Chapter 23 Finding the Cause of Poisoning
When Moyu and I entered, there was a strong fragrance in front of me, and I couldn't help frowning and said, "Jade, what kind of smell is this?" ”
Jade replied: "Because the master always can't sleep well, the slave and maid light the incense, so that the master can have a good rest!" ”
When I walked to Zhongli's bed, I was almost startled, I really didn't expect that at this moment, such a beautiful person, lying on the bed, his face was yellow, his eyes were closed, and his brows were tightly wrinkled together. It seemed that she must be very sad, and there was a sour feeling in my heart, so I couldn't help but hold her hand and call softly: "Sister, I'm Xiangjun, I'm coming to see you!" ”
After a few calls, Zhong Lili opened his eyes slightly, and the bottom of his eyes was full of chaos, where was there any of the previous ones?
After she saw it clearly, the corners of her mouth barely pulled a smile, "Xiangjun, how could it be you?" It can't be that I'm dreaming again, right? ”
"No, sister, you're not dreaming! Is it really me, can you sit up? Let's talk together! "If you want to know more clearly, I'm afraid you can only ask Zhong Lili himself!
Although Zhong Lili's body was a little weak, she still looked slightly better, she nodded, and Jade hurriedly stuffed a cushion behind her and helped her sit up.
She coughed softly a few times and sighed, "I don't know what's going on, I always feel weak." Recently, I have been having a fever, and I have been repeated, and I have invited a few doctors to come, but it has not improved! ”
Just as I was about to ask her some details again, I heard Mo Yu say on the side: "Girl, there is something wrong with the smell in this room!" ”
I looked up and saw that Moyu's brows were tightly furrowed, she had been in the palace for many years and was more sensitive to some unusual things. At that moment, I asked, "What do you say, what's wrong?" ”
After Mo Yu sniffed carefully, she replied: "When I came in, the girl also smelled that unusual smell, and after asking carefully, I found out that it was emitted by the incense, but the slave always felt that the smell was strange!" ”
After she said this, Zhong Lili and I glanced at each other, and Zhong Lili immediately turned his head to the jade beside him and said, "Go and extinguish the incense!" ”
Jade hurriedly took the teacup that was set aside and "hula" it to extinguish all the soothing incense.
I hurriedly instructed Jade again: "Now that it's not cold, you can open the window and let the inside of this room breathe, so that the smell of this soothing incense can dissipate as soon as possible!" ”
Jade no longer hesitated, and hurriedly opened the window, and the fresh air outside gradually replaced the fragrance of the room inside. Probably absorbing some fresh air, Zhong Lili's expression improved a little, she stretched out her slender fingers and slowly pinched her eyebrows, and said, "I feel much better now!" ”
Looking at her haggard look, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, reached out to hold her cold hand, and said slowly: "Sister must have suffered these days, I don't know if the prince has come to see you?" ”
Zhong Lili showed a slight smile on his pale face, and said, "The prince has also been here a few times, but my body is not good, and he is very anxious when he looks at it. I have seen a doctor a few times, but it has not improved. ”
At this moment, I didn't know what to say. We are all women of King Jin, neither she nor I can get rid of the fetters of this fate. Yes, I could only smile indifferently, "It's good to have seen it, it shows that the prince still has a sister in his heart!" ”
I was about to tell her that if she is tired, she should rest and rest, as long as she finds the pathogen, it will be easy to say! But before I could speak, she suddenly had a splitting headache, and grabbed my arm tightly, almost breaking my arm. But at this moment, I didn't care about these at all, and hurriedly said to Mo Yu: "Catch her quickly, don't let her hurt herself!" ”
After all, Moyu has practiced martial arts, so it is not a problem to subdue Zhong Lili. When she and Jade subdued Zhongli at the same time, I hurriedly took out a small requiem from the pocket I was carrying with me and brought it to her nose. After a moment, she fell silent.
I exhaled slowly, and then nervous again, the requiem incense had been extinguished, and the air in the room was fresh, why was she still like this?
At this time, it occurred to me that maybe the root of this was not in the requiem incense. Suddenly, I felt a chill in my back, could it be that the culprit was still hidden?
After thinking about it like this, I immediately said to Moyu and Jade: "You two are here to take care of Madame, I'll go out and come back!" ”
Moyu and Jade nodded, and I hurriedly walked out of the dormitory with the hem of my skirt. After about a quarter of an hour outside, I turned back and found that there was still a strange scent. This is too incredible, isn't the requiem incense already extinguished? After so long, the smell should also dissipate.
I closed my eyes, carefully searched for the direction from which the scent came from, and relied on my sense of smell to find the source of the scent. At this time, I stopped next to a large pillar, opened my eyes, and said quietly: "That's right, this is it, and the fragrance comes from here!" ”
When Mo Yu heard me say this, she let go of Zhong Lili, walked up to me, pulled out the silver hairpin on her sideburns, picked some powder on the pillar, put it on the end of her nose and smelled it, and then confirmed: "Girl, that's right, the fragrance comes from here!" The smell is very faint, and it is masked by the smell of requiem, so it is not noticeable for a while. It's just that if you smell too much of this fragrance, it will make people hallucinate, and over time, the damage to the human body will gradually increase, until the whole person is described as haggard, until the spirit breaks down and dies! ”
Although I already had some understanding of this kind of thing when I was with the Queen Mother before, when I actually came into contact, I still couldn't help but shiver. Who is it that wants to kill Zhongli like this?
Jade had never experienced this, after she heard Mo Yu say this, her face was already full of panic, she hurriedly grabbed the hem of my skirt, knelt on the ground, and cried bitterly: "Girl, you must save my wife!" In this palace, Madame has no one to rely on! ”
Before I could say anything, Mo Yu had already helped Jade up next to him and said, "What kind of stupid thing are you talking about?" The girl has no position, how can she help the lady? Hurry up! ”
