Central Plains Chapter 22 Witch King Wu Chung hated because of love
It is rumored in the palace that the eldest princess of the imperial capital, Xiu Yunjin, was frightened by drowning when she was thirteen years old, crying and making trouble for three days, and the demons and ghosts were tormented, and the witch doctor and warlock were helpless about it. After that, he fell ill, and when he was cold, he declined, and he was difficult to treat for a long time.
After this winter, the eldest princess's condition became more serious, and her delicate body lay on the bed, her life hanging by a thread, and she watched her fragrance disappear.
In the inner hall of the Chaoyang Palace, the room covered by the curtain layer by layer was extremely depressing, and only a little light could be faintly revealed, like a glimmer of hope for the dying man.
The bitter smell of Chinese herbs filled the room, and everyone who smelled it was like eating Coptis chinensis, and there was a coughing sound in the inner sanctum with panicked footsteps.
Days like this have been going on for a long time, and it's been six years since she fell into the water.
But looking at the people on the bed, their faces were yellow, and Yin Tang was black, and their faces were full of musty. The delicate woman on the bed had chapped lips and a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth, like a dying man.
The people inside and outside the hall were busy, decocting medicines, putting them cold, sending medicines, and pouring bowls and bowls into the mouths of the people on the bed, although it was extremely bitter, it was life-saving medicine.
"Princess, it's the last bowl, you won't feel bad after drinking it."
The female official mother-in-law next to her held the bowl in her right hand, and supported the delicate and weak person on the bed on her left shoulder, and poured tears into her mouth with tears in her eyes.
This is the delicate princess she has been serving since she was a child, I thought she would grow up innocently, but she never thought that she fell into the lake in the cold winter and fell into a strange disease, which could not be cured.
If it weren't for his noble status, the superb medical skills of the Chinese medicine would have died a long time ago.
The female official's mother-in-law flattened her, and when she saw her regain her composure, she sent her subordinates away and watched by the side. Stretched out his sleeve and dipped the tears in the corners of his eyes, and regained his composure.
The person on the bed gradually relaxed, breathing slightly, and sleeping comfortably with his chest.
The female official and mother-in-law watched by the side, praying in her heart for the protection of the gods.
There was only a 'poof' sound, and the red blood spat all over the ground, and before the woman could react, the princess fainted in pain, and her hands fell to the ground.
"Princess!"
"Quick! Passing on the Chinese medicine! ”
The eldest princess vomited blood and fainted, and the Chaoyang Palace fell into chaos again.
Xiu Yuzhen was still on the way to Luanhuang Hall when she saw the Chinese doctor walking in a hurry.
When the old minister of the Chinese doctor in brown clothes saw Xiu Yuzhen, he hurriedly curtfell and saluted.
"Empress Jin An!"
"What happened to the Chinese doctor's hurry?"
Before I could tell the empress about this, I met him halfway.
The Chinese doctor, who knelt on the side of the palace road, replied.
"The eldest princess suddenly vomited blood and fainted, and the situation was urgent."
"What?! Follow me to the Chaoyang Palace. ”
As soon as I heard that it was the eldest princess Yunjin who vomited blood and fainted, then what else did she go to Luanhuang Hall to find her ex-husband with big pig's trotters, of course, it was important to her daughter, so she turned around and hurried to the direction of Chaoyang Hall to take a look.
The Chaoyang Hall was filthy and depressing, lifeless and lifeless.
The eldest princess Xiuyun brocade was lying on the bed with a bloodless face, her breathing was weak, if she didn't carefully observe the faintly undulating chest, she really thought that the person was out of breath.
"The eldest princess has a weak vein, and the day is precarious. The old minister is incompetent, and I'm afraid that there is no way to return to heaven after the matter has come to this point. ”
The national doctor knelt on the ground in shame and waited for the empress's punishment, and at the same time felt embarrassed for the little princess who was about to die.
Xiu Yuzhen looked at the person on the bed, she was only sixteen or seventeen years old and was suffering from illness, she was powerful as an empress, but she had no way to face her sick daughter.
She felt that the room was dark and suffocating, and she looked at the person on the bed with a pair of eyes, and lovingly stretched out her hand to caress the pale little face, and one hand still grasped the skinny little hand tightly.
She has been living in this kind of place for such a long time, and she has suffered physically and mentally, which is really bitter for her. Could it be that God was really so cruel as to take away her daughter?
"Is there anything else that can be done?"
Xiu Yuzhen couldn't make that difficult decision after all, she didn't want her daughter to die. Xiu Yunjin was also completed like this because of his own negligence. If she really went, then Xiu Yuzhen would blame herself for guilt in this life, and she would have trouble sleeping.
The national doctor knelt on the ground and was silent, his face was embarrassed, and he stopped talking, as if he had something to say, but he didn't dare to say it.
"If the Chinese doctor has something to say, just open his mouth."
"There is only one way to do this... With Gu. ”
The Chinese doctor lowered his voice, as if he was saying something unspeakable and unsightly.
In the Central Plains, seeking medical treatment has always been a bright road, looking and hearing, asking questions, and traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy. In their eyes, Miao Jiang's ruthless and shady things can't be put on the line.
Moreover, the witch Gu is a family inheritance, and the foreign clan does not know it, only its name.
"Use Gu?"
Xiu Yuzhen asked, and the Chinese doctor explained.
"There is a kind of witch Gu in Miao Jiang that can reinvigorate the sick and restore the dead."
"It doesn't have any side effects?"
"The Golden Silkworm Gu is from Miao Jiang, and it is the most poisonous in the world. The eldest princess is sick precisely because she was poisoned by Gu, if she finds it, and the Gu is to fight poison with poison, I believe that the eldest princess's illness will be solved.
