Chapter 55: The Pharmacy
Jinghui didn't know why, he couldn't sleep tonight, so he simply put on his coat and planned to go out for a walk.
Because he has not been in the Yu family in southern Xinjiang for a long time, he is not yet familiar with the structure of the Yu family's house. Fortunately, there was no purpose in the first place, so it didn't prevent you from walking around.
I don't know how long I walked, Jinghui came to a courtyard. This courtyard is different from other courtyards in other parts of the Yu family, and in other courtyards, no matter how big or small, there must be some trees in the courtyard. However, not only can there be no trees in this courtyard, but there is also no grass growing around, and it is very desolate. Coupled with this moonless and starless night today, it is very bleak.
But such a bleak courtyard should have been inaccessible, but there was some light faintly. When the surroundings were shrouded in darkness, such a little bit of light seemed quite tempting, making Jinghui subconsciously want to find out. Even if he knew that at such a time, at such a moment, the light that appeared was not necessarily a good thing.
But he still subconsciously stepped out of his legs.
But I didn't expect to see a person in the courtyard who had never seen it before, but could recognize the identity of the other party at first sight.
Childe Mu!
On the way to southern Xinjiang, Jinghui read a lot of information about the Yu family. After he came to southern Xinjiang, he also heard a lot of rumors about the Yu family.
And a lot of rumors about the Yu family involve one person, the son of the Yu family!
But during the period of time he came, he had never seen Gongzi Mu.
He thought that he would not see this person during his time, but now that he did, it meant that he had encountered something that he might not have encountered.
Gongzi Mu obviously knew Jinghui's identity, and when he saw Jinghui, he was slightly stunned, but only for that moment: "Shizi." ”
"Childe Mu?" Although Jinghui was quite sure of the other party's identity in his heart, he still had a slightly questioning tone when he was tempted.
"Yes." Childe Mu did not contain any emotions.
"This pastoral word is related to my second brother." Jinghui smiled.
Gongzi Mu just looked at him quietly: "Why is the prince here?" I remember that the courtyard where the prince lived was quite far away. ”
"I can't sleep at night, go out for a walk." Although Jinghui answered Gongzimu's question without concealment, he was skeptical about whether Gongzi Mu believed it or not.
It's too much of a coincidence, after all.
"And what is Your Excellency doing here? In the middle of the night, don't you rest? ”
"Naturally, it was on the orders of the head of the family." Gongzi Mu then explained: "This courtyard is called a pharmacy, and it is the place where the famous master of the Yu family refining the secret key. Due to some accidents not long ago, I was temporarily idle. ”
"But why is this so desolate?"
Gongzi Mu laughed softly, as if he was laughing at Jinghui's innocence: "The Yu family started by poison, and most of the things refined by the people in the house are poisons. And this courtyard refines poisons all year round, and often does some experiments to test the medicinal properties. Naturally, there will be no grass here, and if there is grass, it will be terrible. ”
"How so?" Jinghui grew up in the imperial capital since he was a child, and he is really not very proficient in grass and trees.
"Most of the things like pharmaceuticals can't be done at the first time, but even discarded potions are toxic, so they can't be disposed of casually."
"So you poured all the discarded potions into this courtyard and around it?" Jinghui couldn't believe it.
It's no wonder that there is no grass growing here.
Although Jinghui is not very proficient in the matter of plants and trees, he also knows that only poisonous weeds that contain poison can live in the face of poison, rather than wilting and dying.
"What about the dregs?" Jinghui asked.
"Nature is buried in the ground."
If it was Jing Mu or Yu Wenxi, or even anyone who had dealt with the pharmacy, they would know that Gongzi Mu's words were all lies.
It is indeed common for new poisons to fail, but these failed medicines did not fall to the ground as Gongzi Mu said.
but into the bellies of those who live in this courtyard.
This courtyard is called a pharmacy, but it is not a place where the people in the house develop poisons, but a place where the poisoners are held.
The reason why there is no grass in this courtyard is because every inch of the land in this courtyard is covered with green bricks, so that the water can wash away the blood spit on the ground by the poisoner.
Green bricks are not ordinary green bricks, although they look exactly the same as other green bricks, they are made of special soil. The blood of poisonous people is usually highly poisonous, and if the poisonous blood falls on the ground, the place stained with the poisonous blood will inevitably turn black in an instant. But when it comes to this special green brick, this will not be the case.
If there is a medicine person in this world, it will poison people, just like this world is divided into yin and yang and black and white.
The blood of the medicine man is hard to find, because using it as a medicine guide can bring a dying person back to life.
And the blood that poisons people is a kind of poison that has no solution, and it is the product of the evil nature of human nature.
As for the poisonous people, in addition to the pain of eating the bones of insects and ants day after day, they also have to bear the malicious slander against them in this world.
As for the Jade family, who are the culprit, knowing their existence, will only see them as a garbage dump for disposing of failed poisons, or a medicine jar for storing poisons, not a person.
No matter how fresh a person is, when he enters the pharmacy, most of them will describe it as withered, and there are only a few people who survive.
Gongzi Mu did have something to do when he appeared here in the middle of the night, but it was not on the orders of the head of the Yu family.
Since he has done things for the Yu family, he has made many suggestions, but he has never participated in them.
First, he has a special identity and is not good at appearing in front of people.
Second, the head of the Yu family didn't believe him, and it was helpless to use him back then. To this day, he has done many things for the Yu family, and it has taken many years to do things for the Yu family, and the head of the Yu family has never trusted him.
And he never had the heart to join the Yu family.
It's all about the urgency of the situation.
"And what are you doing now?" A person who appears somewhere alone in the dead of night tells Jinghui that the truth may not be what he says it is.
"It's inconvenient to disclose it to outsiders." Gongzi Mu said in a businesslike tone.
After a while, Gongzi Mu said with a very concerned attitude: "The night is deep and heavy, the prince might as well go back and rest." Once you get sick in southern Xinjiang, it is not as easy to get better as in the imperial capital. Just look at the second son. ”
There seems to be an allusion.
"What did you say?" Jing Hui naturally knew that the second son that Gongzi Mu said was Jing Mu, which was the name of Jing Mu by the Yu family.
"I once heard that the second prince was in good health when he was in the imperial capital." Gongzi Mu said lightly.
"Yes, it's not bad." Jing Hui is a few years older than Jing Mu, and when Jing Mu left the imperial capital, Jing Hui already had a memory.
Jing Hui suddenly had a terrible guess in his heart, and he asked in a trembling voice, "What do you want to say?" ”
