Chapter 40: Suppressing Poison
Huanhuan has been trying to squeeze out a smile these days, forcing himself to think of something happy. After learning that the legendary old Qi Divine Doctor used the Tong Blood Worm to pull her back from the underground Yellow Spring, she cherished her life even more.
If she hadn't met the miracle doctor when she drowned this time, maybe the new grass on the grave had grown more than half a foot.
That day, Li Zerong sent He Li to invite the old doctor Qi to come, but when He Li arrived at his residence, there was no one in the bamboo house, only a prescription paper was pasted on the door, and two words were written on it: Be cautious and angry.
So Huanhuan remembered why his whole body was in unbearable pain after seeing Li Zerong that day, it turned out that he couldn't help but think of Qin Niang's death, the sad things in the past when he was young, and he was angry.
After tasting the bitterness of that day, Huanhuan no longer dared to be angry, and did not dare to think back to the past.
What's more, that day, Li Zerong invited doctors from all over the city to ask how to remove the tung blood worm in her body, but no one could cure her.
Huanhuan understands that the so-called miracle doctor must have a craft medicine that ordinary people cannot learn.
In fact, that kind of pain can be dissipated, she has felt it herself, as long as Li Zerong is close to her, it is like pressing her wrist to death on the bed board that day, snorting at each other, lips and teeth against each other......
Huanhuan blushed and felt ashamed when she remembered that day, and she remembered that Li Zerong had never left her lips, and it was not until He Qi entered the room with a group of panicked doctors that he reluctantly let go of her.
The doctors in the city are not all incompetent, and among them is a young healer, who is plain in appearance but extraordinary in speech and demeanor. After he diagnosed Huanhuan's pulse, he said that the Tong blood worm in his body was similar to the Gu worm parasite that was prevalent in Yunjin Mountain. 、
Li Zerong saw that he knew a thing or two, so he immediately drove the rest of the doctors out of the house and left him alone. Repeating what his uncle, the old miracle doctor, said when he found him that day.
"Oh? Is there such a thing in the world? After hearing that the tung blood insect likes to eat dirty blood, can dredge the qi veins of the whole body, and has the effect of reviving the dead, he praised again and again, "It is worthy of being a miracle doctor, and the old Qi seniors are really powerful." After the blood insect eats up the dirty blood, its body bursts and pumps out tens of thousands of eggs, and the eggs will be hidden in the body for nearly ten years? ”
Li Zerong understood what he meant, and he also wanted to know, what about ten years from now?
All the eggs are hatched, and there will be tens of thousands of Tongxue insects in the body, and I am afraid that by that day, Huanhuan will have only a dead end.
"Why did Old Doctor Qi leave at this time? I'm afraid that only Qi Lao can get rid of this worm. The young healer knelt on the ground, "Now the princess still has the image of air flow in her body, which shows that the dirty blood in her body has not been removed. ”
When Huanhuan first heard this, he felt that the blood worms in his body were not so serious, as long as he could take them out. Her focus was not on how to get rid of blood worms, but on the young doctor who called her the princess, Li Zerong did not get angry and corrected.
Huanhuan gently lifted the bed curtain with his hand, leaving a thin slit, and secretly observed everything outside, wanting to see how Li Zerong reacted.
Unexpectedly, Li Zerong didn't say anything else, but concentrated on discussing the blood worms with the doctor, "Then according to what Mr. said, how to get rid of the blood worms in the body?" ”
"I once met a mute slave with poison in his body, his tongue was cut out, and he couldn't speak. And look at the scar that should have been cut off when he was a child.
I took his pulse, and his pulse was like that of a princess today, and his breath was disordered. In order to make it easier to ask him, I prepared paper and ink for him to write.
He wrote for a long time before he wrote three words with crooked lines, Yun Jinshan. It is rumored that Yunjin Mountain is covered with dense fog throughout the year, accompanied by continuous drizzle, and is inaccessible. Perhaps it is this kind of environment that can give birth to the Gu worms of Yunjin Mountain.
