Chapter Ninety-Five: Eternal Night Without Light 2
In the room warmed by the warm sun, for Zhu Zimo's analysis, Mu Ziru, who was sitting on the edge of the carved wooden bed, shook his head and denied without hesitation: "I thought of your speculation from the beginning, but if it is still the poison from last time, even if it is in a latent state, I can find out." But I just took her pulse and found that there was nothing unusual about her body. This only proves that either she was not poisoned at all, or that she had poison that she had not been poisoned before, and that the poison was very high and very toxic. ”
After listening to Mu Ziru's explanation, Zhu Zimo, who was standing in front of the carved wooden bed, frowned and groaned, and suddenly asked: "You said before that she was poured poisoned wine...... If you start with this, can you find out what kind of poison it is?"
Mu Ziru, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, nodded when he heard this, frowned and replied: "Although there is no guarantee that it will be found, it is much easier than starting to find out from her." But ......"
Mu Ziru's words were not finished, but how could Zhu Zimo, who grew up with Mu Ziru since childhood, not hear what Mu Ziru's unfinished words were?
So, I saw Zhu Zimo, who was standing in front of the carved wooden bed, frowning again, and suddenly asked: "Who told you the news of her accident?" ”
Hearing this, Mu Ziru did not hide it at all, and replied truthfully: "I told you that when the Reclining Buddha Temple was attacked at night before, the secret guard brought by Leng Yatou, he was ordered by the emperor to follow Leng Yatou to protect Leng Yatou. After the night attack on the Reclining Buddha Temple, Leng Yatou said a lot of good things for him in front of the first emperor, and I heard that he has now been promoted to the captain of the guard of this generation of secret guards. ”
Listening to Mu Ziru's answer, Zhu Zimo's expression suddenly relaxed, and his tone was no longer cold and heavy as before: "Then there's nothing to worry about." ”
Hearing this, Mu Ziru also seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Zhu Zimo with some surprise: "Ah Mo, what do you mean ......?"
At this time, without waiting for Mu Ziru to finish speaking, Zhu Zimo, who was standing in front of the carved wooden bed, smiled and nodded, and said in a clear manner: "The secret guards around the emperor have always been cultivated since birth, and every secret guard is a talent of one in a million. The last time you mentioned him to me, I sent someone to investigate his situation secretly.
Although I don't know what he looks like, but I found out that he is only in his early twenties this year, and his skills are not below me, he is a man of few words, he is very cautious and disciplined, and he is a person who takes one step at a time and sees three steps. Being able to sit in the position of the captain of the dark guard at a young age is not just because Leng Qing helped him say good things, but because he does have the ability to sit in this position. ”
After listening to Zhu Zimo's words in silence, Mu Ziru's heart, which was still a little hanging, was completely put down: "You have always been above the top, and the person who can make you praise so much seems to be indeed a capable person." ”
Regarding Mu Ziru's statement that his "eyes are above the top", Zhu Zimo chose not to comment, and only smiled and jumped back to the issue they talked about before: "So, we don't need to worry about poisonous wine at all." Wait, at the latest, when it gets dark, someone will bring the cup of poisoned wine to us. ”
In the face of Zhu Zimo's confident words, Mu Ziru, who was sitting on the edge of the carved wooden bed, did not speak, but silently lowered his eyes to look at Leng Qing, who was lying on the bed, still in a coma......
In Mu Ziru's uncontrollable anxious waiting, time passed minute by minute......
Just as Zhu Zimo expected, when night fell, the Zhu Mansion ushered in a guest that its owner had been waiting for for a long time-
When Long Qing, who was wrapped in tight-fitting black clothes and even his hands in black gloves, and only showed a pair of small and round, black and white, and clear-eyed crane eyes on his face, stepped on the endless night and quietly landed in the Han Courtyard from the night sky, Zhu Zimo, who was sitting in the Moon Pavilion in the courtyard of the Han Courtyard, and had been waiting for an afternoon, immediately pursed his lips and laughed.
Standing up and walking out of the Moon Pavilion slowly, Zhu Zimo walked towards Long Qing, who was standing motionless in the Han courtyard, and at the same time said a little lazily: "I've been waiting for a long time." ”
“…… I've seen Chehou. Seeing Zhu Zimo walking towards him, Long Qing didn't dodge, and after being silent for two seconds, Long Qing also greeted Zhu Zimo very calmly.
At this moment, standing two steps away from Long Qing, Zhu Zimo restrained the smile on his lips, and said with a serious face: "Don't talk nonsense, do you bring something?"
