Chapter 56: A Strange Letter
Even with the use of specially cultivated carrier pigeons, Lin Zhiyu did not receive the news until the evening.
Qiaoxiu untied the red rope from the pigeon's leg and was surprised to find that there were two notes.
The top one is obviously Zhou Zijin's handwriting, revealing a warm temperament like his people, saying that when he prays for blessings tomorrow, Ji Yanshi will come with him.
On the other hand, the content is very different, and two big words are written clearly - "stupid", which makes Qiaoxiu stunned.
"Miss, don't think about it, this will definitely not be written by the prince." Qiaoxiu was dripping in cold sweat, lest Lin Zhiyu would be dissatisfied with the prince.
These two words are dancing with a wanton and chic energy, and they will not be from the same person.
This extra note out of thin air, could it be that Ji Yanshi wrote it?
Lin Zhiyu and the second monk were puzzled, and always felt that he didn't think he would do such a nonsensical thing.
The pigeon tilted its head, "cooed" twice, lowered its head and pecked at the two words, as if dissatisfied with the gratuitous extra note.
"By the way, Miss, Concubine Jia seems to be in different health, and she returned to the palace early." Qiaoxiu stretched out his hand, and the pigeon had a wing, and it flew away.
"Go back to the palace early?" Lin Zhiyu's hand for the origami note paused, and Zhuang Younan actually left ahead of schedule as if he knew that he would go to her.
What is this, a breach of contract?
If Lin Zhiyu didn't guess wrong, the prescription in Zhuang Younan's mouth should be the one in Liu Er's hand, since this prescription is part of the gambling game, why should she use this as a bet?
Lin Zhiyu felt that Zhou Zijin's evaluation of Zhuang Younan was really right.
A "fox" that seems to be not aggressive, but has a game everywhere.
……
The twists and turns of the blessing ceremony finally began.
The abbot who sang the prayers was replaced by another young monk, and everyone tacitly did not mention the previous incident.
Lin Zhiyu did not participate again, but used the excuse of being unwell to stay by Xu Jiu'er's side.
After waiting for a long time, Master Ji Yan finally arrived.
He was still dressed in white like Lin Zhiyu did when he first saw him, with a slightly impatient look in his eyes.
"The big girl is not pretending to be sick today?"
There was a bit of sarcasm in his words, but after all, he really had something to ask for today, and Lin Zhiyu had no intention of bothering with him.
"I want to come and the prince also told you, I beg you to come today, I really encountered a big thing that is vital to human life."
Lin Zhiyu turned sideways to get out of the way, and Ji Yanshi stepped in unceremoniously, just took a cursory look, and lightly spit out four words from his mouth: "The one who is about to die." ”
His voice was so low that only Lin Zhiyu could hear it.
Having said that, Ji Yanshi still took out the tools one by one from the medicine box he carried with him.
Liu Er stood to the side, her face full of exhaustion.
Last night, Liu Er kept wet Xu Jiu'er with an ice towel, and it wasn't until the early hours of the morning that her body temperature went down.
Lin Zhiyu carefully helped Xu Jiu'er up and let her lean on herself, Xu Jiu'er's right wrist was covered with a thin layer of handkerchief, and Ji Yanshi's hand was on it, carefully feeling the pulse on her fingertips.
Thanks to Liu Er's care, Xu Jiu'er's face has a little color today, and she also has the strength to speak, but the whole person is still in a daze, as if she is going to fall asleep at any time.
She quietly attached herself to Lin Zhiyu's ear, and whispered in a breathy voice: "Sister, is this the legendary medical saint?" His eyes are so good. ”
Ji Yanshi's ears moved, and he seemed to hear Xu Jiu'er's words.
In order to keep Xu Jiu'er sober, Lin Zhiyu could only talk to her without a match: "How does that compare with the emperor?" ”
Xu Jiu'er's face was red, and she didn't take it down.
After a long time, Ji Yanshi withdrew his hand, shook his head, and said, "It's too late, the toxin is already all over the body, unless the blood in the whole body is replaced, the chance is slim." ”
Liu Er sat down on the ground at once, and even the Holy Hand said this, and she felt that her hopes were dashed at once.
"But I have a way to make her die a little more comfortable now." Ji Yanshi put away the tools.
"Aren't you a medical saint, what is a comfortable death, isn't this murder?" Hearing what Ji Yanshi said, Liu Er was emotional, and was the first to jump out to oppose it, completely unwilling to face this fact.
Master Ji Yanshi ignored Liu Er at all, and said unhurriedly: "This toxin travels all over the body, and now Xiu Yuan Niangniang should have an unbearable headache, and even the wounds on her legs are festering, if you continue like this, you will only die of pain." ”
Everyone present looked at each other, only Xu Jiu'er pretended to be relaxed on the side, and squeezed Lin Zhiyu's hand: "What, I actually don't feel anything at all." ”
Master Ji Yan took out a small bottle of medicine from the medicine box and handed it to Lin Zhiyu's hand: "If you don't change the prescription without permission, there will indeed be no obvious pain." ”
Liu Er, who was still excited just now, only felt her head buzzing, the expression on her face was blank and stiff, and she muttered something in her mouth.
Ji Yanshi glanced at Liu Er lightly and stopped talking.
Just as no one was speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
Lin Zhiyu looked up and looked out, it was the imperial doctor who was in charge of taking care of Xu Jiu'er's body.
His gaze was precisely locked on Master Ji Yan, who was standing in the middle of the room, his beard trembled, but his voice was a little uncertain: "You are the medical saint who followed King Jin?" ”
Ji Yanshi frowned slightly, which could be regarded as acquiescence.
The imperial doctor took two steps forward excitedly and said, "It's such a young offspring...... It's better to see than to hear. ”
Master Ji Yan said: "If there is nothing to do, I will leave first." ”
"Don't, don't." The imperial physician stopped Ji Yanshi with a big stride, "The contemptible surname is Fang, and now I am in the position of deputy envoy of the Tai Hospital, and I have always wanted to talk to you." ”
Ji Yanshi's gaze turned around on Lin Zhiyu and Imperial Physician Fang, the curvature of the corners of his mouth had a hint of mockery, and his eyes were even more unkind: "You just lied to them because you wanted to see me, saying that I had a way to save Xu Xiuyuan's life?" ”
Careful thinking was seen through, and Doctor Fang looked embarrassed.
"This snake venom is also a lifelong research direction of mine, if I can discuss a solution, it will not be in vain for you to come here, right?"
He was vague and found himself a step down.
Ji Yanshi ignored it anymore, and went straight to the front of the room around Imperial Doctor Fang.
As soon as Imperial Physician Fang took out a slip from his hand, he looked up and saw that Master Ji Yan had already walked away, and hurriedly chased after him.
The house was quiet again.
Lin Zhiyu felt as if his heart had been pinched hard, and a glimmer of hope finally appeared, but he found that it was a scam from beginning to end, as if he was full of anticipation and was poured a basin of cold water.
"Liu'er, come here."
Xu Jiu'er raised her hand with great effort and beckoned Liu'er, who was still in a daze, to come over, "Don't blame yourself, I didn't live long in the first place." ”
Liu Er couldn't see any expression on her face, only big tears were falling, clenching her fists, and she didn't say a word.
Xu Jiu'er took a breath and smiled reluctantly:
"Sister, give me that bottle of medicine."
