Chapter 152: Saint Lady Dies, Kangxi Poisoned
An flashed and rushed to the air outlet, but the other party had disappeared without a trace. In order to ensure the emperor's safety, he blocked the two air outlets in time and then hurried down to wait by the emperor's side.
Kangxi quickly stepped forward to the Saintess and said, "What did you say? Do you know where your father is? Tell me quickly, where is he?"
Kangxi was a little anxious at this time. If he had found out earlier that the Saint knew about the leader of the White Lotus Sect, he would definitely have asked An Yi to protect the Saint more closely, instead of her being seriously injured and dying like now.
The Saint tried to lift her body, but the arrow had hit her so deeply that she had no strength to stand up. An Yi saw this and helped her up and leaned her against the wall.
Kangxi continued to ask: "Tell me everything you know, and I will call the imperial physician now." After saying that, he gestured to An.
An Yi nodded, walked to the tunnel entrance, blew a whistle, and ordered his subordinates to find the imperial physician. At this moment, the Saint smiled at Kangxi and said, "Come closer. I'm having trouble speaking now."
Kangxi hesitated, but the Saint's voice was weak, and she was covered in blood, her face gradually turning pale. Time seemed to be running out. His desire to know the leader's identity and position took over, and since he was also a martial artist, Kangxi didn't hesitate any longer and quickly approached the Saint.
He put his ear close to the saint's mouth and heard her say, "My father's name is Zhu Weiming. This is his real name. His current pseudonym changes every time. You have to find out the specific name yourself. But he is in the capital now. You can go and ask him in person. He lives in..."
At this critical moment, the Saint vomited blood again. This time, Kangxi did not mind her spilling blood on him. He quickly asked, "Where is it? Tell me clearly, where is it?"
The Saint's voice became even quieter. Seeing that she was about to die, Kangxi moved his body closer to her, not noticing the strange smile on the Saint's lips: "My father, he is in the west..."
The saint quickly reached out and pulled out the arrow from her chest and stabbed it directly at Kangxi opposite her. Even though Kangxi reacted quickly, his chest was still pierced. Fortunately, the saint was already at the end of her strength, and the arrow did not penetrate deep enough to injure Kangxi's internal organs.
At this time, An Yi heard the noise and hurried back to the dungeon. Seeing this, he quickly pulled Kangxi away and kicked the saint away. The saint rolled several meters away, vomited blood, and lay there motionless.
An Yi was extremely panicked at this time. He didn't expect that the emperor would be injured right under his nose. This was his dereliction of duty as a secret guard.
Kangxi didn't care about that at this time. His eyes followed the saint's position and were fixed on her. After a few breaths, the saint spat out blood and laughed at Kangxi, her laughter was full of joy and sadness: "Hahaha, you dog Tartar, you have come to this day. There is no good end for going back on your words. Don't even think about getting any news about my father from me in this life. I will never tell you.
You must be curious why I haven't forgotten to kill you even at this point. This Saint will kindly explain your confusion. The arrow that struck me was one I had specially prepared, and I personally poured the poison on it. I painstakingly collected the venom of the Central Plains cobra, and now it's yours for free.
Weren't you arrogant before and unwilling to let me go? Now you want to go with me to see the King of Hell."
After saying this, the Saint stopped talking, only breathing heavily, lying on the ground quietly waiting for death to come. Her tears kept flowing down her cheeks and mouth. She had never expected her father to be so cruel. She had just been captured, and he had let his subordinates take her name directly. Looking at the large pool of blood in front of her, she cried and smiled. It was really ironic that he died from the poison arrow she had carefully prepared. It seemed that this was her retribution.
I really hope that in my next life I won’t be born next to my father, without the great cause of restoring the country, without the mission of sacrifice, but just be an ordinary girl, feel the complete family, and live a busy and ordinary life.
Quietly, she seemed to see her favorite little garden, which Nelun had prepared for her. It was filled with chrysanthemums of various colors, and colorful butterflies fluttered above them. It was so beautiful. The saint smiled quietly, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye...
An Yi walked forward and placed his finger under the Saint's nose. After a moment, he turned to Kangxi and said, "Your Majesty, she is dead."
Kangxi covered his chest wound and sat in a chair with a fierce look in his eyes, wondering what he was thinking. Soon, there was a noise outside the door. It was the imperial physician. An Yi sent Kangxi to the back hall of the Qianqing Palace, waiting for the imperial physician to treat him.
The moment the imperial physician began to perform the operation, he was shocked. This was the deadly poison of a cobra. The emperor was in the palace today, how could he be poisoned by such a venom?
However, he had already brought his medicine box with him when the secret guards brought him here. Seeing this, he quickly took out the bottle of antidote pills from the box. After pouring out one pill, he thought for a moment and poured out two more pills to present to the emperor.
The Imperial Physician said, "Your Majesty, this is an antidote pill. Please take it temporarily. The antidote for the cobra venom will take some time to be prepared. For now, the only solution is to take the antidote pill to suppress the toxicity."
Kangxi understood what the imperial physician said, opened his mouth and swallowed three detoxification pills, then watched the imperial physician treat his wounds.
The wound is not deep. Just pull out the arrow, apply medicine powder, and bandage the wound with gauze. It will not affect your travel and arm swinging. You just need to pay a little attention to the range of movement in the first two days and don't open the wound. There will be basically no big problem.
As for the snake venom, the imperial physician still needed to go back to the Imperial Hospital to gather the herbs and prepare the mixture. Kangxi stared into the imperial physician's eyes and asked, "Is the poison I was poisoned with not having any side effects? Will I be fine after taking the antidote?"
In response to the Emperor's inquiry, the Imperial Physician assured him directly, "Of course there's no problem. Although this poison takes effect quickly and is very strong, the Imperial Hospital developed an antidote years ago. I'll prepare it and send it to you shortly. If you take it promptly, there will be no problem. Those three antidote pills I just gave you will suppress the effects for at least two hours. By then, I'll have the antidote ready."
After hearing the imperial physician's guarantee, Kangxi finally felt relieved. The scene of the saint vomiting blood in front of him was too impressive, and she died in less than a cup of tea, which made Kangxi a little scared.
After confirming again and again that he had recovered, the Qianqing Palace quickly issued an order to arrest people. In the next few days, everyone in the capital was in danger. Many members of the White Lotus Sect were arrested, and the entire family of officials involved were slaughtered. Blood flowed like a river at the Meridian Gate, and the entire capital was filled with the smell of blood.
