The poison was given by the emperor, so most of the people who made the poison were also in the capital...
When Wu Shisun ordered someone to send him an urgent message earlier, he had obviously anticipated that General Xu might be poisoned, and this anticipation must not have been a mere guess - could he have noticed some clues?
And if there is any discovery, it is impossible for Wu Shisun and Miss Xu to do nothing in Beijing.
It would be great if we could find the poison maker and get the antidote.
But this is the best result he can think of. He can't really place his hopes on the two young people far away in the capital. Now, he is the person closest to General Xu, so he must think of all feasible strategies.
Come and protect General Xu...
Doctor Qiu clenched the porcelain bottle in his hand and said to Akui: "I will take this poison back for inspection first. If anything happens to General Xu, please have someone call me."
The top priority now is to find an antidote as soon as possible.
Akui nodded seriously: "Please ask the miracle doctor."
As for the old lady, she will watch over him every step of the way.
Doctor Qiu raised his hand and saluted King Yan, then turned and walked out.
King Yan looked solemnly in the direction of the compartment - the general was lying there, never opening his eyes.
Qin Wu was pulled up by Jin Yi.
"The general is unconscious due to poisoning and tonight's events must not be leaked to anyone." King Yan said to Qin Wu: "As for postponing the date of returning to Beijing, for the time being, we will use the excuse that the general is not feeling well and should not rush on his way."
It is not uncommon for people to rest for a period of time after the war before breaking camp and returning to Beijing to ensure their energy for the return trip.
Qin Wu nodded and told Jin Yi to arrange the matter.
"Another letter needs to be written and sent back to the capital." King Yan continued: "Tell Prince Xu and Miss Xu truthfully about the general's current situation——"
There is no good-faith concealment in this kind of thing.
The general is now in such a dangerous situation. Even if Xu's family is far away in the capital or unable to do anything about it, no one can take away the family's right to know on their own initiative.
Furthermore, in addition to the most basic family relationships, there is another point that is also very important - once something happens to the general, the Duke's Mansion in the capital city will certainly not be able to remain still. It would be better to send the letter back earlier to take some precautions.
Qin Wu: "I'll go get someone to write a letter right away!"
Before this expedition, the girl told him several times that if there was any change, he should immediately send a message back to the capital - although he was not good at using his brain, he was best at following orders.
Qin Wu immediately went to find Yao Jing.
"The person who ordered Dr. Liu to poison... was actually the emperor?!" Yao Jing looked shocked when he heard this.
I really can’t have this emperor anymore!
The most evil people in ordinary people's lives are those who harm their wives and parents, but this one seems to be a scourge that harms the country and the people!
His master is indeed right - if you put a person in a position that does not match his mind and ability, it will only bring about ominousness and disaster. The higher the position, the greater the power in his hand, and the harm will be done to the people he has.
Peace will become more widespread.
If this continues, there will inevitably be another chaotic world...
And if something happens to the general, the situation may become increasingly difficult to save. For a person of the general's status, his life safety is not only related to the safety of the individual and the family, but may even affect the fate of one party and even the world...
The current emperor's luck is about to run out, or God's will is unstoppable. Chaos is bound to happen in this world, but how chaotic it is and how long it will last depends on human actions, and the word "人" refers to
It is a powerful force on all sides.
The general is one of them.
And he is one of the few people who can save the world with the righteousness of the world in mind - this is one of the reasons why he chose to follow the general in the first place.
"What emperor? Damn! He's just a sinister villain!" Qin Wu scolded: "If the general is really guilty of something, I, Qin Wu, will risk my life to break the head of this stupid king!"
As he said that, he looked at Yao Jing with red eyes: "How did you predict the divination at the beginning? Didn't you say that everything will go well for the general in this battle?"
"This battle was fought quickly and beautifully. Didn't everything go well?" Yao Jing sighed: "What I was mainly predicting was the momentum of the war, not the general himself..."
As for why not do a divination for the general?
Divination is done, but nothing can be calculated.
Strangely enough, after the girl avoided the disaster last year and escaped safely, he could no longer predict the fate of the girl and the general, and tried many methods to no avail.
"You can't even calculate such a catastrophe for the general. I think this trick of yours is just a trick to fool people!" Qin Wu said angry words, but there were tears in his eyes: "Give me a handful.
The fragrance comes!"
"Why do you want incense?"
"I want to offer incense and pray for the general!"
Yao Jing felt mixed after hearing this. This tone didn't sound like he was praying for blessings, it was more like killing people...
If you kneel down in front of Master Sanqing like this, your evil aura will probably shake the statue.
