Chapter 161: Personnel Overturned
Gu Qingfeng threw down the red silk to help her, and shouted in shock: "Jun Tong, what's wrong with you?"
She continued to walk forward, stubbornly walking somewhere.
It wasn't until Gu Qingning pounced on her and caught her that she stopped.
The sound of music and cannons is still ringing, and under this joy, the common people have changed color......
Gu Qingning lifted Jun Tong's hijab and looked at the blood gushing out of her mouth, which was more dazzling than the red clothes on her body.
A bright red was followed by a blinding black-red from the corner of her mouth.
The prince of Jin almost fainted, Gu Qingxuan and Gu Qinghuan hurriedly ordered someone to find a doctor, and the others made a mess.
Gu Qingning hugged Jun Tong, her eyes widened and she looked at everything suddenly, she wanted to scream in surprise, but she only felt that she was strangled by the red silk in front of her, and she was suffocated in pain.
The unfinished music drowned out everyone's exclamations, Jun Tong kept vomiting blood in her arms, and she, for a moment, didn't know what she was going to do or say, and she didn't even feel a little real.
The joyful salute finally stopped, the world became quiet, and she finally let out a hysterical cry, a heart-rending cry that seemed to pierce the eardrums and the human heart.
Jun Tong's face was full of pain, and her eyes were gentle, staring at Gu Qingning, so close at this moment, her life hung by a thread, the corners of her lips smiled, and she spit out the words with difficulty: "Ning...... Sister Ning...... I thought...... She won't...... But I ...... Wrong...... "Who is it?Who is it?Jun Tong, tell me, who caused you to be like this?" Gu Qingning was in pain and hatred, and clearly felt that Jun Tong's life was passing in front of her eyes, and she could only ask this question frantically......
Jun Tong didn't answer, just kept vomiting blood, and kept saying: "Be careful, be careful......"
"Sister Ning...... You have to be careful...... Be careful...... Don't forget...... Lu Jia......"
In the midst of the chaos, a figure pushed through the crowd, squeezed to the front, pounced in front of them, and unnoticedly blocked the close relatives of the two families.
At this moment, only Fusu could still maintain some composure, and she knelt on the ground and leaned over to check on Jun Tong's situation. Gu Qingning seemed to see the last hope, and hurriedly let go of her upper body so that she could diagnose Fusu, "Fusu! I beg you, you must save her!"
Listening to her beg words, Fusu raised her eyes to look at her, and then methodically looked at the face and cut the pulse, and finally came to Jun Tong's lips and sniffed carefully, after a while, she hurriedly wiped Jun Tong's lips with a handkerchief, until the blood and lip grease were wiped clean, she sniffed the smell on the handkerchief again, and after confirming it repeatedly, her face was also a little flustered.
Fusu made a gesture to Gu Qingning, Gu Qingning understood, and shouted, "Quick!
Someone immediately sent a pen and paper, and Fusu wrote on the spot: "Poison is a little lip, strange poison, the antidote is difficult to make, and life is in danger." β
"Dotting your lips?" Gu Qingning looked at the dying Jun Tong, still not wanting to let go of the slightest hope, she grabbed Fusu's arm: "What antidote can save her? Fusu, can you make an antidote? You must save her......"
Fusu showed a sad look and hung his head and wrote on the paper: "Only Prajnadan can solve it, but it takes a month to make medicine, and few people make it." β
When everyone saw it, they all sighed for a while.
That little light seemed to be getting farther and farther away from them, and Jun Hitomi could no longer speak, as if all the blood had been drained, she was still gasping in pain, vomiting blood, and being brutally pushed to death......
Imperial Physician Zhao, who was present, rushed over, originally to treat Jun Tong, one step too late for Fu Su, at this time he saw Jun Tong's situation, and saw the antidote written by Fu Su, he remembered, and said excitedly: "I know where there is a Buddha Dan......! She is the daughter of the Hua family, the king of Western medicine, with excellent medical skills, and recently she has been making this kind of Ruodan, and the He family has also asked the Tai Hospital for Tianxin Cao, which is extremely precious, and the Hua family does not have it, and the only remaining one in the Tai Hospital was given to Mrs. He Shao by the emperor...... But a Tianxin grass can only make one Prajna Dan, which is a miraculous medicine that can cure all kinds of poisons, and only a few people have made it from ancient times to the present......"
