Chapter 168: Secret Medicine
On the penultimate day of the month, ask for pink.
β¦β¦
Ji Xiaotang saw that the peony was restrained, so he didn't pay attention to her, and hurriedly stepped forward to see Second Mrs. Ji and Changsheng.
"Mother, are you okay. Changsheng is okay, right? Ji Xiaotang asked hurriedly, while tidying up the placket of Mrs. Ji's clothes.
Mrs. Ji Er was just torn off her clothes, her face was white, but she was not injured when she looked at it. As for immortality, she is well protected.
Mrs. Ji Er was busy sitting up straight, and took Changsheng back into her arms to check. Don't look at her just protecting Changsheng, she has so much strength when she fights the peony, and when she holds Changsheng at this time, her hands tremble a little.
Mrs. Ji Er is nervous and afraid.
"Mother, it's okay. You see, immortality is also good. Ji Xiaotang hurriedly shook the hand of Second Mrs. Ji and used his immortality to divert Second Mrs. Ji's attention.
Fang Cai's qiΔ happened too quickly, and Changsheng was still young, and he hadn't reacted to what was going on. But he had already infected the house at this time, especially Mrs. Ji's affection.
Changsheng pursed his small mouth and pouted, his big eyes flickered and looked around, very aggrieved.
If this is not coaxed quickly, Changsheng will definitely cry in the future.
"Mother, don't scare Changsheng." Ji Xiaotang reminded Mrs. Ji.
"Immortality, mother's immortality." Second Mrs. Ji came back to her senses, she originally wanted to show calm and appease Changsheng according to what Ji Xiaotang said, but she didn't do it.
Mrs. Ji Er hugged Changsheng tightly into her arms and cried loudly.
At this time, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside. Immediately after the curtain was raised, Master Ji Er strode in. Immediately behind the second master Ji was the third master who also got the news.
"What's going on?" See what's going on inside the house. Both brothers were surprised.
Second Master Ji went straight to Mrs. Ji and hugged Mrs. Ji and Changsheng into the crook of his arm.
Seeing that Master Ji Er was coming, Mrs. Ji Er cried more and more. Changsheng also cried at this time.
Seeing this, Ji Xiaotang stopped stepping forward, she called Jin'er to come and ordered like this.
Here, Mrs. Ji Er and Changsheng were still crying, and there were footsteps outside.
Old Lady Ji's people haven't arrived in the house yet. The voice came first.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
Second Master Ji was slightly stunned, and raised his eyes to look at Ji Xiaotang. Ji Xiaotang nodded lightly.
Ji Xiaotang asked the little girl to open the curtain. went out and helped Mrs. Ji in with Ji Xiaoyun.
Mrs. Ji Er and Changsheng were still crying.
"What is going on, this is going to kill me? Who made my grandson angry? Mrs. Ji was helped to sit on the couch, and the situation in the room made her confused and restless.
Mrs. Ji II was disheveled. I couldn't breathe when I cried with Changsheng. The peony she sent to deliver the clothes was pressed to the ground by several girls and couldn't move.
"Mother. Grandmother came. Ji Xiaotang reminded Second Mrs. Ji in a low voice, "Grandmother will be the master of immortality." β
Then, Ji Xiaotang lowered his voice and persuaded Mrs. Ji to say a few words in her ear. Others may not know, but Ji Xiaotang understands. Mrs. Ji didn't cry like this, but she thought that Peony was Mrs. Ji's henchman, so she would be like this.
Will Mrs. Ji harm her own grandson, even if he was born to Mrs. Ji.
Ji Xiaotang instinctively didn't believe it. Mrs. Ji Er shouldn't believe it either. But the knot between her and Mrs. Ji is too heavy, and the grievances and resentments at this time are simply indescribable.
Ji Xiaotang also saw this clearly. I hurriedly sent someone to invite Mrs. Ji over.
The whole family arrived, and Mrs. Ji Er and Changsheng also stopped crying one after another. Ji Xiaotang told the story in detail.
ββ¦β¦ It was I who accidentally cut the belly pocket made by Peony for Changsheng, only to find out what was hidden inside, so Peony went to pinch Changsheng's neck. Fortunately, my mother stopped me with her own body. That's why Peony didn't plan to stop until she was restrained by the girls. β
"Mother and Changsheng were both frightened. β¦β¦ Originally, Changsheng fell asleep, but Peony said that his grandmother ordered him to see Changsheng. Who would have thought that Peony would want to die and live forever? β
"That's how it happened, and I asked my grandmother to make the decision for Changsheng." In the end, Ji Xiaotang saluted to Mrs. Ji and said solemnly.
The room was quiet, and everyone looked at Mrs. Ji.
Mrs. Ji's face turned red and white, she opened her mouth, and she didn't make a sound for a long time, just pointed at the peony with trembling fingers.
And they all went to see the peony.
Peony had been tied up at this time, and Second Master Ji called two sturdy mothers-in-law to guard her left and right. Peony was tied to her knees and could no longer struggle.
"You, don't you say it quickly, why do you want to harm Changsheng?" Master Ji San was short-tempered, and when he went up, he kicked Peony twice, and asked while asking.
Peony was kicked and shrunk into a ball, and she also regretted it a little at this time.
Peony regretted that she had not been able to calm down.