It's just that witch Gu varies from person to person, some people die because of this, and some people live for a hundred years without illness or disaster. ”
Xiu Yuzhen looked at the person lying on the bed in such pain, although the Golden Silkworm Gu was risky, it was better to block it, death was a catastrophe, but to survive was to escape from death, and the future was worry-free.
"Can the Chinese medicine have a golden silkworm Gu?"
"Shuchen is incompetent, this Golden Silkworm Gu Weichen has only seen it in medical books, but I remember that Lord Wu Chung is from Miaojiang, he should know better than Lao Chen, but it's a pity that Lord Wu Chung disappeared more than ten years ago. Empress, I'm afraid the eldest princess's illness can't be delayed. ”
The old minister of the national doctor knelt on the ground, and hesitated before mentioning the person.
"Wu Song... Witch King Wu Chung..."
Empress Xiu Yuzhen narrowed her phoenix eyes, and her heart was full of thoughts.
I can't help but feel that I can't imagine that I am in charge of thousands of powers, and I will eventually fall to the point of begging him.
It's really feng shui in turn...
Thirteen years ago, the ceremony was not completed due to Luo Qinghe's arson and escape.
Xiu Yuzhen was angry and imprisoned the witch king Wu Song, and since then, the person about Wu Song has disappeared from people's eyes.
The empress issued a secret order to imprison Wu Chung in the confinement room, and used the thousand-year-old dark iron to bind his ankles so that he could not resist. During this period, he was forced to develop medicine for himself to control his condition.
In the past ten years, I don't seem to have visited him much recently.
"You take care of it here, and you must take good care of the eldest princess."
The dark and damp confinement room is full of bottles and cans, and the walls are crawling with centipedes, spiders, scorpions, poisonous snakes...
A ragged man stepped out of the shadows into the light, the shackles under his feet making a crisp sound.
He was originally the imprisoned witch king Wu Chung.
The dirty and embarrassed man's face was full of dirty stains, and his eyes were bright and terrifying, like a torch of anger burning the two of them.
An eerie sneer came out of his mouth, and he slapped the iron pillar on it, and the chains in his hands collided with each other with a clanging sound.
There was a sour smell from his body, and it was stinky, almost making Xiu Yuzhen, who was separated by the iron pillar railing, vomit.
"You really have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and you want the Golden Silkworm Gu? Do you think it's that easy? ”
He hated the arrogant and luxurious woman in front of him, if it weren't for her "beauty" trap back then, he would not have been able to get to this point.
He was really young and vigorous back then, and he stood on the opposite side of his brother for the sake of a smile on his face, regardless of his opposition, and went to the imperial capital and his relatives alone, and in the end he was exhausted, lost his freedom, lost the protection of his family, and became the biggest loser.
"What do you want?"
"I've been imprisoned by you for so many years, and I've been researching poison and Gu for you, now I'm trying to change you?"
There was a sharp light like a poisonous snake in his eyes, and it was so deep that it made people tremble with fear.
Wu Chung was eager to eat her flesh raw, pump her tendons, and pick her skin through the stone and iron railings to see what kind of heart was under this beautiful skin.
"Dreaming!"
She felt humiliated, and turned around to leave.
"Heheheha, so angry? As an empress, you have such a big heart? ”
Xiu Yuzhen was unwilling to be humiliated like this, but after thinking that her daughter was still lying on the bed waiting for her to save her, she turned around and continued to look at him and asked.
"Open a condition, how can I give me the Golden Silkworm Gu?"
Wu Chung has been here for more than a day or two, so he doesn't care about the time at all, it's not that he is not in a hurry, but he has to sharpen the other party's patience, and then achieve his own wishes.
He wants to use this opportunity to clean her up and relieve the hatred in his heart.
For today's situation, he had already planned to leave a way back for himself, and the eldest princess Xiu Yunjin was one of his pawns.
He knew that sooner or later, Xiu Yuzhen would beg him because of her, and it was only a matter of time, so he was willing to wait.
People, we should take a long-term view, and never go all the way to the dark.
There are still three caves in the cunning rabbit, and Wu Chung is willing to come here alone, also because he has a trump card in his hand.
"I'm not in a hurry, but I'm afraid some people won't be able to wait. You are so anxious, presumably the eldest princess is now hanging by a thread, and she is in danger. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Xiu Yuzhen suddenly had a bad idea in her heart, could it be that Princess Yunjin's illness was caused by him. How so?
"Don't hide it from the empress, I know that I will have such a day. How is it possible for a man to prepare only one path for himself? So I have long left myself a way back.
Well...... It was a long, long time ago, so long ago that I can't remember when. I only remember the day I was humiliated by you in front of all the courtiers, and I was put in confinement on charges of indiscriminately.
I still remember that not long ago, I handed Xiao Yunjin a pair of crickets, and forgot to mention that the crickets were poisonous. Toxicity can be latent into a person's body with exposure.
I think that now the toxicity has accumulated too much and has begun to eat the main body, and it is estimated that Xiao Yunjin will also be unable to survive due to coughing up too much blood and organ failure. Hahaha..."
Wu Chung held back for so long and finally said it. He has been imprisoned for so many years, he has not seen the light of day, he has only poisonous insects as his companions, and even the lowly people who deliver food refuse to look up at him. Whether it was or now, all of this is thanks to her cultivation of Yuzhen. Of course he was going to torture her, to torture everyone around her.
"Crazy! You're a lunatic! ”
Xiu Yuzhen was angry with him and retreated, she didn't expect Wu Chung to bear to attack a six or seven-year-old girl.
