Chapter 225: Second Poison
When King Chen came back to his senses, he found that this Ling Shaogu Lord lived in his room, if he lived in his own room, then where would he live? Thinking of this, King Chen stepped forward to block Ling Shaogu's way, "This is my room, you can choose another one." ”
Hearing this, Ling Shaogu Lord frowned slightly, is this King Chen stupid, he didn't take advantage of this time to quickly coax his daughter-in-law to live, and he actually wanted to live separately. Ling Shaogu Lord thought secretly in his heart.
Seeing that Lord Ling Shaogu looked at him, King Chen thought that he was a little inquisitive, and immediately, he understood what he meant, and smiled slightly, "Liuyue, move all my things into the princess's room, and then tidy up and let Lord Ling Shaogu live." "This is Ling Shaogu Lord creating an opportunity for him, of course he has to take advantage of it, he always suspected that this Ling Shaogu Lord had ulterior motives for Lixue, could it be that it is really his villain's heart?
About two hours later, Chu Lixue woke up slowly, slowly opened her eyes, and Ning Xiang, King Chen, Ye Wushuang and others were all waiting in the room. Seeing her wake up, I was relieved.
"You're not infected with the plague, you're poisoned." Ling Shaogu Lord took a sip of tea and said lightly.
Poisoning? Not the plague? But those people seemed to be thinking about the plague, and everyone once again set their eyes on Ling Shaogu Lord with doubts.
"It is true that some of those people have the plague, but their plague is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. They had eaten a poison that had the same symptoms as the plague. ”
A poison with symptoms like the plague? Is there such a poison in the world? Sure enough, he is a person from the Medicine King Valley, and his knowledge is different from others. But he, Ye Wushuang, is not a shallow person, why didn't he see it? Ye Wushuang thought secretly in his heart.
Hearing Ling Shaogu Lord say this, King Chen's brows furrowed, these victims originated from the Southern Chu Kingdom, could it be said that the emperor of Southern Chu would poison his own people? And then wait for them to come to Beichen to spread the poison? This is impossible, how could he know that the people will come to Beichen Kingdom when they get the plague? If he didn't go to Beichen, wouldn't he have to drive him over? If this is the case, then the soldiers guarding the border will not let them go.
"Poison like a plague? What kind of poison will it be? Could it be that someone who has already had the plague and then poisoned those who had the plague, so that the plague with the poison would spread faster? Or is it that the other party is just targeting those who came to Beichen in advance, but the people who stayed in Nanchu have different symptoms? Chu Lixue expressed the doubts in her heart.
The Kong Qi of Southern Chu is really a good-faced and evil-minded person, he is good at disguise, and he quietly seized the position of the emperor of Southern Chu, and after ascending the throne, he cut down those who would threaten his throne one by one, and even the county king, who was not interested in his throne at all, was secretly assassinated. One can imagine what a vicious person Kong Qi is.
Hearing Chu Lixue say this, Ling Shaogu Lord pondered for a moment and said, "There is also this possibility, but the person who bit you didn't have the plague at that time, she was just poisoned." ”
There was no plague at that time, that is, after so many days, the girl may have been infected with the plague, but why did she bite Chu Lixue? Was she instructed by others, or was her vigilance that made her attack Chu Lixue out of instinct? This needs to be investigated.
"What did you do to get that girl to bite you?" Ling Shaogu Lord said lightly.
Hearing this, Chu Lixue was slightly stunned, why did she bite herself? She hadn't thought about this, but when she walked up to the girl that day, at first, she was very frightened, could it be...... Is attacking oneself just for self-preservation? No, it's not that simple, after the girl bit herself, at the moment before she fell unconscious, she clearly saw the girl's hideous smile.
"I didn't do anything, I think the girl was planning to attack me." Chu Lixue said firmly.
Hearing this, Ling Shaogu Lord nodded, his mind spun rapidly, as if he wanted to sort out the whole thing clearly, on the way to Cloud City, he had already learned what had happened from Liuyue's mouth, at first, he only suspected that the girl was intentionally attacking Chu Lixue, but now that he got Chu Lixue's affirmative answer, then things are really not that simple.
"You take care of it in the house first, and I'll take someone out to investigate." Ling Shaogu Lord said lightly. After speaking, he walked out of the room.
Ye Wushuang thought for a moment and chased him out, and he didn't know what he had talked about with Ling Shaogu Lord in the courtyard, and finally got Ling Shaogu's consent.
It was night, dark clouds obscured the hazy moonlight, and two tall figures appeared in the night, and the two figures gently jumped over the city wall and came to the city gate.
At this time, on the west side of the city gate, there are several fires, those victims are sitting around the fire to keep warm, with the husband announcing the time, it is already the second watch, the victims are gradually already asleep, two black shadows are preparing to leave, finally have a new clue.
A petite figure slowly walked out of the midst of the victims, through the trees opposite, and stopped in a dense thicket, as if waiting for someone.
Suddenly, another figure appeared, the man wearing a long cloak, and the cloak wrapped the man so tightly that he could not see anything.
"I'm really sorry to keep Grandma Styx waiting for a long time." A dull male voice spoke.
