"General Mu? This all happened twenty years ago and is no longer known. I just heard that no one sent out to search for the ancient Loulan Kingdom came back alive. If General Mu goes, I'm afraid..." Long
Chen Yi, the head of the house, looked at Mu Tianxue in his arms and asked puzzledly: "Do you suspect that General Mu has ever gone to find the ancient country of Loulan?"
"I just asked on a whim." Mu Tianxue smiled faintly and thought to herself that Loulan is in the desert area. It should be dry and the temperature is high and it belongs to the tropics. An idea flashed in her mind and she hurriedly asked: "Loulan
How far is the desert in the ancient country from the imperial dynasty?"
"It's a long journey. If you ride a horse day and night, it will take at least a few months. If a sweaty horse travels thousands of miles a day and 800 miles at night, and keeps driving without sleep, it will take at least a month." Long Chen also looked at Mu Tianxue in confusion.
, couldn’t she want to go?
"One month..." Mu Tianxue frowned slightly and lowered his eyes, recalling the surprised look and disbelieving reaction on her face when she said the red bamboo stalk grass, as well as the time limit he gave, could it be that he
yes……?
"Xue'er, what's wrong with you? Are you starting to feel uncomfortable?" Seeing Mu Tianxue's beautiful eyebrows furrowed, Long Chen also trembled in his heart, took out the white jade bottle, poured out the Qixiang Detoxification Pill, and brought it to Mu Tianxue's mouth.
, "Take the Qixiang Jiedu Pill quickly."
"I'm fine..." Mu Tianxue opened his mouth, took the red Qixiang Detoxification Pill, swallowed it fiercely, looked at Long Chen and said: "I want to go back to the General's Mansion, and I will go back now.
"
"What's the matter, I have to go back. You can't go anywhere now, you can only lie on the couch and have a good rest." Long Chenyi frowned deeply, put down the white jade bottle, put his arms around Mu Tianxue, and said, "You need
What? Or what do you want to know? Tell your husband and he will order someone to handle it. Your husband will not allow you to go out again."
"This matter can only be done by myself." Mu Tianxue struggled to get up from the bed. She had to go back to her mother's southeast courtyard and search carefully. Maybe, it was possible, there really was something, and she said
Not sure, it's better to give it a try than to lie here and do nothing.
"If you must go back, I will go back with you as my husband." Seeing that he could not persuade her, Long Chen had no choice but to compromise. After ordering someone to wash Mu Tianxue, he put a cloak on her and held her in his arms.
From the back door of the palace, he rushed towards the general's palace.
Because they could not alert the emperor's spies who were lurking outside Prince Chen's mansion, the two of them could only go out through the back door and enter the general's mansion. They also entered the mansion through the backyard where Mu Tianxue lived before.
At this time, the sky was dark and it was drizzling with mist. The general's mansion was very quiet. Long Chen also hugged Mu Tianxue and followed her instructions and ran all the way to the southeast courtyard quickly.
I didn't meet anyone along the way. No one lived in the southeast courtyard, so no one would show up in the southeast courtyard, and I wasn't afraid that someone would see the two of them.
"Let me down quickly." After arriving in the east and west courtyards, Mu Tianxue glanced at the barren grass and trees in the yard and said, "Look for a grass with red-green leaves and slender rhizomes that reach below the knees. Find
Finally, don’t touch it easily, tell me first.”
After hearing what Mu Tianxue said, Long Chen put down her grass. Seeing her anxious look, he didn't ask any more questions. He thought that grass must be related to removing the poison from her body, so he searched carefully in the yard.
Mu Tianxue also hurriedly found the corner of the yard, and opened his eyes to see the color and shape of each grass. In this way, the two of them searched every corner of the yard, especially around the trees, because that was
Planting grass mostly grows around the roots of trees whose throats are covered with blood.
The two of them searched the yard for half an hour, but they couldn't find the tree with its throat blocked by blood, let alone the grass she needed. Mu Tianxue looked at the yard they had searched, sighed in disappointment, and raised his head
His feet angrily kicked towards the grass in front of him.
"Ah..." Mu Tianxue screamed softly in pain and quickly retracted her kicked foot. Just as she kicked her foot out angrily, her toe hit something hard, causing her toe to break.
feeling of pain.
"How are you? Are you okay!" Long Chen also rushed to Mu Tianxue's side, his eyes full of worry and said: "Go to the room to hide from the rain, and come to find your husband. The rain is getting heavier and heavier, your
My body cannot withstand the wind and rain."
Mu Tianxue didn't seem to hear what he said. She looked at the place where she kicked just now. Then she squatted down and pushed the grass away from its roots. Only then did she see clearly what the hard thing she kicked was.
It turned out to be a tree stump cut off from the ground level. She frowned and looked at the arm-thick tree stump carefully, but found that there were some gouge marks at the cut of the stump. The cut was black.
The old marks must have been cut for many years, but there are new marks in the middle of the old ones.
"What? What did you find?" Seeing Mu Tianxue squatting on the ground, Long Chen also squatted down, frowning and looking at the ordinary tree stump. When he saw the chisel marks, there was a flash in his eyes.
A trace of doubt flashed through his mind, and he said: "This tree stump looks like it has been cut down for many years, but the chisel mark in the middle is newly made. Who is free enough to come and chisel the tree stump? Could this be the tree?"
"It's very possible that there are no branches and leaves, so I can't tell them apart, but is there a way to know?" Mu Tianxue frowned and took off the silver hairpin from her bun. She brought it with her before going out just to identify which ones.
Grasses are poisonous, and which grasses are not poisonous? Now, it comes in handy.
She inserted the tail tip of the silver hairpin into the cut mark in the tree and stirred it gently. After a minute, she took out the silver hairpin and faced the not bright sky. The sky in the city was dark and thin.
Rain, she didn't even see clearly whether Yin Chai had changed.
"Try this." Long Chen also took out a fire stick from his sleeve and blew it on fire. He then blocked the drizzle with his hand and handed the silver hairpin to the firelight of the fire stick so that he could see clearly with the light of the fire.
Is there any sign of poison on the tip of the silver hairpin's tail?
"This tree stump is indeed a tree stump that seals its throat when it sees blood." When Mu Tianxue saw that the tip of Yinchai's tail had turned black, she knew that this tree was a highly poisonous tree. As for why it was determined that this tree had its throat sealed by blood.
, then we have to make a comprehensive judgment based on the newly cut tree marks and her poisoning.
How did the Emperor and Concubine Xian get the poison that seals the throat with blood? How could they get such a poison without leaving the palace? Now it seems that the poison she was poisoned by is most likely from this.
Taken from a tree stump.
After confirming that the tree stump had its throat sealed with blood, Mu Tianxue didn't know whether to be happy or sad. The good news is that if there is a tree with its throat sealed with blood, there is a 70% chance of finding red bamboo.
Backgan grass can detoxify her body.
What's sad is that this poison was delivered to Concubine Xian from the General's Mansion. Knowing that there was someone in Southeast Yard who saw blood sealing the throat of a tree stump, there shouldn't be anyone other than her father!
She sneered in her heart, her father took the poison and her aunt poisoned her. They were really brothers and sisters, they were a family. They were all so cruel and ruthless. If it had been anyone else, they would not be able to do anything to her own daughter or her niece.
, but they could indeed poison her to death without blinking an eye.
