Chapter 217: Life or Death
Ye Shuhua rubbed the crack with her hand, fantasizing that it would be gone if she rubbed it, but everything was just her delusion.
"You said that you found the thousand-year-old jade sand, is it it?"
Li Zhen said coldly, Ye Shuhua froze for a moment, and his finger belly just stopped at the gap.
Because there was quicksand in it, cracks were opened, and a fine liquid overflowed from it.
It's wet and slippery to the touch, and there is a hint of fragrance when you smell it.
The aroma smells very peculiar, and after smelling it, I only feel like flower petals entering the sea, which makes people yearn for it and feel relaxed.
She pulled away from the aroma before she suddenly remembered what he had just said.
The spring day is windy, and the wind is more violent along the coast of Liguo.
The branches of the trees in the courtyard were blown to the ground, and the young leaves that had just grown were carried into the air by the wind, flying wildly, like a painter's pen just for the ink point, scribbling on the blank space.
Not afraid of what is left, and not afraid of what will not be left behind.
Ye Shuhua was so blown by the wind that she couldn't open her eyes, and as soon as she stepped into the room, Ji Cui forcibly closed the doors and windows with half-squinted eyes.
But it still couldn't stop the wind from slipping in just as it was about to close, and at the same time brought in a few young leaves.
Young leaves fluttered and scattered on the table beside them, sliding down the edge of the bottle.
Old man Sang was still holding the wine jar in his arms, and he was drinking hot, leaning on the back of his chair, laughing and drinking.
"Hahaha, good wine, good wine. There is no greater joy in life than to be alive and accompanied by good wine! ”
Ye Shuhua patted the dust on her body, it was windy today, but it was only a quarter of an hour away, and she felt that her face was full of dust.
She walked over, snatched the old man's wine, and sat down across from him.
"Don't drink it, I have something serious to ask you."
The old man ran out of wine in his hand, snorted, and glanced at her again, but he didn't say anything with dissatisfaction on his face.
He closed his eyes and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Ye Shuhua took out the jade bracelet from his arms, his eyes were shining with light, and he said with anticipation: "Didn't you say that you wanted a thousand years of jade sand?" You see what's in there, isn't it? ”
Hearing this, Old Man Sang opened his eyes suddenly, and what caught his eye was the streamer jade bracelet.
The color is pure, smooth and translucent.
It's just that there are some cracks on the jade bracelet, the cracks are sinking, and purple quicksand-like liquid is oozing from the cracks.
It also glows with fluorescence, and looks like a meteor twinkle.
His eyes widened suddenly, and he took the jade bracelet and took a closer look, his dry fingers touching the quicksand, rubbing back and forth between his fingers.
Suddenly, the whole person was excited and frenzied, and some of the drunken alcohol disappeared in an instant.
He was like a candle flame that had run out of oil, and seemed to have found the burning energy of his heart, and the flame that was about to be extinguished suddenly ignited at this moment.
It was full of life.
"This, this, this is a thousand-year-old jade sand! It's a thousand-year-old jade sand! ”
He cheered and jumped, and finally hugged the jade bracelet and laughed wildly.
looked at Ye Shuhua, who was also delighted on the other side, "How did you find it, where did you find it!" I didn't expect you to find it, your luck is really not ordinary! ”
Ye Shuhua was also excited, and the excitement and joy between her eyebrows and eyes were no less than his, but she still had some questions.
"Old man Sang, are you sure it's a thousand-year-old jade sand? Can it detoxify the poison in the body? ”
"Yes, I'm sure it's a thousand-year-old jade sand, this touch, taste, and color won't be bad!"
"I saw it once when I was a kid, and it was exactly like this one."
Ye Shuhua's only worry can be regarded as settled, "Old man Sang, can you detoxify Liji!" ”
Only then did the old man move his gaze to her face, looking at the beautiful and refined girl in front of him, full of expectation, and his eyes were shining.
Waiting for his answer.
His expression slowly lowered, and he sat upright, his expression becoming serious.
"There are more than a dozen kinds of poison in Liji's body, each of which is highly poisonous, and it has already penetrated into the bone and blood meridians. With the six-way acupuncture method and the thousand-year-old jade sand, he can only say that he can give it a fight, and he can't guarantee that he can be completely detoxified and saved him. ”
"And, most importantly, one more thing." Old man Sang paused, looked at her deeply, and said.
