"En!" Murong Xue nodded heavily, and said word by word: "This picture of cedar trees is not simply painted with ink, the ink used to paint it is mixed with poppies."
"Poppy? What is that?" The general's wife frowned in confusion.
"It is a kind of poison. After taking it, people will gradually become addicted to it, and they can no longer quit it. As the toxin increases day by day, people will become thinner and weaker. In a few years at most, they will be able to Let a martial arts master become a useless person..." Murong Xue said word by word, slowly walked to the cedar picture, took off the red jade hairpin in the bun, and gently scraped the cedar picture with the tip of the hairpin After scraping, a small wisp of white powder fell down...
The general's wife reached out her hand to catch a little bit of powder, twisted it carefully, and a wisp of breath floated out from her fingertips. The powder was indeed medicine foam, not paper foam.
The general's wife's complexion turned very ugly in an instant. She blatantly tried to harm her husband without harming her husband, so she used this kind of conspiracy to harm her husband. It was really insidious, despicable and shameless.
The general's wife stretched out her hand and tore off the cedar picture, and tore it to pieces in twos and twos. Countless white powders floated out of the painting and scattered in all directions. She was determined to put her husband to death.
Throwing the shredded paper into the brazier with a wave of hands, burning it clean, and double checking that there was nothing left, the general's wife raised her head and looked at Murong Xue: "Xue'er, your uncle didn't take poppy poison, he just lived in the room with it. It’s been a while since I’ve sat there, it shouldn’t be a big deal…”
Murong Xue shook her head: "After the poppy landed on this painting, it emitted a poisonous smell. Uncle sat in the study for so long and inhaled the poison of the poppy every day. I'm afraid he has already been poisoned deeply..."
Shen Yue was not yet forty years old, and he was in the prime of life, but he was exhausted from looking for A Li, and he didn't recover after resting for a day and a night. After that, every time he appeared in front of people, his face was always the same. Exhausted and haggard, everything is enough to prove that he was poisoned by poppies, and the poisoning was quite deep...
Normally, he came to the study room every day to smoke poppy poison, his body and complexion tended to be normal, and others couldn't see his abnormality, but during the few days when he was looking for A Li, he didn't come to the study room and didn't smoke poppy poison, so his body suddenly appeared problem...
What Murong Xue thought of, the general's wife also thought of, the last trace of luck left in her heart disappeared without a trace, her face was so dark that it was about to drip ink: "Who on earth wants to harm your husband?"
Naturally, it is Shen Yue's enemy, or someone who dislikes him! But the coverage is too large, and I can't find out many clues for a while: "The most urgent thing is to find uncle and help him detoxify!" Murong Xue paused every word, with serious eyes.
"Detoxification?" The general's wife frowned slightly, obviously not understanding what Murong Xue meant.
Murong Xue smiled softly: "The poison of poppy cannot be cured, so it can only be forcibly quit. The specific implementation method will be understood when I see my uncle!"
"Okay, let's go find your uncle now!" The general's wife said in a low voice, grabbed Murong Xue's hand, and led her to walk out quickly, saying as she walked, "After you quit poppy poison, you Will uncle recover as before?"
"This... I can't guarantee it, it depends on my uncle's physical condition!" Shen Yue had smoked poppies for more than a year, and there were already quite a few problems in his body. What can I guarantee: "However, I will try my best to restore my uncle's health to the best..."
"That's good!" The general's wife heaved a sigh of relief, Gao Xuan's heart was slightly relieved, she pulled Murong Xue out of the study, and a slender figure walked over from the opposite side. Yan.
Seeing the general's wife, Murong Xue hurried out together, Shen Yan asked puzzled: "Mother, cousin Xue'er, you are in such a hurry, where are you going?"
"Go and find your father, is he still in the barracks?" The general's wife spoke first: A few hours ago, my husband learned that something happened in the barracks and he needed to deal with it himself, so he hurried to the barracks with two guards.
Shen Yan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words: "Father has been back a long time ago, hasn't he returned home?"
"No." The general's wife shook her head, she was at home the whole time, and she didn't see Shen Yue coming back at all...
"Where did the father go?" Shen Yan frowned slightly: "Could it be that he met friends halfway, chatted with them, and went drinking..."
"Impossible, look at the current time, it's too late for lunch, too early for dinner, how could he go out drinking with friends..." The general's wife shook her head and rejected Shen Yan's guess.
"Then where did father go?" Shen Yan frowned even tighter: when his father left the barracks, he had written two urgent and important letters and was about to send them to the capital. Because he was worried about the deputy general by his side, he went there himself He searched for urgent soldiers eight hundred miles away, so he couldn't come back with his father. According to his father's speed, he should return half an hour earlier than him...
"Something happened to your father, something happened..." the general's wife said incoherently, her eyes full of anxiety.
"Mother, don't worry, father's martial arts are so high, and there are guards by his side, nothing will happen." Shen Yan stepped forward quickly, comforting the general's wife.
"If it was in the past, my uncle should have no accidents, but now it is no longer possible. My uncle has been poisoned by poppies for many years, and his body has become dependent on poppies. He has not inhaled the breath of poppies for many days. His body has become weaker and he will be poisoned at any time. Fuck, life is worse than death, when the time comes, anyone can put him to death..." Murong Xue said suddenly, her cold eyes flashed with rare seriousness.
Shen Yan's eyes froze: "Really?"
"It's absolutely true." Murong Xue nodded heavily, looked at the general's wife seriously, and Shen Yan said: "Aunt, cousin, quickly think about where uncle usually goes, or where he is most likely to be! The sooner you find your uncle, the better." There were so many things going on in the military camp, and Shen Yue's expression was always exhausted, it was basically impossible to turn halfway to drink tea and chat with friends, he has not been seen until now, and there are eight out of ten that something happened.
Shen Yan realized the seriousness of the matter, quickly calmed down, frowned and pondered: "Father will not meet friends at this time, restaurants and teahouses can be excluded, father never buys clothes, and clothing shops can also be excluded... Although my father likes calligraphy and painting , but the Painting and Calligraphy Studio is in the completely opposite direction from the General’s Mansion, so it is unlikely that he will turn to the Painting and Calligraphy Studio…”
"Wait, the calligraphy and painting studio you mentioned is a place that sells calligraphy, paintings and antiques?" Murong Xue interrupted Shen Yan's words in a deep voice, and looked at him without blinking.
"Yes." Shen Yan nodded lightly: "Calligraphy and Painting Studio is the largest calligraphy, painting and antique shop in Liangcheng. The calligraphy, painting and antiques inside are mostly treasures. That's where I bought my father's cedar picture..."
When Murong Xue heard this, her cold eyes narrowed sharply: "I think I know where Uncle is now."
Shen Yan's eyes froze: "Where is it?"
Murong Xue's cherry lips parted slightly, and said three words coldly: "Calligraphy and Painting Studio."
