Chapter 18: Poisoning
The sky was just slightly bright, and the morning light passed through the window, announcing the arrival of early morning.
The servants of the royal palace rose one after another to prepare for the beginning of the day. But the masters of the various courtyards had not yet gotten up, and all of them were lightly spoken, and their speech was as low as that of a mosquito.
Mo Li and Mo Qingxi were personally arranged by Ye Jiuchen last night in Liulizhai not far from Hefeng Garden, although the location of this Liulizhai is a little remote, few people come, but the environment is quiet, the pavilions and pavilions are all exquisite, and there are a lot of strange flowers and plants, and even various herbs.
It is said that because there was a princess of Ding'an who was particularly fond of flowers and plants, this Liulizhai was originally a courtyard specially designed for her by the king of Ding'an at that time. It's just that although the princess likes it very much, she is riddled with mundane things every day, and she can't live for a few days. It's more that the servants below often come to clean the courtyard and carefully care for the flowers and herbs.
Later, in order to show respect for the ancestors, it has been continued for so many years.
However, this courtyard is very strange, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers and plants, looking at the glow of the sky gradually brightening, the corners of the mouth can't help but turn up, and the long and white beard rises melodiously with the morning breeze.
Glancing back at the room next door where there was no movement, the little apprentice hadn't gotten up yet, and it seemed that she was really tired from the journey in the past few days.
Suddenly, a rush of footsteps got closer and closer, Mo Li looked over, and a young man in Tsing Yi stood at the arch, and said with a happy face: "Doctor Mo, my second son is invited." ”
Mo Li's snow-white eyebrows rose, "Your prince is awake?"
"Yes, please ask the doctor to come and have a look. The little guy in Tsing Yi said respectfully.
"Let's go. Mo Li didn't go back to the house to get the medicine box, he just put his hand behind his back and walked away.
In the Hefeng Garden, Mo Li's old hand was on the wrist of King Ding'an, who had already woken up, and he was silent because he was closing his eyes and carefully identifying the pulse.
King Ding'an's green hair is mixed with white, the wrinkles on his wheat-colored skin have disappeared a lot, his appearance is handsome, and his facial features are as if they have been carved by heaven, three-dimensional and profound, but he is barely three points similar to his younger brother Ye Jiuchen.
Maybe it's because he just woke up, his face is pale, his spirit is listless, and his eyes are a little blank looking at the strange doctor who is taking his pulse.
Although he asked Jiu Chen to invite him, he didn't expect to be invited. After all, he didn't have anything to trade with.
A quarter of an hour later, Mo Li withdrew his hand.
"Father's ......" Ye Jingrui saw that the divine doctor got up, and immediately put aside his mother, rubbed his small body on the bed, and his little hand tried to hold his father's big hand, and his small eyes looked at him worriedly.
The corners of Ye Jiuxiao's mouth curved, and he raised his other hand with difficulty and put it on Ye Jingrui's little head, and said softly: "Father is fine, Rui'er don't worry." ”
Ye Jingrui didn't listen to him, turned his little head, and looked in the direction of Moli.
"Doctor Mo, how is my eldest brother?" Ye Jiuchen asked out loud.
"There is no need to worry about my life, but there is too much toxin accumulation in the body, and I need to have an injection every half a month, and then nine times to completely get rid of it. Moreover, this poison is extremely destructive to the body, and even if it is completely removed, the body will have to be raised for several years before it can return to its original state. Otherwise, you will not be able to enjoy the life of ordinary people. Mo Li said lightly.
He also didn't expect that the poison in Jiuxiao's body was deeper than he imagined, and it was impossible to plant it with a single assassination, at least for a year.
The assassination that Ye Jiuchen said was more like detonating the poison hidden in his body, so that Ye Jiuxiao ran out of oil in the shortest possible time.
It seems that this palace is not very safe.
Ye Jiuchen is only proficient in martial arts, and he only knows a little about medical science, but when he saw that Doctor Mo said that he could be completely cured, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hugged his fists and said: "Then everything will be entrusted to Doctor Mo." ”
"Jiu Chen. Ye Jiuxiao on the bed shook his head.
"Brother......" Ye Jiuchen didn't understand why the eldest brother shook his head, wouldn't it be good that Doctor Mo could save him?
Ye Jiuxiao didn't explain to him immediately, but looked down at Ye Jingrui, who was greatly relieved, "Rui'er, go out with your mother first." ”
"Lord, the concubine is ......" The princess, who had been unable to interject, wanted to say that she could take care of him here, but his expression was stern that she had never seen before.
Ye Jingrui didn't want to go out, his father had been in bed all these days, he was sad every time he saw it, and finally his father woke up, and he wanted to accompany his father more.
"Obedient. Ye Jiuxiao moved his gaze from the princess to Ye Jingrui, and the sternness instantly turned into gentleness.
Ye Jingrui slid off the bed, folded his hands, and saluted in a decent manner, "Yes, father." ”
Ye Jiuxiao looked at it, with soft waves in his eyes, "Go ahead." ”
The princess led Ye Jingrui out, and glanced back before bypassing the screen, but saw that Ye Jiuxiao's eyes had been focused on Rui'er's body, and her eyes suddenly became complicated.
Ye Jiuchen took these into his eyes, lowered his eyelids, and covered the look in his eyes.
"Doctor Mo, tell me the truth, what about the poison in my body?" Ye Jiuxiao asked in a low voice.
His body knows it to himself, and now that he thinks about it, his body was not without signs before, but he didn't pay attention to it.
It's not that he didn't feel anything, Mo Li sat down on the edge of the bed again, "The poison on your body is not planted all at once, it has accumulated for at least a year. ”
"One year!" Ye Jiuchen exclaimed, he really didn't expect that his eldest brother had been poisoned for so long?
Then he looked at the eldest brother, but saw that he looked calm, not surprised or surprised at all.
"Big brother, you already knew that you were poisoned, why didn't you tell me?" Ye Jiuchen threw himself down in front of Ye Jiuxiao's bed, grabbed his old hand, and asked in shock.
Ye Jiuxiao held his hand and comforted: "It's okay, didn't Doctor Mo say that it can be cured." ”
"Big brother!" Ye Jiuchen shouted dissatisfiedly, it was not a question of whether it could be cured.
The eldest brother is the king of Ding'an, and the palace is heavily guarded, so it is impossible for outsiders to poison the eldest brother. But the eldest brother was quietly poisoned for a year, and it could only be that the people around the eldest brother had a traitor.
If this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, that person knows that the eldest brother is saved, and he will definitely do it again.
They are in the light, the enemy is in the dark, and the body of the eldest brother is like this, no matter how tightly defended it is, it will not work.
Ye Jiuxiao patted his hand gently, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, "Jiuchen, I know it in my heart." ”
"But ......" Ye Jiuchen was still not at ease.
"Old decay thinks that it is still necessary to mention to you that the poison in you is the black water refined by Xuan Qi. And you should be familiar with this thing of black water. Mo Li couldn't help but interject.
