Chapter 63: Guess One or Two
As soon as he came out of the Jing Concubine Palace, Xiao Jiu was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. Mingyu couldn't see anything, and was afraid that she would break the rules on the road, so he had to pull her aside. "But you have a clue?" "I can't tell, there must be a lot of books in the palace, you can take me to see it at this moment." Xiao Jiu was anxious, and as he spoke, he pulled up Mingyu's family.
Ming Yujia was stunned for a moment, and was afraid that people would see that she had lost her reputation, so he hurriedly tore off his sleeves. "Girl, not everyone can enter the imperial study, but there are some medical books in the Tai Hospital, which can be taken to you to see. ”
There was a hint of panic in his tone, and if he looked closely, there was also a hint of peach blossom at the root of his ears. Xiao Jiu watched it straight. secretly felt that he and Chunhua could be a pair. I thought of Chu Yinghan again.
muttered: "Muzi is right, the prince is a big family, I didn't think it before, but now I have to be restrained in everything I do, so I realize that he is chic." Well, let's go to the Tai Hospital first, but quickly. I'm afraid I'm scared of the snake. "What?" Ming Yujia has always been honest, except for encountering strange and intractable diseases, his brain is not as good as Xiao Shunzi.
"I'm just guessing, I've heard about mosquitoes spreading diseases before, and there are some records in ancient books, but I didn't read them carefully at the time, and I don't remember them very well now. ”
"The girl said that Concubine Jing's illness was due to insect bites, so why are the others okay?"
Xiao Jiu lowered his voice, "Have you ever heard that some people raise insects as pets?"
Ming Yujia was taken aback, "You mean Gu worms, this thing is the most urgent thing in the palace, if it is found, it will definitely be certain" His tone stammered, as if he thought of something big. changed his tone and said, "Miss Ling, please be like the Northern Emperor Ming and Qing Dynasties, if you can't find out the source of the disease, go home." “
Xiao Jiu was stunned. "Deputy Envoy, I thought you loved human life as much as I did, but if you didn't care. Concubine Jing is going to die. ”
Mingyu was a little anxious. "I didn't say anything, you tell me the reason, and I will tell you. "
Xiao Jiu immediately understood his intentions, and said loudly: "No, it's obviously my credit, why do you owe it to you?"
"This, this" Mingyu was speechless for a moment. Xiao Jiu smiled again: "Don't do this, that, everything is speculation, check the book first to make sure, and I didn't say that it was a Gu worm." Gu worms need training equipment. This thing is taboo in the palace, it must be difficult to domesticate, and the kind I am talking about is just a simple training, and it is a poisonous insect in itself. It's too much to elaborate, and when I'm free, I'll lend you the book to see. ”
Mingyu didn't say anything, just waiting to follow her, but he was full of interest in books.
The two of them have been soaking in the library of the Tai Hospital, but they have not gained anything. In Xiao Jiu's eyes, the miscellaneous notes in the library pavilion are not as good as her own collection.
I really wanted to ask Beidi, and I knew that Beidi would not agree. And if she says yes, how can she protect herself. In the past, Chu Yinghan was there, but now she is helpless, she wants to cure Concubine Jing, but she is unwilling to put herself in.
After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered Aunt Zhirui, who lived in the same hospital, and without saying a word, he ran to her residence without leaving Mingyu's house.
There was a knock on the door, and a voice came from inside. Xiao Jiu's face was modest. "Aunt Rui, I'm Xiao Jiu. Last night you said you had a problem to ask you about, does that count?"
There was silence inside, and then there was a knock on the door. Welcomed her in.
A small simple room was full of medicinal fragrance, and Aunt Zhirui poured her a glass of water. "Drink a glass of water and sweat before talking. ”
Xiao Jiu sighed and drank with a cup. Green fragrance in the mouth. It's not like an ordinary tea. It was indeed thirsty, and after drinking one glass, he poured another cup for himself. Goo Dong drank and looked back at her.
Aunt Zhi Rui's eyes were clear, not at all like people in their forties, and she smiled faintly. "You're not afraid that I'll poison you?"
"It's just green bamboo, green tea, and hay, hawthorn. How can you poison people?"
Aunt Zhi Rui smiled. "It's a connoisseur!" looked at Xiao Jiu again. "Girl, if it's none of your business, go back as soon as possible. The people in the palace are not something you can meddle with at will. ”
Xiao Jiu didn't like to hear this the most, and it was inconvenient to have a seizure. smiled and said: "How does Aunt Rui know if I can intervene? I guess you know something inside, please tell me, and I have a sense of what to do in the future." It's not going to be a lose-lose!"
Aunt Zhirui smiled with satisfaction, got up and walked to the back of the bed, lifted the curtain, and there was a dark grid. Familiar with the way, he reached out and took a worn-out book, and returned to Xiao Jiu.
"Well, flip through this book and see if you can get anything out of it. ”
When I looked closely, it was my own collection of ancient books, but I had the whole volume, and hers was a thin layer, probably a fragment of transcription.
I flipped it over, and sure enough, it was an insect fragment. Put your hands together. "How do you know about Concubine Jing?" asked simply, making people unguarded.
Aunt Zhirui paused and smiled calmly. "I want to help you, so naturally I'm not afraid of you seeing. There are many people in her palace, and it is inevitable that she will have coughing and abdominal pain. I often come to see them, and even if I don't see them, I can hear them complain. "Did you check the pulse of the blue yarn?"
