Chapter 38: Asking for Poison
Today's weather is fine, the winter sun is warm, and there is no snow, Twilight wants to stay away from the scholars in the garden, and she doesn't realize that she has entered the depths of the peach forest. The snow presses the peach branches, and a little spring powder rises in the melting snow, which is fragrant and lovely.
Twilight rarely has the mood of appreciating the scenery, go to the depths of the peach forest and see the shore of the lake, the lake is frozen, covered with snow, an arch bridge is erected on the lake, if the white rainbow flies across, leading people to the fairy. She looked at the high place of the arched bridge, thinking that there must be a wide view of the lake and forest at the high place, so she couldn't help but bypass the branches and go up the bridge.
Behind him, a voice came from behind, "Dudu." ”
The sound and wind and drizzle, like a clear spring in the mountain stream, the smell is refreshing.
Twilight turned around and saw Wu Jin standing outside the peach forest, with wide sleeves heading south with the wind, like a fairy outside the square.
"Lord Wang." Twilight gave Wu Jin a salute, glanced into the forest, and asked, "Is there something wrong with the prince?" ”
There were footprints left by her in the snow, and as soon as she walked with her front foot, Wu Jin's back foot appeared behind her, which was obviously not a coincidence.
"This king doesn't like this poetry meeting either, and when he saw the governor coming out, he also came out, and followed the footprints of the governor all the way, and I hope that the governor will not be strange in the abrupt place." Wu Jin said with a smile.
Twilight didn't expect him to be so frank and asked, "Since the prince doesn't like the poetry club, why did he come?" ”
Wu Jin looked at her and smiled: "Naturally, it is for the governor." ”
Twilight was stunned, she?
"This king is obsessed with medicine, and he is quite interested in the fake death that the governor said at the palace banquet, and then this king went out of the palace, and he has never heard the governor talk about it, I don't know if I can ask the governor to talk about this matter in detail?" Wu Jin asked.
When Dorje first had a poisonous attack, he also thought that Xu was suspended and faked, but unfortunately he was stopped by King Di Hu Yanhao and could not diagnose it himself. But because of this, he heard new insights, but unfortunately he couldn't finish listening to them, and he has been thinking about them these days, and he always wants to ask more carefully.
Seeing Wu Jin's sincere expression, Twilight Qing realized that she had met a doctor idiot. Although Wu Jin is the prince of Nantu, she doesn't see the royal habits on her body, and she has a good impression of him, so she bowed her head and said: "If the prince doesn't mind, let's talk while walking." ”
"Governor, please." Wu Jin gave way, and the two went up to the bridge together.
"The prince is a medical saint, he looks at the living, I am a man, I look at the dead, in my eyes, death is divided into three stages." Twilight Road.
It was the first time Wu Jin had heard that death was still a process, and he didn't bother Twilight, but only accompanied her to the bridge, listening as he went.
"The three phases are near-death, clinical death, and biological death." Twilight knew that these Wu Jin must have felt strange, but since she wanted to say it, she would not be blinded by him, and since he was a healer, since he was obsessed with medicine, a professional explanation might be more helpful to him.
"The NDE is the final stage of a person's struggle before death, and the hours can be long and short. For example, the skull or heart veins are damaged, and the near-death period is very short or none. In the case of asphyxiation, poisoning, or other injuries, the NDE may be long or short. For the same injuries, the NDE is longer for the young and able-bodied, and shorter for the elderly and infirm. ”
"People who are in the dying stage will develop clinical death if they are not treated in time. During this phase, the heart stops, breathing stops, and all kinds of reflexes disappear completely. On the surface, it seems that the person is dead, but there is also the possibility of resurrection, and this time is usually half an hour of tea, but if it is under low temperatures and other conditions, it can be extended to half an hour or more. It's just that the human brain's ability to tolerate hypoxia is usually only half an hour of tea, and beyond this hour, even if a person is saved, it will leave sequelae due to brain damage. ”
"The signs of biological death are the gradual coldness of the body, the occurrence of zombie mortis, the formation of corpse spots, this is the final stage of death, the development of this stage of the patient can no longer be resurrected, medical skills are no longer powerless."
