Chapter 58: Self-Abuse
Blurry incense, as the name suggests, can charm people's minds by this poison, but the special thing is that it is only to confuse people's hearts in dreams, and in sleep, you can see the person you miss the most in your heart, as long as you fall asleep, you can dream.
But after waking up from a dream, the heart hurts like a thousand arrows piercing the heart, which is the most special thing about the blurry incense, which makes you happy in the dream and doesn't want to wake up, and after waking up from the dream, it is the pain of the skin.
After a month of poisoning, he slowly began to fall asleep, dreaming about what he was thinking about repeatedly until he died of heart failure.
After Jiang Liuli inadvertently discovered this just now, his heart suddenly trembled, if it was as Mrs. Gongsun said, every time he ate, he would test the poison first, naturally no one would be able to succeed, unless the people around him took advantage of his unpreparedness to drug him, or when he was out of the house, he was drugged.
However, she had another guess, and that was that it was possible that he had taken the medicine himself, so that he could see his loved one in his dreams.
Thinking of this, Jiang Liuli shook his head again and again, how could this be possible, what a proud person he was, how could he make this move, he must have thought too much.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Lan Tingxuan frowned when he saw her, shook his head for a while, and asked worriedly.
"It's fine." She smiled weakly, if her guess was correct, she didn't know what kind of mood to face Gongsun Hou.
All along, she was sure that he had failed Yi Wenyu, she lived in thoughts and pain every day, but he married a wife and lived a happy life, but after seeing him, she found that he was not as happy as she thought, but had been living in guilt and pain, which made her unable to hate him.
"I'll go out for a while." At this time, she was very confused and decided to go out for a walk and relax her emotions.
She stood up, didn't give him a chance to speak, walked out of the room directly, and came to the courtyard, where the cold wind blew on her face, making her sober up a lot.
She raised her head and looked at the sky, the blue sky made her feel a lot more comfortable, but she didn't want to talk or think for a while, she was worried that what she thought would become a reality.
Suddenly, there was a melodious flute behind her, she turned her head to look, and found that it was Lan Tingxuan, and was immediately surprised, she really didn't expect that he could play the flute.
She listened quietly to the beautiful sound of the flute, and her heart slowly calmed down, forgetting everything, and her eyes were full of his figure.
The song ended quickly, Lan Tingxuan put down the flute, looked at Jiang Liuli in the courtyard from afar, and the tenderness that was inadvertently revealed was not even noticed by himself.
Jiang Liuli retracted his thoughts unsatisfied, looking at Lan Tingxuan's eyes full of admiration, he didn't expect that he was not only talented, but even his music was so exquisite.
"Thank you, I'm in a much better mood." She looked at him with emotion, but she didn't expect him to be able to see that she was upset, which was really surprising.
In the past, no matter what happened to her, she would not show any emotions in front of outsiders, and she didn't show it just now, but he just found out, and then used his own way to soothe the troubles in her heart.
"I'm just worried about you." He lowered his head again, for his face was red again.
Seeing this, Jiang Liuli smiled funny, he is really easy to be shy, just a very ordinary sentence can make him blush, and his face is really thin.
"What kind of tune was you playing? It's so nice. She said with emotion that this piece is not inferior to modern tunes at all.
"I wrote it myself." He smiled gently, thinking of the state of mind when writing the song, his face was full of tenderness, but then, a lost expression appeared on his face, this song was originally intended to be blown to Miss Mei, but the first person to hear it was not her.
"I didn't expect you to be so talented." Jiang Liuli naturally noticed the changeable expression on his face, but she didn't ask more, this was his privacy, and she didn't want to know too much.
Lan Tingxuan smiled lightly, thinking of Miss Mei, his mood became very low, and Jiang Liuli saw that his thoughts drifted somewhere, and he didn't want to say more, for a while, the air was full of embarrassment.
"Girl, I want to go and see Mrs. Gongsun, do you want to go with me?" Lan Tingxuan really couldn't stand such an atmosphere, and hurriedly broke the silence.
Jiang Liuli listened, and was stunned for a moment, thinking that Yi Wenyu once said that the old lady Gongsun was a very kind person, and when she was with Gongsun Hou, she never disliked her because of the difference in identity, but loved her like her own daughter, and when the former city lord, that is, Gongsun Hou's father, was killed, she was the first person who did not believe that the murderer was Yi Wenyu.
"Okay." Thinking of her love for Yi Wenyu, she decided to go to see the old man's house, so she thought it would be better to see her for Yi Wenyu.
"Let's go." Seeing that she readily agreed, Lan Tingxuan's mood suddenly became much more relaxed, and he even left Miss Mei's matter behind.
The two came to the courtyard where the old lady lived, and found that there was a smell of medicine wafting in the air, and their hearts suddenly tightened, it must be that the old lady was sick, and the smell of medicine was so strong.
But it's understandable to think that she is sick, her son is poisoned and unconscious, and he has not woken up yet, and as a mother, she is the most worried.
"Lan Gongzi." They just wanted to enter the house, but a person came out of the house, and that person was none other than Li Wenao, who was really busy running back and forth between the city lord and the old lady.
"Is the old lady sick?" Lan Tingxuan saw him and hurriedly asked.