Imperial Physician Zhao's words rekindled hope in Gu Qingning's heart, "Okay! Let's go to Hefu to ask for medicine immediately!"
King Jin was already a person who had lost half of his life at this time, and at the time of the county lord's life and death, he naturally could not be expected to come forward in person. Gu Qingfeng is the newlywed husband of the county lord, and he can't leave. They were the most important people to her, and they all had to be by her side.
After thinking about it for a while, Gu Qingxuan arranged: "Qingning, Qinghuan, you go to Hefu to ask for medicine! As soon as possible! Qingfeng will first carry the county lord into the Taoist room, so as not to make her feel so uncomfortable, Fusu and the imperial doctor will think of detoxifying the county lord again, and Brother Hechuan will help me take care of the prince." β
After finishing this clearly, he suddenly said loudly: "Old Tang!"
When Uncle Tang heard this, he hurriedly rushed forward, "My lord?"
Gu Qingxuan used his afterglow to slightly sweep the crowded crowd around him, and saw all the faces, familiar and unfamiliar, and understood in his heart that there were a few people who were really sad, and a few people who were secretly happy in their hearts. What's more, the catastrophe of the Gu Mansion is a good opportunity in the eyes of some people.
He raised his sleeves and said directly: "Send off!"
Gu Qingning handed over Jun Tong to Fusu's arm, stimulated himself to cheer up, couldn't bear to take a second look, immediately got up from the ground, ran out of the mansion with Gu Qinghuan, and drove the horse to General He's mansion.
Daqi once had two major medical families standing side by side in the world, one was the Su family, the king of Eastern medicine, who started in Luoyang, had a high status in the rivers and lakes, and was good at making drugs and medicines, and the other was the Hua family who started in the imperial capital of Chang'an, and had many imperial physicians, and the family respected the alchemy of healing.
Because of the disaster of the Immortal Sect, the Su family in Luoyang went to extinction, and now there is only one pearl left in the sea, and the Chang'an Hua family has lost its glory due to the sparseness of the people.
He Shi'an's wife Hua Ruotian is the daughter of the Hua family and the only successor of the Hua family's medical skills.
It is Gu Qingning's last hope at this time.
She and Gu Qinghuan rushed all the way to He Mansion, but they didn't expect He Mansion to suffer the same grief and suffering as them at this moment - Hua Ruo was critically ill and his life was on the verge of death.
The sisters and brothers of the Gu family came to the door in a hurry, and they couldn't take care of many courtesies, and the He family greeted them, and they told the reason, please see Mrs. He Shao to ask for the Panruodan.
The He family's face showed embarrassment, and He Luoke, whose eyes were red and swollen, was excited for a while, and blurted out: "No! There is only one Pranya Dan! It is a life-saving medicine for my sister-in-law!"
General He and his wife were concerned about their daughter-in-law's life, and they were worried about offending the Jin Wangfu and the Gu family, so they didn't know how to respond.
Gu Qingning didn't know the seriousness of Hua Ruo's condition, thinking that she still had time, so he bowed to the He family again, and tearfully pleaded: "The county lord of Chengshuo is highly poisoned and his life hangs by a thread......!
He Luoke was stimulated by her words, and rushed forward angrily, pushed Gu Qingning to the ground, and cried: "The county lord is alive, and my sister-in-law will not live? Do you know that this medicine was obtained by my sister-in-law after practicing for forty days, and it will be released today, this is her last hope, how can I give it to you! Don't be so selfish, okay?"
Gu Qinghuan held Gu Qingning, who was about to fall, and said loudly to He Luoke: "Miss He, don't do this! Sister is not selfish, but the county lord's life is in danger!"
