Thousands of years

Lin Ruoqing who was on the ground said, "For some reason, this woman suddenly went berserk. She yelled and yelled, and even overturned the table, causing both of us brothers to suffer. Now this woman pretends to be dizzy and wants to escape. It's impossible, Master Qiu Zhan will make the decision for us."

After hearing what he said, Zhan Zhao pointed to the unconscious Lin Ruoqing on the ground, and asked incredulously, "You said she suddenly went berserk and hurt you?"

"That's right. Everyone here can testify." The man said with certainty.

Zhan Zhao didn't speak, but turned around, walked up to Lin Ruoqing, knelt down, grabbed her wrist, roughly felt her pulse, then lifted Lin Ruoqing's eyelids to look, "Lord Zhan, Ruoqing What's the matter?" Lin Laohan asked choked up.

Zhan Zhao suppressed the faint stabbing pain in his heart, shook his head lightly, then stood up, and said to the two of them, "This girl didn't pretend to be dizzy, but really fainted. According to Zhan, the two of you The injury is not serious, and there will be losses for Yuanju, why don't you let them compensate you for your medical expenses, and ask the two to extend the treatment to the doctor, and let it go, what do you think?"

The two brothers glanced at each other, then at Lin Ruoqing on the ground and the old man Lin who had no idea what to do, and finally one of them said, "Okay, give us 20 taels of silver, and we two brothers won't pursue it anymore. .”

"20 taels? Are you too daring to open your mouth? Do you want so much?" Old man Lin finally couldn't help standing up when he heard this, and retorted.

Zhan Zhao waved his hand at old man Lin, took out a bag of silver from his pocket, handed it to the two brothers, and said, "This is 20 taels of silver. You can leave if you are fine."

The two brothers took the silver and weighed it, with happy faces, completely ignoring the contempt in the eyes of the people around them, one after the other, they left the waiting room.

Seeing the two of them go out, Zhan Zhao hurriedly said to the old man Lin beside him: "Zhan went out to hire a sedan chair, Mr. Lin, you should tidy up roughly, and immediately take Ruoqing to Kaifeng Mansion to seek treatment from Mr. Gongsun."

"Oh, good." Old man Lin had no idea at all at the moment, so he naturally listened to Zhan Zhao.

The sedan chair was quickly hired, and Zhan Zhao picked up Lin Ruoqing, closed his eyes and calmed down, and went out of Waiting for Fate Residence, Old Man Lin followed behind and closed the shop, and the group hurried to Kaifeng Mansion. Come.

In the guest room of Kaifeng Mansion, Gongsun Ce sat on the edge of the bed and twiddled his beard to feel Lin Ruoqing's pulse, while Zhan Zhao and the old man Lin stood aside and stared at the unconscious person on the bed, Zhan Zhao's eyes were full of concern and regret.

After a long time, Gongsun Ce let go of his hand and stood up, but he remained silent. Zhan Zhao took the lead and asked, "Mr. Gongsun, how are you doing?"

Gongsun Ce glanced at Zhan Zhao, then at old man Lin, thought about it, and said, "Old man Lin is tired after coming all the way, why don't Zhan's guards take him to the west wing for a rest first?"

"I'm not tired." Old man Lin hurriedly waved his hands and said, "What's wrong with Ruoqing?"

"Miss Lin is fine, just leave it to me and Guard Zhan." Gongsun Ce comforted him.Then he said to Zhan Zhao: "Guard Zhan, take old man Lin to rest first."

"Yes", Zhan Zhao had an ominous premonition in his heart, but his expression remained the same, he said to Old Man Lin, "Old Man Lin, please follow me."

Old man Lin looked at the two people, stomped helplessly, and went out with Zhan Zhao.

After a while, Zhan Zhao returned to the house, turned around and closed the door, and walked quickly to Gongsun Ce, "Mr. Gongsun, what happened to her?" When he said this, Zhan Zhao clearly felt his heart beating in a mess, and even his voice Also trembling a bit.

Gongsun Ce saw a trace of unbearable in his eyes, he said hesitantly: "Guard Zhan, Miss Lin is probably poisoned by Gu."

Zhan Zhao suddenly opened his eyes wide, and said in disbelief: "Gu poison? How is it possible? Gu poison is not owned by the Central Plains, Ruoqing, how could she..." At this point, he stopped abruptly, and Gongsun Ce was shocked when he met him. Looking at her eyes, she nodded slightly: "Don't forget, Miss Lin has been to the Western Regions."

Zhan Zhao felt unsteady on his feet, staggered half a step back, and asked in disbelief, "But she came back from the Western Regions, and it's been more than three months since she was on the road, how could she just get mad at this time?" ?”

"Guard Zhan must also know that there are many types of Gu poison. Most of them have no symptoms when they are first implanted in the human body. After a long time, the Gu insects will absorb nutrients in the human body and grow bigger and bigger until one day the Gu poison breaks out. , if you don’t think of a way to draw the Gu worms out of your body, what will be the consequences? The Zhan guards should know about it too.” Gongsun Ce looked at Zhan Zhao’s face, sighed softly, and then said, “And Miss Lin fainted last time. Toxic hair, but the symptoms were mild at the time, and it was not apparent from the pulse."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help but slumped down on the stool. As his thoughts turned, he knew that it was Chu Tianyi's poison in the Western Regions. His deep eyes were burning with anger, and his fists were also clenched. But Chu Tianyi's whereabouts are unknown now, how to detoxify?Thinking of this, he asked hoarsely, "Mr. Gongsun, is there a way to detoxify?"

