Chapter 732: A Cup of Poisoned Wine
As soon as Zhang An urged like this, Lu Li's expression began to become solemn, and he slowly chose one of the last four cups of poisonous wine, and then drank it.
Seeing Lu Li drink the poisonous wine, Xiao Man's heart rose to his throat, I don't know why, at this moment, Xiao Man's heart was shrouded in a bad premonition.
Lu Li took a deep breath, thinking that he had escaped a little, but just when he was secretly happy, he felt a sudden pain in his body.
I only saw Lu Li's eyes gradually becoming sluggish, his muscles slowly tightened, and he grabbed his neck tightly with his hands, looking like he was having trouble breathing.
Seeing Lu Li like this, Xiao Man was naturally frightened, and hurriedly ran to Lu Li's side, helped Lu Li up, patted Lu Li's face, and said to Lu Li: "How is Lu Li, are you okay?" ”
Lu Li only felt that it was pitch black in front of him, he couldn't see anything clearly, his ears were full of buzzing sounds, and Xiao Man's call was faintly heard, Lu Li wanted to answer Xiao Man and tell her not to worry, but he couldn't make a sound anyway.
Seeing Lu Li falling, a sinister smile appeared on Zhang An's lips, and Xiao Man was naturally very angry when he saw his smug eyes, and hurriedly asked: "Zhang An, the antidote, tell me where the antidote is?" ”
Zhang An opened the folding fan and fanned it, with a breezy look, ignoring Xiao Man, and preparing to leave the pavilion.
Seeing that Zhang An wanted to leave, Xiao Man naturally wouldn't let him go, so he stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhang An's clothes, and said to Zhang An viciously: "What about the antidote, didn't you say that you hid the antidote, this competition was unfair from the beginning, if it was fair, then we should also know where the antidote is!" ”
Zhang An stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Man's face, Xiao Man only felt that Zhang An's body was as cold as an ice cube, and his fingertips were constantly trembling, which made Xiao Man feel a little strange, could it be that Zhang An was really afraid of something?
"No, it's a fair game."
After saying this, Zhang An frowned as if he was restraining some pain, shook off Su Xiaoman's hand, and left the pavilion.
Xiao Man pondered what Zhang An said just now, but he didn't know what Zhang An meant, and he always felt that Zhang An seemed to have another deep meaning.
But no matter what, the most important thing is to bring Lu Li back to the yamen first.
So Xiao Man hurriedly launched a signal flare into the air, and seeing the signal flare, Lu Duyue and Li Ran naturally came to Xiao Man's side quickly.
When Li Ran saw Lu Li's appearance, his whole body shrank into a ball, as if he was very afraid of cold, and there was a layer of frost on his eyebrows.
"Lu Li, are you okay?"
Just as Li Ran tried to talk to Lu Li, Lu Li suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing that the blood was actually jet black, Xiao Man suddenly became anxious, his nose was sore, and he didn't know what to do.
Du Yue looked at the surrounding environment, no one has noticed the movement here yet, it is the best policy to bring Lu Li back to the yamen first, otherwise there will be a big disturbance later, in case someone finds out, won't Lu Li's true identity be exposed.
So Du Yue made a quick decision, pulled Xiao Man up, and said to Xiao Man: "Xiao Man, let's go back to Yamen first, there are too many people here, it's too dangerous." ”
Su Xiaoman listened to Du Yue's words, and finally came back to his senses, to say that this Zhang family's mansion is not only an outsider, but also may have Zhang An's eyeliner.
So at this moment, Li Ran was put on his back, got into the carriage outside the mansion, and soon returned to the yamen.
When he returned to the Yamen, Lu Li's situation became even worse, no matter what Xiao Man said, Lu Li no longer answered, and fainted directly.
Touching his whole body again, it was as cold as ice, as if he didn't have any body temperature.
Li Ran put Lu Li on the bed, and Xiao Man naturally covered Lu Li with a lot of quilts, but no matter how many quilts were covered, Lu Li's body temperature did not rise in the slightest.
Xiaoman felt that this was not a solution, so he hurriedly invited a doctor to come to the yamen.
Although the doctors here are not as good as the doctors in the capital, they are very powerful and have cured many incurable diseases.
At this moment, he sat in front of the table, beside Lu Li, and took Lu Li's vein with his hand, who knew that his hand had just touched Lu Li's vein, and his expression became strange.
Seeing that the doctor's expression was so solemn, Su Xiaoman was even more anxious, so he asked, "Doctor, what's wrong with his illness?" ”
The doctor touched his beard and slowly asked Su Xiaoman: "This Lang Jun, did you eat or drink anything?" ”
When Su Xiaoman heard this, this doctor was really powerful, and at a glance, he knew that Lu Li had taken poisoned wine, so he said directly to the doctor: "I'm afraid he drank poisoned wine to be like this." ”
After listening to Xiaoman's words, the doctor nodded, sighed, and said to Su Xiaoman: "Then the problem should be found, this wine is poisonous, and it is not ordinary poison." ”
Hearing that it was not an ordinary poison, Su Xiaoman became nervous, and he didn't know what kind of poison Zhang An had given to Lu Li, seeing the doctor's sad face, Xiaoman faintly felt a little fierce.