Aunt Zhi Rui obviously didn't expect that she had guessed, and laughed at herself. "I'm really old, I thought that after reading books, you would have some ideas, and I didn't want everyone to be caught by you!
Xiao Jiuyi was a little embarrassed when he heard it. "I'm just guessing that I was lucky enough to read a fragment of this book when I was a child. In addition, seeing her timidity today, I became suspicious. Aunt Rui, can you tell us more?"
"In that case, I won't hide it. A month ago, when the blue gauze girl was pruning a flower branch and fell from a tree and was scratched by the doctor, I smelled that she was different, and I thought that she was because of the needs of her work and some medical skills, so she found a medicinal solution to prevent mosquitoes from getting close to her. But she was hesitant and made me suspicious. ”
Stretched out his hand, took a sip of the teacup, and continued: "I have heard that there is one in her hall who is often crazy. The older maids and father-in-law all found their way and left. She was guarding alone, but she saw that it was difficult at all. I saw that she was not leaving the medicine bag, so I looked through the book. When Xiao Jiu heard it, he didn't smell any special smell on her body today. But in this way, it is also very similar to the insect keeper in the book.
"Aunt Rui tested her?"
"No, I'm old, I can stay up in the palace for a day, and I don't want to disturb too much!"
Xiao Jiu frowned. "Can Aunt Rui tell me about the habits of poisonous insects and solutions?"
Rui Gu smiled, "If you are sure, there is a method in the book." But Miss Ling, you are not a person in the palace, let alone wading into this troubled water?" Xiao Jiu smiled. "I naturally don't want to get into trouble, but human life is at stake, and if there is a way, I still have to treat it. After speaking, he took the book and got up to take his leave.
On the symptomatic basis, it should be an insect called the tiger beetle, which resembles a longhorn beetle, but is not as large as the longhorn beetle. The body is light blue, with upper and lower sharp teeth, and the bite marks are double-holed. Venom is not enough to kill people, but it can be illusory. Folk goddesses are used to domesticating from generation to generation, and if someone asks for God, they will drive this thing to bite it, as long as a moment. Blood is chaotic and hallucinations occur.
I think it's this thing, but Jing Concubine's symptoms have been maintained for a long time, if she is poisoned, she must not be able to talk nonsense on her own, what else makes her frightened, or is it frightened for a long time?
There was a soft knock on the door. Xiao Jiu raised his head at this time. After looking around curiously, Chunhua and Xiaoshunzi were not in the house.
Xu didn't move, and Xiao Shunzi outside the door said, "Miss Ling, the slave has something to say." ”
"Come in!"
Xiao Shunzi entered the house with his front foot, and Xiao Jiu asked again: "Where is Chunhua?"
"Oh, Miss Chunhua has nothing to do, saying that she went to the imperial doctor to help grind the medicine. ”
Xiao Jiu smiled sullenly, this girl really has a ghost. Straightened up again. "What's the matter?"
Xiao Shunzi covered the door and said: "Girl, I asked about the situation last night, that blue yarn and the dead girl Yuehuan are fellow villagers." Xiao Jiu pursed his lips and frowned. "Well, I have a clue. "Xiao Shunzi is often in the palace, so he naturally knows how powerful it is. Hurriedly said: "Miss Ling, why don't we report to the prince and ask him to give him a way?"
Xiao Jiu smiled coldly, and said with a choked breath: "No need, without him, I will go to the sky and enter the sea like me." After saying that, he didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at Xiao Shunzi.
He smiled, and then said with a straight face: "Xiao Shunzi, I have some suspicions that need to be verified now, and I am a little risky." Do you dare?" Xiao Shunzi looked serious and almost knelt down. "The slave's life is yours, everything is up to the girl's orders!" Xiao Jiu found the letter, wrote the content one by one, and handed it to him: "Tonight, I want to hand over the letter to Concubine Jing." ”
Xiao Shunzi was stunned. "Isn't she crazy to hand it over to Concubine Jing herself?"
"So be careful, don't show your face, just let her see it. ”
Xiao Shunzi didn't ask anymore, took the letter and said, "Yes, the slave must do it." ”
Xiao Jiu shouted again. "After that's done, you can go to another place with me." You have martial arts to hide on the side!" Xiao Shunzi lowered his head and thought, it didn't seem to be a trivial matter. But he also said honestly: "Yes, the slave will go back when he goes." ”
Xiao Shunzi sent the letter to Concubine Jing's pillow, and hurriedly sent the letter to King Ying's mansion. Chu Yinghan looked at the letter and his face was full of anger. Stunned, he threw down a cadre of soldiers who were about to rush to the battlefield and left in a hurry.
Zihuai immediately guessed and hurriedly reassured everyone. "I'm afraid that the war situation has changed, so don't be impatient. "Calm everyone, and I am also worried. The original prince was very harmonious, but at the moment he was faintly uneasy.
In the dark night, Xiao Jiuyi wore a black cloak, which didn't seem to fit well, and the cloak and hat were wide and big, hiding her small face tightly.
The cold wind was slow, but she didn't seem to be in a hurry. Because she is sure, Concubine Jing will definitely come tonight. I also felt that there were many people in the palace, and I seemed to understand the reason why Chu Yinghan did not fight for the position.
In the remote garden tree, there was also a dark shadow, but it was not as calm as her, but it was sulky and full of flames.
She didn't want to listen to the truth of the world, she just wanted to take her to her side and rub her into her bones and blood, and from then on, she had no reason to leave him.
But he didn't want her to lose her nature, and he didn't want her to be involuntarily.
