Chapter 751 [Under the Brocade 47]
After several days of continuous and meticulous medicinal bath treatment, the toxins in Youyou's body were finally completely eliminated. Her originally pale face gradually regained its former rosy luster, and her whole body was radiant with vitality.
However, at the same time, the scene in the palace was completely different. The emperor had been in a bad mental state recently, often feeling dizzy and weak. One day, after taking the so-called panacea sent by Danqing Pavilion, he fainted without any warning. This sudden change plunged the entire palace into panic and chaos.
When the news reached Lu Ting's ears, he did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately summoned his Jinyiwei to rush into the palace to protect the emperor. For a time, the palace was heavily guarded and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Many court officials rushed to the palace upon hearing the news, waiting anxiously outside the emperor's bedroom, all of them looking at each other in worry. Just when everyone was anxious, they suddenly heard the emperor's decree to summon the officials. Upon hearing the decree, the officials hurriedly filed in and walked quickly into the palace. When they saw the emperor sitting on the dragon throne safely, everyone's worries were slightly relieved.
After the ministers finished their ceremony, they could not wait to discuss the matter of the elixir. Some questioned whether the elixir was as magical as it was said to be; others suspected that there was a conspiracy. Facing the ministers' discussions, the emperor's face was gloomy, and he immediately ordered Lord Xu, who recommended the elixir, to be confined to his house until the truth was further investigated.
Then, the emperor turned his gaze to Lu Ting and asked, "Lord Lu, what do you think about this matter of the elixir?"
Lu Ting bowed slightly and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I think this matter is quite strange and requires a thorough investigation to get to the bottom of it."
The emperor nodded in agreement and gave the important task of investigating the matter to Lu Ting.
Meanwhile, the head of the underworld, Mao, was also paying special attention to Youyou's situation. He sent his trusted men to secretly follow Youyou, and was shocked when he learned that Youyou had recovered from the poison. Especially when he heard that Youyou was poisoned by the extremely rare and difficult-to-solve blue hosta poison, Mao felt that the matter was more serious.
Therefore, he turned his attention to Lin Ling, the key person to save Youyou, and tried to find the secret recipe of detoxification from her. Little did he know that the one who could really detoxify the blue lily was not Lin Ling, but the seemingly weak Youyou herself.
That day, the boss Mao suddenly came with his men and ordered to kill everyone except Lin Ling. The boss Mao led the Japanese pirates to attack, and several people fought bravely. Uncle Gai blamed himself for getting Lin Ling involved, so he wanted to take her away first, but Lin Ling went back to get the medical scripture in the room at all costs.
In the fierce fight, Shangguan Xi ran desperately, but the vicious Japanese pirates were chasing her. In a panic, she accidentally fell off the cliff. This scene happened to be seen by Yang Yue who was not far away. He didn't even have time to think, and jumped without hesitation and jumped off the cliff.
At the same time, the other companions were surrounded. At this critical moment, a group of snakes suddenly rushed out like a tide, instantly scaring Mao Dadang and others back away. Faced with this sudden situation, everyone was panicked.
However, Lin Ling shouted calmly: "Don't be afraid! These snakes won't hurt us." Hearing Lin Ling's words, everyone calmed down a little.
At this time, people found that Yang Yue and Shangguan Xi were missing. In a panic, several people began to look for clues. After a hard search, they finally followed the traces of the fight all the way to the edge of the cliff. Looking at the bottomless cliff, everyone's heart sank, thinking secretly that Shangguan Xi and Yang Yue might have fallen to the bottom of the cliff.
Lu Yi made a prompt decision and said that he would return to Yangzhou first and send people to search and rescue. At the same time, he and Youyou begged Uncle Gai and Lin Ling to return to Yangzhou as well. After all, this place was already full of dangers and no longer safe. Seeing this, Lin Ling, although worried, had to nod and agree.
At the bottom of the bottomless cliff, Yang Yue suddenly woke up from his coma as if he had been electrocuted. He opened his eyes with great effort and looked around in confusion. He was shocked to find that he had been so lucky to be firmly hung by the thick branches of a towering tree. He turned his neck with difficulty and looked down, only to see Shangguan Xi lying quietly under the tree like a sleeping fairy.
Yang Yue's heart tightened, and he ignored the pain and tingling all over his body. He gritted his teeth, used his hands and feet, and climbed down the tree trunk very carefully. Every step seemed so difficult, but his eyes never left Shangguan Xi. After finally reaching the ground, Yang Yue rushed to Shangguan Xi's side in two steps, squatted down, and carefully checked her condition.
What comforted him a little was that, thanks to his sacrifice at the critical moment, Shangguan Xi did not suffer too serious injuries. However, at this time, Shangguan Xi still closed her eyes and slept quietly, as if she was in a deep dream. No matter how Yang Yue called her softly, she had no response, as if she was isolated from the world.
Yang Yue's heart instantly rose to his throat, and fear surged into his heart like a tide. He was afraid that Shangguan Xi would never wake up from this sleep. In a panic, he trembled and reached out his hand, gently touching Shangguan Xi's nose. When he felt the weak but steady breath, Yang Yue's heart finally settled down a little. But even so, he still didn't dare to relax at all.
Although his legs and arms were covered with bruises, and he even felt a faint burning pain from the fever, Yang Yue still endured the discomfort and dragged his heavy steps to pick up a pile of dry branches nearby.
Then, with his shaking hands, he tried to gather the branches together and managed to light a bonfire. The jumping flames reflected Yang Yue's face, which was full of worry and fatigue.
As time went by, the warm firelight gradually dispelled the coldness around. Perhaps it was because of this warmth that Shangguan Xi's originally pale cheeks slowly regained some color.
Finally, after Shangguan Xi had been roasted by the fire for a long time, her long eyelashes began to tremble slightly, and then her eyes slowly opened, revealing a pair of misty and beautiful eyes.
Yang Yue had been guarding Shangguan Xi, staring at her intently. When he saw her wake up, his eyes were red with excitement, and his voice became a little hoarse because of excitement: "Miss Shangguan, you...you finally woke up!"
After saying that, he wanted to stand up and get closer to Shangguan Xi.
However, due to the prolonged tension and fatigue, coupled with his unhealed injuries and continued high fever, Yang Yue felt dizzy and his vision went black. Before he could finish his words, he fell forward and completely lost consciousness.
