Chu Liu was stunned by Su Li's question, she looked at Chu Huai'an who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and the whole person was panicked to the extreme: "I...... I haven't met anyone, I've been sick lately, and I haven't been anywhere else, I'm poisoned, and Your Majesty won't let me walk around casually, so I reluctantly agreed to let me come and see him today, and I don't know what's going on! ”

Chu Liu's voice trembled, and he wanted to get closer to Chu Huai'an, but was pulled back by Su Li two steps.

"Madam, it's still uncertain what caused Hou Ye's poison to intensify, for the sake of Hou Ye's safety, please don't approach Hou Ye for the time being!"

Su Li was very calm, and the words she said were so rational that they were almost indifferent, but they were like a piece of driftwood being tightly grasped by Chu Liu: "Ah Li, you tell me, it's okay, right?" This poison won't kill him, will it? ”

No, this poison will turn him into a pool of blood after death, and he won't even be able to leave his bones!

Su Li pursed her lips and did not tell Chu Liu about this result.

She pulled Chu Liu to the door again: "Madam, think about it carefully, not only today, have you met anyone or used anything special during the period since Master Hou returned to Beijing?" ”

"I didn't, I've been taking pills......"

Chu Liushi shook his head, fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead, Yue Yan took out a silver needle to help Chu Huai'an apply the needle, the silver light refracted by the silver needle shook Chu Liu's dizziness for a while, she shook her whole person, leaned on Su Li's shoulder weakly, took out a box of plaster from her sleeve and smeared it on her temples.

Su Li was very close to her, and she could smell the cool and refreshing smell of the ointment, cool, like some kind of herb.

"Madame, what is this?"

Su Li grabbed Chu Liu's hand and asked, Chu Liu had not recovered from the dizziness just now, and replied in a weak voice: "It was the refreshing ointment prescribed to me by Imperial Doctor Liu, I have been using it for this time, and I said that I have no spirit a few days ago, and it is also useful for this, and he was fine at that time." ”

The box of ointment was used up in a small pit, it can be seen that it has been used for a while, but Su Li is still not very relieved, took the box of ointment and threw it to Yue Yan: "Sister, see if this ointment is compatible with Hou Ye's poison." ”

Hearing Su Li's words, Chu Liu's face turned even paler, and the person trembled: "Yes...... Is it Imperial Doctor Liu's hands and feet? But I don't have a grudge against him! ”

"Not necessarily, the pharmacology of some drugs will clash with other drugs, maybe it's just an unintentional mistake, and this is just my guess now."

Su Li patted Chu Liu's hand to reassure, Chu Liu's was still panicked, from Su Li's series of reactions just now, she faintly realized that it was very unsafe in the palace now, otherwise Su Li would not be so careful to watch out for everyone!

The palace guards are the most stringent place in Yuanzhao, and even here is not safe, where else is safe? Will she be able to get better?

The more Chu Liu thought about it, the more terrifying he felt, and Su Li had to open his mouth to change the topic: "Madam, has that Imperial Doctor Liu been treating you for the past few months?" I remember that Imperial Doctor Gao used to see you more often. ”

Chu Huai'an has been taking care of Su Wanyue in the palace all these years, in addition to being reliable, his medical skills should also be very reliable, this time he changed the diagnosis and treatment, is it Chu Lingzhao's meaning or is it just a coincidence?

"It has always been Imperial Doctor Gao who has seen me, but after the envoy group entered Beijing, the hospital was not staffed enough, and Imperial Doctor Gao was too busy, so Imperial Doctor Liu came to show me, he was very good, and nothing went wrong."

Su Li frowned, although there was no direct causal relationship between these two things, she still faintly felt that the timing of Imperial Doctor Liu's visit to Chu Liu's doctor was a bit too coincidental.

"What was Imperial Doctor Liu's background before? Does it have a high status in Tai Hospital? ”

Seeing that Su Li asked more and more deeply, Chu Liu's family became more and more uneasy, she was very afraid that it was because of her own reasons that Chu Huai'an was hovering on the edge of life and death.

