XXXVII: Poisoning
"Go and check Xu Qingxia's whereabouts in Buyang the year before last, the more detailed the better."
Xu slept late yesterday, and He Ge had a headache when he got up in the morning. Ke went to the pharmacy to get the medicine for her. On the way back, I met Fuzhe.
"Why is Childe suddenly interested in Xu Darthead?" In the past, no matter what Ke's orders were, Fu Zhe never asked, just did things, because Ke's actions would never be too far from the goal. But today, a person who seems to be unable to hit the eight poles suddenly appeared, which is somewhat unexpected. However, Fuzhe asked and regretted it a little. He has been by Ke's side since he was a child, knows his temperament, and is most disgusted by the behavior of others who try to spy on his thoughts, even if it is a little bit.
Sure enough, Ke Zhiliu's hand stopped in mid-air, and his eyes revealed coldness. Fuzhe was silent.
"Be more discreet."
"Yes."
Why did you suddenly want to check Xu Qingxia? That's thanks to the fact that he sent it to the door himself.
Last night, Hege said that Xu Qingxia and Zhong Hao had met an immortal jump in Gu County. At the beginning, Zhong Hao studied in Buyang, because he got a gemstone glass mirror made in the Tang Dynasty, he specially copied it out, and sent someone to show it to him. also emphasized that he came out this time to gain a lot, listing a bunch of treasures. And it was Xu Qingxia who escorted him on this trip. Zhong Hao also said in the letter that Xu Qingxia rushed to Buyang halfway because of a batch of goods in Buyang, and he was bored waiting in Gu County alone. So Xu Qingxia didn't know that Zhong Hao had contacted him at all.
From Buyang to Guxian, it will take two days to speed up the horse. How could Xu Qingxia appear in Drum County a day later? So what did he do in Buyang in the two days he erased?
In addition, he actually took the initiative to show favor to himself in private, so his previous care for He Ge may not be the ultimate goal of He Ge, but himself. Last night, he disturbed his mind with a hosta, and now that he calmed down, he realized that he had underestimated this dart in the past. It seems that he has a lot to do.
He Ge's headache was worse than expected, and it was even hot for a while. Ke helped He Ge up and hugged him in his arms, scooped up a spoonful of medicinal soup and blew it, sipped it to make sure it was not hot, and then sent it to He Ge's mouth.
"Hey, it's so bitter." He Ge had a high fever and was weak, leaning softly in Ke's arms, but he still had the strength to dislike the decoction and it was hard to drink. After taking a sip, he shook his head, his brows twisted.
"Good medicine is bitter. How can there be medicine that is not bitter, and only when you drink the medicine will you get better. Coaxing her was a rare patience, and He Ge was also quite moved, although she was reluctant, she also obediently took the medicine.
Although I drank the medicine, my illness did not improve. The Dutch fans were stunned and fell asleep for two days, but their consciousness became less and less awake.
Ke also didn't have a good rest for two whole days, and it was normal to take the pulse, and I invited many doctors to come and see, but I don't know what the reason is.
"How's it going, or is it not good?" Zhong Hao came in all the way, took off his cloak and handed it to the small hall.
In the past few days, the autumn breeze has gradually risen, and the night has become more and more cool. Zhong Hao has cleaned up the dart gate since that day and has established a great prestige. Song Menli gradually spoke with full weight. His father was more relieved to leave everything to him. He was so busy that he was running around. As soon as I returned to Duancheng today, I heard that He Ge was seriously ill, and he rushed over without touching the ground.
