Chapter 106: Fear of life and death

Views:

Several doctors from the Imperial Physician's Office were being dragged from the bed by Fanzi. They didn't have time to put on their shoes, so they put on their robes and were caught on the horse. Another Fanzi helped carry the medicine box, and a group of people rushed directly to Shen. government. The wives and concubines all thought that their husband had done something wrong, so they held the door and cried.

The doctors cringed and shrank into the room. It was so silent that a needle could be heard falling to the ground. Shen Jue sat on the edge of the bed, half-holding a person and motionless. When Shen Wenxing saw that the imperial physician had arrived, he hunched over and leaned beside Shen Jue and said softly, "Father, the imperial physician is here, please let go."

Shen Jue put him down as if he had just woken up from a dream. Several doctors saw that he was in a state of despair, and did not dare to ask any more questions. Everyone rolled their eyelids, opened their mouths, and Qi Qiao checked them all before retreating and discussing with their heads.

Xia Houlin had a handkerchief tied on his forehead and lay unconscious in the gauze tent. He was usually alive and well, but now he was like a wood carving. His face was also pale, as if it was about to become transparent, and it would disappear in an instant. Shen Jue's heart seemed to be held tightly by someone, and it was difficult to even breathe.

Shen Wenxing ordered to bring the wine jug that Xia Houlin drank, scraped out the remaining wine liquid inside and checked it with a silver needle, it was not poisonous. A doctor was dipping a little wine on his finger and tasting it on the tip of his tongue, his face changed, and he said, "It's a trembling voice."

Shen Jue's face was gloomy, "Tan Sheng Jiao can only help the feelings, not make people bleed. What did you find out after watching for so long? If you don't save people, our family asks you to go to the prison to see a doctor for yourself!"

The doctor was shocked, took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and said hurriedly: "This gentleman's seven orifices are bleeding and his limbs are numb. Looking at the symptoms, he must have given medicine. Among the common poisons, only Tie Niu Qihe Aconitum can make people bleed from the seven orifices, but the medicinal properties of Tie Niu Qi and Aconitum are fierce, the tongue is red and yellow, and the pulse is strong. Looking at the food that Xiang Gongjin eats, there is nothing to find out except for Zhenshengjiao. Chang Gong is serving in the palace, and he should be very clear about Zhenshengjiao. This medicine is useless except to help emotions. No one can die for a while. This... I'll wait... "

Shen Jue squeezed his fists until his knuckles cracked, raised his hand and waved, and the tea bowl on the kang table smashed all over the floor. Everyone in the room knelt down, shaking like a sieve. Shen Jue sneered and said, "After talking for a long time, you can't even diagnose any poison. It seems that you are determined to go to jail!" Several doctors were begging for mercy, and Shen Jue turned to look at Xiahou Rong. , my heart is sour. Xia Houlin's seven orifices were no longer bleeding, but he was still in a coma. After knowing him for so long, it was the first time Shen Jue saw him look so weak, except when he had a seizure in the palace in July and a half.

Wait, it's half July! Shen Jue was startled, and said, "It's a wiggly flower."

The doctors looked at each other in dismay, and hurriedly came together to check the pulse again, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it is the secret medicine of Galan for seven and a half months. The factory owner should not be in a hurry, if it is only seven and a half months, just continue to take the flower People can slow down, and let's think about the rest."

"No, I still keep Fang Cunzhen's recipe," Shen Jue pointed at Shen Wenxing, "Go get the recipe and the pills."

Shen Wenxing hurriedly picked up his robe and ran out, and after a while he brought back a sandalwood box. Shen Jue opened the box, took out the prescription, and handed it to the doctor. The original pills had been put on hold for too long and could no longer be used. Shen Wenxing hurriedly ordered someone to pick up the medicine for decoction. There was a small pharmacy in Shen's house, and the usual Chuan Dahuang, Huang Cen, and Shanzhizi Ren'er could be caught. However, it took time to decoct the medicine. Seeing that the casserole wouldn't open, little by little, Xia Houlin closed his eyes tightly, only the breath out but not the breath in, Shen Jue panicked so much that his whole body was about to collapse.

On weekdays, he was strategizing, and the soldiers came to block the water and the soil. What made him panic? Only Xia Houlin, only he can make him feel at a loss. With trembling hands, he held Xia Houlin's hand tightly, regardless of whether the doctor was around or not, as if as long as he held it like this, Xia Houlin would not leave him.