Twilight said as she walked, and when she finished speaking, she and Wu Jin had already gone up to the top of the arch bridge. I saw the sky and the lake and the snow, the top and bottom were white, the sound of people and birds was overwhelming, only the peach forest on both sides of the strait was broken and red, and the style was thousands.
The wind is together, the snow on the lake is like waves, and Wu Jin's eyes are also waves, and the man who is as holy as a fairy finally has an earthly color in his eyes. He looked at Dusk Qing and asked, "This king's medical skills are a family tradition, and after reading all the medical books in the world, I have never heard what the governor said, and I don't know who the governor is from?" ”
"Family heirloom."
"That Ling Yan should be a master in the world."
Twilight didn't answer, just looked at the lake, and said after a while, "My father has passed away for more than half a year. ”
Wu Jin was stunned for a moment, then bowed apologetically to Dusk Qing, and said, "This king is abrupt, and he will forgive his sins." ”
Twilight shook her head and asked, "I heard that the prince knows a lot about toxicology, and I have something I want to ask the prince." ”
"Governor, excuse me."
"Does the prince know what poisonous bitter almond smells?" Although the culprit of killing her father is about to be investigated, she is very interested in toxicology, and there are high-ranking people around her, so she wastes the opportunity without asking. There is no end to learning, and only in this way will the inference be more accurate and faster if you encounter a person who has died of poisoning during the post-mortem examination in the future.
"Is the governor asking about the apricot ivy or the poisonous Yama?" Wu Jin asked.
Twilight turned her head to look at Wu Jin, "Both of these poisons have a bitter almond flavor?" ”
"Not two, but one." Wu Jin said with a smile, seeing that Du Qing was puzzled, he continued, "If the governor asks about the apricot ivy, this vine can only be found in the Nantu country, its juice can kill, only one drop, it is difficult for people and animals to live, but it has a strong smell of bitter almonds, unless it is mixed with almonds for food, it is extremely difficult to poison." ”
"What about the poisonous Yama?"
"The poisonous Yama is made by the king, taking the poison of the apricot ivy, and then mixing it with seven-flavor herbs, covering its smell, and putting it in the tea and food, it is difficult to taste."
Twilight's face turned cold, and she asked in a cold voice, "This poison is only available to the prince in the world?" ”
Wu Jin saw that Twilight's expression had changed, and knew that when she mentioned this poison, she was not just asking casually, that is, she had seen this poison elsewhere!
"Where did the Governor see this poison?" Wu Jin asked in a deep voice.
Twilight Qing didn't expect that someone like Wu Jin would also change his face, but seeing that his expression didn't seem to be fake, he said, "An He, the head of the inner court of Shengjing Palace, has this poison. ”
Wu Jin was stunned, holding on to the bridge, Qingjun's hand fell into the snow, and it was whiter than snow in an instant.
Anhe!
Seeing that his face was not good, Twilight Qing asked, "Does the prince have a grudge against this person?" ”
That being the case, it seems that it was not Wu Jin who gave the poison Yama to An He.
Wu Jin lowered his head and was silent, his black hair covered half of his face, and the snow in the gloomy place could not be seen, only to see the lake breeze blowing the black hair, and the gloom on the man's face flickered and darkened, like some dusty old humiliation that he did not want to touch again.
After a while, I heard him say: "The poisonous Yama was made by the king when he was a teenager, five years ago, the epidemic was introduced in Beijing, and many people were treated in the palace, and after the epidemic, it was found that there was less poison in the house, and one of them was the poisonous Yama. ”
At that time, the epidemic lasted for more than a month, and there were hundreds of people in and out of the house, and some of them were not from Shengjing. Since then, no one has been allowed to enter or leave the house at will, even those who are about to die are not allowed to enter the house for half a step.
"Why does the prince make drugs?" Twilight asked, since Wu Jin said that it was stolen poison, it meant that he never gave poison to people. That being the case, why is poison refining?
"It is the wish of this king to make all the strange poisons in the world and develop the antidote to the strange poisons in the world." Wu Jin looked at Twilight Qing and asked, "Why did the Governor ask about this poison?" ”
"My dad was poisoned." Twilight's eyes were cold.
