Chapter 253: Poisoning (I)
(Missing chapter 252, I'll make it up tomorrow!) οΌ
Xia Qian woke up the next day, and Huo Zun was gone.
She wore a pair of late autumn clothes and still didn't feel warm, so she thought about it and added a thick cloak.
Staring at her in disbelief, he exclaimed in surprise: "Young lady, this is a dog day, it is no longer raining,!" β
"It just rained yesterday, I'm really cold, waiting for the sun to come out, I just take off my cloak!"
She said and sat at the table, took a few sips of bird's nest porridge, and was about to say why today's porridge was so cold, remembering Jingya's emotional appearance a few days ago, she pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
After pondering the mural for a few days, she had some thoughts in her mind, and her right hand could barely lift the pen, which was after a few days of careful thinking and many practices, she found that her left hand would also have the potential to start painting.
Drawing and drawing, she shuddered all over her body, and dropped the paintbrush to the ground, Xia Qian sighed lightly and rubbed her fingers vigorously.
"Strange, why is it still cold?" She rubbed her fingers over her face for a while, and then said to the monkey behind her, "It's too cold, go get that cloak for me!" β
She waited for a long time, but she didn't wait for the cloak, but saw Huo Zun looking at her in surprise.
"Is it cold?" He grabbed her hand and asked.
She nodded, retracting her hand from his.
"It's noon, everyone else is enjoying the shade under the tree, and you still feel cold under the sun?"
Xia Qian looked up at the sun, and then at the vendor sitting under the tree to escape the heat, her eyebrows tightened more and more.
"Your palms are hot, if you were scared by last nightmare, it might be better to say it!"
She bit her lip and told her about last night's dream, if she hadn't been aware of the changes in her body before, she had already begun to realize it now, and she was a little frightened.
In the past few days, she can't tell the difference between warmth and heat, and there is only one feeling in her body and mind - cold, which is colder than standing in the ice and snow.
"Ice cellar? That's all? He looked at her quizzically, a little disappointed in his eyes.
Xia Qian bowed her head seriously.
"Then go home, eat hot pot for dinner, you and Jingya will do it, I will ask the monkey to buy some vegetables and come back, and leave him to eat together in the evening!"
Because the monkeys were there, the dinner was a lot more lively, but no one expected that there would be one more person in the dinner room-Qin Xinyue.
She was invited in by Huo Zun when she passed by the gate of the West Courtyard, and she was very quiet and well-behaved and understanding during the meal, and she was like Qin Xinyue, who was aggressive in the West Courtyard that day.
Xia Qian glanced at her disdainfully and entered the kitchen on the pretext of adding a few dishes.
Jing Ya hurriedly rushed over to help, the master and servant picked a lot of dishes, and washed a lot, but none of them were added to the table, Qin Xinyue was more than eight months pregnant, she wouldn't be really stupid enough to make food for her.
"Sister-in-law, I can't finish the dishes, you don't need to add vegetables, come over and eat quickly!" The monkey ran into the kitchen and said to her anxiously.
"I'm clumsy, I can't eat all the new dishes, you eat first, I'll cook some noodles, and I'll be right away!" As she spoke, she poured a bucket of wine and swill into a half-cooked dish and began to boil the noodles again.
A good table of hot pot only left Huo Zun/Monkey and Qin Xinyue to eat, the stomachs of the three of them were already filled, Xia Qian's noodles were not yet cooked, and the monkey saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he made an excuse to slip away early.
Qin Xinyue sat at the table, staring at Huo Zun reluctantly, muttering his advantages into shortcomings to please Huo Zun, Huo Zun looked at the kitchen as if he was listening, and the expression on his face was incomprehensible.
When Xia Qian walked out of the kitchen, the courtyard was already empty, and Jingya said that Huo Zun and Qin Xinyue walked out of the west courtyard hand in hand. Xia Qian smiled lightly and said that she was in a better mood as soon as they left.
The chill on her body became more and more obvious, and she added a winter quilt when she fell asleep, but at night it was still like walking in the ice and snow, and her body seemed to be completely penetrated by the wind and condensed by the ice.
She dreamed that she was floating on the high snow-capped mountains, her body was light and fluttering, like catkins that had been swept up to the sky, getting lighter and weaker, and she was less and less aware of her existence.
There were endless icebergs and snowfields in front of her eyes, and there was no breath of life around her, and a scene appeared in her mind in a tranceβthe scene before the death of Qianshan and Twilight.
The last scene of this story is also really on the endless snowy mountains, Twilight Snow who has lost her mana and Nedan has become stupid and has no memory, and Chiyama desperately tells her their story, but Twilight Snow doesn't remember it at all, and just guards the ice and snow in that place according to the prompts of a picture scroll.
"How did I get into the story? And floating in the air? Xia Qian looked at the scene in front of her and herself floating in the air in surprise.
After wandering in the air for an unknown amount of time, she finally saw a figure, the back of a thin woman half-kneeling in the snow.
"Twilight? Is it really you? β
Xia Qian fell to the ground, got up and stumbled towards the woman. But just as the tentacles were within reach, the blue light on the man's body flashed and floated more than a dozen feet away.
She staggered and didn't know how long she had been chasing, and she couldn't walk anymore and sat on the snow. But at this time, the man stopped again, as if waiting for her, she continued to chase, but still couldn't catch up.
It's just that, chasing and chasing, she seems to see more clearly, and feels that the person's back is seven points similar to herself.
"Don't go, wait for me! Wait for me! She shouted, snapping her eyes open.
Huo Zun's eyelids lifted suddenly, withdrew his hands against her back, and took her into his arms.
The pink and purple bed, the huge brass screen came into view, Xia Qian slowly came back to her senses, and found that there were more than a dozen braziers in the room, and Huo Zun was sitting on the bed and used internal force to ward off the cold for her.
"Xia Qian, you were poisoned, how do you feel now?" Huo Zun looked at her with an anxious face.
She shuddered twice in a row and said, "I dreamed of twilight snow, and I couldn't catch up after chasing it for a long time!" β
"You don't have to chase, I'm a thousand mountains, and you'll be fine with me! Have you ever eaten out lately? Or what have you drunk? β
Xia Qian thought about it for a long time, and thought of the cup of Lushan clouds and mist that she had drunk on the painting boat when she was swimming in Nanyuan Lake that day.
This year's drought has made the color and shape of the tea obviously worse, but that cup of tea is the best tea that can only be picked when the wind and rain are good. The boatman said that the tea was specially watered by a friend of his, but now he feels that it is full of loopholes.
"Lushan clouds? Boatman, boatman, you wait, I'll let people check it! Huo Zun helped her lie down on the bed and immediately left the West Courtyard.
Two hours later, Huo Zun and Imperial Physician Chen stood in the bedroom, both of them as confident as frosted eggplants.
"This Guanghansan is a strange poison in the world, the formula is ever-changing, and if you can't find someone who is drugged, there is no way to invite the red old immortal." Doctor Chen sighed and said.
Huo Zunjian's eyebrows furrowed into two peaks, and he asked eagerly: "That boatman has long been gone, and the person who poisoned him can't find it right now." Doctor, if there is no antidote, what will happen to Xia Qian? β
"This poison is extremely insidious, and the body temperature seems to be the same as that of ordinary people at first, but the poisoned person will feel cold. By the time people are found to have a low body temperature and cold, they are often deeply poisoned. If there is no antidote, the internal organs will freeze and die, and the young lady's condition will probably not survive these two days! β
