Chapter 84: The Poison Pill Case
"Brother Lu, please help me take a look at what this is." In the palace Lu Ke house, Wu Jian held a villain in his hand and humbly asked for advice.
In the battle that day, Lu Ke was also injured, but compared to Wu Gan's side, no one cared about him, but Zhao Yan attached great importance to him, and sent a lot of injury medicine, and his body was already fine.
Regarding Wu Gan's visit at night, Lu Ke couldn't help but be a little curious. Stretched out his hand to take the villain, looked at it and frowned, "Where did you get it?"
"Around the yard."
Lu Ke looked up sharply, "But there are nine?"
Wu Yan nodded.
Lu Ke's face was solemn, "You must be careful these days, this is the means of the Fu Hades Gate, and the nine villains are facing the Nine Palace Flying Stars. This sect is good at controlling ghosts, detaining souls and breaking gods, and the methods are very vicious, making people unguardable.
On the peak that day, Luo Yuanbing, who fought against you, looked at his means as the people of the Fuyin Gate. Whatever the reason, this man died at your hands, and his accomplices must have come to take revenge. Otherwise, you will leave this place for a while."
Wu Yan sighed, "Alas, I have a child, where can I run to. To tell you the truth, Brother Lu, Zhao Ling promised me to give Chu Ji a noble Ding nationality. But for so long, every time I inquire, I always talk about him.
I was hung alive by this bait, and if it weren't for the first glow, I would have slipped with oil on the soles of my feet. Now this Fu Hades Gate must also be eyeing Chu Ji, if it weren't for this person, I wouldn't be able to sleep well."
Lu Ke pondered for a long time, then turned his head to look at Wu Yan, "I'll try to ask Zhao Yan if she knows the news of Fu Yingmen. If there is news, you can be optimistic about Chu Ji, and I will deal with it, such a vicious person, if you kill it, you will kill it."
Speaking of this, Lu Ke glanced outside, and said in a low voice: "If it's just the Fuyin Gate, this place is the private property of King Jinchun, and the other party can sneak in, I'm afraid ......
Wu Yan nodded, "Thank you Brother Lu for helping, I'll deal with the rest, it's a big deal, let's muddy the water first."
After the two discussed properly, Wu Gan simply did not go out of the door after returning, and did not step out of the second door, and cowered in the house every day, and even asked Lu Ke to help buy and bring back all the food to prevent someone from poisoning.
At night, Wu Gen let the thin-waisted slave protect Chu Ji, and the grinding plate Dafa was wantonly urged, without sparing his soul power. With such a cost-free consumption, the soul power is quickly consumed every day, and it has to be replenished from time to time.
Wu Gen found that Zhaoluan Peak was sparsely populated, his breath was refreshing, and his cultivation of delusion was much faster. Not only is the soul power restored very quickly, but as long as you visualize it a little, the huge grinding disc is presented to the mind.
Three days later, the group of sages finally ended, although there were a few waves during the period, but overall, it was a successful conference, Zhao Qian, the king of Jinchun, further highlighted his status among the cultivators, and the general trend of the cultivation world of Zhiyi County had been completed.
After King Jinchun left, a group of guests from the palace were also going back, and everyone packed up their things and set off from their respective residences.
When he arrived at Wu Gan, he was too sick to ride a horse, and with the help of Chu Ji, Fang trembled and got into a carriage.
Thanks to Wu Gan's fight for the face of the warriors at the Qunxian Meeting, these accompanying guards and soldiers were quite polite to Wu Gen and made everything convenient. From time to time, someone passed by the carriage, did not speak, but clenched his fists, or threw down a jug of wine, or threw down some newly hunted antlers, etc.
Although these warriors are silent, rude, and can't say anything, as long as they are admired by others, they are more affectionate than any literati. After a while, Wu Gan's car was piled with a lot of strange things.
Chu Ji fiddled with two long pheasant tail feathers and stuck them on Wu Gan's head, giggling from time to time.
My brother told himself a few days ago that outsiders said that he was seriously injured and bedridden.
Looking at Wu Gan, who was lying in the car uncomfortably, Chu Ji thought of a way to make him happy. She has a keen mind and is good at reading people's hearts. In the huge palace, only this lying brother treats himself sincerely.