Being yelled at by him, He Luoke became even more angry, "The county lord's life is worried, can my sister-in-law's life be left alone?" She couldn't help but push the Gu family sisters and brothers out: "You go! You get out of here! I don't want to give you my sister-in-law's life-saving medicine!"
Gu Qingning's heart was like a needle cone at the moment, and when he was savagely pushed away by He Luoke, he actually knelt down with both knees.
She knelt down in the He family's main garden, tears rained down, choked on the ground, kowtowed to the He family, and cried: "I beg you to be okay? She is going to die...... She really can't hold it anymore! It's going to be too late, I can't delay it any longer! I can't let her die! I beg you to give me the medicine! I beg you!"
Gu Qinghuan was shocked by her appearance at this time, he believed that even if someone put a knife on Gu Qingning's neck and threatened her life, she would not be able to kowtow so humbly and beg for mercy, but in front of her...... Is this his sister?
She couldn't afford to pull her up, but kept begging, knocking until her forehead was bruised. She knew that she had no other way, it was useless to calculate or conspire at this moment, she could only use her last bit of strength to fight against life and death, to keep that person......
General He and his wife are about to be shaken, and He Luoke's heart is still like a stone, after all, she has been looking forward to it for so many days and prays for her sister-in-law to save her life, she can't let go of the opportunity of her own life, and save another person she doesn't know at all!
She dragged Gu Qingning up from the ground, dragged her to Mrs. He's house, pushed her to the window, asked her to look in, and shouted at her: "Look! She won't be able to survive either! She is already sick like this! That elixir is her hard work and her life-saving medicine, how can you take it away! How dare you beg here with a shy face! She also wants to live!"
In the room, Hua Ruo leaned on the bed, her face was withered, pale and weak, there was no trace of blood on her face, her face was as thin as a stone carving, and the pain was doing her last torture, turning her from a graceful young woman into a withered person with only a faint breath......
In the center of the room was a medicine pod, and smoke curled up. Hua Ruotian's weak gaze was fixed on this tripod......
Seeing this, Gu Qingning was also heartbroken for her, but the impression in her mind that could not be diluted was that Jun Tong vomited blood in her arms, her eyes touched the blood stains on her clothes, the tears in her eyes did not dry, and nothing could bring her reason back.
Gu Qingning pushed He Luoke away, slammed the door open and rushed into the house, regardless of He Shi'an, who was guarding the side, knelt down beside Hua Ruo's couch, and said in a sad voice: "Young Lady He, Gu Qingning worships! At this time, there is a young woman who is dying of severe poison, and only the young lady's Prajna Dan can save her! Gu Qingning has come to ask for medicine! Please ask Mrs. for medicine! If I can save her life, I, Gu Qingning, will do my best to repay the young lady! No regrets in life and death!"
Hua Ruo heard her voice, slowly turned her head with the only strength she had left, raised her heavy eyes, and looked at Gu Qingning, who was kneeling on the ground and bowing three times.
Before Gu Qingning finished worshipping, He Luoke rushed in and pushed her to the ground: "You are too much!"
Gu Qingning ignored He Luoke's fists and feet, and continued to plead with Hua Ruo.
Hua Ruo poured out her breath, and her chapped lips opened and closed for a long time before she made a slight sound: "Luoke...... Don't do that...... The medicine is cured...... Let's take the medicine out...... Give it to her...... Saving ......"
"No!" He Shi'an resisted: "That's the medicine that saved you!
Hua Ruotian looked at He Luoke and He Shi'an, and said, "Luoke, Shi'an...... You miss me...... Don't you look dead and don't you see it?"
The brothers and sisters of the He family were shocked, they had always understood her heart as a healer, and knew that in this way, even if they didn't give the medicine, she wouldn't take the medicine.
So, after hesitating for a while, He Shi'an finally nodded in despair and went to take out the freshly refined Prajna Pill in the medicine tripod.
He Shi'an wrapped the pill in a silk scarf and handed it to Hua Ruotian, she took it in her hand, and raised it to her eyes with great effort, a difficult but relieved smile appeared on her pale face: "I finally refined it...... Finally lived up to the ...... of Fahrenheit's ancestors."
