Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 213 - Qin Mo in Trouble

Chapter 213 Qin Mo in Trouble

“Bad news, General, Qin Mo, Qin Mo is not going to make it!”

A commotion could be heard from outside the tent.

Thereafter, a soldier hurried into the tent.

“What happened to Qin Mo?” asked Lin Nansheng.

He furrowed his brows as he looked at the soldier.

“The physician said that Qin Mo’s body is attacked by a poison. He’s going to die from it if we can’t find another solution.”

At this juncture, everyone in the tent looked anxious.

Lin Mengya gazed at her brother, puzzled.

“I’m going to check if the imperial physician has arrived,” said Lin Nansheng.

He exited the tent, ignoring the fact that he himself was also injured.

Lin Mengya, who had no idea what was going on, followed after her brother.

It was then that she realized that the lights of the camp were all concentrated in one area.

The military physicians going in and out of the tents were all wearing a sober expression on their faces.

The moment they saw Lin Nansheng, their expressions changed to that of being apologetic.

“Ya’er, wait here. It’s not a good idea for you to be in there.”

Lin Nansheng looked adoring at his little sister. It was such a rare reunion, yet she had to witness him being in an anxious state.

“Don’t worry, Elder Brother. I think I may be of some help to the situation.”

In fact, from the moment Lin Mengya neared this area, the radar in her head had already caught some faint signal.

Once she arrived outside this tent, the names of a series of poison came popping up in her mind.

Although there were quite a number of components in the antidote required to neutralize the poison, it was not difficult to put them together in the right proportions.

It appeared that the assassin had indeed caused some serious injuries, just that the person who had been injured severely was not her elder brother.

Seeing that Lin Mengya was so adamant, Lin Nansheng eventually nodded at her.

The moment the two of them entered the tent, a bellow of rage sounded.

“Do you call yourself an imperial physician? My son is at the prime. He’ll be ruined if he loses one arm!”

The voice, though filled with rage, was also tinged with sadness.

Lin Mengya was amazed to find that the middle-aged man breathing threats was none other than the great scholar, Lord Qin Xu.

“Please calm down, Lord Qin. I will do my best to treat Master Qin. However, we’ve to be prepared for the worst if we can’t get hold of the antidote.”

The gray-haired imperial physician looked to be in sticky situation.

If not because of young General Lin’s special request, the imperial physician would not have responded to this house call in the middle of the night.

However, no one would have expected this great scholar who usually appeared refined and cultured, would have such a fiery temper.

The imperial physician had simply mentioned the possibility of his son losing an arm, and he was almost strangled by Lord Qin.

“Lord Qin, do you think your son would be saved just because you throw a tantrum? All my teacher wanted was to save your son’s life. If his life cant’ be preserved, what is the use of saving his arm?”

A bright and crispy voice sounded and Lin Mengya turned to look at one corner of the tent.

She spotted a young man in the clothes of an imperial physician’s assistant looking at the great scholar Qin and the poor imperial physician who was held in Lord Qin’s arms.

The young man looked to be in his twenties.

He had bright eyes and well-defined eyes brows, and was very handsome and scholarly looking.

Lin Mengya had the impression that the people in the courtyard of the imperial physicians were all in their forties or fifties. For this reason, she was surprised to find a young physician here.

“Qiu Yu, do not be rude.”

The old imperial physician pretended to rebuke his student, when in fact, he totally agreed with what Qiu Yu said.

Having the merciful heart of a physician, it was no doubt saving the life of Master Qin was his priority.

Being told off by a young man, Qin Xu’s anger did subside a little.

What this young man said was right. As long as they were able to save his son’s life, the other factors did not matter anymore.

However...

He could not hold back his tears at the sight of his son’s face turning greenish-purple with the poison in his body.

For generations, the Qins had only one son. For this reason, when it came to his son, Qin Mo’s generation, the family had nurtured and molded him into an outstanding talent. He was highly regarded by General Lin.

It had barely been three years since he joined the army, but he had already achieved much success, therefore had become the right-hand man to the Lins.

Little did any expect that he would end up in this state.

If the usually proud Qin Mo found out about his condition, would he be unable to accept the outcome and choose to die rather than continue living with just one arm?

“No way!”

To everyone’s surprise, Lin Nansheng frowned and tried to stop the imperial physician.

“Qin Mo was injured while trying to protect me. If his arm had to be amputated, I will give him my arm! If he were to die, I’m willing to die with him. Please save Qin Mo!”

Qin Mo was Lin Nansheng’s right-hand man. In this incident, he was injured by the assassin’s secret weapon.

If Qin Mo did not manage to take the block the attack, Lin Nansheng would be the one lying here now!

It was more agonizing for Lin Nansheng to watch his buddy lose everything than taking his own life.

“You can’t do that, General!”

All the soldiers in the tent grimaced. Lin Nansheng was the most valiant general guarding the borders. If any mishap befell him, Daijin would lose one of its most important commanders and the situation of the nation would be affected.

Even the imperial physician’s expression changed drastically at Lin Nansheng’s words.

After all, Lin Nansheng’s life was worthed much more than Qin Mo’s life.

“Elder Brother, that is not necessary. Let me give it a try. I think I may be able to neutralize this poison.”

A gentle yet crisp voice sounded from behind Lin Nansheng’s back.

