Chapter 151 Phoenix Dragon Snake Gallbladder
Chapter 151 Phoenix Dragon Snake Gallbladder
The General's Mansion was brightly lit that night.
The imperial physician, the court physician, and Qingli, none of them dared to slack off. The emperor's order for the imperial physician was that they must do their best to save the patient, and they had been given a death order. The court physician had their master's orders, so they had to do their best. But Qingli was different. Her master had just left when the old lady had this incident, and her master knew that she would lose control. Even though she was soaked, she had no time to wipe the sweat off her face, and she kept giving the needles and releasing the poison.
Even if everyone works together, there is no antidote for Qianji Yin. The only way now is acupuncture.
It was not until the hour of midnight that the chaos in the General's Mansion finally settled down a little. Qingli pulled out the needle and told them to leave it alone. Just leave one or two people to observe the old lady. She went to prepare the antidote. However, it took too long. Qingli, who was kneeling beside the bed, felt numb under her feet and almost fell down.
Su Jinyu quickly supported her and said, "Miss Qingli, are you okay? Take a break. You..." Su Jinyu looked at the sweat on her face and thought her clothes must be soaked.
"No problem. Now we'd better race against time to prepare the antidote. I'll write down the herbs. See how many there are in the General's Mansion. If there are none, we can think of a way. Although I've poisoned this, it can only last for three days. You must find all the herbs within three days." After saying this, Qingli's face was serious. He picked up the pen on the desk and wrote it down.
"All other medicinal materials are available, but I wonder if the last two most important ingredients are available?" Qingli handed it to the old general.
"I remember the late emperor gave Tianshan Snow Lotus to Prince Xiao's Mansion. I wonder if it can be used as medicine. What is this Fenglong Gallbladder?" The old general asked thoughtfully while holding the herbal medicine list.
"The phoenix dragon is a venomous snake with a rooster-like crest on its head. It is called the phoenix dragon snake because it is full of treasures, but it is difficult to catch in a hurry. It is cunning by nature and is said to spit out poison and imitate human voices..." Qingli also only got one, which was brought back by her master after hunting. The whole thing was very good, and she had used all of them.
"Grandfather, please prepare the other things first. I will go find the phoenix dragon gallbladder." Su Jinxiu said and was about to leave.
"Do you know where to catch him?" Su Jinyu asked
Su Jinxiu froze there.
"The phoenix, dragon and snake, most of their habitats are in Xiaoxiang. It's definitely not enough time to go back and forth. Let's think of other ways and gather other things first." Qingli went back to get the things she needed. After a short rest, she went back and wrote a letter to her master. Even if it disturbed the master's plan, she had to tell him about this matter, otherwise... she was afraid she couldn't bear to live.
"Then my grandson will go to Prince Xiao's Mansion." Su Jinxiu ran towards Prince Xiao's Mansion.
"Master, Young Master Su San is here," Qingfeng said
"He's here...? Let's go and take a look."
"Master Xiao, I have an unwelcome request." Su Jinxiu found it difficult to speak. After all, it was a matter of life and death, and he could not care less.
"You can talk as you like," Xiao Jue asked him to come in.
"I heard that the late emperor once gave me a Tianshan Snow Lotus. I wonder if you can sell it to me," Su Jinxiu said directly.
"Is it the old lady who needs it? Qingfeng, go check the warehouse."
"Yes"
"Thank you, my Lord. I will definitely give you a small amount of gold." Su Jinxiu looked at Xiao Jue with tears in his eyes and said
"Do you need anything else? Just this one?" Xiao Jue asked
"There is still one missing ingredient. I wonder if you have heard of the Phoenix Dragon Snake in Xiaoxiang? Its gallbladder is used as medicine. Master Qingli said that we only have three days..." Su Jinxiu seemed to put all his hopes on Xiao Jue.
"I've heard of this thing. It's very poisonous, but I don't have it in my house right now. Leave it to me. You take the snow lotus back and wait," Xiao Jue said with a firm look.
As if to make Su Jinxiu believe that he could find the phoenix dragon snake gallbladder, he took the Tianshan Snow Lotus and went back, even forgetting to thank him.
"Your Highness is really generous. There is only one Tianshan Snow Lotus, and it was a reward from the late emperor. How can you just give it away?" Concubine Liu spoke in a gloomy tone, and Prince Xiao couldn't help but frown.
"Yes, Jue'er, this thing is very precious..."
"The General's Mansion was bought with money. Besides, can't I even be the master? Then can't you just give the title of Crown Prince to your other son?" Xiao Jue didn't give them any face.
Even Bai Miaomiao, who was standing by, didn't dare to say a word. She hadn't seen him or spoken to him for a long time since Brother Jue sent her back from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
But Xiao Jue seemed to see her, took a look and left.
Just this one look is enough to make Bai Miaomiao happy for a long time
"This... Your Majesty, look at the prince~" Concubine Liu shook her body shyly and expressed her dissatisfaction
"Hey, you know he is like this, why are you criticizing him? By the way, when is that rebellious son going to come home? He is not planning to come back, right? The New Year is coming soon."
"I have sent him a letter by carrier pigeon. He should be here soon." Liu Xiangqin remembered Xiao Jue's last words. Since you despise the position of the crown prince, then leave it to Yu'er. Humph.
"Qingfeng, I'm going to be out for a while, maybe for a day or two. Don't let anyone know that I'm not in Prince Xiao's mansion." Xiao Jue put on his nightgown and prepared to leave.
"Master, are you going to look for the Fenglong Snake? But this is not Xiaoxiang, and it... is too poisonous. Master, please let me go." Qingfeng knelt down and begged
"Will it not be so strong if I let you get rid of the poison?" Xiao Jue asked back?
"This...at least I..."
"Okay, you've followed me through thick and thin. If you let a snake poison Qinghu to death, they'll laugh at you. Don't worry, I know there are phoenixes, dragons and snakes in the swamps outside the city." He then disappeared in a flash.
Inside the palace
"Your Majesty, there is no poison in the wine." Gu Xiao and Su Luobai found out that the conclusion was true.
After hearing this, the queen relaxed her tense body and slumped down on the chair.
Then I heard Su Luobai say, "The cup that my mother used to drink running water was replaced. This is a clean cup without any alcohol in it."
Just like that, another round of thorough investigation began, investigating the palace maids and eunuchs, thousands of people in the entire palace, and the main focus was on those who were on duty on the day of the palace banquet.
Finally, there were voices of opposition asking Su Luobai to avoid suspicion. Just as he was about to get angry, he was stopped by Gu Xiao, "Master Su, leave this matter to me, don't worry."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Governor." Su Luobai also knew that he had to kiss in person to avoid suspicion, but his mother was poisoned and vomited blood in front of him. They had been cautious but still made mistakes. What if Jiu'er knew about it?
The people from the Dali Temple came to report, "We searched for a palace maid named Xiaoru but couldn't find her. Finally, we found her in a well, but she was dead."
The clues he had obtained were gone again... Su Luobai gave him a look, and he begged the coroner to perform an autopsy.
The emperor had given Gu Xiao full authority to investigate, so he waved his sleeves and went back to bed.
Gu Xiao saw that this person was Su Luobai's right-hand man, so he agreed. Since he had avoided suspicion, he said goodbye and went back to see the situation...
Mother, you must hold on, Su Luobai prayed in her heart, and hurried to the General's Mansion as fast as possible.
