Emperor Shen's charming wife

Chapter 194: Close to Despair

When Ning Yao heard the news, her body shook violently and she almost collapsed to the ground. She bit her lip tightly, forced herself to stand firmly, quickly gathered her mind, stabilized the morale of the army, and immediately discussed the search and rescue plan with the loyal generals. "Don't worry, I will never let him get hurt." She assured Concubine Shen with a firm look, but she didn't have the confidence in her heart. Ning Yao knew that in this intricate, deep and dangerous terrain, it would be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack to find Shen Yu. But she must not give up, and the survival skills she learned from the alien race involuntarily emerged in her mind. She knew what to do in such a critical situation to maximize the chance of survival. So, she calmly guided the soldiers and asked them to search carefully in the direction where there might be water and food. At the same time, she also secretly contacted the alien race and earnestly asked them to lend a hand. Eunuch Li tried his best to collect intelligence in the palace, and finally found out that Shen Yu's disappearance was inextricably linked to some secret forces within the palace. "It seems that someone doesn't want him to come back alive." Ning Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, with a chill in her eyes. She resolutely decided to take a two-pronged approach, searching for Shen Yu with all her strength while thoroughly investigating and cleaning up the internal troubles in the palace. "Your Majesty, what do you mean?" The minister beside her asked cautiously. "I want to let those who have evil intentions know that I am not easy to mess with." Ning Yao's eyes were full of determination and resoluteness, as if burning with rage. During a difficult search, Ning Yao and his party were caught off guard by an enemy ambush. "Protect Your Majesty!" The soldiers shouted in unison, drawing their swords and quickly protecting Ning Yao in the middle. Ning Yao looked at the group of menacing enemies in front of her, without any fear in her heart. "Who are you? Why are you attacking us?" Ning Yao shouted angrily. "Hmph, you don't need to know." The enemy leader sneered and swung his sword at Ning Yao. Ning Yao dodged swiftly and drew her sword to fight back. Her sword skills were as sharp as the wind, which surprised the enemy leader. "I didn't expect that a woman like you would have such skills." "There are many things you didn't expect." Ning Yao did not flinch, and swung her sword again, stabbing the enemy leader directly. The enemy leader was unable to dodge and was pierced through the chest by Ning Yao's sword. He fell to the ground, his eyes full of reluctance and anger. "Kill them!" Ning Yao gave an order, and the soldiers rushed forward like tigers and fought fiercely with the enemy. Behind them, there was a sky-high fire and deafening shouts of killing. After a thrilling and fierce battle, Ning Yao finally led the soldiers to break through the siege. Just as they were about to leave, the reinforcements of the alien race arrived in time. "Your Majesty, we are late." The leader of the alien race said apologetically. "It's okay, you came just in time." Ning Yao said gratefully. "Your Majesty, we have found some clues that may help us find Shen Yu." "Great, take us there quickly." Ning Yao said, and couldn't wait to follow. Under the guidance of the foreign woman, Ning Yao unexpectedly discovered a hidden underground passage. "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this passage is most likely used by them to transport supplies." The foreign woman said softly. "Then where does the end of this passage lead to?" Ning Yao frowned and asked anxiously. "I guess it should be a very secret place. Maybe His Majesty Shen Yu is imprisoned there." Ning Yao nodded slightly, his eyes were firm, and he resolutely decided to lead the team to sneak in quietly. "Your Majesty, this place is full of dangers and it is too dangerous. Let your subordinates go." The generals beside him hurriedly dissuaded him. "No, I must go in person." Ning Yao said firmly, and stepped into the passage first without hesitation. The passage was filled with a strong and pungent smell, and the walls were covered with thick spider webs. Ning Yao was extremely careful with every step she took, and her eyes were vigilantly scanning the surroundings, fearing that she would accidentally trigger the hidden mechanism. They groped forward in this dark passage for a long time, and finally reached the end of the passage. What appeared in front of them was a gloomy and dim dungeon, where many prisoners were imprisoned. Ning Yao searched around anxiously, and finally found Shen Yu, who was unconscious, in a remote corner. "Your Majesty!" Ning Yao cried out in grief, and rushed forward desperately, hugging Shen Yu tightly in her arms. "Your Majesty, wake up." Ning Yao's voice trembled, and she kept shaking Shen Yu's body, but there was no response. "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Ning Yao's tears flowed like a spring, and she couldn't stop her tears from falling. She trembled and reached out to feel Shen Yu's breath. Fortunately, he was still breathing weakly. "Your Majesty, you must hold on. I will rescue you right now." Ning Yao said, gritting her teeth, using all her strength to pick up Shen Yu, and turned to walk quickly out of the passage. After rescuing Shen Yu, she was horrified to find that he was poisoned and dying. His life was on the edge of the cliff, and she had to race against time to find an antidote. In this desperate moment of near collapse, Ning Yao's mind suddenly flashed the ancient medical skills mentioned by the foreign woman. It seemed like a ray of light in the darkness, and perhaps it could be the last hope to save Shen Yu. "Your Majesty, you hold on. I will definitely save you." Ning Yao choked and said, hugging Shen Yu tightly, and ran desperately towards the foreign woman's residence. The moment the foreign woman saw Shen Yu, her brows were furrowed and her expression was solemn. "He is too poisoned, I'm afraid there is no way to save him." "No, I don't believe it, there must be a way." Ning Yao cried and knelt on the ground, begging the foreign woman desperately. "Your Majesty, please get up. I'll try my best." The foreign woman said helplessly, carefully taking out a yellowed ancient book from her bosom and began to read it carefully. After a long time, she finally found an ancient medical skill between the yellowed pages. "Your Majesty, I can try, but I really can't guarantee that it will succeed." "It doesn't matter. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up." Ning Yao said with a firm look and without hesitation. "Okay, let's start." The foreign woman said, took out a black pill from her bosom and gently fed it to Shen Yu. "This is a detoxification pill that can temporarily suppress the toxins in his body." "Next, I'm going to give him acupuncture." The foreign woman said, took out a thin silver needle, and accurately pierced Shen Yu's acupuncture points. Ning Yao was so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe, her eyes were fixed, and her heart was uneasy. She didn't know whether this ancient medical skill would work. After a while, Shen Yu's face finally gradually turned a little red. "Your Majesty, his condition has improved, but the toxins in his body have not been completely eliminated." "What should we do?" "I need some precious herbs to completely eliminate the toxins in his body." "I will ask someone to find them right away." Ning Yao said, turning around and leaving in a hurry. Just as they were about to return to find an antidote for Shen Yu, a mysterious secret letter was quietly delivered. "Your Majesty, look." Eunuch Li handed the letter to Ning Yao with a nervous look. Ning Yao opened the letter, and there was only one creepy sentence on it: "The real game has just begun." Ning Yao's face instantly became extremely gloomy. "Your Majesty, what does this mean?" "I don't know, but I feel that things are far more complicated than I imagined." Ning Yao said, carefully putting the letter away. "Your Majesty, what should we do?" "Don't worry about him, let's go back first." Ning Yao said, picked up Shen Yu, and walked out quickly.
