C37 Detoxification

Pushing the door open, he saw that the interior was airtight. Obviously, the doors and windows were covered by heavy curtains, preventing even the outside sunlight from shining into the interior of the room. He had to turn the screen to see a swinging curtain hanging in the inner room.

Xiao Yimo frowned: "Still not holding a light?"

As a result, in the dark, someone ignited a few more lanterns in succession, then someone behind the curtains screamed, "Extinguished, extinguished!"

Gu Qingli was baffled. She thought that she was just poisoned, not measles.

Xiao Yimo did not care about him at all, striding forward with large strides, and casually pulled the bead curtain as he walked in.

Gu Qingli followed closely behind, and was almost hit in the face by the pearl curtain that was flung in his direction.

On the rosewood bed carved with Luan Fengxiang, there was a large red smokescreen, and the dressing table in the room was still pasted with the word 'Joy'. It was clear that the wedding had not yet passed, but a strange depressing atmosphere permeated the room, not a single trace of happiness could be seen.

Even the maidservant s who were standing with their arms down didn't dare to breathe as fear and trepidation filled their faces.

Just as Xiao Yimo rolled up the curtain made out of pure gold, he saw someone sitting on the bed. With dishevelled hair and red silk clothes, he shouted miserably like a ghost, "Get out! Get the hell out of here! "

Following that, he waved his hands in a flurry.

"What's the matter with you?" Xiao Yimo bellowed, holding onto the lady's shoulder, trying to stabilize her body.

The woman struggled with all her might. Her long hair covered her face, making it impossible to see her face. She could only vaguely make out a thin figure under the empty silk gown.

A feeling of wanting to laugh floated up in Gu Qingli's heart. The dignified prime minister was a thousand gold, and not long ago, he was still acting arrogantly in front of her, but now he had become like this. She said lightly, "Is this the princess consort?"

The lady had been struggling with all her might, but Xiao Yimo had used quite a bit of effort just to smack her in the face in anger.

She suddenly stopped moving and stared straight at Xiao Yimo through the gaps between her hair, then looked at Gu Qingli.

Seeing Gu Qingli's crimson red clothes, she seemed to have received a huge shock, and muttered: "You actually let another newcomer enter the sect. It's been less than a month ? You've only been married to me for less than a month, yet you've already taken in a lateral concubine and even want to take in a new person ? "

"Are you sick? This is Ghost Doctor Li Yue, someone this king has invited to treat your illness.

Gu Qingruo sat there like a fool.

Gu Qingli did not expect Gu Qingruo, who was wearing red clothes and had abnormal emotions, to mistake his attire for a bride. Frowning, he walked over to the side of the bed and sat down.

Gu Qingruo hesitated as he extended his wrist, allowing her to feel his pulse.

Gu Qingli asked while checking his pulse. Gu Qingruo was in a trance and would sometimes get an answer from Xiao Yimo.

At first, she felt nauseous and uncomfortable half a month ago. Then, she felt a slight tingling on her face and couldn't help but scratch it. Then, she started to itch more and more, until her face started to swell up, and along with the scratches on her fingernails, some parts of her face started to crack and fester.

The unveiling teacher was mostly helpless against her ghost-like face. There were even some prescriptions that were right, but they couldn't get to the root of the illness. She ate medicine every day, and the more she ate, the more painful she became.

It was the fear of seeing her face that made the house look like this haunted house.

Gu Qingli flipped her black hair up and was startled. There was still some medicinal dregs left on her face that had been opened by a doctor, it was the result of her internal and external application.

"Wash her face."

"No, no, no ?" Her face was in so much pain now that it stung every time she touched it, and it itched without touching it.

The maidservant s got some water and brought up masks. However, none of them dared to step forward, trembling in fear. Lately, whoever saw her face would have to be beaten up, let alone washed it.

Gu Qingli said indifferently: "Don't be afraid, Your Highness is holding her down, I will help her wash." She took out a small bottle from her bosom and poured some yellow powder into the basin, instantly dissolving it.

She twisted her mask, thinking to herself that for the sake of the scales, I will wash your face first, and then we will settle our debts after autumn. She sneered in her heart as she slowly wiped Gu Qingruo's face with a handkerchief.

Xiao Yimo was afraid that Gu Qingruo would struggle to resist, so he sat behind her and twisted her hands, locking her in place.

Gu Qingruo was still struggling and crying weakly in the beginning, but as she washed the mask again and again, she actually calmed down, as if the pain had lessened a lot.

In reality, Gu Qingli had only smeared some peppermint powder along with some pain-relieving medicine on his face. It was very cool and composed, and could also slightly reduce the itch on his face, making Gu Qingruo feel a lot better.

However, in the eyes of others, she had a pair of magical hands. She had washed her face just once, and she was able to make Gu Qingruo quiet down obediently under her control.

His face was dark red and swollen, covered in dried scabs and bloody scars. There were also a variety of purplish black pimples scattered all over his body. He looked like an ugly toad skin.

Gu Qingli resisted the urge to laugh and continued to ask: "Do you sometimes drink wine with the princess?"

"There's a doctor who said that alcohol can stimulate blood circulation and dissipate blood stasis ?"

Who the hell said that? secretly cursed and wanted to laugh at the same time. Wine was good for qi to dissolve blood stasis, but Gu Qingruo's body was poisonous, drinking wine would speed up the flow of blood, making the poison flow faster. No wonder he turned into a toad's face in less than a month.

When he looked at Xiao Yimo's face again, it was already so smelly that it could not be seen anymore. He even looked to the side, not wanting to land his gaze on Gu Qingruo's face at all.

It was no wonder that even a single person would not be able to stand seeing this face, let alone a heartless trash like Xiao Yimo. It was already out of respect for Gu Chaoran that he was able to request a doctor for Gu Qingruo.

After washing his face, Gu Li Qing leisurely wiped his hands. "Alright, take a pen and paper, and open up the recipe."

Xiao Yimo abandoned Gu Qingruo and walked to her side to watch her write.

Gu Qingruo's calligraphy was not good. In his previous life, he had spent most of his time training in poison techniques and killing people. He did not have the time to study these things.

As she wrote, she said, "Your Highness, if I can cure Princess Hua-Yang, I'll need some compensation."

Xiao Yimo did not mind at all as he said, "A thousand taels of gold. It is written on the bounty list that This King will definitely pay."

"I want more."

Xiao Yimo's thick and slender eyebrows slowly knitted together: "How much do you want?

Gu Qingli paused for a moment, then pointed at Gu Qingruo's neck: "I want that thing inside her neck."

Gu Qingruo wore red silk undergarments that didn't buckle at all, and her smooth and slender neck, along with the ornamental gold chain around her neck, was currently swaying. Especially the half moon shaped translucent Mythical Fish Scale, it emitted a pearl-like luster, reflecting a seven-colored luster on the edge of her chest.

Xiao Yimo's eyes changed slightly, his expression seemed to be stiff, and after looking at Gu Qingruo, he did not reply.

However, Gu Qingruo's expression changed and instinctively covered his chest: "I can't give it to her!" This was one of the new appointments he made before the wedding. He had personally helped her put it on.

Although she did not know what it was, it was a tribute that the Emperor had bestowed to Xiao Yimo for his grand wedding.
