Chapter 149: Strange Poison

When the doors and windows of the Westinghouse were all closed, King Jing's heart couldn't help but surge with an impulse, wanting to take advantage of Feiliu playing outside to send someone to eavesdrop on what was going on inside. In the end, though, he managed to control his urge and did nothing.

There is no doubt that Mei Changsu is hiding a secret, but whether to dig out this secret by any means necessary, King Jing is still hesitating. After more than a year of cooperation, he has gradually changed from disgust and suspicion to the current trust and respect for this strategist he defected to. He didn't want to undermine that trust, and he didn't want to lower that respect.

Therefore, in the face of the Westinghouse, where the doors and windows were closed, Xiao Jingyan tried his best to hold back the mystery rolling in his heart, but still remained silent.

The person who took the initiative to open the door and came out was Mei Changsu.

The strategist's face was very pale, and there was a faint flush on his eyelids, but his expression was calm, and when he walked into the main house, he seemed to feel no different from usual.

But as soon as King Jing raised his head, he suddenly knelt down.

"What's wrong with Mr. Su?" King Jing was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Why do you do this great gift?" ”

"Su has a reluctant request for His Highness's permission."

"If there is anything you can do, I will try to do it for you."

"Su dared to ask His Highness to come to the inner hall...... Invite the concubine for me...... Treating a patient......"

"Patient?" King Jing's eyes jumped, "The one in your room...... Patient? ”

"Yes."

King Jing frowned slightly, his expression was slightly displeased, "Although I am in the same hunting palace, it is not difficult for the mother concubine to come here." But when it comes to diagnosing and treating patients...... Isn't it time to find a doctor? ”

"This patient is too good to be a doctor." Mei Changsu raised his head, and his eyes flashed with earnestness. "I know this is unreasonable, but I have to speak to Your Highness. Your Highness, for the sake of the year I have done my best. I beg the concubine on my behalf, but if she refuses to come, I have nothing to say. ”

King Jing pursed the corners of his lips and hesitated. Mei Changsu has made countless contributions to assisting him since he began. But he never made any requests, and he couldn't kneel at this time, which was really impossible to refuse.

“…… All right. I'll go in and talk about it, but it's up to the concubine to decide whether to come or not. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Since King Jing agreed, he did not delay, slightly adjusted his clothes, and entered the inner hall. It is also a coincidence that Emperor Liang has been tightened and loosened since the bloody five days. I often dream at night, coughing and wheezing, and I can't sleep well at night, but I can't wake up during the day. Concubine Jing had just finished serving him medicine and sleeping peacefully. I was sitting under the porch of the hall and watching the parrots. I saw King Jing coming. And they rejoiced.

"Why did you come in again? You don't have to come all the way to say hello when you're out there. Concubine Jing took her son's hand. I was about to take him into the hall, and when I saw him, his expression stopped again: "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Child......" King Jing thought for a moment and said, "to be exact, Mr. Su's business." ”

Concubine Jing was slightly shocked and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Su?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that he has a strange patient with white hair in his room, and he wants to ask his mother to see one

"There is ...... all over the body," Concubine Jing's eyes flashed lightly, and suddenly froze, "I know, you wait a minute." ”

King Jing originally thought that Concubine Jing would at least ask why she didn't invite the imperial doctor", but she didn't expect that she didn't say a word at all, and went in person to get a small medicine box, so she decided to go out with him, and couldn't help but be even more suspicious, and her eyes narrowed.

Concubine Jing walked in front and didn't pay attention to her son's expression. Her pace was very fast, and the small courtyard of Jingwangdi was not far away, and she arrived in a few hours. Mei Changsu greeted her outside the courtyard, and when he saw her, he led her into the Westinghouse, and King Jing naturally followed closely.

Nie Feng was wrapped in a thick quilt, only half of his head was exposed, but it was very quiet. King Jing's eyes fell on a small bowl on the table, and there were still two drops of undrunk blood left in the bowl, and then he looked at Mei Changsu's wrist, and sure enough, it was re-bandaged, and his heart suddenly tightened.

