After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 953 An unexpected surprise
Jin Jiashu was poisoned in order to protect the new emperor. He was taken care of by his de facto mother and nominal aunt, so naturally he was quickly diagnosed and treated by the imperial physician.

When the new emperor and his men encountered the assassin, he was not present. In fact, he was in a nearby tent, receiving treatment from the imperial physician. Since the funeral procession to the imperial mausoleum included the elderly Empress Dowager and the frail Seventh Prince, and even the newly promoted Empress Dowager Xu was said to have been undercover for a long time, they brought enough imperial physicians and imperial doctors just in case. As soon as Jin Jiashu fell, the imperial physician arrived and treated him in time, saving his life at that time.

However, the poison used by the assassins was quite powerful, and no one knew where they got it from. The imperial doctors and the imperial physicians tried every possible method, and after the emperor returned to the palace, he also ordered the imperial hospital to do its utmost to save people, and no matter what precious medicines were used, the poison in Jin Jiashu's body always remained and was difficult to eradicate.

Therefore, his current condition is relatively stable and his life is not in danger, but he has been in a weak state. The imperial doctors and imperial physicians are helpless with the remaining poison in him. They can only use medicine to maintain his body, and then try to look through the classics to find records of that poison to see if they can find a way to detoxify it.

Haijiao frowned and said to Haitang, "I have been in the palace these days and have seen him almost every day. I have seen him slowly recover from being pale and seriously ill to being able to get out of bed and walk around the room every day. This is a great improvement. According to the imperial physician, if he continues to be cared for like this, he can recover to the level of an ordinary person, but his body will be weaker, he cannot be tired, he will be more prone to illness, it will be a little difficult to have children, and his life span may also be affected. He is still thinking about taking the imperial examination. He said that the new emperor has issued an edict to set the provincial examination for next year and the metropolitan examination for the year after. This is the best opportunity for him and he must not miss it, so he studies hard every day. Queen Mother Xu was very worried and tried to persuade him again and again, but he only responded verbally and continued to work hard in secret."

From Haijiao's perspective, Jin Jiashu was poisoned once, and he managed to save his life. He only needs to rest slowly to recover. Even if he is a little weak, as long as it does not affect his life, it will be fine. As for his life span - there are many weak scholars in the world who die young, and Jin Jiashu's life span is actually nothing. Besides, he has Empress Dowager Xu and the new emperor as his backers, so he will have no shortage of ways to supplement his body in the future, and he will always have a chance to detoxify. Why is Jin Jiashu so anxious and must rush to participate in next year's Enke County Examination? If he ruins his body, what's the point even if he can pass the county examination?
Hai Jiao privately advised Jin Jiashu, but Jin Jiashu said to him: "If I don't have enough fame, how can I be worthy of Shanghai's sister? Not to mention that I can achieve something in the future instead of standing in the world as a relative's son."

Haijiao was speechless when he heard him say that, and had to conceal it for him in front of others. In particular, he couldn't let Queen Mother Xu know that Jin Jiashu was fighting so hard for Haitang, lest Queen Mother Xu vent her anger on Xiaomei.

Now in front of the younger sister, Haijiao hesitated, but still told her the truth, sighing: "To be honest, after I heard the imperial physician say that his health has weakened and his life span may not be long, I thought about whether to give up this marriage. I can't bear to let my younger sister marry a sickly man, who may not have children and become a widow at an early age. But seeing how much Xiao Jin treats you with affection, I can't bear to say it out loud..."

Haitang was a little dazed when she heard this, but she quickly came to her senses and said calmly, "Since Brother Jin said so, it shows that he is determined to me, so I have no reason to betray him. Brother has never asked Brother Jin to cancel the engagement, so there is no need to ask him to do so again in the future. Just assume that you have never had this idea."

After a pause, she added, "Brother doesn't need to say much to Grandpa and Grandma. At most, he can just mention that Brother Jin was injured and sick in order to save the new emperor, so he can't leave the palace for the time being. Just let the two elders rest assured."

