Chapter 137: Suspicion arises
"It's not a big deal, it's just that I just came back from Jiangnan some time ago, and I'm always a little uncomfortable, so I want to find some herbs to condition my body."
Qin Mu replied calmly, glanced at the herb shop carefully, and then continued to explain: "I knew that the water town in the south of the Yangtze River would make people forget to return, but I didn't expect to use this method to make me remember it. ”
After saying that, he raised his hand a little helplessly and showed Dou Lianyi the back of his hand.
Looking at the dense red rash on the back of Qin Mu's hand, Dou Lianyi couldn't help but sympathize: "Is this moisture entering the body? How many days has Qin Gongzi been in Jiangnan this time, how can it be so serious? ”
"I can't help it."
Qin Mu smiled gently, maybe he didn't find the medicinal materials he wanted in the herb shop, so he turned his head and said to Dou Lianyi: "Miss Dou, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, and I'll see you next time." ”
Hearing this, Dou Lianyi didn't want to say anything more, nodded his head, and responded: "Gongzi Qin, take care of your body." ”
Seeing Qin Mu turn around and leave in a dashing manner, Dou Lianyi didn't think much about it, and was about to go to the weapons shop next door to see if there were any new weapons, and when he bought them back for Fu Qing, the shopkeeper of the herb shop ran out panting with a large handful of herbs in his hand.
"Boss Qin, the herbs you want just happen to be in stock, take a look, hey, where are the people?"
The shopkeeper stood at the door of the shop and looked left and right, but he didn't see Qin Mu's figure, he was a little confused, and couldn't help muttering: "Why did you suddenly disappear, you had to be so anxious just now." ”
"Are these herbs all for Gongzi Qin?"
It just so happened that Dou Lianyi hadn't walked away yet, and after hearing this muttering, he stopped and asked subconsciously.
"Yes, what's the matter, do you know Boss Qin with this girl?"
"Yes, if the shopkeeper doesn't mind, I can bring these herbs to Qin Gongzi, and I will pay back the amount of money."
After hearing this, the shopkeeper glanced at Dou Lianyi and found that she was dressed extraordinarily, and her conversation was gentle and elegant, but after hesitating for a while, she still refused politely.
"This girl, these herbs are very valuable, and the other is not ordinary medicinal materials, it can be regarded as Boss Qin's luck to be able to find them, if you lose these, it will be difficult to find them, please forgive me."
"That being the case, then I don't know if the shopkeeper can show me these herbs, maybe there will be one in my house," Seeing this, Dou Lianyi still pleaded sincerely: "After all, Gongzi Qin can be regarded as having a friendship with me, and it would be best if he could help him." ”
"That's okay, the girl is a person who values affection, and it's hard for me to refuse."
The shopkeeper thought about it, and carefully handed over the herbs in his arms to Dou Lianyi for identification.
It's okay not to look at this, but at first glance, Dou Lianyi was shocked in his heart.
Why aren't these herbs used to treat dampness and heat in the body?
On the contrary, it heals external wounds, especially bleeding wounds that cannot be stopped, and there is also a medicine used to detoxify snake venom.
"Qin Gongzi, this is a symptom of poisoning and injury?"
Dou Lianyi asked subconsciously while returning the herbs to the shopkeeper.
"Yes, didn't Boss Qin tell the girl?"
The shopkeeper also looked puzzled, he took the herbs, and kindly reminded: "Although these herbs can be relieved, but they are only a symptom but not a cure, if you fail to find the antidote in time, I am afraid that Boss Qin's injuries will only get more and more serious, especially in winter, the pain of the wound will be more unbearable than before." ”
"Is his poison serious? Shopkeeper, do you know when the poison started? ”
"I don't know about this," the shopkeeper shook his head, and said honestly: "Anyway, Boss Qin just said that he wanted these herbs, and the others were deduced by me, girl, don't you have a relationship with Boss Qin, you can just ask Boss Qin directly." ”
Having said that, Dou Lianyi also knew that according to Qin Mu's temperament, if it was something he didn't want to say, no matter how she asked, she couldn't ask what it was.
"Thank you, shopkeeper."
After Dou Lianyi pondered for a while, he didn't delay the shopkeeper's time any longer, but after saying thank you, he turned around and walked to the weapons shop next door with some absent-mindedness.
When she returned home, Dou Lianyi asked Yuzhu to take the selected weapons to Fu Qing, while she went back to the house and turned out all the medical books and ancient books, rummaging through them line by line, and finally she found the symptoms corresponding to those herbs.
However, the more I looked at those symptoms, the more suspicious Dou Lianyi became.
How could she feel a little déjà vu.
Moreover, Duan Wuyi had just been injured in the palace to save her, and Qin Mu outside the palace needed to purchase a large number of herbs to stop bleeding and detoxify, which was a bit strange no matter how you thought about it.
"Young lady, the rose soup is here."
At this moment, Bai Zhi walked in with a bowl of red and bright rose soup and placed it in front of Dou Lianyi.
The red color made Dou Lianyi have a flash of inspiration, and she muttered to herself in a low voice: "Duan Wuyi, it's him!" ”
"What wine?"
Bai Zhi didn't hear clearly, and asked suspiciously, "What other wine does the young lady want to eat?" Osmanthus wine, or pine nut wine? ”
"No, Bai Zhi, do you think there will be two people in the world who are exactly the same poison?"
"Yes," Bai Zhi replied truthfully, although she was a little unsure, "But unless it is poisoned at the same time, otherwise this poison must be deep and shallow, and it cannot be exactly the same." ”
"How can it be poisoned at the same time, the two of them have nothing to do with each other at all, but why is it such a coincidence......
They can't be the same person, right?
Dou Lianyi was inexplicably amused by her own guess, one was a merchant running all over the world, and the other was the head of Dongchang guarding the imperial city, how could she have such a ridiculous guess.
"What are you muttering, young lady?"
Bai Zhi on the side saw Dou Lianyi's brows furrowed and loosened, loosened and wrinkled, repeated several times, she couldn't help but be a little confused.
"It's nothing," Dou Lianyi raised his eyes and smiled at Bai Zhi with relief, and changed the subject: "By the way, after those weapons and jade bamboos were sent over, did Fu Qing like them?" ”
"Young Master Fu Qing likes it so much, and said that he will take it to his master to see."
"If you like it, it's fine."
Dou Lianyi nodded with satisfaction, picked up the silver spoon and began to drink the rose soup.
The next time she saw Qin Mu, she would test a few more words, if they were really the same person, they would definitely show their feet.
Since holding this thought, Dou Lianyi has ordered people to keep an eye on all the herb shops in the capital, even those medicine farmers who go up the mountain to collect medicinal herbs.
Once Qin Mu wanted to buy medicinal herbs from them, she would pay double the price in exchange for information on his condition.
I waited for five days, and finally waited for her news.