It's just that she found it in her belly pocket, and she can actually find an excuse. But what she thought at the time was that if she was discovered, if she couldn't succeed in harming Changsheng, she wouldn't be carried into the house by the person she was thinking about in eight sedan chairs. At that time, she was thinking about eight sedan chairs and immortality.
At that time, her hands were almost faster than her brain, and she went to pinch Changsheng.
In front of everyone's eyes, her intentions were so obvious that even if she was clever and clever, she couldn't find excuses to explain herself.
Peony simply clenched her teeth and didn't speak.
"Are youβAre you crazy?" Old Mrs. Ji breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and pointed at the peony and scolded.
Mrs. Ji's sentence can be regarded as an unintentional statement. But the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Mrs. Ji's words reminded Peony of the moment.
Peony suddenly began to howl, and a pair of eyes began to roll upward. She couldn't move her hands and feet, and if she wanted to pretend to be crazy, she could only do this.
Mrs. Ji was stunned.
Second Master Ji sighed.
Old Man Ji San was angry, and he stepped forward. kicked Peony a few more times. Master Ji San followed several martial arts masters to practice, and he could not be equated with ordinary teenagers who had no power to restrain chickens, and he was extremely ruthless in his heart.
Peony is not only harmful to longevity. is still using Mrs. Ji like this, Master Ji San can't help but be angry.
Peony didn't kick and screamed again and again, and when he opened his mouth, he spit out blood. This is being kicked by Master Ji San and hurting his internal organs.
Peony's face was like gold paper for a moment, but the idea of survival still supported her to continue to pretend to be crazy.
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything for the time being, the second master Ji ordered someone to take the peony down to watch it.
"Second brother. Leave it to me, and I'll be able to pry that's mouth open. Master Ji San said.
"Hmm." Second Master Ji nodded, and did not rush to send Third Master Ji to interrogate Peony. Instead, he asked Ji Xiaotang what he found in his belly pocket.
Ji Xiaotang went to see Mama Cheng.
Peony's intentions are indefensible, she just deliberately said that, that is, she didn't know what was in her belly pocket.
Mama Cheng had completely dismantled her belly pocket at this time. And the powder inside was carefully received in a box. At this time, I saw Ji Xiaotang looking at her. She walked over with her belly pocket and box.
ββ¦β¦ Xiaotang noticed that the peony was strange and took a belly pocket to show me. This belly pocket has a mezzanine and holds something inside. I deliberately sniffed it, and although the smell was so subtle that others might not be able to smell it, I could smell it. β
That's why she motioned for Ji Xiaotang to cut open her belly pocket.
"Do you know, what is this?" Second Master Ji was very polite to Mama Cheng.
"This is a kind of medicinal powder specially used to murder children, I didn't expect to see this kind of thing in the people." Mama Cheng said.
"Mamma means. What is this ......," Ji Xiaotang asked.
"If I'm right, this thing is still a recipe from the court of the previous dynasty." Mama Cheng said slowly.
"The former court?" Everyone couldn't help but be very puzzled.
How could there be such a prescription for assassinating children in the court? And things from the court of the former dynasty. How would Mama Cheng know.
Mama Cheng probably knew what everyone was wondering about, and she didn't hide it.
"The court of the former dynasty I am talking about is not the Great Song Dynasty, but the Great Yan. Lord Ji must know that after the lord of the Great Yan Kingdom occupied the Great Song Palace, it was passed on to the second generation, and although he accepted concubines, very few of the children born survived past one year. β
Second Master Ji nodded, proving that Mama Cheng was right.
Mama Cheng continued.
"At that time, I didn't know what the reason was, but it was said that Dayan's methods of destroying the Song royal family were too cruel, and this was God's retribution and punishment. Later, the Great Qin Taizu settled the world and captured an old eunuch in the Great Yan Palace. The eunuch told the secret in order to survive. β
The so-called secret is that the second generation of the lord of Dayan has a favorite concubine, this favorite concubine has a son, in order not to be robbed of favor, he has looked for such a prescription in many ways, but whenever someone in the palace gives birth to an heir, he secretly uses medicine, causing the child to die.
The eunuch told the secret and left the medicine.
Mama Cheng said that although she didn't know how to make this prescription, she had seen and recognized this prescription.
ββ¦β¦ When I smell this smell, I am a little suspicious, and if I look closely at the powder, there must be nothing wrong. Mama Cheng said.
"How did the children die after taking this medicine?" Master Ji San asked.
"The smell of this medicine is very weak, and it is difficult to find it as long as it is hidden in the sandwich of clothes. And it is very easy to penetrate, if it is inhaled by the child's skin, the child will have diarrhea and the medicine is useless. β
After listening to Mama Cheng, everyone couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Mrs. Ji Er hugged Changsheng even tighter.
Children are frail and have great difficulty standing down. And diarrhea is one of the major culprits of the premature death of a child at this age. There are a lot of children who have died in this way, and it is really difficult to detect the use of this method to assassinate children, and it is no wonder that in a place like the harem, so many people have been recruited, but the reason has not been revealed until after the death of the country.
"This bitch is damned!" Master Ji San said.
Peony is damned, however there is a more important question.
How can a peony get such a prescription? Who gave it to her? What is the reason for peony to harm immortality? Who is the black hand behind her! (To be continued......)
