Chapter 107: Drug Testing
Emperor Dongjia didn't answer, but only glanced at Shi Chen obliquely with his eyes, and the glass balls of the double dragon playing with pearls in his hand collided.
Whispers gradually came from under the banquet, but they didn't believe what Shi Chen said.
After a while, he cleared his throat, "This medicine is really as good as you say?"
Obviously, not only Emperor Dongjia, but everyone here is skeptical, if there is such a miracle medicine in the Shimmering Night Kingdom, how can they be willing to give it to others.
Shi Chen was not annoyed, he respectfully gave a salute, and then said lightly: "If there is half a lie, I will pay for it with my life today." ”
Emperor Dongjia naturally knew that he was trying to dispel everyone's doubts, and if he killed Shi Chen, it would not be a source of controversy for other countries.
As the chatter became louder and louder, Emperor Dongjia raised his arm.
In an instant, everyone retracted their curiosity and sat on the side to listen to his instructions.
"Then, hearing is false, seeing is believing, do you have the courage to test the medicine yourself?" Emperor Dongjia picked up the teacup and took a sip, already thinking of a plan in his heart.
"Listen to Your Majesty's orders. ”
Emperor Dongjia raised his chin, and the people waiting on the side understood, and hurriedly fetched a tray.
I saw that the tray was covered with black silk, and the middle protrusion was similar to the appearance of a porcelain bottle.
Around the porcelain vase, there is a trace of coldness, and at first sight, you can know that it is not ordinary.
The little eunuch holding the tray held the object in his hand high, still afraid of touching a place in the tray, and even his fingers trembled slightly.
"Your Majesty, the things have been brought. ”
Emperor Dongjia raised his eyes at this time, and on the corners of his lips, there was a hint of a smile, reflected in the beautiful moonlight, adding to the gloom.
"This is the most poisonous thing in my Dongjia country, called Xiaogusan, after taking it, it can melt away the stomach and intestines in the stomach within a moment, and then ulcerate inch by inch, and, except for the antidote in my palace, there is no other way to cure this medicine. ”
After he finished speaking, he could hear many people below gasp.
"It's actually a loose intestine, doesn't it mean that this thing didn't exist more than ten years ago?"
"I didn't expect Your Majesty to have this thing. ”
"This thing is very poisonous, I heard that someone just touched it, and cut off the whole arm, if it was a minute later, the whole life could not be saved. ”
When Emperor Dongjia heard this, the smile on his face became deeper and deeper, and the loose intestines were the secret of the royal family, and there were very few people who had really seen it, and more of them were just false rumors.
But Xiaogusan doesn't know what they say, all the people who have been poisoned by Xiaogusan have to endure a day and a night of torture before they die in pain, and even the corpse will not leave any traces.
Xu is the historian said that his medicine is too mysterious, and Emperor Dongjia made such a plan, and at that time, even if the historian died at the funeral banquet, it was just because he boasted too much at that time.
In this way, you can still get a pinch of the sharpness of a small country in the night, why not do it.
Lin Qingwan was even more shocked when he heard it, he was afraid that after a while, this historian would have to pay the price for his Haikou just now.
Emperor Dongjia spoke again, and there was no difference in his calm tone, but every word seemed to have a blade, wanting to stab into the historian's head.
"If it is really as miraculous as you say, then you can take this Xiaogusan and use the medicine you brought to solve it, which will naturally prove whether you are bragging or not. ”
"If you're really okay, I'll sign a treaty and make an alliance with you. ”
The eunuch stepped forward again and added a glass of wine for him, as if the lives of the people below were just ants on the slate, and he didn't have to care.
The princes and nobles all looked at Shi Chen with the mentality of watching a good show, and in their eyes, Shi Chen of this Shimmering Night Country was no different from a cold corpse.
But seeing that there was no fear in Shi Chen's eyes, he straightened his back, trying to make his momentum look less weak, and the eyes of the hundred and ten people stared at Shi Chen's confident and determined back, and shook his head secretly.
Why do you have to be so self-conscious, how can this strange poison of Dongjia Kingdom be easily relieved.
Shi Chen's shrewd eyes swept over everyone seated, looking at their smiling faces, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and after a while, I will let you know how powerful I am in the Night Country!
He rolled up his sleeves unhurriedly, and said again: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is willing to give it a try." ”
For a moment, the uproar filled his eardrums again.
"I really don't want to live anymore. ”
"Sure enough, it's a poor country out of the country, and it seems that this country of shimmering night is not much worse. ”
Shi Chen's fist under his sleeve clenched again, and he glanced at Emperor Dongjia, who was expressionless, "However, the minister has one more condition." ”
Emperor Dongjia felt bored, and leaned back in another position, not taking his words to heart at all, "Oh? ”
He ate the grapes handed to him, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, not bad.
"If you surrender to the intestines and disperse, and then use the medicinal materials brought by the minister to solve it, and you can still stand in front of you as usual, then please ask all the people with lofty ideals in Dongjia Kingdom to answer a small question from the minister. ”
As soon as his words fell, he heard a soft mockery around him.