Then she looked at Gu Qingning, who had hope in her eyes, and motioned for everyone else to go out, and she was alone with Gu Qingning.
Gu Qingning trembled and took the pill from her hand, she was happy, but she couldn't believe that there was really such a person in the world who could give her life-saving medicine to others, and she also felt guilty heartache in her heart for Hua Ruotian.
Gu Qingning stepped forward to listen to her, and she said, "I want to tell you...... Actually, this medicine can't save my life...... I told them that refining Prajna Dan would cure me, just to give them hope...... I don't want them to be sad and hopeless because of my illness...... And I'm hopeless...... I just want to refine it in my last days...... This is the world's No. 1 Qi Dan, fulfilling his long-cherished wish...... It's really a ...... Just enough to save people...... Maybe it's fate...... I don't want you to have a knot in your heart, so I tell the truth......"
Gu Qingning's tears fell, and he solemnly kowtowed to her again, this time because of true gratitude within his senses.
She put away the medicine and said goodbye to Hua Ruotian: "Human life is at stake, there is no time to delay, I will go first, Mrs. He, take care!"
Gu Qingning hurriedly left the house, and together with Gu Qinghuan, he hurriedly left the General's Mansion under the resentful gaze of the He family brothers and sisters, got on his horse and pulled the reins, regardless of it, and returned the same way.
When I went back, the figure in front of Gu's house was already sparse, and the red lights and red silk were still full of eyes, and it was a barren celebration.
Gu Qingning almost rolled off the horse, rushed into her house in embarrassment and panic, and went straight to the new house where Jun Tong was, she was afraid that her pace would slow down a little, she was too afraid that she would not be able to catch up, as if she was fighting against an invisible fate......
However, she was still slow.
At the door of the new house full of people, she heard the monstrous cries in the room, the prince's, the breeze, and other people's......
Gu Qingxuan stood in front of the door, looking sad and puzzled, seeing that she got the medicine and hurried back, she stretched out her hand to stop Gu Qingning, who was running into the room.
"Qingning, you're coming back late...... The county lord has gone to ......"
Before that, she had a lot to say, she wanted to cheer that she had finally got the medicine, she wanted to tell everyone that Jun Hitomi was saved, she wanted to celebrate all this reversal thousands of times, she wanted to see Jun Hitomi who came back to life in just a moment and cried with joy, she wanted to vent and yelled wildly......
However, Gu Qingxuan's words choked her thousand words.
This sudden ending stifled all the twists and turns and struggles that had preceded it.
At that moment, Gu Qingning's footsteps stopped, his breathing stopped, and even his heartbeat stopped.
She felt that the world was quiet.
Gu Qingning still held the Prajna Dan in her hand tightly, turned around steadily, and everyone gave way to her, and she slowly walked into this new houseβthe new house she had personally prepared for them.
Everything in the room was perfect, including the breathless people lying on the couch were all beautiful.
She no longer vomits blood, she doesn't struggle anymore, she doesn't suffer anymore......
She closed her eyes and would never wake up again.
She was like that, dressed in a red robe, lying on the bed made of red brocade, the red gauze curtain fluttering, and the dazzling red candle was burning in front of the couch.
Gu Qingning didn't step forward directly, she looked at Jun Tong on the couch fixedly, she asked Jiang Xiange beside her, "When did she go?"
Jiang Xiange said bitterly: "Just before you come back, it's a little bit away...... We still haven't kept her......"
Gu Qingning looked at Jiang Xiange, looked at Gu Qingfeng who was crying on the couch, and then turned her head to look at Gu Qingxuan and Gu Qinghuan, and then, she smiled.
Laughing louder and louder, more and more crazy, until tears burst into laughter.
She became like a helpless little girl, looked around blankly, opened the brocade box in her hand tremblingly, carefully held it in the palm of her hand, and showed it to Jiang Xiange, thinking obsessively: "Xiange, look, I got the medicine back...... This is a miracle medicine that can cure all kinds of poisons and save people's lives...... The only one in the world...... I knelt down and kowtowed to them, crying out to them...... I snatched it out of the hands of a dying patient...... I didn't dare to delay for a moment to bring it back......"
