Chapter Twenty-Four: The Heart Is Troubled
As soon as Shui Xinying came back from Tianmu Lake, she was called by Xue Youyou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Xinying, as a teacher, I want to enter the palace to see the emperor today, and everything here will be handed over to you to be responsible. Although this place is hidden, it is also necessary to beware of Xiao Yu's accomplices coming to rescue people. Also, don't let the people in the Loyalty League approach here, so as not to be noticed by Zuo Yusong about Xiao Yu's arrest. ”
"Yes, Master. However, today is the fifth day of the lunar month, and it is the period when the helmsmen of the Loyalty League come to report on the affairs of the rudder. ”
Xue Youyou only then remembered that there was another such important matter, and after thinking about it for a while, she said, "It's okay, you can go and listen to it on behalf of the teacher." As for Zuo Yusong, you tell him that this seat and Master Huinian have something important to go to the palace to see him. Presumably, he had heard about what happened in Jishi Temple at this moment, and knew that I entered the palace with Huinian, so he would not have any doubts. ”
Shui Xinying was stunned when she heard this, "Master, do you want to let Master Huinian leave? If he tells the emperor about the murder we broke into the temple yesterday, wouldn't it be very dangerous for you, Master?"
Xue Youyou smiled and shook her head, "I will tell you more about this in the future, you can relax, look at Xiao Yu's little slippery head for me, and then slowly interrogate him after I come back from the palace." ”
Suddenly, Shui Xinying faintly felt that something was wrong, and it seemed that in just one night, something had happened that she didn't know. So she asked tentatively, "It's just that this Xiao Yu looks extremely difficult to deal with, I don't know if the master can make him speak?"
Xue Youyou couldn't help frowning, "It's not difficult to get him to speak, in fact, he already spoke last night, it's just- it's just that what gives me a headache is, how to solve the antidote?"
Shui Xinying was secretly frightened when she heard this, so she asked more carefully: "Is Master talking about the antidote to the Jinsan?" Xiao Yu didn't get the Jinsan like Master Huinian, and I still have a few antidote to the Jinsan-"
Xue Youyou glanced at Shui Xinying, and said with a little annoyance: "What's the use of the antidote to the gold dispersion! What the teacher needs is the antidote to the Endless Pill." Last night, the Zheng Yong beside the emperor suddenly came and gave me an Endless Pill, wanting me to use it to force Master Huinian to ask about an old thing ten years ago. This is exactly what I want, so I used this Endless Pill on Xiao Yu's body-"
"What?!" Shui Xinying couldn't help but exclaim, and when she came back to her senses, she barely showed a disguised smile, "That--that master must have learned everything from Xiao Yu's mouth--this is really great news! I don't know if he can tell where his master Xiao Tianjue is hiding?"
Xue Youyou was still struggling with the antidote at the moment, but she didn't pay much attention to the slight gaffe shown by Shui Xinying, and just replied casually: "Xiao Yu doesn't know Xiao Tianjue's whereabouts. However, he told the secret of the Tibetan Stream Valley ten years ago, which temporarily solved a problem for the teacher. ”
Shui Xinying couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief and asked, "Since Xiao Yu has already confessed, why does Master continue to interrogate him? Could it be that Master suspects that what he said is untrue?"
"The poison of the Endless Pill, so far no one in this world can resist it, how can Xiao Yu's sick son be an exception? It's just that last night's time was too hasty, and I didn't have time to let him tell him the whole story of that old case thirty-two years ago. Tonight, after he confesses the full truth, I will personally go to Emperor Ming to overturn the case for King Yong, and at the same time issue a sea fishing document to arrest Haoxing Xiaoyu in Dayu. At that time, even if he incarnates ten more Xiao Tianjue, I will definitely let him taste the greatness of this world, but there is nowhere to escape!"
"Then Master, what do you mean by the antidote you just mentioned? Could it be that when Zheng Yong gave you the Endless Pill, he didn't give you its antidote with you?"
Xue Youyou snorted coldly and said, "How can that traitorous eunuch be easy to deal with! He asked me to exchange the secret of the Tibetan Stream Valley for the antidote, but in fact he made a trap to harm me and Huinian! Fortunately, the teacher woke up as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble for no reason. It's just that in this way, Zheng Yong must not easily hand over the antidote to the Endless Pill, and I'm afraid that I will have to break my promise to Xiao Yu's kid. ”
"If you tell Zheng Yong that you have captured Xiao Yu and want to use the Endless Pill to ask him about Xiao Tianjue's whereabouts, will he promise to give you the antidote?"