"Why are you here now, if I've been away for a long time and someone finds out, it's going to be troublesome." The petite figure said coldly.
"Afraid of what? If it's a big deal, just kill all those untouchables. Could it be that after a few days of getting along, Grandma Hades has compassion for those untouchables? That's not what your soul would do. The man sneered.
"You can't control my affairs, I have passed the poison to Princess Nachen according to the plan."
"Oh? Is it? But as far as I know, the Young Valley Lord of the Medicine King Valley, as well as the Venerable Lord of the Cold Moon Palace, all came to Cloud City, all to save that woman. Is your poison really that effective? ”
"Hmph, what's the matter if you come, no matter how good their medical skills are, they can't cure my poison." The woman said triumphantly.
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang and Ling Shaogu Lord glanced at each other, is this woman's poison really that powerful? The two of them had checked Chu Lixue's pulse and made sure that the poison in their bodies had been lifted. Could it be that there are other sequelae of her poison?
"Hahaha, don't be too optimistic about your poison, my spy reported, after Princess Nachen took Ling Shaogu's pill today, it didn't take long for people to wake up, people, don't be too conceited." The man sneered.
It is estimated that the man wanted to see the embarrassment of the person called the Underworld, but the Lady looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahaha, this, you don't know, my poison is different here, on the surface, it is poisoned, that is, I am waiting for the unique secret of the Medicine King Valley is the Qingxin Pill, and there is a medicine in the Qingxin Pill, if it is combined with the medicine in my poison, it will cause the attack of the second poison, and at that time, Princess Nachen will be truly unsaved." King Chen can collect her body. ”
What the? Relying on the herbs in the Qingxin Pill to cause the attack of the second poison? Ling Shaogu Lord was flustered in his heart, this Heart Clearing Pill was carefully developed by his father, and the formula was secret, if it weren't for the Ling family's descendants, he would never know the formula, what kind of person is this Auntie? How could they know about their Ling family's Pure Heart Pill?
"Hahaha, it's really worthy of being a spiritual hidden grandmother, and doing things is ruthless enough, so are we just waiting to see King Chen heartbroken again? This King Chen lost two wives in a row, which is really pitiful. After speaking, the man's sinister laughter sounded again.
"What? Do you sympathize with him? If the Lord knew about it, would you still be able to laugh? ”
"Hmph, don't think that you can talk to me like this when you are reused by the Lord, I have been with the Lord for much longer than yours." The man said coldly.
"Hmph, in that case, then the next time you are asked to do something, you must be punctual, if it is because of your own greed and lust that spoils the Lord's affairs, you say, what will the Lord do to you? Well, I'm going back, so as not to arouse suspicion. After the woman finished speaking, she turned and walked away quickly.
The man in the cloak spat hard at where the woman had left, and then quickly disappeared into the night.
Ye Wushuang and Ling Shaogu Master walked out of the bushes at this time, the martial arts of those two people just now were not weak, if they moved a little bigger, they would have been discovered, so the two of them didn't follow when they left, the most important thing at the moment was not to catch those two people and torture them, but the matter of Chu Lixue's double poison, it had been half a day since he took the Qingxin Pill, would it be poisonous now?
When the two of them returned to the Ling Mansion, the courtyard was as usual, the people were busy with their own affairs, and nothing special seemed to happen, the two had just breathed a sigh of relief, and when they walked into the courtyard, the air became heavy again.
Ning Xiang sat on the edge of the bed with red eyes and held Chu Lixue's hand tightly, tears were more like beads with broken threads, constantly dripping on the back of Chu Lixue's hand. And the faces of the rest of the people in the room also became very ugly.
"What the hell is going on?" Ye Wushuang stepped forward and asked.
Hearing someone ask, King Chen said in a deep voice: "Not long after you left, Lixue seemed to be crazy, her eyes were red, her face was blue, her mouth kept shouting pain, rolling back and forth on the ground, her fingers were bent, I was really worried that something would happen to her, so I clicked her sleeping hole first." ”
"It seems that what she said is true, this is the second poison attack." Ye Wushuang looked at Ling Shaogu and said.
"yes, I was the one who hurt her." Ling Shaogu Lord blamed himself. If he hadn't given Chu Lixue what Qingxin Pill he had eaten, maybe the poison in her wouldn't have been so serious, but now that he was like this, he really wouldn't dare to give her any more antidote pills, what if there was a third poison? He can't harm the descendants of the Ling family like this.
"What? What did you say that you hurt Lixue? What's going on? King Chen wondered.
"Just now the two of us went out of the city to investigate, and found the trace of that little girl, she is not a little girl at all, she is a famous Lingyin Auntie on the rivers and lakes, this person is ruthless, and the poison she gave to Lixue is to cooperate with the Qingxin Pill to stimulate the second poison."
"What? Relying on an antidote pill to trigger a second poison? Who is this Soul Hidden Grandmother? Why did she treat Lixue like this? ”
"She is the god of poison in the rivers and lakes, and her ability to use poison is not under my mother, as for her origin, no one knows, as for her poisoning Lixue, she was also instructed by someone, listen to what they say, that person's purpose is to hit you." Ling Shaogu Lord said lightly.