Wu Jin met her gaze, the cold stabbed him in a daze, and then a pain appeared in his eyes, "This king once swore a heavy oath that he would not poison people in this life, but he would harm people in the end......"
Twilight Qing looked at him for a while, and when she saw that he was sincere, she said, "I don't blame the prince for this, it's the person who stole the medicine that is hateful." ”
She is not good at comforting people, and she is also messed up in her own heart, so she turned around and left. After a while, hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Wu Jin said, "The governor plans to go down the bridge?" If you go any further, it's ......."
Before he finished speaking, Twilight had stopped, and then he realized that he was so distraught that he had come to the bridge, and further on was the garden where the ladies of the clan gathered. Fortunately, Wu Jin reminded him in time, and there was a peach forest in front of him, so he didn't go there.
Twilight turned and walked back, and as soon as she took a step, she heard a faint voice from the peach grove behind her.
"Have you heard?"
"What did you hear?"
"The Anping Marquis Mansion sent to Jiangnan that year had a concubine, who got the grace of the Empress Dowager a few days ago and came back."
It was two girls who spoke, and when they heard the voice, they knew that they had sneaked out to gossip, and Twilight Qing was not interested in listening to these intrigues, but she suddenly stopped after hearing the Anping Marquis Mansion!
"The Empress Dowager doesn't like the Shen family, why does she have this will?"
"It is said that the Shen Mansion over there in the south of the Yangtze River has been robbed, and there is no elder in the house, and Miss Shen is weak again, and the old Fengjun of the Hou Mansion went to the palace to cry, and the Empress Dowager showed mercy and allowed her to return to Beijing to recuperate."
"She's weak? Scold! How can there be a daughter who is not weak, but I am afraid that the weak body is fake, and it is true to pretend to be weak and do those flattering things! At this time, I heard a girl's voice again, which sounded very sharp.
There were three people in the woods!
The two girls hurriedly asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
The girl said, "You don't know? The outer city can be spread, a few days ago when Miss Shen returned to Beijing, the carriage was stopped by the prince of Hengwang outside the Wangshan Tower, the Hou Ye was drinking tea in the Wangshan Tower, and after seeing it, he was stunned to splash the people of the Hengwang Mansion with tea, and relieved the siege for her. ”
"Is there such a thing? That...... What happened? Master Hou, he ......"
"Hou Ye is a hero, how can he look down on that fox!" The girl said angrily.
"Then does Lord Ning Zhao know about this?"
"Who knows, even if you know her, you don't need to be afraid of a Shen family girl, in the early years, when the Hou Ye was in the northwest border, the Empress Dowager and Mrs. Xiangye fell in love with her, who doesn't know that the position of Mrs. Hou Ye is hers?" The more the girl spoke, the more sour her her tone became.
"Yes, we are here to accompany the guests." The two girls sighed together.
Ning Zhaogui is the lord of the county, and his temperament pleases the Empress Dowager and Mrs. Xiangye, they can't fight, but a Marquis of Anping who has lost power is not afraid. The girl's resentment was all on the Shen family's daughter, and said: "Fortunately, that fox is interesting, and she didn't come to today's poetry meeting because she was sick, otherwise she would have seen it!" ”
"Is it a real illness or a fake illness?"
"Who knows, it is said that it is cold in Shengjing, and it is infected with wind cold. Hum! It's good to be sick and die! ”
The two girls looked at each other, if they were really sick, their bodies were really weak enough, and if they were not sick and pretended to be sick, then they were a little scheming. I am afraid that many people know about Hou Ye's rescue of her, it has only been a few days since the incident, and there are many people who are jealous.
"No, it's good that you don't die of illness." At this time, the girl changed her mouth again, and there was a smile in her voice, as if she was in a good mood again.
"Why?" The two girls were puzzled.
"Isn't there a holy decree to choose a concubine on the first day of the new year? Those of us who are reluctant to be sent to the palace at home, but the Anping Marquis Mansion is the best choice. The saint is desolate, if the daughter of the Shen family enters the palace......" The girl didn't say anything when she said this, and just laughed.
As soon as Twilight heard that Shen Wenyu had come to Shengjing, there was already frost on her face, but when she heard this, the frost became even thicker, and she turned around and looked at Wu Jin.