"Imperial Doctor Liu is from a poor family, and his medical skills in the Tai Hospital are also good, and if the Queen Mother is unwell on weekdays, he goes to see the Queen Mother."

See the Queen Mother!

Su Li's mind flashed, just at this time Yue Yan stood up, just about to speak, but saw Su Li shook his head almost imperceptibly, Chu Liu didn't notice Su Li's small movements, and hurriedly rushed to Yue Yan and said, "County Lord, how is it?" ”

"Although Master Hou's poison has accelerated the attack, I have already thought of a way to control it, and Madam doesn't have to worry."

"That's this ointment......" Chu Liu wanted to speak and stopped, a little afraid to know the truth.

Knowing what she wanted to ask, Yue Yan shook her head, stepped forward and returned the box of ointment to Chu Liu's: "There is nothing wrong with this ointment, if Madam has been insomnia and dreaming a lot recently, it is best to have less incense, relax your mood, don't be too nervous and worried." ”

Yue Yan's voice was very soft, and his words were full of concern, poking all the symptoms of Chu Liu's family, Chu Liu's eyes were hot, and tears fell: "I am like this now, how can I feel at ease......"

Chu Liu's choked and couldn't cry, Yue Yan said in a low voice: "Madam, don't worry, the Hou Ye is not a deadly poison. ”

"That ......"

Chu Liu wanted to ask something else, but Su Li said at the right time: "Madam, you go back and wait first, the county lord must have discovered the problem and is going to prescribe a new prescription for Hou Ye to boil medicine!" ”

Su Li's voice was equally gentle, but there was a toughness that could not be refused, Chu Liu heard that she didn't want to let herself stay here any longer, she looked at Su Li with teary eyes, her expression was a little confused, Su Li lifted her sleeve to help her wipe her tears, whispered in her ear, and hugged her falsely: "Madame, don't worry too much, if someone asks Madame about the situation of the marquis, Madame will answer truthfully." ”

The implication of these words was extremely strong, and it suddenly distracted Chu Liu's attention, she stopped crying, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, then I'll go back first." ”

As she spoke, her eyes were extremely firm, like the conversation she had with Su Li before she was taken into the palace, the more she got to this time, the more she had to be strong and cheer up, after all, crying can't solve the problem.

Su Li watched Chu Liu's being helped out of the Tai Hospital by the palace people, and at the same time made a gesture to the void, and the secret guard who had been hiding in the shadows quickly flashed over and followed Chu Liu.

After doing this, Su Li closed the door, turned her head to look at Yue Yan, and before she could ask, Yue Yan spoke first: "There is indeed something wrong with this ointment, it is it that causes the speed of Hou Ye's poison to intensify!" But that's exactly what happened, I found that one of the medicines in this medicine may be able to be used as a medicine to make an antidote! ”

"Is it a drug that can completely detoxify, not just suppress toxicity?" Su Li asked, her tone was uncontrollably excited, if she could develop an antidote, at least she wouldn't be as passive as she is now.

"Yes!" Yue Yan nodded affirmatively: "But Master Hou's current situation is very critical, I can't test him at will, I need to find someone else to test the medicine!" ”

At the time, Dali Temple prison.

From the narrow cell door, which allowed only one person to pass through, came the man's restrained and stoic snort, as if he had endured great unbearable pain, and the hearing made people feel creepy and chills in their backs.

Su Zhan squatted on the edge of the cell door, his eyes widened, and he looked at Hu He nervously.

The cell was dim and there was no daylight, Su Zhan had no concept of time, he didn't know how long he had been locked up in it, except for the day he first came in, Hu He never said a word to him.

There was a small baffle under the cell door, and the jailer would push open the small baffle every day to send food in, the food was delicious, Su Zhan would eat very seriously at first, and then gradually lost his appetite.

He didn't know what he had done wrong to be locked up in such a place with such a so-called uncle.