Xue Youyou shook her head and said: "This method is absolutely impossible! You still don't know that the so-called secret of the Tibetan Stream Valley is actually the secret of Xiao Yu's life experience, and he is actually a hidden clansman. If I let the emperor know that Xiao Yu has fallen into my hands, he will immediately send someone to arrest Xiao Yu and put him to death. Although Xiao Yu's kid is hateful, he is not very evil, if he dies like this at a young age, it is a pity!"
"But after all, he is a hermit, don't you also think that the hermit is an evil clan?"
"The Yin clan is indeed an evil clan, otherwise they would not have used evil methods to confuse King Yong, let him disobey the holy order and return to Beijing privately, and coerce him to break into the palace and plot rebellion. However, not all of them are evildoers, and there are some good and innocent people like King Yong. Therefore, I do not agree with the emperor's will to deal with the hermit, presumably the emperor is also because of the matter of the Yongwang back then, so he hates the hermit so much, so that he applies this strict law. If I can find out the truth about the rebellion of King Yong back then, I may be able to find a way out for the Yin people in Dayu. ”
"But if you can't solve Xiao Yu's Endless Pill poison, he won't have any way to live! I heard that no one who has been hit by the Endless Pill can survive three days. ”
Speaking of this, Shui Xinying couldn't help but sigh, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Xiao Yu in her heart.
Xue Youyou also sighed, "If it were someone else, I could still take the antidote away." But to deal with that Zheng Yong, I really don't have absolute certainty, let alone an emperor behind him. ”
Shui Xinying was already in chaos at this time, she really didn't expect that after only one night, things would have been so bad! If she couldn't get the antidote to the Endless Pill, even if they rescued Xiao Yu, what was the use?! Could it be that he would be tortured by the Endless Pill every day from now on? If Haoxing Mingrui saw his loved ones suffering like this, he would definitely hate his master to death, and at that time, wouldn't the resentment between them be even more layered?!
"By the way, Xinying, Xiao Yu's kid had already expected that the teacher would probably not be able to get the antidote to the Endless Pill, although he made a nonchalant appearance at the time, but the teacher was still afraid that he would make a heart, so he found a short-term opinion. Therefore, you must send more people to keep an eye on him, and you must be careful, and never provoke him again, so that he will do anything irreparable under impulse. ”
"Yes, Master. But yesterday, when you first caught him, you commanded him not to be given water or food, and to starve him for three days—"
Xue Youyou waved his hand and said: "Forget it, the poison of this Endless Pill is too strong, with his weak body, I am afraid that he will not survive for a few days, and there is no need to use any other means on him." You have him brought some water and food, and his eyes cannot see, and if he has no trouble eating, you can have him fed, and in any case, let him live through the night. ”
"I will command it. Shui Xinying immediately gave a salute and retired.
After instructing the two female disciples to prepare water and food, Shui Xinying returned to her room. She stood in front of the window, looking in the direction of Tianmu Lake, and for a while she only felt like a numb heart.
Should he go back to the tea shop right now, inform Haoxing Mingrui of the news that the master is about to enter the palace, and ask him to come and rescue Xiao Yu today? Also, should you also tell him about Xiao Yu's poison of the Endless Pill? In this way, he will definitely hesitate, if the master takes back the antidote, and Xiao Yu is rescued by him, won't it hurt Xiao Yu? But if they don't save it, Xiao Yu will tell the truth of that old case tonight, since they would rather die to hide this matter from their master, then this matter must be very important, and it must not be leaked for half a point.
In addition, there is another thing to consider is that in an hour, the leaders of the Loyal Alliance will begin to discuss in the main hall, and the Master has ordered her to attend. If she set off to see Mingrui at the tea shop at this moment, she would definitely not be able to come back within an hour, and then she would definitely cause the dissatisfaction and even suspicion of Zuo Yusong, the deputy leader of the alliance, and she would not be able to explain to the master afterwards.
Faced with so many difficult things to solve, she couldn't think of what to do for a while.
Just as she was worried, a female disciple brought in the prepared meal. Shui Xinying wanted to tell her to bring the food to Xiao Yu, but she suddenly changed her mind, stepped forward to take the food box, and then went out of the room and walked towards the secret room where Xiao Yu was held.
