Drunk Bamboo

"My Lord, Princess, please wait a moment!"

Qi Zhen hurriedly chased after him.

"I don't have time to take you back. Go back to the palace by yourself."

Hua Qinfeng thought he was here to take advantage of the carriage and glanced at him with disdain.

"No, no." Qi Zhen shook her head, her eyes excited and a little embarrassed, "Princess, the formula of the antidote..."

"Okay. I forgot for a moment and was going to give it to you."

Xie Yuzhu seemed to know what he was going to say. She directly opened the medicine box hanging on Hua Qinfeng's body, took out a piece of paper with the antidote formula and handed it to Qi Zhen.

"This is an extremely precious formula. Princess, are you giving it to me so easily?"

Qi Zhen took the prescription with trembling hands, not expecting that she had already prepared it.

"You have good medical skills. If you study them, maybe you can save more people."

Xie Yuzhu was all smiles.

Qi Zhen said solemnly:

"The princess is selfless."

He will definitely put this prescription to good use.

He carefully put away the prescription and went back in.

"What are you doing back?"

"I'll wait a little longer. When Miss Ginkgo wakes up, I want to ask her what the early symptoms of poisoning are."

“The spirit of a doctor.”

This is the true dedication to medicine.

Xie Yuzhu elevated the image of Qi Zhen to a higher level.

Hua Qinfeng knew that they only knew each other through medical skills, but he still felt uncomfortable.

He put his arm around her waist inconspicuously and took her out.

Zhang Xinghe was standing at the door, waiting for them.

"The prince will arrive the day after tomorrow. If Ginkgo can speak up, Han Jian's secret contact with Lou Shan will have a witness, and the false accusation against the prince will be self-defeating."

"Chaoyang will keep an eye on it." Hua Qinfeng understood.

The tacit understanding between the two is unbreakable on the battlefield.

Now it's just returning to normal.

Zhang Xinghe said no more. When he turned around, Hua Qinfeng's voice came from afar:

"By the way, Qi Zhen went to see the Master, and there was no problem."

He waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me."

"nature."

Zhang Xinghe turned around, and the corners of his mouth rarely curled up into an arc, like a bright crescent moon.

Hanfu

Han Jian was losing his temper again.

"What?! No body was found?"

"I searched the mass grave but couldn't find Ginkgo's body."

The men in the mansion rushed out of the city and arrived at the mass grave on the outskirts of the city, but they did not find any trace of Ginkgo.

Those who died in the mass graves were nameless and had no one to collect their bodies. They were naked or in rags. Ginkgo was wearing brocade clothes and could be recognized at a glance.

I searched almost everywhere, but still found nothing.

"She was poisoned, how could she have the strength to run? Could someone really have saved her?"

A sense of fear surged into his heart and Han Jian shuddered all over.

"No one can survive in a mass grave. There are many barren mountains nearby. Maybe he was taken away by a wild beast..."

The subordinate explained carefully.

In fact, they couldn't believe it either.

How could a person, no, a half-corpse with only one breath left disappear?

"Even if it's eaten by wild beasts, only bones should be left!"

Han Jian widened his eyes and roared loudly.

"If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body. Go find him now!"

More than a dozen people were so frightened that they dared not stay for a moment, and all of them disappeared in an instant.

Han Jian clenched his fists, a hint of worry appearing in his cold eyes.

"What if the Imperial Concubine and Prince Wen knew that Ginkgo was missing?!"

Before, King Wen tried every means to save Ginkgo, but later the Imperial Concubine wanted to kill her.

I’m just afraid that he knows too many secrets and cannot be kept.

The worst thing is that he doesn’t know Ginkgo’s true background, and he doesn’t know whether she even knows the secrets of the Han Mansion.

Is she holding something in her hands?

If he were to survive by some chance and turn around to find the prince and bite him back, the consequences would be disastrous.

Han Jian didn't dare to think about going again. It would never happen.

King Wen said that no one could cure the poison of impermanence, and even if Ginkgo escaped, he would not survive.

Han Jian felt a little more at ease after thinking this way.

……

Inside the carriage, Hua Qinfeng and Xie Yuzhu were discussing what had just happened.

Everything happened so suddenly and in such a hurry. Now they have some time alone to talk quietly.

