The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 638: Still Not Ready to Die

While squeezing out the poisoned blood, Jiang Youzhi instructed the guards accompanying the carriage outside, "Ride fast back to the mansion, see if Miss Gu is still there. If she is, tell her the Duke has been poisoned."

"If she’s not there, quickly go to the workshop and bring her back to the mansion!"

The guard spurred his horse into a gallop.

Yun Jiao’s carriage had just left the Duke Mansion when a rider rushed towards her, the guard on horseback shouted, "Miss Gu, please wait!"

The driver hurriedly stopped the carriage, and Yun Jiao lifted the curtain, "What’s the matter?"

The guard dismounted quickly and ran over, whispering, "The Duke has been poisoned."

Yun Jiao’s expression changed, and she hurriedly said, "Quick, quickly turn around and go back."

The carriage turned around and returned through the gate.

As soon as the carriage passed through the second gate, Yun Jiao got out and ran inside swiftly.

Her pharmacy contained several antidote pills that she had concocted herself.

Both of her daggers were smeared with strong poison, fearing that she might accidentally injure herself someday, she prepared antidotes to be safe.

Returning to her room, she closed the door, first took out the antidotes, then grabbed her medical kit, and hurriedly made her way to the main courtyard.

Fortunately, her courtyard was not far from the main courtyard, just past Jiang Youzhi’s courtyard was the main one.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw the carriage already parked there, and the guard at the door said, "The Duke just entered the house."

Yun Jiao stepped inside quickly, seeing Jiang Zhongxing sitting on a couch, seemingly unharmed, with a normal complexion and still conscious.

Without saying anything, Yun Jiao first took out silver needles to seal several acupoints, then untied the bandage, incised a cross cut on the wound, and continued to squeeze out blood.

Jiang Youzhi casually took a teacup to catch the blood.

By this time, the blood had turned bright red, Yun Jiao carefully smelled the scent of the blood, "Do you know what poison it is?"

Jiang Youzhi frowned and shook his head, "Didn’t have time to ask."

Yun Jiao’s hands continued to work, as she asked the Duke, "How do you feel?"

"Do you feel nauseous? Dizzy?"

Jiang Zhongxing slowly waved his hand.

Yun Jiao called Jiang Youzhi, "San Lang, come and keep squeezing out the blood, I’ll check the Duke’s pulse."

Jiang Youzhi continued squeezing.

Yun Jiao placed her fingers on the Duke’s pulse, her brow gradually furrowed.

The Duke’s pulse was clearly slower than that of a normal person.

At this moment, a guard came in from outside, "Reporting to the Duke, the swords of the two assassins have been brought over."

Yun Jiao quickly said, "Give it to me."

She took the sword and carefully sniffed the tip, her expression changed, "Víper’s Poison!"

Lady Wu seemed struck by lightning, her voice changed, "Are you sure it’s Víper’s Poison?"

Yun Jiao nodded.

Lady Wu was instantly stunned, having lived in the southern jungles before her teens, she naturally had heard of this deadly poison from the region.

The poison is derived from the sap of the poison arrow tree, once afflicted, one won’t survive more than an hour.

She knew the only antidote to this poison was Red-backed Bamboo Grass, but it grows around poison arrow trees, and also in the southern jungles, which are thousands of miles away from here.

Moreover, the herb is only useful for curing Víper’s Poison and serves no other purpose, so pharmacies wouldn’t stock such a medicinal plant.

After all, one might not encounter a case of Víper’s Poison even once in decades.

Furthermore, the herb is hard to preserve, prone to vermin and mold.

Hard to preserve and unsellable, which pharmacy would stock up on this herb?

Upon hearing about Víper’s Poison, Jiang Zhongxing’s expression changed too.

He had heard about the toxicity, having just reunited with his wife and son, he didn’t wish to die.
