Chapter 57: Suspicion
The medicine kings of the past dynasties of the Medicine King Valley are known as the hidden medical immortals, who can live the dead, flesh and bones.
It's just that the ancestors made a rule: you must not meddle in mortal things, so few people in this world have seen the true face of Lushan.
Before this trip, Gu Huanli had always thought that the medicine king was probably a white-haired old man, but how could he expect to see such a young woman today, it was really unbelievable.
For a while, Gu Huanli and Qin Wei's master and servant were both stunned, and they didn't say anything for a long time.
Xu was aware of the hesitation of the two, and then Xi Zhi spoke: "Why, Your Highness saw that I was a woman, and I was faintly disappointed?" ”
Hearing this, Gu Huanli hurriedly came back to his senses: "Girl, oh no, Your Excellency misunderstood, I just didn't expect Your Excellency to be so young, and the women didn't let you shave your eyebrows." ”
These words touched the sycophants of Xi Zhi, the medical fairy, and she immediately smiled: "I can't imagine that His Royal Highness the Fierce King, whom everyone fears, is so gentle, and it seems that those rumors from the outside world cannot be fully believed." ”
That's natural, although Gu Huanli is known for his ferocity on weekdays, but in the face of major rights and wrongs, he will not be like some laypeople who can't put down the shelf.
This time is not only a matter of asking for others, but also a matter of life and death, so he naturally won't play with it.
After joking and joking, seeing that Gu Huanli was still peaceful, Xizhi stepped into the theme.
It's just that she actually set her eyes on Qin Xiao beside Gu Huanli.
"This is ......," Xi Zhi looked up and down at Qin Xiao.
Qin Wei hurriedly stepped forward: "Under Qin Wei, it is His Highness's personal guard. ”
"You, sick?" Xi Zhi asked such a sentence for no reason, and Qin Wei didn't know how to answer for a while.
After a pause, Gu Huanli seemed to understand what Xi Zhi meant, and then hurriedly explained: "There are other people who are sick. ”
Hearing this, Xi Zhi was speechless: "Just now I allowed His Highness to bring one person into the valley, that is, to ask His Highness to bring a seriously ill person, what does His Highness mean by bringing a guard, do you think that my Medicine King Valley will be unfavorable to Your Highness?" ”
Gu Huanli shook his head and denied: "Your Excellency's words are serious, and you don't have this intention, it's just that the person who is seriously ill is far away in Jiangnan at the moment, and he can't withstand the long-distance bumps at all." ”
This time, Xi Zhi understood it: "Therefore, His Highness came this time, or is he going to invite me out of the valley?" ”
Gu Huanli knew that this was difficult for some strong people, but at the moment, there was no other way, so he could only bite the bullet and speak: "Exactly, please help your Excellency." ”
Seeing this, Xi Zhi couldn't help but laugh contemptuously: "Your Highness has offered a heavy reward before, and sent your cronies to come, if I remember correctly, I have already made Gu Gui very clear earlier, why should His Highness come in person now, don't you want to force it with strong authority?" ”
It seems that Gu Huanli's reputation outside is really not very good.
Unable to allow His Highness to be slandered like this, Qin Xiao immediately explained: "Your Highness has sincerely come to plead with Your Excellency the Medical Immortal this time, why should Your Highness be so mean?" ”
Hearing this, before Xi Zhi could speak, Gu Huanli had already lowered her face and signaled that Qin Wei must not be rude, and she didn't care.
However, rules are rules, whether it is forced by strong authority or honest pleading, the people of Medicine King Valley will not meddle in trivial matters.
Xi Zhi immediately turned his back and said: "I have made it very clear, if Your Highness insists on spending in the valley, I will not stop it, but the one in Jiangnan can survive for a few days, and please consider it yourself, I still have important things to do, and I will not accompany you." ”
Anyway, no matter how Gu Huanli reacted, Xi Zhi had already brushed her sleeves away.
There were only two masters and servants left in the hall, Qin Wei finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, over the years, no one had ever been so presumptuous in front of his Royal Highness.
"Your Highness, this medical immortal doesn't take you seriously so much, why do we need to beg her again?" Qin Wei said indignantly.
Gu Huanli was just helpless: "If you don't beg her, what should Lu Xuan do?" ”
Speaking of Lu Xuan, and remembering the words left by Xi Zhi before leaving, Qin Wei suddenly felt a little reasonable, and hesitated for a while before he said:
"Your Highness, my subordinates think that what the medical immortal said is reasonable, if you go back at this time, maybe you can see Lord Lu for the last ......"
"Shut up!" Before Qin Wei finished speaking, Gu Huanli had already stopped sharply: "Hugh is talking nonsense!" Now that the king has come, he will not return in vain. ”
Here, Gu Huanli swore an oath, and on the other side, Lin Wei, who was ordered to investigate the murder of the butcher shopkeeper, finally had an eyebrow.
Gu Huanli was not there, and it happened to catch up with Lu Xuan to wake up, so Lin Wei had to inform her of this-
"Lord Lu, the matter of Dou San has already mastered some evidence."
Lu Xuan woke up, his expression was still a little dazed, and it wasn't until he heard Lin Wei mention this matter that he barely came to his senses.
"There is a Laulin guard, I don't know what the Lin guard has found?" Lu Xuan asked weakly.
Lin Wei told her the cause and effect of the incident.