Immediately, the eyes all the people in the tent turned to focus on this little lady in the big cloak standing behind Lin Nansheng.

A faint yet graceful smile appeared on Lin Mengya’s delicate face.

Nevertheless, there was a reassuring confidence in those eyes.

“Ya’er, you...”

Lin Nansheng remembered that Mother was indeed learned in medical knowledge and his younger sister had started learning how to tell the different herbs apart since the age of one.

However, in the subsequent years, his younger sister became dull-witted. There was no way she had inherited Mother’s legacy.

“Elder Brother, I know what I’m doing.”

Under the watchful eye of all the people in the tent, Lin Mengya walked up to the bed where Qin Mo was lying.

“Please let me borrow your silver needle,” Lin Mengya said to the imperial physician.

In Baili Rui’s technique of neurtralizing poison, there were 36 methods using a big needle and 72 methods using the small needle.

By this time, Lin Mengya had already mastered 80% to 90% of the technique.

She studied the poison by looking at the back of Qin Mo’s hand. It appeared that the poison was traveling fast in his bloodstream so much so that it had already reached almost all parts of his body.

If the poison got into his heart, there would be no cure.

As the imperial physician offered up his silver needles, he was wondering what this lass could do to help.

Soon, she received the silver needles and stuck them into Qin Mo and after a few breaths, the major acupuncture points on Qin Mo’s chest were sealed.

The manner in which she administered the needles was rather bizarre. Not only was she fast, she was also extremely accurate so much so that the imperial physician was so nervous that he held his breath while Lin Mengya was at it.

A little trembling of her hand could have cost Qin Mo’s life.

“At this moment, I have sealed all the major acupuncture points on Qin Mo’s chest. He would be alright at least within the next twenty-four hours. I would need someone to keep watch over him and not let the silver needles move. During this time, I’ll prepare the antidote as fast as I could. Please be patient, Lord Qin.”

Lin Mengya gave the above instructions carefully and clearly as she got up, looking like a professional physician.

Even her elder brother was stunned. He was clueless as to when this lass became so awesome.

He could not help but turn to steal a glance at Long Tianhao.

However, Lin Nansheng noticed that Long Tianhao was not at all amazed. Her sister ought to have some kind of fortuitous meeting while she was at Prince Yu’s Mansion.

“But, but what if you’re unable to get the antidote ready after twenty-four hours? I don’t want to sacrifice his life. I, I rather have him lose one arm. It’s good enough if he could survive.”

In an instant, Qin Xu seemed to have aged a great deal.

Although he definitely did not wish for his son to lose an arm, it was still better if he could live.

“Don’t worry, Lord Qin. I’m General Lin’s younger sister. If I fail to rescue your son, I’m willing to join my elder brother in punishment.”

Lin Mengya’s words sounded reassuring and powerful.

Nevertheless, the people standing around her began frowning.

Goodness, now the life of their young general was a stake, if Princess Yu were to chip in...

They felt as if it was the end of the world.

All the people were dubious of Lin Mengya’s ability.

Long Tianhao was the only person full of confidence in Lin Mengya.

Although he was unable to pinpoint the reason.

Every time he saw the confidence in her eyes, he felt an unexplainable reassurance.

Even if no one believed in her, he was ready to back her up.

He strode up to Lin Mengya, turned to Qin Xu and said, “If she fails to cure your son, I, Prince Yu, will bear the consequence.”

.

Long Tianhao’s deep voice was like a bomb that created an explosion in Lin Mengya’s heart.

With large, clear eyes, Lin Mengya looked to Long Tianhao in puzzlement. What she saw was his confidence in her.

Lin Mengya would never expect Long Tianhao, who paid no attention to the things of the world, to stand by her quietly when faced with a crisis.

She instinctively pulled the big cloak tightly around her body and felt a warm, sweet current flowed through her.

It was wonderful to have him by her side.

“My greetings to Your Highness, Prince Yu. We will have to ask for Princess Yu to try her best then!”

Regardless of what the majority of the people think, Long Tianhao’s words were definitely carried much weight.

Qin Xu gave up being adamant sacrificing his son’s arm. After all, Prince Yu’s reputation in the courts had been a trustworthy one.

A great majority of the official in the courts had a high opinion of Prince Yu.

Since he had such confidence in his wife, Lord Qin was willing to give her a try.

“I would like the imperial physician to stay with me in preparing the antidote. I’d request the rest to leave the tent.”

Lin Mengya’s confidence was greatly boosted by Long Tianhao’s support and she felt as if this was a great turning point for this matter.

Lin Mengya immediately got down to preparing the antidote with two other imperial physicians and four military physicians, who acted more like her assistants.

“We may not have every ingredient needed to make up the antidote. Let me write down everything we need, and Big Brother, would you please send someone into the city to get them from the pharmacy?”

What they had here were only the commonly used medicine and herbs in the army camp.

Lin Nansheng nodded. He would do whatever his younger sister requested.

“Let me go instead. Your brother’s horse may not be adapted to running on the snow. It would disastrous if any accident happens,” suggested Long Tianhao.

Lin Mengya considered Long Tianhao’s proposal and eventually agreed.

However, she insisted that Long Tianhao put on his large warm cloak.

Seeing how determined Long Tianhao was, Lin Mengya condensed all the things she wanted to say into two words.

“Be careful!” she called out after him.
