Chapter Eighty-Four: The Cross-examination of Words and Thoughts
In this world, no one, no matter what they want, can move with their hearts.
There are many hardships and pains in life, but there are also many luck and happiness, and the two coexist, and there is always a feeling of joy in suffering.
Soho was suddenly awakened by Qi Man, and she recalled all the scenes she had been outside with Yan Nian that day, and the most suspicious of them was the girl who sold flowers.
Although everything seemed to be leaky on the surface, the girl who sold the flowers was indeed pitiful, but it was a pity that the voice was so beautiful that Soho was always impressed.
She looked at Qi Man, "You don't think it's the girl who sells flowers who made it bad, right?" That woman doesn't look very old, and she is still a little submissive, how could she do such a thing as poisoning? β
Qi Man smiled and said, "Soho, you really don't understand other people's minds. β
Soho said, "What's wrong?" β
"Maybe that girl likes Yannian, so she will make Yannian give you flowers and poison you, so that your body becomes weak, maybe that girl will be able to take advantage of the weakness!"
"How is this possible? I remember that the woman looked very good-looking, and she didn't look like someone who could do such a thing! β
Qi Man saw that she didn't intend to believe it all along, so he said bitterly: "Okay, since you don't believe it this time, I still have to tell you that the rivers and lakes are sinister, you don't trust anyone casually, otherwise you will be framed by others sooner or later." β
Soho nodded, thoughtful.
At this time, Qi Man suddenly took out a piece of rice paper that looked a little wrinkled, and the rice paper had drawings and words on it, and it seemed that the person who wrote it was extremely serious.
He looked at Soho, handed over the rice paper again, and showed all the preparations he had made.
"Soho, this is my analysis of your flower, take a good look, the surface of this flower is non-toxic and harmless, but the fragrance is really unique, and this flower seems to have been sprinkled with poisonous powder, mixed with this fragrance, and it has become another poison, but I don't know what kind of poison this is, so you know it, right?"
Qi Man's explanation is already very simple, but it still can't stand it, because this poisonous powder is mixed with the fragrance of flowers, forming another poison, which is really powerful!
Soho was getting ready to take a good look at it, but she didn't expect Qi Man to suddenly take her hand, and the two of them took a few steps back, and then covered each other's mouths and noses.
After a long time, Qi Man looked at her and said: "Soho, I have never seen this kind of poison, and Yan Nian Gongzi has been hit by this poison, the original poison powder is easy to solve, but it is a pity that it is mixed with the fragrance of flowers to form another poison, which is really too tricky." β
When Soho heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart, she never thought that just such a small thing would develop to this point, which is really embarrassing.
"Then do you know what kind of poison this original powder is? Is there an antidote? β
Yan Nian nodded, but still frowned, and his expression looked ugly.
"This poison was originally a nine-turn free powder used by the royal family of the Western Realm to punish prisoners, and I have only seen it in legends, and although this poison is not enough to be fatal, the process of detoxification is very difficult, not to mention that now it is mixed with the fragrance of flowers, and it has become another poison."
Soho looked at him with a depressed mood.
Is there really no way to save Yan Nian?
She didn't want to believe it anyway, how could such a beautiful person go like that?
In this world, everyone can't escape birth, old age, sickness and death, but Soho is still very unwilling, Yan Nian was poisoned, and it is really not worth dying like this.
She choked up and said, "Qi Man, I know that you have studied medicine, so tell me, will Yannian's body improve?" Although the nine-turn Xiaoyao powder is mixed with the fragrance of flowers, I believe in your personality and medical skills, can you help me save him? β
Qi Man looked at her so heartbroken, it didn't look like a fake at all, and he was also a little moved.
So, he pretended to be calm and said: "Okay, I promise that Yannian's body will definitely improve, now let's go to Yan's house to see him together, maybe he will get better, and a miracle will happen!" β
After a pause, he continued: "By the way, you saw the little girl selling flowers that day, did you see anyone else?" β
Su Ho nodded, "What you said reminded me that the two of us also saw Li Xiuyu and Miss Li that day, and she watched Yan Nian fall." β
"Miss Li, what is she going to do when she sees you? What was the situation like at that time? Tell me about it. β
In this way, the two of them talked while walking, and when they came to Yan's house, the situation at that time had already been roughly stated, and Qi Man's heart had already made a certain number.
