Chapter 293: What a Big Deal

This night is **, this night is painful, this night is confused, this night is inexplicable.

In fact, Liu Qingqing herself didn't know how she was doing that night, because when she woke up, she found that the prince had left. Looking at the empty quilt around her, Liu Qingqing felt a sense of loneliness, which she hadn't had before, but now it hit her heart all of a sudden.

The strong need to be lonely, and only loneliness can make the strong stronger.

Liu Qingqing comforted herself like this, but looking at the large room and the cold atmosphere, Liu Qingqing was still disappointed.

Because the prince didn't say a word to her, the prince didn't ask her why she had to stay and enter his east palace. Just yesterday, Liu Qingqing practiced how to answer the prince in the sedan chair more than once, so as to arouse the prince's curiosity and not bore the prince, but now she realized that her efforts yesterday were in vain, because the prince had never spoken to her at all, and the prince just took possession of her body, just like she could do whatever it took to stay in the East Palace, the prince didn't care about everything about her, and it was just logical to let her enter the East Palace.

Do you regret it now?

Liu Qingqing asked herself.

The answer is yes, no regrets. Liu Qingqing never regrets doing things, even if her head is broken and bleeding, as long as this is her choice, she will not regret it, and she will not die until she dies.

The fact that the prince did not speak to himself does not mean that the prince is disgusted with himself, otherwise he would not possess himself. This time in the eyes of the prince, although Liu Qingqing did not achieve the results she imagined, she didn't want to give up like this, because her goal was not only to live in the East Palace, but also many, many more.

Therefore, she was not discouraged, but chose to continue to struggle, and she did not believe that her efforts were not reported.

She wants to get to know the prince, study the prince, and make the prince like her, until she can't do without her.

Women are crazy creatures.

Liu Qingqing said that she would do it, she turned over and got up, washed and dressed, and prepared to meet the prince.

At this time, the maid walked in and told her that the prince was dealing with important business in the study, let her eat by herself, and take her back when she returned to Chang'an.

Liu Qingqing's body was shocked, and his face was a little pale.

Because the prince seemed to know everything, knew what she was thinking, and even when she didn't act, the prince had already given the order to strangle her alive.

Such a prince is too terrifying, right?

For the first time, Liu Qingqing felt the true feeling of the word horror. She no longer dared to act recklessly, but followed the advice of the maid, and stayed in the house with peace of mind after eating.

It's not that Liu Qingqing is willing to do this, no, she just wants to be quiet and think of a way, she is very smart and knows that the prince has been paying attention to her, so she doesn't want to anger the prince's rebels at this time.

In the study, Li Hong was very clear about Liu Qingqing's every move.

"Is she obedient?" Li Hong asked a maid.

The maid replied cautiously, "She has listened to the orders of His Highness and is resting in the house. ”

"You can give her whatever she wants, but remember, just don't let her walk around the house at will, or leave the house." Li Hong thought for a while and replied, he didn't want to control Liu Qingqing, but, he wanted to use this means to tell Liu Qingqing to pay attention to her proportions, not to think too much, and let Liu Qingqing know that he was the head in the East Palace, and not to anger his rebels, otherwise it would not be good for her.

Originally, he should have returned to the East Palace to do these things, but after thinking about it, he still did it now.

Because he was afraid of returning to the East Palace, it would be difficult for him to clean up Liu Qingqing alone after having all the girls.

"Yes." The maid received the order and hurried away.

"Have Cheng Dazhi and Wei Chixun arrived?" Li Hongxia asked Chen Gong.

"I guess I'll be there in the afternoon." Chen Gong replied, "Your Highness, about Ding Li's matter, will we inform Xu Wenqiang now?" ”

"What are our enemies doing now?" Li Hong asked.

"It seems to be silent, and I don't know what to do anymore." Chen Gong replied that he was not responsible for the news of Luoyang City, so naturally he was not very clear about the situation of the Luoyang secret guards, and only when Wei Chi Xun arrived in Luoyang could he provide Li Hong with this information faster and better.

In fact, when Li Hong set off for Luoyang, he thought about transferring Wei Chi Xunyan to his side, but when he thought that he was going to assist Di Renjie in handling Liu Ju's affairs in Chang'an, Li Hong couldn't help but think in his heart.

Now, if he wants to deal with Empress Wu and the big forces hidden behind the Qing Gang, he has to transfer Wei Chi Xunyan to Luoyang.

"Fu? Shou Ji, have you heard of this name, do you know this thing? Li Hong snorted coldly and threw a pack of cigarette foam in front of Chen Gong.

This blessing? The longevity paste was given to him by Xu Wenqiang, saying that the big forces behind them used this thing to control them, and they now have three months of inventory, and if the poison on their bodies can't be cured after the inventory, they will probably be at the mercy of others.

When Li Hong heard the news at first, he didn't think so, wasn't it opium? Trying to quit opium is not easy?

But after thinking about it carefully, Li Hong was so surprised that he was a little afraid.

Because, this seems very simple, can it be hidden in the blessing? The question behind the shou paste completely raised a question in Li Hong's heart.

