Chapter 160: Finding an Antidote
There was not the slightest light in the dark, damp dungeon, only the squeaking of young rats, and a hard-shelled insect crawled onto Mao Jianfan's arm, and he stretched out his finger and flicked it off.
Looking at the hard-shelled insect on the ground, a cruel smile appeared at the corner of Mao Jianfan's mouth, today is really a dramatic day, from the beginning of the overjoy to the current discouragement, like a dream.
He thought that he would have a chance to soar after being summoned by the queen, but he didn't expect to be locked up in this dark place in the end, he picked up the hay on the grass pile in the corner, put it in his mouth and chewed vigorously, and when he found that the fire bile he had carefully refined was gone, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, when he returned to the queen's palace again, the queen was furious, not only beating him up, but also forcing him to hand over the antidote to silkworm poison.
He had no antidote, even the prescription for making poison was obtained by chance from the master, but no matter how he explained, the queen ignored it, and finally ordered his whole family to be locked up here.
He laughed dryly, but he didn't expect that the miracle from the sky had evolved into a miracle from the sky, but he was pitiful for his little son, who had just passed the full moon, and he was also affected by him.
Since being expelled from the master by the master, he has been a man with his tail between his legs, married a wife and had children, and set up his own door, although he is not as good as his eldest brother, but he also eats and drinks, but the arrival of Mao Zhiruo has changed everything, Mao Zhiruo told him that he likes to make drugs, and let him give her the ability to make drugs.
His parents died early, and it was the eldest brother who raised him, so he readily agreed and patiently taught her, but it didn't take long for him to find out that this seemingly weak niece only likes to make drugs, and does not like detoxification, in order to avoid her from causing trouble, he can only deal with her for various reasons, over time, Mao Zhiruo became the owner of his drug room, when he took the bottle of fire bile to admire, Mao Zhiruo quietly walked to his side, he was excited, and told her the refining method of fire bile and silkworm poison.
Until now, he can't forget Mao Zhiruo's surprised expression at that time, he only took it for granted, and didn't think much about it, now that he thinks about it, it turns out that she has already planned to harm others, but she just let herself carry the black pot for her, she is really a scheming and vicious woman.
This is really a good daughter educated by the eldest brother, every word and deed reveals the shadow of the eldest brother, the eldest brother is majestic in front of people, and he is an unscrupulous person to achieve the end after people, which is why the eldest brother has been able to stand tall for many years.
It's just that the eldest brother raised him, and even if he loses his life, he can't confess Mao Zhiruo.
The baby's cry came faintly from the side, and he came back to his senses, stood up and banged on the door hard, willing to confess his sins, and only begged to let his weak son out.
"What are you doing?" A glimmer of light penetrated through the small square hole in the cell door, and a hideous face appeared in Mao Jianfan's eyes.
"I'm willing to confess my sins, as long as I can release my child!" Mao Jian said earnestly.
"Confession?" He said disdainfully: "It's the same whether you admit your guilt or not, this is death row, and no one can get out alive."
"But the child is innocent!" Mao Jianfan's heart sank and he shouted loudly.
"Innocent?" The hideous man spat out, "The person who was poisoned by you is not innocent?" You kicked the iron plate this time, the person you killed is a big man, and the queen has decreed that your whole family should be buried together! ”
With a bang, the square hole was slammed shut, and darkness returned to the cell, Mao Jianfan slid down the cell door and fell to the ground, screaming in despair.
Xu Er is the only male in his Mao family, this is the queen of his Mao family!
……
"Your Majesty!" Steward Zhou looked at the queen with a gloomy expression and walked forward slowly holding a white jade bowl, the queen has not thought about eating and drinking since the morning, how can she go on like this?
The blow of Yu Wei's poisoning had made her much older, and she had just sent someone to ask the god operator, but the god operator was in retreat, and no one knew when he would be out, let alone if he had a cure to dissolve the silkworm poison.
The thought of her decades-long plan was about to come to an end, her heart was filled with grief, her nose was sore, her eyes were moist, the anger of revenge had long since made her forget her grief, and she did not shed a single tear even after the death of her father and the horse.
But because of Yu Wei's critical illness, tears welled up in her eyes.
After a long time, she let out a long sigh and asked slowly, "Is there any news from Doctor Kang?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the old slave has personally investigated, and Doctor Kang locked himself in the Medicine Stone Pavilion, and he hasn't come out since he went in!"
When the queen heard this, her face was full of sorrow, and since the beginning of her reign she has been so drastic in the eradication of dissidents, even in the most difficult and darkest moments, she has not been so helpless as she is today.
"Your Majesty! Yuwei girl Jiren has her own natural appearance, and she can always turn danger into a dangerous moment, so please don't be too sad for Your Majesty! Steward Zhou looked at the queen's face full of anxiety and couldn't help but feel anxious.
That's right, Yuwei has the wind of a king, how could she be easily murdered and killed? The queen looked like she had been shot in the arm, and her eyes lit up with hope.
She took Steward Zhou's venison soup, and now it has not reached the worst situation, and she can't mess up by herself.
"Your Majesty!" Steward Zhou watched the queen finish the meal, and then hesitantly asked the queen: "If Mao Zhi's crime is extremely evil, may I ask Your Majesty how to deal with it?"
