Chapter 64, The Game of Life and Death
Su Kang was dormant on the border line of the southwest hinterland, while Lu Shu was left in the palace with Lu Chuan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Empress Dowager Zhang did not let go of her mouth and said when she would let them out of the city.
Since Pei Kaizhi and Pei Zongde left, Lu Shu has been with Lu Chuan, and the two of them personally gave Su Xin medicine during the day, and slept in the side hall not far from Jinrong Hall at night.
Not only that, but there are also Empress Dowager Zhang's little palace maids by their side who are supervising every moment, even sleeping.
Finally today, Empress Dowager Zhang and Su Xin went to the court, and the two of them no longer had to be supervised.
In the side hall, Lu Chuan was sorting out a large pile of medicinal materials sent by the Tai Hospital, there were not many types of medicinal materials, there were only two in total, licorice and parsnip. But she had to weigh the pile of herbs in advance and wrap them in yellow paper, so that it would be more convenient to use them.
Lu Shu looked left and right to see that no one was there, and then seized the opportunity to speak: "Lu Chuan, what evidence do you have to show that among so many herbs, the poisonous one is cinnabar? Or did you hear in advance that I advocated increasing the amount of cinnabar, so you designed to frame me?"
Lu Chuan paused for a moment, put the small scale aside, turned around, and looked at Lu Shu quietly.
Lu Shu is two years older than Lu Chuan, and he is standing in front of her angrily at the moment, but his momentum is not at all comparable to Lu Chuan, who has a calm face.
Lu Chuan said word by word: "Why should I use an excuse to harm you?
Besides, cinnabar is indeed slightly poisonous, this is a fact, and this is also a matter of human life, how can I deliberately misinterpret the efficacy of medicinal materials because of you?
Or do you think that if you steal a few medical books left by my mother, I'm going to kill you?"
Hearing the latter words, Lu Shu's face turned pale, she didn't expect Lu Chuan to say this, and she used an extremely ugly word 'steal'! Her face was blue and white, and her body couldn't help but take a few steps back.
She quickly calmed down and said with undiminished momentum, "The medical book is not fake, but I also studied medicine to cure diseases and save people, which is also a good thing for the benefit of the common people in the world!"
Hmph, what- you want to keep it under your own door and you can't do it?"
Lu Chuan said calmly, "You are also familiar with a hundred books, you must know that medical skills are different from poetry and songs, pharmacology and medical science are boring and difficult to understand, how can any person be able to learn without a teacher?"
What's more, my mother's medical skills are still a big deal with knives...... Healers, even if you accept apprentices, you have to have requirements, right?
According to your words, my mother's book should be one for each person, so that there will be no miracle doctors all over the world?"
"You ......" Lu Shu concluded, what she said did make sense.
Lu Chuan didn't intend to give her a chance to defend herself, and continued, "What's more, the medical books are not with me, how can I swallow them alone? You also said that medical skills are for the benefit of the common people in the world." Since you can't enjoy it alone, what ...... When can my sister return the medical book to me?"
With that, Lu Chuan raised his head and looked at her fixedly. This means that he is urging her to inquire about the whereabouts of her mother's medical book.
"You-" Lu Shu gritted his teeth and glared at Lu Chuan. What a sharp-toothed girl!
She used to think that Lu Chuan had changed. At that time, she didn't realize what had changed.
It was only at this moment that she realized. A thirteen-year-old woman exuded a calm aura all over her body. Eye movements, including expressions...... All of them.
That feeling of calm makes people can't help but think of a meditating Buddha. Playing against such a person, Lu Shu couldn't help but panic, feeling that he was inexplicably shorter.
Lu Shu tried to calm down, and after making a dignified gesture, he said: "I just borrowed the medical book." Can... Will you return it later?"
Lu Chuan smiled: "Okay." ”
Lu Shu frowned, pulled up his face and asked, "You haven't answered my words yet, how can you judge that the poison in it is from cinnabar?"
