The sachet was something she had casually placed in her makeup package, and somehow it appeared in his hand.
She had just woken up, and now she had very little strength. When she reached out to pick up the sachet, she subconsciously touched his arm. Although there were several layers of clothing between them, she could still feel the cold, iron touch under the thin clothing.
.
Her eyes suddenly became clear. She turned over the sachet in her hand and looked at it. If she didn't see anything strange, she asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with this thing? I remember you asked this question before."
He was silent for a moment and said casually, "I have seen something very similar to it. The owner of that thing has some connections with me. I have been looking for him, but I have never found any results."
In other words, since he escaped during the assassination, he has not been seen again. I don't know whether he wandered into the deep mountains and forests of Wu State, or whether he escaped back to Hu Di.
His eyes were dark as he looked into hers.
Ruan Yuyi had just woken up, and her voice was as soft as a warbler, "Who is that, Your Highness?" On her face, she didn't seem to think it was an important matter, but she asked cautiously.
He did not tell her the truth, but pretended to be casual and said, "He is an old friend." He could be called an "old friend" with a blood feud for himself and the country.
If it hadn't been for the appearance of this nonsense doctor, the poison they quenched on the arrows would not have been released.
If the poison is not released, they will undoubtedly win with an overwhelming advantage, and they will not cause unnecessary casualties, not only to his lieutenants, but also to Dawu's tens of thousands of soldiers.
Thinking of this, his eyes seemed to be stained with blood, and dark waves surged.
She had been paying attention to his expression, hoping to know the truth of his words.
After all, when he gave her the medicine bag, the man looked panicked and was being chased. If she accidentally revealed any information and caused any trouble to others, it would be her fault.
This medicine bag was given to her by the man in order to thank her for saving her life. The man also boasted that the medicinal powder inside could cure hundreds of poisons.
She didn't believe it at first, but then she used this medicine to feed people who were poisoned, and it did work.
A few years ago, she came to Beijing to visit her brother.
When the carriage arrived at the market, she saw that Shenjing was really lively and completely different from the style of Wuzhou. She was very interested and quietly opened a corner of the curtain to look outside.
Suddenly I saw a person in the crowd pushing aside the crowd and walking through, looking panicked.
She was feeling strange in her heart, but she met the man's eyes. Her heart beat like a drum, and she hurriedly put down the curtain, not wanting the man to get into the carriage while the carriage was moving.
She and Mu Xiang were shocked and quickly got out of the carriage.
This strange man stuck his head out, his eyes were clear and deep, and he explained in a stumbling manner that he was a doctor, but he had no choice but to practice medicine and it was easy to make enemies. Now he was being hunted by his enemies, so he asked the girl to borrow a place to hide.
His accent sounded awkward, and he didn't sound like a local. But his words were sincere, and his demeanor didn't seem to be fake.
Ruan Yuyi was soft-hearted and could not bear to see a living person who would die in front of her eyes the next moment, so she agreed and asked the driver to continue moving forward to cover up the situation.
That's when she got this sachet. To this day, she has only taken it twice, and she has never used it on herself. She just uses it as an ordinary sachet to match her clothes.
In order to prevent him from further searching for the truth, she couldn't resist and said something to others, so she took the initiative and said, "If Your Highness sees something and misses someone else, it's okay to take this sachet, but please don't take away all the contents."
.”
I thought it wouldn't matter if I gave him an ordinary medicine bag.
But the intrigues in the palace made her have to worry. Maybe it would be safer to keep some of this medicine with her.
Jiang Huaiyang watched Mu Xiang take out the oil paper, poured out most of the dark brown medicinal powder inside, folded it, and thanked him. He asked Dr. Ning to identify it. He probably didn't need so much, and only these were enough.
His expression was as calm as ever, but in his eyes as cold as a cold pool, there were hidden waves and undercurrents under the ice.
Jiang Huaiyang brought the sachet back to the palace, and was immediately sent to the Imperial Hospital.
Just after he looked through a small stack of memorials, someone summoned Dr. Ning to ask for a visit. The pen in his hand paused and he said, "Xuan."
In the main hall, under the bright lights, Imperial Physician Ning knelt on his knees, raised the sachet above his head, took it back from Wen Zhi, and handed it over to Jiang Huaiyang. The hibiscus that would never wither had fine stitches and magnificent color, under the candlelight
Against the background, he actually showed a bit of anger and beauty.
