Chapter XXXVII
Su Huihui pointed at the assassin's throat with a knife that cut herbs, just a meaningless warning. The other party can knock her down with any move, she just recognizes that he is in awe in her heart, and tells him to answer truthfully and not to deceive.
When the assassin entered the house, Su Hui slammed the door shut, fortunately not alerting the two medical officers next door.
"Take off the face towel. She said coldly.
The Assassin glanced at her, pulled down the masked fabric, and pulled it back again when she saw it. The burden he was carrying in his hand fell to the ground, and he quickly untied the slipknot to present several medicinal herbs inside under the lamp, and squatted down to avoid the shadow from appearing on the window paper.
Su Huihui looked at it in turn, this person's eyesight is good, and he picked out all the things that are similar to the target, all of them are blue and black spherical, there are stone pulian, hydrated zygote, seven-star fir, etc., all of which are precious herbs that have been scavenged from all over the world and have been difficult to see for decades.
The twelve-leaf green sand that the assassins were looking for was extremely hot, growing deep in the dense forests of southern Xinjiang, and only blooming once in thirty years, and it was estimated that the doctor on duty had never seen it. The fruit it produces is even rarer, slightly warm, returning to the heart and lung meridians, and it is a miracle medicine for antipyretic poison and strengthening the foundation and cultivating the yuan.
Su Huihui pointed to the second ball on the left with seven leaves, the assassin looked suspicious, she didn't explain, and asked directly:
"What's wrong with Emperor Liang?"
The assassin's eyes were calm, and he said in a low voice: "The county lord doesn't want to deceive someone, I don't think you want to see the Yuwen family alone threatening the life of the saint!"
Su Huihui also said sarcastically: "Your Excellency keeps claiming that I am the county lord, don't you know that there is no such person in Zhuyi on the Liang Guoyu Statue? I don't need to lie to you, the five leaves are in the fruit, not outside." β
The assassin didn't have time to tell her much, so he believed it and said, "What else does the county lord want to ask?" The queen has poisoned the saint for many years, and a certain secret guard has been looking for a twelve-leaf green sand fruit to restrain the poison, and the secret report of the previous month was that there was only one in the imperial pharmacy in the palace of Qi in the whole world, so he had to take the risk to take it. β
Liang Guo's situation is so bad that Cheng DΓΉ is like this? What he said is big, it doesn't seem like a lie, and besides, it is estimated that only the secret guard can casually say the identity that she doesn't even remember.
Su Hui was silent for a while, and then said: "You remember, I am now the imperial judge of Qi State, and I could have ignored your errand today, just because I remembered the friendship that your majesty treated me when I was a child." In the future, the affairs of the Liang Kingdom will have nothing to do with me, and if you succeed in recovering your life, you must not mention me. β
There was a loud shouting outside, as if the guards of Liang Guo who had slipped into the palace had disappeared, and Yu Linwei found that there were dead people in the medicine store, and they were investigating everywhere.
The assassin said, "I have to go, the county lord will take care of himself." β
Su Hui hurriedly said: "Who made you keep staring at me?
"The county lord has always been frank in his work, so he doesn't need to bother. β
The assassin pulled out the knife on his waist and tapped at the dead doctor on the ground: "Today's guards seem to be loose, but in fact they are like catching turtles in an urn. He was placed in the grass not far away, and there was no blood on the ground, so the county lord was relieved. With that, he took out a water bladder and poured water all over the ground, covering the water stains under the healer's body.
In his words, Emperor Qi seemed to have expected that there would be a robbery of the medicine warehouse by the Liang people, and he was a little annoyed, so he extinguished the lights with a flick of his big hand, put away his baggage, and turned around to leave.
Su Huihui looked at him half of his body and went out, reacted and asked, "What happened to the Queen Mother!"
Her voice was sad, and the Assassin knew that she was concerned about her grandmother, and couldn't help but look back:
"The name of the county lord is still on the jade, and His Highness has not been able to erase it, as he has seen with his own eyes. β
Su Hui was stunned for a moment, at this moment the assassin had already jumped into the rain curtain and disappeared with a snap of his fingers.
Who asked him this!
The tip of her nose was a little sour, and she didn't know if her grandmother's body was well. She inherited her grandmother's property, and was blessed by her to stay away from the muddy waters of Mingdu, if it weren't for such a support, according to Yuwen's character that even Emperor Liang dared to move, she might have accompanied her parents to the underground now.
Su Huihui remembered very well that when she went to Yuxiao Mountain with her master, her mother-in-law told her that there was no such person in the world as Zhuyi, and she would never come back with peace of mind, because that place was not good, and she would live there, and she would never be happy like her parents and ancestors.
