Hearing these words, Ji Hengxuan moved his fingers inadvertently.
"Xuan."
Xie Weixing still dragged a black robe slowly into the hall, his expression still as calm and lazy as ever, as if everyone and everything was indifferent, and as if everyone and everything was paid attention to by him.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty." He still did not kneel down, and the Emperor did not pay attention.
It's just that he said "minor official", and I don't know what official position he held.
"Hengxuan, long time no see." Xie Weixing turned to look at Ji Hengxuan and said hello leisurely.
Ji Hengxuan was still smiling, but there was a trace of seriousness on his cold face: "It turns out to be Brother Xie, I haven't seen him for a long time."
"Did someone ask Hengxuan to treat the illness? But Wei Xing didn't seem to have heard that anyone in the palace was sick!" Xie Weixing said pretending to be surprised.
Ji Hengxuan glanced at Su Liuyuan, who had his head lowered, and nodded: "I am not here to treat a disease, but to marry Prince Yunji of Dali to your country."
After hearing Ji Hengxuan's words, Xie Weixing's smile gradually deepened, and his eyebrows became more leisurely like distant mountains.
The emperor on the throne saw that the two of them seemed to know each other, and couldn't help but ask: "Wei Xing, how did you get to know the special envoy?"
If you ask other ministers this question, it will be troublesome. Nan Qi and Dali are at war. If he suddenly met Dali's key ministers at this time, wouldn't he be charged with treason? But this person is from the Xie family, so that's a different matter.
"Back to the emperor, Wei Chen and Master Ji are still old acquaintances. It is indeed unusual to meet here now, but I am still overjoyed. Master Ji, do you think so or not?" Xie Weixing looked at Ji Hengxuan with his cold eyes. .
Ji Hengxuan said with a smile in his eyes: "It is indeed an old acquaintance." Although the words were simple, he meant every word tightly.
"My concubine Zhen has an old illness and has been bedridden. This time it happened that the descendants of the Ji family came to Nanqi, hoping to ask the special envoy to take a look. However, I have also heard of Ji family's rules. Wei Xing, can Can you break his rules?"
Xie Weixing paused, glanced at Ji Hengxuan, and smiled: "Your Majesty, Ji's rules never make exceptions for outsiders. Unless you ask others to pass his three tests, you can only test the medicine with your life."
The Ji family is from a medical family, and their golden needle skills are legendary. Although they don't have the flesh and bones of the living dead, they can still compete with the King of Hell for their lives. However, Ji's legendary medical methods are not for everyone. The Ji family has a training that if you want to treat others, you need to test the medicine for Ji.
Some people have once dismissed it and just tried the medicine. What's so difficult? But Ji's medicine is poison. Dali is full of poisons, and what is incompatible with the poisons is naturally the antidote, and most of the antidote is in the hands of the Ji family. Therefore, many people who use poison in Dali are hostile to the Ji family. If the Ji family wants to survive, they must constantly find people to test new drugs for the survival of their family and their own safety.
Now the Ji family has a history of 500 years, and the person in front of me is the seventh generation descendant. Compared with the founding ancestor Ji, Ji Hengxuan was always better than his master in using needles to administer medicine or attack poisons. Because many people come to seek treatment, they dare not try his medicine, because he proposes that the person being treated does not need to try medicine, but the person who seeks treatment must pass his three tests, otherwise, he will just die without saving. That's why the emperor was so afraid of him.
"Which three levels?"
"Your Majesty, do you want to give it a try?" Ji Hengxuan asked with a half-smile as he glanced at the emperor.
At this time, Su Liuyuan suddenly raised his head and said, "Which three levels are there? Let me give it a try!"
As soon as Su Liuyuan said these words, Xie Weixing glared at her: "No!"
"no."
The other person who refused was Ji Hengxuan.
Seeing the entanglement between the three people, the emperor also frowned and said: "Nonsense! If something happens to the princess, how can the marriage between the two countries still be connected? How can you make fun of yourself? Make fun of Nan Qi?"
"Your Majesty, I am not joking. I just want to do my last for the Emperor and for Nan Qi before I leave! Doesn't the Emperor even give Liuyuan this last chance to show off?" Su Liuyuan raised his head and looked directly at her. emperor.
