Chapter 192: Luzon Tobacco
"Can the old gentleman put the 'wolf sand' here with me first?" No one could stop Zhu from looking at him urgently.
"Give it to the prince. This was brought back by the old man when he went to the Western Regions, and it was useless to the old man. Redstone said indifferently.
Zhu carefully wrapped it and put it in his arms: "Thank you, old man!" You live in the house now, and maybe there will be something you need to confirm in the future. ”
Zhu immediately sent two secret agents to infiltrate the Qin Wangfu and the Yan Wangfu with the most inconspicuous identities.
Although his main target was Zhu Di, the king of Yan, he did not let go of Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin.
Every few days, the secret agent would fly pigeons and send letters to Zhu to report the situation in the palace, mainly whether there were people from the Western Regions among the people who came and went with the palace.
One day a month later, Zhu sat sullenly in the hall as the secret letters of the spy slipped from his loose fingers to the ground.
For so long, nothing has progressed.
The people of the Western Regions seem to be hiding from Zhu's spies, not to mention the Qin Wangfu and the Yanwang Mansion, and even Xi'an and Beiping are rarely infested by the Western Regions.
Ever since he began to follow the path of deduction step by step, he has turned his reasoning into an unbreakable fact.
He was full of hope that he could find a little clue, his requirements were not high, as long as he found a figure from the Western Regions in the palace, or a letter from the Western Regions, he could determine the source of the wolf sand, uncover the murderer, and avenge the eldest brother.
But time and time again, the spies' rewards disappointed him.
Not only was it disappointed, but it also irritated him, and he even began to doubt the spy's loyalty.
The less he wanted to see it, the more it would appear on the secret documents of the spies.
For example, Zhu Di reduced taxes for the local people and was deeply loved by the people; Zhu Di was meritorious in the conquest and was rewarded by the emperor with 100 good horses; Zhu Di ordered his subordinates to develop a new type of firecracker, which has great lethality......
Zhu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't tell if he was bitter.
Who asked him to find out about Zhu Di?
His back tingled, and he held his head with his left hand, and rubbed his right hand around his back.
He felt a lump, like a bundle of thousands of needles tied together.
Those needles destroyed the mountains and the sea, exuding a fishy smell, and the yellow pus soaked through the clothes and stuck to Zhu Yi's hand, Zhu Yiqi lowered his right arm, and wiped his fingers twice on the side of the robe.
Hongshi walked into the hall and saw the dejected Zhu and asked, "Lord, why are you angry?" ”
"I don't know when my eldest brother's revenge will be avenged...... Ouch! ”
In a hurry, Zhu Yi's back was like an arrow, he snorted in pain, and almost rolled off the chair.
More pus popped out of the lumps, mixed with the smell of blood and decay.
"What's the matter, Lord Wang? What's uncomfortable? Hongshi walked quickly to Zhu's side and held Zhu's arm.
Without waiting for Zhu to answer, Hongshi saw the pool of blood on Zhu Qi's back.
"Lord Wang, the old man will take a look for you!" Redstone lifted the clothes from Zhu's back.
It was a carbuncle the size of a bowl, red and swollen, with pus gushing out from all directions, and the potholes looked like a field of rotten mud.
"Lord Wang, why didn't you say it earlier? It's been a month or two with this carbuncle, right? Redstone said in a reproachful tone.
"Sir, I'm ...... I don't have the heart to do that. Zhu was still thinking about his eldest brother.
"Lord Wang, you got this last month when you were in bed, right? If you drag it any longer, it will kill you! If you want to avenge the crown prince, you have to take care of yourself first! ”
Redstone took out a medicine bottle from his bosom and sprinkled the golden powder on Zhu Qi's carbuncle.
Princess Jin walked into the hall and exclaimed: "Lord Wang! Rajah! What's wrong with you? ”
Zhu bit his lip, and Princess Jin's screams rushed to his wound like a fire.
His face turned from red to white, from white to blue: "Get out!" ”
Princess Jin trembled, and in a panic, she moved her eyes to Hongshi and asked Hongshi for help.
"Lord Wang, don't be angry! The more vigorous the liver fire, the more difficult it is to heal the disease. Princess Jin is also so panicked because she is worried about you. It's just right, Princess Jin, the old man will talk to you. This bottle of medicine is handed over to you, and you can apply some to the prince every day, just a thin layer like this. ”
Redstone motioned for Princess Jin to come closer.
Princess Jin trembled and moved her steps, for fear of the wind from her dress and the sound of stepping on the ground to disturb Zhu again.
When she walked behind Zhu and saw the terrible wound, she tightly covered her mouth with her hand and blocked the screams that would bring her disaster.
"Princess Jin, don't be nervous." Redstone brought Princess Jin out of the predicament.
She put down her hand and swallowed hard: "Got it, old man, a thin layer...... Once a day......"
"Well, just apply it until the abscess is completely gone. This medicine is very effective, clearing heat and detoxifying, suppurating and ulcerating, invigorating blood and reducing swelling, and has an excellent effect on all carbuncles. That's right......" Hongshi stared intently at Princess Jin's face.