As soon as Zhu Zimo finished speaking, Long Qing decisively raised his left hand hanging by his side, stretched it out in front of Zhu Zimo, and spread out his clenched palm...... Under the light of the lights in the distance, I saw a small white porcelain vase lying in the palm of Long Qing's left hand.
After spreading out his palms, Long Qing didn't talk nonsense, and opened his mouth and said, "This is the peach blossom brew that Leng Zhaoyi was forced to pour at that time." Qinghua Palace is heavily guarded, and I waited a long time to find an opportunity to start, so I was late. ”
At this time, Zhu Zimo reached out and took away the small white porcelain bottle in Long Qing's palm, and then raised his eyes to look at Long Qing, and his tone was quite solemn: "As long as you come, it's not too late." ”
At that time, Long Qing nodded when he heard this, and said, "I sent the things." I still have something to do, so let's go first. ”
Zhu Zimo didn't hesitate to keep it, and directly bowed his hand to Long Qing and said, "I don't send it off." ”
At that time, Long Qing didn't speak again, only silently performed light skills, and disappeared in a blink of an eye......
And at this time, when Long Qing left, Zhu Zimo immediately took the small white porcelain bottle and went to Mu Ziru.
In the room with a bright candle flame, after Mu Ziru shook and sniffed the liquor contained in the small white porcelain bottle, Zhu Zimo couldn't help asking, "Ah Wei, can you find out what kind of poison it is?"
In the face of Zhu Zimo's question, Mu Ziru, who was holding the small white porcelain bottle, was silent for two seconds, and then suddenly pursed his lips and smiled extremely evilly: "There are only dozens of colorless, tasteless and poisonous poisons in this world. ”
After Mu Ziru's answer, Zhu Zimo's heart that had been hanging was finally half put back......
Following. At the beginning of the hour. As the sun rises.
In the Han courtyard, pushing open the door of the wing room where Mu Ziru lived, Zhu Zi had already taken the lead in asking before he stepped into the door: "Ah Wei, what's wrong?
"Not yet, but soon, soon......" It was Mu Ziru's tired and flustered voice that replied to Zhu Zimo.
After glancing at the room that had been messy overnight, full of various medical classics, and the person sitting on the cold ground in the room, who was trying to flip through a thick book, Zhu Zimo couldn't help but sigh: "Ah Wei, you calm down, don't worry, if you are in a hurry, you will mess up, and it will only be more difficult to get things done." ”
Mu Ziru, who was sitting casually on the cold ground and was concentrating on reading the classics, didn't know if he had listened to Zhu Zimo's words, so he only responded casually: "I know, I know...... I'm not going to mess around, definitely not ......"
Seeing this, Zhu Zimo couldn't say anything, lest he would force Mu Ziru and make Mu Ziru even more flustered. So, after a slight sigh, Zhu Zimo gently closed the door and retreated......
After that, Zhu Zimo didn't bother Mu Ziru again for a whole day.
In the evening, it was Mu Ziru, who looked tired, who took the initiative to go to Zhu Zimo's study to find Zhu Zimo.
Without waiting for Zhu Zimo to ask, Mu Ziru, who looked depressed, put an open and somewhat broken ancient book on the Zhu lacquer book case in front of Zhu Zimo, and said in a tired tone: "I found out, the poison in the cold girl is 'five days drunk'." ”
"Five days drunk?" Zhu Zimo frowned in response to Mu Ziru's words, while picking up the ancient book that Mu Ziru had put on the bookcase in front of him, and set his eyes on the page that had been turned on the ancient book.
At this time, Mu Ziru, who was standing in front of the bookcase, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, which were a little throbbing, and replied in a tired tone: "Hmm...... Like the Red Charm Poison in your senior brother, they are all Gu poisons that are only recorded in ancient books. It is recorded in ancient books that the five-day drunkenness must be drunk in wine to work. The poisoned person has a poison time ranging from one day to five days, but there is no antidote for those who are poisoned, even Da Luo Jinxian can't live for five days, so it is called 'five days drunk'. ”
Hearing Mu Ziru's words, Zhu Zimo simply threw away the ancient book in his hand, and asked Mu Ziru instead: "Is there a solution?"
Mu Ziru, who was still rubbing his eyebrows that were a little throbbing, nodded, and replied word by word: "It is recorded in ancient books that the antidote to five days of drunkenness requires a total of more than 30 kinds of medicinal materials, and when boiling the antidote, each medicinal material has a order to put in...... Among them, the most critical two flavors are celery and danzhi. ”
As Mu Ziru's words fell, Zhu Zimo, who was sitting behind the Zhu Qi bookcase, also frowned deeply: "Qin Shao and Danzhi?
