Chapter 73: Birthday Gift

Nan Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly, do you still want to be the princess of Qin?

Thinking about it, she didn't have the courage to say it, after all, the relationship between them couldn't withstand the toss, let alone this earth-shattering thunder......

"What else?"

"She wants to be the princess of Yongning." Xiao Chen couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips when he saw her pretending to be indifferent but trying her best to hide her nervousness.

Will this wild fox be afraid? He thought she didn't know what it meant to be afraid!

"Ahem!"

Nan Jinyu was suddenly choked, coughed violently, and her face was flushed.

"What? Look, are you a little disappointed? ”

The cold voice suddenly got a little closer, and he was very unhappy when he thought of the Yongning Marquis Mansion's interference.

"No, no, no! So very good, so very good. ”

Nan Jinyu hurriedly waved her hand, not wanting to fight over this issue.

Looking at this Princess Luoying and Ji Lingfeng, they can be regarded as a pair of beauties, but why do they behave so awkwardly?

Emotional matters are really a metaphysics!

The carriage swayed from the western suburbs back to the downtown area. Before Nan Jinyu could take out the prepared gift to Xiao Chen, the carriage stopped.

The familiar low courtyard and the dilapidated roof overgrown with wild grass are the residence of Mr. Bai Poison.

"He's not going to poison me again, is he?"

Nan Jinyu pursed her lips and shrank behind Xiao Chen quietly.

"No, it won't."

Xiao Chen glanced at her, saw that she was so nervous that she grabbed the hem of her clothes, and stretched out her hand to bring the person closer, "What happened last time will never happen again, don't be afraid." ”

"Oh!"

Nan Jinyu was a little surprised that he suddenly held hands, but he didn't mean to struggle, his wide palms were cold, and he could be used as a mobile air conditioner.

The broken grass house is still the same broken grass house, but the inside is clean and spotless, and the dilapidated appearance on the outside is almost like two houses.

"Has this been renovated?"

Nan Jinyu looked around, but found that there was no one inside.

The only thing in the empty room was the cauldron of stew, and the rest of the things were replaced with brand new ones, which looked like they were living alone.

"It's a lot of work to renovate the house, just some new furniture."

The woman's voice came from the inner room, and then a woman with still charm walked out, looking to be in her thirties, and her smile was staggeringly delicate from head to toe.

"It's much more pleasing to the eye than before."

Nan Jinyu glanced at the other party in surprise, I don't know who this woman is from the Hundred Poisons Scholar, look at this appearance is probably a daughter?

"If you change the furniture, you will be able to live in it," the woman walked in front of her and saluted Xiao Chen in a dignified manner, "I have seen Your Highness, the old man is old, and if he has done something wrong, please spare His Highness for the sake of his loyalty for so many years." ”

"Poisonous lady, what do you say, should you ask her? After all, it wasn't the main hall that was tied. ”

Xiao Chen glanced at Nan Jinyu and said meaningfully.

The old man of the hundred poisons probably felt that he was embarrassed and refused to come out, right? Where is the reason for what residual poison has not been cleared!

"Huh? Me? ”

Nan Jinyu was a little confused, thinking that even if this matter was revealed after poisoning the old man with a hundred poisons last time, she didn't want to have such a thing today.

"The poisonous lady has seen the girl, and the girl is kind-hearted and spared the old man this time, he will definitely do his best in the future and dare not make it again."

A little surprise flashed on the woman's face, but it was only for a moment, and she turned to Nan Jinyu, and the words of apology sounded sincere.

"Well said, well said! After all, I poisoned him too......"

Nan Jinyu felt a little embarrassed, but she was full of curiosity about this woman, she called Mr. Bai Poison to be an old man, isn't it his daughter-in-law?

"Speaking of this, dare to ask the girl what kind of poison he gave him, so that he can make people lose consciousness in a breath, and when he can't detect the slightest problem......"

The poisonous lady leaned closer, her eyes glowing.

"It's just a purified anesthetic, but the dose is a little large."

Nan Jinyu touched her nose, feeling as if she was being targeted, and then seeing Xiao Chen's expression, her heart was a little relaxed.

"How old?"