And didn’t you just say that all his tricks were just to fool people?
But he also knew that Qin Wu was really scared, so he just sighed and said: "Just wait, I will take you to offer incense after I finish writing this letter..."
After the letter was written, it was quickly secretly sent out of Dongyuan City.
Early the next morning, just before daylight, there was a knock on the door of Doctor Qiu's room.
"Enter."
Doctor Qiu's reply soon came from inside the room.
Qin Wu pushed the door open and followed King Yan in.
There was still a light on in the room, and Doctor Qiu was sitting in front of a table filled with bottles and jars and various medicinal materials, obviously he had not slept all night.
Qin Wu also stayed up all night. He spent the whole night going back and forth outside the room of the general and Divine Doctor Qiu. He had long wanted to ask about the progress of Divine Doctor Qiu, but he was afraid of disturbing things.
When he saw King Yan approaching, he hurriedly followed him.
"I wonder if the miracle doctor needs my help?" King Yan asked.
Naturally, this was an indirect way of inquiring about the progress, and he didn't want Doctor Qiu to feel that he was urging him.
After all, when it comes to helping, there is no need for him, a prince who is inconvenient to show up in front of others. Qin Wu has appointed a few capable confidants for Divine Doctor Qiu to dispatch at any time. These medicinal materials on the table were found from all over the night.
.
"After a night of hard work, it's not like I got nothing..." Doctor Qiu raised his head, his eyes flickering as he said, "There may be a cure for the poison on the general's body."
Qin Wu was very excited after hearing this: "The miracle doctor has come up with a solution?!"
King Yan's eyes also lit up, waiting for Doctor Qiu to continue - obviously it's not that simple, but there is still a way to think of, which is the best situation now.
"I have tried to prepare several prescriptions..." Doctor Qiu said: "But they all have to use a very hard-to-find medicinal material - if you can find this medicine, you may give it a try."
Qin Wu immediately said: "What medicinal materials? I will find it!"
Even if he goes to heaven and earth, through mountains of swords and seas of fire, he will still find him for the general!
Seeing as if even if he said the medicine was a relic, the other party would melt it for him on the spot, Divine Doctor Qiu said three words: "Linggao Zhi."
This medicine is probably not much easier to find than relics...
Doctor Qiu nodded and shook his head: "Yes and no, this medicine is unusual Ganoderma lucidum, and it is extremely difficult to find. I was lucky enough to see it only once many years ago."
It was also that time that he learned about the medicinal properties of this medicine.
"Lingguozhi... I have written it down, and I will take people to find it right now!" Qin Wu said hurriedly, turned around and walked out quickly.
Looking at Qin Wu's leaving figure, Doctor Qiu said to King Yan: "This medicine is not that easy to find... A few years ago, I wanted to find it to treat the children at home. I searched everywhere, but I couldn't find half of it.
strain."
He is considered an insider and has more ways to go. Qin Wu is even more difficult to find with his eyes darkened like a headless fly.
But maybe...
After all, Xu Jiajun is rich.
Maybe we can actually smash one out?
King Yan asked: "May I ask the miracle doctor, where does this Lingzhi grow?"
"This thing only grows in the Northern Desert." Doctor Qiu said: "And even in the Northern Desert, it is not an easy thing to find."
Northern Desert?
Hearing these two words, King Yan's heart moved slightly.
He has been stationed in the Northland all year round and is no stranger to the Northern Desert. He has never known each other before. He has some unknown personal relations with the King of the Northern Desert who just took over the throne last year.
But after the other party sat on the throne, out of suspicion, he also deliberately reduced his contacts with him.
But now without any hesitation, King Yan said: "I have an old friend in Bei Mo, maybe he can help... I will write a letter and ask someone to send it to Bei Mo immediately to find out about this.
The whereabouts of Ganoderma lucidum."
"It's also a good idea." Divine Doctor Qiu nodded, thinking: "But Dongyuan City is still a thousand miles away to the north, and it's still a thousand miles away from the Bei Desert. The journey back and forth without resting day and night will probably take more than ten days at the fastest..."
King Yan heard the sense of urgency: "How long can the general's body last?"
"The general has been poisoned for some time. Judging from the current situation, it may be difficult to survive for four or five days..." Doctor Qiu said: "But although I can't cure the general's poison now, I can still do it if I restrain myself and delay it for a while.
——If you are lucky enough, you may be able to delay it for ten days and a half."
Upon hearing this, King Yan raised his hand and saluted solemnly: "I hope the miracle doctor will try his best to delay it. I will definitely try to find an antidote for the general as soon as possible!"
