Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chapter 256: Using Aphrodisiac

At first, everyone took Murong Linzhi's riding skills into consideration, so they deliberately didn't ride too fast, thinking that this would be considerate of her. However, to their surprise, Murong Linzhi's riding skills were no less impressive than any of the men present. Seeing this, everyone sped up.

Along the way, they followed the various signal markers left by Shi Jian and eventually arrived at a small town near the scene of the incident and found an inn there. Although it took some time, the entire journey actually took less than an hour.

At this moment, Si Jian was quietly waiting at the door of the inn. When he saw Li Chu and others approaching from afar, he couldn't help but feel excited, and his eyes suddenly became moist. He quickly raised his sleeve and wiped the tears rolling down his cheeks, then hurried down the stairs to greet them.

Si Jian walked quickly to the front, bowed respectfully to Li Chu and the others, and said, "Your Highness, you are finally here! Even Miss Murong has come with you. Please come with me to see our princess! She..."

Hearing Si Jian's words, Li Chu's heart skipped a beat, as if he had suddenly fallen into an ice cellar. A chill spread from the depths of his heart. He wondered to himself: Could it be that I'm too late? Could Jingyao have met with an accident? No, it couldn't be, absolutely impossible!

Thinking of this, Li Chu could no longer suppress his inner anxiety and worry, and hurriedly urged: "Hurry up and lead the way, let's go over and take a look."

Beads of sweat rolled down Si Jian's forehead, and she was obviously very nervous. However, she still looked solemn and took the risk of being guilty of disrespect, and resolutely stepped forward to stop Li Chu who was about to move forward.

Her originally charming face was now filled with determination as she spoke loudly, "Your Highness, please forgive my rudeness! But it would be best if you and Xunfeng do not go in at this time. Let Miss Murong treat my princess first!"

For a moment, the whole scene was deadlocked and the atmosphere became extremely tense. Everyone turned their eyes to Li Chu, waiting for his decision.

At this moment, Murong Linzhi stepped forward with graceful steps. Her gentle voice, like a spring breeze, gently brushed everyone's ears. "Your Highness, in my opinion, why not let me go in and take a look first? If the princess is alright, then it won't be too late for me to invite you and the others in to visit her."

Li Chu frowned slightly. Although he was eager to know Dugu Jingyao's condition, he also understood the importance of the matter. After all, he knew nothing about medicine. Now that the doctor was here, he should naturally prioritize healing and saving the patient.

Thinking of this, Li Chu nodded, then bowed slightly to Murong Linzhi, clasped his hands together and said solemnly: "In that case, I will trouble you, Miss Murong."

Seeing this, Murong Linzhi showed a humble smile on her face and said softly, "Your Highness, you are too kind. This is my duty." After that, she no longer refused and frankly accepted Li Chu's gift, then turned around and followed Si Jian into the house.

As soon as she stepped into the house, she suddenly understood why the girl in front of her would rather suffer punishment than let the prince come here. It turned out that at this moment, Dugu Jingyao was completely immersed in water.

About half an hour after Xunfeng and Commander Zhang left, Dugu Jingyao, who had been unconscious, gradually regained consciousness, though not yet fully awake. Her face was as red as a ripe apple, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead and neck. She kept muttering, "It's so hot," and her hands were uncontrollably tearing at her clothes.

Shi Jian and Si Jian saw this and knew the situation was not good. They immediately stopped all the men who wanted to enter the room. Si Jian was as anxious as an ant on the hot pot, running around in circles; and Shi Jian, who was usually calm and steady, was also panicked and at a loss.

However, in comparison, the young Liu Jingyue seemed quite calm. Although she looked like a naive child, in modern times, she was exposed to many palace dramas full of intrigue and intricate novels about family affairs.

After a moment's thought, she had the answer in her mind - this look clearly shows that she has been drugged! Thinking of this, Liu Jingyue couldn't help but curse in her heart: "Damn it, I never thought that this ancient killer would use such despicable means!"

