Empty hate, dilemma

In the 33rd year of Chu, in winter, less than a month before the New Year's Day, King Jing officially set off at this time.

Lian Yu rushed to see him off at the city gate. It was covered with snow. Although Shangjing City was located in the north, the snow was not too heavy and the thickness was less than a foot. People unconsciously feel a little cold.

Lian Yu looked at the tall horse in front of him, and the two whispered softly, not avoiding other people's eyes and gossip, and the person on the horse smiled at him.

One just wanted to let the other party rest assured that he didn't have to worry about going out, and the other just wanted to let the person he was thinking of rest assured that he would definitely come back to see him.There is no one else in the eyes of the two, and there is no need to mention the same heart! !

Hengze, Runchuan, and Yumo are also here, Hengze is naturally here to see off his father, while Runchuan and Yumo are just here to join in the fun and meet Lianyu along the way.

The four of them have not seen each other for some time. Ever since Lian Yu moved into Prince Jing’s Mansion, he seldom went out, and the three of them couldn’t go to Prince Jing’s Mansion every other day. Lian Yu will definitely come to see Wang off, so he took today's opportunity to meet Lian Yu.

After seeing off the expedition team, Lian Yu took the three of them directly back to Prince Jing's Mansion.

In the past, when King Jing was around, it was not easy for the three of them to go here every day. Lian Yu seldom went out because of the rumors and accidents caused by being with King Jing.So the few people have not seen each other for a long time...

Since then, King Jing went out to the north and Lianyu lived alone in Prince Jing's mansion. No matter how many rumors there are, this has become an indisputable fact. After King Jing went out, King Chu sent palace people to deliver things to Lianyu from time to time. As if he wanted to fulfill the promise he had made to King Jing, he cared for Lianyu so much that even many courtiers had to sigh when they saw him. ! ! ?

Gradually, many courtiers would take advantage of their reputation as juniors from time to time to send people to Lianyu's door to deliver things, food, clothing, and use. I don't know whether they want to imitate the king of Chu or have other demands? ? ? ?

The people in Prince Jing's Mansion are influenced by Lian Yu, and they don't accept all the visitors according to the order. Lian Yu also confessed before that as long as someone says it is a gift for him, he will accept everything except the living person. , but as long as it is sent to King Jing, no matter how young it is, it will not be accepted! ! ! ! !

As for people, there is no need to meet, and all those who seek to see are rejected on the grounds that Lianyu is unwell.Only those who came from the palace could see Shang Lianyu, the rest were very conscious, put down their things and left.

On the contrary, Heng Ze, Run Chuan, and Yu Mo visited Prince Jing's Mansion from time to time, and Lian Yu also made trouble with them. All the people in Prince Jing's Mansion naturally gradually became acquainted with the three of them.

Now these three people, coming to Jingwang Mansion is almost like visiting a teahouse. They can come whenever they want. The servants of Jingwang Mansion are also used to it. Take whatever you want, as long as you tell the housekeeper, it's all given by someone else anyway, so Lianyu doesn't feel bad at all.

What's more, Lianyu asked someone to deliver it to her door. On the contrary, the elders in the family were afraid of offending them, so they were in a dilemma whether to accept it or not! !The people in Prince Jing's Mansion also directly said that this is for the young masters, not for each family. They also said that anyway, the self-determined son has already made it clear, if the young masters don't like it, they don't have to throw it away. care……

The people in Prince Jing’s Mansion spoke casually, but these families naturally understand that these things can be thrown away if they want. Let’s not say that these items are too rare and valuable, just because of the identity and status of Prince Jing’s Mansion. Now that Prince Jing's mansion has received the favor of the emperor, who dare not give a little bit of favor, what Lian Yu said is nothing more than a step down, and those who have a wink will go down the donkey! ! ?

Since King Jing set off, Lian Yu would go to Yanyu Tower every night. The twin ghost lotus has already been obtained and everyone is here.

According to ancient books, the female lotus in the twin ghost lotus is non-toxic, and the male lotus seals its throat with blood. The three of them used the central stamen of the twin lotus to distinguish the male lotus from the female lotus, which is much more convenient! ! !

In fact, it is stated in ancient books that the female lotus and the male lotus in the twin ghost lotus actually have their own names. According to their different medicinal properties, the female lotus is called Shentian lotus, and the male lotus is called ghost lotus, so Twin ghost lotuses are also known as one god and one ghost, one demon and one fairy...

Gui Tianlian is cold in nature, it will cause the blood of the poisoned person to coagulate within three hours, and the whole body will freeze as if petrified to death.As for Shentianlian, it has no medicinal properties. As far as we know, it can only produce medicinal properties when it is combined with Guitianlian, otherwise it will undoubtedly have a strange taste with roadside weeds at most? ! !

So the most important thing now is how to find a way to fuse the twin ghost lotus without destroying the medicinal properties of the ghost sky lotus.

Taoist Zixu and the senior pharmacist, according to Taoist Zixu, his name is Jing Qian, who is Lianyu's uncle.After deciphering the medicinal properties of the ghost sky lotus many times, the best way I came up with was to find a drug or poison that can slow down the medicinal properties of the ghost sky lotus, so that the ghost sky lotus can be used better and safer!

After many trials, Gui Tianlian really needs to go through a living body to produce medicinal properties as recorded in the ancient collections, but this living body will also be very painful in the process of enduring it, and if it is fruitless, it cannot be detoxified. This living body will eventually be afraid. In the process of death, the pain cannot be alleviated, it will only increase step by step.