Uncle was not friendly at all, and ignored him, he couldn't do what his father gave him to do.

Squeak!

The small partition opened again, and the prison head put the food in, Su Zhan glanced at it and didn't move.

He hadn't eaten for two meals.

"Hey ......"

I don't know how long it took, Hu He finally spoke, Su Zhan lifted his eyes and looked at him, his little face was tense and he didn't say a word, he was actually very tired and hungry, and he didn't want to say a word.

"Eat!"

Hu He ordered, his breathing was very urgent, he was hungry longer than Su Zhan, and at this time, his tone naturally inevitably leaked weakness, and there was no longer the initial deterrence.

"Are you hungry?"

Su Zhan asked softly, his voice was very dry, so his voice was also very hoarse.

Hu He didn't answer him, he struggled twice, and the chains on his body rattled.

"Do you want to get out of here?"

Su Zhan asked again, he was still young, and he didn't have the strong willpower like Hu He to resist the desire to talk to people after a few days of not talking.

"Less nonsense, eat!"

Saying this, Hu He cursed in a low voice, he was actually in pain, the bones were hurting, and the meridians in his body seemed to be cut by countless sharp blades, he knew that he was poisoned, he had experienced this feeling several times, and each time he could deeply appreciate what it meant to be in pain.

It was a pain that made the soul tremble, and no one could resist it.

But he couldn't howl as he did before, he would scare the child.

"I can put you down!"

He heard the child say very calmly, and for a moment, Hu He felt that this child was hungry and crazy!

Such astonishing words even made him forget the pain on his body for a short time, he looked up at Su Zhan, and couldn't stop sneering: "Do you know what the name of the lock on my body is and who invented it?" ”

"I don't know."

Su Zhan shook his head honestly, Hu He licked his lips, thinking of what he was about to say, his chest was inexplicably filled with a sense of pride.

"This is the nine-curved lock invented by Gu Yunxiu, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple twenty years ago, that is, your grandfather, no one in the world can open it without a key......"

Before Hu He's words were finished, Su Zhan took out a strangely shaped and shining silver key from his sleeve pocket.

"Uncle, are you talking about this key?"

“……”

Hu He's expression collapsed for a moment, he looked at Su Zhan, and was silent for a while before asking, "Where did you get the key?" ”

"Your Majesty gave it."

“……”

"Uncle, do you want to come down?"

Su Zhan continued to ask, his expression was extremely innocent.

To be honest, Hu Heben thought that he would not have any other emotions in his heart except hatred, and at this time, Su Zhan was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, why didn't you take out the key earlier?

Xu is special induction between blood, Su Zhan guessed Hu He's inner thoughts now, and said seriously: "This key was given to me by my father begging His Majesty, he wanted me to sit down with you and talk well, but you are too fierce, I am scared, so I have not taken it out, and you have made my father suffer so badly, this is the punishment you deserve." ”

He is so young, but his view of right and wrong is already very clear and sound, in his opinion, Hu He injured his father, even if this person is an uncle, it can't easily erase such a mistake.

"If you dare to let me down, I'll kill you!"

Hu He threatened viciously, gritted his teeth, Su Zhan hesitated, ignored him, first squatted down to help him open the shackles on his feet, and then grabbed the chain and climbed up to untie the handcuffs on his right hand.

Crash!

The shackles fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, Hu He fell to the ground weakly, and the shackles of his left hand were not opened, so he did not fall to the ground.

"Uncle, are you alright?"

"Get out!"

Hu He scolded, Su Zhan pursed his lips, and was about to climb to the other side to help Hu He open the last shackles, and suddenly there was a sound of the key twisting outside the cell door.

Who is coming?

Su Zhan turned his head to look at the door, and the action of unlocking stopped.

The next moment, the cell door was pushed open, and a man dressed as a jailer walked in.

"You ......"

As soon as Su Zhan said a word, the whole person was pulled by Hu He's collar and carried behind his back, the jailer raised his head slightly, his eyes were cold, and he saw that Hu He's hands and feet were unshackled, and his brows were slightly furrowed, obviously he didn't expect to see such a scene after he came in.