Doctor Qiu stood up and returned the courtesy with a straight face: "I will do my best!"
The sky outside the door was already bright, but there was a faint feeling of gloom and fog, and the morning sun had not risen for a long time.
Within the capital, inside the imperial palace, inside the woven gold bed tent, Emperor Qingming suddenly opened his eyes.
He had another nightmare.
Those people again…
Those who should have died long ago never gave him a moment of peace of mind even in his dreams!
"Li Ji——"
Emperor Qingming sat up, his voice was slightly hoarse as if he had just woken up, but it still contained the anger from his dream.
The emperor's irritability from time to time has become the norm these days.
Recently, due to scratches on his jaw and neck by cats, the emperor did not want to be seen by the officials because of his face. In addition, he really couldn't listen to the bad news and difficult things that the courtiers always reported, so he used the excuse of being unwell.
Never went to court early.
"Your Majesty is awake." Li Ji hurriedly came over and raised the bed curtain.
Seeing the anger in the emperor's eyebrows, Li Ji sighed in his heart - How come your Majesty already looks like he is looking for trouble this early in the morning?
I haven’t seen anyone today. Maybe I was provoked by someone in my dream?
Your Majesty is really too easy to be provoked now...
Yesterday, a young eunuch turned his head and covered his mouth and sneezed, so he was dragged down and punished...
"What time is it?" Emperor Qingming asked, rubbing his forehead.
His head hurt again, as if he had been run over by something heavy in his sleep.
"It's time to return to Your Majesty..."
Had he slept for so long?
Emperor Qingming frowned and looked out the window at the dazzling sunlight, and immediately narrowed his eyes. At this moment, the pain in his temple seemed to intensify a lot.
"Get me the elixir quickly..."
In the past few days, he has been taking the Qingqiao Pill refined by the national master. Every time he takes it, the headache symptoms are greatly relieved - even much better than Qiao Bing's prescription.
Hearing this, Li Ji reminded him softly: "The Imperial Master only sent three pills before. It is said that only these three pills were refined. The last pill was taken by His Majesty yesterday..."
Gone?
Emperor Qingming immediately said: "Master Xuan is here to see me."
Li Ji responded.
The Imperial Master came from Xuanqing Hall, wearing a clean Taoist robe with a faint scent of medicine, making him look more and more unlike a mortal.
"I have used the Qingqiao Pill that the Imperial Master sent me earlier, and I have used it very well, so I would like to ask the Imperial Master to refine more." Emperor Qingming had already changed his clothes and was sitting on the Luohan bed. His face looked a little bit.
Unbreakable fatigue.
Very useful?
That's right.
After all, this elixir was not made by him at all, but was given to him by Wu Shisun - this could no longer be called copying homework, but the examination papers were written directly and given to him.
The Imperial Master sighed in his heart, but his face remained expressionless.
Emperor Qingming asked him, "I just don't know how many days it will take to refine this medicine?"
Xia Tingzhen, who came to report the matter, was sitting at the lower end of the side, her eyes moved slightly when she heard this.
Has the emperor been taking pills recently?
And it sounds like I am very dependent on this medicine...
He looked nonchalantly at the Imperial Master who was standing there and answering.
The Taoist seemed to think about it for a moment before speaking: "Your Majesty, the refining of the Qingqiao Pill is quite complicated. It takes at least ten days to make one batch. And although this medicine has the effect of clearing the Qingqiao and warding off evil spirits, it will not cure your Majesty's headache."
As far as the disease is concerned, it can only be suppressed but not cured... And Pindao learned that His Majesty was troubled by this headache. Recently, he found a recipe from the secret recipe of the elixir left by the ancestor, which may be able to eradicate it.
This disease."
"Eradication?" Emperor Qingming's heart moved: "Has the Imperial Master already started refining this medicine?"
He has always been extremely suspicious, and facing the imperial master is no exception. Every pill sent from Xuanqing Palace must be checked and confirmed by the imperial physician before taking it.
I am so urgent now because I have been suffering from this headache for too long.
"Not yet, just because there is still a missing piece of medicine." The Imperial Master said, "I am planning to explain this matter to Your Majesty."
"What kind of medicinal materials are still missing? The Imperial Master can just tell me that I will send someone to Xuanqing Palace."
"This medicine is called Ganoderma lucidum. It is quite difficult to find. I wonder if there is such a thing in the palace——"
Emperor Qingming didn't take it seriously - even if there wasn't anything in the palace, he could still let people look for it. The world belonged to him, was there anything he couldn't find?