Opium, also known as opium, commonly known as smoke, is derived from the opium poppy plant capsule, and the main alkaloid it contains is morphine. Opium is black or brown depending on the place of origin; It smells of ammonia or stale urine, has a bitter taste, and has a strong odor.

Raw opium is boiled and fermented to make refined opium flakes, which are brown or golden in color. It has a sweet smell when smoked. Opium tablets were originally used as medicine, and are still used in medicines, such as opioid powder, opioids, compound bellflower powder, To's powder, orange tablets, etc., mainly used for antitussive, antidiarrheal, etc.

Opium is the primary product of opium poppy, it has 28 genera and more than 250 species; It grows mainly in almost the entire temperate and subtropical regions of the Northern Hemisphere, and this place is the birthplace of almost all human civilizations.

Opium is made by drying the juice of poppy fruits. The opium poppy was originally found in southern Europe and Asia Minor, and around the fifth century BC, the Greeks extracted the juice of the poppy flower or fruit into medicine. It was found to have the effects of calming the nerves, sleeping, analgesic, antidiarrheal, coughing, and forgetting worries, and the Greeks called it "Abian". At the beginning of the sixth century A.D., the Arabs introduced the opium poppy to Persia, and the Persians changed the sound of "flat" to "piece" and called it "opium". In the seventh and eighth centuries, the poppy was introduced to China as a medicinal herb from India and other places, and the Chinese pronounced the "A" sound into the "crow" sound. Since then, the term "opium" has come into existence in China.

In the ruins of Neolithic housing estates excavated in Switzerland from 4000 BC, archaeologists have found the remains of the seeds and fruits of the "opium poppy", which are artificially cross-cultivated. By 3400 B.C., the crop was cultivated on a large scale in the valley of the two rivers in present-day Iraq, and it was known as the "happy plant". At least by 2160 BC, opium had become a veterinary and gynaecological medicine.

Among the ancient Egyptian tombs that have been excavated in 1500 BC, "Theban Opium" has become a high-end brand. By 300 B.C., opium was already a popular drink in ancient Greece. In the Bible and Homer's Odyssey, opium is described as a "medicine for forgetting," and God uses it. At least in the second century B.C., the famous Greek physician gallon recorded the diseases that opium could treat: headache, dizziness, deafness, epilepsy, stroke, amblyopia, bronchitis, wheezing, cough, hemoptysis, abdominal pain, jaundice, splenic sclerosis, kidney stones, urinary diseases, fever, edema, leprosy, menstrual irregularities, depression, anti-poisoning, and poisonous insect bites.

In 139 B.C., when Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, opium spread to China. During the Three Kingdoms, Hua Tuo, a famous doctor, used marijuana and opium as anesthetics; In the second year of the Tang Dynasty (667 AD), there were records of the import of opium, and the Arab opium of the Tang Dynasty was called "A Hibiscus"; In the "Kaibao Materia Medica" published in the Northern Song Dynasty in 973 AD, opium and chips were named poppy poppy, and the latter "millet" was used as a capsule.

This is the historical material of opium and its value.

To tell the truth, in Chinese history, opium has the effect of curing diseases very early, and it was used by Langzhong in the treatment process, which Li Hong is very clear about.

But now the blessing in his hand? The production of Shou paste has exceeded the level of production in this world as he knows it.

Raw opium and flakes are processed into opium flakes, then kneaded into small balls or strips, roasted on the fire until soft, then stuffed into the smoke pot of the smoking gun, turned the smoke pot to the flame, and smoked the smoke produced by combustion; Among the drug addicts, those who are not addicted to smoking take 10~20 times a day, and those who are serious take more than 100 times a day; Nowadays, drug addicts often swallow opium pills directly, or dissolve opium tablets in water and inject them directly with needles, and intravenous injection has become one of the main ways of HIV transmission.

And also call opium a blessing? Shou ointment, this is not the name of the Tang Dynasty, and it is to use opium and tablets to control people and let the other party work for themselves, such means and methods make Li Hong seem familiar.

After comprehensive analysis, Li Hong came up with a shocking secret.

That is, someone traveled to the Tang Dynasty like him, but instead of crossing into the royal family or the noble family, he traveled to the medical family, which led to the fact that this person could not carry out his own conspiracy or plan with other means, but used the means of making opium to control others.

Of course, this is only Li Hong's preliminary analysis, and he still has to investigate in detail, but Li Hong is sure that as long as Wei Chi Xunyan arrives in Luoyang and lets Wei Chi Xunyan investigate, this matter will not be difficult to find out.

If it is found out, what should Li Hong do?

Do you take the other person under your command, or kill him? Li Hong hasn't thought about it yet, but after his analysis, he feels that the other party has traveled to the Tang Dynasty and doesn't know much history, so he will be as unknown as he is now, and he hasn't made any big moves.

Otherwise, with the other party having traveled ten years earlier than himself, how could the other party still use opium to control others and such shoddy means?

Thinking of this, Li Hong smiled.

Because, in this way, he will not feel lonely.

The master is lonely.

Li Hong is now a master.

However, with this person, Li Hong will not be lonely.
