Chapter 6: Life for Life
Here, Huo Jiuge had just bandaged her wound, and the next second she was sent by the emperor to invite her over.
Is he going to repent? The marriage contract that was easily canceled, and she didn't have time to be happy, if it was really them who repented, then everything she did was in vain.
With the doubts in his heart, Huo Jiuge went to see the emperor.
Looking at the emperor with such a solemn face in front of him, Huo Jiuge sighed in his heart, and looked at Xiao Chengji's expression on the side, although the arrogance in his bones has not changed, but it is not much better.
She had just made a salute, and before she could stabilize herself, she heard the emperor ask her, "How much do you know about the poison in the queen?" ”
Huo Jiuge was stunned, it turned out that he didn't come to her to regret canceling the marriage contract.
In this way, she is relieved, as long as it is not this matter, everything else is easy to say.
"Back to the emperor, the courtiers only heard their father mention it once in a while, this poison is unique to the Western Regions, but mortals who mistakenly eat this herb and are poisoned, they must take the fruit of this plant, if the time is delayed for a long time, even if the poison is finally detoxified, people will inevitably fall into a stupid root of disease."
Hearing what she said, Xiao Chengji was completely panicked, he didn't expect the queen's condition to be so serious, and he was confused for a while.
But even if he is in a hurry, it is useless, the capital is far away from the Western Regions, even if he sets off now on the way to the Western Regions, it will take a month to reach the Western Regions.
With the queen's body, it won't last so long!
Imperial Physician Qi also stood up at this time to prove that with the queen's body, she could only hold on for ten days at most, and these ten days were won by Huo Jiuge for her.
At this time, Xiao Chengji changed his attitude, he said that as long as Huo Jiuge was willing to save his mother's life, he could satisfy her whatever she wanted.
This sudden overture, if it were another woman, it is estimated that he would have already responded to him, but unfortunately, Huo Jiuge didn't eat him at all.
If it weren't for the task given to her by the system, so that she had to treat the queen, she wouldn't have been in this troubled water.
Huo Jiuge's expression was solemn, and she didn't answer, and after a long time, just when Xiao Chengji thought that it was soft and was about to come hard, she said: "The prince can really do anything?" ”
"The big husband has a word, and the horse is hard to chase! As long as you can save my mother, even if you want the stars in the sky, this king will take them off for you. ”
Xiao Chengji's swear is as good as the evil man who forced her to confess her guilt before.
However, when his words fell into Huo Jiuge's ears, they could only be jokes.
"What do I want the stars in the sky for?" Huo Jiuge shook his head, looking like he didn't care.
But Xiao Chengji misunderstood what she meant, he thought that the person in front of him was still Huo Jiuge, who could die for himself before, thinking that his concessions could be exchanged for all of her.
It's just that his wishful thinking was wrong, just when he was about to promise to marry her and be good to her for the rest of his life, Huo Jiuge's face suddenly changed.
She looked at Xiao Chengji with an extremely serious expression, like the first time that a tiger cub in the mountains showed her minions in front of people, which made people scared for a while.
"The only way to save the queen now is to exchange your life for your life!" When she said this, she looked at Xiao Chengji with straight eyes, as if she regarded him as a prey, ready to pounce at any time.
Her proposal was really bold, and in order to let everyone understand better, Huo Jiuge explained again.
"Legend has it that in the Western Regions, when a man was studying abroad, there was an old and frail old mother at home, in order not to delay her son's future, the mother kept concealing her illness until her son's death."
"When the son came home after taking the test, he learned that his mother had been dead for many years, and he was so grief-stricken that he finally chose to kill himself in front of his mother's grave.
"This is the origin of the wolf poison weed, in addition to taking the fruit, the only way to cure this poison is to exchange blood, and the person who exchanges blood must be the closest relatives of the poisoned person."
After Huo Jiuge finished speaking, everyone present fell into silence for a while.
Xiao Chengji, who had been clamoring before, also became quiet, and after a long time, the emperor opened his mouth first, and he asked Huo Jiuge: "Is there only these two methods?" ”
In recent days, he has been busy dealing with government affairs, and there has been a plague in the capital, and as the king of a country, all the burdens are on him alone.
At this time, he lost his former loftiness, and his face was tired, just like the father and husband of ordinary people.
Although Huo Jiuge understood his thoughts, as a doctor, she had to think about the patient, she was not an immortal, and sometimes, she had to let those who were family members make a choice.
She nodded, indicating that she had no other way to save the queen again.
There was silence in the hall, and Xiao Chengji asked, "How sure are you that you can save your mother by exchanging blood?" ”
"Ji'er, don't mess around!" The emperor scolded him loudly, trying to discourage him from his next plans.
But Xiao Chengji can't manage so much, and if he delays any longer, his mother will be in more danger.
He ignored the emperor's stop, and then said: "If this king finds out that you lied to me, this king will want the life of the entire Huo family!" Xiao Chengji said cruelly.
"The prince is really filial to the queen, but the exchange of blood requires people with superb medical skills to carry out, so the courtiers cannot guarantee the safety of you and the queen."
Dare to love her without being sure to propose this method, Xiao Chengji was violently attacked by her angry green muscles, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Huo Jiuge provoked herself several times, if it weren't for the emperor still here, with his temperament, she would have gone to see the king of Hades a long time ago.
At this time, Concubine Xiao Shu suddenly thought of a person, he was the only one who had something to do with the entire palace and the Western Regions, and when she mentioned that person's name, Huo Jiuge clearly saw that the emperor's original frowning brows became tighter.
The emperor currently has a total of seven children, namely five princes and three princesses, three of whom have grown up, and the remaining princes and princesses are still young.
Xiao Shufei's mouth of Yu Wang Xiao Chengyin is the only prince who has not yet married, he has a title, he was the concubine of Queen Chunyi, but according to legend, the emperor did not like this wife very much, and the history books only left a few hasty strokes for the early death of the queen.
I only know that she is a princess of harmony, and later her mother country was destroyed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and she also died by self-immolation in Fengluan Palace a year later.
As the only son of the two, King Yu was sent to the Western Regions as a proton since he was a child, and from the age of five to twelve, he grew up alone in a foreign land for seven years.
Even if he finally returned to China, he was sent to Shigu Academy by the emperor in the name of experience...... In short, the emperor is very distant from his wife and the children born to them.
Concubine Xiao Shu seems to care about the queen, but she has actually dragged King Yu into the struggle of the harem.
As the widow of the former queen, and having been a proton in that bitter cold place for so many years, he really has every reason to poison the queen.
When the emperor heard this, a hint of suspicion appeared on his face, but he was embarrassed to attack in front of everyone.
After a long time, he commanded: "Take care of the queen!" Then he got up and left.
It seems that he is looking for the legendary King Yu.
