Chapter 254
Then he looked at Su Jinyao, put on a young and old look, and said, "You also used blood to feed the Divine Gu King?" And have a heart pact with it? ”
Su Jinyao thought that the "Heart Contract" that Cang Qianyuan said should be a reason for Zhu Xinsuo to tell him to communicate with the Divine Gu King with his mind. There was nothing to hide about this, so he nodded.
Cang Qianyuan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xi Luo'er again, and said to her: "The same is to feed Gu with blood, she succeeded." ”
Xi Qiu'er gasped, looking at Su Jinyao's eyes full of Tong (qíng) and shock.
Su Jinyao understood that Xi Shen'er must have remembered her experience of being forced to raise Gu in the first place. But now that I think about it, the process of cultivating this Divine Gu King in the first place was indeed a process of pain and blood.
If it weren't for Gu Xuebin, Su Jinyao might not be able to persevere, not to mention that Xiluo'er is still such a little girl.
However, Su Jinyao had already memorized the tune of Cang Qianyuan playing the bone flute. Although she is not proficient in music, Gu Xuebin can play the guqin, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Rather than passively begging for someone, not to mention that it is still a kid like Cang Qianyuan who is a big ghost and difficult to control, and his mother is still a person from the enemy camp, of course Su Jinyao has to choose to find her own way.
All the goals were achieved, and everyone who wanted to know knew it, so Su Jinyao issued an eviction order. Let Xi Shen'er send Cang Qianyuan away.
However, in order to lay a good foundation, Su Jinyao agreed with Cang Qianyuan to take Xiluo'er out to play. As for what they play, whether it is playing at home or giving birth to dolls, Su Jinyao doesn't care.
Of course, if they can give birth at this age, it is not Su Jinyao who should have a heart. Anyway, there are emperors and nobles who are grandfathers (nǎi) (nǎi).
Xi Shen'er and Cang Qianyuan left, and Su Jinyao immediately ordered her Divine Gu King Xiao Fat to devour the other two Gu.
The tense situation before has actually made Xiaopang anxious. Now that Su Jinyao's mind moved, it completely recovered the Gu King's essence (xìng), rushed straight in front of the colorful Gu worm, and the brain shell slammed into it, and then spit out a mouthful of glue-like Gu poison.
The little chubby Gu poison is slightly inferior to the Gu poison of the giant ant, and now it can only be in the state of glue. If you move up another level, you'll be very close to the poisonous wire.
Su Jinyao predicted that if there was enough food here, Xiao Pang would be able to eat one or two poisonous Gu every day, and he would be able to advance in less than ten days.
But Su Jinyao was also worried, was there a more powerful Gu like the Giant Ant God Gu King in the hands of the Yugui people? In case (qíng) is released when the situation is unknown, it will be the little fat girl who is used as food.
While thinking about how to maximize the use of the surrounding Gu insect resources, Su Jinyao began to refine the antidote with the poisonous Gu silk she had obtained yesterday.
Although the number of Gu silk is not large, they are all extremely poisonous, but they can let Su Jinyao experiment a little so that she can develop the most perfect antidote.
Su Jinyao's feelings for the dean's mother (qíng) have now been transferred to the queen mother's (shēn), so Su Jinyao is also very serious about doing things.
Unconsciously, more than an hour passed, and Su Jinyao heard movement at the door. She thought that Xi Shen'er had come back after playing with the four princes, so she asked without raising her head: "Are you back?" Hungry or not? I'm hungry too. ”
"Hungry? Haven't eaten yet? Gu Xuebin's voice sounded, and then the figure flickered, and a pair of arms came over horizontally, and Su Jinyao was hugged into his arms.
Su Jinyao was stunned, she didn't expect Gu Xuebin to come here in broad daylight, and hug herself so boldly, where is the majesty of this crown prince (diàn)?
"Don't make a fuss, I'm dispensing medicine." Su Jinyao struggled slightly, looked outside again, and then said, "Why are you yourself?" It seems that you don't have so many taboos when you come and go to the palace, and you don't even have an entourage on the side? ”
"Yes, I'm waiting outside." After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he looked outside.
