Chapter 479: A Family of Three
Chapter 479: A Family of Three
After a moment, Elder You withdrew his hand and said to Gongsun Yanming, "Pavilion Master, the young master's injuries are severe, but fortunately, there is no threat to his life."
"No poisoning?" Gongsun Yanming asked.
Elder You replied, "The toxins have been cleared."
Gong Sun Yu hurriedly said, "Good, good, Wuyou is fine. Big brother, quickly let Elder You detoxify you!"
Only then did Gongsun Yanming extend his wrist to Elder You.
Qian Jige Pavilion is a major sect in the jianghu, divided into different factions. Some specialize in mechanisms, some in poisons, and others in medicine. Elder You is skilled in both medicine and poison, and his medical skills are on par with Yan Madam.
However, he doesn't know the Thirteen Ghost Gates Needles.
But when it comes to detoxification, he surpasses Yan Madam.
Elder You's fingertips rested on Gongsun Yanming's wrist, and his expression grew more solemn, "Pavilion Master, when did you get poisoned? Why has it already penetrated your internal organs?"
"It's penetrated my internal organs?" Gong Sun Yu was both shocked and furious. With his brother's cultivation, even if he had been poisoned for a day or two, he could have easily suppressed it for ten or even half a month.
He took a deep breath and, for the first time, spoke to his elder brother with a tone of frustration, "Not only did you get poisoned, but you also went to force the poison out for someone else. As a result, you forced all the poison into your own body!"
Elder You quickly explained, "When poisoned like this, you must not use your inner energy!"
Therefore, strictly speaking, Gongsun Yanming's poison had accumulated three times over. It would be strange if it hadn't invaded his internal organs.
Thinking of this, Gong Sun Yu couldn't help but curse Meng Qianqian in his heart again.
Gongsun Yanming asked, "Elder You, what kind of poison did I get? Why have I never seen it before?"
Elder You stroked his beard and pondered, "I won't hide it from you, Pavilion Master. Based on your symptoms and pulse, I can only initially deduce that the poison you were exposed to is not just one type, but includes cold poison, toxic bird poison, and Gu poison..."
Gong Sun Yu's face turned deathly pale. "So many?"
Elder You said, "Perhaps even more, but my humble medical skills are limited, and I can only identify these poisons for now."
Gong Sun Yu asked curiously, "Where did that girl get so many strange and unusual poisons?"
Elder You replied, "Gu poison comes from Miaojiang, cold poison from Xiyu, and toxic bird poison is found in Zhongyuan. But to combine all these poisons, allowing them to exert their individual toxicity without canceling each other out, requires a certain method. As far as I know, only the ancient Xinye Imperial Family could use poison techniques to such an exquisite level."
Gong Sun Yu became even more perplexed. "Didn't the Xinye Imperial Family disappear long ago?"
The Xinye Kingdom is located in the middle of a desert, and a sandstorm buried most of its territory.
There are rumors that the Xinye Imperial Family, with their remaining clansmen, relocated to an oasis, while others claim that the Xinye people perished during their migration, and no one survived the desert.
A hint of intrigue flashed in Gongsun Yanming's eyes.
After a moment, he calmly asked, "Elder You, do you have a way to detoxify this poison?"
Elder You replied with embarrassment, "Please forgive my inability."

In the imperial palace, Meng Qianqian played with Bao Zhuzhu all morning, and Bao Zhuzhu was overjoyed.
Recently, due to the matters concerning Lu Qi and Gongsun Liuying, there had been some unrest in the court.
The Liang Emperor had endured another morning of endless arguments, leaving him physically and mentally exhausted.
However, when he saw the little one rushing towards him, all his fatigue vanished.
"Great-Grandfather!" Bao Zhuzhu snuggled into the Liang Emperor's embrace, acting adorably.
The Liang Emperor burst into laughter. "Missed Great-Grandfather?"
Bao Zhuzhu replied without hesitation, "Yes!"
