Chapter 14: Poisoning
Xiao Qi silently watched Wen Di get dressed neatly, and then followed her to the Duyan Garden opposite to visit Lin Ajiu. For some reason, he felt that today's young lady had a different momentum.
Yao Qiqi had already returned to the palace at this time, and when he saw her coming, he helped Lin Ajiu up, dressed up, and went to the hall to meet.
"My sister has been sick for the past few days, but she is really haggard a lot, and I feel really distressed to see my sister." Wen Di said, and ordered Baoyue to bring up a lacquer plate and remove the cloth covering it.
Lin Ajiu was slightly startled, what was placed here was the sachet she gave to Wendi.
"Sister, what do you mean?" Lin Ajiu's slightly haggard face was a little gloomy, she had always been worried about her "charming bones" being countered, and now it seems that this girl really did it!
Wen Di smiled lightly, revealing a mouthful of neat teeth: "Sister is a smart person, don't you understand the meaning of my sister's move?" ”
She stood up, walked in front of Lin Ajiu, leaned down, and whispered in her ear, "Don't think I don't know the purpose of your coming to the Seventeen Princes' Mansion. Everyone knows it, so don't sell it. If you don't offend me, I will naturally not do anything to you again, but if my sister is obsessed, don't blame my sister for using tricks. ”
After speaking, she straightened up and smiled sweetly at Lin Ajiu: "Sister, your body is still weak, so my sister won't bother much, pay attention to rest." ”
A dashing turn, taking Xiao Qi and Bao Yue, left with steady steps.
Lin Ajiu looked at her back, her silver teeth were clucking, and her eyes were almost on fire.
Seeing this, Yao Qiqi leaned over and said, "Ah Jiu, the pavilion master has an order: don't pay attention to this concubine for the time being, you just have to do your own thing." ”
Lin Ajiu looked at her angrily: "Qiqi, this tone, you told me to endure it like this?" ”
"Pavilion Master's order, Ah Jiu, do you dare to resist?" Yao Qiqi's face was cold, "She doesn't know martial arts, but the people around her are not fuel-efficient lamps!" I advise you to complete the task first, as for her, if it is not in the way, why not let her live a few more days? ”
Xiao Qi followed Wen Di back to the yard, saw her change her clothes and clean her hands, turned around and went into the kitchen, and couldn't help but pout: "Miss, you ...... today." Something is different. ”
"Oh?" Wen Di looked at him sideways, "Tell me, what's the difference?" ”
"Not only have you become lively and cheerful, but you have also become a lot bolder, and you have even learned to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and go to Concubine Lin to threaten." Xiao Qi scraped his cheek with his fingers and carefully worded his words.
Wen Di sneered: "What, I'm not lively and cheerful, and I'm not bold?" ”
Xiao Qi sighed slightly: "Since the old man and the lady passed over, Xiao Qi feels that the young lady has changed. ”
Tie the apron on his body, Wen Di looked at him solemnly: "Xiao Qi, the Wen family only has you and me." Although we are alone, we can't be bullied at will, right? I married into this seventeen princes' mansion, so I am a side concubine, and we have to protect each other even more! ”
When Xiao Qi heard this, his eyes were slightly wet, and he quickly nodded yes. yes, he hadn't seen Miss's smile in a long time. Since the accident in the Wen family, the young lady has been depressed, and her temperament has become cold, and she is not too interested in anything, but passively accepts, like a puppet. Now that he finally saw her change back to her previous appearance, he was really happy for her!
asked Chen's mother to teach her to tinker with a few side dishes, and Wen Di estimated that Yu Chi Jincheng was coming back, so she and Baoyue took the food box and took Xiao Qi out of the yard.
The midday sun was dazzling, but the mood for hearing the flute was good.
When he arrived outside the gate of Wei Chi Jincheng Courtyard, he suddenly saw Uncle Ju, the housekeeper, showing an anxious look on his face, and hurriedly walked out of it. Wen Di stopped him and asked about the situation.
Uncle Ju took a breath and said that the prince came back and drank a sip of tea and fell unconscious, and now he was about to ask the imperial doctor to come over, and left in a hurry after speaking.
Wen Di hurriedly led people in, and saw He Zi and Jiang Tao guarding the couch, Yu Chi Jincheng's face was bruised, and he fainted on the bed unconscious.
"Lord Wang." Wen Di came in, and he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he walked to Wei Chi Jincheng and knelt down, reached out and touched his forehead.
"Side concubine!" He Zi stretched out his hand to stop it, but was glared back by her.
"What, the prince is sick, can't the palace visit?" Her words made He Zi retreat stupidly, and she had to let her.
Wen Di looked at Yu Chi Jincheng's pupils, probed his snort again, and turned to look at the tea on the table: "The prince just drank this tea before he fell into a coma?" ”
Jiang Tao nodded, and pointed to the maid who was kneeling on the ground trembling: "It's the tea she sent." ”
Wen Di passed, took the residual tea, put it in his mouth and smelled it, poured the tea again, and looked at the tea leaves. Yu Chi Jincheng usually likes Biluochun, but today this tea is mixed with other things, presumably the problem is here.
Wen Di walked over and asked the maidservant, "This palace asks you, where did you get this tea?" ”
The maidservant replied tremblingly: "Hui Niangniang, the slave's tea is taken out of the fixed tea barrel. Every time the prince comes back, he must drink, so the slave and maid don't know what's going on, and the prince and the prince have become like this. ”
Wendi asked her to take herself, Jiang Tao was not at ease, and also followed, only to see several large and small bamboo tubes on the shelf, with labels on them, all of which were the tea leaves that Yu Chi Jincheng loved to drink.
