Chapter 119: The Inner Wall (2)

In fact, the "heat curse" is just a code word between me and Shi Mo, but in fact, the real reason why Beru is unconscious at the moment is that he has been poisoned by the herbs. It is a common herb that grows in the wild, and people will use it to treat the poison of insect and snake bites, but if used in large amounts, it will become a deadly poison. The cluster of arrows is coated with the juice of the herbs, and although the person who is hit by the arrow does not fall to the ground immediately, he will soon die of a festering wound and fever.

"Ice? Spirit monkey? You girl is really ashamed of the old man when she lies. ”

"Master is reluctant to give up your few spirit stones?" Every sorcerer has his own favorite spirit stone, Ming Yi likes the rosin tiger spirit, and Shi Mo loves the deep pool ice crystal. It was a hard, colorless, clear, transparent stone buried under a hundred-foot deep pool.

In order to fool Xun Ji, I could only make up something that sounded mysterious, and the snow monkey was pulled out by me to suffer, so Shi Mo naturally had to endure the pain and hand over a few ice crystals.

"How can you be reluctant to be a teacher?" Shi Mo stood up, "What herbs do you need, I'll ask someone to go back to the house to get them for you." ”

"I want some indigo for dyeing green clothes, some honeysuckle, licorice, rhino horn powder, and a jar of fresh mare's milk every day."

"Someone will bring it to you in half an hour." After Shi Mo finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the door, opened the door and closed it gently, turned his head to me and said, "Zi Di, the prince is injured like this, and the prime minister has not come to see him, you should already know the position of the prince in the prime minister's heart." Now, even if you have already guessed who the poisoner is, don't take the liberty of telling the prime minister, that will only put you in danger. Without waiting for me to answer, he opened the door and walked out.

In fact, the relationship between me and Shi Mo has always been very complicated and delicate. I never respected him as a master, and he never taught me as a disciple. If he treats me well, when he taught me in the Taishi Mansion in the past, he always looked cold, and his eyes were always full of exploration and estrangement. But if he didn't treat me well, he didn't hesitate to give me the heavy object of the master's dragon crown, and before I went to Qin with Wuxian, he prepared a full box of herbs, poisons, and small things for me. And when he said this to me just now, he looked and spoke very well like a master, and perhaps he was really worried about me.

However, since Shi Mo said this, it means that he, like me, already has a person of doubt in his heart. Although the Marquis of Jin has always been dissatisfied with Zhao's dictatorship, he will not be stupid enough to let his youngest son shoot an unloved son of the Zhao family. If Bolu died, it would do no harm to the Marquis of Jin, so there must be someone else who poisoned the arrow cluster!

After everyone left, the only people left in the dimly lit room were me and the dying Berl.

Bruw's face was white, his pursed purple lips were tight, and his shoulders twitched up and down from time to time in pain.

"You know now! Even if you don't have the intention of harming others, as long as you sit in the position of the son of the world, someone will want your life. I pressed the cold sweat on Boru's forehead with a handkerchief, and sighed, "Raising pigs and tigers is not as good as raising soldiers, you didn't listen to it at all." I invited you to hunt for no reason, why don't you have more eyes and bring a few more people......"

"I brought three ......" Berlu, who had been unconscious, opened his eyes slightly, and pulled a weak smile at me.

"You're awake!" I hurriedly tested the heat on his forehead with the back of my hand, and it was still hot.

"Qing... What about the Father? "Bru's throat was so swollen from the heat of the grass that I could barely speak, and I could barely hear a few broken words when I pricked up my ears.

"Prime Minister has been here before, and then he left for fear of hindering me from treating your injuries." I smiled and shook his hand, "You're going to freak out all of us, but don't worry, give me ten days, and I'll be able to get you better." ”

"He's not coming to see me, I'm disgraced him again......" Burru closed his eyes, snorted, and stopped talking.

"He was very worried about you, and he asked the witch doctor Ji to wait for your carriage at the city gate, and he asked Taishi to wait in your courtyard. He didn't say anything, but I'm sure he's been worried about you. You get a good night's sleep first, and he'll come to see you later. ”

"Will he come?" Bruw's brow twitched slightly, and his eyelashes were wet with tears hidden in his sockets, sticking to his eyelids.

"Well, he'll definitely come." I couldn't bear to look at his bitter smile, so I got up and walked to the door softly, I wanted to open the door to let him breathe, but I accidentally bumped into Zhao Ying, who was standing outside the door.

"Did I say I'd come later?" Zhao Ying's face was not angry and arrogant, he stood in front of me with his back hand, which made me feel that the whole person was caged in a heavy cover with the house behind him, and he couldn't breathe.

"The witch Zi Di has seen the prime minister!"

Zhao Ying was silent, only looked me up and down with his eyes, and then walked down the steps with his sleeves.

"Prime Ministerβ€”"

"If you tell him, you'll say I've already come." Zhao Ying hesitated slightly, and then strode towards the outside of the courtyard.

"The prince has woken up, why don't you go in to see him?" When I saw that he was leaving, I hurried after him and grabbed him by the sleeve.