Haijiao looked at his sister and sighed: "You have to think it over. Won't you regret it? This is related to your whole life! He is not the same as before. Although he has made great contributions, his health is damaged. He may not be able to take the imperial examination in the future. His life span is shorter than that of ordinary people, and he may have difficulty in having children..." Haitang interrupted her brother and said: "The Tianxin Begonia I planted has borne fruit. There are not many fruits, only enough for me to make three pills, but the effect should be good. When you return to the palace for duty, if you can see Brother Jin, tell him so that he can After you can move normally, come to our house as soon as possible so I can give him a try. It's not that I don't want to give the medicine to my brother and send it directly to the palace, but the way to take this medicine is a bit complicated. It needs to be prepared on the spot, which is inconvenient for him to do anything in the palace. If the people around him find the medicine and report it to Queen Mother Xu, and Queen Mother Xu asks where the medicine came from, it will be very troublesome for us to explain. Instead of going through the trouble of explaining the origin of the medicine, it is better to let Brother Jin take the medicine directly. As long as the medicine works, we can say whatever we want."

Haijiao was surprised. He had heard about Tianxin Haitang, but he didn't expect that his younger sister had already prepared the medicine less than a month after he left home?

He was very surprised, but also a little worried. He swallowed and asked, "Can this medicine really work? Xiao Jin was poisoned, and the imperial doctors and the imperial physicians in the palace couldn't remove the remaining poison. You didn't study medicine, so can this pill you made yourself... really be more powerful than the one made by the Imperial Hospital?"

Haitang thought, this medicine was originally a prescription from the system, and the effect was also said by the system, how could it be false? However, she couldn't tell the system about it, so she had to find another excuse: "The ancient book that I read that records the effects of Tianxin Haitang clearly states that it can cure all kinds of poisons. No matter how tricky the poison is, it can't beat it. No matter how powerful that group of assassins is, they are just the elites of the imperial army. They have rarely been to the capital. What strange and bizarre poisons can they find? Let Brother Jin try it and we will know whether it is good or not. This medicine does not use the method of fighting poison with poison. Even if it doesn't work, it will not cause harm to his body. Anyway, the Imperial Hospital has no other way, so let's try it as a last resort."

If the medicine doesn't work, she won't despair. It's only been a few years since she drew the Tianxin Begonia. Maybe one day the system will draw other rare herb seeds that can detoxify, and she will find a way to cultivate and research them. Besides, the Imperial Hospital is not just there to eat and do nothing, they will always find a way to detoxify. As long as Jin Jiashu's physical condition is stable, there will always be hope of recovery.

As for the rest, she doesn't really care.

When Haijiao heard her say this, he could only sigh and whispered, "No matter what, it's better to have medicine than not. I hope your medicine can really cure him. When I see him in the palace, I will tell him the good news immediately..."

Haijiao's mood improved a lot. After talking about Jin Jiashu's illness, he also had the leisure to talk about other gossip: "Xiao Jin's poisoning this time is not entirely without benefits. Empress Dowager Xu was not very enthusiastic about your marriage with him before. Obviously, the late emperor had already issued an edict to grant the marriage, but she used the excuse that other edicts to grant marriages were not appropriate, and even your edict was intercepted. I suspect that she still wants Xiao Jin to marry a noble lady from a high-ranking family, and looks down on our small family, but she is unwilling to say it clearly. Now Xiao Jin has been poisoned, and the remaining poison has not been eliminated. There are also rumors that it will harm his lifespan and make it difficult to have children. Even if Xiao Jin's status is different from before, and there is no worry about his future, his marriage will be much more troublesome. Empress Dowager Xu probably changed her mind and became closer to me. Not only did she let me visit Xiao Jin often, but she seemed to treat me as a relative in her words and deeds..."

The poisoning of Jin Jiashu finally made Empress Dowager Xu accept Haitang as her "nephew's wife". This was also an unexpected surprise.