The maid pointed to a tea bucket and said, "Niangniang, this tea is from where the slave and maid took it......
Wen Di stepped forward, took down the tea barrel, opened the lid, and poured out all the tea leaves inside, and sure enough, he saw that there were other things mixed in it, so he said to Jiang Tao: "The prince's tea was mixed with a poisonous herb called 'big tea medicine', this thing is very poisonous, if you use less, you will pull out poison and kill insects, and if you use too much, it will be fatal." ”
Jiang Tao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Concubine Niangniang, can the prince's illness still be saved?" ”
Wen Di lowered his eyes and said: "The prince's martial arts are world-famous, it shouldn't be so quick to poison, and let's see what the imperial doctor says." As for this poisoner, I think with the ability of the royal palace, he should soon have eyebrows. ”
After speaking, he left the house and returned to Yu Chi Jincheng.
The imperial doctor had already taken the pulse, and sure enough, as Wen Di said, he was caused by eating poisonous weeds by mistake. After prescribing some anti-poisoning medicines, the imperial doctor looked embarrassed and said to Wen Di and others: "The prince is very seriously poisoned, and the old minister can only protect his heart with silver needles first, and then use drugs to drive away the poison, as for whether he can save the prince...... It depends on the creation of the prince. ”
"Doctor, what are you talking about?!" When He Zi heard this, he grabbed him, "The prince is rich and noble, how can he not be saved!" Listen to me, from now on, you will stay here and treat the prince, if you can't cure him, you won't want to live! ”
Ignoring the imperial doctor's confession there, Wen Di turned his head to look at Yu Chi Jincheng on the bed, if she stayed and pretended to take care of it now, maybe she could get the piece of Ding Yuebi on his waist. But looking at Jiang Tao and He Zi's appearance, I am afraid that they will not leave their left and right, plus the unfathomable martial arts of the four dark guards...... In this way, it is better for her to take risks and save Wei Chi Jincheng and gain more trust.
Thinking of this, Wen Di said to Jiang Tao: "This palace remembers that the prince is protected by secret guards, and in the current situation, we must find them to help the prince force the poison, maybe it can be relieved." ”
Jiang Tao frowned, this concubine knows a lot, and now in this situation, it seems that she can only listen to her dispatch first.
The four dark guards soon came to Wei Chi Jincheng, and after hearing the words of the flute, they began to perform exercises to force poison for him. Seeing this, Wen Di turned around and went out, and looked back inadvertently, just in front of Li Er's eyes.
Wen Di trembled slightly, and immediately took Xiao Qi and them out.
"Miss, now that the prince is poisoned, what should we do?" Back at Yimo Garden, Xiao Qi frowned and asked.
Wen Di raised his head and said, "Naturally, I want to save him." ”
"But where will we solve the poison in him?" Xiao Qi's face was embarrassed, although Miss was well-read and knew a little about this herb, but the matter of detoxification, after all, was a matter of Langzhong, how could they?
Wen Di raised his eyes and looked at him: "Xiao Qi, if there is anyone else in the rivers and lakes who can cure the strange poison, I think there is no other place except Qingfeng Palace." ”
"Miss, you mean ......" Xiao Qi's eyes widened and he looked at her in disbelief.
Wen Di's eyes were full of perseverance, and he said lightly: "This palace naturally wants to go to Qingfeng Hall to ask for medicine. ”
"Miss, but I heard that although the Qingfeng Hall is famous for medicine, they also have a lot of rules, and ordinary people disdain to look at minor illnesses and disasters, but this incurable disease has to be passed. Miss, are you really going to go to the Seifuden Temple? Xiao Qi looked worried.
Wen Di nodded: "Naturally, I want to go." If I don't know how to save him, then that's fine, since I know, where is the reason not to go? Naturally, she said this to Baoyue on the side, although Baoyue was good, she couldn't fully gain her trust, Wendi wanted to use this way to slowly take down all the people around Yu Chi Jincheng.
"Miss, Xiao Qi will accompany you!"
"Niangniang, Baoyue will go too!"
The two of them spoke at the same time.
Wen Di instructed Baoyue: "Go and prepare the car, the palace will leave now, maybe I can come back in the evening." ”
Baoyue nodded and went out.
Xiao Qi leaned over and asked, "Miss, do you really plan to save the prince?" ”
Wen Di nodded, sighed lightly and said, "No matter how you say it, he is also the prince and my husband." ”
Xiao Qi just wanted to say something, but Baoyue came back, this girl was fast, and said that she had ordered someone to prepare the carriage, and now come back to see if the concubine has anything else to serve.
Wen Di nodded, went back to the house to change into light clothes, took the jade flute, and went out with Xiao Qi.
Sitting in the carriage, Wen Di pretended to close his eyes to recuperate, and began to secretly transport the magic tricks. Everything around her was in front of her. The coachman knew the way, and the car drove quickly and steadily, and after a while, it stopped in front of a village on the outskirts of Kyoto.
Xiao Qi shouted outside, "Miss, it's here." ”
Wendi and Baoyue lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
There is a gilt plaque outside the Zhuangzi, with three big characters of "Qingfeng Palace" written on it, and the stone lions on both sides are carved vividly. It's just that this gate is hidden, and no one receives it, so it's a bit surprising to hear the flute.
She asked Xiao Qi to push the door in, and before she had walked a few steps, she heard a cry coming from inside.