Shen Wenxing was also anxious, looking at Shen Jue's appearance, he seemed to have lost his mind. But that's not a problem, he sighed and stepped forward to remind: "Godfather, the murderer has not been caught. It's not clear how the seven and a half months came here, maybe it has something to do with this trembling voice. Qiu Lubai is The bustard from Yunxian Tower personally brought it, we have to go get someone."

Shen Jue murmured: "Yes, you are right, I was confused, and now is not the time to panic." He stepped off his feet and turned to the outside. Shen Jue took a deep breath and said, "The person has sealed the Yunxian Tower and brought the bustard over, and our family will interrogate them in person. The people in the house will also be interrogated. Let's find out for our family. July and a half... It's really a good method. If you can't kill someone in July and a half, you can't find the poisonous Shit Shengjiao. This is to use our family's knife to kill!"

Shen Jue slammed his fist on the square table, gnashing his teeth.

The hateful thing is that he still doesn't know where the damned Yama is hiding, he must have a side identity, otherwise how can he hide so tightly? Shen Jue's mind turned sharply, and one by one, he checked the powerful officials in Shuobei and Jingli, the leaders of the underground underworld, and all of them were recorded in Dongchang.

After getting the fans, they filed out one by one, and the medicine was finally cooked. Shen Wenxing took it and handed it to Shen Jue. Shen Jue lifted his robe and sat on the couch, feeding it to Xiahou Lin with a spoon. He gritted his teeth and couldn't get the medicine in, so Shen Jue was stunned, he blew the medicine soup cold, and pried open his teeth and poured the medicine inside. Half an hour after drinking the medicine, Xia Houlin did not intend to wake up. Shen Jue became more and more panicked, what was the situation back then? How long did Xiahou's mother take him back to wake up? No, he remembered it wrong, Xia Houlin was not in a coma at that time.

His heart was aching, he turned around and grabbed a doctor, grabbed his collar with a grim face, "Why isn't he awake yet?"

Yi Zheng also frowned, "Xiao Chen... Xiao Chen doesn't know."

He was about to despair. July and a half was a strange poison. Back then, Xiahou Pei said that he needed to take it once a year. He later found out about the consequences. The Galan Assassins and Dark Stakes he captured would fall into long-term numbness if they didn't take their medicines on time. They lost their five senses, and their consciousness was completely closed. Although they had breathing and heartbeats, they were useless to the dead. .

Had it been too long, he thought sadly. The doctor was standing with his head bowed, and the servants all fell silent and knelt on the ground. He looked upset, drove everyone out, and sat back next to Xia Houlin. Looking at him intently, his limbs were numb, and his blood was blocked. Maybe a pinch would relieve it.

He started rubbing and beating from Xia Houlin's arm. I learned a lot of massage techniques when I was a little eunuch in the past. Wuhuaquan made it the most slippery. He pressed Xia Houlin's hands, legs and feet again, his skin was red and hot, and he just hoped that he would wake up sooner.

Before the person woke up, the stall head and Ti Qi who went to catch the person came back first. As soon as he entered the door, he brought bad news that the bustard had already committed suicide. When I arrived at Yunxian Tower, I only saw her body. Except for the neck, there was no sign of struggle and beating. It was hanged by herself. With a cold face, he said bitterly: "The action is fast. It's such a big Yunxianlou, we don't believe that there is only one bustard who is a dark stake in Galan, screening everyone, and pulling out their teeth, lest they bite their tongues and commit suicide, no matter what the punishment is. Well, just use it, and make sure to find out why."

Shen Wenxing said embarrassingly, "Is that girl Achu also going to be punished? She is an old acquaintance of Lord Xiahou. If she has been thrown in this prison, I'm afraid she won't have half her life left."

Shen Jue squeezed the lapis lazuli falling corner on her wrist so hard that her fingertips turned white, "The one I hate the most is this woman. If I hadn't rescued her, how could Ah Lin be in such a situation."

Seeing how he looked so eager to get rid of him and then quickly, everyone understood in their hearts. Ganqing is a father and son on the surface, but is actually a concubine. But this kind of thing often happens, it is not uncommon for Shen Jue to have such a high-ranking position and to have a servant. Everyone is a confidant and knows the truth of pretending to be deaf and dumb. A stall head surnamed Bai cupped his hands and said: "I also noticed something, the prostitutes in Yunxianlou all took the fruit of bliss, although it is very common to gather people to take medicine in the fireworks and willow alleys, but this group The prostitutes came out and said that their fruit of bliss was given by the bustard."

