Chapter 192: The Source of Poison
Chapter 192: The Source of Poison
The reason why Chen Jinye was called into the palace in a hurry was that Zou Shi found out how the emperor was quietly poisoned in the back court.
Zou Shi stood in front of the emperor with a tangled face, pointed to the pillow thrown on the ground, and said: "The reason why the emperor was quietly poisoned is because of this pillow."
Chen Jinye looked at the pillow on the ground in amazement and asked, "Why did Master say that?" ”。
I saw Zou Shi slowly take out a specially made silver needle from his sleeve, and then inserted it into the pillow hard, and when he pulled it out again, the silver needle had turned completely black.
The people sitting in the hall were all amazed, quite frightened by this black color, Zou Shi pointed to the silver needle in his hand and said: "Look at this silver needle, this is the toxin that the emperor inhales when he sleeps every day, such a vicious poison can make the emperor's body so weak in silence."
"But this poisonous ......"
"This poison is volatilized into the emperor's body, and it is only because the emperor has to sleep on this pillow every day, so the toxin has a chance to take advantage of it."
Chen Jinye reached out to take the pillow tremblingly, but was slapped down by Zou Shi, "What are you doing?!" Did you know that even touching it can be harmful to the human body? What's more, the volatility of this poison is a little more vicious than that common poison, you are like this, you don't want your life, do you? ”。
"How can this pillow be poisonous?"
Chen Jinye was a little distracted and muttered to himself, Zou Shi looked at his expression and figured out a little, could it be that he knew the source of this pillow?
"Ye'er, do you know where this pillow came from?"
Chen Jinye looked up at his father and mother in the hall, Zhen Hong stared at Chen Jinye with slight eyebrows, and the emperor looked at Chen Jinye with a calm face, but he didn't say a word, Chen Jinye slowly lowered his head, and stared carefully at the pillow on the ground for a long time, full of disbelief.
At the beginning, I just heard that the person who made the pillow was very good, and I also tried to use the pillow made by the craftsman, and the pillow was indeed extremely comfortable, and at that time, I would sleep well almost every day, and I was refreshed every day.
However, since I gave the same pillow to my father, I haven't used it again in order to avoid suspicion, and a few days ago, I was really entangled in government affairs, and I only used it a few times in chaos.
Chen Jinye clenched his fists, arched his hand towards the emperor and empress, and said, "Father, mother, there is a similar pillow in my house, I want to go back and get it now and give it to the master for comparison."
Hearing Chen Jinye's words, Zou Shi's face suddenly changed, "Where do you have it?" Could it be that this pillow was given to Your Majesty by you? ”。
Chen Jinye slowly bowed his head, carefully explained the whole process of getting this pillow and the three people present, and then arched his hand again: "Erchen, go to the house and take the pillow."
The emperor bowed slightly, and Zou Shi asked to go with him, because he was worried about the toxins on the pillow, because Chen Jinye was accidentally stained by him for his own reasons, if so, he was afraid that it would damage Chen Jinye's body.
After the emperor acquiesced, Chen Jinye took Zou Shi all the way to his courtyard, returned to the dormitory and pulled out the pillow on the bed......
Chen Jinye's face was even blue, if it weren't for his own thoughts, the sons of heaven and princes in Nanzhao would all be sick in bed now, like this, like this......
Zou Shi took a piece of satin cloth and wrapped the pillow in its entirety, and the two looked at each other speechlessly, and rushed towards the palace again and again.
Coming to the palace, Zou Shi also put Chen Jinye's pillow in front of the emperor, at this time, the hall was as silent as death, and the emperor's face was a little angry, "If Mr. Zou hadn't noticed this matter today, wouldn't my Nanzhao have silently destroyed the dynasty?" Who is the person with such sinister intentions and such vicious deeds! ”。
Chen Jinye frowned, desperately recalling the whole process of discovering that craftsman at that time, and went through it in his mind, but found nothing, "Father, maybe I can go to the place at that time first and find that craftsman to ask."
Zou Shi nodded, and said slowly: "This matter, let the old man go, Ye'er also met me there at that time, I am relatively familiar with it, and by the way, I can find suitable medicinal materials."
The emperor nodded slowly, "Since this is the case, then I will bother Mr. Zou."