"Disposition?" The queen snorted lightly, no matter how severe the punishment was, it could not relieve the hatred in her heart.
It's just that Mao Jianfan has already become Mao Zhiruo's scapegoat, and Mao Ge Lao is a pawn for her to balance Ronglian, if she pulls out this nail now, Ronglian is bound to be even more rampant!
She suppressed the anger in her heart, and said in a cold and terrible voice: "Keep her first, I will let her die slowly!"
"Yes, the old slave obeys!"
I don't know when, snowflakes have fallen outside the window, and the queen looked at it in a daze for a long time before she said slowly: "How is the old Mao Pavilion?"
"Back to Your Majesty, General Ouyang has sent someone to lurk in Mao Ge Lao's mansion, and since Mao Jianfan's house was raided, Mao Ge Lao has not made any changes."
The corners of the queen's mouth showed a sneer, she really deserved to be a veteran of the two dynasties, the old ministers of her father's generation had let her kill them all, only this old fox met everywhere, kept a low profile, and didn't let her catch a little handle, this time it's good, if Mao Zhi gives her a great opportunity, she is bound to uproot the Mao family from the north.
"Tell General Ouyang to withdraw! Let him cooperate with Dr. Kang to find an antidote! The queen pressed her aching head with her fingers, slowly stood up, and walked towards the back hall, exhausted from a day and a night's sleeplessness, and she needed a good rest before she could think of a proper response.
Steward Zhou looked at the queen's staggering appearance, his heart was mixed, since the queen ascended the throne, he has been waiting by the queen's side, the queen who has always been energetic today is like a withered yellow leaf is pitiful, others say that the queen is suspicious and violent, no one knows how many crises the queen has survived since she ascended the throne, from the rebellion of King Ming to the riot of Liu Wei, which time did not threaten the queen's rule?
Steward Zhou slowly walked out of the palace, the heavy snow fell from the sky like flying flotsam, he got on the snowmobile that had been prepared, and drove south.
A red brick and red tile building gradually appeared in front of Steward Zhou's eyes, this is the famous Mao Ge Lao Mansion in the north, and it is also the former Fei Lang General's Mansion, because Mao Ge Lao had saved a life of the first king, the first king gave him this mansion.
A dark shadow appeared directly in front of the snowmobile, and Steward Zhou hurriedly stepped on the brakes, and then stepped out of the car.
"General Ouyang! Her Majesty has decreed that you withdraw the guards here and go to Yingfeng Villa to assist Doctor Kang in finding the antidote! ”
"The old minister obeys!" Ouyang Cen, who had already grown grass in his heart, took a deep look at Steward Zhou, and quickly swept towards Yingfeng Villa with the guards.
Yingfeng Villa is located in the northern part of Youzhi Peak, halfway up the mountain peak there is an inaccessible canyon, and Yingfeng Villa is built in this canyon.
He led his guards over the ice field, quickly rushed to the foot of Youzhi Peak, and quickly swept towards the canyon.
A white jade archway appeared in front of him, he stopped, sorted out his clothes full of snowflakes, and walked towards the villa step by step with a solemn face.
This is where he followed his master to practice martial arts since he was a child, and the master handed over the villa to his youngest apprentice, Doctor Kang, and the last time he came back was when the master was dying.
Brave the wind and snow, he walked slowly towards the granite villa, where two stone lions still stood at the ends of the gate, just like last night.
He walked closer, gently stroked the mighty and wide back of the stone lion, remembering the scene of riding on the back of the stone lion and playing with the same disciple brother when he was a child, he couldn't help but be gloomy, time traveled for decades, not only did the master pass away, but also the disciple brother was left only he and Kang Shenyi.
A dark-faced, honest young man opened the door of the villa and said to him in a humble voice: "The family teacher is in retreat, and there are no visitors, please come back at the donor another day!"
"You're Liu Yong!" Ouyang Cen blocked the door that was about to be closed, and said eagerly.
"Yes, may I ask who the donor is......" Liu Yong looked dazed, he has been staying in this canyon since he apprenticed, and no outsiders should have seen him.
"I'm your uncle-Ouyang Cen!"
"Uncle Ouyang!" Liu Yong was overjoyed and hurriedly welcomed him in.
The hall of the villa is exceptionally neat, except for the portrait of the master before his death, which has been recolored, everything else is exactly the same as before.
He walked to the portrait of the master and knelt down for a long time, kowtowed four times, and suddenly got up and walked quickly towards the Medicine Stone Pavilion, he had just begged the master to bless the Divine Doctor Kang, and he could find a prescription to relieve the silkworm poison as soon as possible, if Miss Yuwei was gone, then I am afraid that there would be a new killing in the northern country!
He gently pushed open the white jade door of the Medicine Stone Pavilion, and a gray rickety figure came into his eyes, since he returned last night, Doctor Kang kept reading here, he prayed that he could find the pharmacopoeia left by his ancestors, but the medical skills of the Medicine Stone Pavilion were endless, he was so blankly looking in the sea of books, he was already tired and dizzy.
He raised his hand and rubbed his sore eyes, just as he saw Ouyang Cen with a nervous face, "What are you still doing there?" Why don't you hurry up and help me find the Zhiyang Treasure Book! ”
