Chapter 66: Preparing the Antidote (1)
Xiao Yuexi's consciousness was wandering, and when she heard Chunxiu's words, her eyes became firm, and she said solemnly word by word: "We came to Binzhou voluntarily, and we won't leave this mess rotten, but you ...... girl."
Chunxiu's face was still very pale, with a thick nasal voice when she spoke, and her eyes were a little wandering, obviously trying to talk to everyone.
Li Ran also seemed to notice it, and stepped forward and said, "It's rude, I want to check the girl's pulse." β
Chunxiu submissively stretched out her hand.
Her fiancΓ© was even more nervous than herself, staring at Li Ran's fingers for the pulse the whole time, until Li Ran withdrew his hand, and then he hurriedly asked, "Imperial Doctor Li, how is it?" Chunxiu she ......"
Li Ran had no expression on his face, and hurriedly threw down the sentence: "It's time for the girl to rest." Then he walked away quickly.
The epidemic institute specially opened a hut to serve as a medicine storehouse, although there are not many medicinal materials, but the variety is complete. Li Ran plunged into it, and there was a sense that he wouldn't come out all night.
Xiao Yuexi and the others then also retreated, and said in the wind: "Childe, let's go back to Lord Huang's mansion first, right?" β
Xiao Yuexi shook his head: "I'm too lazy to toss, let's see if there is any extra room, I'll borrow it for one night." "In order to facilitate care, the new patient number can be squeezed in, and a lot of separate small rooms have been vacated for a while, but despite this, the people who Lord Huang has made up temporarily are still a little stretched.
Chengfeng wanted to persuade him, but when he thought that what he said was in vain, he had to find a slightly clean room without saying a word, and then start to clean it up more cleanly.
Xiao Yuexi looked up at the sky, and then jumped on the roof lightly, not too dirty, so she lay down without a lady's demeanor - it is true that her behavior of going to the room without saying a word is not the word "girl".
She seemed to have completely forgotten that there was still Ling Suihan, and after hearing the sound of subtle tiles, she looked over, and then raised her eyebrows in some surprise.
"Yo! Ling Zhengzhi, come and see the stars? β
Ling Suihan: "......"
Without saying a word, he walked over to her and sat down, not making a sound. It can be seen that he clearly intended to let Xiao Yuexi discover him just now.
"Drink?" Ling Suihan handed over a wine jug.
Xiao Yuexi took the flask and suddenly smiled. She doesn't seem to have touched this thing since she entered the palace, right? Injured at every turn, it is estimated that she will be killed by cardamom after a sip of wine, or she is not greedy for the idle time, after a long time, the bitter gluttonous worms have died in Xiao Yuexi's abdomen, and when she sees the wine again, her eyes will not shine. Merely......
Tonight, I do need a little wine.
Unplugged the stopper, the spicy fragrance belonging to the spirits spread, Xiao Yuexi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Yes!" Where did you find it? β
Seeing that Xiao Yuexi didn't deliberately distance himself anymore, Ling Suihan said, "I want it from the one called Chengfengβis he?" β
"Hmm...... Ahem! Xiao Yuexi was caught off guard and choked on the spirits, and then said slowly: "Friends from the rivers and lakes, his master has a good personal relationship with me, and this time he came out to borrow someone from his master." β
Regardless of whether Ling Suihan was his own person or an enemy now, there were some things that were inconvenient for him to say. Mu Yunqing's hole card is this one, just show it out for everyone to see, then it's not a hole card!
Covering up the past quietly, Xiao Yuexi didn't feel guilty at all, but felt that everything she said was the truth. Isn't it? Zangfeng Pavilion is indeed the master of the forces of the rivers and lakes and the wind...... Well, it's really good to have a personal relationship with her.
I don't know if Ling Suihan noticed anything, the starlight was soft, and it couldn't shine on his face, Xiao Yuexi didn't want to stare at him directly, so she simply looked up at the sky and continued to look at the stars.
After a moment of silence, Ling Suihan suddenly asked, "These past few months...... How are you? β
Xiao Yuexi glanced at him, met his dark eyes, and then remembered what he had learned from His Majesty the Emperor, and an emotion called "embarrassment" came to his head along with the spirits.
Xiao Yuexi poured another sip of wine without saying a word, and said with a calm face: "It's easy to have a chance to speak alone, so let's not waste it on reminiscing." Ling Suihan, I have something to ask you. β
Ling Suihan's gaze sank, and he was silent for a while before he said, "When I was investigating the bandits' den, I heard some rumors. β
"Oh?" Xiao Yuexi raised her eyebrows. "You know it's easy to do. After Ye Wanxiao returned to Beijing, she confessed that it was you who cheated him, and you were the one who colluded with the bandits. Now that others are still recuperating from their injuries in Beijing, there is a group of stragglers left in the Department of Supervision and Justice, and half of them have been abolished. What do you have to say about that? β
Ling Suihan looked at her quietly, and asked without answering, "What about you?" Who do you believe? β
"You don't have to worry about that." Xiao Yuexi said. "I ask, you answer, I'll go to rest after asking, maybe there is something waiting for me tomorrow."
