poisoned?
The general had a look of shock on his face. He subconsciously looked at his fingertip where he had been pricked by a needle. There was only a faint trace of blood there, telling him what Qin Liuxi had done.
Master Zuo was also very surprised and said: "Poisoned, how could this happen?"
"Yes, even if the imperial doctor does not come to ask for Ping An's pulse every day, it only happens once every three or five, and there are also offerings in the mansion. This doctor comes to ask for Ping'an's pulse every day, but he never said that I was poisoned." The general was shocked again. Angry again.
Qin Liuxi said: "This is a chronic poison, unlike Hedinghong's tiger-wolf medicine that seals the throat with a sword. Have you heard that it moisturizes things silently? It invades your body bit by bit, making your spirit gradually worse." , the body is tired and becomes weak day by day. If this poison stays in your body for a long time, you will become more and more mentally weak and unable to lift your energy. You will fall ill in bed because of your weakness. Finally, it will be difficult to eat because of your weakness, the yin and yang of the five internal organs will be disordered, and your vitality will decline and lead to death. And outsiders will not be able to find out, and will only think that you died of weakness due to a long illness in bed."
The general's eyes, as big as copper bells, were round and round, as if they were about to bulge out, and they were extremely terrifying.
He knew that he had been physically tired recently, had trouble sleeping, and was not in good spirits. He only felt that he was physically and mentally exhausted because of the disappearance of his beloved daughter in the past few years, but he didn't know that it was poisoning?
His whole body was shivering, and he felt the chill rising from the soles of his feet and spreading all over his body.
"What is this poison called?" Mr. Zuo swallowed his saliva.
"There is a secret medicine in the Sheng Dynasty called Silence. It can make people become increasingly weak and mentally weak. Eventually, they will die without medicine due to weakness and drowsiness. It is also difficult to detect." Qin Liuxi said: "The most important thing to refine this poison is The medicine is Buddha's Flower, which is also the Flower of the Other Side, and is supplemented by smelting poisonous medicinal materials such as Celestial Vine and grinding it into fine powder, which can be made into a silent medicine."
After hearing this, the two of them felt their scalps go numb.
Qin Liuxi wiped the blood marks on his fingers with a handkerchief and said, "Just now I tasted the scent of Buddha flower, fairy vine, and cinnabar in your blood."
“Cinnabar?”
"Yes, cinnabar is poisonous. In the past, Emperor Sheng was obsessed with refining elixirs and took elixirs. Most of them were refined with cinnabar, which also contained erysipelas. After taking it for a long time, the erysipelas condensed and became difficult to dissolve, so the medicine was ineffective," Qin Liuxi said. : "You have difficulty falling asleep at night. Your mouth is dry and your tongue is dry. This is also due to cinnabar poison, which causes your stomach fire to rise and liver fire to accumulate, making it difficult to sleep well."
“I, wasn’t it because of my daughter’s affairs?”
"Whenever a disease develops, there are many causes. You have worked hard because of Miss Zheng's disappearance. You are emotionally depressed and worried too much. This is one of them. If poison is added to your body, it will be even more serious for you. The body's ability to withstand it." Qin Liuxi said in a deep voice: "And I just checked your pulse. You have a hidden injury in your body. I guess you have injured your lungs and escaped from death. You were able to escape from death because you were at that time. Only when you are young can you recover, but external injuries are easy to cure, but internal injuries are difficult to cure, which requires extremely meticulous care. All kinds of inducements come together, and you will become older and weaker."
The general subconsciously covered his abdomen and said, "When I was in my twenties, during a battle, I was stabbed in the abdomen with a spear."
That year was indeed a calamity for his life.
"In addition, you have more than one hidden wound on your body. There are several. In addition, due to external injuries, your body cannot bear its weight, so you have to delegate power. Otherwise, which general will be disbanded and returned to the field before he is sixty years old?" What?" Qin Liuxi said again.
The person in power holds great power, and does not want to let it go until the last resort. After all, people are tired of tea, and military commanders are even more so. Once military power is gone, all that is left is face.
Looking at the generals who hold military power, who is willing to give up military power? Even if he is a tyrant like Quan Jing, the descendants of the Quan family will take over the throne. If there is no honor and support, it means returning to the fields.
The general had already delegated his powers before he was sixty. It was not just because he had no successors, but more because his body did not allow him to do so, so he had to delegate his powers.
The general glanced at Qin Liuxi: "You know so much." Isn't she a Taoist priest? How come she still knows these twists and turns?
"Where is this chronic poison? Since doctors can't diagnose it, doesn't it mean it's silent?" Lord Zuo asked.
The general finally put the important things in front of him. He was also curious, how to administer this poison?
“Since it’s called silent, it really should be silent. You don’t need to eat too much of this kind of powder. You just need to mix it with spices, burn it and inhale it, and it will be silent.”
"Just by smelling it, this poison can penetrate into the meridians, and the poison can be tasted in the blood?" Mr. Zuo suddenly felt that his brain was not strong enough. Qin Liuxi smiled lightly: "How can a pregnant woman not conceive or abort a child even if she smells musk and other substances? As for the fact that it can be tasted in the blood, it is naturally because he has drunk this poison, not much, and accidentally put it in. It’s ready in the decoction.”
The general is feeling cold all over his body.
Who, who wants to harm him?
He has already lost his daughter, and his old mother has been lying in bed all year round, barely able to survive, and he has quickly become a loner. Who still dislikes him and wants him to die?
“Old Zheng, can you use incense?” Master Zuo asked.
The general stiffened slightly: "The soothing incense is naturally useful."
He stayed up all night because of his beloved daughter, and often woke up from his dreams, so he mostly tried to sleep with soothing incense.
Mr. Zuo looked at Qin Liuxi, who said, "There's no harm in going and taking a look."
The three of them got up and went to their bedroom. When they walked out of the flower hall, their expressions changed invariably.
Qin Liuxi glanced at the two old men who had no expression on their faces, and clicked his tongue. Sure enough, they were the people who had been in power for a long time. Suddenly, they were shocked by this incident. When they went out to face outsiders, they could still pretend that nothing happened. happen, so as not to alert the enemy.
“General.” The steward Wu stepped forward to listen.
The general said to him: "When guests come, you personally take people to Zhuangzi to bring back some fresh goods, and prepare some talisman paper and cinnabar for later use."
Manager Wu glanced at Qin Liuxi, bowed and said respectfully, "Yes."
Just as he was about to leave, Qin Liuxi's voice sounded in the general's ears again. He suddenly looked at her sharply.
Qin Liuxi smiled slightly, as if he didn't say anything.
Seeing that Mr. Zuo didn't respond, the general stopped Lao Wu and said, "I'm going to invite Mr. Luan again. I'm going to have a banquet and I'm not feeling very well. If he's free, he can come over and help me." .”
Lao Wu was a little surprised, but he responded.
The general took Qin Liuxi and Mr. Zuo to his own courtyard. Once the door was closed, he didn't care about anything else. He only frowned and looked at Qin Liuxi and asked in a deep voice: "You want me to call my future uncle?" Why did you come here?"
Qin Liuxi's eyes flickered brightly and he grinned: "Of course I want to see what a deeply loving person is."
Master Zuo: I won’t say anything, but I think you want to say that you just want to see if that guy is going to die!
