Chapter 257: Mysterious Characters Help Each Other
This person is the eldest grandson Yun who has long been hidden here, and at this moment, he has already changed into a light outfit, and the sword in his hand goes straight to the face of the man in black.
The two fought a few moves, the man in black was obviously not Changsun Yun's opponent, and gradually fell into formation, Changsun Yun took the opportunity to pounce forward, but he didn't think that the man in black came to a golden cicada to shed his shell, so that Changsun Yun tore off a large piece of clothing on his back, and his body rolled down and crawled away along the eaves.
The eldest grandson Yun was about to catch up, when he heard a loud voice, "Catch the assassin......"
Changsun Yun frowned, turned around, and climbed down the ridge.
The next day, the emperor came down, "Xia Meng stared at lawlessness, and used medicinal herbs with infectious diseases to make medicinal food, causing a large-scale plague in the whole capital, and chose three days later to ask for beheading." ”
This order, the whole capital was shocked, although it was not announced whether there was any infectious disease in the medicinal diet of the Jiancun Pavilion, but it was generally right to see that the emperor issued such a holy decree.
The Prime Minister's Mansion was implicated, and the entire Jiancun Pavilion was also imprisoned, and the once beautiful Prime Minister's Mansion and the Jiancun Pavilion were defeated overnight, which is embarrassing.
At night, Xia Mengning was sitting in the cell to regulate her breath, when a jailer-like person came over, opened the door and said, "It's time to eat." ”
Xia Mengning opened her eyes and looked, and saw that the jailer was putting the food on the ground, looked around, and when she looked at Xia Mengning, she was a little staring.
Xia Mengning stood up, walked over and brought up the food, an ordinary bowl of rice and a plate of fried vegetables, Xia Mengning looked carefully, and saw that there seemed to be something wrong with the bamboo chopsticks, and secretly made a force in his hand, so he pinched the bamboo chopsticks.
Sure enough, the bamboo chopsticks were hollow, and there was a note that had been rolled into a roll, Xia Mengning reached out and took it, opened it and saw that a few words were densely written on the note, which was a prescription.
Xia Mengning squinted her eyes and smiled, she had finally waited for the letter from the eldest grandson Yun for so many days.
In the past few days, since the emperor decided to execute himself, he has been transferred to the dungeon to guard, and the people here are all from the emperor, so naturally it is not the eldest grandson Yun who came in as soon as he said.
Xia Mengning looked at the prescription in her hand carefully, and couldn't help frowning, she stared at the prescription in front of her tightly, and suddenly remembered something special.
The pollen of the pond flower is poisonous on this day, but it has been recorded in the medical book that if it is boiled with the root of chamomile and smeared on the position of three points below the navel, this toxicity can be relieved.
Now the most important thing is how to get yourself out and use this method to give it a try.
Xia Mengning frowned, she knew that she would not be able to be released no matter what, but time was very urgent, Xia Mengning thought of this, and couldn't help but reach out and take out a small paper bag from her arms, which she found from the body of the woman who had died at the time of the incident, and it was the medicinal food material of the Jiancun Pavilion.
If it is poisonous, if you eat it, you can detoxify yourself, and in this way, you can prove your innocence.
Xia Mengning thought about it, reached out and opened the paper bag, he was going to gamble now.
The white fingers uncovered the paper bag layer by layer, and at this moment, a low 'ho ho' sound came, Xia Mengning was startled, and hurriedly turned his head, only to see a person lying on the top of his head, the man couldn't see his face clearly, and could only see a vague black shadow.
The structure of this dungeon is very peculiar, all the prisoners are held in different cages one by one, each cage is tightly connected, and one person is locked up and down.
Xia Mengning was in a cage, with stone walls on both sides, but there was another person above his head, Xia Mengning looked up, only to see that the person was lying in the gap about a palm wide and looking down, laughing, and said, "Little girl, what are you holding in your hand?" ”
The voice was low and cold, making people involuntarily get goosebumps when they heard it, Xia Mengning calmed down, moved to the side, and said, "Who are you?" ”
When the man heard this, he couldn't help but laugh a few times, "Being locked up in a dungeon, he is naturally a prisoner, and he is not an ordinary prisoner...... Hahahaha......"
This laughter was so poignant that people couldn't help but be frightened when they heard it, Xia Mengning darkened his eyes, estimating that this person might be a madman who had been trapped in the dungeon for a long time, so he lost his mind.
Xia Mengning turned around, walked to the stone wall and sat down, ignoring the person above his head.
The man was stunned, stretched out his hand and pulled away the hair on his face, revealing a dark face, and said, "Little girl, what you are holding in your hand is the pollen of Tianchi flowers." ”
Xia Mengning was stunned for a moment, a little surprised in his heart, how could this person know what he was doing, the light here was extremely dark, there was only a small candle lamp flickering on the wall, although the distance between the two was not far, it was not so easy to see clearly.
