Chapter 218: Snatching the Antidote
After Master Tan saw Chu Lixue, he knelt on the ground with a puff, "County Lord, you want to save dozens of lives in our mansion." ”
Hearing this, Chu Lixue and Ye Wushuang glanced at each other, and secretly said in their hearts that it was not good, it must be that Wuwei's corpse had an accident.
"Master, but what's wrong with Wuwei's corpse?"
When the master heard Chu Lixue ask, he hurriedly said: "Yes, county lord, that Wuwei's corpse, just now, suddenly turned into a dried corpse, and there was a fishy smell everywhere in the house. There are also those officials who have carried Wu Wei's corpse, and there are also varying degrees of poisoning, I know that the county lord is a person from the Medicine King Valley, and I must ask the county lord to save us. ”
Sure enough, it was the seven corpses that devoured the soul, and before she could start investigating, someone had already had an accident, it seems that the person behind it may not want someone's life, but the lives of the people in Cloud City. Chu Lixue said secretly in her heart.
She had never seen the poison of the Seven Corpses Devouring Souls, and she didn't know what kind of medicinal materials to use to offset this poison, if Wu Wei's corpse was not burned quickly, then the smell of the corpse would be emitted, as long as the person who smelled it, he would be hit, wouldn't the people in Cloud City be in danger?
Could it be that Qin Yu did this again? But it was Guo Xian who killed her husband, and now that Guo Xian has surrendered to the law, her revenge is avenged, and the bodies in the dry well have also been salvaged and buried, it is impossible for her to kill Wu Wei again.
If this matter had nothing to do with Qin Yu, then behind this matter, there must be other masters who were helping. And this person must be very powerful, he can actually refine the Seven Corpses Devouring Soul Scatter.
"Remnant Xue, go get my medicine box." Chu Lixue said lightly.
Suddenly, Rean Xue took a small medicine box and opened the box that took out a white jade box inside, and in the box was a green grass preserved with ice.
"County Lord, what kind of grass is this?" Master Tan wondered.
"This is Bijing grass, use this thing to add glutinous rice to boil water for people to drink, you can get rid of the corpse poison. You go back and tell Lord Wu that he will gather at the gate of my mansion early tomorrow morning with the people in the city and all the mansions, and let them come to take the detoxified rice water, if they don't want to come, then wait for death." Chu Lixue said lightly.
Hearing this, Master Tan was slightly stunned, the county lord is obviously doing a good deed, but the tone of his speech is not so kind. However, he thought about it, there are also some people in Cloud City who are at odds with the county lord, and those people must not be willing to owe the county lord favors, how can this be good.
Master Tan can't afford to think about it, since the county lord is willing to help, then he will go back to the errand. Master Tan returned to the yamen and told Lord Wu of Chu Lixue's words as they were.
Jing Zhaoyin knew the harm of corpse poison to Yuncheng, and after thinking about it again and again, he decided to enter the palace overnight to ask for the emperor's holy decree, after all, there are high-ranking officials and marquis in Yuncheng, and what he said from a little Jing Zhaoyin will not necessarily be listened to, if the emperor can make an order, then they will definitely do it.
Thinking of this, Jing Zhaoyin ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair to enter the palace, but when he arrived at the palace gate, he was stopped by the guards guarding the door, "Lord Wu, the palace gate has been locked, if there is no urgent call from the emperor, no one can enter the palace." ”
"But the official is in a hurry, if the official can't see the emperor tonight to ask for the holy decree, then the entire Cloud City is afraid that something will happen." Lord Wu said anxiously.
The guard saw that Lord Wu's face was anxious, and he knew that there must be something important, but there are rules in this palace, and if he breaks the rules, then he will be the unlucky person. However, if the other party really has something important, let him delay it, it is also a capital crime. This made the guard guarding the door embarrassed, and after thinking about it again, he decided to ask Lord Wu what was going on first.
"Lord Wu, what is your urgent matter? Otherwise, if you tell me, I can also go and tell the emperor, and if the emperor hears any will, I will tell you again. The guard said lightly.
"Oh well. The troublesome brother told the emperor that there was an accident in the murder case in the east of the city yesterday, and the corpse suddenly became a dry corpse, and someone had already planted corpse poison at that time, and the county lord of Qinghe said that this corpse poison was floating with the air, and if someone smelled it, it would be infected. It's an urgent matter, and this matter must not be delayed. ”
When the guards heard Lord Wu say this, they were shocked, and they drifted away with the air, so if they floated to the palace, then they were not ......, "Lord Wu, what you said is true?" ”
"It's true, and someone is already infected."
"Please Lord Wu wait at the gate of the palace for a while, I will go and inform the commander, please ask the commander to go and ask to see the emperor." The guard said in a deep voice.
Hearing that the guards were willing to inform the emperor, Lord Wu's heart also relaxed a little, but such a thing, can the emperor believe it?