She thought to herself anxiously, "I absolutely cannot let Dugu Jingyao lose her virginity! Her CP relationship hasn't even been officially established yet!"

After a quick calculation, according to their itinerary, they must have arrived in Chang'an City by now. As long as she could find a way to hold on until they returned, Dugu Jingyao would be able to keep her innocence. After all, once the miracle doctor arrived, he would either find a way to detoxify the poison, or Li Chu would arrive in time. Let him take advantage of this! After all, Dugu Jingyao would marry him in the future, so it couldn't be considered a true loss of chastity. It was a pity that in modern society, Dugu Jingyao was still a minor, and those who poisoned her were simply insane!

Having made up her mind, she quickly turned to Shi Jian and said, "Shi Jian, could you please go and ask the store for some cold water?"

Shi Jian was startled for a moment, then nodded in sudden realization. That's right, the princess is suffering from the torment of this poison, her entire body is burning hot. If she could soak in cold water, perhaps she would feel better.

Thinking of this, Shi Jian hurriedly responded: "Okay, miss, don't worry, I'll do it right away!" After that, she turned around and left in a hurry.

Liu Jingyue then turned her gaze to Zhishu, Shili and Sijian, and gave them instructions in an orderly manner: "Zhishu, Shili, you two go ask the store for a bathtub. Sijian, come with me and help your sister into the bathtub later." Everyone accepted the order in unison and acted separately.

Although Si Jian didn't understand why, he was ready to do it anyway. Zhishu and Shili soon directed someone to bring in the bathtub. Because Dugu Jingyao was pulling at her clothes, Liu Jingyue and Si Jian pulled up the bed curtains to block the bed.

After everyone left, the cold water arrived. Shi Jian and Si Jian first poured two buckets of water into the bucket, and then they went back to the bed, took off Dugu Jingyao's coat, and helped her into the bucket.

The moment she entered, Dugu Jingyao immediately regained consciousness. She finally felt a hint of coolness. Her face was still flushed, and she said to everyone present, "It's so hot! I feel like my internal organs are about to melt!"

Liu Jingyue still felt a little sorry for Dugu Jingyao. She said, "Sister, just hold on a little longer. Xunfeng has already returned to Chang'an to find His Royal Highness Prince Guangping and Divine Doctor Gongsun. You'll be fine soon!"

Dugu Jingyao also gritted her teeth and persisted, although she also knew that she might have been drugged or something like that. She just said, "Okay," and stopped talking.

It’s a pity that the effect of cold water is ultimately limited. Dugu Jingyao’s body is shaking, but she is still very hot inside. She is truly burning with desire.

Before Li Chu and the others arrived, Dugu Jingyao was almost unable to hold on, so she began to leave a last will and testament. She asked Liu Jingyue to accompany her father well, and asked Liu Jingyue to tell Li Chu to find a suitable princess, and so on and so forth.

After this, the originally calm Liu Jingyue became uneasy. She couldn't find a man for her sister... At this moment, Si Jian brought Murong Linzhi in, and the scene just now happened.

Liu Jingyue saw Murong Linzhi's eyes light up, and she quickly stepped forward to pull Murong Linzhi, who was stunned by the scene, and said, "Sister Linzhi, come and take her pulse and see what's going on."

Murong Linzhi was brought back to his senses by Liu Jingyue. He said "Oh" softly and stepped forward to check Dugu Jingyao's pulse.

After a while, Liu Jingyue's guess was indeed confirmed. Murong Linzhi said, "The princess has... she has been poisoned by love!"

Shi Jian asked doubtfully, "Doctor Murong, what is love poison?"

Murong Linzhi added: "To put it simply, it's an aphrodisiac."

Si Jian gritted his teeth and said, "What? Are these killers crazy? They actually use aphrodisiacs to kill people?" After thinking for a moment, he said thankfully, "It's a good thing it's not poison. There should be an antidote, right?"
