Chapter 6 Poisoning(1/2)
Mrs. Li was furious and asked Li Jia to buy a coffin.
Li Jia said with a grimace: "Madam, it's getting late now, this..."
Mrs. Li stamped her feet vigorously and strode outside.
Li Xin was a little panicked and asked quickly: "Madam, where are you going?"
Mrs. Li replied without looking back: "I will personally choose a good coffin for you."
Mrs. Li took a few people and went straight out of the door. Only Li Xin and a few servants were left in the house.
The air suddenly became quiet, and everyone felt a little embarrassed.
Li Xin coughed dryly and said to Li Jia next to him: "Why don't you help me up quickly?"
Li Jia came to his senses and quickly helped Li Xin up.
Li Xin's legs were already numb, and he limped to the door, but Mrs. Li's figure had long since disappeared on the street.
Li Xin thought for a while, sighed and said: "If you buy it, you just buy it. People will die eventually, and they will be needed sooner or later anyway."
A group of servants in the back were all holding back their laughter.
Of course Mrs. Li didn't really go to buy a coffin. She took a car to Chunyu Yue Mansion.
Chunyu Yue was a great scholar of the time, a doctor of Qin Dynasty, and a teacher of Fu Su.
Under the intimidating title, there is another identity, that is, Li Xin's brother-in-law.
It's just that he couldn't stand Li Xin's vulgar behavior of fighting and killing all day long. Every time he saw Li Xin, he would criticize and educate him.
Therefore, since Li Xin's sister passed away, Li Xin has not visited Chunyu Yue's house, and he just thinks that this brother-in-law is gone.
In the past, Mrs. Li would not have provoked Chun Yuyue, but now that Li Xin was in danger, Mrs. Li thought carefully, so Chun Yuyue could say a word or two in front of Ying Zheng.
So Mrs. Li bit the bullet and came.
The doorkeeper was polite enough to let Mrs. Li in. But after entering, she waited in the front hall until dawn.
This kind of deliberate neglect made Mrs. Li furious. But today she had something to ask for, so she could only wait patiently.
After the rooster crowed three times, a servant finally came over and said respectfully: "Mrs. Li, my master has invited me."
Mrs. Li followed the servant to the back hall. When she looked up, she was almost angry to death.
Chunyu Yue was neatly dressed and was having breakfast. The key was that the breakfast was for one person and was obviously not prepared for Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li gritted her teeth and saluted: "I have met my sister-in-law."
Chunyu Yue said nothing.
Mrs. Li said abruptly again: "I have met my sister-in-law."
Chunyu Yue still didn't speak.
Mrs. Li raised her voice and shouted: "Sister-in-law!"
Chunyu Yue raised his eyes and glanced at her, with a dissatisfied look on his face.
A little maid next to her came over and whispered to Mrs. Li: "The Master said that you should eat and sleep without talking. If Madam has something to do, let's wait until my master has finished eating."
Mrs. Li wished she could turn around and leave on the spot. But thinking about Li Xin, she endured it again.
Chun Yuyue chewed slowly for half an hour, then wiped his mouth and said slowly: "I have heard about Li Xin and Huai Guzi."
Mrs. Li bowed and said, "Please sister-in-law, please save Li Xin's life."
Chunyu Yue stroked his beard and said with a sad expression: "I told you when Li Ji was alive in the past. How could her brother be so simple and reckless? How could he succeed? Li Ji didn't believe it and even had a quarrel with me.
Haha, didn’t you prove what I said today?”
"He, Li Xin, was defeated in the Chu Kingdom. After he came back, he should shut himself up and think about his mistakes to show his shame. But he wanted to compete with Wang Ben, Wang Li and his son."
"It's just a matter of arguing with Wang Li. I don't think it's troublesome enough, so I recommended some Sophora japonica and millet. I don't understand why Li Xin doesn't understand the truth about his strange power and confusion. Refining elixirs, hum, it's extremely ridiculous."
"It's just a matter of recommending Huaiguzi. If Huaiguzi does something bad, Li Xin can at best be regarded as someone who doesn't know people well. But it's not bad for him to actually use his wealth and life to guaranty Huaiguzi."
"If it's something else, it's just a matter of temporary anger. But what he's guaranteeing is to cure a gangrene disease. This is a terminal illness. Isn't this asking for death?"
Mrs. Li remained silent. She finally understood why Li Xin refused to see Chunyu Yue.
This guy is so good at being a teacher. From the moment we met until now, let alone whether he is willing to help or not, let me first give him some criticism and education.
Mrs. Li waited patiently for a long time, and Chun Yuyue finally sighed: "That's all, Li Xin is Li Ji's brother after all. As my sister-in-law, how can I ignore it?"
