255. Chapter 257: The Finale (2)

"What's going on? Why was Xi'er poisoned? Looking at that mouthful of black blood, Bai Li Yu was puzzled, Ru Xi had always used poison well, how could he poison himself?

"It's Su Qingyan's poison, she gave a piano to Xi'er, and there is a poison hidden on that piano, which is made of spices, just like ordinary spices, the aroma enters the body, and it will be poisoned over time."

"Jean?" Bai Liyu remembered that he once gave Su Qingyan a piano, could it be that Su Qingyan gave Ru Xi the one he sent? If this is the case, then he is the only one who can save Ru Xi.

When the piano is made, it absorbs the cold air, and when the cold air enters the piano, and then the specially developed sesame oil will form a highly toxic effect.

When he gave the piano to Su Qingyan, he explained that he was not allowed to wipe the piano with any sesame oil.

Unexpectedly, Su Qingyan actually used the piano he sent to hurt Ru Xi.

"You know?" Granny Qinghua said, "I have used poison to detoxify for decades, this poison has never been seen, and I can't develop an antidote for a while, if you know, it would be great." ”

"Not only do I know, but there is also an antidote, but it will take some time for the antidote to be planted."

"What medicine?" Granny Love Flower asked.

"Blood Poppy."

Mother-in-law Love Flower was shocked when she heard this, "Blood poppy? Is there really such a grass in the world? Legend has it that this grass feeds on human blood, and it takes three months from planting to flowering, and it is watered with blood every day, otherwise, it will wither. ”

"Yes, and besides, you can only suck the blood of one person at a time."

"For three months, if you suck the blood of one person every day, isn't that kind of grass a person worried about your life?"

Bai Li Yu nodded, "The Blood Poppy Grass will recognize the Lord and only save the people closest to the master." ”

"In this way, the closest people to Xi'er are you and me." Mother-in-law said, "My wife has lived for most of her life, and she is content, you tell me where the blood poppy is." ”

"The seniors are old, so it's up to me."

"Nope." Mother-in-law Qinghua couldn't refuse and said, "If something happens to you, how can Xi'er live alone?" ”

"If something happens to you, Xi'er will also be in pain."

Mother-in-law Qinghua smiled: "Without me, she will only suffer, without you, she lives like a walking corpse, don't say it anymore, I will decide this matter, you are still the king of a country, you must not have anything." ”

can't say that the mother-in-law of the love flower, Baili Yu can only respond for the time being, and then make plans when he returns to the capital.

Because Ru Xi was poisonous, Baili Yu was in a hurry, so he ordered someone to speed up the trip, and along the way, except for arriving at the inn after dark, no rest was allowed anywhere else.

When I returned to the capital of Qi Kingdom, it was half a month later.

Along the way, Granny Qinghua was afraid that Ru Xi's poison would attack again, so she helped her get a needle, and Ru Xi was in a coma until she returned to the palace and did not wake up until she returned to the palace.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that the couch was surrounded by people, all of whom were acquaintances who had been in the palace before.

When she woke up, everyone was busy asking questions.

"Xi'er, is there anything uncomfortable?"

The first to ask was the Empress Dowager, and then the Empress Dowager asked, "Are you hungry?" I asked people to prepare meals. ”

"Queen Mother, Xi'er has just woken up, let her rest first." Yuxiang smiled, and Concubine Yan also said, "Yes, I haven't had a good rest all the way." ”

"Good, good! Let's all go out first. The Empress Dowager smiled, "Let someone inform the emperor, and say that Xi'er has woken up." ”

Ru Xi was groggy, and a room full of people walked away in a blink of an eye.

Anyway, she didn't feel uncomfortable, she was just very hungry.

As soon as he was stunned, Baili Yu rushed over, still wearing court clothes, and at first glance, he rushed directly from the next court.

Ru Xi propped up her body and remembered, Bai Liyu hurriedly walked over to support her, "Lie down and rest first, if you need to tell the palace maid directly, I have been away from Beijing for so long, and I have just come back a little busy, and I will accompany you well after this while." ”

Ru Xi said thoughtfully: "State affairs are important, I won't get in the way." ”

In fact, not all of Baili Yu has to be busy with state affairs, but also blood poppy things.

Since returning to the palace last night, Mother-in-law Qinghua has been staying in the imperial garden to study the matter of blood poppy grass, Baili Yu ordered a place in the imperial garden to be fenced off, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and it is specially used to plant blood poppy grass.

After staying at Ru Xi's place for half an hour, watching her eat, Baili Yu went to the Imperial Garden.

Granny Love Flower was still there, sitting at a stone table with a small magnetic pot on it, and the plants in the pot were thin and small, and they looked like they were dying.

Seeing Baili Yu coming, Granny Qinghua hurriedly said: "This grass has sucked human blood, how long will it take to have suburban fruits?" ”

"I'll see you in the suburbs right away."

"Immediately?" Granny Love Flower looked left and right, and wondered, "Then why did I drip blood into the stems and leaves, but this grass didn't react at all." ”

Bai Li Yu took the blood poppy grass and studied it, there were still undried blood stains on the leaves, it stands to reason that he should not be so dying again.