"Haha!" The Liang Emperor rubbed the little one's head.
Hmm, it seems I've rubbed it bald.
The Liang Emperor quickly moved the natal hair beside the little one, covering the spot he had rubbed bald.
"Sire."
Meng Qianqian stepped forward and respectfully bowed.
The Liang Emperor hummed in acknowledgment, indicating for her to rise. "In the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, has anyone given you trouble?"
Meng Qianqian replied softly, "Your Majesty, no."
The Liang Emperor wasn't ruling the southwest for years by luck alone. The little girl had taken Gongsun Liuying's Phoenix Maiden status, and her situation in the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion wouldn't be pleasant.
The little girl didn't take the opportunity to complain to him, which made him look at her with newfound respect.
If it were the Retired Emperor, Meng Qianqian would have already put on a show with tears and snot, exaggerating as much as possible.
But the Liang Emperor was different.
The Liang Emperor didn't like coddling the weak and incapable.
The Liang Emperor had already granted her protection, and that was Zhaozhao's teacher status.
Next, the Liang Emperor wanted to see if she could survive in the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, surrounded by wolves.
The Liang Emperor wanted a strong person.
Otherwise, having the Phoenix Maiden status but lacking her abilities would make her a second Gongsun Liuying.
Bao Zhuzhu spoke in a babyish voice, "Tai Gega, Zhaozhao wants to have a meal with her teacher!"
The Liang Emperor's face turned serious. "Not eating with Tai Gega?"
Bao Zhuzhu's eyes spun, "Yes, I do."
One wrong move, one sound, one inner thought, and one look in 1691!
The Liang Emperor coldly snorted, "I think you're saying it with your mouth, but not your heart!"
Bao Zhuzhu rubbed her forehead against the Liang Emperor's neck, "I do, I do! Zhaozhao loves Tai Gega the most!"
Who could resist that?
The Liang Emperor asked Meng Qianqian to accompany the little one for the meal, while he went to the imperial study to handle official matters.
When the teacher and student were having their meal in the side hall, the Crown Prince happened to visit the palace to see his daughter, and coincidentally, he hadn't eaten yet.
"If Miss Yan doesn't mind."
"Please, Crown Prince."
The Crown Prince sat down across from Meng Qianqian.
"Come here."
The Crown Prince said to his daughter.
The daughter climbed into Meng Qianqian's arms with a disgusted expression, showing no respect for her useless father.
Lu Yuan's mouth twitched, "You little brat."
Meng Qianqian served Lu Yuan a bowl of soup.
After taking a sip, Lu Yuan asked, "I heard you did something big at the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion last night?"
Meng Qianqian replied, "I just collected some interest."
Lu Yuan hooked his lips, "You poisoned Shang Wuyou, aren't you afraid he'll die from it?"
Meng Qianqian looked at him, "Yes, I'm that ruthless."
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, "What a coincidence, this young master likes ruthless women."
Bao Zhuzhu said, "Shameless."
Lu Yuan: "..."
Lu Yuan took another sip of soup, "Next time, for such a dangerous task, don't do it alone."
"Oh."
Meng Qianqian readily agreed.
Lu Yuan said calmly, "The Si She's poison is something the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion probably can't cure, but I guess Gongsun Yanming won't die right away."
Meng Qianqian lifted the soup bowl, "No hurry, let him suffer first. Forcing him to reveal his killer move early is the real purpose."
Lu Yuan smiled, his lips curved, "Not only is Miss Yan ruthless, but she's also very wise. I wonder if she's married?"
Meng Qianqian curved her lips, "I've been married and widowed. Is this answer satisfactory, Crown Prince?"
Bao Zhuzhu stared at them speechlessly, her expression seemed to say: Keep acting, I'll just watch you two.
"Satisfied!"
Lu Yuan smiled, "Later, I'll send Miss Yan back to the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion."
Meng Qianqian replied, "Thank you."
Bao Zhuzhu's face darkened: You two are thinking of leaving Bao Bao again!
