Chapter 028: We Exchange Secrets, How
Mo Huaijin carried Hua Qing back to his room and said to the palace maid who followed:
"Stand down, all of you!"
"Whoa."
The maids led out and closed the door by the way, thinking that the last time she misunderstood Mo Huaijin's plot against her, Hua Qing's face turned crimson with shame. Mo Huaijin carried her to the stool and put her down, turned around and gave Hua Qing the blood sample and ointment of the seventh princess brought by Su Wen.
Hua Qing put the blood sample of the seventh princess on the table, then opened the cap of the ointment and sniffed the ointment.
"Well, it's the taste. Su Wen made this ointment much faster than I did. ”
Mo Huaijin thought to herself, that was nature. Because Hua Qing had seen Hua Qing's home in Southern Xinjiang before, not to mention the equipment for refining medicine, even the house where she lived and lived was dilapidated, how could it be compared with the Bai family, who had practiced medicine for generations.
Hua Qing took another small bottle of the Seventh Princess's blood sample and opened it carefully along the cap. Seeing that the residual blood inside seemed to be lighter than yesterday's color, I couldn't help frowning.
Seeing this, Mo Huaijin asked:
"What's wrong?"
"The symptoms of the seventh princess have deepened again."
She seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked:
"That's right, Childe. I've always been curious, why did Hanke fall for Gu? Could it be that in the Central Plains, there are also poisonous Gu clans who practice Gu? ”
It's okay if she doesn't mention it, but when she mentions it, Mo Huaijin remembers that something was wrong with her before.
"How about we exchange secrets?"
"Secret? What secrets can I have? ”
Hua Qing has a weak heart.
"I don't know what you're talking about?"
She turned her face away, not wanting to look at Mo Huaijin. Mo Huaijin just sat down in front of her.
"Do you remember that when you were in the post house, you quarreled with Su Wen? I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I followed, and I saw you changing clothes, and I saw you on the back with a five-petal plum blossom mark. ”
"What do you want to say?"
"Don't worry."
He could clearly sense her displeasure, but he patiently continued:
"When I saw your plum blossom mark, it just felt familiar, and I didn't think too much about it. Later, when I came back, I saw Hua Ququ and remembered that Prime Minister Hua's original wife, Zhen Zhen, was also a member of the Poison Gu clan. Of course, Zhen Zhen and Hua Jiujiu are missing, which is another story. I just want to say that because I saw Huaququ, I thought of Zhen Zhen, and because I thought of Zhen Zhen, I remembered the plum blossom mark on your back, and then I remembered again, where did I see this five-petal plum blossom mark. ”
"Where?"
"Nanmu State. I've seen it in Nanmu Prefecture, the poisonous Gu clan in the slaughtered village, they have plum blossom marks on their backs that look exactly the same as yours. That day, we went to see Hanke and came back, you asked me if the clue of the Poison Gu Clan was broken, and when I said that the Poison Gu Clan was all destroyed, your expression was surprised for a while, and you were still distracted. Therefore, I conclude that there is some connection between you and the Poison Gu Clan, which can also explain why you know that Hanke is a Plant Gu. Am I right? ”
Hua Qing did not deny it. Mo Huaijin asked again:
"So, the reason why you appeared outside my tent was all premeditated?"
"Childe, what are you talking about? What premeditation? Do you think I'm following you because I'm a member of the Gu Poison Clan? And then what is the deep hatred between you and Gu Poison, or is it that I am being used by someone to come and come to your side, and my duty is to kill you? ”
“......”
Mo Huaijin didn't expect her brain to be so big.
"The reason why I chased after you was because I wanted to return your jade pendant, I followed the direction you went into an inn to inquire about you, and the shopkeeper said that you lived there, and said that you were out, so I waited there for you to come back. I was too tired that day, I slept after eating, and slept until night, Xiao Er took me to the guest's room to look for you, but I knocked on the door, and I fainted before I could see the people inside, and then woke up, and I was next to you. ”
"Childe, I didn't make up a story, what I said was true."
"Of course I believe what you say is true. But don't blame me for doubting you, in this world, I really can't think of anyone who knows the two of us, knows that the two of us know each other and can send you from the inn to me, and I don't know what this person's motive is for sending you to me. ”
Hua Qing also shook her head after hearing this.
"Maybe it's the jade pendant? Didn't you give me a jade pendant? However, even if it was that jade pendant, the guests in that room saw that they were not greedy for money and did not steal it, and they knew that the owner of this jade pendant was you, and specially sent me from the inn to you, I think, this person should be familiar to you. Do you have any doubts in your heart? ”
Mo Huaijin was in his heart, he didn't want to mention this topic again.