The poisonous lady looked stunned, took Nan Jinyu's hand and led the person into the inner room, pointed to a whole wall of shelves and said, "These are the medicines we have tried, and none of them can achieve your effect." ”

"Well, that's nature."

Nan Jinyu pursed her lips, the pharmaceutical techniques and technical limitations in ancient times were relatively large, one of which was that she only focused on the formula and could not purify it, she used the melting point of several medicines to purify things at high temperature, which was naturally more powerful than their effect.

"You haven't even looked at these ......"

The poisonous lady seems to be a little hit, after all, she knows the temperament of the old man who wants to save face, if it weren't for the fact that there was no way, it would be impossible to send a message to her to come over!

This girl is really not simple!

"Don't look, the recipe is fine, my recipe is not as good as yours, but my medicine is purer than yours."

Nan Jinyu casually took a bottle of purple jade bottle, which was consistent with the most powerful poison she picked out from the arms of the old man with a hundred poisons that day, opened it and smelled it.

"Purity?"

The poisonous lady's eyes widened, and she began to mumble after seeing Nan Jinyu smell the medicine, and after a while, there were ten fewer bottles on the shelf, and they were put on the table with a little water, and she poured them into a medicine cup.

"That's probably the effect."

Nan Jinyu pointed to the pills in the medicine cup, and said concisely: "You need to purify the active ingredients in these medicines, and then find a carrier to ensure that they will not deteriorate in the short term, so that they can exert the greatest effect." ”

"I see......"

Without waiting for the poisonous lady to marvel, Nan Jinyu had already poured cold water into the medicine cup, smashed the original pill, and then put some ordinary reducing agent into it.

Some things are inherently highly toxic, so as long as the amount is large enough, it can work directly, without so many formulas and tricks.

It's just that the way of death is different, isn't it all a death?

Yebai had already placed the medicine bottles brought back from the Shen family's courtyard neatly, and only after a while did he see the curtain in the inner room move slightly, and a figure dangled behind the curtain, but he didn't come out.

"What? Is Mr. Hundred Poison stupid by poison? ”

Xiao Chen sat on the chair leisurely and drank tea, not at all in a hurry to get down to business.

"Your Highness wasn't such a joking person before!"

An embarrassing cough sounded out, and the old man of Hundred Poisons slowly appeared from behind the curtain, but his eyes kept glancing at the pharmacy, and he listened very carefully with his ears pricked up.

"The antidote given by the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang, let's try the medicine."

Xiao Chen glanced at Nan Jinyu, who was busy in the room, and the doubts in his heart deepened.

According to the news, Nan Jinyu was weak and kind when she was in the Zhu family, she didn't go out of the door all day long, she didn't go out of the door all day long, she was proficient in the art of the Five Elements Bagua Qimen Dunjia, and she didn't know anything about medicine......

If it weren't for the fact that he still came up with the same result after sending someone to check it again, he would almost think that his subordinates were derelict in their duties and couldn't do their jobs well!

"White Sakura? What she gave His Highness dares to try? ”

Mr. Hundred Poison immediately blew his beard and glared, and his face was extremely ugly.

That femme fatale was so tragic that the first concubine was designed to die, and now she still has the face to use such a small favor to continue to use His Highness?

"So this hall will let you try."

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and said noncommittally.

He naturally understood that Sakura would not come out with a real antidote, but to fool him there must be something credible in it, otherwise she would really want to dig her own grave......

"Okay."

Mr. Hundred Poison said no more, put on the sheep intestine gloves and began to test the medicine, and it is not an exaggeration to describe his actions as cautious.

By the time Nan Jinyu came out of the pharmacy again, half an hour had passed, and the poisonous lady's face had grown many folds because of overexcitement, and she looked ten years older.

"Your face ......"

"Oh! If you don't worry about it, the effect of this face change technique won't last, and if you laugh too much, your face will collapse, so you can last for most of the day, and it won't be too ugly. ”

The poisonous lady touched the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, and said indifferently.

They are all old women and old men in their seventies, and no one dislikes anyone, what is there to care about their appearance?

"Uh......"

Nan Jinyu's eyes widened in surprise, and her voice seemed to have changed a lot, she was still in her thirties, how could she look like she was in her fifties now?

"Girl, you are so surprised, you must not have guessed their relationship, right?"