He was very suspicious of Miss Li from the beginning, but because this person was Yannian's fiancΓ©e, he could only secretly investigate so quietly, after all, if it was a big fanfare, not many people would believe it, not to mention that in the absence of evidence, it was easy to cause harm to other people's reputations.
Soho didn't think as much as he thought, but he had already sensed that something was wrong in his heart.
That's it, just a moment, the two of them have already seen Yan Nian, and sure enough, Yan Nian has been much better since he woke up that day, although he was only hung by a true qi, but it looks really different from when he was poisoned.
Li Xiuyu's poisoning couldn't be hidden after all.
At noon that day, she had just come out of the room after lunch and was going to take a walk in the yard, but she didn't expect to meet Yan Nian, who came with Qi Man and Soho.
Li Xiuyu looked at the menacing appearance of these people, although she was already flustered in her heart and didn't know what to do, but on the surface, she was still calm.
As soon as she saw Soho, she was so disgusted that she wanted to walk away quickly.
It's a pity that the way was blocked.
"Miss Su, this is not your home, why are you stopping me like this?"
Li Xiuyu was not afraid at all on the surface, but the trembling legs betrayed her after all.
When Soho heard this, she didn't know what to say for a while, she was really embarrassed, and she had always hated Li Xiuyu, so naturally she didn't even want to say a word.
It was at this time that Yan Nian suddenly said sharply: "What about me? Am I qualified to stop you? β
The voice was clear and cold, without a trace of emotion, which made people feel a little chilled when they listened to it.
Li Xiuyu was a little scared, she had never seen such words, it was ten times more terrifying than the words in her dreams, and this incident happened much faster than she imagined.
"Yan, Yan Gongzi, is naturally qualified."
As soon as she finished saying this, Li Xiuyu suddenly lowered her head, with a hint of shyness on her face, looking like a girl who thinks of spring.
However, in the eyes of Yan Nian, all this is just hypocrisy, and there is no emotion at all.
"Miss Li, when I fainted, you and Soho were both there, so why did you go to see us at that time? How did it end up in that place? β
Yan Nian's question was straightforward, without delay.
He just said it casually, but when Li Xiuyu listened, he always felt that it was deliberately aimed at himself, and he couldn't help but feel chills in his body, and his face looked blue for a while and white for a while, which was really ugly.
Yan Nian saw that Li Xiuyu didn't say a word, and suddenly became a little angry, and even his face became ugly.
"Why don't you speak? Do you think that even if you don't say it, we won't know? β
Li Xiuyu felt unusually aggrieved, she was obviously the fiancΓ©e of the person in front of her, and Mrs. Yan was very polite to her, but it was a pity that Yan Nian was so aggressive towards her.
After thinking of this, Li Xiuyu felt more and more aggrieved, she never thought that one day, she would be interrogated like this by the person she liked, this is really shameless, she wanted to be angry for a while and not speak, and she didn't tell Yan Nian anything.
She always felt that as long as they didn't find evidence of her poisoning, there was nothing at all.
However, Li Xiuyu still underestimated the ability of the three of them after all, although Su He didn't know what this medicine was for, let alone studied medical skills, but Qi Man knew all about those medicinal materials and poisons, and all this naturally couldn't escape his eyes.
After a long time, just when everyone thought that they would not be able to learn any useful information this time, Li Xiuyu suddenly spoke a little abruptly.
"Yannian, what do you mean by that? I'm your fiancΓ©e, and I'll be your wife in the future, do you think of me like this? β
"Wife, Ming Media is marrying? You really dare to think about it, but let me tell you, as long as Soho is by my side for a day, I will never marry you. β
After a pause, Yan Nian continued: "As long as you tell me the truth and tell all the motives for poisoning, Soho and I may spare you, if you don't say it, as long as we find evidence, you don't want to break up the relationship." β
Thinking of this, he was ruthless and firm, and Li Xiuyu suddenly became a little uneasy.