Mei Changsu was not in good health, and he knew very well that bloodletting like this, again and again, was almost like desperately. If it was just for a strange patient, how could he do it to such an extent? How's he doing? Mei Changsu didn't care about King Jing at the moment, and all his attention was on Concubine Jing's two fingers, "How many layers of toxicity are there?" ”

"It's fine." Concubine Jing breathed a sigh of relief: "The toxicity is not deep, it has not reached the third layer, I will perform an injection for him, and I can suppress it for a month or two." But the poison of fire and cold is the first strange poison in the world, and my medical Tao can't solve it, not to mention that he has been poisoned for too long, and it is also very troublesome to solve. "Oh," Mei Changsu groaned, "Then please do the needle." ”

Concubine Jing looked at him deeply, didn't say anything, opened the medicine box, took out a silver needle, and used the wine flame to extinguish the poison, and then began to concentrate on the patient. This set of acupuncture seems to be very complicated, and it took nearly half an hour to collect the needles one by one, and the patient still had no reaction, and Concubine Jing was already drenched in sweat.

"Thank you, Niangniang, Houde, Su, ...... "Okay, the doctor should have a benevolent heart, why bother to say thank you." Concubine Jing smiled, took the handkerchief he handed over, wiped her sweat, and asked tentatively, "You...... You should know someone who can cure this poison, right? ”

"Hmm." Mei Changsu nodded calmly: "I will invite him over as soon as possible, but the journey is a bit far, and I will have to wait a few days." ”

"If the healer has any recurrence before the patient comes, just come to me."

Mei Changsu replied in a low voice, and only then did he remember to look at King Jing.

"Mother and Mr. Su seem to have known each other for a long time," King Jing saw that the two of them finally remembered that he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "But Mr. Su looks younger than me, it shouldn't be the place where I knew my mother before I was born, right?" ”

Concubine Jing slowly put away the silver needle and sighed lightly: "You still want to know ...... after all"

"But Mother still doesn't want to say it?"

Concubine Jing glanced at Mei Changsu, who turned her face to the side and shook her head slightly.

"Mr. Su is the son of an old man, and I didn't even know he existed before. It was a coincidence that we were able to meet and get acquainted. ”

"The deceased?"

"...... to the deceased," Concubine Jing's eyes revealed a complex expression of nostalgia and sadness. At that time, I was a young girl who practiced medicine with Master. But he was bullied by the local doctor in every way, if it weren't for this old man passing by to save him, I am afraid that he would have died in the ravine a long time ago......"

King Jing had never heard of his mother's past, and he was immediately moved: "Mr. Su has such a relationship with his mother. Why hasn't it been mentioned before? ”

"I didn't know until I met my mother." Mei Changsu lowered his head.

"But...... There's nothing about this past, why didn't my mother want to tell me? ”

Concubine Jing seemed to know that he would ask this, and smiled sadly: "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't want to say it." After all, the old man is gone, and it is sad to bring up the old facts......"

King Jing saw that his mother's face was gloomy, although he felt that she could not speak. I couldn't bear to ask any more and turned to Mei Changsu and said, "Then this patient ...... What does it have to do with Mr.? ”

"Friends." Mei Changsu replied succinctly: "Very good friend." ”

Xiao Jingyan was stunned. Knowing that asking questions again is tantamount to digging into people's privacy. What's more, Mei Changsu only came to join him more than a year ago. There were a few friends he didn't know. That's just a normal thing.

"Your Majesty Jing Yan should also wake up. Let's go. Concubine Jing got up slowly, nodded slightly to Mei Changsu, and walked out of the house first. King Jing had no choice but to pick up the medicine box and follow.

Mei Changsu only sent them to the door, then turned back and comforted Nie Feng with a smile: "Fortunately, the toxicity is not deep, don't worry, take care of everything, I have everything, of course you can trust me, right?" ”

Nie Feng stretched out his white-haired hand and grabbed him, whining twice in his mouth.