At this moment, I saw that Mu Ziru, who looked tired, suddenly leaned back, fell directly to the cold ground, and then nodded with a painful face: "Yes...... There is no hope...... Can't be saved...... The two most critical medicinal herbs are rare medicines, not only are they scarce, but they also take a hundred years to mature each time.
Although I have seen those medicinal herbs in ancient books, if you hadn't given me the exact direction, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to find them. At that time, after finding the medicinal materials, I collected all the mature medicinal materials, and then used them all to refine the antidote to the red charm poison, and I didn't expect that they would be useful one day...... Now if you want to get mature medicinal materials, you have to wait another hundred years......"
Hearing Mu Ziru's words, Zhu Zimo seemed to have nothing else to say except for being silent: a hundred years...... If Leng Qing had that time to wait...... There is no need for an antidote......
Zhu Zimo, who was sitting behind the vermilion lacquer bookcase, and Mu Ziru, who was sitting on the ground in front of the bookcase, were silent......
After a long time, Zhu Zimo, who was frowning when he heard it, sighed: "Ah Huan...... Everyone has their own fate, she was not allowed to enter the palace at the beginning, she had to go to the pool of troubled waters, is the palace so easy to enter...... Now that I have come to this point, I can't blame anyone. ”
"......" Mu Ziru, who was sitting on the cold ground in front of the bookcase, was silent and did not speak.
At that time, Zhu Zimo, who was sitting behind the Zhu Qi bookcase, hesitated for a while, and Fang Ru said, "Ah Wei, this news ...... Are you going to say it or am I going to say it?"
Hearing Zhu Zimo's question, Mu Ziru, who was sitting on the ground, lowered his head deeply, and muttered, "Ah Mo...... I'm sorry...... I ......, "There's really no way to open that mouth......
Seeing this, Zhu Zimo instantly understood what Mu Ziru meant...... Why can't he open that mouth......
But there must be someone to tell Leng Qing about this......
So, Zhu Zimo, who was sitting behind the Zhu Qi bookcase, could only sigh and soothe: "Ah Wei, it's not your fault, so you don't need to blame yourself for it." This...... It was her own path. Today's fruit is the cause of her own brewing, and she has to complain...... I can only blame her for her life......"
Since he decided to tell Leng Qing the truth, Zhu Zimo didn't hide it, after dinner, Zhu Zimo went to the room where Leng Qing lived, and told Leng Qing the results obtained from Mu Ziru concisely: "Although Ah Wei found out the poison in you and found the formula for the antidote, but ......"
"But there's no way to make an antidote...... Is it?" When Zhu Zimo suddenly stopped talking, Leng Qing, who was sitting at the head of the carved wooden bed, spoke for Zhu Zimo very calmly.
Zhu Zimo, who was standing in front of the carved wooden bed, was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Yes." ”
After getting Zhu Zimo's affirmative response, Leng Qing pursed her lips and smiled, her voice calm and slow: "Thank you for helping me...... These two days...... He must be anxious and trying to help me...... Now I have found the formula of the antidote, but I can't refine the antidote, so I want to ...... He's worse than anyone else......"
Seeing that Leng Qing could still smile so easily, Zhu Zimo's expression couldn't help but be a little cold: "What about you, aren't you afraid of it?"
Facing Zhu Zimo's question, Leng Qing still smiled: "People who have died a few times are also familiar with Lord Yama, so there is nothing to be afraid of." I chose this path myself, and who is to blame for coming to this point? So there is nothing to feel uncomfortable about. ”
Leng Qing's relaxation obviously stimulated Zhu Zimo, and saw Zhu Zimo sneering: "You are free and easy." Let me thank you for your behalf, why don't you go in person, why don't you go and see Ah Yu and see how much pain he is now!!"
Leng Qing, who was sitting at the head of the carved wooden bed, still smiled shallowly: "It's because I know...... That's why I don't want to go...... At that time, Gu Linyu said that although this poison is fierce, it is a chronic poison. It will take 24 hours at the earliest, and 30, or even 40 or 50 hours. It's been a day and a half now, and if you do the math, I can live for three and a half days at most...... I...... I don't want to let myself feel at ease......"
Listening to Leng Qing's words, Zhu Zimo not only had a cold tone, but even looked at Leng Qing's eyes gradually became cold: "You are really ...... Ruthless ......"
Leng Qing always smiled so indifferently: "I'm all about to die, merciful or ruthless...... Does it still matter?"
Regarding Leng Qing's words, Zhu Zimo's only reaction was to have a cold face and walk away.
However, when Zhu Zimo flicked his sleeves and turned to leave, Leng Qing, who was sitting at the head of the carved wooden bed, suddenly spit out in a low voice: "Zhu Zimo...... Thank you ......."