Ke sat at the table, holding his head with one hand, and when he heard Zhong Hao's voice, he raised his head slightly, "She's poisoned." ”
"Poisoned!" Zhong Hao took two steps closely, stretched out his hand to take the pulse of Hege, was silent for a moment, sat down solemnly at the table, looked at Ke and said, "Is it him?" ”
Ke shook his head, "No, if it's him, he must be coming for me, and he will never affect others." ”
"Who's that? What is the solution to this poison? ”
"I've tried everything I can, but it didn't work." Ke's voice was sour and lacklustre. He got up and walked to the side of the bed and gently tucked the corners of the quilt for Hege. Seeing that her face was even redder, it must have been a temperature repeated. Reached out and brushed her forehead, and sure enough, it was hot. Ke turned around and wanted to fetch water, but he didn't sleep for a few days, his mind was dizzy, and he almost tripped if he was not careful. Fortunately, Zhong Hao reached out and helped.
"Eh, I've never seen you lose your temper like this. This little girl is really charming. I'll just arrange for some people to do this work. You hurry to rest and rest. As he spoke, he took Ke out, "I have already informed the chief physician of the clan to return home, he is the best at all kinds of incurable diseases, and he is also very good at detoxification, there must be a way." You can rest assured. ”
At the door, the small hall stood respectfully with seven or eight servants, and when he saw Zhong Hao and Ke coming out, he stepped forward and said, "Young master, everyone is ready." Mr. Chief Doctor will be here tomorrow. ”
"Okay, you wait carefully. The errand is done, and the young master will reward him heavily. "Zhong Hao is a careful person, he thought that there would be insufficient manpower here in the library before he came, so he made arrangements in advance.
There have never been so many people in the library, and it can't be lively all at once. Zhong Hao finished ordering the chapel in the courtyard, but when he returned to the house, he saw Ke still sitting in a daze.
"Why don't you sleep for a while, looking at your appearance, you also worry a lot about that girl. Now that I'm here, what else do you have to worry about? Zhong Hao poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ke. As soon as he lifted the corner of his clothes, he sat down, "I really didn't see it before, you are actually a love saint, but everyone can deserve it, you, I'm afraid you can't." ”
Ke bent the corners of his mouth and brought out a faint smile, which was regarded as a response.
"Well, maybe this girl is greedy outside and eats the wrong thing. When the chief doctor comes tomorrow, he will know what kind of poison it is. "Zhong Hao is not good at comforting people, so he will end in three or two sentences." The day after tomorrow, a caravan will come to the city, and it is said that it will be on a large scale, and it will stay here for a month. The leader of this caravan was not familiar with each other, but was a human being. ”
At this point in Zhong Hao's words, Ke had already nodded knowingly. "I already received news about this caravan a month ago." He took a sip of tea and said lightly: "I am helpless against the poison of Hege, so I can only entrust it to you, the chief doctor of the Song Mansion." This caravan is large and crowded, so I want to leave Duancheng for a while and go to Fanjing Mountain to live for a while. Hege, please take care of it. ”
"What, you're going to get out?" Zhong Hao turned the celadon teacup in his hand and looked Ke up and down, which seemed to be very different from the one who was usually calm and relaxed. Although it was right to be cautious, it was a little disappointing that just one caravan made him so nervous. He has always admired Ke's steadfastness and calmness, but did he look away? As a businessman, he instinctively prefers a lucrative deal, and if the future is bleak, his interest will be greatly reduced.
"King Mo Lan is terminally ill, and Prince Xuan is impatient to kill me," Ke saw through Zhong Hao's thoughts at a glance, "This caravan is coming from the north, so I have to guard against it." ”
Zhong Hao turned the tea cup in his hand, and felt that Ke's words were also reasonable, the Molan royal court was turbulent, and the border was not peaceful, and a caravan suddenly came at this time, which was indeed suspicious. "That's true." As if remembering something, he asked, "Are you going to find that person?" ”
If you don't speak, you acquiesce. Although Zhong Hao didn't know who that person was, he only knew that that person lived in Fanjing Mountain all the year round, and for so many years, everything related to that person should be isolated. That person seems to exist, and it doesn't seem to exist. Zhong Hao once wondered if he was thinking too much, maybe he was an old slave who lived in the mountains to guard the tea garden. Today, that man is very different to Ke.
