Chapter 688: Zhenbei Hou's Conspiracy
Qi Yan was shocked when he heard this, this group of people actually cultivated trees with corpses! No way! I had to find a chance to leave and tell the prince about it.
The footsteps in his ears were getting closer and closer, and Qi Yan could feel that his heart had jumped to his throat, and Qi Yan, who had forgotten to take the Turtle Breath Pill, held his breath and lay quietly on the ground motionless.
The bitter medicinal juice flowed down the corners of his mouth into his throat, and Qi Yan wanted to struggle, and a violent burning sensation came from his internal organs.
"Hurry up! Why is it so rubbing? The prince is still waiting. ”
"What's the hurry? This work of feeding medicine to the dead is not easy to do, but the corpse I found today is much better than the previous ones, and the medicine that was fed did not overflow? ”
"Didn't I overflow?" Qi Yan felt that someone next to him suddenly squatted down, and his mouth was forcefully opened.
"Huh? It's really strange, maybe it wasn't long after this person died? Look at it, there are no broken places on the body. ”
"Really! Go, go, go back and tell the prince that these corpses will be buried in a while! ”
The footsteps gradually disappeared, Qi Yan bit his numb tongue, because of the sharp pain from the internal organs, the vision in front of him became more and more blurred, forcing himself to stay awake, Qi Yan stumbled and finally escaped from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion through the carriage transporting vegetables.
At the back door of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, Qi Yan rolled out of the vegetable basket, and the battle moved quickly to the ground.
"Qi Yan! Qi Yan? "Probed Qi Yan's snort, the medicinal effect of the turtle breath pill had faded, and Qi Yan's breath was still weak.
Seeing that there was no one around, Zhan Ge carried Qi Yan on his shoulders and quickly returned to the palace.
"Someone! Come! Zhan Ge then obviously felt that the temperature on Qi Yan's body was getting lower and lower, and he didn't want Qi Yan to die like this, Zhan Ge's eyes were red.
"Zhan Ge?" Wushuang and Ruoqiu heard the shouts coming from the courtyard, opened the curtain, and saw Qi Yan who was dying after being taken by Zhan Ge.
"What's going on?" Ruoqiu's face was pale and she stood weakly beside the bed.
"Untie his clothes first, the phoenix will be here soon!" Yan Wushuang was inconvenient to move, so he took two steps back and asked Ruoqiu beside him to untie the placket of Qi Yan's upper body.
The jet-black mark had already covered Qi Yan's entire chest, and Ruoqiu cried uncontrollably.
"The water is coming!" The next person brought a basin of warm water, and Ruoqiu quickly cleaned up the smell of corpses on Qi Yan's body.
"Why hasn't the phoenix come yet?" Zhan Ge stretched out his hand to put his hand on Qi Yan's pulse, his brows furrowed, Qi Yan's pulse would pause every once in a while, which was not a good sign.
"It's coming, it's coming!" As soon as the phoenix heard Qi Yan return home, he sensed that something was wrong, and immediately put down the herbs he had just thrown into the furnace and ran over.
Zhan Ge made room for Phoenix, and Ruoqiu held a handkerchief on the side and tightly covered her pale lips, so as not to let her cry disturb Phoenix's treatment.
The phoenix's face was solemn, he turned around and took out the silver needle from the box he brought, and pierced it on the top of Qi Yan's head.
"Phoenix, him?" Zhan Ge asked with an ugly face.
"I'm afraid even I can't do anything this time, the black mark on Qi Yan's chest is a sign of poisoning, and in addition, the inside of his head has also been affected."
"Nope! That's impossible! Ruoqiu cried bitterly and lay on Qi's body, Ruoqiu couldn't believe it, it was fine before, but after only one day's work, his father-in-law was about to be separated from his yin and yang.
"Phoenix, is there really no way?" Yan Wushuang spoke out, and couldn't bear to look at Ruoqiu who was crying bitterly.
Phoenix shook his head and said, "I can only apply needles to temporarily alleviate Qi Yan's injuries and bring him back to consciousness, but there is no way to cure him."
Zhan Ge had a gloomy face and said, "Then apply the needle."
Yan Wushuang helped Ruoqiu up, and watched the phoenix plunge silver needles into Qi Yan's body.
After about a quarter of an hour, Qi Yan's face became a little more ruddy, and he opened his eyes weakly.
Qi Yan ......" Ruoqiu choked up, not daring to touch his body covered with silver needles again.
"Qiu'er, princess, princess." This sound of Qiu'er almost made Ruoqiu faint in grief, and Yan Wushuang supported her body and stood aside.
"Qi Yan, you ......" Zhan Ge didn't know how to tell Qi Yan, after all, he promised Qi Yan to pretend to be a corpse and go to Zhenbei Hou Mansion to listen to the news, and now Qi Yan is seriously injured, and he can't get rid of it.
Qi Yan understood his current situation from the faces of several people, and weakly pulled out a smile, and said, "Lord Wang, Qi Yan has fulfilled his mission and inquired about the Marquis of Zhenbei...... The reason for the search for the body. ”
Zhan Ge stepped forward and squatted beside Qi Yan's bed, and heard Qi Yan continue: "Zhenbei Hou...... He planted a tree with the found corpse, if ...... If this is a tree blooming, you can control the movements of those dead people! ”
"Click!" The bed pole that Zhan Ge was holding was crushed, "Brute! Grit your teeth and say these two words.