After thinking about it, he asked, "Is your blood pure?" ”

Mother-in-law Qinghua smiled: "Those who use poison naturally have to test the poison, and the blood on my body is only afraid that it is more poisonous than poison." ”

I finished speaking. Then it suddenly dawned, "Is it because the blood on my body is poisonous?" So, this blood poppy didn't react at all? ”

Bai Li Yu said: "There is this possibility." As he spoke, he asked the guard to come over with a sword, and when the guard saw that Baili Yu was going to cut off his hand, he hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, you can't do it." ”

Bai Liyu waved his hand, "You all go down." ”

"This?" The two guards looked at each other, then silently retreated, and when they left the imperial garden, they immediately went to inform the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.

The long sword slashed through Bai Liyu's fingertips, and the blood dripped onto the stem of the blood poppy, and the originally dying herb immediately stretched its branches and leaves, and even the color became greener.

Granny Love Flower was surprised: "This medicine is really magical. ”

Baili Yu continued to drip, and the herbs were green from the stems to the leaves, so he held down the wound to stop the bleeding.

"Do you have to drop so much every time?"

"The stems of the blood poppy grass are dark red, and they will only turn green when they have absorbed enough human blood."

"My blood can't be used, Ru Xi's life will be in your hands." Mother-in-law Qinghua said, "I prescribe a prescription for blood nourishment, one in the morning and one in the evening, which can replenish the missing blood in your body." ”

"Thank you." Bai Li Yu moved the blood poppy grass aside to avoid direct sunlight, and as soon as he turned around, he saw the Empress Dowager rushing towards her surrounded by a group of people.

Looking at the two guards following behind him, Bai Liyu said in a low voice: "What a fuss." ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to be in trouble." Granny Loveflower said.

"Grandmother Huang, Queen Mother, why are you here?"

The Empress Dowager glanced at the mother-in-law of the love flower, then looked at the small basin resting in the corner, and said, "I heard the guards say, what kind of medicine do you want to use your own blood to raise?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Granny Love Flower again, "It must have been her idea, right?" ”

"Imperial grandmother, she is Xi'er's master."

"I know, but Xi'er is Xi'er, she is her." The Empress Dowager seems to dislike her mother-in-law very much.

Yuxiang followed behind, listened to the words of the Empress Dowager, and said loudly: "Queen Mother, Mother-in-law Qinghua is a good friend of Erchen, I believe that she must have her reasons for doing this." ”

Mother-in-law Qinghua quietly didn't say a word.

Bai Li Yu said: "Auntie, it's not that she wants to do this, but I want to do it." ”

"Why?" The Empress Dowager said, "As the king of a country, how can you joke with your own life? Raise plants with blood, but I am afraid that if we don't feed them, people will lose too much blood and die. ”

"Queen Mother, listen to what Yu'er has to say first." The Queen Mother persuaded.

Bai Liyu told him about saving Ru Xi.

The Empress Dowager is not an unkind person, if there is no Ru Xi, I am afraid that when the Concubine Yan family seeks to return, the country of Qi will already be in chaos, and she also wants to save Ru Xi.

However, let her promise Baili Yu to save Ru Xi, but she couldn't make this decision.

"Imperial Grandmother, I'll be fine."

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, how much blood can a person have? How can it eat? Is there no other way? It is better to use the blood of a hundred people than the blood of one. ”

Bai Li Yu made things clear, the Queen Mother is really in a dilemma, if according to what Bai Li Yu said, the blood poppy recognizes the master, then, except for the love flower mother-in-law, only Bai Li Yu can save her.

The Queen Mother saw that the Queen Mother was so embarrassed, and she didn't know what to say, her mind was similar to that of the Queen Mother.

I want to save Ru Xi, but I don't want Baili Yu to take risks.

While everyone was talking, no one noticed that in a place in the Imperial Garden, a figure was standing there, listening to everyone's conversation clearly.

"Let me think about it again." The Empress Dowager said.

Everyone was about to go back, when they saw a palace maid running over in a hurry, kneeling on the ground in a panic, and said, "Your Majesty, it's not good, Miss Xi'er is gone." ”

When Baili Yu heard this, he crossed the crowd and walked out of the imperial garden with light work.

The hall where Ru Xi lived was quiet, and the bedding on the couch was neatly folded, as if no one had ever lived there.

Everyone then rushed over, and saw Baili Yu sitting on the couch, looking at a place stunned.

"How's it going, have you found someone?" The Empress Dowager asked.

Bai Liyu shook her head, "I'm afraid that she already knows about the blood poppy, and I'm afraid that I will take risks to save her, so she won't say goodbye." ”

"There's a letter here." Yuxiang's eyes were sharp, and he caught a glimpse of a note pressed on the corner of the table.

Bai Liyu took it and unfolded it, it was Ru Xi's handwriting, and he made a few strokes.

"Life and death are fateful, I don't want you to risk it for me, please forgive me for not saying goodbye."

"What a silly girl." Mother-in-law Qinghua said, "Everyone, Xi'er has left, and it is inconvenient for my wife to stay for a long time, so don't leave it here, there will be a period later." ”

"Wait." Bai Liyu called out to Granny Qinghua, "If you see Xi'er, I hope my seniors can inform me." ”

"Don't worry, I have no children and no daughters in my life, and I have long regarded Xi'er as my biological daughter, so I naturally don't want to see her lose her life at a young age." Granny Loveflower said.

Previously, the Empress Dowager tried her best to react to Baili Yu's blood to nourish the blood poppy, but after Ru Xi made such a move, she didn't react anymore, and sighed: "It's all idiots, one is willing to face life and death alone in order not to let the other party take risks." ”