Su Jinyao took the opportunity to look over, and saw that under the steps outside her room, there were two large rows of palace maids and chamberlains, obviously the pomp in the prince (diàn) Xia Ping (rì) is not small. There was also a light sheep cart parked aside, and two snow-white long-haired sheep pulled the cart.
"That's your car, huh? 好可 (ài). "It's the first time Su Jinyao has seen a sheep pulling a cart.
The two long-haired sheep were even stronger than her little black, with long legs and fine, soft fur. And the long white hair is neatly combed, and it is divided equally from the back on both sides, as if it is wearing a white cloak.
Gu Xuebin nodded helplessly and said: "No way, the speed of the high-headed horse-drawn cart is too fast, I'm afraid it will hurt people, the ox cart and donkey cart are also unsightly, and the rickshaw I think is too slow, so I can only choose the sheep cart." But the two sheep ran steadily and fast, and never barked. ”
The reason why it is said that carriages are easy to hurt people is because most of the people living in the harem are concubines and concubines, and most of them (shēn) are serving palace maids.
Imagine a woman walking on a road, and if she is a flower or a willow, she takes small steps, her skirt is long, and her movements are inflexible. If a tall and horse-drawn carriage comes on, it is difficult to dodge, so the carriage is actually an unwritten (jìn) taboo in the palace.
Su Jinyao asked him again: "Then what are you here for?" Could it be that the crown prince (diàn) has nothing to do all day? ”
"Of course not." Gu Xuebin hugged Su Jinyao and gently touched her earlobe, and then said, "I just came back from the next dynasty and asked the imperial grandmother to come here." By the way, I would like to ask you how this antidote is prepared. ”
"You said you were dispensing medicine, and you came to make trouble." Su Jinyao struggled again, and then struggled out of Gu Xuebin's arms, and then said: "I already have eyebrows, I will definitely be able to make medicine tonight, and at the latest tomorrow morning, I can give it to my grandmother (nǎi) (nǎi), and then I am six or seven percent sure that I can let the Empress Dowager's Gu poison be cleared once (xìng)." ”
After Su Jinyao finished speaking, Gu Xuebin's brows furrowed, and he looked at Su Jinyao (yù) and stopped. Su Jinyao felt strange when she found that Gu Xuebin (yù) had stopped talking. He has had such a table (qíng) more than once in the past two days, is there something he can't say to himself? Or do you have to watch out for someone else?
"Xuebin, your watch (qíng) is so strange." Su Jinyao didn't ask directly, but she also had some sense of waking up, hoping that Gu Xuebin could explain to her.
Gu Xuebin frowned and said, "Jin Yao, I just want to tell you, let's leave a back hand when it's over." The palace gate is as deep as the sea, and (qíng) means thinner than paper; Nothing is truly reliable. ”
"What about you?" Su Jinyao asked directly: "I can not trust anyone, so I can't even trust you?" ”
"Only I will not bear you or bully you in my life, but will only love you, (ài) you, and protect you." After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he fell into Su Jinyao's ear and said softly, "Help me keep an eye on Aunt Ma." ”
"Hmm." Su Jinyao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Previously, Su Jinyao mentioned in front of the Queen Mother that she and Aunt Ma had found Gu worms in the courtyard of the Yuguiren, and Gu Xuebin's table (qíng) was very strange. At that time, Su Jinyao suspected that Gu Xuebin was wary of the Queen Mother or Aunt Ma.
But think about it, one is his imperial grandmother, and the other is his (rǔ) mother. Even when she entered the palace by herself, Gu Xuebin was waiting for her in the Huxin Pavilion (qíng), which was arranged with Aunt Ma's help, did Gu Xuebin still suspect Aunt Ma?
Seeing that Su Jinyao's eyes were a little puzzled, Gu Xuebin shook his head and said, "Don't ask now, with your cleverness, you will know soon." Jinyao, don't worry, I won't put you in danger. ”
"Xuebin, the last thing you need to scruple about is me. I've never been afraid of danger, and no one can deal with me. Su Jinyao hooked Gu Xuebin's neck with her backhand, leaned her head on his arms for a while, and then said, "Although you deploy according to your own plan, don't take me into account." I'm not going to hold you back. ”
Gu Xuebin hugged Su Jinyao's waist tighter and said, "Fool, if you are in danger, what else can I deploy?" I'd rather go away safely with you. ”
"Alright, don't say these sour and sticky (qíng) words. You're just in time, I'll hum you a tune, and it's easiest for you to help me figure out what instrument to play on. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she hummed out the tune of playing the bone flute when she was playing the Cangqianyuan Imperial Gu.