I knew that I couldn't cure him, so I set out to find a famous doctor all the way, just hoping to find out a thing or two about the insect Gu technique.
Until I arrived in the area of Yunjin Mountain, I met a strange girl with a very beautiful face, but she had a dark red rash all over her body. She told me that she had been poisoned by the Gu poison, and after the eggs hatched and grew in her body, this scarlet idea would emerge. She told me that there is no medicine in the world that can completely remove Gu worms, only suppress Gu poison. ”
When Huanhuan heard this that day, he didn't dare to listen any further. The thought of a bug scurrying inside her body made her feel terrified.
I knew today, why did I risk dying in the water and deliberately sink for so long? When I thought of this, I beat my chest and kicked my feet, and regretted it.
Li Zerong was much calmer than Huanhuan, and he didn't want to listen to the young doctor talk so much nonsense, so he went straight to the topic, "What can suppress Gu poison?" ”
When the young doctor heard this, his face was cramped, his face was flushed, and he stopped talking.
Li Zerong looked at him coldly, and coughed lightly: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"The woman said that the love between men and women can suppress Gu poison, and if there is no lover around, it is okay to take aphrodisiac."
Li Zerong subconsciously glanced at Huanhuan when he heard this, even if he pretended to be calm on his face, his heart had already set off waves.
When the young doctor said this, his voice was not loud, but it was not small, and Huanhuan did not land a word in his ears. Immediately ashamed, he covered his face with a quilt.
What kind of suppression is this? It's weird, too.
When Huanhuan knew that the Gu poison in his body could only be suppressed by relying on the love of men and women or taking aphrodisiacs, he secretly swore in his heart that he would meditate and cultivate his nature in the future and never get angry.
Ling'er brought a plate of candied fruit, and when she saw Huanhuan, who was sitting on the stool and smirking at the bronze mirror, she said softly, "Miss, let's eat some candied fruit." ”
"These candied fruits were sent by Li Zerong before?" Huanhuan looked at the curvature of the corners of his mouth in the mirror, and immediately raised the corners of his mouth, holding back the original sentence "Throw away the candied fruit sent by Li Zerong to me", but said softly, "Don't eat, bad teeth." ”
"That's right, Miss really can't have any other accidents now." Ling'er put the candied fruit on the table and walked behind Huanhuan, "Miss, do you remember that you used to ask me to teach you how to sew purses?" ”
"Purse?" Huanhuan suddenly remembered that day she climbed the wall and went out of the house, promising to send a purse to her master Nan Yanchen, and hurriedly became interested, "Okay." I want to sew a purse, but what should I sew? ”
"It's easier than sewing a butterfly."
"Okay."
Ling'er's purse has already been sewn, she sewed two purses, and the purse flowers are all begonias.
Huanhuan knew that Ling'er had started sewing the purse early, and only after his hands were shaking and shaking did he thread the embroidery thread into the pinhole, and saw that Ling'er was helping him cut the fabric, and said casually: "Ling'er's purse can be sewn?" What pattern is embroidered? ”
Ling'er didn't answer truthfully, but replied in a cover-up: "After Miss passed out, Ling'er stayed by your bedside, and the sewing was finished in two days." ”
"I slept for a few days, but I suffered you." Huanhuan reached out and held Ling'er's hand, "Don't worry, I won't do stupid things in the future." ”
"Miss, do you know who saved you that day?"
"Who?" Huanhuan put down the needle and thread in his hand, "But He Quan?" ”
"No, not General He."
"Who's that? Slaves? ”
"The slaves stood far away that day, not them."
"Li Zerong?"
"Princess." Ling'er reached out and held Huanhuan's hand, "Gao Yu is not so bad, why did Miss marry the prince for Qin Niang?" ”
Ling'er still couldn't help but ask this sentence.
"Is it true that if a very bad person does a good deed, people will change their opinion of her?"
When she said this, anger rose in Huanhuan's chest, but the sudden stinging pain in her elbow immediately made her take a deep breath, forcing herself to smile at the corner of her mouth, reassuring herself that she was not angry.