"I know......" Mei Changsudi's smile was tinged with sadness, "You have gone through a lot of hardships to walk from Meiling to the imperial capital, all the way to avoid expulsion and round-up, just to see Sister Xia Dong...... I'm sorry she didn't drive to Jiu'an Mountain this time...... But how happy she would be to know that you were still alive...... I'll arrange for you to meet as soon as I get back to Beijing, okay? ”

Nie Feng's shoulders trembled for a moment, and he suddenly shook his head violently.

"It's okay, it's okay," Mei Changsu hugged him and patted his back gently, "No matter what you become, Sister Xia Dong won't care, as long as you live, you will live...... It is the greatest comfort to her. ”

Nie Feng's head hung down on Mei Changsu's shoulder, and the hot liquid dripped from between his hairs, soaking his clothes.

"Your life was also taken by the brothers, right? They would rather die themselves, and if they want you to live, you have to live well. You are the only one in the forward battalion of the Absolute Soul Valley who survived, and only Wei Zheng and I were left in the Red Feather Battalion...... The sixteen generals in the main camp easily escaped by luck, one Nie Duo's father, Uncle Nie, Uncle Qi, and Uncle Ji...... There are also 70,000 Red Flame Souls, each of them lives on us, no matter how painful it is, we must bear the responsibility of survivors......" Mei Changsu gently helped Nie Feng to the pillow and lay down to smooth the corners of the quilt for him, "Brother Nie, I'm very tired, you must come to help, I know?" ”

Nie Feng panted heavily, took his hand into his palm, and clenched it tightly.

"That's right...... Sleep, I'll sleep well with you. Mei Changsu had a gentle smile on his face, but Nie Feng only glanced at it and closed his eyes suddenly.

Because it wasn't Lin Shu's smile, it wasn't the most flamboyant smile in the world full of youthful energy in his memory.

Nie Feng saw his future in the changes of the young marshal of Chiyan like a hellish rejuvenation.

This made him feel pain, not only for himself, but also for Xia Dong...... Feiliu, who went out to play, came back about a quarter of an hour later, and when he entered the door, he saw that Brother Su was folding a piece of paper with writing into small strips, and immediately went out very sensibly, hugged a carrier pigeon brought from the capital, and helped tie the small cylinder containing the note to the pigeon's feet.

"Let it go, Uncle Li, they will immediately find a way to notify Brother Lin Chen when they receive the letter."

Feiliu was letting go of his hand, and when he heard the second half of the sentence, he instinctively reached out and grabbed the carrier pigeon that had just spread his wings again, and hugged it tightly.

"Feiliu let it go." Mei Changsu glanced at him reproachfully.

"Don't!"

"It's a very important thing to call Brother Lin Chen, he won't have time to tease you

The boy blinked his big eyes and seemed not to believe it.

"Quickly put it away, if you are disobedient again, Brother Su will be angry. The boy flattened his mouth, reluctantly let go of his hand, and watched the carrier pigeon flutter its wings and rush into the sky, and soon flew higher and higher and disappeared without a trace.

"His poison is only three layers, and it should be much better than mine......" Mei Changsu's gaze fell softly on the person sleeping on the bed, covering his mouth with a hand towel and suppressing his low cough, all the way to the outside. Feiliu ran over and patted him on the back, and when he saw the white scarf bandaged on his wrist, he pointed angrily and asked, "Who?" ”

"I was careless." Mei Changsu kept coughing, his chest became more and more stuffy, and his brain gradually began to dizzy. He knew that something was wrong, and immediately took out a vial from his bosom with a trembling hand, poured a red pill, took it out, swallowed it, and lay himself on the table.

Feiliu remembered that every time Brother Su took this medicine, the situation was the worst, and he immediately panicked, circled around him several times, and suddenly rushed outside the house and shouted, "Buffalo! Buffalo! ”
