Chapter 120 Witchcraft is an act that damages one's virtue.
"Sister!"
Shen Yuchen rushed over in a flustered manner, his steps hurried, and he almost tripped when he entered the palace.
Fu'an, who had been jogging to follow, was so frightened that he went forward to help, but Shen Yuchen pushed him away.
"Why not treat the eldest princess?"
His voice trembled slightly with anger and anxiety.
Physician Li and Physician Qin exchanged glances and replied weakly, "Her Highness... won't allow any consultations."
"Sister! Sister!"
Shen Sangwan half-closed her eyes, tilted her head slightly, and looked at the place where Shuyan was lying.
After being called urgently by Shen Yuchen several times, she finally came to her senses and weakly uttered, "When did Your Majesty arrive?"
"Sister, you're injured. Let the imperial physician take a look first, okay?"
His tone was full of pleading, and all traces of the former imperial majesty had vanished.
Shen Sangwan's eyes were indifferent, and her expression became numb.
Xiaotong mechanically repeated the same sentence in her mind, making her gaze dull, as if her soul had been taken away.
Seeing Shen Sangwan's distraught appearance made Shen Yuchen even more frightened.
"Your Highness, this old minister has a method... but this old minister cannot guarantee whether it can wake up the princess, and if it succeeds, she will no longer be able to enjoy a normal lifespan."
Physician Qin bowed his head, touching his forehead to the ground, and spoke timidly.
Shen Sangwan finally showed a hint of emotion. "Speak."
"The Northern Witchcraft has a Gu called the Shared Life Gu, which is very rare. It uses a living person as the Gu and implants the Shared Life Gu into the princess's body, which may give her a glimmer of hope."
As soon as Physician Qin opened his mouth, Physician Li wanted to stop him, because Gu worms were obscene things that shortened one's lifespan.
He was intimidated by a single look from Shen Sangwan.
[Master, Gu worms are an unorthodox practice. You mustn't do anything immoral to save Cen Yan.]
The main system knows this and won't let you off easily.
Xiaotong also strongly opposed it.
A brief silence fell over the hall.
"Am I just supposed to stand by and watch her die?"
There are no good medical facilities here, and I don't know any medicine. Plus, I can't use the system items now.
【Master, you can use it indefinitely. Why don't you just eat it yourself and feed it your blood? There's no other way right now, so let's try anything.】
Most importantly, even if the symbiotic Gu could prolong Cen Yan's life, the Northern Witch is thousands of miles away and very difficult to find. Even if you find it, Master, Cen Yan will already be dead by then.
"Sister, you're still bleeding. Shall we let the imperial physician examine you first?"
Shen Yuchen pleaded again in a low voice, not daring to force the imperial physician to diagnose him, while feeling anxious and sorry for the other person.
"I'm fine. You all go out and let me and Ayan be alone for a while."
"Sister!"
"go out."
Shen Yuchen, who had always obeyed Shen Sangwan's every command, hesitated at this moment.
In the end, he was defeated by the other party's gaze, and he dismissed everyone in the hall, while he went to wait in the outer hall.
"Shuyi, you stay."
Shu Yi, who was wiping Shu Yan's body to cool her down, had already put down the handkerchief and was about to leave when Shen Sangwan called out to her.
"Lock the palace gates and stand guard at the entrance, not allowing anyone to enter. If His Highness asks, say that everything is fine."
Shuyi was still somewhat out of the loop, but he nodded subconsciously and did as he was told.
【My lord, I forgot that Physician Li mentioned you have Gu worms in your body. Perhaps we could try someone else?】
I recall reading in some miscellaneous notes that once a Gu worm is implanted in the body, it won't move to another body unless manipulated by the person who planted it. If it were that easy to transfer, wouldn't the Gu poison in my body have been cured long ago? Why would I need to drink bitter medicine every day and take medicinal baths every few days?
【Then, my lord, please act according to your capabilities.】
Shen Sangwan flipped through the pages, carefully examining the props. She selected a Vitality Pill, a potent fever reducer, and a Rejuvenation Pill that she had never used before. She didn't know if there would be any side effects if she took them, but she was willing to risk it to save Cen Yan.
As she clicked confirm, her heart leaped into her throat. She was terrified that she wouldn't be able to retrieve the item, which would essentially extinguish her last hope.
Upon seeing the object on the bed, Shen Sangwan breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind: since the object had been taken out, why not just feed it to Cen Yan?
While she was thinking this, her hands were busy, but just as the medicine touched Shuyan's lips, it vanished into thin air.
〖......〗
Is this system incredibly accurate, like a dog's nose? Or is it equipped with a detector?
Knowing that this method wouldn't work, he obediently got the medicine again and swallowed it himself.
"Xiaotong, is it okay to take these three medicines together?"
[Master, the system's medicines don't counteract each other; you just need to be careful when bleeding.]
He was genuinely worried that his master would act recklessly.
There was a teacup on the table. Shen Sangwan took some spring water, suppressed her nausea, chewed up the Vitality Pill, and swallowed it. The potent antipyretic and the Rejuvenation Pill were both the size of a small round ball, which she swallowed in one gulp.
I searched around but couldn't find a dagger. Luckily, there were hairpins in my dressing case. I picked one at random and slashed my wrist with all my might.
"temple--"
Shuyi was so startled by Shen Sangwan's actions that she almost screamed, but fearing to alert the people outside, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
Although it is not a major artery, blood flows out extremely quickly.
"Hey—I just took it, has the medicine already been absorbed into my bloodstream?"
Xiaotong rubbed her forehead, indicating some helplessness.
[Master, you've already had it done, what's the point of asking this now?]
Wait a minute, will drinking this blood cause any adverse reactions? I've heard that blood is the dirtiest thing.
[Master, what are you trying to do at this crucial moment? The person is about to die, why are you still worrying about these things?]
[Hurry up and make her drink it. She's lost so much blood; even if you don't feel sorry for her, I feel sorry for her.]
In order to allow the medicine to fully integrate into the bloodstream, Shen Sangwan hesitated for a while before placing her wrist near Shuyan's mouth.
Due to the anesthetic, the other person was unconscious and unable to swallow the blood.
The blood that flowed into the other person's mouth almost suffocated them.
After taking the Vitality Pill, Shen Sangwan felt no pain, only a sticky liquid overflowing from her chest. She endured the discomfort and half-held the other person in her arms, gently shaking their head.
Unfortunately, the final effect was minimal.
【Master, why don't you get another anesthetic, remove the pill, and use a syringe to inject your blood directly into Cen Yan's vein?】
Shen Sangwan thought this method was good. Fortunately, there was a screen blocking the view, so Shuyi couldn't see what was happening inside. She took a syringe of anesthetic and injected the entire syringe onto her clothes.
Then, I caught the flowing blood in a cup. I didn't have time to think about disinfection or other issues. I just wanted to quickly draw blood to save the person. The first time I drew blood, inserted a needle, and transfused blood, it went surprisingly smoothly.