Lord Wu waited for about a stick of incense, and the guard opened the door, "Lord Wu, the emperor wants to see you now, go in with the prince." ”
At this time, the emperor was already pacing back and forth anxiously in the Guanju Palace, his little prince was now purple and black on his face, as Lord Wu said, after all the imperial doctors saw it, they were all helpless, but I didn't expect that at the critical moment, Lord Wu brought a good news.
Lord Wu saw that the emperor was just about to salute, but was stopped by the emperor, "Okay, okay, don't salute, you say quickly, how can this corpse poison be resolved?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the county lord of Qinghe, the county lord of Qinghe said that tomorrow morning, Weichen will gather everyone in Yuncheng at the gate of Lingfu, and then there will be antidote to the poison."
"Tomorrow, my emperor is more important than anyone else. Come on, go and invite the county lord of Qinghe into the palace, if she doesn't enter the palace, she will snatch the antidote to the corpse poison to me. The Emperor said loudly.
Hearing this, Lord Wu was shocked, how could this emperor do this, could he only care about his son's life and not consider the people in the city? If something happened to those people, did he think he could escape? is simply a selfish guy, such a person is really not a blessing for the people to be the emperor.
When the eunuch heard the emperor's will, he took a team of Praetorian Guards and rode to Lingfu. And Chu Lixue was taking three maidservants to cook detoxification soup, and the eunuch came with the Praetorian Guards, which made Chu Lixue feel a little surprised.
"The minion has seen the county master." The eunuch said in his thin voice.
"Father-in-law is exempt, I don't know what my father-in-law is doing when he comes to the county lord's mansion so late?" Chu Lixue's face was not good. The third watch came on horseback in the middle of the night, and with a team of Praetorian Guards, nothing good would happen.
"The county lord is benevolent and benevolent, knowing that there is a corpse poison in the city, and he personally boils the antidote so late, it is really hard, the prince in the palace is also infected with this poison, the emperor loves the prince, and the special slave came to get the antidote from the county lord."
"The antidote? The antidote hasn't been fully prepared yet, so please be early tomorrow morning. Chu Lixue said lightly. Immediately, he turned around and continued to concoct the antidote.
The eunuch and a few Praetorian Guards, seeing that there are more than a dozen water tanks for these antidotes, it seems that this is prepared for the people of the entire Cloud City, but this poison is scattered with the air, are these medicines enough?
Suddenly, the eunuch saw a water tank on the side unattended, and when he walked in, there was a faint fragrance wafting from it, could it be that this was the antidote that had been prepared?
The eunuch looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one to take care of it, he motioned to the Praetorian Guards to take the jar medicine away, and before the Praetorian Guard could move the jar, he heard Chu Lixue say coldly: "Don't waste your efforts, these medicines are all prepared for the people of Yuncheng." ”
When the eunuch heard this, he was unhappy in his heart, and immediately, he pointed at Chu Lixue with his orchid finger and said: "County Lord, you have to distinguish who is the most important, how can those untouchables be compared with the emperor's prince, it doesn't matter how many people they die, as long as the prince is okay, the emperor will definitely reward you heavily, on the contrary, even if you are the eldest princess's daughter, the emperor can kill you." ”
Heh, Chu Lixue sneered in her heart, there is such a stupid person, if the people in Cloud City are poisoned, then the palace must not be spared, the prince is alive, so what about the palace maids and eunuchs?
No wonder the emperor and the prince are so useless, it turns out that it is because of the service of these short-sighted eunuchs. Although there are some shrewd and capable eunuchs in the palace, the one in front of him really doesn't dare to compliment.
"Oh? What the father-in-law said is really funny, if the people in this cloud city can't be saved, then the father-in-law thinks that the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace can be spared? There is a limit to the dosage of medicine, one more point is poison, and one less point will not cure the poison, does the father-in-law have to take a vat of poison to the prince to drink? Chu Lixue sneered.
Hearing this, the eunuch swallowed his saliva violently, this Qinghe county lord is really sharp-toothed, but she is right, if he takes it back and doesn't know how to take it, then it won't work, since the imperial doctors in the palace can't detoxify this poison, naturally they don't know how to take the antidote, it seems that this is to make the Qinghe county lord pinch.
However, he is not in a hurry, waiting for the crisis of corpse poison to pass, he must tell the county lord of Qinghe in front of the emperor, so that she can't eat and walk around.
Chu Lixue saw that the eunuch no longer made any other moves, so she immediately said lightly: "Please go back and tell the emperor, ask him to give an order, let the ministers' families come here early tomorrow morning to take the antidote, if you don't come, then you will bear the consequences." ”
The eunuch was unable to take away the antidote, and he was a little worried, how would he deal with the emperor when he went back this time? When he came out, the emperor said that he would bring the antidote back, but now the antidote was not brought back, but he had to help the county lord of Qinghe pass the word to the emperor and tell the emperor to do things.
However, no matter what, he must go back, but how can he explain when he returns? This is indeed a difficult problem, suddenly, the eunuch had an idea in his heart, raised the dust in his hand, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, the slave will return to the palace to reply to the decree, and the matter of the antidote, please ask the county lord to bother more." After speaking, he took the Praetorian Guard and left.
