scarves in front of him, his golden eyes full of doubts.
Chu Yi only showed a pair of clear apricot eyes, his eyes were innocent, and he said nonsense seriously: "Ahem, uncle, Xiao Yan and I occasionally feel cold, and I am afraid that I will be sick to you."
"I see, that little princess, you should pay attention to your body and wear more."
"Yes, thank you for your concern."
Xiao Yan said: "This is the princess who has worked hard for a long time from the Yan State Treasury and Tai Hospital to find the antidote medicinal materials, and I also boiled them with my own hands, uncle, drink it while it is hot."
Wei Yuanshan was very moved: "Thank you for your trouble, and thank you for the life-saving grace of the little princess and Yan Guo."
Yu Bing secretly stayed away from a few people, only Chu Feibai and Jiang Mufan simply stepped forward, not knowing what would happen next.
Xiao Yan simply stuffed the medicine cup into Jiang Mufan's hand, and pulled Chu Yi away: "In this case, you feed it to your uncle to drink, Ah Yi and I are a little tired from boiling medicine, go next door to rest for a while."
Jiang Mufan took it without knowing anything.
The two of them quickly left the room.
After a few breaths.
"Gash-"
"Gross!"
"Vomit ......"
In the workshop, the sound of three people retching was heard.
Chu Feibai was the first to rush out, his eyes were red, and he asked painfully, "Stinky, stinky?!"
Jiang Mufan rushed out the second, sticking out his tongue, and his eyes were full of stars: "Not only stinks, but also bitter!" After he took the medicine, he kindly helped His Highness try it.
Jiang Mufan has never regretted it so much in his life.
After some time, a pale hand came out of the door.
Wei Yuanshan crawled out of the room, his face turned blue, and his face was distorted: "This antidote is poisonous......
Jiang Mufan hurriedly helped him up: "Your Highness, Your Highness, slow down."
"The antidote is made according to the prescription given to me by Uncle Chu, there will be no problems, uncle, you have never drunk the antidote of Chang Hate San, how do you know if it is poisonous?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile.
Wei Yuanshan burst into tears: Who has nothing to do to poison themselves and then taste the antidote.
"Maybe this is indeed the antidote, uncle, you can feel it." Chu Yi whispered.
"All I feel is the smell and bitterness." Wei Yuanshan took a deep breath, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and finally came to his senses after a while.
"Your Highness, your face is much better, and your hatred has been scattered, as if you have really been relieved." Jiang Mufan looked at his face slowly recovering his bloody color, and couldn't believe it.
Chu Feibai's pupils shrank in shock: "How is it possible...... That, that medicine stinks."
"It's still so bitter!"
Wei Yuanshan moved his wrists and neck, opened his palm, looked at the pale cyan color of his palm, and was equally surprised: "It's indeed a lot better than before, the poison is really solved."
He walked back into the house, a strange light flashed in his dark golden eyes, and he looked at Xiao Yan deeply.
"Ah Yan, I have something to tell you."
"Subordinates retire." Jiang Mufan understood and left the room with Chu Feibai.
Chu Yi was also leaving, Xiao Yan grabbed her wrist and said seriously, "No matter what uncle wants to say to me, there is no need to hide it from the princess."
Under Chu Yi's signal, Yin Bing also left the room and kept an eye at the door.
Wei Yuanshan took a long breath, smiled helplessly, and said in a low voice, "You and Rudai are really biological mothers and sons, and they all say exactly the same thing."
Xiao Yan's pupils trembled slightly, and he suddenly realized that what Wei Yuanshan was going to say next was probably the "truth" he had been seeking.
"What do you mean, what did Wei Rudai say?" His voice fell low.
Wei Yuanshan pointed to the medicine cup on the table that had been drunk with the lid on it, and said softly, "Actually, although I haven't drunk the antidote to Chang Hatesan, I have seen my subordinates drink it, so I know that this is not an antidote."
From the time he saw the medicine cup, he was sure that Xiao Yan was lying to himself.
But the person in front of him is his nephew, the child left by Wei Rudai, he is willing to believe him, even if the antidote is really problematic, he has no regrets.
