Chapter Ninety-One: One Life for One Life
Xia Xiangguo made a quick decision, and after saying goodbye to his mother, he left Ruiyuan.
In the past few days, Xia Xiangguo has been asking for leave in the court for the sake of Yuzhu, and now he can be regarded as relieved, and he hurriedly went to the cabinet after leaving Ruiyuan, and the affairs of Zhuyuan were handed over to Xia Shaoyuan.
Leaving Mrs. Xiangguo and the old lady in a daze, they all looked at Chu Feifei, could it be that the master's actions still have any deep meaning? Just let this girl go to incense, is there any special arrangement?
In fact, Xiangguo is just looking for an excuse to not let his beloved wife and mother get involved in this matter. Since this incense can't be avoided, the more low-key the better. It's just that the two maids are a bit out of line, but if it's just to pray for a guest lady, it's reasonable.
Yuzhu was originally unpleasant, and her temperament was vicious, if it weren't for her identity, where would Xia Xiangguo be willing to spend time on her, but now that she knows the truth~ After the phase, she became more and more disgusted, and she didn't even want to see it.
Zhu Yuan,
Xia Shaoyuan and Zhang Shouyi stood in a remote corner room, with a white porcelain bowl on the table in front of them, and the bowl seemed to be a bowl of clear water, and a strange black liquid in it was like a black bead, suspended in a colorless liquid, slowly undulating with the water waves.
Xia Shaoyuan frowned: "This is what you call poison?" ”
Zhang Shouyi said: "My lord, please take a look." After that, Zhang Shouyi took out a silver needle from the needle bag he carried, stabbed it at the tip of his middle finger, forced out a drop of blood, and dripped it into the bowl.
As soon as the bright red blood beads entered the water, the black beads seemed to be alive, twisting, struggling, chasing after the bright red blood beads.
Due to the movement of the black water droplets, the water in the whole bowl also shook, as if someone had shaken the table, and the water became more and more agitated, and a few drops actually spilled out of the bowl.
Zhang Shouyi pulled Xia Shaoyuan back a step, and Xia Shaoyuan said in surprise: "That thing turned out to be a living thing?" ”
Zhang Shouyi said: "As far as I know, this is a unique Gu poison in Miaojiang, as for how it is made, it is a secret technique in Miaojiang, and it has never been used by outsiders for thousands of years." ”
At this time, the black water droplets have been stirred so that most of the water in the bowl spilled, and finally chased the bright red blood beads, pounced on it, the black liquid was like a big mouth, swallowed the blood beads in one bite, and after it was over, the black water droplets seemed to be satisfied, fell into a deep sleep, and quieted down.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Xia Shaoyuan felt that the size of the black water droplets seemed to be a little bigger.
The scene in front of him was a little too unbelievable, and Xia Shaoyuan was shocked: "Are you saying that someone deliberately poisoned Yuzhu with Miao Jiang?" "How can a little guest table lady need someone to make such a big move? Could it be that someone discovered Yuzhu's identity? Xia Shaoyuan's heart was shocked, this matter is not trivial, and he must let his father know immediately.
Thinking of this, Xia Shaoyuan turned around and was about to leave, but Zhang Shouyi stretched out his hand to stop Xia Shaoyuan: "Slow down, adult." ”
Xia Shaoyuan turned around and saw Zhang Shouyi take out a small cyan porcelain bottle from his arms, opened the stopper, and a strange stench immediately floated out inside.
Xia Shaoyuan couldn't help but sneeze and covered his nose: "What is this?" ”
"Your Excellency, please see." Zhang Shouyi smiled slightly, as if he had long been accustomed to the stench, he held the porcelain bottle without changing his face, and carefully dripped a drop of colorless liquid in the bowl, as if it was like a drop of ink in the water.
Xia Shaoyuan raised his eyebrows: "This is the antidote to restrain that Gu poison?" ”
Zhang Shouyi carefully put away the porcelain vase and said with a smile: "Yes, this is exactly the purification product refined from those medicinal materials in the recipe that the humble position said. ”
Xia Shaoyuan was overjoyed: "Since it has been confirmed to be effective, why don't you give Miss Cousin medicine immediately?" ”
Zhang Shouyi shook his head slightly: "My lord doesn't know, this drop of Gu poison is a silver needle used by a lowly officer, forcing some of the toxins to Miss Table's eyebrows, and then piercing the eyebrows and squeezing it out, looking at the concentration of the toxin, Miss Table's body, there should be a lot of Gu poison in this way." ”
Xia Shaoyuan thought of the greedy appearance of the Gu poison devouring blood, and his heart was cold, if such a toxin was in the human body, devouring blood to his heart's content, would this person still be alive?
Zhang Shouyi continued: "Although this recipe can remove the toxin, the adults can also see that the color of the water has also turned black, that is to say, the patient's blood is afraid that it will not be able to be used anymore." ”
Xia Shaoyuan stared at Zhang Shouyi, obviously he could understand every word, why didn't he understand what he meant? What does it mean that blood cannot be used? If it doesn't work, what else can you use?
Zhang Shouyi knew that his words were too shocking, so he bowed slightly and gave a salute: "Before I was humiliated, I didn't expect that the poison in Miss Biao would be so domineering, and she boldly proposed a prescription for using the medicine of the tiger and wolf, and asked the adults to forgive her sins." ”
Xia Shaoyuan froze and said slowly, "What do you mean?" ”
Zhang Shouyi's square face looked calm and cold, and he replied slowly: "The meaning of humility means that Miss Biao's disease must be cured, and it is also a life for a life, and whether it is cured or not, it is between the young master's thoughts." ”
"A life for a life?" Xia Shaoyuan froze for a moment, and suddenly sneered: "Miss Biao can't have an accident, it's okay to exchange one life for another, what do you say." ”
Zhang Shouyi's eyes flashed slightly, and there seemed to be a trace of disgust rolling in it, and after a while, he hid it again, and replied: "The humble position was occasionally taught by a senior master, and he knew a way to exchange blood. ”
Xia Shaoyuan gritted his teeth: "That's it." ”
Zhang Shouyi said again: "My lord, this matter can be described as going against the sky, against humanity, and must not be known to all the imperial doctors." ”
Xia Shaoyuan can understand this, the medical skills Zhang Shouyi said are already close to miracles, if they are known by those old scholars, if they don't believe it or not, I am afraid that they will be scolded to the point of blood, which will disgrace the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If he hadn't seen the weirdness of the Gu poison with his own eyes and the magic of the antidote, he wouldn't have believed Zhang Shouyi's words anyway.
It is really unethical to use human blood to treat diseases and exchange lives for lives, not only the imperial doctors of those gangs, but even their fathers can't let him know.
Xia Shaoyuan knew the importance of the princess of the previous dynasty to the great cause of restoring the old dynasty, and secretly gritted his teeth, even if he had to bear a lifetime of infamy and ruin his future from now on, he also admitted it.
Xia Shaoyuan had made up his mind, so he immediately went out to make arrangements, first respectfully sent the group of old doctors gathered in the front hall away, saying that there was no way for a while, Yuzhu's current condition is also stable, please go back and take a closer look, and then come to the house for a consultation in a few days.
sent away all the imperial doctors, and ordered the courtyard of the Pearl Garden to be sealed, and all the servants gathered in the side courtyard.
In the corner room, Zhang Shouyi looked at the strange bowl of black water on the table, and then looked at the servants who were gradually gathering in the courtyard, the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, and a strange light flashed in his eyes