"Bold!" Zhao Ying turned his head and glanced coldly at the hand I pulled on the sleeve of his robe.

I immediately let go of my hand, took two steps forward, knelt in front of Zhao Ying, and plucked up the courage to say: "Prime Minister Qing, the injured person inside is the son of the Zhao family, your son-in-law, no matter how dissatisfied you are with him, he is always your most important son." For the sake of the Zhao family's century-old foundation, as the sect master, you must protect him. Every time you ignore him, you will make him a living target for those who have a heart. He can escape this time, but he can't escape the next time. If you feel that he can't bear the burden of the son, you also have the responsibility to let him step down from this position safely. Because, the person who sent him to this position in the first place was the prime minister himself! ”

Zhao Ying stared at me closely, his eyes burned with an uncontrollable anger, and it seemed that he would rush up and break my neck in the next moment, "You, are you finished?" He said.

"Nope!" I raised my head and looked directly at him, suppressed the fear in my heart and said bluntly, "If the prime minister leaves like this today, it means that you have to watch the son die with your eyes, and then choose a favorite son for yourself with peace of mind, no longer need to consider the difference between the eldest and the youngest, and no longer have to worry about the leisurely mouth of the people in the world." But this is not what a father should do, let alone what a man like Qing Xiang should do. It is the responsibility of the suzerain to educate a qualified son, and the prime minister's martial arts are admired by the people of the world, is it now necessary to shirk the most basic responsibility as the suzerain of the Zhao family? ”

"Since Zhou She (1) died, no one dared to talk to the old man like this for a long time." Zhao Ying looked at me, the anger in his eyes gradually faded, and he reached out to help me up, "Bolu is a good son, but he shouldn't be my eldest son...... I'll give him another two years, and if he doesn't satisfy me, I'll do as you say, and let him get out of this position in peace. ”

I had already been ready to receive punishment before I said this, but now Zhao Ying not only did not blame me, but promised to protect Bolu thoroughly, I grabbed Zhao Ying's sleeve again with excitement, "Prime Minister Qing, thank you, you are the best father in the world." ”

Did you hear that, Bruch? He said you were a good son.

Zhao Ying glanced at my hand on his sleeve, and instead of scolding angrily, he unexpectedly showed a smile: "I want to know now, what kind of person can give birth to a daughter like you?" ”

"The little girl has no father and no mother, she is really despicable, and today she collided with the prime minister and asked the minister to atone for her sins." I bent down and bowed deeply to Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying sighed lightly and turned his head and stepped up the steps.

"Prime minister, there are not many people who can survive the 'heat curse'. He's really amazing. ”

"I know......" Zhao Ying gave me a meaningful look, turned and pushed open the door of Boru's room.

I looked at the red lacquered wooden door, and my heart that had been hanging for a long time finally fell to the ground. No matter what Zhao Ying would say to Beru at this moment, as long as he stayed in this house for a few more moments, the assassin of Beru would be a little more jealous!

Shi Mo quickly sent someone to bring me what I wanted. I crouched in the courtyard boiling the antidote to the poison of the herbs, and pondered how to deal with the enemies hiding in the shadows.

Everyone in this world has their own temperament, Xun Ji is jealous, and she can't tolerate other women in her eyes; Bo Ying is domineering and can't share his beloved things with others; What about me? I am born to protect my shortcomings, if anyone bullies the people around me, I will ask him to return it a thousand times over!

The Jin State is now the dictatorship of the Four Qings, and the Marquis of Jin I saw this person when I was in the Huangchi Alliance, although he doesn't seem to be very shrewd, but he doesn't look like a fool either. If he can handle the relationship with the four Qing clans, he can continue to sit in that position. On the contrary, if he offends Siqing, it is very likely that he will be ousted from power by the ministers like the previous monarch of Qi State, or even be secretly eliminated. Therefore, he would never use the hand of Gongzi to assassinate Beru and provoke Zhao Ying.

Then next is Zhao Mengli, the eldest son of the Zhao family, who has the most doubts about him so far.

First, Zhao Mengli was sitting in the car at the time, indicating that he was also present when the garden was hunting, and he had the opportunity to exchange the arrows in the son's arrows; Second, although Berlu was unconscious, he did not bleed much, but he believed that Beru would die, indicating that he probably knew that the arrows were coated with poison; Third, after Bolu's death, he was the best choice for Zhao Ying, whether he was in love or in Chang, so he had enough motives to kill Bolu.

But there is only one thing I don't understand, Bolu is the most heartless on weekdays, when he raised animals in the yard, it is said that he only took one person with him when he went out, if Zhao Mengli wanted to kill Bolu, why did he do it now? Why do you have to borrow the hand of the son in the garden of the Marquis of Jin?

Remarks: (1) Zhou She: A retainer of the Zhao family, known for his outspokenness and daring advice. According to Han Liu Xiang's "New Preface: Miscellaneous Affairs", after Zhou She's death, Zhao Ying once sighed: "The only thing that everyone is is not as good as Zhou She's words." In the past, he fainted and died, and the martial king prospered. Since the death of Zhou She, I have not heard of me. ”