It's just that Wei Yuanshan didn't expect that this medicine actually succeeded in detoxifying himself.
It also made him think of a possibility that he couldn't believe.
Xiao Yan pursed his lips and calmly explained, "Uncle is worried too much, that is indeed the antidote, it's just that I want to take revenge on you by adding Coptis chinensis and Awei to it."
「…… Beasts."
The corners of Wei Yuanshan's mouth twitched, picked up the teapot next to him, and drank it for a while.
When the taste in his mouth finally stopped being so bitter, he continued, "It seems that Ru Dai didn't tell you about the 'Imperial Blood'."
"The Emperor...... Blood."
Xiao Yan felt that these two words were extremely familiar, but he was sure that he had never heard of them before, and the reason why he had a familiar feeling also showed that he should have known it in his previous life.
Chu Yi also frowned, and did not interrupt Wei Yuanshan's words.
"In the Jin Kingdom, there is an ancient legend that the blood of the royal family can make people immortal, and even bring people back to life," Wei Yuanshan's voice was a little hoarse, "Many people know this legend, but no one has proved it, and naturally no one believes it."
Immortality and resurrection.
The former reminded Xiao Yan of the painting that Xiao Ji'an did not forget before he died, and the reason why he kept torturing himself, that is, he wanted to rely on his own blood and live forever.
But even if Xiao Ji'an turned himself into a "medicine man" who was invincible to all poisons, he was not able to live forever.
And the last four words, he also felt as if he had heard them somewhere.
"If it's a legend that no one has confirmed, what does it have to do with me?" His voice was hoarse.
"Of course, legends are exaggerated, but one thing is true, and that is ...... People who are directly related to the royal family of the Jin Kingdom have a chance to give birth to a baby girl born with imperial blood, and her blood can cure all kinds of poisons."
Wei Yuanshan closed his eyes, his voice was deeper and deeper, and the hand on his side was clenched into a fist.
"There is no law to this probability, it may not appear for more than ten years or decades, and the child born to the last princess with imperial blood may not also have imperial blood, not so much that this is an antidote
Blood, rather, is a curse."
When Xiao Yan heard this, his whole body trembled slightly, and it was not until Chu Yi held his hand that he could come back to his senses and resist the darkness in his heart.
For the first time, Chu Yi felt that his hands were colder than his own.
The blood of the princess of the royal family of the Jin Kingdom can cure all kinds of poisons.
And Wei Rudai is the princess of the Jin Kingdom.
Xiao Yan always thought that his physique was caused by being tortured by Xiao Ji'an the day after tomorrow, and it was caused by taking too many poisons and antidotes......
However, it turned out that his monster-like blood came from his mother.
Chu Yi looked at Xiao Yan, his face turned pale, his amber phoenix eyes also lost their color, and a trace of blood faintly appeared on his pale lips.
She paid attention to the second half of what Wei Yuanshan said - imperial blood can only be produced among the princesses of the royal family of the Jin Kingdom, and it is random and lawless, even if it is a child born by the last princess with imperial blood, there may not be imperial blood.
If what Wei Yuanshan said was true, then she would understand why Xiao Ji'an wanted to torture Xiao Yan and not hesitate to poison him.
He thought, make gods.
There was no need for Wei Yuanshan to lie to them.
"That's why the princess has to marry the high priest, right?" Chu Yi asked, his eyes sour.
"Only the emperor and the crown prince, as well as the high priest, know about this matter, and only by marrying the high priest can you guarantee that no one else will know about this secret."
"Not only that, but the siblings of the princess who bears the blood of the emperor can also become the crown prince, and the emperor of the previous generation will tell the prince this secret."
Wei Yuanshan knew this after Rudai broke away from the royal family.
The first emperor severely reprimanded him for his self-determination, and then told him about the emperor's blood.
But because Ru Dai has left, although he knows the secret that only the prince can know, but he also lost the opportunity to be the prince, the first emperor was unwilling to give power to his own prince, and the position of the prince was vacant until the first emperor died, Wei Yuanshan guessed, he did not tell the third child about it.
Perhaps, this secret will be interrupted in this generation, and no one will know it at all.

I can't think of it, hehe~