When approaching Guanxi City, Xiang got up and went to the side of the car, looked at Wu Gan, who was pale and in high spirits, and teased Chu Ji for a while before getting up and leaving.
After he left, Wu Jian jumped up from the car. beginning
Ji handed over a paper ball, opened the paper ball and took a look, Wu Gan groaned slightly, and then threw it into the tea and tore it apart.
When he arrived at his residence, Wu Jian inserted the courtyard door and hid in the courtyard and closed the door. Instead, he sent Chu Ji to Zhao Ling to ask for some medicine.
Zhao Ling specially sent a maid and a doctor to visit with Chu Ji.
Wu Geng's eyes were blank, his lips were dry, and he was lying on the bed with a depressed expression, as if he had changed a person, and let the doctor take the pulse. After a while, the doctor opened his eyes and squinted slightly, "Alas, the internal injuries are very serious, I'm afraid ......" new
"I'm afraid of what?" The maid asked eagerly.
"I'm afraid there won't be a month or two that won't recover." The doctor shook his head and said, "The only way to do this is to stay in bed and recuperate to see the injury."
"Thank you...... Doctor Xie, please leave a way to save your life." Wu Gan's voice trembled, and his anger was like a gossamer.
After leaving a prescription, the doctor and the maid turned and left. As soon as the two of them were discharged from the hospital, Wu Gengteng jumped up from the bed, "It's so dangerous, I didn't expect Zhao Ling, this crazy woman, to be so careful, and she specially sent someone to investigate the situation."
Fang Cai deliberately disturbed the meridians, the qi and blood flowed backwards, and he almost held back the internal injuries, so he could deceive the doctor.
Now that Zhao Ling knew that he was seriously ill, what should he do next, Wu Ling sat on the bed and thought to himself.
In the early morning, the official road was dusty, and a light horse hurried towards Guanxi City. When they arrived at the gate of the city, the guards did not look at it, and rode straight into the city.
Along the bluestone street, the light horse came to the front of the Jinchun Palace. The guards of the palace saw it from afar, and did not think so. This is the envoy of Genshan Gate who routinely sends pills to the prince, every time it is this hour, familiar faces, and after a brief look, he waved his hand to dismount and enter the door.
Entering the gate of the palace, this person drove to the steward's room. Every time the elixir is delivered, it must be handed over to the steward's room, and then the steward will present it to the prince, and this has been the case for many years.
As soon as I walked to the second courtyard, I was greeted by a person, who I knew, it was a steward named Wang Rong in Zhao Qian's mansion. Sometimes Zhao Qian would also ask for some pills, all of which were handled by Wang Rong, so they became familiar with each other after coming and going.
"Brother Li, I'm here to send Dan again so early." Wang Rong greeted him with a smile.
"Isn't it, the newly refined elixir was sent to the prince early in the morning. Eh, Wang Rong, my complexion doesn't look right today, but you're sick." The person who sent Dan was surprised.
"Ahem, I feel a chill. By the way, Brother Li, I just happened to be in the steward's room, why don't I bring the pill for you." Wang Rong said enthusiastically.
"This is not good, every time it has to be handed over to Steward Zhou." The person who sent Dan hesitated.
"You, you, you don't know the hearts of good people, Steward Zhou has something to do today, and he will come over later, it's not a matter for you to wait alone, anyway, I'm in the palace, see him come back and seize the opportunity to give him it, and it will save you the delay in effort." Forget it, forget it, if you don't believe me, then you might as well wait alone."
"Don't mind, brother doesn't mean that, since Steward Zhou is not here, then it will bother the king to take charge." As he spoke, he handed over the box on his back, "Just take this opportunity to go to the city to buy some sundries."
"It's a trivial matter, and our brothers are still so polite." Wang Rong took the box with his hand.
"Thank you, steward, and I'll take my leave."
"Brother Li walks slowly, it's up to me." Wang Rong patted his chest and said.
Watching the person who sent Dan leave, Wang Rong groaned slightly, turned around and walked towards the steward's room.
