"You said that, do you mean you don't plan to save them?" Qingcheng raised his head in surprise and looked at Xuanyuan Chengtian in surprise.
"It's not that we can't help, but that there is no cure." Xuanyuan Chengtian said bitterly, gently letting go of Qingcheng's frown and walking aside: "I think this poisoning incident happened suddenly and is very strange."
Qingcheng was startled. He didn't expect that Xuanyuan Chengtian also noticed this, and couldn't help asking: "Tell me about it."
Xuanyuan Chengtian turned his head, his brows still tangled: "It is said that the devil's flower is rare in the world. If no one comes close, it will definitely not be poisoned? Just like the last time in Lingxiao Mountain, I also touched it.
It will only be poisoned. If it is at a certain distance, it will not be poisoned at all! And this time the poisoning spreads like a plague, then someone must be responsible for it!"
"Maybe it's not devil's poison at all!" Qingcheng added thoughtfully.
"Qingcheng, I think this matter is directed at you. I can't just sit idly by. I'll go out to the palace and get to the bottom of it." Xuanyuan Chengtian suddenly turned around and looked at Qingcheng, looking very excited: "Qingcheng, I will
It doesn't make you feel at ease when you think that someone wants to harm you, I must find him out."
"I want to go too!" Qingcheng seemed to be infected by his emotions, and stood up from the swing frame and said without thinking.
"Qingcheng, is that dangerous? If someone knows that your blood is the antidote to the devil's poison, I can't imagine the consequences. When the time comes, I,,,,"
"Nothing bad, Chengtian." Qingcheng said firmly.
*********
An inconspicuous carriage drove out of the Chaoyang Palace Gate. The guard guarding the gate stopped it with a spear and stuck out a sign from the door curtain. The guard was immediately shocked when he saw it and quickly let him go.
And all of this fell into the eyes of one person. He raised a smile on his lips and turned around to leave.
A handsome, sweet and loving young couple came to the largest Jincheng Inn in the imperial capital, namely Xuanyuan Chengtian and Qingcheng.
Qingcheng lowered his head and glanced at Xuanyuan Chengtian, who had not moved away from her waist since he got off the carriage: he was the one who firmly opposed her pretending to be his Xiaosi and insisted on pretending to be a loving couple with her.
.
After Xuanyuan Chengtian asked for a room in the upper room, he hugged Qingcheng and walked up, looking at her with such doting eyes that he admired others.
At lunch time, Qingcheng rejected the waiter's offer to bring food to the room, and they decided to eat in the hotel lobby.
Looking at the few guests in the hall, Qingcheng couldn't help but ask the waiter leading the way: "I remember that Jincheng Inn is the largest and best inn in the imperial capital, and the business is very good. Why is it like this now?"
The waiter turned around and glanced at the fairy-like woman behind him: "No, as more and more people are poisoned by the devil's poison, this business will no longer be able to continue! The poisoned people are all busy looking for medical treatment.
Those who were lucky enough not to be poisoned all stayed at home and were in a daze all day, so there are still people who want to go out to eat to relieve their punishment!"
Xuanyuan Chengtian held Qingcheng's hand tightly and looked at the waiter who was smiling at Qingcheng with displeasure. Qingcheng squeezed his palm, Xuanyuan Chengtian turned around and looked at her dotingly, sweetly
laughed.
"With the appearance of the imperial capital now, I wonder if it would be convenient for us to go to Lingxiao Mountain this time?" Qingcheng asked Xuanyuan Chengtian worriedly.
Before Xuanyuan Chengtian could answer, the waiter immediately turned around nervously: "Madam, you must not go to Lingxiao Mountain at this time. I heard that the devil's poison is transmitted from there!"
"Really?" Qingcheng didn't seem to believe it: "Did you all see with your own eyes that those people were poisoned by demons?"
The waiter in the shop stopped and thought for a moment and then said: "I have never seen anyone poisoned by the devil's poison. I only heard that the poisoned person held the flowers, leaves or flower paths of the devil's flower in his hands or had something covered with it."
Those traces of tattoos!"
"Have you ever seen a large number of devil's flowers in Lingxiao Mountain before?" Qingcheng looked at the waiter and asked.
The waiter immediately shook his head when he heard this: "I have been to Lingxiao Mountain before, and I heard that there is a devil's flower, but that's just what I heard, I have never seen it before, but this time..."
Qingcheng interrupted his doubts and asked the question he wanted to know the answer to: "Are every poisoner found in the same place?"
"No!" The waiter answered with certainty.
When Qingcheng wanted to ask something else, a sad cry came from outside Jincheng Inn.
"Oh, someone has been poisoned again! There are people passing by crying almost every day these days. How pitiful!" The waiter said and couldn't help but shook his head.
"Let's go take a look!" Qingcheng pulled Xuanyuan Chengtian and immediately ran towards the inn door.
The poisoned person was lying upright, with a sallow complexion and his eyes closed tightly. In his hand, he was holding a stick of Night Demon Queen that had lost its luster and was no different from dried flowers after being picked.
Qingcheng approached and opened the poisoned man's hand, and took off the Night Demon Flower. There was actually a small and difficult-to-detect red thread wrapped around it.
"What's wrong?" Xuanyuan Chengtian asked puzzledly Qingcheng, who was holding a red silk scarf and remained silent.