"If no one can give an answer, then please send a prince to marry my Empress of the Night, so that we can ensure that we do not violate the original agreement. ”
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the lid of the teacup lifted by Dongjia Diben hit the wall of the cup heavily, and in this quiet banquet, it seemed to crash into everyone's hearts.
Anyone who is interested knows that the emperor at this time is really angry.
The concubine on the side hurriedly took off the tea cup in his palm, and picked up the silk to wipe the water stains on the corner of Dongjiadi's mouth.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry. ”
For a while, even the children who were a little noisy just now didn't dare to make a sound.
Emperor Dongjia brushed the concubine's arm, and a pair of stunning eyes officially looked at Shi Chen, who was independent under the steps, he was not a great body, and he was straight in front of him at the moment, but he couldn't find a trace of mistakes.
He squinted his eyes, thinking about why he was a little irritable in his heart, maybe it was that today's tea was a little hot, or maybe it was the incense on the concubine's body just now, he couldn't get used to it.
But I just want to use this Shi Chen to vent my anger, if there is a chance, I will kill him quickly.
Emperor Dongjia's low voice rose, he pursed his lips, and let out a slight sneer, "You really dare to speak." ”
Shi Chen didn't seem to notice the murderous intent in his tone, "Please make a decision, Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Dongjia leaned back, a trace of inexplicable mockery flowed through his dark and uncertain eyes, he didn't believe that this medicine could really be so magical.
"Okay, I'm ready, you can start testing the medicine. ”
When the little eunuch heard this, he trembled and approached Shi Chen with a tray, only to see that a dense layer of cold sweat on his side face was slowly sliding down.
Shi Chen patted him on the shoulder, almost knocking the little eunuch unconscious in front of him.
"Don't worry, I'll prove it to you now. ”
He lifted the black silk, and a white jade bottle was placed firmly in the center, although the cinnabar lid was rising, he could still feel the rolling mist inside.
Sure enough, it's a peerless poison!
This bottle is estimated to kill everyone here.
He raised his hand and was about to pick up the jade bottle, but the person next to him spoke at the right time.
"If Shi Chen himself dies here, it has nothing to do with my Dongjiaguo, it is up to you to do it. ”
Shi Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the man sitting in front of him at one end, looking at him with a playful expression, and his peach blossom eyes were clearly mocking and disdainful.
"Naturally, it is the fault of the minister, and it has nothing to do with Dongjia. ”
After speaking, he held the mouth of the bottle, and it was gentle to the touch, it seemed that there was a specific place to store it all year round, and the effect of the medicine did not leak at all.
I saw him pick up the jade bottle and take the herbs that had been prepared in his left hand.
And after seeing it with everyone, he gently opened the sealed Xiaogusan.
Those who are close to them can't help but cover their mouths and noses with their sleeves, for fear of sucking up a trace of this loose intestine in their abdomen.
The historian put his intestines to his lips, and the terrifying breath still couldn't help but make him tremble.
Emperor Dongjia nodded, motioning for him to continue.
As soon as the historian raised his head, most of his intestines were already swallowed in his mouth, and it was not as difficult to swallow as he imagined, but on the contrary, there was a hint of sweetness.
Sure enough, these harmful things have extraordinary characteristics.
Before he could take the initiative to swallow it, the loose intestines slid and flowed into his throat.
In an instant, there was an unbearable burning sensation all over the body, and I saw the historian who was originally standing suddenly fall to the ground in an extremely distorted posture.
The exclamation came from below, and the ladies wearing pearls and emeralds hid in their husbands' arms, and were secretly skimming the historian with their eyes.
Even Lin Qingwan's palms couldn't help but sweat, and it was the first time she had seen such a spicy poison.
I saw that Lu Zhao had already taken advantage of the situation to wrap his arms around Chu Fuyan, and his pretty face was discolored, all of them were frightened.
There was a fatal gasp from below, his face already purple and slowly congealing as his chest rose and fell violently.
The historian struggled to bring the herbs in his hand close and desperately stuffed them into his mouth, but nothing worked.
Emperor Dongjia waved his hand boringly, ready to have his body carried down.
But after a while, Shi Chen's face slowly returned to normal, and even his breathing gradually calmed down.
"This ...... That's impossible. ”
The big eunuch couldn't help but exclaim on the emperor's side, he has been in this palace since he was a child, and he has not seen anyone who has not taken the antidote and broken the poison of this loose intestine.
"Come on, go see him. ”
The little eunuch hurriedly ran over, and after careful inspection, he knelt down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, this person is fine." ”
Shi Chen propped up the ground, and the feeling of suffocation just now had disappeared with the effect of the herbs, except for some detachment, there was nothing abnormal.
He drank a glass of water from the little eunuch's hand, sat on the ground and breathed for a while, and when he stood up again, he was no different from an ordinary person.
If it weren't for the blood stains on the corners of his lips, no one would have guessed that he had taken the famous Dongjia Xiaogusan just now.
"Your Majesty, may I ask questions now?"
Emperor Dongjia came back from the shock, this kind of miraculous effect, if it can be used on the battlefield, his soldiers and guards, wouldn't it be equivalent to one more life.
The flesh and bones of the living and the dead are no more than that.