She always thought that as long as Mrs. Yan and Master Yan always supported her and were good to herself, it would be impossible for Yan Nian to rebel against his parents, and over time, her status in the Yan family would naturally be as stable as Mount Tai.
However, she still thought wrong after all, Yan Nian is not a person who can be easily manipulated by others, let alone a person with soft ears, who can be easily moved by others.
So, with angry eyes, she looked at Soho and scolded: "Soho, is this your method?" You are really despicable, you are so persecuted, is this what a gentleman does? β
Soho still looked at her without saying a word, with an inquiring look in his eyes, not understanding where the anger of the person in front of him came from?
After a long while, Li Xiuyu suddenly looked at Yan Nian and said: "Yan Nian, I like you so much, poisoning this matter, although I did it wrong, but I don't regret it at all, really." β
Hearing this, Yan Nian seemed to lose his mind for a moment, but in an instant, he had regained his composure, and said in a restrained voice: "Why? β
"Originally, I wanted to poison Soho, but I didn't expect that the person who was poisoned would be you, but that's fine, since I can't get your heart and your love, then it's good to destroy you."
As soon as she finished saying this, Su Ho suddenly became calm, the man she had always cared for would be treated like this, Li Xiuyu really damned!
Thinking of this, Soho stepped forward directly, grabbed Li Xiuyu's collar, and said a little out of control: "Li Xiuyu, are you still a person?" You keep saying that you like words, is that what you like? Your like, it's really cheap, it's really sad! β
"Soho, you're not in a position to say that."
"Why am I not eligible? Yan Nian and I were originally in love, but you have to stick a stick between us, is this what you like? Yan Nian had already persuaded you at the time, but you were still unwilling to withdraw from the marriage, this is the evil result of your persistence, do you understand? β
Li Xiuyu knew that what Soho said was right, but she was still unwilling to face the reality.
She likes Yannian so much, but the person she likes is Soho, why does God play tricks on people like this?
At this moment, Qi Man, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly spoke.
I saw him clear his throat and say clearly: "Miss Li, I know that the person you like in your heart is Yan Nian's son, but if you like someone, you still have to pay attention to fate after all, not to mention the poisoning, although I don't know the reason, but you still hurt Yan Nian after all, did you think about these when you were poisoned?" β
Li Xiuyu looked at Qi Man, this is the man who has the best attitude towards her so far, which makes her have some good feelings in her heart.
However, she didn't understand what Qi Man meant by this, and couldn't help but look at the person in front of her suspiciously and asked, "Young Master Qi, what do you mean by this?" The poison is not difficult to solve, it's just a nine-turn free powder, is it too serious what you said? β
Qi Man shook his head, and said helplessly: "No, the nine-turn Xiaoyao powder, presumably the girl sprinkled it on the fresh petals first, but the aroma of the flower mixed with the taste of this Xiaoyao powder produced another poison, and this poison, I won't solve it." β
"You won't understand, this, this, how is this possible? Nine Turns Easy Powder is not a deadly poison in the first place, could it be another poison that has been spawned, is it really deadly enough? β
Li Xiuyu's words still showed her thoughts after all, she still cared about words and thoughts after all, after all, this is her favorite man all along, and it is also the man she wants to marry the most.
"Miss Li, I always thought that even if you didn't like me, you were still kind in your heart, but after all, I thought wrong, what you can't get, you have to destroy it, this really scares me, let me suffocate first, are these really the results you want? The poison of words and thoughts can't be solved now, do you really feel no guilt in your heart? β
Soho asked the person in front of him in a choked voice, in a very bad mood.
After all, the current situation of words and thoughts is not optimistic, this kind of poison that has been born, no one knows, let alone research, naturally there can be no antidote, there can be no antidote.
Qi Man scratched his head a little, he always thought that his medical skills were okay, although he couldn't treat outsiders, but he could protect the people around him from the torture of illness, but unfortunately all this was taken for granted by him after all.
