Chapter 140 The Antidote The envoy brought by Zhao Zheng confirmed Mi Sichen's identity, bowed and bowed.
Mi Sichen also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
From leaving the capital Shouchun to now, she finally returned to her position as the princess of Chu.
During this more than a month trip, she pretended to be a maid and taught Wei Nanxu bit by her the etiquette of the Chu country, teach her the language of the Chu country, and teach her to slowly change into another self, so that the fake can almost be confused with the real one.
This is the decision that Brother Wang and Wei Nanxu made after planning for a long time.
Firstly, it can protect Wei Nanxu from being discovered, secondly, it can allow Wei Nanxu to deal with everything, and most importantly, it can also ensure the safety of the Princess of Chu in a place where life and death are at stake like Jiuwei Mountain Lingquan.
Especially when Wei Nanxu's substitute died, this method was even more flawless.
The Chu State envoy finally stopped making noise, and instead sent someone to bring a futon and help Mi Sichen sit down.
People who were seriously injured did not need to be polite. In order to avoid catching the cold, the maid even covered Mi Sichen's legs with a thin quilt.
Mi Sichen just looked up at Zhao Zheng with a smile on her face.
Wei Nanxu is ruthless, but he has a good eye.
The man she likes is really good.
How many people dream of marrying him and becoming the queen of Yong?
But when I thought that Wei Nanxu would control Zhao Zheng behind the scenes, I felt a little uncomfortable.
That woman is jealous, and I'm afraid she won't let this man sleep with her many times.
Mi Sichen liked Zhao Zheng more and more when she saw Zhao Zheng kneeling down and sitting down from a distance, with a hard appearance and a cold expression. She wished that tonight would be the wedding night.
"Gu didn't come here to ask for the antidote," Zhao Zheng looked up and seemed to be looking at Mi Sichen, but he didn't seem to look at her at all. He said solemnly, "Because Gu doesn't believe that Wei Nanxu's antidote is of any use. "
"Speaking of which, I don't really believe it either."
Unexpectedly, Mi Sichen said with a serious face: "When she knew that your Majesty's body was still poisonous, she arrested many doctors from our Chu country to develop an antidote. Because these doctors had no pulse records and did not know your Majesty's pathology, She then bought many more slaves and fed them one by one the poison that His Majesty had been poisoned by."
This unbelievable method is simply insane.
Mi Sichen shook her head and seemed to be extremely dissatisfied: "In short, many innocent people in our Chu country were killed. The most difficult dose of aconite poison killed more than 300 people, leaving only 47 people alive. These people were poisoned by Crane's Crown, Brokenroot, Tripterygium vine, Datura, etc. In the end, there were only a dozen people left, and among the dozen or so people, only three of them had the same symptoms as His Majesty."
Zhao Zheng sat silently with a mocking smile on his lips.
"Those people often have severe pain in their chests, especially at midnight; their hands and feet are cold during the day, but very hot at night; the strangest thing is the heartbeat..." Mi Sichen stopped talking and looked at Zhao Zheng, frowning. He said with an eyebrow, "The heartbeat is getting slower and slower. If the meridians are not constantly dredged with silver needles, it will stop within a few months. The person will die."
Zhao Zheng's heart moved slightly.
Mi Sichen frowned and said, "Fortunately, those three people took the antidote and are now well."
Zhao Zheng pursed his thin lips and said, "It seems that Her Royal Highness understands this very well."
She said she didn't believe it, but she confessed the method of developing the antidote in detail and told the patient's condition, which made Zhao Zheng believe little by little that Wei Nanxu had indeed made an antidote that could detoxify the remaining poison in his body.
After all, those poisons were indeed poisons he had been poisoned by.
Those symptoms were indeed his symptoms.
The spies placed by Zongjun in Shouchun were not wrong, nor were the people he placed in various countries to spy on intelligence. Wei Nanxu had indeed made an antidote to his illness.
only--
"Do you believe that Wei Nanxu didn't play tricks on the antidote?"
He killed her father, confiscated her property, and drove her to Jingshui to build a canal. It would be no exaggeration to say that they were enemies. How could she be so kind as to give him a clean antidote?
This is why Zhao Zheng sent Su Yu to kill Wei Nanxu.
He doesn't make deals with his enemies.
"Of course it's not clean." Mi Sichen covered her lips and smiled, "But Wei Nanxu wishes that His Majesty would die, but I don't. I want to... talk about marriage."
This brings back the topic of marriage.
After Mi Sichen said this, he motioned the maid to go to the bedside and took out a wooden box from the secret compartment beside the bed.
The wooden box was not big, and there was a strange smell of blood on the box. When I opened the box, I saw a pill inside.
The pill is about the size of a fingertip and the whole body is red.
The maid carefully placed the wooden box on the table.
Mi Sichen used a palace silk folding fan to push the wooden box in the direction of Zhao Zheng. She did not dare to touch it and was not willing to look at it. She whispered: "There is a poison in this medicine."
A cold light flashed across Zhao Zheng's eyes, and his fingers subconsciously pressed the sword at his waist.