"Forget it, let the people below investigate this matter, I still have something to ask you, the people of the Southern Xinjiang tribe who live with you, are they poisonous Gu clans?"
Hua Qing shook her head.
"It's not."
"Then why do you and your aunt live with them? Is it because you know that I am going to search for the whereabouts of the Poison Gu Clan, so you are afraid that I will be unfavorable to them, so you try your best to clear up the relationship between Southern Xinjiang and the Poison Gu Clan? ”
"Childe, if I say no, it's not. I don't have to lie to you. My aunt and I are not of the same race as the people in southern Xinjiang. ”
"Don't you think it's strange that it's not a race, but it's a race?"
Hua Qing felt that his question was inexplicable, and replied impatiently:
"Yes, my aunt asked me to keep it a secret, and I can't say to the outside world that I am a descendant of the Poison Gu clan. The reason why I tell you is because I won't hide it from you at all, I can't hide it. But your attempt to prove through me what the poisonous Gu has to do with Southern Xinjiang will make me feel funny. Because the clansmen in Southern Xinjiang don't know that we are the descendants of the Poison Gu clan at all, except for the patriarch, no one knows our identity. Moreover, the clansmen in Southern Xinjiang also completely regard me and A-Niang as their own clansmen, so there is no need for you to insist on tying the Poison Gu Clan and Southern Xinjiang together. ”
Mo Huaijin felt that Hua Qing didn't look like she was lying, so she gave up the interrogation.
"Childe, you really don't need to dwell on this, I can also assure you that there is no relationship between Southern Xinjiang and the Poison Gu Clan. I won't lie to you, if we want to treat the Seventh Princess now, we must first find out why the Seventh Princess fell for the Gu and who is the person who practiced the Gu, not whether there is a connection between this quarrel between Southern Xinjiang and the poisonous Gu? Got it? ”
After Hua Qing finished speaking, she used her fingers to grind the blood sample of the seventh princess, sniffing the smell. Mo Huaijin opened his mouth and said:
"We don't know who the person who performed Gu on Han Ke is, we found out that the place where Han Ke fainted was the Yi Wangfu. According to Hanke's personal maid, Hanke wrote a poem that day and took it to ask King Yi for advice, but the people in King Yi's mansion said that King Yi went to Rongcheng at that time, and was not in the house, but a maid who came out to water the flowers. The people of Yiwangfu thought that Hanke had just fainted, and helped Hanke to rest, but the imperial doctor was recruited, but her condition could not be diagnosed, and Hanke was in a coma for several days before he knew that something was wrong. ”
Hua Qing replied:
"Then how do you know that what is in Hanke is Gu poison?"
"Because Hanke couldn't wake up, and the doctors couldn't diagnose the cause, the imperial brother posted a list in the Central Plains, and a doctor who unveiled the list said that Hanke was Gu poison. Before this doctor died, he also said that there were Gu poison clans in Nanmu Prefecture who had been practicing Gu for generations, and there were rogues in Nanmu Prefecture at that time, so the imperial brother asked me to go to Nanmu Prefecture to investigate the matter in the name of pacifying the rogues. Unexpectedly, the 'Liukou' is a well-trained team, and they slaughtered the Poison Gu Clan before we did. And we, too, fell into an ambush. You know what happened later. ”
Hua Qing thought to herself, how could these things be so coincidental?
"On the day the seventh princess fainted, did she have any conflicts with other people? Was King Yi really not in the house that day? And the doctor who unveiled the list, why did he die? Does the doctor have a family? ”
Mo Huaijin shook his head.
"What you doubted, I doubted. However, eyewitness testimonies all said that Han Ke entered the palace of King Yi that day, and was elated, and he even greeted the housekeeper when he entered. There was nothing special in King Yi's Mansion that day, everything was as usual, and it didn't look like there was a dispute. And King Yi went to Rongcheng that day, and Rongcheng's assassination history and several Rongcheng officials can testify, and King Yi also brought some Rongcheng's specialties back that day. As for the doctor who unveiled the list, he was a wandering barefoot doctor, without a wife and no daughters, and the funeral treatment was still handled by the local county government when he died. ”
"That's weird."
"That's why I'm going to ask you if there is any connection between Southern Xinjiang and the Poison Gu Clan. I don't know how the doctor knew the whereabouts of the Poison Gu Clan, but please believe that I am not as the world and the world rumored, I hate the people of the Poison Gu Clan when I see them, and I have to kill them. I'm just holding on to the glimmer of life to find out how to save Hanke, and I'm just asking you for help, after all, Hanke is my own sister. There is one more thing I can promise you with my life, I will not harm your people, whether they are from the southern Xinjiang or the poison Gu clan. ”
