"Yes, grandpa, you don't have to leave all the secret guards in the Hou Mansion in the future, now everyone in our Hou Mansion has their own secret guards, I will arrange their residences, as well as their living affairs, so that you don't have to worry."

"Well, since you've already arranged it, you can just look at these things."

"Grandpa, don't worry, I'm not an opinionated person, I know how to do it."

"Hehe, okay then, I don't care about your business, but you remember, no matter what happens, don't be impulsive, everything must be your own life."

"Yes, I will."

"Alright, let's all disperse!"

"Yes, Grandpa, Father!"

After everyone dispersed, Steward Li came to the old marquis: "Wait, the injury of the head of the royal courtyard has healed, and he wants to go back to the palace." ”

"No, he's already a dead man in name, and he can't be allowed to go back!" The old marquis said resolutely.

"Then Master Hou plans to let him stay here?"

"Of course not, I'll make another arrangement!"

"Li Qiao, let's go somewhere, you call Zhiyao over."

"Yes! Master Hou! ”

A moment later, Li Qiao came to Sheng Zhiyao's courtyard and called Sheng Zhiyao to the old marquis's study.

"Zhiyao, grandpa is going back to the villa, I'm going to find a medical book."

"Good! Is Uncle Li also with you? ”

"Yes, I need his help."

"Good! Uncle Li grabbed my left hand. Sheng Zhiyao said and stretched out his right hand to take the old marquis, Li Qiao looked dazed, but he still did it.

Immediately, the three of them disappeared into the study of the old marquis Sheng, Sheng Zhiyao moved their minds and they returned to the small villa, Hongxue heard the movement and hurriedly ran out of the house, and saw Sheng Zhiyao with the old marquis and Steward Li asked worriedly: "Is there something going on outside?" Why did you all come in? ”

Li Qiao, who was shocked when Hongxue suddenly spoke, was stunned for a moment, and then the old marquis smiled and said: "Hehe, Hongxue, we met again, and I didn't have time to thank you for your help last time I was outside the city." ”

"The old marquis is polite, this is what I should do." Hongxue said respectfully.

"Master Hou, what the hell is going on? Is this true? Li Qiao looked at everything in front of him in disbelief, he really couldn't believe that what he had just experienced was true, this was also incredible.

"Uncle Li, Grandpa and I didn't mean to hide it from you, we just didn't find a chance to tell you."

"I understand, I understand, this can't be casually let others know, Master Hou, in fact, you don't need to let me know, after all, one less person knows that it is less dangerous." Li Qiao said with a serious face.

"Uncle Li, you are the closest person to me other than my grandfather, and besides, you have long been a part of our family, so no matter what, you will not be someone else, and I was going to tell you."

"Good, good!" Li Qiao was very excited when he heard this, and he couldn't describe his mood at this time in words.

"Okay, Li Qiao and I will go to the study to find books! Zhiyao, you're busy, I'll be looking for you when I go out. ”

"Grandpa, in the future, if you and Uncle Li want to come in or go out, you can directly find Hongxue, it can come and go freely in this space." Sheng Zhiyao pointed to Hongxue who was standing on the side and said.

"Okay, I got it."

"If the old marquis has something to do, just call me by name, and I will appear in front of you immediately."

"Well, go ahead! Li Qiao and I went to the study. ”

After Hongxue and Sheng Zhiyao left, Old Marquis Sheng and Li Qiao walked towards the study.

Li Qiao looked at Old Marquis Sheng, and asked with a puzzled face: "Can Master Hou go out of this villa?" ”

"No, this space was transformed by the bracelet I asked you to take out, and it was only because I wore it on Zhi Yao that this villa appeared."

"And where did the young lady get those beds that she bought before?"

"I really don't know about this, I'll ask later."

When he came to the study, the old marquis did not look for medical books in the bookcase, but sat down in front of the desk and opened the drawer, took out a wooden box inside, and handed the wooden box to Li Qiao.

Li Qiao opened the box suspiciously, and saw a black pill lying inside, he took it out and took a look, the color of this pill was black, and the surface was smooth and delicate.

"Master Hou, what is this?"

"This is a formula I got on a business trip in Yunnan by chance, saying that it can control the toxicity of a person's body, but it is also a highly toxic drug, I am not sure what the specific effect is, I have been studying this drug for several years, but I have never found any clue."

"Oh, so that's the case, is the Hou Ye going to use it on the head of the royal court? But hasn't his poison been cured by Zhi Yao? ”

"Yes, it's solved, but when I took his pulse, I found that Wang Yuanshou's symptoms were very similar to the symptoms of the pill in my hand on white mice, but it was not as toxic as the pill in my hand, so I suspect that this prescription exists in this world, I still need to study it carefully, you can put it away for me first."

"Yes, Master Hou!" Li Qiao carefully put away the pill box.

Old Marquis Sheng looked at Li Qiao and said: "Li Qiao, I never wanted to harm anyone, but some things are destined to be unavoidable, so no matter what happens, we must protect our lives, no matter what, we can't live a third time." ”

"I know."

"You go out for a walk first! I'll be right there. ”

"Yes!" Li Qiao bowed and retreated.

After Li Qiao left, the old marquis Sheng took out a picture scroll from the drawer, on which there was a brightly colored snake wrapped around the waist of a tree, and there was a small red grass on the tree.

The picture scroll was picked up by chance in the cave when the old marquis Sheng was picking medicine in Yunnan, and there was the formula of the pill next to it, at that time the old marquis Sheng did not notice that there was anything wrong with this picture scroll, but he thought that the snake on the painting was very beautiful, so he put it away and put it in his drawer, and also made the pill out, and later because of this picture scroll, he remembered one thing, he once saw a story in an ancient book.

This story is that there was a national teacher in a certain dynasty, and he had a daughter, who was the queen of the emperor of the dynasty, who was beautiful in appearance, gentle in personality, and deeply loved.

In the course of a hunting competition, the queen was bitten by a poisonous snake and fell unconscious on the spot, and the emperor was furious and ordered someone to kill all the snakes on the mountain and take out the snake gall.

In order to save the empress, the emperor summoned all the doctors in the city to heal her.

However, at that time, so many doctors gathered together, were helpless, in desperation, a Jianghu Langzhong proposed a prescription, after the discussion of the famous doctors, or hesitate, although this prescription can not solve this snake venom but can be controlled with drugs to control its toxins, not to die prematurely, but this special method is also refined with highly toxic herbs, so the toxins will accumulate more and more, to the body can not bear the death of the doubt.

In the end, the emperor really didn't want the queen to continue like this, so he ordered the use of this special prescription, but this prescription to control the toxin needed to use a poisonous snake's snake gall, the emperor gave all the snake gall bladder harvested in the hunting grounds to these famous doctors, but no one dared to give the cured medicine to the queen, so the emperor let the condemned prisoners in the dungeon test the medicine, and promised that if the person who could survive after taking the medicine could be acquitted.

That night, the condemned prisoners took the medicine, and the next day, all the prisoners who took the medicine died.