"After the city lord fell into a coma, the old lady became ill, and she has been taking medicine all this time, but she has always not seen well, and originally wanted to ask Lan Gongzi to help take a look, but thinking that you just came, you should need to have a good rest, so I didn't say anything, I plan to invite you to come and have a look tomorrow." Li Wenao said with a sigh.
"How can I be so tired, hurry up and take me to see the old lady." Lan Tingxuan listened to his words, became even more anxious, and hurriedly urged Li Wenao.
"Come with me, those two." Seeing this, Li Wenao said no more and led them into the house.
Walking into the house, the maids who were waiting for the old lady saluted them one after another, but at this time, they had no time to take care of these, they were only worried about the old lady's condition.
Lan Tingxuan walked into the bedroom where the old lady lived, and frowned in distress, he didn't expect that the old lady would be so thin, and even the jet-black hair had a little more gray hair.
Jiang Liuli also frowned when she saw the old lady, the matter of her husband and son had already destroyed this woman like this, no wonder she was seriously ill like this.
At this time, she was sleeping deeply, Lan Tingxuan took this opportunity to take her pulse, re-prescribed her medicine, and then handed it to Jiang Liuli, wanting to listen to her opinion.
Jiang Liuli also checked the pulse of the old lady just now, it was indeed too much thinking, which caused her to be ill, in fact, no matter how much medicine she prescribed, it would not help, as long as she couldn't let go of the knot in her heart, she would always be in such a volatile condition.
After leaving the old lady's courtyard, Lan Tingxuan's mood became even heavier, if he wanted to make the old lady better, he could only heal Gongsun Hou, but the poison in him was too special, and he couldn't develop an antidote for a while.
"Girl, is there really no way to heal Gongsun?" Lan Tingxuan asked worriedly, even if she said that there was an antidote, but no one knew what the antidote was.
"Yes, it's just that it seems to me that he likes to fall asleep all the time." Jiang Liuli said faintly, she felt more and more that her guess was correct.
"What does that mean?" He looked at her puzzled, who likes to fall asleep by themselves?
Jiang Liuli just wanted to explain, and when she saw Mrs. Gongsun coming not far away, she smiled coldly, if she knew that Gongsun Hou would rather see her beloved in a dream than face her, would she collapse?
"Because only in this way can he see his beloved in his dreams." She looked at Mrs. Gongsun who was walking slowly, and said in a small voice.
When Mrs. Gongsun heard this, her body trembled, she raised her head to look at Jiang Liuli, and a fierce gaze slowly welled up in her eyes.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" She glared at Jiang Liuli fiercely, as if she could rush up and tear her mouth apart in the next moment.
"I'm not talking nonsense, he is looking for abuse by himself, in order to be able to see his beloved in his dreams, he ate vague incense." Jiang Liuli smiled coldly, the reason why she was so sure was that she asked Li Wenao just now that during the past six months, Gongsun Hou had never been far away, and he rarely ate out.
Therefore, if they want to poison him, it is absolutely impossible, and because of this, they have never found out who poisoned him, because they never thought that Gongsun Hou would poison himself.
Jiang Liuli's words not only shocked Mrs. Gongsun, but even Lan Tingxuan was stunned and didn't come back to her senses.
"It's nonsense, and the husband will never take poison himself." Mrs. Gongsun said tremblingly, looking at Jiang Liuli's eyes even more fierce.
"He can't see his beloved in real life, he can only see her in his dreams, you also love someone, you should understand his feelings." Jiang Liuli saw that she was about to get out of control, and she was in a very good mood.
Li Wenao, who had settled the old lady, heard Jiang Liuli's words, and stood behind them in a daze, and when he came back to his senses, he lowered his head sadly.
"Don't talk nonsense here, you must have been sent by the Demon Sect to separate our husband and wife, and I will kill you for Tianxingdao." Although Mrs. Gongsun was flustered, she quickly calmed down and thought of a countermeasure.
Before Mrs. Gongsun finished speaking, she flew forward, her right hand was a claw, and she wanted to choke Jiang Liuli's neck, but she stood there very calmly, looking at her coldly like a snake and scorpion.
"Girl." Seeing this, Lan Tingxuan hurriedly stepped forward and protected her tightly behind her, but she was in danger.
Seeing this, Jiang Liuli was startled at first, and when he reacted, he hurriedly took action and wanted to save him, but at this time, another person appeared and skillfully defused Mrs. Gongsun's attack.
"Li Wenao, you are impatient to live, and you dare to help them." Mrs. Gongsun looked at Li Wenao in disbelief, although she didn't like him, she never thought that he would be her enemy.
"Madam, now the only people who can save the city lord are the girl and Lan Gongzi." Li Wenao replied calmly, but the sword in his hand was still not put back into the scabbard.
"Then let him die." Mrs. Gongsun suddenly said such a thing, which shocked all three people present.
"I've paid so much for him, but he's still thinking about that slut, I'd rather live in a dream than wake up for her, why should I go to the trouble of saving him." Mrs. Gongsun screamed in grief and despair, she stubbornly didn't want to cry, but the tears couldn't stop falling.
Jiang Liuli looked coldly at Mrs. Gongsun, who was emotionally out of control, she was to blame for everything today, and she didn't know how to reflect, but blamed all the faults on others.