"What a time!"

Hu He smiled and spoke, the jailer closed the cell door, and pulled out a bright sword from his waist, Hu He did not have any weapon at hand, and with a hook of his toes, he kicked up the shackles on the ground and held it in his hand.

"The poison has attacked, Dashao can still stand steadily, and his willpower is really different from ordinary people!" The man said that he raised his sword and attacked, Hu He did not panic, shook the shackles, and twisted the man's sword together: "That's nature, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't be alive today!" ”

"Isn't Da Shao going to avenge the Gu family? If you die, the king will overthrow Yuanzhao for Da Shao, and the great revenge will naturally be avenged, and Da Shao should go! ”

The man persuaded, holding the hilt of the sword and turning it vigorously, in the end, it was poisonous, and the pain was terrible, Hu He didn't have that much strength to restrain him, he broke free, pulled out the sword, and the next moment, the sharp sword body penetrated the shoulder.

Hu He could even feel the cold temperature of the sword body, and he took a step back and knelt on the ground, but because his left hand was still handcuffed, he couldn't completely kneel on the ground.

"Da Shao, don't worry, I will avenge the Gu family!"

As he spoke, the man drew his sword, trying to seal his throat with a sword and end Hu He's life, but a meat ball suddenly rose into the air and kicked him twice in the face.

"Bad guys! Don't hit my uncle! ”

Unguarded, the man was kicked back, and Su Zhan landed steadily with the help of a backflip, his little face was completely upright.

The man stood still with a hot nose, but when he raised his hand to touch it, there was a nosebleed, which showed that Su Zhan's two feet just now were far stronger than normal children.

"Uncle? The Gu family still has blood? ”

The man was puzzled, Hu He held his breath and hugged Su Zhan into his arms, his left hand was shackled and he was unable to move, and he was just about to abandon his left hand to break free, Su Zhan hugged his neck and shouted: "Uncle, don't!" ”

As the words fell, the cell door opened again, and a spear entered, and the cold head of the spear pierced through the shoulder, nailing the man to the wall!

"Daddy!"

Su Zhan opened his mouth in surprise, Lu Ji came in from outside the prison door with a solemn face, and the man subconsciously wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide, but Lu Ji suddenly removed his chin.

Seeing Lu Ji, Hu He suddenly lost his strength and fell forward, Lu Ji stepped forward in three steps and two steps, took Su Zhan with one hand, and grabbed Hu He's arm with the other.

"It's all right!"

Lu Ji opened his mouth, and in one sentence, he said it to Su Zhan, and it seemed to say it to Hu He.

"Daddy, are you here to take me home?"

Su Zhan hugged Lu Ji and didn't let go, his voice was choked and full of grievances, he was locked in prison for several days for no reason, and he was semi-forced to admit an uncle, although he called Hu He uncle many times, there was a knot in his heart that did not pass.

His mother and uncle were too far away from him, they were people who only existed in his father's mouth, and Su Zhan never thought that one day he would see his real uncle who was alive.

This uncle is very different from what he imagined, his image is very terrifying, and his personality is very bad, even if he tries hard, he can't feel a sense of affection for this uncle.

Lu Ji raised his hand and pinched the back of his neck, calmed his emotions, and said in a soft voice: "Uncle's hand hurts, can you help uncle open the shackles on his hand first?" ”

Su Zhan was keenly aware that he was exposed, and he didn't put his uncle down early as his father instructed.

Although Lu Ji didn't mean to reprimand Su Zhan, Su Zhan still hugged his neck and admitted his mistake upright: "Daddy, I'm sorry, I didn't listen to you, I don't understand what you said, I'm still angry with my uncle, so I didn't let him go before." ”

At that time, time was urgent, and Lu Ji actually didn't have time to explain too much reason to Su Zhan, it was too heavy and too difficult to understand for a five-and-a-half-year-old child.