Ning He had been sweating since he came in. He told the story of the medicinal powder in a trembling voice. After a few words, he felt his throat was dry.
Unable to wait for His Majesty's response, there was an eerie silence in the huge palace, and he did not dare to raise his head.
After listening to Ning He's words, Jiang Huaiyang said coldly, "Ai Qing's words are true?" He felt his breathing became heavy, and the little lady's smile and the dark brown Hu Yao appeared alternately in front of him.
"If you discover a miscarriage of justice in the future, you can take the punishment yourself."
"Don't dare to lie!" Imperial Physician Ning once traveled west with the army and specialized in providing healing services to the soldiers, so he knew what this meant.
Dr. Hu, who prepared this medicine, had great medical skills and caused quite a stir among medical practitioners at the time. Even if other doctors might have mistakenly identified it, this was not the case.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Jiang Huaiyang clenched the sachet in his hand. The soft material was wrinkled in his palm, and the corner of the hibiscus was also retracted into the folds, as if it was withered.
He clenched his fingertips until they turned white and no blood remained.
The sticky smell of blood in his breath seemed to have not dissipated, and the yellow sand was everywhere. The roars of the homesick soldiers, the hiss of arrows passing through the flesh, and even worse, some of them had no time to scream and were killed by a burst of blood.
The arrow pierced the throat.
His hands trembled slightly, his fingertips pinched into the palm of his hand unconsciously, and he didn't notice the blood seeping out.
Had it not been for the intervention of Dr. Hu, Dawu would not have suffered such heavy casualties, and his capable lieutenant would have had the opportunity to return home to visit the little sister he missed so much.
He thought about that time when someone went to assassinate Dr. Hu, but suddenly no one was seen. At that time, a carriage passing by the palace was passing by the market, and he heard that it was filled with female relatives. The guards were not allowed to enter without permission, so he thought that Dr. Hu would not be able to pass the palace.
The people's chariots and carriages were just finished.
Later, when he returned to the palace to report, he once mentioned this matter.
Now that I think about it, there are many doubts. There was nowhere to hide at that time. The guards thought that Doctor Hu was in a hurry to run for his life. He was walking very fast and was already in front. How can anyone in the world disappear out of thin air? The only way is to miss it.
That's all.
If Dr. Hu had been caught that time, he would not have had the life to detoxify the poison they had quenched on the arrows.
Wen Zhi saw His Majesty's face darkening little by little and did not dare to say anything.
This matter has always been a source of frustration for His Majesty. Many years have passed, and although he has not mentioned it, Lieutenant General Yuan also died in that bitter battle. He and Your Majesty were close friends, but Your Majesty has always been worried about it.
Now that old grudges are brought up again, it is inevitable that the tight string of reason will be broken.
Jiang Huaiyang's eyes were filled with evil thoughts, and the brocade sachet in his hand seemed to be crushed to pieces.
I thought that the little lady would blush with a little teasing. She was an innocent person, but she had protected foreign enemies. All the bad consequences seemed to be because she helped Dr. Hu escape from the guards, and it seemed that she could be blamed.
But she happened to get in front of him and asked for his protection. Now that he thought about it, he didn't know where she got the courage.
After all, the incident had long since passed and had been gathering dust in his heart for a long time. Even he himself couldn't tell whether he felt more guilty toward the lieutenant or resented her more.
Moreover, if we really calculate it carefully, she has not violated the express laws of Dawu, even he could not find a valid reason to impose the crime and punishment.
He took a breath, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
Ning He suddenly felt his hair stand on end. He knew that His Majesty was extremely angry. He didn't know who had given this sachet to him, so he actually brought Hu medicine to His Majesty. This was not asking for death.
Wen Zhi, who was standing beside him, felt his heart skip a beat. Imperial Physician Ning didn't know the origin of this sachet, but he knew it.
He handed it to Imperial Physician Ning. Ning He understood and took the Shuhen ointment from the palace to treat Jiang Huaiyang's injuries.
Only then did Jiang Huaiyang notice the blood stains on his palms, with a cold expression on his face, he withdrew his hand, "No, just step back."
