Chapter 48 The Husband Is the Leader of the Wife

After careful consideration in the middle of the night, Shen Ning finally decided to detoxify Ji Yucang.

First, because he had done her a favor, and second, she was the regent princess, temporarily living in the regent's mansion, and would inevitably need to rely on the regent's power in the future.

Third, she simply didn't want the queen mother and the queen's party to succeed.

She slept late last night, but it didn't affect Shen Ning's early rise.

When she came to Linzhi Hall again, Ling Feng didn't stop her and respectfully opened the door for Shen Ning.

Ji Yucang was sitting in Linzhi Hall reviewing memorials. The lights in the hall were bright, illuminating the whole room.

The noble and extraordinary man just sat there casually, exuding boundless coldness and oppression all over his body.

Looking up and seeing Shen Ning coming in, Ji Yucang's deep eyes fell on her eyebrows: "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"How do you tell?"

"There are some dark spots under my eyes."

"I didn't sleep well." Shen Ning walked over and sat down beside the desk, "Put your hand here, I'll take your pulse."

Ji Yucang was silent after hearing this, put down the pen, stretched out his wrist in front of her, and even lifted his robe sleeves up considerately: "Why didn't you sleep well?"

Shen Ning said calmly: "The detoxification is a bit complicated, I'm considering whether to take the risk."

Ji Yucang's eyebrows moved slightly: " Take a risk?"

"I don't know what the poison you were poisoned with is called, because I haven't studied it, but I can identify the ingredients in the antidote, and I can also develop a new antidote." Shen Ning said calmly, "It's not difficult to make an antidote by removing the toxic ingredients in the antidote, but the difficult part is that there is still a lack of a medicine."

Ji Yucang frowned: "Medicine?"

"Do you know why you have found so many doctors, but you can't find someone who can really develop an antidote?" Shen Ning solved the mystery for him, "Because it requires the use of Gu, and it requires the blood of a young girl."

Ji Yucang's expression paused slightly.

"It must be blood mixed with the smell of fragrant Gu. When hearing the word 'Gu', most people are already scared and pale. The doctor makes the antidote, the premise is that there is a girl who is willing to donate blood, and he must be good at feeding Gu, and the technique must be just right to ensure the timing of blood extraction is accurate, and the girl's life is safe."

"It's easier said than done. Many doctors have too many concerns and dare not try it at all."

"The antidote that the emperor gave you has all the right ingredients, but there is an extra opium that shouldn't be there, and a missing medicine, so it can only relieve your pain, but make you more and more poisoned, until there is no way to save you, and no medicine can work."

Ji Yucang lowered his eyes, his face was indifferent, as if he had expected this result.

Ling Feng walked in with the brewed tea, and saw Shen Ning taking Ji Yucang's pulse, without any expression on his face.

After serving the tea in silence, he quietly retreated.

After yesterday's silver needle detoxification, he had more respect for Shen Ning's skills, and he didn't find it strange to see her good at anything.

Shen Ning retracted her hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "What I was struggling with last night was whether to take a risk for you."

Ji Yucang was silent for a moment before he realized what she meant, frowning: "You want to use yourself as a medicine?"

"Yes."

"No need." Ji Yucang refused without thinking, "I won't let you take this risk."

"When I told you about this, it means that I have made a decision, and it is a decision I thought about all night last night." Shen Ning said in a light tone, "You have no room to interfere."

She didn't come to ask for his opinion, but to tell him the result.

Ji Yucang pursed his lips, his dark eyes were heavy: "This king will not agree with you to do this."

Shen Ning raised his eyebrows: "You don't understand what I said? I have made a decision, you have no right to stop it."

"Shen Ning, don't forget your identity." Ji Yucang stood up and looked down at her, "You are my wife, the husband is the leader of the wife, you'd better listen to what this king says."

Shen Ning sneered: "What if I don't listen?"

Ji Yucang looked at her coldly, his eyes seemed to be wrapped in a layer of frost, and his eyes were filled with coldness.

It's a pity that the regent's cold and ruthless aura can scare others, but not Shen Ning.

She has never been scared.

"I just felt your pulse. You are fine today. If you want to practice martial arts, practice martial arts. If you want to review memorials, review memorials. But it is best to rest." Shen Ning stood up and turned away calmly. "By the way."

Walking to the door, she turned her head and looked at him: "I don't like others to force me to do anything, or strictly order me not to do anything. This will only backfire and make me rebellious."

After saying this, she opened the door and walked out.

However, before she stepped out of the yard, the housekeeper came hurriedly: "Princess."

Shen Ning paused: "What's wrong?"

"Mrs. Qin went to the palace early in the morning to complain to the Queen Mother, saying that the Regent used private punishment on Mr. Qin. The Queen Mother made a scene in front of the Emperor and said that she would give an explanation to the Qin family. The Emperor then issued an order to invite the prince and princess to the palace."

Shen Ning frowned. She didn't expect Mrs. Qin to be so stupid.

Qin Yanshu committed such a heinous crime that was condemned by both humans and gods. Beating him with a stick was just a slight punishment. How dare she report it to the Queen Mother?

Was she afraid that Qin Yanshu's evil deeds would be exposed too late?

"Prepare the carriage." Ji Yucang walked out of the palace and ordered indifferently, "The king and the princess will go to the palace together."

"Yes." The housekeeper took the order and left.

Shen Ning turned to look at him nonchalantly, with a slightly raised eyebrow: "You want to go to the palace now?"

Ji Yucang looked at her expressionlessly. Although he was tall and thin, with a stern look, in Shen Ning's eyes, he looked a little bit cold and hard.

She raised her lips and went back to her room to change clothes.

After a cup of tea, Ji Yucang and Shen Ning got on the carriage and went to the palace.
