Chapter 499 Poison
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite.
The emperor thought about this.
He mentioned Chu Jingwen, "This bastard, not long ago, he asked Chu Jingwu to recruit thousands of households in the Army and Horses Division. Hmm, just him..."
The emperor had a look of contempt on his face.
He even dared to pursue his cousin's fiancée's ideas, and even went to the Chu Mansion. Such a shameless person dared to come to him to ask for an official position, huh...
Chu Jingwen, who was exerting himself on the beauty at this moment, did not know that because Chu Jingqi found an opportunity and took the opportunity to file a complaint against him in front of the emperor, his career would come to an end and he would never be able to serve as an official in the court again.
After Chu Jingwen was beaten by the old man and Chu Xuanyu, he was sent to Chu Jingwu. Chu Jingwu spent a sum of money and bought some tonics to heal his injuries.
Because of this, Chu Jingwen lost his previous job.
No, as soon as he recovered from his injury, he couldn't wait to take the maid back to the house, and worked hard for a day and a night. After going out, he went to find Chu Jingwu, hoping to make a thousand households under Chu Jingwu.
Chu Jingwu knew that Chu Jingwen was notorious, everyone knew about him, and he had not made much achievements in errands. He was considered useless in his life. For such a burden, he did not want to be dragged down by this stupid brother. On the surface, On the meeting, he reported Chu Jingwen's name in front of Chu Jingwen, but behind his back, he got involved and removed Chu Jingwen's name.
And this matter was accidentally found out by the emperor.
Before, the emperor thought that Chu Jingwu was deliberately suppressing Chu Jingwen, and he still had some opinions about Chu Jingwu, but now that he knew the truth, the emperor actually admired Chu Jingwu's style.
Chu Jingwu's method would not hurt his brother's feelings, but also allow him to achieve his wish.
This method is good.
On the contrary, Chu Jingwen, such an insidious villain, really cannot be allowed to be a Qianhu. If he has people in his hands, there is no telling what he will do in the future.
It is better for such a villain to stay away from the court.
……
The Xia family has been busy these past few days.
After Mrs. Xia was burned in her mouth, she had suffered a lot in the past few days. She was gnashing her teeth in hatred towards Xia Zihan, the murderer who caused her burns.
She originally planned to call Xia Zihan over and teach her a lesson once the blood in her mouth subsided and she could speak.
Although Xia Zihan is the princess, she cannot teach her a lesson in front of outsiders, but at home, who says that she, a grandmother, cannot teach her own granddaughter a lesson?
It's the Emperor. The Queen Mother wants to teach him a few words. How dare he not listen?
This is Mrs. Xia's idea.
She promoted her status without feeling at all that she was only a fifth-grade imperial concubine. Why should she compare with the Queen Mother?
Old Mrs. Xia thought this way and made this plan, but after she reluctantly drank the medicinal soup to relieve pain, relieve pain and reduce swelling, the wound in her mouth never healed.
By the time New Year's Eve arrived, the injury had become more serious. She could still speak vaguely, but by New Year's Eve, she could not make a sound at all. Old Mrs. Xia was panicked, worried that she would really become mute, so she wanted Xia Shiming to go to the Chu family and invite Doctor Bai to help treat her, but she couldn't speak, so she opened her mouth and said, ah ah ah, maid Mother-in-laws don’t understand.
Because of the wound in her mouth, she couldn't eat anything. She could only drink some clear soup, not even porridge. In just three or four days, she lost a layer of flesh, her body shrank a lot, and her eyeballs were also damaged. They were all sunken, the skin on his face was dull, wrinkles increased, and his whole body suddenly looked more than ten years older.
At the end of the New Year, the eldest and second masters were also very busy. They would go out early and come back late all day long. One was busy taking over the job, and the other was busy with the suspension of school for the New Year. However, no matter how busy they were, the two brothers would always come to visit the old lady when they came back in the evening.
At first, the two brothers thought that the old lady just had blisters on her mouth, and the injuries would heal naturally when the blisters went away. However, after three or four days, the old lady's condition became more serious, and the two brothers became nervous.
At this time, Mrs. Xia must not be in trouble. Once she passes away, the two brothers will have to go home and observe mourning for three years.
After three years, it is hard to say whether he will be able to serve as an official.
On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, when everyone was busy making New Year's Eve dinner, Xia Shiming hurried to Chu's house and wanted to ask Doctor Bai to go to Xia's house.
Xia Shiming and Old Man Bai had a good relationship. For Xia Shiming's sake, Old Man Bai agreed.
Half an hour later, in Mrs. Xia's room, Old Man Bai put down the old lady's wrist and frowned tightly.
Xia Shiming's stomach was so nervous that he asked cautiously, "Doctor Bai, how are you? My mother's health..."
"It's not a big deal." Old Man Bai muttered, "She can't speak. It's because the fire in her body is too strong, and the wound has moved down to her throat, which has already festered. All she needs to do is eat a few more foods to remove the fire and clear her heart." Just decoction.”
"Thank you so much, Doctor Bai." Xia Shiming breathed a sigh of relief, bent down, bowed deeply to old man Bai and thanked him.
On New Year's Eve, Xia Shiming couldn't keep him for dinner, so Old Man Bai wrote a prescription to keep. Xia Shiming personally sent him back to Chu's house, and took some decoctions back from Old Man Bai's pharmacy.
As soon as Xia Shiming left, Old Man Bai's face darkened a little, and he ordered the boy, "Go and invite the princess here. I have something to ask her."
"Miracle doctor, it's time for the New Year's dinner soon." The waiter reminded him in a low voice, meaning that it would be inappropriate to wait until after the New Year's dinner to discuss anything. It seemed inappropriate to call someone over at this time.
"Go if I tell you to." Old Man Bai raised his voice, and the boy's legs softened with fright. Without another word, he ran away.
Xia Zihan got the news and hurried over. Seeing that her master's face was not good-looking, she looked nervous and said, "Master, did you call me here because of what happened to the old lady of the Xia family?"
Old Man Bai had already sent the other boy out of the room. Now, they were the only master and apprentice in the room, so there was no taboo in speaking. Old Man Bai opened his mouth and asked, "What is the Nine Apricot Grass on her body?" Did you give it to her? ”
"I just want her to suffer a little more." Xia Zihan sat down under Old Man Bai and picked up the small silver stove on it to play with. "She has such a mean mouth and loves to curse. She should suffer more." Suffer, what, master, did you detoxify her?”
The apricot grass is just a very common grass that is slightly poisonous and likes to grow on flowers. Basically, a few will grow in the flower beds of every household.
But few people know that there is another effect of apricot grass. If people take it directly, it will cause oral erosion. People who have already injured their oral cavity will not like it.
At first, she didn't plan to give the old lady Jiuxingcao. After she scolded Chu Fei, she felt that this man's mouth was too mean. He was hurt like that and he still cursed. So, before leaving, she took it. I picked up two pieces of Nine Apricot Grass and ordered Chu Fei to crush them and add them to the old lady’s decoction.