Mrs. Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her.
Chunyu Yue waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty likes the Legalist theory of punishment, and I am an orthodox Confucianist. Although I am a doctor of Da Qin, I don't have much power. At most, I can only save Li Xin's life.
."
"After today, Li Xin will be discharged from his army and return to his hometown. He will live out his life as a wealthy man in peace and stability."
Mrs. Li felt a little disappointed, but then she thought, it would be good if she could save her life. So she thanked Chun Yuyue again.
Chunyu Yue was not polite and said calmly: "Please come back. I am going to court. There will be a meeting today."
Mrs. Li couldn't wait to leave.
Chunyu Yue put on his court clothes and said to himself: "If everyone were like this old man, with benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust, how could there be so many bad things? Everyone in the world lacks education."
…………
It was almost dawn, and all the officials went to court one after another. In Ying Fuyao's room, Li Shui yawned hard. He had stayed up all night.
Fu Yao hasn't woken up yet, but he doesn't have a fever. So far, his condition is pretty good and no infection has occurred.
According to Li Shui's estimate, things will probably be over by daybreak.
It's just a skin injury, not bedridden.
His eyes glanced outside and saw Lu Lie poking his head outside the yard.
That night, not only did he not sleep, but Lu Lie didn't sleep either, and he kept sneaking around outside.
Li Shui said to Ji Ming next to him: "Actually, I am kind-hearted and cannot bear to kill people."
Ji Ming grinned and could only think that Li Shui was speaking sarcastically.
Li Shui sighed again and said: "Although Lu Lie deserved his death, I can't bear to have him cut in half just because of a bet. How about giving him a chance?"
Ji Ming's heart beat: "Give me a chance? How to give me a chance? Do I want Mr. Fu Yao to remain asleep? This way you, Li Shui, don't have to die, and Lu Lie doesn't have to die either."
Ji Ming felt that Li Shui could really do such a treasonous thing. Over the past few days, he had seen clearly that Li Shui was a complete lunatic and could not be handled with common sense.
Ji Ming's only thought now is that he hopes to leave this person and not be implicated.
Just when Ji Ming was in a state of confusion, Lu Lie, who was standing outside the yard, was also in a state of confusion.
Two hours have passed since Li Shui's treatment. Mr. Fu Yao has been silent.
Lu Lie sighed and thought evilly: "Fu Yao, why don't you die? Once he dies, I can rest assured."
As time passed, a terrible thought suddenly came to his mind: "Fu Yao, what should I do if he is cured? Will he wake up after a while?"
In the past few days, Lu Lie had gone through medical research and found out that there was indeed a case of a person who suffered from gangrene and survived.
According to medical records, after the sores and ulcers burst, they are often followed by high fever that does not go away, ignorance of personnel, and lack of water and rice.
Most people lie down for three to five days and then die of high fever, never opening their eyes until death.
However, there is a person in the record who has always been strong and strong. He survived until the fever subsided. However, after he woke up, his originally strong body was tortured and became skinny and weak.
Of course, such examples are only recorded, and whether they are true or not remains to be verified. No one has ever seen a real case.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that ulcers are a terminal disease.
Thinking of this, Lu Lie comforted himself: "It's impossible. Fu Yao is only ten years old and his body is weak. It's impossible to survive. He's doing pretty well until now."
At this moment, Li Shui suddenly shouted in surprise from inside the room: "Wake up, wake up. Master Fu Yao is awake. Go and report to the king. What? Master said he is hungry? Hurry, go and prepare soup."
"
So the two little eunuchs Xiaoyi and Wujiao ran out.
Wujiao went towards Yingzheng's palace, while Xiaoyi walked towards the fire room.
Lu Lie stood against the wall, his body shaking like a sieve: "Are you awake? You're actually awake. Not only are you awake, but you're also complaining that you're hungry. This is obviously cured."
"Fu Yao wakes up, and I'm going to die. How cruel is that punishment of being cut in half?"
Lu Lie touched his waist, his legs softened, and he sat down on the ground.
"I don't want to die, I can't die. I'm going to visit the Immortal Mountain. I want to get the elixir and I can become a god. I can't die." Lu Lie was sweating heavily on his head, his eyes were red, and his whole body was a little cold.
Crazy.
Suddenly, Lu Lie remembered something: the red letter stone.
This is something I discovered when I was searching for immortals in the East. This thing is colorless and odorless, but it is highly poisonous. It can be ground into powder and can be quickly dissolved in soup.
As it happens, Lu Lie has a little bit of that.
If...if Fu Yao was poisoned and killed, then the King of Qin would be furious and would kill Huai Guzi immediately.
To be continued...
