Chapter 23, sending snakes to the storm
But he said that Xun Feizhan was frightened by Xiao Jingning's abnormal state, and he didn't even ride a horse, so he took his light skills to the extreme. It takes an hour to ride a fast horse, and it takes less than half an hour to arrive.
Knowing Xun Feizhan's intention, Li Qianzhi and Lin Xi were very puzzled, Xiao Pingjing had just left here for less than an hour, jumping up and down, where did it seem that something was wrong? Although the master and apprentice were puzzled, they still took the medicine box and followed Xun Feizhan to the Changlin Palace.
And the news that the queen sent someone to the Changlin Palace's mansion to send snakes flew around like catkins blown by the wind, and the speed of circulation was so fast that the content was distorted to the point that it was unbelievable.
So when the snake had not yet been delivered to the Changlin Palace, Xun Baishui and Xiao Pingzhang, who were discussing government affairs, received such a news.
"Shousuke, Shizi is not good! The queen ordered someone to catch thousands of snakes and throw them to the Changlin Palace! ”
???
Xiao Pingzhang: Lord Shoufu, what is your sister stimulated?
Xun Baishui: No, no, no, Shizi, this must be a misunderstanding......
The two looked at each other for a while, and then went to Changlin Palace's mansion to see the situation.
The snake hadn't seen it yet, they took the first step to see Xun Feizhan, Meng Qianxue, Li Qianzhi and Lin Xi who were surrounding Xiao Pingjing, everyone had a solemn face, and Lin Xi was taking the pulse for Xiao Pingjing.
Xun Baishui's heart jumped, stepped forward and pulled Xun Feizhan over, and asked quietly, "What's going on?" Could it be that Niangniang really let people catch snakes and throw them at Changlin Palace? ”
Xun Feizhan looked at Xun Baishui blankly, and after thinking about it, this is indeed true, the queen mother did ask Su Ying to go to the Criminal Department to find a snake and send it to Changlin Palace, and the meaning was similar, so she nodded.
Xun Baishui only felt that his eyes were dark, "That second son was bitten by a snake?" What snake? Is it very toxic? ”
Xun Feizhan: ???
"What does Uncle mean by this?"
Xun Feizhan felt that he must have been busy and dizzy recently and didn't sleep well, why was today's things so weird?
Xiao Pingzhang, who listened to the conversation between Xun Feizhan and Xun Baishui, had already understood the situation with Meng Qianxue, not to mention thousands of snakes, even if they didn't even see a piece of snake skin. But he was so clear that he could deduce the general story of the matter from just a few words.
"Feizhan doesn't have to wonder, Lord Shoufu is about to be anxious, so he didn't make it clear." Xiao Pingzhang took over the conversation without waiting for Xun Baishui to speak, "Lord Fang Cai Shoufu and I are in the same place, and I heard that someone came to report that Niangniang sent someone to catch thousands of snakes and throw them into the Changlin Palace. ”
"Huh?" Xun Feizhan's eyes widened, "Who spread such outrageous news?" Niangniang did ask Su Ying to go to the Criminal Department to beg for snakes to be sent here, why did it become thousands? ”
At this time, Li Qianzhi and Lin Xi had already finished discussing the pulse and confirmed that Xiao Pingjing had been poisoned by a poison called Frost Bone.
Xiao Pingjing was nervous, and he didn't care at all about the solemn faces of several people, and he didn't say anything after a few turns, and even turned over a few heels, "I'm fine!" You don't have to worry, who am I, Xiao Pingjing? Rough skin and thick meat, isn't it a little poisonous, it's a little meaning~"
Lin Xi's voice was cold, but there was uncontrollable concern in his eyes: "Frost bone is the secret medicine of Night Qin, this poison is latent for seven days, if you eat the Xuanqi snake gallbladder luck before the poison, you can detoxify, after the poison, the heart is slowly exhausted, until the cold condenses into ice and dies, once the poison occurs, there is no medicine to cure." This is the sixth day. ”
With Lin Xi's explanation, the atmosphere became solemn, and in the end, it was Xun Baishui who took the lead in breaking the silence.
"Didn't Niang Niang let people send snakes? What about snakes? ”
At this time, Xun Baishui also came back to his senses, and he also understood, his sister-in-law should have known that Xiao Pingjing might have been poisoned, and the snake sent by him should be what is called Xuanyan, but it was just passed on, and it became thousands.
"This ......," Xun Feizhan scratched the back of her head, "At that time, Niangniang hurriedly ordered me to ask the two hall masters to give Pingjing the number vein, and let Su Ying go to the torture department to copy the snake from the Xuanling Cave, and no one came when I arrived." ”
At this time, the person who sent the snake from the criminal department was finally late.
When he saw the appearance of the Changlin Palace, the person who came to send the snake trembled, his legs and stomach trembled, and he raised the snake to his chest as a defensive position, as if he could protect himself in this way, "This, this, this...... Shizi ...... It's not like the lower officials are coming...... This is a sissy ...... The queen asked her to send ......"
Before he finished speaking, the cage in his hand was gone, but it was Meng Qianxue who snatched the cage away, and there was no bird at all who was so frightened that he didn't know what to say.
The man looked at this extraordinary princess in amazement, only to see her fingers pinch, dismantle the door of the cage, grab the seven inches of the snake like lightning, and hand it to Lin Xi.
"Miss Lin, look at this snake, right?"
Lin Xi leaned over to take a look, nodded, and didn't speak, turned over his hand, and a small knife appeared in his hand, quickly and accurately pierced into the chest and abdomen of the snake's body, neatly dug out the snake gall, handed it to Xiao Pingjing, who was stunned, and said coldly: "Eat it!" ”
Xiao Pingjing obediently took the snake gall bladder, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it without even tasting the taste.
"Fast luck is gone!"
Xiao Pingjing, who was still stunned, didn't say a word, meditated on the ground, and got lucky.
I thought in a daze: Sister-in-law and Miss Lin are really tough, are they really women? Aren't all women afraid of snakes? Sure enough, the books are all lies, the women he has known since he was a child...... When his mother saw a snake, she would make it into snake soup, and it tasted pretty good. Look at the sister-in-law's skillful snake catching technique, this kind of thing must be done, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, maybe many of the snakes used in the snake soup stewed by his mother are the credit of the sister-in-law. Looking at Lin Xi's neat and neat efforts to dig out snakes, it is obvious that he is also a regular worker.
Well, either the women he knows are not ordinary women, or they are written wrong in the book.
In the interval between Xiao Pingjing's luck and chemical medicine, Xiao Pingzhang thanked the already frightened man for several weeks, and politely sent the person out. Then Xun Feizhan inquired about the situation before and after the queen's order, and the whole thing became clear.
"Thanks to the queen mother this time," Xiao Pingzhang saluted in the direction of the palace, and then saluted Xun Baishui, Xun Feizhan and Li Qianzhilin Xi, "If it weren't for the mother and you, I'm afraid that the younger brother would be more auspicious." ”
Seeing that things were not as he imagined, Xiao Pingjing also survived the crisis without danger, Xun Baishui said goodbye to Xiao Pingzhang. Xun Feizhan scratched the back of his head, and also left with his uncle and went to Jingyang Palace to resume his life.
Although some arrangements were made when he left Jifengtang, and the epidemic situation has stabilized, but now the patients are not completely well, and it is not good to stay outside for a long time, Li Qianzhi left Lin Xi and returned to Jifengtang.
After the frightened snake messenger of the criminal department left, the rumors about the queen sending the snake not only failed to stop, but also rushed in an incredible direction.