"What's the poison in the ginkgo?"

Hua Qinfeng had been curious for a long time.

In front of outsiders, he pretended to be deep and no longer showed everything on his face like before.

In today's interrogation of Hongmei, he was steady and experienced, and was on par with Zhang Xinghe.

No matter what he does outside, in front of Xie Yuzhu, he is still the same person.

"I don't know. I've never seen the same poison in any of the books I've read."

"But you're detoxified, aren't you?"

Now, Hua Qinfeng was even more confused.

It also aroused his desire to find out the truth.

His eyes were bright as he stared at Xie Yuzhu for the answer.

"Generally, poisons are divided into acute and chronic. It's easy to understand, and it means exactly what it says. Acute poisons, such as arsenic, are poisonous and can kill people in a short period of time. Even if you want to detoxify, there is no time at all."

"For chronic poisons, in addition to moderating the properties, the dosage must be controlled. If the red thorn is taken in small amounts over several times, it will become a chronic poison."

"And the poison in ginkgo is neither of those."

She explained patiently.

My heart sank when I thought of this poison.

"So how did you detoxify?"

"We have to rely on the flowers and herbs that the prince found. The purple eggplant among them is also poisonous. Using poison to fight poison is just the right antidote for the ginkgo biloba. Otherwise, I have no other options."

The favor he owed Hongmei for the white fox cloak he had obtained from her was finally repaid by her.

Cause and effect are truly magical.

"That's why I said that God would not let Ginkgo die. God's net is vast and wide, and the person behind the scenes must be exposed."

Xie Yuzhu raised her eyes and smiled faintly. This could be considered a turning point.

"They are trying to silence the witnesses." Hua Qinfeng frowned, his eyes filled with anger.

He sent her to Han's house and took the opportunity to poison her.

He is so calculating and ruthless even towards his own people.

"I'm more concerned about the people who make the drugs."

How could Xie Yuzhu not understand Hua Qinfeng's anger?

At this moment, her heart also felt cold.

"The poison that can instantly turn a person into blood and water, and the strange poison in the ginkgo."

"These two poisons are extraordinary. This person is good at using poisons and is even a master at making poisons. But a lot of materials are needed for research."

Is there anyone who meets the requirements and has a relationship with King Wen and Han Jian?

"Gao Yin! He was brought into the palace by the Imperial Concubine."

Hua Qinfeng immediately thought of this person.

"I have to have Changfeng Tower arrange for someone to go into the Shang Pharmacy and keep a close eye on Gao Yin."

Xie Yuzhu patted his hands and told him to calm down.

"If you don't have some medical skills or a family background in medicine, you probably won't be able to enter the Shang Pharmacy. Can Your Majesty find such a person in Changfeng Tower?"

Hua Qinfeng was instantly deflated.

Changfeng Tower had been asked to investigate Gao Yin before, but because no one knew medical skills, they could not enter the Shang Pharmacy.

Gao Yin is an extremely cautious person. He has no relatives or friends, and there has been no new person in the mansion for more than ten years, so it is really difficult to approach him.

After observing him for more than a month and finding nothing unusual, they stopped arranging for anyone to keep an eye on him.

"Then arrange for someone to approach the servants of Gaoyin Mansion. There will always be a way." Hua Qinfeng said firmly.

"People who don't study medicine wouldn't understand even if they saw Gao Yin making poison. In fact, we have someone in the Shang Pharmacy."

Xie Yuzhu looked at him.

Hua Qinfeng opened his eyes wide.

"You mean Qi Zhen?"

He shook his head again, "You see, he only has eyes for the poison and the antidote, and doesn't understand the complexity of this matter at all."

He was so nervous even when drawing a lock pattern that it was impossible for him to get close to Gao Yin as a spy.

Xie Yuzhu firmly believes it.

"People like him, knowing that Gao Yin is making drugs, would never let it go."

"Because in his eyes, curing diseases and saving lives is above all else."

If you think about it, it makes sense.

……

The next evening, the prince arrived in Zhongdu.

One day early.

The prince did not see the emperor, but was thrown into the Ministry of Justice prison.

The officials were in chaos.

To destroy someone's heart is more cruel than to kill him.