It turns out that in this world, there are people outside of people, and poison is also poisonous.
Li Xiuyu looked at the three people in front of him with self-reproach, Yan Nian's body seemed to be a little unbearable, and he looked a little shaky, but fortunately, Su He and Qi Man supported him.
"Yannian, I'm sorry, I originally wanted to poison Miss Su, but I didn't expect you to be poisoned, I hurt you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Yan Nian seemed to be holding his body at this time, breathing heavily several times, coughing several times, and then said with difficulty: "Don't say it, no matter what kind of poison this is, as long as Soho is always by my side, even if I die immediately, there will be no regrets in life, as long as you don't come to disturb us, I will always miss your good." β
Soho was moved by his words, and couldn't help but help support him more and more carefully, and help to tighten the clothes on his body so as not to be blown by the wind.
Li Xiuyu looked at these two people like no one else, and even said such words, she was really angry and blamed herself, but she was still a little unwilling.
"Yannian, can you open my eyes wide for me to see clearly? I'm your fiancΓ©e, I should be by your side, Soho is just a country woman of unknown origin, why do you like her so much? Am I really worse than her? β
Yan Nian nodded, and continued to say with difficulty: "Yes, you are indeed not as good as Soho, you are not as kind as her, not as good as her, in my eyes, Soho is the best woman in this world, no one can compare." β
When Yan Nian said this, he couldn't hide the affection in his eyes when he looked at Soho.
Qi Man saw Li Xiuyu so persistent, it was really pitiful and hateful, and his heart was very uncomfortable.
However, in this world, what about Li Xiuyu who is persistent? Gu Senran is, and so is himself.
From the first time he saw Gu Senran and Soho, Qi Man knew that his heart was filled with someone and something for the first time, so happy and sweet.
For the first time, he found that his insight was so sensitive, and Gu Senran showed all kinds of things when he was at the Yan family, in fact, he had already seen that Gu Senran liked Soho, and this kind of liking was the kind of affection engraved in his bones, no less than Yannian, but it was a pity that Soho didn't like Gu Senran.
However, at first he was just a spectator, but after all, he was attracted to Soho.
Such a good woman, in this world, I am afraid there is no second person.
Just as he was thinking, Li Xiuyu suddenly spoke: "Yannian, I don't know why you have to protect such a woman of unknown origin, but I have been interrogated by you like this, it is really shameless, do you really not care about my feelings at all?" β
Yan Nian really didn't want to pay attention to her, so he twisted his head to the side, looking at Soho in his eyes, with full affection.
Su Ho couldn't, so he had to speak instead of Yan Nian: "Miss Li, before you ask others, you should also reflect on yourself, why Yan Nian has been protecting me, but has always ignored your face, is it really just because he likes me?" β
"Isn't it?"
"You say yes, yes!"
Hearing these words, no matter how stupid Li Xiuyu was, she still understood after all.
Although she was poisoned, these people have no tangible evidence, as long as Yan Nian and Soho don't say it, everything will still have a chance to turn around.
After thinking of this, Li Xiuyu suddenly said viciously: "Yannian, Soho, I don't want to make a big deal about this matter, I hope you don't say it, it's good for all of us, thank you!" β
As soon as she said this, Soho looked at her mockingly, her eyes full of disdain.
"Why do you think we won't say it?"
Li Xiuyu regained her previous calm, and said with a smile: "This matter is related to words and thoughts, and it is also related to you, so even if you know the cause and effect of this matter, you will not say it and shoot yourself in the foot." β
Qi Man suddenly admired her a little, but it was a pity that such a person was too heavy and too vicious.
Soho didn't say anything, and left the courtyard with Qi Man helping Yannian to leave.
A gust of wind blew gently, Li Xiuyu felt a little cold, just like a human heart, once it was hurt by someone or something, it would be difficult to recover, even if it really recovered one day, there would still be scars after all.
She looked at the blue sky alone, she just wanted to be with the person she liked, but she just wanted to get rid of the person who was in her way, was it really wrong?
She asked herself alone, a little hesitant and at a loss in her heart.