"Ahem, ahem...... Now that my task has been completed, I only hope that the prince and princess can treat Ruoqiu well, after all, I owe her. ”
Ruoqiu's face was covered with tears, she kept shaking her head, and when she saw the silent phoenix on the side, Ruoqiu knelt down, grabbed the corner of the phoenix's clothes, and begged: "Divine doctor, I beg you, save my father-in-law, save him, I can be a cow and a horse for the divine doctor in the future, and repay your kindness."
Qi Yan looked at the phoenix with a compassionate look, and the phoenix bit his back molars and said: "If you want him to live, it's not impossible, I can try to fight poison with poison on him, but this can only make him live for a long time."
"As long as he lives, I can take care of him!" Ruoqiu had a glimmer of hope in her eyes, and said firmly to Qi Yan on the bed.
Phoenix glanced at the husband and wife, sighed helplessly, and said, "Okay, I'll try, but I'm afraid the effect won't be too good."
"Good! Thank you, Doctor! Thank you! Ruoqiu slowly stood up and nodded at Yan Wushuang behind her.
In the evening, the town is north of the Hou Mansion.
"Feed the medicine again today, and this batch will be fine!"
"Yes, yes, but we should go to find the corpse again, or the Hou Ye will be angry again!"
"Hey...... We...... No, third, do you see if there's a corpse missing here? Still...... Or am I mistaken. The subordinate who was called the third child walked over quickly, looked back and forth at the place where Qi Yan had been lying before.
"Yes...... It's one less! No...... It can't be a corpse, right? "The third child doesn't have much knowledge, and he usually just rushes behind a group of brothers, and finally chooses such a simple and easy, and there is more silver, and it has only been a few days later, and this happened!
"Fart, don't talk nonsense, you're watching me here, go tell Master Hou now!."
"Hey......" The third squatted down anxiously, clapped his hands on the ground, and said, "Fuck! What the hell is that guy who lacks virtue and even steals corpses! ”
"Master Hou, it's not good!"
The subordinate who found the body lost ran into the study of Zhenbei Hou out of breath.
"What's the panic?" Zhenbei Hou recognized that the person in the blue robe in front of him was the little head guarding the corpse, frowned, and continued: "What happened?"
The subordinate was frightened by the eyes of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and knelt on the ground, trembling into a sieve, and said tremblingly: "Master Hou! Corpse...... A corpse was lost in the backyard! ”
"What?" Zhenbei Hou stood up in shock, bypassed the table, and lifted the subordinate of the report by the collar.
"Say it again!"
"Hou ...... Father! In the backyard, today the little one went to feed the corpses in the backyard as usual, and found ...... A well-preserved corpse has inexplicably disappeared. ”
"Bang!" Throwing the subordinate in his hand to the corner of the wall, Zhenbei Hou's face turned pale.
How is this possible? How can a person who is already dead forget about the wonderful disappearance? Don't? Someone found out! No! No way!
Zhenbei Hou quickly overturned the conjecture in his heart, all the corpses were found from mass graves, and he had always done it carefully, so that no one would find it at all.
Could it be that someone stole it? In just a few sticks of incense, countless thoughts appeared in Zhenbei Hou's mind, and he glared fiercely at the terrifying person who was thrown into the corner by himself.
"Get out!" The subordinate was obviously not lightly fallen, and staggered out of the study.
Locking the door of the study from the inside, Zhenbei Hou glanced around and walked to the only picture in the study.
Reaching out and groping for the back of the painting, the hand was paused, and the Hou of Zhenbei pressed hard to find the bulge, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
A secret door opens on the wall on the side of the "Boom ......", and the dark doorway is full of the situation.
Zhenbei Hou glanced vigilantly at the unlocked doors and windows behind him and flashed into the secret room.
The secret room in the study was only known to the Zhenbei Hou of the past dynasties, and when he walked into the secret room skillfully, a torch would be lit every two steps, and the Zhenbei Hou lifted the clothes on his body and accelerated his pace.
Deep in the Chamber of Secrets.
A man in white clothes was fiddling with the bottles and cans in his hand, and when he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, the man's men still did not pause in the slightest.
"Spirit Dust!" The Hou of Zhenbei hurriedly came, but the people in front of him were not affected in the slightest.
Regarding Lingchen's attitude, Zhenbei Hou frowned dissatisfiedly, and walked around in front of Lingchen, Zhenbei Hou snorted coldly.
"Benhou needs you to develop a drug that can control the dead as soon as possible."
Lingchen's movements paused, raised his eyes and glanced at the well-dressed Zhenbei Hou in front of him, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Master Hou, I just promised you to stay and help you, but I didn't admit that I was your subordinate!"
"You!" Zhenbei Hou's face was gloomy, as if he had thought of something? The expression on his face softened a little, and he lowered his voice and said: "Lingchen, you misunderstood, I just want you to develop a medicine to control the dead as soon as possible, and I don't mean to order you, I'm afraid that the night will be long and dreamy!"