"If I start detoxifying him, once I start there are only two outcomes, life or death. Are you likely to accept this result? ”
Ye Shuhua's brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes suddenly dimmed.
Live or die?
The wind outside the window was still howling tirelessly, and several branches were broken, and the broken branches were scattered all over the courtyard.
At first glance, it is not desolate.
When Ye Shuhua returned to bed, Li Zhen woke up early.
He had recently started to be lethargic again, falling asleep day and night.
After waking up, he couldn't lift his spirit, as if sleeping was not to recharge his energy, but to consume his spirit.
Now, his legs have lost the slightest sensation, and even if he is carried by someone, he can't stand up at all.
Seeing that Ye Shuhua was coming, Jiuyu followed Ji Cui and Zhuying out of the room with interest, and closed the doors and windows intimately.
Ye Shuhua walked over in a trance as if she had lost her soul.
"Why do you look like this? Isn't that jade sand in the jade bracelet? ”
Ye Shuhua shook his head mechanically.
Sit down along the edge of the bed, clasp his hand, and hang his head as if thinking about something extraordinarily important.
His complexion was unusually painful and unsightly.
Li Zhen didn't ask any more questions, he looked at her, waiting for her to speak.
After a while, the room was quiet enough to be heard.
"Would you like to give it a try? If Old Man Sang gives you an antidote and doesn't succeed, you will die. ”
The corners of Li's lips moved slightly, and he understood, "Of course I do, no matter what, there is a half probability, isn't it?" ”
"If you don't succeed, you'll die immediately." Ye Shuhua frowned, and there was unspeakable fear in her eyes.
Died immediately, that is, neither she nor he had time to say the last word, and he didn't even have time to look at her again.
Li Zhen's eyes were exceptionally clear, he didn't think about the worst outcome, just thought that it had half a chance that it would survive, and this was already the best outcome.
"If I don't try, I'm 100% going to die."
He clasped her hand with his backhand, and the two of them interlocked their fingers.
"Relax, maybe, I'll survive in the end? Let's give it a try. ”
The prince of the second prince's mansion, Lili, almost killed the second imperial concubine and the second prince by mistake on the street, and once this matter reached the emperor's ears, the emperor was furious.
Even if he was seriously ill, he roared angrily in the court, and his deafening aura was still contaminated with the murderous aura of his early battles.
Above the main hall, there was the pressure of a mountain rain about to come, and the air pressure was so low that the civil and military officials were frightened.
They all lowered their heads, not daring to plead for the second prince.
Since the emperor was seriously ill, the emperor has become much gentler, and everything is to turn a blind eye and get by.
Even the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince secretly wooed the ministers, stirred up the court, and secretly plotted to kill the third prince and the eldest prince, he had never been so angry.
Now everyone is beginning to speculate about this second prince, who is he virtuous and how can he be, he has just been found for more than a month, and he is so favored by the emperor.
However, a small incident of misunderstanding shocked the emperor to be so angry regardless of his body.
"Your Majesty, the dog is indeed reckless, and last night the courtiers had already whipped him fifty times and taught him a hard lesson, and he had already sent people to send herbs and supplements to make amends. I also hope that the royal brother will spare him this time for the sake of Ahri's young age and ignorance. deposed him to Liyang City and exiled him to Dongzhou, this, this is really too heavy. ”
"Dongzhou is desolate, there is a perennial drought, and it is difficult for even grass to grow, so how can Ahri live when he is only twenty years old?"
The second prince knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy.
"Brother Huang, I'm just such a son, Brother Huang, you can punish him as many boards as you want, just don't exile him to Dongzhou, if he goes, he will definitely die." Ahri is dead, I, I can't live, brother. ”
The emperor listened to his words, and the fire in his lungs swelled up.
The anger did not subside, but burned even more in the heart.
"Ahem, cough, ahem......" The emperor coughed violently several times, and his face was also suffocated.
The father-in-law who was waiting on the side hurriedly took the palace maid's teacup and sent it over, and the emperor took a few sips of tea before he could be regarded as a reply.
Little by little, his face returned to a pale appearance like paper.
The father-in-law took the teacup and retreated to the original position, the emperor lowered his eyes, and the eyelashes were not covered, still cold.
After that, there was a deathly silence.