He had already heard of such a thing as "gu" once.
Yang Li, the leader of the Southern Barbarian tribe, claimed that he had spread poison, which caused quite a stir in Kyoto and also caused Li Wenzhou to be severely poisoned.
Later, the medicinal herb dealer Chen Jingshi came and saved Li Wenzhou's life.
What is this Gu now? "I don't know what it is," Mi Sichen said with a sincere expression, "I just saw Wei Nanxu nourishing this medicine with blood on the road, saying that there were worms in the medicine. Now, Your Majesty, just take this medicine, Find someone to take a look. Although the medicine is useless, the imperial doctors will definitely be able to find out what the medicine is made of. If you mix it a few more times, your Majesty's life will definitely be saved."
"What are the conditions?" Zhao Zheng asked.
Mi Sichen smiled like a flower. "If Your Majesty will not give up, I would like to enter the palace and become your queen."
"Daydreaming."
Zhao Zheng snorted and stood up, seemingly no longer interested in the medicine.
"Your Majesty, stay here," Mi Sichen wanted to get up, but she fell down with an "ouch" and she broke into a cold sweat from the pain. Her thin shoulders trembled and she said softly, "It doesn't matter if you're not a queen. Madam, beauty, and beloved. Even if it’s Bazi, I’m willing.”
After all, Empress Dowager Xuan was originally a low-ranking eighth son.
For a princess of a country to be able to stoop to such an extent, there is no way to retreat.
"Why?" Zhao Zheng turned around and asked her.
Why doesn't a good princess marry into King Yong's palace?Knowing that the two countries are hostile, her life here will not be easy.
"Because I want to live." Mi Sichen said, "Brother Wang has done divination many times, and the hexagrams on the tortoise shell are clear. Each hexagram says that your majesty will aspire to dominate the world and become the co-lord of the nine states."
She lowered her head slightly, and although her voice was hoarse, she was very solemn.
"If you are afraid of death, you can stay in Yong Kingdom. If you choose one of the princes and nobles to marry, you don't have to enter the palace." Zhao Zheng's voice was still cold.
Mi Sichen struggled, and finally sighed: "As long as I can stay here, the future will be long."
She carefully picked up the antidote, raised it high above her head, and said in a loud voice: "Then please, Your Majesty, accept this gift as a promise that I will stay safe and sound in the Yong Kingdom until the end of my life."
In other words, no matter what happens to Yong and Chu in the future, Zhao Zheng cannot kill her to provoke her.
The king of a country has made a promise to protect her.
Zhao Zheng waved his sleeves and Su Yu, who followed him closely, stepped forward and accepted the sandalwood box.
After leaving the Chu State Palace, Zhao Zheng did not return to the palace.
"The imperial doctor can no longer be trusted." He said to Su Yu.
"Yes," Su Yu lowered his head, "otherwise Wei Nanxu wouldn't have felt His Majesty's symptoms so clearly."
"Su Yu."
Zhao Zheng suddenly called Su Yu's name, which made Su Yu raise his head in surprise.
The monarch's eyes were unfathomable, and there was a trace of undisguised suspicion.
"Wei Nanxu, is it true that he is dead?"
Su Yu took a step back and knelt down, kowtowed and said, "It's absolutely true. Wei Chen saw with his own eyes that she was carried onto the firewood pile and burned into ashes."
"You deserve to die once," Zhao Zheng said in a deep voice, "Ahe said that it was not your fault in Lingquan, so you can continue to live. If Wei Nanxu had not died, you know what the consequences would be."
"I know." Su Yu raised his head, his eyes clear and clear.
"Let's go," Zhao Zheng stepped into the carriage, thought for a moment and said, "Go to the Qi State Embassy."
When I went to the Qi embassy, of course I wanted to see Jiang Ben.
Zhao Zheng did not go in. The carriage stopped outside the embassy. Jiang Ben jumped on and suddenly felt a little crowded.
Although the monarch's carriage is spacious, there is not only Zhao Zheng here, but also Su Yu.
Su Yu held the candle and stared at a wooden box with a bad-smelling pill in it.
"What is this?" Jiang Ben asked.
"I heard that you are investigating Bian Que's descendants," Zhao Zhengdao said, "then there should be doctors at your place."
"Yes." Jiang Ben nodded, "That...ahem, Chen Jingshi's daughter is coming soon."
Zhao Zheng looked at him and smiled, meaning: At first you said that the Chen family was kidnapped by Wei Ji, but now you finally dare to admit it?
Jiang Ben scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Your Majesty knows that my sister has a kind heart and is not willing to kill."
Zhao Zheng did not mention this matter to him again, but simply explained what happened today.
"Your sister always praises you for being both rough and fine, so I leave this matter to you."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Jiang Ben was not in a hurry to leave. He drew out his dagger and cut off the pill with one stroke.
Sure enough there was a bug in the middle of the pill.
The insect was split into two by Jiang Ben, and it convulsed and became motionless.
"This insect is very common."
Jiang Ben smiled and put away the dagger, picked up the medicine box, and stepped back.
"Don't worry, leave your Majesty's medicine to me."