"It seems that this bustard is the key, but unfortunately it's gone." Shen Wenxing said with a bitter face.

"We also found a corpse in the firewood room of Yunxian Building. It was a laundry boy named Xiahou, who also hanged himself. However, we checked his household registration and found that it was fake. It was probably bought from an underground underworld. It is very likely that this person is also a dark pile of Jialan, and like the bustard, he was silenced." The stall said again.

"Xiahou?" Shen Jue frowned, "Have you ever seen your face, what does it look like, is it the same as Xiahou's wanted warrant? Did you ever put on makeup and wear a human skin mask?"

Dongchang has been looking for a long time, and this head is also well aware of it, and immediately said: "It's never changed, and it looks different from Lord Xiahou before, so it shouldn't be the brother of the Lord."

Looking at this appearance, even if Yunxianlou is related to Jialan, it is now completely broken. Shen Jue walked to the flower window, closed her eyes deeply, "Continue the trial, come back to me if you find out."

Everyone answered yes, and went out one after another. Shen Jue stood for a long time, then suddenly stopped them and said, "That one called A Chu, interrogate her, and if there is nothing wrong with her, then put her under house arrest in Yunxian Tower, not allowed. go out."

The stall owners took the call and went to work on their own.

The room fell silent again, Shen Jue went back inside, lifted the tent and looked at Xia Houlin, his silent, silent, motionless appearance made Shen Jue worried. Shen Jue touched his hand, touched his face again, and called out his name sadly, "A-Lin, A-Lin, why are you still not awake? Get up quickly, as long as you are willing to wake up, I will depend on you for everything. Whether it's eldest lady or being your daughter-in-law, it's all up to you. You can do whatever you want. Don't you want to take me to kowtow in front of your mother-in-law? It's almost dawn, are you going to break your promise? "

He didn't move, Shen Jue lay down, face to face with him, his breathing was light, as if he was going to die in an instant. It was cured in July and a half early tomorrow, but why did it relapse again? Shen Jue closed her eyes, her nose was sore.

The night slowly came to an end, and the horizon lit up, as if a lamp had been lit, supporting the light of one side of the sky. Shen Jue fell asleep unconsciously in the second half of the night, woke up when he heard the rooster crows, just opened his eyes, and met a pair of black eyes. He came back to his senses, couldn't believe it like a dream, and asked him in a trembling voice, "You're awake! How are you feeling, but better? Can you move? Are you thirsty, do you want some tea?"

Just as Xia Hourong was about to speak, Shen Jue got up in a hurry and called out to Shen Wenxing in a loud voice, "Call the imperial doctor, come over and see if you need any more medicine to drink, is the poison cleared?"

Shen Wenxing came in with his clothes on. Seeing that Xia Houlin was already awake, he smiled and said, "It's good now, but I'm awake, but you don't know that your godfather is in a hurry." He tied the belt and drove out for work People go to the doctor.

Taking advantage of this free time, Shen Jue fixedly looked at him, seeing that he was indeed alive, and felt fortunate in his heart. He hugged the person into his arms and hugged him tightly until he felt real, that the person had really come back, it was not a dream or a hallucination. His eyes were hot and he was about to cry again. Xia Houlin patted him on the back lightly and called out "Young Master" in a low voice.

Xia Houlin had just woken up, and his body was still not very neat. Shen Jue helped him lean against the bedpost, rubbed his hand, and said, "This time I have to make up for it, you don't know how much blood you bleed before, you thought you were going to be blind, deaf, or dumb, Fortunately, it's all right. After drinking the medicine at noon, eat some pig liver and duck blood or something to make up for the blood."

Xia Houlin let out an "um" and closed his eyes, looking like he wanted to sleep again.

Shen Jue was a little afraid that he would not be able to wake up again, so he said, "I don't know what's going on, didn't you already detox five years ago? I checked everything and found nothing."

Xia Houlin opened his eyes and stared quietly at the dim morning light outside the window. This quiet look is not like his usual, there is an indescribable feeling in Shen Jue's heart. Xia Houlin watched for a while, then turned to look at Shen Jue, and said in a hoarse voice, "Master, let me tell you something."

Shen Jue's heart slowly tightened, and she asked in a calm voice, "What's the matter?"

Xia Houlin said: "There may be something wrong with the medicinal tea that Xian Xin gave me back then."