"Daddy doesn't blame you, go ahead."

Lu Ji said and put Su Zhan on the wooden frame, Su Zhan lay on it and took the key to unlock it again, and as soon as the shackles were unfastened, Hu He immediately collapsed to the ground.

"Hmm!"

He snorted in pain, and the whole person curled up in a ball, and the meridians all over his body swelled in an invisible place, as if they were about to burst.

Zhao Hanzhuo personally led people to escort the person who had just come to exterminate the mouth for interrogation, and said to Lu Ji before leaving: "The decree has just come from the palace, and General Lao Fu personally took him to the Tai Hospital, if anyone dares to obstruct it along the way, it will be killed!" ”

Gao Dahai only gave Hu He medicine once, but he went to the prison every day to change Lu Ji's medicine, so Lu Ji's injuries have healed fifty percent, Hu He leaned on his shoulder and kept panting, this situation is very similar to the scene when they were at the border and supported each other to defend against the enemy.

Hu He thought about it and wanted to laugh at himself, the hand hanging down his side was suddenly lightly hooked, and he lowered his head, Su Zhan's chubby little hand grabbed his little thumb tightly.

The little hand was very warm, even if it was only a small finger grasping him, it was so warm that he was greedy.

"Uncle, I'm angry now, let's get together, you can call me Ah Zhan in the future, don't fight with your father, and don't say bad things about Aunt Su, in the future, when you are old and can't walk, I will give you a pension and send you to the end, I know where my mother is buried, and then I can bury you next to me, so that if someone bullies my mother below, you can protect her."

Su Zhan muttered, although his tone was still childish, the words he said made people angry and funny.

In the past few days, Hu He has already understood his temperament, and he didn't care about him, just turned his head and said to Lu Ji: "Ah Li is not here, that's how you teach children?" ”

"I grew up with my father at the border since I was a child, and I am not as knowledgeable as my eldest brother, if you think I can't teach him well, I don't mind if you teach him personally."

Lu Ji generously admitted that he didn't teach his children well, and the 'eldest brother' also called very smoothly, Su Zhan's ears were sharp, and he immediately shook Hu He's hand to cooperate: "Mmmmmmmm, if my uncle is willing to teach me, I will definitely learn hard!" ”

Hu He: "......"

Do you father and son dare to be more shameless? I'm serious about hating the world, and I'm a very dangerous person!

"Uncle, I know you can't forgive the person who hurt your mother, Daddy won't forgive, Ah Zhan won't forgive, there are so many of them, and they are so fierce, uncle, you don't want to take revenge alone, Ah Zhan and Dad will be with you to take revenge!" Su Zhan clenched his little fist and said categorically.

The little brows furrowed together, trying to make himself look a little fierce, a little more intimidating.

However, he did not understand what hatred is, nor how pathetic it is for a person to live in the world with hatred on his back.

He didn't know how precious he was in the eyes of those who couldn't break free from the abyss of hatred but still loved him.

Even if his appearance is ruined and his name is changed, the blood that belongs to the Gu family in his bones is still flowing, how can the soul called Gu Zhi, who is twisted and roaring in pain day and night, allow his innocence to be eroded by hatred?

The poison became more and more severe, and Hu He was so painful that he couldn't help but bite Lu Ji on the shoulder.

He bit hard, and soon his mouth was bloody.

"Do you know why I do so much for Hu Ren?"

"I don't know."

Lu Ji was frank, and his heart tightened for a moment. Although he didn't know what Gu Jiong was plotting, he could be sure that by making such a choice, Gu Jiong's inner suffering was no less than when he chose to take the child by caesarean section.

Gu Jiong has the uprightness and arrogance of the Gu family handed down through the generations in his bones, otherwise he would not have chosen to give up returning to Beijing for revenge, if he was not forced into a desperate situation, he would not allow himself to become the person he is now.

It was so embarrassing, so embarrassing that he didn't even want to take his old name again.