Gu Xuebin listened and said, "This is the sound of the flute." Of course, it's best to play it on a flute. ”
Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "It's not that simple. First of all, I couldn't play the flute, so it was difficult to learn it from scratch. Because it takes me a short time to master it all. Second, this kind of flute is very rare, even if I still learn to find someone to customize one, it may not have such a sound quality, and I can't play such a tune. If there is a slight deviation, I am afraid that I will be in danger from (shēn). So I want you to help me think about what kind of instrument to use instead, which can be the same tone, and it is easier and easier. ”
"That's a whistle instead." After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he took out the jade flute whistle he was carrying, handed it to Su Jinyao and said, "I said before that I would teach you the art of bird control, and now I will give you this jade flute whistle, you can learn it well." ”
Su Jinyao looked at the jade flute whistle repeatedly and asked, "This can play the few syllables I hum?" ”
Gu Xuebin said: "In principle, it is possible, because this tone is very simple and does not need a wide range. But it's also about the person who plays it, and what I can play the tune you can't. ”
"Is there anything simpler?" Su Jinyao returned the jade flute whistle to Gu Xuebin and said, "As long as it can replace the bone flute, you can play the syllables just now." You also want to control the bird of this jade flute whistle, you are much more useful than me holding it, of course, you still have to make the best use of it. ”
Gu Xuebin felt that what Su Jinyao said made sense. Neither of them is blind and does not impulsively lose their minds because of one thing (qíng).
Therefore, the phrase "make the best use of things" is completely reasonable, and there is no need for him to insist that Su Jinyao accept this jade flute whistle that does not have much effect on her.
Gu Xuebin thought for a while and said, "It should be possible to replace it with Tao Xun." There will be differences in sound, but Tao Xun is easier to play, and the technique is not skilled in time, so it is okay to forcibly memorize such simple syllables. ”
"Okay, you help me find a suitable Tao Xun, I want to learn it as soon as possible." After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she pointed to her stomach again and said, "You heard me say that I was hungry from the moment you entered the door, but until now you are just talking to me, and you don't mean to invite me to dinner?" ”
Gu Xuebin suddenly realized that when he just entered the door, Su Jinyao said that he hadn't eaten yet. But the two of them forgot about this stubble as they talked.
"Damn it, I'll order someone to prepare it now." After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he reluctantly let go of Su Jinyao's slender waist and went to the door to greet someone to prepare lunch.
Then he turned back to Su Jinyao and said, "Jinyao, I can't have lunch with you, and the time for me to enter the palace is almost here, so I can't delay." I'm afraid I won't be able to come tonight, so take care. ”
Su Jinyao nodded, not intending to force him to stay. Everyone has something to do (qíng) to do, so why covet this moment's effort?
Now it's extraordinary times, everything seems so weird, the relationship is so complicated that no one can be trusted, they are always sticky and tired together, and sooner or later something will happen.
Su Jinyao watched Gu Xuebin get into the sheep cart and leave, and the two white sheep ran with one (shēn) long hair, which was even more elegant.
Shortly after, lunch arrived. There is a large table full of Dengdeng, full of color, fragrance and taste, and it is a pleasure to look at and smell it.
Su Jinyao knew that this was what the real palace chef made, so she quickly put down the things in her hand, washed her hands and sat down to eat.
In the evening, the antidote that Su Jinyao had studied made a pill. However, what is the effect of this pill antidote, Su Jinyao still needs to conduct further experiments. As for how to test it, of course, she tried the medicine herself.
Zhu Xinsuo is a very dedicated person, he has reached the point of obsession with medicine, and at the same time has a deep understanding of the meaning of the doctor.