Qingcheng immediately turned his head and lowered his voice and said to Xuanyuan Chengtian beside him: "He was poisoned, but he was not poisoned by the devil's poison."
"Yeah!" Xuanyuan Chengtian hummed and looked at her with a smile on his face and bright eyes.
Qingcheng looked at him puzzled, and when he lowered his head, he immediately saw that he had been holding Xuanyuan Chengtian's hand tightly, and he was swaying happily.
"Let's go see the place where the accident happened." Qingcheng said, looking away from Xuanyuan Chengtian's obsessed eyes, and pulled others to ask about the place of the accident.
*******
Qingcheng and the others did not ask about the first scene of the accident, so they did not find the location of the accident. They only found the place where the poisoned person was found. It was an ordinary place at the foot of a mountain, on the outskirts of the imperial capital, and others said it was here.
Discover him!
Qingcheng glanced around: There is no way there is a devil's flower here! Everything is as expected. The person who designed this conspiracy is not clever at all. It can even be said to be full of loopholes.
, anyone with a little bit of thought can understand it just by thinking about it. There are some flaws that seem to deliberately tell themselves that this is a conspiracy, a scam! A murderous plot directed at themselves.
But the person who designed this game is too vicious. He is using the people of the world as pawns to play a game that no one else is willing to participate in. If he wins, he can probably get rid of her! But,,,,, there are still some past events.
Qingcheng doesn't want to think about the things deep inside!
The people who know that his blood can detoxify the devil's poison may not be the ones he knows anymore! Qingcheng is a little funny: It seems that Bei Mukuang is right, only the mouths of the dead are the most tightly closed!
"Qingcheng, let's go to the government office in the imperial capital after lunch! We already have a general understanding of this matter! I want to see what measures the local government office will take!" Xuanyuan Chengtian pulled and didn't know what he was thinking, with a look on his face.
Qingcheng with a strange expression.
"Well! You might as well go and have a look!"
****
Compared with the cold Jincheng Inn, the entrance to the imperial government office was bustling with activity. Many people gathered around there, shouting loudly for the government office to remove the devil's flower and provide antidote to the poisoned people.
There was a fat official at the government office who was trying his best to explain and calm down the people who were a little excited due to fear.
Xuanyuan Chengtian pulled Qingcheng and stood behind the crowd for a moment, then separated from the crowd and walked up.
When the guard next to him saw someone approaching, he immediately came over with a spear to stop him. The fat official was startled at first, then he immediately pushed aside the guards with spears on both sides in a panic, and came forward in horror.
"Emperor..." As soon as he arrived in front of Xuanyuan Chengtian, he immediately wanted to bow down, but Qingcheng stepped forward to stop him.
He stood there in a daze, looking at Qingcheng with some confusion.
"If you don't want the emperor to take your head, it's best not to say anything." Qingcheng said in a low voice, and the fat official immediately wiped the sweat from his face with a look of panic on his face.
Xuanyuan Chengtian ignored him and walked straight inside. The fat official immediately followed behind him and went in. As he left, he couldn't forget to glance at Qingcheng, his expression was extremely surprised.
Not long after, Xuanyuan Chengtian came out, pulled Qingcheng and stood beside him.
The fat official followed Xuanyuan Chengtian out and seemed confident. He pressed his hand to the noisy crowd below: "Everyone, be quiet for a moment."
He looked at the crowd that was gradually quieting down and cleared his throat: "The imperial court takes this nationwide poisoning incident very seriously. The emperor has sent people around to look for medicine, and he already knows someone who can detoxify the poison, so don't worry! There's no need to worry.
Panic! It is best for everyone to go home and serve the poisoned person first, and wait for a while, the poison will be cured soon!"
"Can anyone really cure this poison?" Someone shouted loudly and asked. People who originally wanted to turn around couldn't help but stood there and looked up at the fat official, expecting his answer.
"Haven't you heard about this detoxifier a long time ago? She is a woman who has appeared at the border. The emperor has sent people to look for her! So everyone can go home in peace!" the fat official said, very sincerely.
"We'd better go home and wait in peace! Staying here and making trouble won't let him give us the antidote."
"That's right. Since the emperor has sent people to look for medicine, we have no choice but to go home and wait!"
The crowd below began to disperse one after another.
"Don't leave, everyone, don't be deceived by him!"
A loud cry came from below. The people who were about to leave all stopped and looked at the middle-aged man who yelled at them not to leave.
The middle-aged man turned around and immediately shook the scroll in his hand to the people who were looking back: "This is the woman who can detoxify the devil's poison. Take a look at the appearance of the woman above!"
With a "swish" sound, standing above, Qingcheng next to Xuanyuan Chengtian immediately became the focus of people's attention.
"She is the most beloved imperial concubine of the current emperor. She is the empress who charmed the emperor and prevented him from delaying the country and the country! Everyone knows this! And she is also the woman who can detoxify the devil's poison!" The middle-aged man
The more he talked, the more excited he became. He turned around and looked at Qingcheng: "She is clearly here, and she can detoxify the devil, but the government says she is still looking for her and advises everyone to go home and wait! What does this mean? Because of the detoxification.
Her blood is needed! The emperor is reluctant to part with it. He would rather all the poisoned people in the world die than abandon his beloved concubine! So he deceived everyone and asked everyone to go home and wait to die!"