Lu Chuan said in a low voice, "The Queen Mother didn't say when to let the two of us out of the palace, that is to say, now you and I are both the objects of her suspicion." The meaning of the Queen Mother, the poison in the cinnabar must be explained in public. Otherwise—"
In fact, Empress Dowager Zhang has not taken the initiative to mention this matter. It's just that Lu Chuan had this idea in her heart, and since Lu Shu asked, she directly said that this was what the Queen Mother meant.
In this way, the rumors against Empress Dowager Zhang in the southwest hinterland can be self-defeating. The emperor's poisoning can be attributed to the imperial doctor's misuse of cinnabar.
It doesn't take a single soldier to break the rumors and break Su Kang's layout, this is Lu Chuan's purpose!
However, how could Lu Chuan let Lu Shu know about such an important matter?
So he changed his voice and said with a smile: "Otherwise, won't my sister wronged a good person in vain? ”
After hearing this, Lu Shu's face turned pale, his heart was a little heavy, and he felt like he had lost his soul, "Do you want to be tried in court? It seems that the cinnabar is really poisonous......"
Once the poisoning of cinnabar is revealed in public, it will do no harm to her!
Lu Shu's panic fell into Lu Chuan's eyes.
See...... This is Su Kang, for the sake of his throne, he can not hesitate to push anyone into the fire.
Lu Shu in this life and Lu Chuan in the previous life are all pawns of his ascension to the throne.
Lu Shu was flustered in her heart, what kind of person Empress Dowager Zhang was, she couldn't be clearer, because dozens of people had died because of the emperor's poisoning!
In order to keep her power, what if Empress Dowager Zhang killed one more Lu Shu? Or that Empress Dowager Zhang is now working with the new emperor in the court to correct her guilt...... Then Lu Chuan proved in public that cinnabar was poisonous-
Lu Shu's body began to tremble, and she suddenly remembered Li Xiangyu. Empress Dowager Zhang's idea was to kill Lu Shu and give it to Su Kang and Li Xiangyu!
She was miserable in her chest, and her body staggered a little, and she almost fell to her knees—
Lu Chuan stretched out his hand to help her, and said in a low voice: "What are you afraid of?
Hmph—what could she think!
Lu Shu shook off Lu Chuan's hand fiercely with a desperate face, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes-it's all Lu Chuan's fault!
It's all to blame for her saying that cinnabar is poisonous...... No, the cinnabar may not be poisonous, she must be trying to harm herself with it.
Maybe it's even colluding with Empress Dowager Zhang!
Lu Chuan's hand was thrown away by her--she was hysterical, "I don't need you to be coy! If it weren't for your words, how would I have come to this point? Lu Chuan--If I really have an accident, do you dare to say that it wasn't you who caused it?"
Lu Chuan looked at her with a frank look in his eyes, and said calmly, "Why do I want to hurt you? Is it just for those books? Didn't you just say that you will return it to me after reading it?"
Other than that, what excuse does she have to hurt her?
Most of the family property left by her father is in the hands of Lu Chuan, even if a small part is squandered by Lu Ping, but she should still find Lu Jian to settle this account.
There are unjust debts and debts, and she has always had clear grievances.
Moreover, nothing more or less is taken.
A hint of chill flashed in Lu Shu's eyes, and he slowly approached Lu Chuan, smiled coldly, and said, "You have more reasons to harm me! Your father has passed away, so you hate my father for taking over your father's family business." And you were originally going to marry the prince, but because of a change, you married that cripple -
In fact, in your heart, you are still thinking about Su Kang, am I right?"
Lu Chuan frowned, she really didn't have any idea about Su Kang.
Lu Shu looked at Lu Chuan's expression and felt that he had instantly poked her pain, after all, what woman is born to like to marry a cripple?
"So, you want to take this opportunity to get rid of me, the poisonous thing of cinnabar is also fake-" Lu Shu stared at Lu Chuan's eyes word by word, and approached her step by step.
Suddenly, her gaze stopped, and she looked out of the door: "The Queen Mother-"