He repeatedly told Su Jinyao that the heart of the doctor's parents must not be experimented with the patient's own illness (shēn); The more uncertain the drug, the first person who makes the drug must try it.
So Su Jinyao decided to try the efficacy of this antidote first, and then consider whether to improve the formula or give it to the Queen Mother as a real antidote.
In order to ensure that she could understand the true medicinal effect, Su Jinyao gritted her teeth and took out the bamboo tube containing the giant ant god Gu King. Su Jinyao opened the stopper of the bamboo tube, poured the Divine Gu King into the palm of her hand, and then took out a silver needle from between her hair and pricked it in the stomach of the giant ant.
Although this needle did not prick the giant ant to death, its stomach was the weakest point. The fierce pain made it immediately go bernic, and when he lowered his head, he took a hard bite on Su Jinyao's palm.
The venom of the Giant Ant God Gu King could already be condensed into Gu silk, and now it was bitten into Su Jinyao's palm, so that she could even feel the pain of the Gu silk piercing into (ròu).
At the same time, the pain accompanied by the burning of the venom made Su Jinyao's nerves tense in an instant. It seemed that the poison (xìng) of this giant ant god Gu King was far stronger than she had imagined.
Su Jinyao hurriedly put the giant ant back into the bamboo tube, stuffed the plug and put it aside, and immediately treated the wound on her hand.
In order to prevent the venom from spreading, Su Jinyao quickly rubbed off a piece of the pill she had just refined with her fingernails and pressed it on the wound in the palm of her hand. Only then did he swallow the rest of the pill.
In this way, the method of external application and internal administration can effectively control the venom, and Su Jinyao now hopes that her estimation is not wrong, and the dosage is also appropriate.
Sitting quietly and waiting for a while, Su Jinyao felt that the time was very long. When she and Zhu Xinsuo were on the mountain, they had already tried the medicine many times. But in the past, with Zhu Xinsuo in charge, Su Jinyao could survive every time without danger.
But this time was different, not only did she have to complete the process of testing the medicine alone, but she also had to face such a poisonous Divine Gu King, which made her suddenly feel a little scared, worried about whether she was too reckless?
The poison (xìng) has been slowed down, but it is still working, and Su Jinyao feels as if her palms are about to be burned through, and the pain is like holding a charcoal in her hand.
Just when Su Jinyao was enduring the pain of testing the medicine, the little chubby girl on her (shēn) suddenly reacted. first moved anxiously for a while, and then crawled out of Su Jinyao's cuffs and climbed all the way to Su Jinyao's shoulders.
Immediately, there was a sound of footsteps, as if a large number of people were walking in this direction.
Su Jinyao's heart sank slightly, and she realized that her Divine Gu King had a sense, and some of these people who came were with Gu, and they were also very powerful Gu.
And the people in this palace who can carry Gu worms, who else can there be besides Yuguiren?
In fact, there is no need to think about it, Su Jinyao also knows that she got several Gu from Yuguiren yesterday, and there is also a giant ant god Gu King, and it is impossible for Yuguiren not to find out.
But Su Jinyao gambled that the noble people would not come to the door because of the face of the queen mother.
But obviously she was wrong, the nobles dared to poison the Queen Mother, what else did she not dare? So now that he is approached by the nobles, there is nothing strange about it.
Su Jinyao looked down at the wound in her palm, the bite was not serious, and there was not much blood on the wound. But what is powerful is the poison of the Gu silk, which is still attacking.
However, fortunately, the effect of the medicine continued to work, the pain was also reduced, and Su Jinyao's movement was not restricted.
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the nobles for a while, someone had already come to the door quickly.
Su Jinyao didn't get up (shēn), kept her calm and looked up at the door, and saw that a little eunuch had already run over, stood at the door and took a look, and ran back again.
It is estimated that this little eunuch came to see the situation (qíng) and then went back to report the news.
After waiting for a while, an older palace maid came this time, and her gait seemed very calm. After coming to the door, he looked at Su Jinyao and said directly: "You are Su Jinyao?" Come back with me outside. ”
Su Jinyao stood up slowly, glanced at the palace maid coldly, and said in a deep voice: "I'm busy, I don't have time." ”
