Capítulo 712: Chapter 712: Side Story: Vermilion Bird x Xue Lingling (5)
The woman beside Jin Tianjing was actually Tan Xiyan!
The forr Princess Anyang of Eastern Wei was dressed as an attendant, seriously grinding dicine with her slender jade hands.
Hearing soone approaching, Tan Xiyan looked up. She had t the Vermilion Bird before, the Hidden Guard Commander of Mu Yan, and so she went forward to greet him, “Is Commander Zhu here to see Divine Doctor Jin?”
Vermilion Bird nodded, “I need to see a doctor, please inform him.”
Princess Anyang had completely shed the deanor of a princess. She had finally found sothing aningful, as ntioned by Mr. Lan, which was to heal and save lives.
She asked Mu Xiyao to help her apprentice under Jin Tianjing, starting as a small attendant, wanting to make her life aningful.
Mr. Lan’s spirit in the sky must be watching over her, and even if not, she was doing the thing that gave her the most peace of mind.
Before long, Jin Tianjing ca out from inside the house.
Upon seeing Xue Lingling, his eyes darkened. This girl must be the patient!
“Sit down, let check your pulse.” Jin Tianjing had taken a lot of silver and herbs from Mu Yan and Zhan Lan.
Since their Hidden Guard Commander brought soone to see him, a thorough examination was naturally needed.
“Xue Lingling, this is Divine Doctor Jin, sit down and let him check your pulse.” Vermilion Bird spoke to Xue Lingling as if she were a child. Even a fool could see he liked this woman.
“Okay.” Xue Lingling obediently sat down.
Tan Xiyan brought the diagnosis handkerchief and placed it on Xue Lingling’s wrist, silently thinking: This girl and Commander Zhu seem quite a match.
Xue Lingling quietly waited for Jin Tianjing to take her pulse, having been through this process with many doctors before, she had already morized it.
Jin Tianjing glanced at the absent-minded Tan Xiyan and coldly said, “Go get the silver needles.”
“Yes.” Tan Xiyan snapped back to reality and quickly went to get the silver needles.
The silver needle penetrated Xue Lingling’s finger, and a drop of blood erged. Jin Tianjing looked up and said, “This young lady is not poisoned. People of the Poisonous Insect Clan have Lifebound Poisonous Insects naturally, she wasn’t poisoned nor is she sick.”
Vermilion Bird listened intently, occasionally glancing at Xue Lingling, signaling her not to be afraid.
“When did this start?” Jin Tianjing asked.
Vermilion Bird replied, “About four years ago.”
Jin Tianjing put away the diagnosis handkerchief and handed it to Tan Xiyan, firmly saying, “Based on my dical experience, I can completely rule out the possibility of this young lady being ill.”
Vermilion Bird and Xue Lingling were both stunned. Other doctors had said Xue Lingling might have injured her head or was overly anxious.
Only Jin Tianjing said her body wasn’t ill.
Jin Tianjing reminded, “The Poisonous Insect Clan has many poisonous insects. Is it possible that so special insect is causing her to forget a lot of things intermittently?”
Vermilion Bird’s pupils suddenly contracted, he imdiately looked at Xue Lingling, “Besides your Lifebound Poisonous Insect, I rember you raised another one and said that if it burrowed into your body, you would lose your mory after seven days.”
Xue Lingling was innately knowledgeable about poisonous insects, instinctively saying, “Forgetfulness after seven days, that would be a Brain-eating Poisonous Insect.”
Vermilion Bird asked, “Then where is that insect?”
Xue Lingling was a bit confused. She knew about the Brain-eating Poisonous Insect, but if she raised it, where is it?
Zha Yina reminded, “Princess, the Brain-eating Poisonous Insect always hung in your bell. Your mother praised you, saying you were an exceedingly smart Gu Master.”
“Your mother passed away early, so you always hung the insect on yourself to look at it whenever you thought of her.”
Upon hearing this, Xue Lingling suddenly realized. She looked down, the bell was no longer there.
“Could it be lost?” Xue Lingling felt a bit panicked.
She rembered how to refine poison and feed the poisonous insects.
But she seed to have forgotten the existence of that insect.
The two maidservants suddenly rembered sothing, Zha Yina looked at Zha Yirui, “Where did you put the princess’s bell?”
Zha Yirui replied respectfully, “Princess, the bell fell by the river. After you picked it up and shook it a few tis, you put it in a box.”
Xue Lingling said in a daze, “Could it be that the Brain-eating Poisonous Insect went into my body?”
She thought again, “No, the insect I raised wouldn’t harm .”
Zha Yina and Zha Yirui both nodded together, “Yes, the insect won’t harm its master.”
Vermilion Bird suddenly thought of sothing, “What if the insect once sucked my blood?”
Xue Lingling’s eyes trembled, she sighed, “No wonder.”
Jin Tianjing and Tan Xiyan were very curious about the insect thing, both looked at Xue Lingling with curious expressions.
Xue Lingling said awkwardly, “I haven’t lost my mory, but the insect drinking Vermilion Bird’s blood caused it to mutate. When it’s active in the morning, it interferes with my mory; when it sleeps at night, I can rember everything.”
Xue Lingling said dejectedly, “I muddle through every day without finding the real cause, tornted and exhausted for four years. When I clear up in the evening, I get restless, barely rembering previous things.”
Vermilion Bird urgently asked, “Xue Lingling, is there a way to lure the insect out of your body?”
Xue Lingling looked uneasy, “Yes, but it’s inconvenient to say, many thanks to Divine Doctor Jin.”
Xue Lingling sincerely appreciated Jin Tianjing’s reminder.
Jin Tianjing smiled slightly, “It’s good that the reason has been found.”
Vermilion Bird offered Jin Tianjing a consultation fee, Jin Tianjing pushed back the silver note with a smile, “I didn’t do anything, no need for formalities, Commander Zhu.”
“Thank you.” Vermilion Bird insisted on leaving the consultation fee on the table.
Tan Xiyan watched Vermilion Bird and Xue Lingling’s departing figures with a brilliant smile, having done another aningful thing today.
Suddenly, she felt a tightening around her neck, she turned back to see Jin Tianjing letting go of her collar, lifting her chin, saying coldly, “Go grind the dicine!”
Tan Xiyan smiled, “Okay, Master.”
After Jin Tianjing left, Tan Xiyan murmured, “Grinding dicine every day, I’m not Chang’e’s Jade Rabbit!”
“What did you say?” Jin Tianjing glanced back at her.
Tan Xiyan smiled sheepishly, “I just love grinding dicine, off I go!”
Jin Tianjing watched Tan Xiyan run off to grind dicine, his lips involuntarily curled; this naive and silly princess was quite diligent.
She didn’t let down his daily teachings.
The attendant following Jin Tianjing sighed: Since Tan Xiyan ca, the Master beca quite a chatterbox!
However, the Master seems to only like chattering to Tan Xiyan, could it be because he’s that excellent!
That’s why the Master never scolds him!
…
Snow Lingling sat in the carriage, Vermilion Bird asked her, “Now it’s just the two of us, can you tell how to lure the insect out of your body?”
Snow Lingling’s eyes flickered, her cheeks gradually reddened. The thod to draw out the insect was not particularly hard, but she found it hard to articulate.