Xiao Chen couldn't help laughing, seeing that her cute reaction was really cute, she would have known that she wouldn't have brought it out.

"Father, father and daughter......" Nan Jinyu said while observing the expressions of the people next to her, and finally changed the conversation and said: "No! No, it should be a master and apprentice! ”

"Poof! Hahahahaha......ha

Xiao Chen smiled forward and backwards, completely different from the usual cold temperament of few words, it seemed that every little action of her could make him happy.

"Humph!"

Mr. Poison's already dark face turned iron-blue, and he was so angry that he stopped talking.

But the poisonous lady was happy to become a flower, and said: "The girl is really good at talking, the old body is seventy years old this year, and she is the wife of this old man." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

This time, it was Nan Jinyu's turn to grow her mouth, and her strength was stunned by everyone, and she closed her chin manually to avoid dislocation.

"It's true."

Xiao Chen thought she didn't believe it, and explained a little, stretched out his hand to pull her in front of her, and looked carefully from head to toe.

"Why are you ......?"

Nan Jinyu came back to her senses and realized that he was looking at herself, and his eyes were like X-ray scanners, for fear of missing something, and her back was cold.

"Nothing."

Xiao Chen closed his gaze, and stopped talking.

This Nan Jinyu really doesn't look like that Nan Jinyu, but what does it have to do with it?

From the beginning, he met her, and she was naturally Nan Jinyu.

"Your Highness, this medicine ...... No problem. ”

After trying the medicine, Mr. Bai Poison put a few bottles of medicine and prescriptions together, but his expression was very solemn.

If it is a good medicine, but this method of relieving Gu is something that His Highness does not agree with, not to mention that His Highness did not intend to use her in medicine at the beginning, and now that the two have such entanglement, it is even more impossible......

"What do I say, the medicine is a good medicine."

Nan Jinyu nodded, and Mr. Baixin's expression confirmed her conjecture.

The fourth aunt mentioned to her that it was rumored that there was only one way to solve the Heart Gu, which was extremely dangerous and cruel. To put it simply, it is to take the raw bones and blood of the Gu person into medicine, cultivate the person into a medicine person, and lead the Heart Devouring Gu to the lower Gu person within 7749 days, and then supplement it with the blood of the Holy Maiden's descendant to remove the residual poison.

Not to mention whether she succeeds or not, she will only die faster if she takes advantage of both, and if both of them lose their lives, they still can't handle this Heart-Eating Gu.

"And then?"

Xiao Chen raised her eyebrows, not knowing whether to sigh that her heart was strong or heartless.

"The method is extremely dangerous, the success rate is extremely low, and it will kill people."

Without waiting for Mr. Bai Poison to speak, Nan Jinyu had already said it for him.

Princess Luo Sakura had already suspected it when she emphasized that she was taking this medicine, but now after looking at Mr. Baixin's expression, she was only more certain.

The world is so difficult, she wants to go back to her past life......

"You know everything?"

Mr. Bai Poison was surprised, and then thought about the fact that she put herself down before, and couldn't help but feel a little more regretful in her heart, she was a good seedling who used poison, but unfortunately she was destined to have a short life.

They all know His Highness's temperament very well, but if Miss Nan is really good for His Highness, it is not impossible to be willing to sacrifice herself, right?

"I guess, just confirmed."

Nan Jinyu pursed her lips, not knowing what this old man wanted to do.

She can discuss technical issues, but she can't......

"Alright, it's getting late, it's time to go back."

Xiao Chen stood up suddenly, and without waiting for Nan Jinyu to continue to communicate with Mr. Bai Poison, he dragged the person out of the door, as if there was a ghost chasing him behind him.

"Oops! Slow down! ”

Nan Jinyu trotted all the way to barely keep up with him, and couldn't help but complain in her heart.

This treatment is not as good as a pet, and the pet doesn't need to go by itself!

The poisonous lady and Mr. Hundred Poison glanced at each other and watched the carriage leave.

As the sun set, Nan Jinyu in the carriage was dizzy with hunger.

At lunch, she was so angry that Ji Lingfeng's arson was so angry that she didn't eat much, and after tossing for most of the day, she was already a little hypoglycemic at this time.

"I'm disappointed that I didn't let you stay?"