As she spoke, her body was weak and weightless, and she gradually slid down, and fell to the ground.
Jiang Xiange hurriedly leaned over and hugged her, soothing: "I understand, I understand, Qingning, you have done everything you can, you have done your best, don't blame yourself......"
"No! no!" she shook her head, her eyes glazed over: "I haven't done enough! I still haven't been able to keep her! I hurt her! I ruined her! I killed her!"
She was completely devastated, had the momentum to vent everything, and became more and more excited and crazy. In fact, Jiang Xiange would rather she complain well than accumulate hardship.
Gu Qingning's movements became intense, and he wanted to pounce on the bed, but was stopped by an unfamiliar hand.
It was Princess Xiao, the side concubine of King Jin, equivalent to Jun Tong's adoptive mother, and she said to Gu Qingning: "The dead are gone, I hope to rest in peace." The county lord was poisoned to death, you can't blame Miss Gu...... So Miss Gu, don't blame yourself...... Don't make a fuss about it here. The prince is already very sad, if you add to his heartache, won't you be rude?"
Yes, today's protagonist is not her, it is the county lord and Qingfeng, the saddest thing at the moment is the prince and Qingfeng, a bereaved daughter and a bereaved wife, what is she stirring up here with an unrelated person?
Princess Xiao didn't want the county lord to be disturbed, so she asked Jiang Xiange to take Gu Qingning out, and she herself and the others also withdrew from the new house.
Except for Jun Tong's closest relatives and husband, everyone else's wails are just noisy.
In the end, she didn't even have the right to mourn for her.
β¦β¦
Out of the new house, Gu Qingning didn't look back, and he didn't cry anymore. Fusu and Jiang Xiange accompanied her, she casually stuffed the Pranydan into Fusu's hand, lowered her head and adjusted her breath a few times, and went to Gu Qingxuan to discuss how to do the next thing.
After all, they have a lot more to do.
This Manfu red silk has to be replaced with white flowers, and the congratulatory gifts should be returned, and they must also write a retirement post to comfort the guests who are unhappy today, and when the king of Jin is relieved, he should discuss with him whether the marriage is still a number of funerals, what should be done, and how should the people from the criminal department come to the autopsy to cooperate with them to let them start investigating the case as soon as possible, but they can't let them investigate the Gu family too deeply......
Also, how to comfort the breeze?
A happy event turns into a funeral, and someone has to be responsible for cleaning up the mess.
Sangu immediately got to work, and then came a more hectic day. She seemed to be doing everything as usual, like her father and brother, she did not sign for the time being, coping with all kinds of trivial matters during the day, and writing drawings and official documents all night long.
Three days later, the county lord's funeral was held in Gu's mansion, and snow willow and white flowers were erected all over the courtyard.
At dawn, Gu Qingning and Gu Qinghuan, who had been busy all night without rest, were the first to come out, ready to deal with various matters.
The two of them put on plain clothes, and walked under the white silk corridor with a dim faint light, Gu Qinghuan looked at Gu Qingning who was walking upright in front of him, and found that she had lost a lot of weight, and her body was still straight but particularly thin......
He remembered that these days, Gu Qingning had been doing these things, as if she was doing it for someone who had nothing to do with her, without pouring out a little extra emotion, she was capable and thoughtful, but no one could know what she was thinking.
Walking silently, he suddenly spoke up and asked, "Sister, do you love her?"
Gu Qingning paused for a long time before turning his head and replying, "I don't know." β
He saw the tears in her eyes.
"All I know is that I probably won't fall in love with anyone again for the rest of my life. β
β¦β¦
At the same time, there is another family in Chang'an City that is also holding funerals.
Mrs. He Shao Hua Ruotian died of illness, and the jade died on the same day as the lord of Chengshuo.
At the end of October, the wind rose, the white flowers fell, and the cold fell in Chang'an.
