Chapter 2740: Chapter 2740: The Host (2)
Chai Shu had been controlled by those herbal medicines for a long time, and her body had developed a long-term dependency. Suddenly, without medication, her body couldn’t take it. If it wasn’t for the good luck of running into Yang Ruxin, even if she escaped, she wouldn’t have lived more than three days.
"You say she has Poisonous Insects inside her?" Gu Qingheng’s face turned somewhat grim.
"Yes." Yang Ruxin nodded, "Those herbal medicines are just for cultivating those Poisonous Insects. Rather than calling her a herbalist, it’s better to say she is the host for those insects. Now without the herbal medicine, those Poisonous Insects will gnaw on human flesh. Conservatively estimated, there are dozens of Little Bugs residing in her body, and they could gnaw away all the human flesh in just three days."
Everyone gasped involuntarily.
Chai Qin’s eyes turned red.
Chai Shu, however, smiled at Chai Qin, happy to die in front of the young master.
"But don’t worry, you’re my husband’s maid, which makes you my people too, so I won’t let you die." Yang Ruxin gently patted Chai Shu’s little face, "Be strong, when the time comes, stand up healthy and strong to send off Chai Qin as a bride, watching your good sister become a bride."
Chai Shu nodded slightly and mouthed silently, "Thank you."
Everyone understood.
"Brave girl." Yang Ruxin stuffed a Medicine Pill into her mouth, "This Medicine Pill can suppress the Poisonous Insects inside you, but it can’t completely relieve the pain in your body. You still have to endure it, wait until we get to Beijing and return home, I’ll treat you then."
"Trust your young mistress." Gu Qingheng nodded slightly.
Chai Shu’s lips curved into a faint smile.
"I hope you won’t make me regret saving you." Yang Ruxin smiled and then stepped aside, allowing Gu Qiao to carry her onto the carriage.
Qi Jingyun was quite thoughtful and laid thick padding on the carriage and also placed an ice basin.
"Just bear with it a bit." Chai Qin accompanied Chai Shu inside the carriage, holding her hand tightly, "Madam is the Divine Doctor, she says you can live, and you certainly won’t die."
Back then, among the four maids Shu Manzhi gave to Gu Qingheng, Chai Qin and Chai Shu were children from the same trafficker. They were last selected together by Shu Manzhi, so their relationship is a bit more intimate.
Chai Shu’s face had turned almost transparent white by now, but her blood vessels appeared more vivid. The crisscrossing purple blood vessels made her look quite horrifying, yet her lips were curved, showing she was in good spirits. She nodded slightly, squeezing the other’s hand forcefully. She wanted to know why the young mistress would say such things.
Chai Qin quickly understood Chai Shu’s doubt and recounted the story of Chai Huan.
Chai Shu showed a surprised look but soon let out a slight sigh.
"You don’t agree with her actions either, do you? Before, she had higher ambitions than us, but..." Chai Qin lowered her voice slightly, "You’re also smart, don’t think about things you shouldn’t in the future, okay?"
Chai Shu nodded, giving her a reassuring look, because a long time ago she no longer had such thoughts. She would follow Madam’s wishes, and now seeing the young master so happy, she wouldn’t have any random thoughts.
Chai Qin laughed.
Chai Shu was curious about the young master’s experiences over the years.
Chai Qin then candidly recounted her return to the young master’s side.