"Old gentleman," Princess Jin was a little flustered like a frightened bird, "do you have any other orders?" ”
"Princess Jin's lips are pale, her eyes are blue and black, and her complexion is sallow, as if she has blood and qi obstruction. Does the princess have cold hands and feet in winter, but her palms are like charcoal fire in summer? Menstrual events often do not come for two or three months, and the amount that comes is less and darker? ”
Redstone suddenly revealed Princess Jin's illness.
Princess Jin was stunned, Zhu was displeased, and turned around.
"Old gentleman...... Zhu frowned, squinting at the red stone.
He was unwilling to spend any tongue and time on Princess Jin.
Hongshi smiled and picked up the medicine bottle on the table: "The princess can also use this medicine to regulate her body." If the princess wants to have a child, she can become pregnant after half a year. ”
"Pregnant, pregnant?" Princess Jin's lips couldn't help trembling, causing her nostrils to open and close, even if it was to give her the glory of the queen, she might not be as surprised and excited as hearing the news at this time.
Zhu was taken aback, and a trace of imperceptible joy quickly flashed in his eyes.
Although he was indifferent to Princess Jin, he also hoped that his heirs would prosper.
"Really?" The light of surprise brought to life the eyes of Princess Jin that she was accustomed to sorrow, and her long eyelashes fluttered movingly.
"Seriously." Redstone Road.
Princess Jin's tears burst out of the frame, for a weak woman like her, children are everything.
She hurriedly half-squatted down and thanked him: "Thanks to the old gentleman's healing, I feel that the old gentleman is affected!" ”
Hongshi picked up Princess Jin and said, "The old man doesn't dare to be, he doesn't dare to be!" ”
"Old man, what kind of miracle medicine is this, and it can do anything?" Zhu grabbed the medicine bottle and looked at it carefully.
The first thing that came to his mind was his big brother. Can this bottle of medicine also save my brother's life?
"This is tobacco leaves, from Luzon."
"Luzon, so far away......"
Although Zhu was a little surprised to hear of the distant Luzon, as a powerful divider of the Ming Dynasty, he quickly moved on to the topic he was most concerned about.
"Can it detoxify? I mean poison that detoxifies the poison. ”
"Not necessarily, it depends on what kind of poison it is." Hongshi knew Zhu Yi's thoughts, and he also knew what he was going to ask next, so he waited calmly.
"The poison that killed my eldest brother!" Zhu's eyes erupted with fire.
"Hmm...... I'm afraid I can't do anything about the tobacco leaves......" Hongshi observed Zhu quietly and quietly.
Zhu suddenly let go of the medicine bottle in his hand, and also let go of his interest in tobacco leaves, and relaxed his tense nerves.
Fortunately! Fortunately, there was nothing he could do about it, otherwise he would have to blame himself for not getting this medicine bottle earlier and saving his eldest brother's life.
"Tobacco is too soft to restrain highly toxic poisons. The land of Luzon is full of smoke and rain, and the mountains are full of scabs, so the Luzon people regard tobacco as a daily food to get rid of yin and evil cold poison, snakes and insect diseases. It can also refresh the mind, relieve depression, and also have a curative effect on female infertility caused by cold stagnation. ”
Redstone tells the story. Princess Jin listened attentively, while Zhu had already fugued and met her eldest brother.
"However, the so-called medicine is three parts poison. Although tobacco has many benefits, perennial smoking can also cause illness, especially when the amount is increased, and it can even be fatal. ”
With the sound of "dang", Zhu's heartstrings were plucked again.
He picked up the vial again and stared at it with the same solemn gaze as a courtier who would make a meritorious service.
It's a murderous treasure, it's a silent poisonous snake, and it may become a magic weapon for him to wish.
Late at night, Redstone sits in front of a bookcase.
In the darkness, every step of his plan was more clearly displayed in front of him.
A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
In these days in the Jin Palace, he had already seen when Zhu Yu's carbuncle had climbed on his back, and he had also observed the difficult situation of the Jin princess, but he was silent.
He had been waiting for this important moment today, so that the medicine bottle in his hand could be used.
After going down, Zhu Yuanzhang dragged his tired body and slowly walked towards the East Palace.
He dreamed of the crown prince Zhu Biao last night and the queen of horses.
Queen Ma mended her clothes with a smile and listened to him and Zhu Biao debating today's state affairs.
Zhu Biao's refutation of Zhu Yuanzhang's views was sharp and witty, and Zhu Yuanzhang was a little overwhelmed.
He wanted to get angry, but Queen Ma's eyes stopped him. He calmed down and thought about Zhu Biao's point of view, only to find that the blue is better than the blue, and Zhu Biao is right.
He was glad that his country could be entrusted to an excellent heir, and he woke up with a smile.
The clearer the dream, the heavier the footsteps, Zhu Yuanzhang kept panting, gulping out the anger gathered in his heart, but he couldn't finish spraying it.
His mind didn't want to go to the East Palace, his heart took him there.
What are you going to do? He himself didn't know.
Standing alone outside the gate of the East Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes searched for something familiar in his memory, which could be a tree, a tile, or a person, a familiar voice.
The coldness of the East Palace put another layer of ice on his cold heart.
Without the prince's East Palace, without the prince's Daming, in the eyes of his father, who has no eldest son, it is as dark as an abyss.
