1-011 The Secret of the Pill
The old woman smiled with satisfaction, and stared at the middle-aged man opposite with a smile: "Si Kou Xiangming, your wife is so cruel." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The middle-aged prime minister Si Kou Xiangming's brows were furrowed extremely tightly, he took the pill from the young man's hand and sniffed it hesitantly, his nose was full of bitter medicine, but he couldn't smell anything unusual, although he was puzzled in his heart, and the doubt in his eyes was not revealed, but he didn't take the words, but his brows were furrowed tighter and tighter, and some dissatisfaction was revealed.
As if she had long known Si Kou Xiangming's thoughts, the old woman glanced at her apprentice appreciatively and said, "Although this kid Zizhen is not good at words, he is talented in herbal medicine, and even Wang Qibai of Nanchu is full of praise...... If you take the mountain bean root, you will be dizzy and unsteady in walking, and you will be directly damaged by the heart and brain, and your limbs will be paralyzed. It looks like a remnant of typhoid fever, and a year of poison is enough. ”
Si Kou Xiangming's face tightened, a little shocked that this inconspicuous medicine had such an effect, and what was even more surprising was that Wang Qibai was a great physician high in the temple, but he didn't expect that any child behind this old woman would have such a big background, so he put away the previous coldness, with some caution, and after thinking about it, he said:
"Yan Hui has always been weak, and she is also the candidate that her mother-in-law pointed to when she left, even if she is jealous of Sanniang, Zhun Er is already so old, how can she be so unwise?"
"The reason why I asked you to marry her was just the fastest way to go at that time. ”
The old woman shook her head and continued, sneering: "Dissatisfied with her husband to be given to other women, resentful of everything her children have to be shared with other people's children, resentment has long existed, even fairies and demons cannot be avoided, how can it be so easy to dissolve?"
As if remembering something funny, the old woman laughed again, as if the muddy old tears were about to fall in the next second.
Si Kou Xiangming just listened quietly, looking respectful. Although he is the prime minister of the Great Wei, he ...... He didn't know how long the old woman in front of him had lived, but since his grandfather's generation, there had been some kind of force infiltrating various institutions on this continent, and this mysterious old woman was the representative of this force. The Si Kou clan can be passed down stably for several generations, and even many of the clansmen have held important positions in the political, business, and local circles of various countries, and they are indispensable for the guidance of the power behind this old woman.
"Xiang Ming, you are Si Kou Yuanzhi, originally Wei Guo couldn't do this mess in your turn, but there are fewer people in Si Kou's own family, and your courage is also small......"
"My mother-in-law values the younger generations too much. The younger generation can't afford it. Si Kou said respectfully to Ming Bi.
"You're one of the few smart people of my generation. The woman's cloudy eyes looked out the window, looking out into the sky, and her old eyes were full of resentment and fear, and then she continued: "Have you ever thought it strange that children are born and die constantly, but the number of people on the ground is always within a reasonable range, and the grass sprouts in the spring, and the rain in the summer nourishes the ...... What does that mean?"
Si Kou Xiang understood every word, but he didn't understand it comprehensively. However, the rules passed down from the family, he also guessed some of them more or less - this old lady seems to want chaos in the world.
The old woman looked at him without speaking, and laughed again:
"The State of Wei is just a line of normative boundaries, the State of Qi, the State of Qin, and even you and me, everything is a line. All people don't know what the meaning of their lives is...... As long as you cut these threads and muddy the waters of this pool, you will understand why you are alive... Because, by overthrowing this world, you will see the ultimate ...... of the world."
The young man who was as silent as stagnant water stood in a daze, as if he couldn't hear these marginal but seemingly mysterious words, and the Si Kou Xiangming at the table lowered his head, but his face was slightly pale, and he looked up tremblingly, and was about to say something, but he saw that the candle flame opposite the table was not shaking, and it was empty!
But the old woman was gone!
Only the remaining young man, looking at the stunned Si Kou Xiangming, had a dead face, handed over the brocade box in his hand with a salute and said:
"Zi Zhen has replaced the medicine, and these Qingxin pills must be sent to the emperor's hands and taken every day. ”
"To put it lightly, Your Majesty's medicines are all in Shi Lan's hands, how can you hide it?" Si Kou Xiangming was a little worried, shook his head and said, "How can I deliver the medicine?"
"The herbs on Zhaoyao Island are not recognizable to everyone. ”
Lin Zizhen Muran shook his head and said, suddenly smiling sadly, "If you say how to deliver it, don't you already have a plan?"
"You ......" Si Kou Xiangming was frightened, stood up, and looked at the young man fixedly.
"I heard that the little emperor of Great Wei has always loved beauties, and he is weak and soft-hearted, and now the prime minister allows the eldest lady to torture the second son, isn't it just to send it to the palace tomorrow and enter the eyes of the little emperor. ”
Si Kou looked at the gray-clothed young man for a long time before asking, "What about Ye'er?"
Lin Zizhen looked at him, and suddenly smiled, but his eyes were a little cold.
"Although the eldest son is young, he acts in a biased manner, so as not to cause trouble, it is not suitable to stay in Beijing, just ...... My mother-in-law likes it very much, and she has been sent back to the island today to practice. With that, the gray-clothed young man Lin Zizhen walked out, with light steps, and disappeared into the vast night after pushing open the door of the study.
Si Kou Xiangming didn't get up to chase after him, he knew that these two people were ghostly, and he would definitely not see a figure when he chased them out at this time. He seemed to be suddenly many years old, tired and leaning back on his forehead, as if thinking about something.
Si Kou Xiang Ming accepted the medicine box, waved his hand and beckoned the old steward to come in, closed his eyes and explained: "Tell Madame, I sent the eldest prince to study at the master's place, don't worry." ”
The old housekeeper who was next to the door answered, and asked a little hesitantly: "What about the second son?"
"I never knew what he was thinking. ”
Prime Minister Si Kou frowned and said, speaking of which, he doesn't know his two sons, one is cloudy and sunny, and the other is indifferent and indifferent, neither of which is what he wants.
"Well, how about finding another way out?"
Old Steward Zhao hesitated a little and said respectfully. He didn't know who Xiang Ye met and what he said tonight, but he vaguely sensed that Xiang Ye seemed to have made some dangerous decisions. But out of gratitude for many years, he always couldn't help but think about Si Kouzhun's situation and future. For some reason, he always felt uneasy in his heart, and subconsciously wanted to get out of this dangerous atmosphere.
Si Kou Xiang Ming sneered, looked at Old Steward Zhao mockingly, and said, "Don't think about it. Even if you are yearning for Sanniang in your heart, the old woman chose Yanhui after all. They have lived longer than us, and they have many more eyes than us...... Thirty years ago, the Si Kou family was once powerful enough to influence the situation in the Qin State, but because of their high self-esteem, they went against their wishes, and hundreds of people in the mansion died violently overnight. ”
The old steward's body was shocked, and he raised his head, his eyes uncertain.
"Don't doubt their strength. ”
Si Kou stabilized his mind to Ming, and explained with some solemnity. He suddenly remembered that thirty years ago, when it was almost fatal to the lifeblood of the Si Kou family, his parents, who were unable to participate in the family's affairs, had to go back to participate in the aftermath, and it was said that those people were all hollowed out by insects.
Only skins remain.
Si Kou Xiangming felt that the house was a little stuffy, and his back was a little cold, he looked out the window again, the wind shook the branches in the courtyard, the dark clouds rolled, and there was a dull thunder.
It's going to rain.