This is the result of Lu Ji's careful reflection in the past few days, the reason why Gu Ji changed his name and surname was not because he felt that Yuan Zhao was not worthy of his name, but because he felt that he was not worthy of the surname of the Gu family.

He violated the ancestral teachings of the Gu family, and also smeared the ancestors of the Gu family, changing his name and surname can cover his last trace of humble self-esteem.

"The Yuanzhao royal family should die, this is what they owe the Gu family thirty-seven lives, Ku Keduo and Hu Ren should die, this is what they owe to He'er and those innocent women at the beginning!" Hu He opened his mouth, his tone was extremely calm, and these accounts were actually very clear in his heart.

"I can't kill them all one by one by myself, the best way is to let them eat dogs."

"So you surrender to him and provide him with all the information about Yuanzhao?" Lu Ji couldn't help but ask, there were not many opportunities to make Hu He speak, he had to seize the opportunity to ask for the most effective information.

"It's not about surrendering, it's about being controlled." Hu He corrected Lu Ji's statement: "Those who are in high positions are inevitably suspicious, and Kutar will not believe a person who easily surrenders to him, in order to control me, he gouged out one of my eyes alive, and gave me the most poisonous poison of their royal family!" ”

"And then? After winning his trust, you instigated the An family to plot rebellion? ”

Hu He was silent, and Lu Ji turned his head to look at him, just in time to meet his cold and dark eyes, where all the unknown painful struggles and tortures in the past five years were stored.

"I can tell you what I've done for the Hu people in the past five years, but I have one request."

"What?"

"No matter whether the Hu people surrender and sue for peace in the end, I will cut it with a thousand more knives!"

Ku Keduo, the most proud third son of Ku Tartar, is very similar to Ku Tatar's temperament, but he is more heroic than Ku Tatar, and Lu Ji's battle of the gods five years ago is also the battle of the gods of Ku Keduo.

In that battle, Ku Keduo plundered the materials and young girls of Lu Ji's town guarding the city with minimal casualties, although he was later counterattacked by Lu Ji's madness, but after this battle, Ku Keduo became the first warrior of the Hu people, and his status in the Hu people even faintly surpassed that of Kutar.

This is also an important reason why Hu Tartar dared to agree to Chu Lingzhao and go to Yuanzhao in person.

Kutar had great confidence in Kukoto, and he believed that even if he left the territory, Yuanzhao would not dare to send troops to attack them easily.

Hu Keduo was the one who humiliated Gu Li back then, and deliberately left Gu Li's body there for Lu Ji to see.

Now that the situation of Hu Ren and Yuan Zhao tearing each other apart has been formed, even if Hu He is now against the water, the two parties will be greatly injured, and the reason why he still struggles so hard and refuses to fall down is that he is still obsessed here.

He wants far Showa and Hu people to be at peace, and he wants to feed the dogs more than Kuke.

If Hu Ren wins this time, he is a hero, at the celebration banquet, he will attack Hu Keduo, if Hu people lose this time, Hu Ren is a water dog, in the process of Hu people escaping, he has more opportunities to kill Hu Keduo with his own hands.

But now that he is on the verge of defection and betrays the Hu people, there will be a third possibility.

If the Hu people surrender, for the sake of the harmony between Yuanzhao and the Hu people, it is very likely that the Yuanzhao royal family will protect the Hu people for the sake of the overall situation.

He doesn't care if the two sides are in harmony or not, he cares if Ku Keduo will die.

"I promise you!"

Lu Ji said without hesitation, Hu He stopped: "What if Emperor Yuanzhao orders you to collect your troops and never allow a war against the Hu people?" ”

"I'll chop Kukodo with my own hands and crush him to ashes!"

"Do you dare to disobey?" Hu He squinted his eyes, his expression was full of suspicion and provocation, and Lu Ji's face did not change: "I dare!" ”

The men of the Lu family have always kept their promises.

After staring at each other for a moment, Hu He looked away.

"Ten days later, Kukeduo will gather 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack the border pass!"