Zou Shi wrapped the two pillows on the ground separately, and then prepared the emperor with some medicinal materials to condition the body, and after saying goodbye to the emperor and empress, he said to Chen Jinye at the gate of the palace: "Ye'er, no matter who that group of people is, they are all looking at your Chen family's country, I have been here for a long time over the years, even if you don't really learn my medical skills well, you should carefully read and memorize those partial techniques, in the face of such a powerful and unknown enemy, you must be cautious about the facts, Carefully observe the details of life, I am afraid that the enemy has already lurked among the people you trust the most, if you don't look carefully and be led by the nose, even if I find the antidote, you will still be hurt again."
Chen Jinye nodded carefully and said slowly, "Yes, Master."
Zou Shi went back and packed his bags casually, and then traveled lightly, without even taking a look at Chen Jinye. Chen Jinye thought that he would not leave so early, so he also packed a lot of self-defense gadgets in his yard, but they were not delivered to Zou Shi.
According to Zou Shi's instructions, Chen Jinye carefully recalled the scene over and over again, but he couldn't find a point that could be doubted, but Chen Jinye suddenly remembered that in the past few days, Hongling always said that she looked a lot stupider, could it be the reason for the pillow?
But why do you feel so comfortable when you use it yourself? Illusion? Still is...... That's how the pillow-making craftsman used it to cheat money?
Chen Jinye guessed many possibilities, and his head hurt a little when he thought about it. Finally at lunchtime, he suddenly remembered that he was a stupid person now, and he might have analyzed that he was a little stupid, and Chen Jinye, who was suddenly open, didn't have time to take care of his poor self-esteem, and went to Hongling's courtyard with a stomach full of doubts.
It just so happened that Hong Ling had been worried about him, and always felt that it was nothing good for him to be urgently called into the palace, and she was muttering in her heart, whether to go to his courtyard to talk to him, but Chen Jinye took the initiative.
"Ling'er, I'm really annoyed......"
Hong Ling looked at him, her eyes were full of pity and care, Chen Jinye hung his head, knocked his head carefully, and then looked at Hong Ling with a frown and sadness, and said: "The source of my father's poisoning has been found, but it is ......."
Chen Jinye's stumbling appearance fell into Hong Ling's eyes, and Hong Ling was full of pity for him, and said: "Chen Jinye, you know the source of your father's poisoning, but you have completely investigated it?" ”。
"Not yet, I can't figure it out......"
Chen Jinye lowered his head again, stretched out his hands on both sides of his temples, pressed for a long time, his eyelids beat strangely, and even the muscles at the corners of his mouth seemed to be uncontrollable and excited, he seemed to be struggling all over, Hongling had never seen such a scene, so he reached out and grabbed his hand, and pressed it hard, "Chen Jinye, what's wrong with you?" ”。
"Ling'er, my master said that I was also poisoned......"
Hong Ling was immediately startled, pinched Chen Jinye's hand and shrank suddenly, then shook off the shock, and asked suspiciously, "How did you get poisoned?" ”。
"Ling'er, you know what? That pillow was a gift from me to my father, but that pillow was the source of poison."
"Pillows?"
Hongling didn't understand what Chen Jinye was saying, but she wondered if a pillow could be used to poison people?
"Ling'er, I've been thinking about it for a long time in the yard, I remembered that you said that I have become stupid recently, and I have only recently pillowed that pillow, I think, my stupidity may come from that pillow, so I want you to help me analyze it, because I am afraid that my brain is not enough, do you understand?"
Seeing Chen Jinye in front of him as if excited, as if he was entangled, mixed with a little helplessness and worry, but also very confused and scared, Hong Ling suddenly felt that he was so fragile, and the fragility made her feel distressed.
"Chen Jinye, you speak slowly, I will listen carefully and help you analyze carefully"
Hongling came to Chen Jinye's side, let him lie on his lap, and comforted him softly while touching his back.
Chen Jinye's emotions finally calmed down, but fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead, when Hongling reached out, his whole head was cold and cold, even though she was a little scared, she was about to get up and ask someone to carry him to the room to rest, but Chen Jinye grabbed her hand and refused to let go, only kept chattering to Hongling: "I'm fine, just rest for a while, rest for a while, ......."
"Chen Jinye, you can't do this......"
"Ling'er, there's nothing wrong with it, I'm just detoxifying, and the internal force in my body is expelling those poisons......"
Hongling frowned and looked at Chen Jinye in her arms, "Is there anything I can do for you?" ”。
Chen Jinye smiled softly, "Maybe you have been by my side, it has already been a great help to me."
"But is this poison so easy to solve?"
"I don't know, Master said there is no solution, but I just seem to have found the switch"
