good wife

Chapter 101 Gu Wen Poisoned (6)
Li Zheng was taken aback, and looked at Yang Qian: "Aren't you afraid that the cook will test the dishes? Maybe he will be poisoned first?"

Yang Qian lowered her eyes and smiled: "Your Highness, how could Qian'er be as stupid as you said? If he was poisoned to death first, where can we find another scapegoat?"

"Oh?" Li Zheng looked at Yang Qian with interest.This Yang Qian looks beautiful, but her mind is very vicious, very much like his noble mother and concubine!
"The cook will definitely try it first. But I ordered someone to tell him to put the seasoning last. When he tasted the food, the poison had not yet completely soaked into the meat. When he brought it to Gu Wen, the poison was gone. It was completely volatile. When the cook went to sell vegetables this morning, I ordered someone to harvest him and threw him into the moat. Presumably, General Weiyuan’s mansion has also discovered that there is a cook missing."

Li Zheng nodded.

Then Yang Qian said again: "Because of the 'freeze', Madam Su wants to save her brother, so why not listen to us obediently?"

Li Zheng also laughed a few times, secretly said, Gu Wen, don't blame me for being ruthless!Who made you and Su Wei, two stubborn old men, refuse to support me?This is what you are doing now!He turned his head and glanced at Yang Qian, but there was no smile and love in his eyes when he first saw her, only contempt and disdain!Hmph, Yang Qian, it's wishful thinking that you want to be by His Highness's side with such a lowly status!

Poor Yang Qian was still immersed in Li Zheng's tenderness just now, unable to extricate herself. She always thought that Li Zheng deliberately kept a distance from her in front of others in order to maintain the noble image of his highness, but she didn't know that Li Zheng was from He looked down on her from the bottom of his heart, just like Concubine De treated her, she was just a pawn that could be used.

From time to time, there were birds chirping and the sound of the wind gently brushing the branches outside the window, while inside the house, the man's heavy breathing and the woman's blushing moan came again.

Early the next morning, Haitang woke her up, washed up a bit, and went to the front hall.

The old man, Su Wei, Su Qing, Su Ming and Gu's were all there.Jingyi entered the front hall, greeted everyone, and then stood beside Gu.

Su Wei said: "I discussed it with my father last night. Today, Su Ming is still going to go to the study to accompany the sixth prince. Qing'er, Jingyi, you two brothers and sisters will accompany your wife to the general's mansion. If the situation is not right, we will Stay in the General's Mansion, there is no need to come back. I will report the matter of my eldest brother to the Holy Majesty today! Qing'er, the emperor will most likely send an edict to you and Gu Yan. When you arrive at the General's Mansion, tell Yan'er that the two will do it in advance This is a preparation, lest you get the imperial court, if you can’t explain clearly, you will be punished instead.”

Su Qing cupped his hands and said, "Yes, father."

Su Wei made arrangements and entered the palace.Accompanied by Jing Yi and Su Qing, Mrs. Gu went to General Weiyuan's Mansion again.

Just as Su Wei expected, the emperor issued an order to announce Su Qing and Gu Yan to enter the palace, and also sent an imperial physician to come, and bestowed a bunch of precious medicinal materials.But the imperial doctors were helpless.

Another day later, He Daozi arrived at General Weiyuan's mansion.

"Yiyi, is there a blood lotus in the general's mansion?" He Daozi asked.

"Blood lotus? Here, cousin." Jingyi looked at Gu Yan.

And Gu Yan immediately ordered someone to go to the warehouse to check.Soon, a servant reported that there was no blood lotus in the mansion.

"Master He, what is this blood lotus? Where can I find it?" Liu asked.

He Daozi's face was a little dignified, he shook his head and said, "Without blood lotus as medicine, this antidote is useless."

Jingyi explained the confusion for Liu Shi and Gu Yan: "This blood lotus is an extremely rare poison that grows in cold places, and each blood lotus only blooms one flower, which only blooms once every ten years. The flowering period is only half a month. In addition, this blood lotus has no other medicinal uses, and ordinary people do not need this kind of thing when they are sick, so this thing is extremely rare."

"Since it is a poison, why use it?" Liu asked puzzled.

Jingyi shook her head and looked at He Daozi. She had seen this thing in a book, but she didn't know how to use it.

He Daozi said slowly: "Normally 'frozen' doesn't need some things. However, General Gu's 'frozen' has added a medicine. If you want to cure this poison, you must use blood lotus as the medicine Otherwise, if he rashly uses the antidote, it will only accelerate his poisoning and cause him to die of heart failure."

"Then, where can Master go to find the blood lotus now?" Jingyi asked.

He Daozi shook his head, "This thing is a poison, so I think it will never be found in the palace. Ordinary people's homes will not have it either."

Only then did Jingyi feel the seriousness of the matter.Two days have passed, and my uncle's elbow and knee joints are already stiff, and time is running out.

In the afternoon, people were all sitting in the front hall helpless. Su Qing and Gu Yan had gone out of the house to look around, and they probably would return empty-handed.

Jingyi glanced at everyone, was startled suddenly, and asked Haitang beside her, "Where's Miss Biao?"

Haitang replied: "Just now it seems that a maid came in and whispered something in Miss Biao's ear. Miss Biao went out in a hurry."

"Oh." Jingyi nodded, not paying attention.

In the evening, Jingyi sat in her bedroom with a worried look on her face.

Suddenly, eyes dimmed, and a figure stood in front of her.

"Yuanxi, why did you come here when you have time?" Jingyi asked in surprise.Yesterday, Si Qin clearly told her that Yuan Xi had gone to Tongzhou and never returned, so why did he arrive in the capital so soon?

"Still worried about General Gu?"

Jingyi nodded, "Without the blood lotus, how can I save my uncle?"

Yuan Xi smiled brightly, "Why worry? Naturally, someone will come to your door."

"What do you mean?"

Yuan Xi poked her with his hand and said, "You! You are usually very smart, aren't you? Why didn't you wake up today? Why did that person give him 'freeze' instead of other immediately fatal poisons? "

Jingyi was taken aback for a moment, these words were so familiar!Isn't that exactly what I said that day?Jing Yi glanced at Yuan Xi, then lowered her head and thought carefully, after a while, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes became extremely clear.

"I understand. Alas! Thanks to you! I am too stupid. I can't even figure out such a simple thing." After finishing speaking, Jingyi patted her forehead with her hand, with a look of annoyance .

Seeing her appearance, Yuan Xi couldn't help laughing, "I've known you for so long, but I've never seen you like this. It really opened my eyes!"

Jingyi rolled his eyes at him, with a relaxed expression on his face, where is there any trace of worry?
"Sihua!" Jingyi called softly.Then I saw the thin Si Hua approaching from the roof.

Jingyi called her to him, whispered a few words, Na Sihua nodded frequently, and after a while, she disappeared into the night with a flash.

Seeing that she had finished giving orders, Yuan Xi smiled and said, "How is it? Is this painting satisfactory to you? If you can't use it smoothly, I'll order someone to pick some for you."