The emperor's words were blocked for a moment, and he was suddenly speechless. Xie Weixing's brows did not relax, and he said firmly again: "No."
Su Liuyuan stood up slowly, faced his worried gaze, and smiled: "Mr. Xie, are you afraid that I will lose?"
Su Liuyuan is very beautiful today. Although her figure is still thin, at this time, her confidence and radiance make her like a young fruit slowly blooming with her original charm. It is so dazzling and eye-catching. Ashamed of oneself.
The three levels proposed by Ji Hengxuan are actually just three tests. If you pass it, you are really lucky, but if you can't survive it... unless Ji Hengxuan is willing to take action. It is said that so far, only three people have passed its three levels.
So when Ji Hengxuan saw that she was about to try, he had to become serious: "Princess Princess, are you sure you want to pass these three levels of mine?"
Su Liuyuan raised her chin slightly, raised her eyebrows and said, "How?"
Ji Hengxuan's expression turned cold, and he snorted: "Then don't regret it!"
Xie Weixing didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes were dark and unclear. But even he himself didn't notice that the hands hidden under the wide sleeves gradually clenched into fists.
The first step is to pick out one of the many herbs and taste it. The herbs inside range from poisonous to common herbs.
Su Liuyuan looked at the rows of grasses of various colors in front of her, and her brows relaxed inadvertently. It turned out that she was just identifying the medicinal herbs.
She looked back and forth in front of the herbs. Ji Hengxuan behind her stared closely at her figure. Xie Weixing lowered his eyes, and there was silence in the hall for a moment!
Suddenly she saw a leaf like a chrysanthemum leaf, which looked familiar, so she reached out and gently picked it out, held it to the tip of her nose and smelled it. She arched her eyebrows and put the leaf into her mouth without hesitation. Chewed.
"Are you really not afraid of death?" Not only Ji Hengxuan was curious, but also the maids guarding the palace looked at her in surprise.
"Of course I'm afraid of death. However, the leaf I ate is not poisonous. On the contrary, it is good for me!" Su Liuyuan said after swallowing the leaf in her mouth.
Xie Weixing's stiff body immediately relaxed, and he asked quietly: "What is the second level of Hengxuan?"
Ji Hengxuan looked back at him in surprise: "Don't worry, it's coming soon."
The second level is still a test of medicine, but this time it is a plate of worms.
As soon as Su Liuyuan turned her head and saw what was in front of her, she felt nauseated and quickly turned her face away.
"If the princess doesn't dare to try, it's better to give up now, lest she lose her dignity and life. Besides, I have to take the princess back to Dali to marry Prince Yunji. No matter how you look at it, I will suffer the loss."
Hearing this, Su Liuyuan endured the bursts of discomfort and tried to keep her eyes locked on the various insects on the plate. The first dish was disgusting maggots. Although they were cooked, those fat and soft objects still made her think a lot. The second plate contained spiders, which were also cooked and dark in color. You could tell at a glance that they were extremely poisonous. The third plate is an unknown species, somewhat like a seven-star worm but with a white surface. However, this plate is alive. The fourth plate was filled with purple mush that was just about to move like jelly. The fifth set is Thousand-Legged Centipede.
After closing her eyes, Su Liuyuan mustered up the courage to pick up the plate of purple paste and was about to swallow it when a hand stretched out from the side and stopped her.
"Can you let me come this time?" Xie Weixing looked back at Ji Hengxuan.
Ji Hengxuan chuckled and raised his hand to brush the snow-white hair hanging down on his chest: "Brother Xie, since he is willing to take action voluntarily, he can do it, but I can't guarantee the consequences."
After Xie Weixing got his answer, without saying a word, he raised his head and poured the purple object into his mouth. Su Liuyuan didn't even have a chance to stop him and watched him drink it.
"Hmph..." After swallowing, Xie Weixing's forehead soon became beaded with beads of sweat. Su Liuyuan anxiously supported him and asked quickly: "How are you?"
The emperor who was sitting there was also shocked. He stood up and said with concern: "Here, please send Doctor Lu to come quickly!"
Xie Weixing's face gradually turned pale, and his whole body seemed as weak as a piece of white paper that was about to be blown away by the wind at any time. After sitting down unsteadily, he closed his eyes, and Su Liuyuan did not dare to disturb him.
"What the hell is that?"
"Purple blood sunflower."