"Doctor, I don't know what kind of poison is here, you should tell me earlier."
The doctor replied in a hoarse voice: "On the surface, this Lang Jun is poisoned, but in fact, he is only poisoned by Gu to do this. ”
Hearing the word Gu poison, Xiao Man's eyes widened suddenly, to say that Gu poison is only used by Miao Jiangren, and he has also been hit by the Heart Devouring Gu before, so he still has some understanding of things like Gu poison.
At this time, I heard the doctor say that what Lu Li drank was a kind of Gu poison, and Xiao Man's mind was in a mess, and he didn't know how to unravel this Gu poison.
"Doctor, you are so knowledgeable, do you know how to unravel this Gu poison?"
To say that this doctor has been practicing medicine for many years, he is well-informed, and he has also been to Miaojiang and other regions to know a little about this Gu poison, so he slowly explained to Su Xiaoman at this time: "This Gu worm is called Cold Food Gu, and the growth conditions of this Cold Food Gu are extremely harsh, and they are generally fed with cold plants to raise a pair of Cold Food Gu, the reason why it is a pair is that it is the mother Gu and the child Gu of the Cold Food Gu, the child Gu is used to commit murder, and the mother Gu is used to control the child Gu and has the effect of detoxification, so since this Lang Jun is in the Zi Gu, He had to find a female Gu to detoxify him. ”
Hearing this doctor say this, Xiao Man began to be embarrassed, to say that the mother Gu of this cold food Gu must be in Zhang An's hands, but that day she had already asked Zhang An for the antidote, Zhang An just used some vague words to prevaricate the matter of the antidote.
What else can I do?
"Doctor, is there no other way than to use the Mother Gu of the Cold Food Gu to unravel this Gu poison?"
The doctor shook his head and said how dangerous this Miao Jiang Gu worm was, how could there be any other solution.
Seeing that Xiao Man was pondering, the doctor wrote a prescription, handed it to Su Xiaoman, and said to Su Xiaoman: "Governor Su, before you find the mother Gu, I will first prescribe him some medicine to strengthen the foundation of Peiyuan, so that he can last a few more days, but after seven days, he must find the mother Gu, otherwise he will die." ”
There were only seven days, Xiao Man's heart was pounding, his fists were clenched, his nails were embedded in the flesh, and fine and dense sweat broke out on his head.
Xiao Man took the prescription, and then told Pearl to boil the medicine first, while she was by Lu Li's side, watching Lu Li's face become more and more pale, she felt very guilty in her heart.
If it weren't for her insistence on running to Yuzhou and becoming a court official, she wouldn't have dragged Lu Li into the water, Lu Li must be in Beijing at this time, and how could she lie here in front of his emperor.
Li Ran and Du Yue were naturally very worried about Lu Li's situation, after all, Lu Li, as an emperor, was actually poisoned by Zhang An at this time, and if they couldn't find the mother Gu after seven days, it might be life-threatening.
If this matter reaches Shangjing, I am afraid that Shangjing will immediately become chaotic, and it is not certain who the throne will fall on.
So Li Ran said to Su Xiaoman: "Otherwise, I'll go to Zhang An and snatch the mother Gu back." ”
Su Xiaoman shook his head, Zhang An's method must not work, thinking that Zhang An still had some affection for him, Su Xiaoman bit his lip and said to Li Ran and Du Yue: "In this way, I will beg Zhang An again to see if he is willing to give me this mother Gu, you wait for my news in the yamen first." ”
This Su Xiaoman hurriedly went to Zhang An's mansion, and when he arrived at the mansion, a small guy ran out of the door and said to Su Xiaoman: "I don't know if Su Zhifu is here to find our young master?" ”
Su Xiaoman nodded and said to the little guy: "Yes, please hurry up and help me report, I have something urgent to find your young master." ”
The little guy showed a embarrassed face, blushed, and said in a squeak: "That's the case, my young master has contracted the wind, and the cold is now lying in the house, and he can't see guests." ”
Su Xiaoman's eyes revealed a complicated gaze, he didn't expect Zhang An to use such a reason to prevaricate himself, isn't it obvious that he doesn't want to give his mother Gu, but if he doesn't see Zhang An today, then Lu Li will probably die.
So Xiao Man took out five taels of silver, put it in the little guy's hand, and said to the little guy: "No matter what, you can help me think of a way, and then go in and persuade your young master, I must see your young master today." ”
The little guy looked inside, and then looked at Su Xiaoman's sweaty appearance, and felt quite helpless, but thinking that the five taels of silver came easily, he reluctantly ran in again at this time, and reported to Su Xiaoman.
What Su Xiaoman didn't expect was that this second briefing was actually useful.