"Miss has to think about it, I'm afraid the days ahead will be even more difficult."
Ling'er used her hand to exert force, and Jin cut a piece of brocade cloth cleanly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm going to take back everything they owe me." After speaking, Huanhuan reached out and touched the left side of his face, his face showing sadness, "Why didn't Li Zerong use me?" For the position of the East Palace, it is really unscrupulous, Qin Niang was deliberately given to the queen, just to bring down the An family, and then used Qin Niang's death to let the queen protect me, and now arrange a new identity for me, so as to win over Wang Shilang......"
"Why didn't Miss say that the Wang family wanted to climb the Six Princes' Mansion, but the waiter, how could you talk about wooing?" Ling'er couldn't see Huanhuan's hypocritical speculation, so she couldn't help but scold.
"Then he must have other purposes!"
Ling'er didn't dare to argue with her anymore, for fear that she would get angry and have a poisonous attack, and she would be in pain. changed the subject: "Miss, I know that I have lost a maid in the house recently." Some time ago, a beggar came out of Wuzhou, holding a silver knife in his hand, and killed a person in the blink of an eye. Rumor has it that the beggar has come to the Imperial City, you say......"
Huanhuan interrupted her, "How is it possible, there are so many guards in the palace, and the walls are still so high, how can they sneak into the palace and kill a little maid?" ”
"Yes."
Before Ling'er finished speaking, the master and servant heard the sound of the roof tiles loosening, the sound was very small, but it was right in front of the place where Huanhuan and Ling'er were sitting, and both of them looked up at the roof in horror......
After holding their breath and listening intently for a long time, they didn't hear him again, and their hanging hearts fell, and they looked at each other and smiled.
"It's so terrifying in broad daylight." Huanhuan joked, piercing the brocade cloth with needles and threads, and embroidering at will.
"In the past, Miss Night said that the love between people and ghosts in the book was scary, and every time Ling'er was scared to sleep."
"Hahaha, what's scary about that." Huanhuan smiled and buried her, bowed his head and followed the needle, and his appearance and demeanor were extremely gentle. When Huanhuan raised his eyes to look at Ling'er again, he saw that her face was dead white, her face was frightened, and she looked up at the roof beam above their heads in a daze.
"Miss, really, really, really, there are real people. I, I just saw him, I saw his face. ”
Huanhuan also had the courage to look at Ling'er's line of sight, and this time she also noticed something unusual. The tiles had obviously been moved, and there was still a thin slit that transmitted light, and when Huanhuan looked up, the sunlight that overflowed from the thin slit was reflected on Huanhuan's face.
Ling'er reacted, got up and ran outside the house, ready to call someone, but before she left the house, she was covered by a man dressed in black with a mask and put his hands on his neck, unable to speak.
Seeing this, Huanhuan hurriedly ran to the bed and took out the dagger that had been hidden under the pillow, and looked at the man nervously.
"Put her down!"
The man in black glanced back at Huanhuan, then reached out and closed the door. Only then did he slowly carry Ling'er closer to Huanhuan.
"Slave, it's me!"
Huanhuan didn't recognize who it was when he first heard this voice, but when he saw that person knew him, he looked at that person carefully, and saw that the figure was very similar to the person he missed day and night, and he was overjoyed, and then in disbelief, tears had appeared in the corners of his eyes.
"Brother?" Huanhuan choked up and looked at the man in black, and shouted out the title in disbelief. Just waiting for the man to take off his mask, Huanhuan's two-year wait will bear fruit.
She looked at the man expectantly, and couldn't help but call her brother again.
When Ling'er saw Huanhuan react like this, she thought that Childe was really back. I was overjoyed and didn't struggle anymore. If it is true that the prince returns, the young lady will have no reason to stay, so she can leave the dangerous imperial city and return to Wuzhou in the courtyard of the dangerous Liuwang Mansion.
Under the concentration of Huanhuan and Ling'er, the man in black finally reached out and wanted to pull off the scarf.
Could it be my brother coming back?