Ling Suihan laughed at himself, and the bitterness in it made Xiao Yuexi feel the thick lines. He spoke quietly, "I don't have much to say. β
Xiao Yuexi raised her eyebrows: "Why is there nothing to say?" You really did it, even if you didn't directly explain the reason, you have to make up the wording to fool me, right? If you really didn't do it, you should defend yourself. Ye Wanxiao led people from entering the city to having an accident and then escaping, where are you and what are you doing, these are always things to say, right? β
"There's not much to say." Ling Suihan repeated. "If you won't believe it, I won't have to say more."
"Hah!" Xiao Yuexi seemed to have heard a big joke, sat up straight and looked at Ling Suihan, and said slowly in a tone that was so cold that Ling Suihan felt unfamiliar: "Don't say anything?" Ling Zheng's abacus is playing very well! I know that in my case, there are many mistakes in saying too much, so I simply don't defend myself and play a hand of emotion by the way? β
Xiao Yuexi was as if Mr. Teaching saw his student get the top prize, and said with great relief: "Ling Zhengzhi is really impressive!" β
These words made Ling Suihan even breathe faster, he didn't know which wound or heart, which was more painful, his face was pale, and he looked at Xiao Yuexi with a dull gaze, as if he never thought that Xiao Yuexi would say such a thing to him anyway.
Xiao Yuexi still didn't change her face, and calmly asked again: "Can you say it now?" β
She was answered by a longer silence. Xiao Yuexi chuckled: "It doesn't matter if you can't. So saying, she got up lightly, and jumped off the roof, refusing to leave even a resolute back, except for an iron flask, which was already empty.
Xiao Yuexi, who was hopscotch, bumped into the oncoming Li Ran, and he hurriedly came over and said, "I was looking for you, ...... Well? β
Li Ran was halfway through his words, paused, sniffed hard, and then roared with a stinking face: "Still drinking? Do you feel that your illness is not slow enough!! β
Xiao Yuexi ungracefully plucked out the ears that were shocked by the roar, and said heartlessly: "It is estimated that I will be grounded for a long time when I lie down, so I just toss and toss more when I can run and jump." Li Ran was so angry that he almost blew himself up on the spot, but Xiao Yuexi asked disapprenosingly: "What are you looking for me?" β
"......" He was so angry that he almost couldn't remember what he was going to do with Xiao Yuexi. After a while, he said, "Have you heard of the tortoiseshell country?" β
"Huh?" Xiao Yuexi didn't react for a while.
Of course she had heard of the Hawkser Country, a big country whose national strength was comparable to Yelan, everyone knew it, how could she not have heard of it? Xiao Yuexi was puzzled: "Why did you suddenly mention the Tortoiseshell Kingdom?" β
Li Ran said: "The biggest feature of the Tortoiseshell Kingdom is that the successive monarchs who were buried in the imperial mausoleum are all incorruptible. They said that this was the true dragon's qi talisman that would not decay for thousands of years. But I've heard another version...... Their so-called True Dragon Qi is nothing more than a powerful antiseptic. β
Xiao Yuexi looked at Li Ran with eyes like a madman, and said speechlessly: "At this juncture, you discuss with me why the corpses in other people's ancestral graves are not rotten?" But after thinking about it, he wondered: "Where did you hear this remark?" Why haven't I heard of it? β
"Of course you haven't heard of it." Li Ran snorted. "It's my master who said that." Li Ran seemed to fall into a certain memory, and said after a while: "It was also many years after his death that I vaguely guessed that he was from the Tortoiseshell Kingdom." β
Xiao Yuexi was a little dazed, and it took a while to sort out the broken strings in her head, and said, "It doesn't matter where your master and his old man are from...... Even if what he said is true, wait until you get the customs clearance document and run across the ocean to the tortoiseshell country, and then come back after finding the secret recipe for the antiseptic...... That's enough grass to grow three feet high on the graves of these people! β
"Don't be that troublesome." Li Ran looked at her steadily, suddenly laughed, and muttered to himself: "I have obviously seen so many ......"
For a moment, Xiao Yuexi felt that he would be able to cry the next moment, but seeing that he recovered quickly, he said solemnly: "I was picked up by the master when I was very young, and in my memory he always held a book without a cover in his hand, and he has been watching it for many years, he taught everything, but he didn't let me read that book. β
Xiao Yuexi suddenly understood. When a person is still in the stage of a drooping child, the more adults are not allowed to do anything, the more he wants to do something, not only trying to sneak it out, but also often being impressed by the details of the action at that time.
For example, Li Ran, if he doesn't let him watch it, when he has to watch it, he will definitely subconsciously remember a lot of things. It's just that this layer of memory is gradually buried in the corner, and if it is not in a specific plot, it may not be able to remember.
"I've found the general direction, but there are a few flavors of medicine that are hard to find, you ask people to help find them, collect them as soon as possible, the more the better!" Li Ran said, handing Xiao Yuexi a piece of paper.
Caught off guard, hoping to smash it on the head, Xiao Yuexi was stunned for a while, as if in a dream.