Gongsun Ce was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head slightly.Seeing Zhan Zhao's face turn pale in an instant, he couldn't bear to say in his heart: "Guard Zhan, don't worry too much. According to the description of old man Lin just now, Miss Lin should be poisoned by Gu poison that will make people temporarily lose their sanity. Students can Go to the medical books or go to the palace to consult the imperial doctor, and you will definitely find a cure." Afterwards, I lost my confidence, and I didn't even know what kind of Gu poison I got, let alone detoxify it?

Zhan Zhao pulled the corners of his lips and gave a wry smile. He had heard of the power of the Gu poison when he was traveling in the rivers and lakes in his early years, and he also saw with his own eyes the tragic situation of people being bitten by the Gu insects when they were dying because they could not detoxify. He dared not go Think, what will happen if no antidote can be found?No, no, he will definitely find an antidote, and no matter what happens, she must not be allowed to have an accident, absolutely not!A thought popped into my mind, Bai Yutang's sister-in-law Min Xiuxiu is very skilled in medicine, maybe she has a way to detoxify.

As the night gradually shrouded, old man Lin finally returned home after being comforted by Gongsun Ce.After dinner, Gongsun Ce went to look for medical books again, hoping to find a way to detoxify as soon as possible.However, Zhan Zhao always sat beside Lin Ruoqing, looking at the person lying on the bed, his heart ached like a twist.

In the flickering of the candle, Lin Ruoqing's face was pale and almost transparent, with a few strands of hair on her sideburns clinging to her cheeks, Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to gently stroke her back behind her ears, not seeing her so peacefully, he would rather she rushed to him Acting coquettishly, I would rather she lose her temper and cry at him than see her lying here so lifeless. Zhan Zhao closed his eyes and gently suppressed the moisture welling up in his eyes. After a long time, he got up and walked to the window. In front of him, the bright moon rising outside the window was indescribably cold.

Looking for medicine ([-])

Lin Ruoqing slowly opened her eyes, staring at the tent in the darkness for a moment in a daze, soon she felt thirsty and wanted to pour herself a glass of water, but she didn't even have the strength to move a finger let alone get up, Before he passed out, the piercing pain surged up like a nightmare: What's wrong with me?How could it suddenly become like this?

Lin Ruoqing glanced around the room, and saw a figure sitting by the table, seeming to be sleeping soundly. Is that Zhan Zhao?She opened her mouth and spit out the word Zhan Zhao, her voice was as soft as a mosquito screeching. Even so, Zhan Zhao, who had always been in a light sleep, still heard the call. With bright eyes, the heart finally settled down, and said softly: "You are awake."

Seeing that it was Zhan Zhao, Lin Ruoqing also felt inexplicably relieved, she twitched the corners of her mouth, and said softly, "I want to drink water."

"Okay, you wait." Zhan Zhao hurriedly walked to the table and poured her a glass of water, then went to the bed to help her up, fed her the water to drink little by little, then helped her lie down, turned around and wanted to drink. Putting down the cup, Lin Ruoqing behind her spoke again: "Zhan Zhao, what's wrong with me?"

Zhan Zhao's back stiffened, his hand holding the cup tightened, and he pondered for a moment before he said what he had planned in advance: "Mr. Gongsun said that you were poisoned when you were in the Western Regions, and he is trying to find an antidote for you. .” He didn't dare to look back at her expression, he was afraid of seeing her sad and desperate.

"Poisoning? What kind of poison? Can you cure it?" Lin Ruoqing's voice was a little flustered, and she was a little out of breath. After saying these few words, she exhausted all her strength.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gongsun has read medical books extensively, as well as the imperial physician in the palace. Besides, Bai Yutang's sister-in-law is also good at detoxification, so she will definitely find a way." Zhan Zhao put down his glass, but still didn't look back. He tried his best to comfort her and himself, that he would There is a way to detoxify.

"Oh," Lin Ruoqing really didn't have the strength to say another word, she believed that Zhan Zhao would definitely find a way, the deep tiredness came up again, and her consciousness fell into darkness again.

Zhan Zhao supported the edge of the table and sat down slowly, feeling sore again. If she hadn't changed the antidote for herself, she wouldn't have gone to the Western Regions alone, and she wouldn't have been poisoned by Gu poison. She found the antidote, anyway!Even though it was late at night, Zhan Zhao's deep eyes still exuded a warm and firm light like black stones.

Lin Ruoqing woke up again after dawn. Although she was still weak, she could force herself to get up, and Zhan Zhao had already left.Lin Ruoqing knew that he was busy, it was not easy to watch over her last night, and she had to run around during the day, Lin Ruoqing felt sorry for him.She went to the table and poured herself a glass of water, but she forgot to drink it, holding the glass in a daze, Zhan Zhao said that she was poisoned when she was in the Western Regions, Chu Tianyi must have given it to her, he did this What is it for?Bring her to the Northern Song Dynasty and poison her?Why torture her like this?think