For the affairs of Mingdu, she has done her best. Qin Yu didn't hide it from her because Yuwen collaborated with the enemy to force her parents to death, and she really didn't want to see people who used countless lives to consolidate their high positions live comfortably, so she might as well push the boat down the river and help them once, only this once. I just hope that Yu Linwei won't find her here.
Su Huihui looked around the house, saw nothing special, and walked out of the house to the porch to see, this is good on a rainy day, everything can be hidden in the rain.
The two medical officers were guessing what the doctor who was called by the hospital was guilty, and the door was kicked open unexpectedly, and the court judge outside the threshold shouted: "This official has waited for so long, what about the others?"
The doctors hesitated, "Didn't you go to the adult's room earlier?"
Su Hui paused and said: "Forget it, maybe it's because the official wants to blame him, slip away as soon as possible, and I will definitely find him out tomorrow." You sit down well, and Yu Linwei will come to ask in a while, and then you will tell the truth. β
The slanting rain washed the corridors, the thunder was faint, and the lightning was less frequent.
Excessive tension is followed by endless exhaustion.
She finally got the aftermath of the incident lamely, walked slowly to the cupboard, absentmindedly took off her outer robe, and took out the rabbit-skin cloak with a standing collar and wrapped it around her body. Fortunately, I won't be on duty tomorrow, and I don't care if I get caught in the cold, and it's always good to lie down for seven days. Thinking about Sheng Yunyi, it seemed that he was going to wipe out all the assassins who broke into the palace, and his birthday was really lively...... Her mind was in a mess, and she took a sip of her cool tea, her forehead resting on the edge of her desk, not wanting to move at all.
No matter how she covered her limbs, she curled up in her chair and stared at the leak, and when it was over, she could go home, and what was waiting for her was seven days without having to light, and not having to think about those troubles.
Listening to the sound of talking on the corridor, Su Huihui knew that Yu Linwei had found out that the duty station was coming, and calmly waited for someone to interrogate.
It stands to reason that she called the medical officer to report, and Yu Linwei should first investigate her, but there has been no movement until now, did she already know that something would happen to the medicine store?
Tuk, tuk, tuk, the door was knocked three times.
Su warmly tightened his cloak, slowly walked to the door, took a deep breath and opened the door.
Yu Linwei, who looked like a school captain, clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "The court sentenced someone to report an accident in the medicine store, and when I went to see it, it was a mess, and a lot of medicinal materials were lost, a total of three people were killed, and one person was missing, can the court judge tell me in detail about the situation?"
A few more Yu Lin guards entered the house to search, the space here is small, the layout is extremely simple, Su Hui let them pac to the Seven Star Chest of Drawers and bookshelves and looked around, Fang said:
"Just after Shen Shi, I was practicing acupuncture in the house, when suddenly a doctor on duty at the medicine depot came to me and said to me that because of the heavy rain in the day, Wang Tijian was afraid that the medicinal materials would be damp, so he asked me to identify and pick them and move them out of the medicine store. When I saw that the healer was very cold, I let him rest at the duty station, and went alone, but when I got there, I found that the eunuch who was guarding the gate was dead, and I thought that something had happened inside, so I came back at once and told the medics to inform you. Then I remembered the healer who told me what was going on, and asked him to come to my room to tell me what was going on, but I didn't see him come after waiting for a long time, so I went next door and asked...... As a result, my subordinate said that he had already gone out. The rain was so heavy and the walls were so thick that I couldn't hear the specific movement outside. β
The lieutenant said: "That is, this person escaped death, and was ordered by the assassin to ask the court to go to the medicine store?" He didn't expect the adults to come back......" He paused, "There is a lot of offense, don't be careful." The adults caught him for questioning, but he was weak in heart, so he ran away?"
Su Hui said: "But he escaped from the first day of junior high and couldn't escape the fifteenth, everyone will know that he is acting strangely, and it has ......a lot to do with the theft."
The lieutenant smiled, "Your Excellency, think about what else you saw in the medicine storehouse." β
Su Huihui's heart sank, and he understood that he didn't believe a large part of his statement.
She quickly turned her mind, sneezed in disguise, and was about to speak, but she heard a loud voice outside:
"The missing Tai Hospital medical officer has been found!"
The lieutenant glanced back, and immediately said briefly: "The court judge should pay attention to keeping warm, go and have a look first, and come back later." β
Su Huihui suppressed his joy and nodded, "There is Lord Lao." β
The captain didn't dare to be an adult, so he bowed and saluted and left with everyone.