Xia Mengning thought of this, raised her head and said, "Senior, you're right, what I'm holding in my hand is the pollen of Tianchi Flower, but I don't know how my predecessor knows?" ”
When the man heard this, he laughed loudly, this voice made people can't help but feel numb after listening to it, Rao is Xia Mengning's heart is strong, but also a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, after the man laughed a few times, he stopped laughing and said: "Little girl, for the sake of you calling me a senior, I will tell you, the pollen of the pond flower this day is highly poisonous, if this person accidentally eats it, there is a chance that he will die." ”
Xia Mengning nodded and said, "How did the seniors know?" ”
The man laughed a few times and said, "I was harmed by this thing and went into this dungeon, and no one in this world knows it better than I do." ”
As he spoke, the man pulled his hair away, wiped it on his face with his hand, and said, "Little girl, seeing that you are dressed so well, you must be the daughter of a big family, what happened?" ”
Xia Mengning smiled bitterly and didn't make a sound, just fiddled with the paper bag in her hand and hesitated.
The man saw Xia Mengning concentrating on studying the paper bag in his hand, and wondered: "You are holding this thing, do you want to commit suicide?" ”
Xia Mengning smiled and said, "How come? ”
And he told the man what had happened.
When the man heard this, he also spoke with a hint of admiration, and said, "Little girl, you are so kind-hearted, the old man will help you once." ”
Xia Mengning was puzzled, and saw something suddenly fall from the top of his head, with a little dust, and fell at Xia Mengning's feet.
Xia Mengning was stunned for a moment, reached out to pick it up, and a voice came from overhead, "Little girl, this is the sworn enemy of Tianchi pollen, you use it in water to boil it, and distribute it to those who are sick, the medicine is very effective." ”
Xia Mengning opened the paper package suspiciously, and saw that it was a large white paste-like object, she lowered her head to sniff, a unique fragrance spread, Xia Mengning carefully captured the ingredients, and smiled, this is really the natural enemy of Tianchi pollen.
Xia Mengning was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Thank you seniors......"
There was a rustling voice overhead, "Okay, I'm going to sleep, it's been so many years, it's time to be a leader......"
Xia Mengning blinked and saw that there was no sound above his head, so he put the bowl containing the rice on the ground, poured out the rice, and only one bowl remained, slammed it against the wall, took the broken porcelain and shouted loudly: "Come on, ......"
When Xia Mengning was invited into the Heart Cultivation Palace, the wrist of her left hand was already bloodstained, and the people in the dungeon were too stubborn to report to the emperor for her no matter what, and in desperation, Xia Mengning had to threaten her own life.
"The little girl Xia Mengning, I have seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
Changsun Han's gaze moved away from the fold, looked at Xia Mengning who was kneeling underneath, his gaze stayed on her wrist, paused, and said, "Get up." ”
Xia Mengning stood up, looked at the eldest grandson Han and said, "Your Majesty, the little girl has a way to cure the plague. ”
Eldest Sun Han was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh? ”
Xia Mengning nodded, "So far, the little girl doesn't want to defend herself more, but now saving people is the most important, if the little girl is not successful, then it is not too late for the emperor to order herself to be executed, if the little girl is successful, I hope the emperor can strictly investigate and return the little girl to innocence." ”
Changsun Han listened, his index finger tapped rhythmically on his thigh, his opinion on Xia Mengning was undoubtedly appreciative, this woman was calm and generous, decisive, and she could not be impatient at a critical moment, taking into account the overall situation, this kind of open-mindedness is not something that ordinary people can have, and it is also this aspect that made Changsun Han nod and agree to her marriage with Changsun Yun.
Now this matter can be regarded as a test for Xia Mengning by Changsun Han, and now that Xia Mengning has come up with a way to deal with it so quickly, Changsun Han is very happy, but he doesn't show it on his face, he just said lightly: "In this way, if you don't succeed, I will execute you immediately." ”
Standing on the side were the two best doctors from the Tai Hospital, and seeing that the eldest Sun Han agreed to Xia Mengning's opinion, both of them hurriedly stopped: "Your Majesty, no, this is not a trivial matter......
Xia Mengning didn't care, knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you, Emperor." ”
Changsun Han nodded and said to Su Pu on the side: "You go and talk to the people below, so that they can fully cooperate with the county lord of Hehe." ”
This sentence of the county lord of Hehe made several people present hear the door, the emperor is still caring about Xia Mengning's identity, for a while, the people below did not dare to be rude to Xia Mengning, and they all greeted him with a smile.
The two imperial physicians looked at each other, and the panic in their eyes was obvious.
In fact, this infectious disease is just a trivial matter, although the imperial doctor cannot cure it, but if it is suppressed with some medicines, it can also prevent the disease from continuing to spread, but Changsun Mo has already informed them and asked them to delay the condition of the plague as much as possible, in order to make things big without limit, and use Xia Mengning to drag Changsun Yun and provoke Changsun Yun, so that Changsun Yun can be uprooted.
Su Pu walked in front of Xia Mengning and said, "County Lord, please!" ”
