Zhong Guo was flipping through the letters in the orderly display in the basement, and only then did he realize that those blue bottles and jars were filled with poison. The colors went from light to dark, and the darker they were, the more poisonous they were.
The second half of the handbook contains the solutions to those poisons.
Full of joy, he took off his outer robe, rolled up all the bottles and cans, and packed them up. With these things, as long as he could go out, even if he could not enter the depths of the Western Region, he could go back to do business.
Zhong Guo thought it was nice and simple, but he planned to go out only to find that he had no way out. He stayed there for nearly a month and was so hungry that he even started taking poison pills and then antidote pills to satisfy his hunger.
Just when he thought he might starve to death in this basement, he seemed to smell the fragrance of pear blossoms.
fragrance!
Where did the scent come from? He used his last strength to cheer up and searched for the scent to find a ventilated place behind a cabinet.
Zhong Guo's nearly extinguished eyes suddenly lit up, and then he realized that he had been starving these days and had no time to think about it. If it was really a closed space, he would have suffocated to death.
Since it is ventilated, it must lead to the outside.
Zhong Guo used his hands to forcibly dig out a path. Xiao Guo had a meritorious service he wanted to make, and there was a girl waiting for her in the Shi Mansion.
Relying on that faint fragrance as his belief, he crawled out of the underground room. After returning to Jicheng after all the hardships, he learned the news that Miss Shi Fu had received the blessing of the Holy Family and was granted the title of Eternal Being.
Zhong Guo didn't even go to see Gu Xingyun first, so he set off back to Beijing. He killed six fast horses along the way before he rushed back to Chang'an with wounds all over his body.
However, Shi Fuli has already entered the palace and the draft has been completed. Although he is only a small permanent presence, he will be killed if he resists the decree.
She... couldn't walk.
That night, Shi Fuli's eyes were red from crying, and her pear blossoms were filled with rain.
That night, Zhong Guo's long-standing loyalty was shaken.
He just wished that the girl in front of him, who was crying to the point of breaking his heart, could stop his tears.
You can do anything you ask him to do...
Li Fei stopped sobbing, her red and swollen eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, they no longer had the clear eyes before, but there was a touch of determination in them.
She looked sad, but her tone was firm and stern as she said: "I want to make my own decisions in the future of my life."
Zhong Guo couldn't persuade her to fly away, but he couldn't bear to leave her alone in the palace.
What's more, with Shi Fuli's expectant eyes and that voice, he was her only support.
Zhong Guo returned to Prince Hui's Mansion as she said, but he kept silent about the secret room and the poison.
Shi Fuli entered the palace according to the order, and according to her step-by-step plan, Zhong Guo secretly kept that group of people during a mission to wipe out the killer organization, and even changed their appearance and renamed Lingmen.
And he relied on the poisons brought out from the basements in the Western Region to control the entire mausoleum gate.
Every time the emperor had a hidden guard removed from his position, he would secretly transfer him to the mausoleum gate without leaving a trace. Because of this unique way of attracting talents, this organization grew stronger day by day.
From the initial few dozen people, it grew to several thousand people at its peak.
And these people were specially used to assassinate foreign officials who were against Li Fei.
It seems to have nothing to do with the imperial court, but what is gradually being swallowed up is the internal and external policies of the entire Xiao Kingdom.
The reason why Du Hanfei was able to cover the sky with one hand was that Jiangzhou and Anhui Province were his territory at that time, but in fact, Li Fei had already controlled everything secretly.
He is responsible for taking over power, and Li Fei is responsible for helping him clear all obstacles.
Whether they are officials, businessmen, citizens, smuggling, or enriching their own pockets, anyone who speaks out will die an untimely death.
People in the sect who assassinated officials would be silenced afterwards, which is why Raven never knew about the collusion between the mausoleum sect and the government.
Because those people are all dead.
Even Du Hanfei himself didn't know that the head of the Ling Sect who helped him handle these matters received two or four cents of his silver every year.
The real beneficiary is Li Fei.
She has never shown up, and although her income is 10% less than Du Hanfei's, it is much safer than his sharp edge...
What's more, what's more important than money is the handle of those officials. Li Fei also knows all about it, but no one has ever known what she did behind the scenes.
Concubine Li also tried to place her own people in Prince Hui's Mansion, but Gu Shiqing was deeply in love with the princess. In the end, Concubine Li had no choice but to ask Zhong Guo to drug Gu Shiqing, forcing him to accept Wei Yuanyuan as his concubine.
After Wei Yuanyuan gave birth to Gu Duanfei, she also selected Tian Yuchen as his teacher.
After Gu Shiqing stayed in Beijing for several years, Zhong Guo was also sent back to the emperor by Gu Shiqing. The emperor's hidden guards were full, so he was sent to Xiao Mubai as a secret guard.
At that time, Shi Fuli also gave birth to Xiao Yanjun and became a talented person from Chang Zai.
When Xiao Mubai was four years old, it was Zhong Guo who poisoned the ginseng soup he served to the emperor with burning poison. Therefore, Zhao Lansheng died in order to detoxify the emperor and pass away.
The Marquis lost his wife, and Xia Chu lost his biological mother.
Chang'an City is also missing a beautiful couple that everyone envies.
Later, Xiao Mubai grew up safely to the age of thirteen, and the ice poison in his body never became poisonous.
The emperor moved the prince's thoughts, so Concubine Li took advantage of Pang Weiguang's birthday to launch an assassination at the mausoleum gate against Xiao Mubai who was heading to the western suburbs.
Who would have thought that during the assassination, the ice poison in Xiao Mubai's body suddenly broke out.
After being poisoned, Xiao Mubai jumped into the lake and rescued a child when he was being chased. The child had a plum blossom on his head.
It was this scene that made Zhong Guo, who had been hiding in the dark, feel a sudden convulsive pain in his heart.
The moment Xiao Mubai pulled the child out of the water, those scenes that Zhong Guo thought he had forgotten came to his mind again.
He recalled Shi Fuli's stubborn look when she rescued him, and the way she held a pear blossom that glowed all over.
This child has been with him for ten years. Zhong Guo has been with him since he was three years old and watched him grow up little by little. He couldn't bear to end the child's life, so he finally showed up and hugged him. Take him back to the palace.
Now that Xiao Mubai has been poisoned and seriously injured, after this experience, it is no longer possible for the emperor to appoint him as his heir, and Concubine Li's purpose has been achieved.
This was the first time that Zhong Guo had disobeyed Concubine Li. It was also because he cared about the ten years of getting along day and night that Xiao Mubai survived the assassination that year.
Although Concubine Li was dissatisfied with his benevolence, in the end the emperor gave up the idea of appointing Xiao Mubai as his crown prince.
This matter will be settled.
After recovering from his injury, Xiao Mubai's personality became more calm and cold, and he only trusted Zhong Guo more and more.
Until a war broke out on the border, Xiao Mubai asked Ying to go on an expedition. After the war subsided, he was stationed in Yucheng. One day, Xiao Mubai suddenly asked Zhong Guo to take people to investigate the Western Regions.