Therefore, in order to slow down the toxicity of the ghost sky lotus, this living creature must first take some kind of medicine that can neutralize or restrain the medicinal properties of the ghost sky lotus. Now there is no choice of which drug can better neutralize the ghost sky lotus. .

However, Shentianlian has always made several people a little unpredictable. Shentianlian can't neutralize and dissolve any toxicity of various poisons, it can only reduce it slightly, but this reduction is sudden and insignificant, better than any other poison. An antidote has little effect.It is the same if it is fused with tonics, the effect of improving the properties of the medicine is also very small, it can be said that it has no effect...

Lian Yu also couldn't figure out why the female lotus didn't work on all the medicines, but why it only worked on the male lotus? ? ? ? ? ?

Lian Yu raised her foot and approached the room where the twin ghost lotus was stored, looking at the picked twin ghost lotus...

There were also two figures following behind, and the two white-haired figures saw Lian Yu go in, and followed them in, seeing Lian Yu staring at the twin ghost lotus, and the two of them also staring at the twin ghost lotus, but look I went, but I didn't understand, what was Lian Yu looking at? ? ? ? ?

Lian Yu stared closely at the three twin ghost lotuses separated by ice sculptures without interfering with each other.

One of the plants was completely intact, and the two of them hadn't touched it. The other two plants had some damage, whether it was flowers or branches and leaves. It was obvious that the two of them picked it for testing medicine.

The first plant was more severely damaged, from roots to branches, leaves and flowers, and almost everything that could be picked was picked except that it did not affect the growth.

The second plant probably knew that the female lotus could not be used to make medicine, so the female lotus was quite intact. On the contrary, the male lotus was picked almost all that could be picked, leaving only two leaves of flowers, which looked sluggish and miserable...

Lian Yu carefully stared at the twin ghost lotus in the second ice sculpture, and saw that the male lotus had only two solitary flowers, and the rest had been picked and even the stamens were cut off. Although the shape was miserable, that was all that was left. The two flowers below were not affected in any way, the color and luster were very good, and there was not even a hint of wrinkle and dryness...

Suddenly a voice next to him interrupted Lian Yu's meditation, "Oh, what are you looking at????"

Taoist Zixu and Lian Yu's so-called Uncle Jing squeezed beside Lian Yu from left to right, and followed Lian Yu to stare at the second twin ghost lotus, but after looking for a long time, he didn't see anything. So come on, what's so good about this? ?So I have to be curious, what is Lian Yu staring at? ? ? ?

Lian Yu heard the voice, turned her head to look at Uncle Jing, "Uncle Jing, didn't you pay attention???"

Following his words, Jing Qian glanced at the ghost lotus in the ice sculpture again, "What are you paying attention to?????"

Lian Yu pointed to the male lotus in the second twin ghost lotus, "This second male lotus has been spoiled like this by the two of you, but the two fragments left are still very fresh???? "

After listening to that, Jing Qian took a closer look. Indeed, the two fragments left alone are not only the color, but also the veins, which look very fresh. Looking at the whole flower in this way, it is even more vivid. Poor.

But Jing Qian still didn't understand "So???"

Lian Yu: "You guys have ruined the male lotus like this, but these two flowers don't have any intention of thanking them at all, isn't it strange???"

Taoist Jing Qian and Zixu looked at each other, but still didn't understand, "Is it strange??? Maybe this environment is just suitable for the growth of twin ghost lotus???? Or is the growth of male lotus stronger!???"

Lian Yuluehui pondered and said, "It was mentioned in ancient books that twin ghost lotuses bloom together and thank each other. That is to say, in the natural environment, the female lotus and the male lotus both appear and disappear together, so except for those like The first plant is the same, unless you pull out one of them completely, the other plant will not thank you. Then think about it, the female lotus has no medicinal properties, and it will only work when it is combined with the male lotus. Could it be another A reason???"

When the two white old men heard it, well, there is a door! ! ! ?Quickly asked "What's the reason????"

Lian Yu narrowed her eyes, thinking on her face, "Have you ever tried to pull out the whole female lotus, what will happen to the male lotus??? Have you ever thought about whether it is because of the female lotus, so there is only one left? The two indistinguishable male lotuses are not thankful????"

After hearing Lian Yu's words, Jing Qian and Taoist Zixu widened their eyes, turned around and stared at the male lotus with only two indistinguishable leaves, wishing to stare out a hole...

Jing Qian was anxious again, "So????"

Taoist Zixu was also in a hurry, "Did you say that???"

Lian Yu rolled her eyes, "So, if this is the case, then the role of the female lotus is to provide the growth needs of the male lotus, which means that the female lotus can not only promote the growth of the male lotus, but also make the male lotus grow in such a horrible environment The medicinal property of the female lotus is to provide vitality, or to put it another way, the female lotus provides the necessary nutrients for the male lotus. Therefore, the female lotus has no effect on any medicinal properties, because the female lotus The function is not medicine, but to provide vitality, more like fertilizing the male lotus. Then the female lotus may work on the living plants, or the seeds can work. You can try it with the seeds of the ghost orchid. It is best to eat it. Try the poison from the ghost orchid seeds, the effect should be better."

Jing Qian became excited all of a sudden, ignored Lianyu, turned around and ran out...
