After the divorce, the queen mother was pampered by powerful ministers

Chapter 89 The Nine Kites Tree

The old man finally stopped in front of a picture, and looked at the content of the painting carefully, "Madam, where did this painting come from?"

Su Wunian's eyes fell on the painting, her distinct eyelashes trembled slightly, and the painting was a picture of killing the enemy on the battlefield.The red sun is shining brightly, and the backs of the soldiers in silver armor fighting bloody in the rolling sand are very similar to their father and younger brothers.The environment in the painting is similar to Wangchuan Hill, but different.

The brushwork of the painter does not seem to come from the hands of the elder brother.

Zhang Zhixiu thought about it, frowned and asked, "Is there something wrong with this painting?"

The old man put his face close to the painting, sniffed it with his nose, turned to Wang Yanyi and said, "I heard that the young man has a good sense of smell, and he can recognize people by smelling fragrance. Would you like to smell it?"

"How do you know, Langzhong?" Wang Yanyi was puzzled. Not many people knew about his unusually sensitive sense of smell.

The old man glanced at Su Wunian, "Miss Shen mentioned it to the old man."

Suddenly being called by name, Su Wunian's face was expressionless, so she could only respond: "Well, I heard from my cousin that I mentioned it to Lang Zhong before." Su Wunian did hear Wang Miaoyan mention it, but she never told it. Pass Chu Muchen.

Wang Yanyi looked at Wang Miaoyan, who had an oval face and eyes like black jewels. Wang Miaoyan narrowed her eyes with a smile, "My cousin and I did mention this matter."

He asked again: "Lang Zhong, is there something wrong with that painting?"

"You won't be sure until the young man has heard it." The old man replied with a vicissitudes of life.

Wang Yanyi put his nose close to the painting, sniffed it, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, and said: "There is a fragrance of bamboo and acacia, and there is a very faint smell of blood mixed with cinnabar."

"The smell of blood?" Su Wunian asked in confusion, "Why is there a smell of blood?"

"The blood on this painting is all blood mixed with cinnabar, and there is also..." Wang Yanyi put his nose close to the blood on the painting, "There is a sour smell that is extremely difficult to smell."

The old man turned his head to Zhang Zhixiu and said, "Madam, please send someone to fetch another bowl of clean water."

"Okay." Zhang Zhixiu raised his eyes, and the capable old woman went out of the house to fetch water.

"This painting was hung in the room a year ago. Because it was too bloody, the prince usually put it away. I don't know what happened recently. He often took it out to look at it. Standing in front of the painting, looking at the characters on the painting Trance."

"When it comes to where this painting came from, I can't remember clearly."

The old doctor took down the painting, put it on the desk, and carefully scratched the place where the cinnabar was painted on the painting with a silver needle. The old mother brought a bowl of water, and the old doctor poured the scraped red powder into the water.

Stir with a silver needle, and the clear water immediately turns light pink, which becomes darker and darker, and finally turns dark red. When the silver needle is picked up, the tip of the needle is already black.

Zhang Zhixiu widened his eyes in shock, "This painting is poisonous!"

"Who is going to poison our prince?" As she spoke, the corners of her eyes began to rosy again, with tears in her eyes, she seemed to think of something, "By the way, I remembered, the prince was seriously injured a year ago, and many people came to visit and give gifts .”

"Probably, this painting appeared in the prince's room after that. Let me check the gift list, and maybe I will know who sent this painting." Then I told the old mother to send it Find last year's gift list.

"Lang Zhong, since you know that your cousin is poisoned, is there a way to detoxify?" Su Wunian asked.

"This poison is a chronic poison. It invades the king's body day after day, spreading inch by inch to the internal organs, and the toxicity has been hidden in the body without being noticed. Unless there is a trigger to induce him to develop the poison, it will not be poisoned. Out of control."

"At present, this introduction has not been found. Only by finding the introduction can we prescribe the right medicine, otherwise it will be useless."

"Who on earth is thinking so viciously? Trying everything to poison the lord?" Zhang Zhixiu looked at the king who was still unconscious on the bed, and began to cry again, "Our lord has a gentle temper and never has any grudges with others."

Su Wunian remembered that Zhang Zhixiu said that every time the eldest brother recovered from illness, he would go out for a walk, and later in the room, he would relapse.Occasionally, when the window was opened, Su Wunian set her gaze on the window lattice, which was closed tightly at the moment.

The old man seemed to be aware of this, and after meeting Su Wunian's eyes, he walked slowly to the window, "Madam, I wonder which window the king of Zhen opens every time?"

Zhang Zhixiu raised her handkerchief to touch the remaining tears in the corner of her eyes, walked forward, and pointed to one of the windows, "Because this window is far away from the bed, it is usually the one that is open."

And that window happened to be not far from where the painting was hung before.

The old doctor slowly opened the window, and what came into view was a lush nine-kite tree, which was blue all year round. Only in the early spring, new purple-blue leaves would be drawn out. The leaves curled up to nine pieces, shaped like Exactly like iris.

A gust of cool wind swept in from the window, lifting the old man's gray hair. At the same time, Wang Yanyi's nose wafted a faint fragrance, "What kind of tree is this?"

Su Wunian replied almost subconsciously, "Nine kite trees." After the battle of Wangchuanqiu, her eldest brother broke a leg. In order to give him the will to live, she ordered someone to bring a small tree from Wangchuanqiu. The sapling came back and planted it in the yard with him.

The Nine-Kite Tree represents hope regained after despair, and it also means missing relatives. According to legend, the souls of relatives who cannot return to their roots after death will perch on the Nine-Kite Tree and accompany the living to go on.

"The fragrance is elegant and very special."

"The fragrance of the Nine-Kite Tree is the inducement to induce the poison in King Zhen's body." The old man looked at the Nine-Kite Tree outside the window and said calmly.

"How would the poisoner know that there is a tree in the prince's backyard?" Zhang Zhixiu asked with a frown.

At this time, the old lady came in with a dusty booklet in her hand, and presented it to Zhang Zhixiu with both hands, "Ma'am, find the list of gifts given by various prefectures last year."

Zhang Zhixiu opened the booklet, pointing to the pages one by one, "Last year, someone did send a painting, but it was the waterscape of Lizhou."

The word "Lizhou" seemed so harsh, Su Wunian asked lightly, "Who sent it?"

"It was sent by Lord Zhou."

A gleam of coldness flashed across Su Wunian's aura-ridden eyes, and it really had something to do with the Zhouhou Mansion!

"However, it was not this painting that Zhou Houye gave. You only have to wait for the prince to wake up and ask him personally who gave this painting."

"Langzhong, now that you have found the introduction, can you detoxify and treat the prince so that he can recover soon."

"Even if the introduction is found and the poison on his body is detoxified, it may not be cured, and it is not even known whether he will wake up." The old man said calmly.

"But hasn't the poison in the prince's body been cured?" Zhang Zhixiu was puzzled.

"The poison can be detoxified, but the poison spreads to the internal organs inch by inch, hurting the inside, and the poison can only be detoxified little by little, so don't act too hastily. Otherwise, the king's body may not be able to bear it."

"Then, how long will it take for the prince to wake up?"