She was the only one left in the room, and the sleepiness was even more turbulent, but she had to figure out how to deal with it. The healer tricked her away, and she swaggered back unharmed, which in itself was the biggest suspicion. She regretted that she had made such a big mistake in her speech, and her brain was not as good as it used to be when she was drenched...... She immediately took out some ginger and mother-of-pearl almonds from the medicine cabinet, and planned to go to the small kitchen to fry a pair of apricots for herself, and then take care of it when she was sober.
She carried the medicine bag, the umbrella had been lost, and hesitated for a while, wanting to call the healer to help her with this trivial task, but she pulled her cloak and went out into the corridor, and took the umbrella they had left at the door of the room and went alone. She was accustomed to decocting her own medicine, and for ten years it had become almost a rigid principle.
Su Huihui walked halfway, and met a few people from Yu Linwei along the way, and after explaining their intentions, they didn't stop them, maybe they didn't follow the captain, otherwise they should have ordered her to stay in the room. The lieutenant didn't trust her, but he didn't stay on duty...... She always felt strange.
The thunder gradually stopped, the rain became lighter, and the wind still howled over the treetops with a loud bang. A small group of people appeared in front of the dense rain curtain, coming from the path to the east.
Su Huihui stopped under the tree, looked at the past with a misty look, and saw that the person at the head was in a black robe with wide sleeves, with an outstanding posture, holding a red oil silk umbrella, with auspicious clouds curling on the umbrella surface, and peach blossoms burning, as if it was about to open into the rain.
As the man approached, she saw his brows and eyes, and unconsciously wanted to hide behind the tree.
It is Qi Emperor Sheng Yunyi.
Su Huihui couldn't move a minute, standing like a log, his heart beating like a drum.
Why did he come! The banquet was only halfway open, and he borrowed the umbrella of a first- or second-rank official to come out to breathe? Or the assassin who had captured him in the palace? But he really didn't need to arrest people himself!
ββ¦β¦ Today's guards seem to be loose, but in fact they are like catching turtles in an urn. The secret guard's words echoed in her ears, she was not the turtle who collaborated with the enemy and guarded the theft, and collided with the owner of the stolen things!
When you go out today, you should really take a closer look at the yellow calendar...... Su Hui's nose was itchy, and he covered his face with his sleeve and sneezed three times in a row.
Such a loss of etiquette.
Behind Sheng Yunyi, Ji Wei said with concern: "Lord Su is unwell, where are you going? He was grateful to the hospital for his treatment, and his tone was very gentle.
Sheng Yunyi's sharp eyes swept over his overly attentive mouth, and Ji Wei stood up straight.
It seems that the Commander is still a solid-eyed man.
He looked at the person a few feet away, her hand holding the handle of the umbrella in a daze, and the ivory-white cloak spread out, revealing the soaked snow-green middle coat inside, clinging to a delicate figure. The hem of her cloak was sucking in water, and her knees seemed to be pulled down by the weight, and she was about to kneel on the cold, rough stone bricks.
Sheng Yunyi said lightly: "The court will exempt you from the court, and you will go to the duty office with me." Commander Ji sent someone to judge the decoction for the hospital. β
Ji Wei took the medicine bag that Su Hui was holding in his left hand, "Master Su, don't worry, I will send it to the adult's room as soon as it is fried later, it won't be cold." β
Su Hui smiled at him: "Thank you for the commander." β
The four or five people took a big step, Su Huihui barely followed, wiped the water droplets from his face, changed to holding an umbrella in one hand, and covered his mouth with the other hand and breathed.
Ji Wei said: "Why do you have to do everything yourself, just call a guard to go." β
Where are the guards? The subordinates were all in the room and were not allowed to come out under her orders, and she could not make any more demands on them.
After a twist and turn path, you will arrive at the value station in the blink of an eye.
Su Huihui now knew where the guards in the commander's mouth were coming, because as soon as he stepped on the steps, a Yulin guard came out of the doctor's room. There was still a guard in charge of the search left in the duty station! She should have thought that the duty center would be guarded!
Yu Linwei looked at her for a moment, and she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
At this time, Sheng Yunyi in front of him suddenly whispered: "Su Yuan judged, I lost something." β
Su Huihui tried to restrain his weak state of mind in his sword-like momentum, he was so close to her, and this was said to her by name. Of course she knew that he had lost more than one herb, but what he said was the same.
Sheng Yunyi turned sideways slightly, stared at Su Hui's calm eyes, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, but his eyes were cooler than the autumn rain.
"Temperate, return to the heart and lungs, detoxify pyretic, and strengthen the foundation. β
His gorgeous voice was extremely confusing, but every word was like a thunderbolt, slashing into Su Huihui's ears that were still prepared.
She knew she couldn't escape today.