Seeing her listless appearance, Xiao Chen thought that she was still thinking about the antidote, so he spoke.

"Your Highness, I'm hungry."

Nan Jinyu blinked at him, thinking of the gift she had to give him earlier, so she went to look through the box.

"Go back to the store to get food, are you afraid that the main hall will starve you to death?"

Xiao Chen smiled, his eyes touched the box in her hand, and he was suddenly stunned.

The dazzling luster stabbed the eyes in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the eyes that were as bright as the stars were so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off.

"Pretty, isn't it?"

Nan Jinyu said proudly, closed the box in his hand, and handed it to him, "Happy birthday!" There's nothing you can get your hands on, and you don't lack it anyway, so I asked someone to make this after thinking about it. ”

"The birthday of the main hall is not today."

The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth twitched, but he still took the box.

The simple ebony box did not have any patterns on it, and when it was opened again, there was a starry crown of hair inside, but this material was not gold or silver, and even the gems on it had not been seen.

"I know! It's tomorrow, but tomorrow there is a big event in the court, the holy woman will meet the side and canonize the new concubine, and I don't know how long it will be when the palace banquet is over, and then if I can't find you again, won't it be delayed? ”

Nan Jinyu said something serious, completely ignoring her nervous look at the moment.

Diamonds or something, anyway, there are no ones in this era, and he will naturally know the meaning of it.

Her cheap uncle sent her a lot of strange things, including a large box of dazzling diamonds, and after thinking about it, she made this thing, after all, people had given her gold and jade and Nanhu pearls before, and it seemed too tacky to pay back the silver directly......

"Delayed for what?"

Xiao Chen looked at her, closed the box and put it aside, his face a little strange.

"Delay...... Give a gift! ”

Nan Jinyu blinked, feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong, as long as she talked about it.

"In the early years of the main hall, I was in the northwest frontier for a period of time, and I met many Persian merchants when the border market was opened."

Xiao Chen hooked the corner of his lower lip, glanced at the box next to him, and had something to say.

"Oh! So the glass candy that His Highness ate was also obtained at that time, right? No wonder Tsing Yi said that Yanjing didn't have it! ”

Nan Jinyu touched her nose and suddenly smelled a hint of danger.

"Not only that, but I've seen this thing too."

Xiao Chen pointed to the box, his jade white fingertips moved slightly, and he took out the hair crown inside, shining so brightly that people couldn't take their eyes off.

"Ahem! Your Highness has seen this? The courtiers thought it was a rarity! ”

Nan Jinyu was not calm, and suddenly felt that she should not give this thing, and reached out to snatch it back.

"Huh? How can there be any reason to go back to the things that have been given away? ”

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, the palm of his hand moved slightly, and the hair crown went to the other hand, avoiding Nan Jinyu's flying claws, and brought the person into his arms.

"Don't I regret it? You pay me back! I'll give you something specific tomorrow! ”

Nan Jinyu struggled to get it, but always failed at the last centimeter from the crown.

After tossing for a long time, things were always changed between Xiao Chen's left and right hands, and she hung on him like a sloth, tickling for a long time.

"No! Craftsmen use diamonds for delicate work, but the Persian merchants have another name, and if you give it away, where can you take it back? ”

Xiao Chen put the hair crown into the box with his backhand, and buckled the person with his backhand.

"Are the Persian merchants so good? What are their names......

Nan Jinyu was a little confused, she asked many people when they were sure that there was no such thing as diamonds in this era, so they dared to use it as jewelry, thinking that even if it could not be circulated as currency, it was a rare ornament!

"Lover's Stone."

A low laugh came from behind him, and when he heard Nan Jinyu's brain, he exploded immediately.

What kind of thing did she send out of here!

Look at the appearance of this demon, can you laugh at her about this for at least three years? Wrong! He's not laughing at her, he's ...... Think you've been in love with him for a long time and confess it, right?

"W-what, I can explain that."

Nan Jinyu swallowed her saliva, feeling that she was weak and helpless and trembling in the arms of this demon at the moment.

"Huh?"

Xiao Chen turned his head to look at her, and when he saw her complicated and confused look, he raised his eyebrows.

"It's just、It's just that I think it's good-looking......"

Nan Jinyu sighed, as if her life was more important than telling the truth.