To put it simply, from the murder of the butcher shop owner, the raging plague in Jiangnan, to Lu Xuan's accusation of being the initiator, this incident and each one were premeditated.
It was a person with a heart who operated in the dark, deliberately using an impostor letter to guide Dou to approach Lu Xuan step by step, and firmly believed that she was the real murderer.
Although the identity of the person behind the scenes has not yet been ascertained, it is enough to see that this is definitely a long-planned false accusation based on the human and physical evidence brought back by Lin Wei.
After learning the truth of the matter, Lu Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, she couldn't imagine that she was framed so much by someone so much in the first position and Qipin, she was really a little curious about which old enemy was so anxious.
"Does Your Highness know about this?" Lu Xuan suddenly thought of Gu Huanli, if this person had premeditated, he must have been framed in the plan.
mentioned Gu Huanli, Lin Wei then remembered that Lu Xuan had been unconscious for the past few days, and he didn't know what was happening in the mansion.
"Lord Lu doesn't know, His Royal Highness personally went to the Medicine King Valley, and at this moment, he has probably seen the medicine immortal senior in the Medicine King Valley." Lin Wei had one thing to say, but the others didn't say much.
On the contrary, Lu Xuan couldn't help but conjecture: Did you go to the Medicine King Valley in person for me?
"Lord Lu, Lord Lu?" Lin Wei called the distracted Lu Xuan back: "Your Highness handed over this case to Lord Lu for adjudication, I don't know what Lord Lu plans to do now?" ”
In fact, Lin Wei probably wanted to ask Lu Xuan what he wanted, but she couldn't wait to prove her innocence.
Before Lin Wei could come back to his senses, Lu Xuan had already dragged his long-ill body and stumbled up from the bed.
Seeing this, Lin Wei was suddenly anxious, and before Gu Huanli left, he told him to protect Lu Xuan well.
Right now, if there is anything wrong with her posture, I am afraid that the one who enters the door will be able to take Lin Wei's life.
Lin Wei was in a hurry and wanted to ask Lu Xuan to sit down, but her daughter's body and her own highness were still from her own highness, so she didn't dare to help or touch it, but it made it difficult for him.
Fortunately, the girl who came in to deliver the medicine took this hot potato for Lin Wei.
The little girl was holding a medicine bowl in her hand, and when she entered the door, she saw Lu Xuan's desperate appearance, so she was so frightened that she hurriedly put down the medicine bowl and rushed up to help: "Lord Lu, Lord Lu, your body has not recovered yet." ”
The little girl rushed towards Lu Xuan, Lin Wei thought that she was relieved, but she remembered something in a trance.
Lu Xuan is a daughter, if this girl finds out that she has leaked the news, won't she cause Gu Huanli to kill herself?
Seeing that the little girl was about to stretch out her hand, Lin Wei hurriedly stopped: "Men and women don't kiss, I'll take care of Lord Lu, you go down first." ”
In this way, Lin Wei had no choice but to go up hard, and while carefully holding Lu Xuan's thin wrist, he said to Gu Huanli a hundred times in his heart that he couldn't help it.
Although Lu Xuan insisted on meeting Dou San face-to-face, he was helplessly trapped in a sick body, and he didn't even have the strength to stand firm under his feet.
Seeing this, Lin Wei hurriedly helped Lu Xuan back to the bed and lay down, and then finally breathed a sigh of relief and left behind closed doors.
After touching a stick of incense, Lu Xuan opened his eyes again in a daze, thinking about the case in his heart, and left in a hurry as soon as he woke up.
At this moment, something surprising to her was that she was able to get out of bed and even move around the room without any difficulty.
This is really incomprehensible, the Imperial Doctor has tried many methods before to no avail, and now it can be cured in an instant without medicine?
Isn't it that this time the prescription finally worked?
With this thought, Lu Xuan immediately walked towards the decoction on the table with joy.
When the maid brought the medicine over, she happened to faint, and after a long time, there was no heat at all.
But since this medicine worked, even if it was cold, Lu Xuan had to endure it and drink it all.
In this way, Lu Xuan immediately picked up the medicine bowl and sent it to his lips, and a pungent bitter taste suddenly came to his face, which made people feel unpleasant.
"The smell of this medicine is too strong." Lu Xuan's face was full of disgust, but who called good medicine bitter and good for disease?
"No matter." Lu Xuan was about to breathe, but his vague consciousness seemed to be awakened by the pungent smell: "No, this smell ......"
Lu Xuan's small body is not good, and he is extremely sensitive to the smell of the decoction, although he can't smell the ingredients, it is not difficult to judge the general situation.
If she remembered correctly, since Sheng Jing's imperial doctors took over, the decoction fed to her has always been like this.
In this way, it must not be the drug that works.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but wonder: "Drinking medicine every day doesn't get better, but I accidentally forgot to drink the medicine but it has improved greatly, is it the medicine ......?"
Although such a suspicion seemed absurd, it was not impossible, after all, she had long known that there were spies among the imperial doctors, but she never thought that she would extend her claws to herself.
At present, Gu Huanli is far away, and Lu Xuan can't trust others, so he can only follow his own guess and give it a try.
After that, whenever someone brought medicine in, Lu Xuan always pretended to be unwell, delayed waiting for others to leave, and then got up and poured the decoction into the flower pot.
This lasted for only three days, and Lu Xuan's body gradually returned to normal, and it happened that Ye Liufeng returned from traveling at this time, and then he realized that there was something strange about it.