Zhao Chang has been quite enthusiastic about cultivation over the years, and he has to take a pill every day. Some time ago, the steward's room sent a new pill from Genshanmen, and after eating two, the effect was extraordinary, and since then he has asked for a long offering of this pill.
Early in the morning, as soon as Zhao Chang got up, there were two maids standing in front of the bed, one holding a wooden plate with the pills to be eaten today, and the other holding two cups of tea, one for gargling, and the other for taking pills.
Zhao Chang took the pill, put it in his mouth, poured a sip of tea and sent it down. According to the usual practice, today to meet with the people of the county guard's mansion, Zhao Chang was served by the maid to change his clothes while spitting out.
deep
I exhaled and was just about to go out, when I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my abdomen. Zhao Chang's face changed, cold sweat broke out from his forehead, his face turned blue, and he trembled and moaned, "Send this king to the toilet quickly."
In the afternoon, a piece of news quickly spread in the palace that the prince had been poisoned.
Not to mention the poisoning, Zhao Chang went back and forth more than a dozen times. At this time, he was lying on the bed, his face was like gold paper, and his eye sockets had collapsed. Several doctors and qi practitioners waited on the side, with sad faces.
Since the morning, Zhao Chang has suddenly felt unwell, and all kinds of means have been used, but he still can't stop the illness. Check the diet and everything is fine. I also checked the pills I was taking, and there were two fake pills.
Seeing that Zhao Chang has not entered, if he continues to delay, I am afraid that his life will be in danger. If it weren't for a few doormen who had crossed into some aura, I am afraid that they would have fallen unconscious at this time.
"Take...... Fetch the Jade Huadan." Zhao Chang gasped and commanded.
"Lord Wang, no, Yuhua Dan is a great tonic, with Lord Wang's current illness, I'm afraid I can't tolerate its medicinal properties." A doctor hurriedly dissuaded.
"Yong...... Quacks, get medicine quickly." Zhao Changqi's beard trembled.
Soon, the chief steward Gao Cheng took the Yuhua Dan, looked at the doctor's eyes, and carefully persuaded: "Lord Wang, take less first, and then take it after it has an effect."
Zhao Chang nodded, he really didn't have the strength to be angry with these people.
Gao Cheng cut a small half of the pill and took it on Zhao Chang's back. After a while, his face became ruddy, and a mist appeared on his body, and at last his face was as red as a date, as if it had been roasted, and his eyes were wide open, and he was clutching his chest and struggling with all his might.
A group of people were frightened and stroked their chests, and they channeled their aura, and Zhao Changfang fell asleep after tossing for a long time.
When he woke up again, it was already night, and Zhao Chang opened his eyes to see Gao Cheng and his son Zhao Qian standing in the house.
"Father, you're awake." Zhao Qian hurriedly stepped forward with a look of concern.
Zhao Chang waved his hand, "It's okay, I know it in my heart. Zhang Qing, where is he? Also, where Zhao Ling is, his father is dying, and he doesn't know how to come and take a look."
Gao Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The villain will summon the two of them over immediately." Zhao Chang nodded, then squinted and lay down again.
After a pillar of incense, Gao Chengfang walked in, his face was a little ugly, "Lord Qiqi, Lord Weng and Zhang Qingju are not there, I asked the next person, and said that they went out yesterday and have not returned."
Hearing this, Zhao Qian said angrily, "These two shameless people must have wandered somewhere. Father, wait for me to go and get them back."
Zhao Chang's eyes widened when he heard this, and he glared at his son, "Are you still afraid that the ugliness of the family will not be known, go and check, who sent the pill today, who received the housekeeper's room, and who passed through the hands of this king before he reached the mouth of this king."
Cold sweat oozed from Gao Cheng's forehead and hurried out. When the prince said this, he had already decided that there was something wrong with the pill, after all, the steward's room was under his jurisdiction, and he had to go around without being able to eat if something happened.
After waiting for a long time, Gao Cheng came back, glanced at Zhao Qian with a strange expression, walked to Zhao Chang's bed, leaned over and whispered a few words.
After Gao Cheng finished speaking, Zhao Chang's eyes widened, and he actually sat up and scolded loudly, "Zhao Qian, what do you want?"
