The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Yue Qing's face was not good either: "That's right, but your master will be here soon, he should have a solution."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Xujiang rushed in with Dongfang Ji. Dongfang Ji didn't have time to scold Dongfang Xujiang before he asked, "What's the situation?"

Xia Yanxiang shook her head.

"No, I have to go and see for myself." Dongfang Ji said as he rushed out again. Yue Qing shouted anxiously from behind, "Don't let Bai'er know!"

I don't know what method Dongfang Ji used to get Xia Zhibai to let him take his pulse, but Xia Zhibai found it a little strange. Why are these three people a little panicked?

Xia Yanxiang paced back and forth anxiously, her eyebrows furrowed. Dongfang Xujiang saw this and stood up: "Sister Yanxiang, please sit down for a while! If something really happens, it's not a good idea for us to be anxious. We have to calm down and think of a solution first!"

Xia Yanxiang shook her head.

Yue Qing was upset: "Yan'er, you should calm down first. Your master should have a solution."

"Brother has only been back for two months, but the poison has already penetrated so deeply," Xia Yanxiang sneered, "It seems that she was provoked last time, so she took action without telling that person."

"Who?"

Xia Yanxiang turned around and sat down, her eyes full of coldness: "Who else could it be? Xia Pinxiang."

"She?" Dongfang Xujiang didn't quite understand. "She dares?"

"What is there for her to be afraid of? She privately communicated with Prince Yuan in front of the entire capital. Now she is just poisoning someone else!"

Dongfang Xujiang simply couldn't believe it: "That's her older brother! How could she have the heart to do that to him?"

Li Guan also frowned: "Why is this woman so restless?"

"Why should she be afraid to do it? He is my brother, not hers. Letting her take the surname Xia is giving her a stepping stone to rise to the top." Xia Yanxiang said slowly.

Li Guan and Dongfang Xujiang looked surprised.

Only Yue Qing was calmer and guessed, "So, she might not be the descendant of Minister Xia."

!!!

Xia Yanxiang nodded.

The other two people's jaws dropped in shock.

"I'm afraid Minister Xia doesn't even know that he has been cuckolded for more than ten years! If he knew, he would strangle the Second Aunt to death." Yue Qing said lightly.

"Don't even mention him. Even the concubine herself doesn't know whose father she is." Xia Yanxiang was not surprised at all.

Li Guan looked at her expression and asked carefully, "Did you know this a long time ago?"

"I knew it before March 3rd."

It’s been kept secret for so long, it looks like it’s a big move!

Yue Qing looked at her cold eyes and said, "It will be even earlier!"

Xia Yanxiang admitted, "Well, Xia Pinxiang...about thirteen years old!"

Xia Pinxiang is already eighteen this year! She has been hiding it for five years, so it must be a secret weapon!

She had never said it before, and had never thought about saying it. Xia Pinxiang's affairs had nothing to do with her. What's more, she didn't want to compete with Xia Pinxiang at all. Bloodline was not important to her.

But after she was reborn, this handle became a trump card!

Xia Pinxiang can be crushed to death at any time.

Li Guan had a complicated expression, and then raised his thumbs again, "Well done! Who made her occupy your position for so many years in vain, and also took your favor, and she was greedy and tried to harm you again and again, and even attacked Big Brother, catch her, this handle must be caught!"

Dongfang Xujiang is more complicated. Sister Yanxiang is so indifferent that she is no longer like the sister Yanxiang before. Is it because her elder sister who has been with her for many years treats her coldly just because they are of different blood? She even holds the biggest handle on her.

Seeing Dongfang Xujiang remained silent, Xia Yanxiang smiled sarcastically, "Xia Pinkan, this guy doesn't need me to discredit him at all. Just this once, if the poison in brother's body cannot be cured, then the Dayong Dynasty will lose a general and a prime minister."

After saying that, Xia Yanxiang stood up again, without saying anything else, and called Tinglan over: "Go back to the Shangshu Mansion and get the detoxification pills from my courtyard. Give them to my brother first."

"Head!" The exact nature of Xia Zhibai's poison has not been discovered yet, so it's not a good idea to use medicine rashly!

Xia Yanxiang didn't look back and was silent for a while: "He is my biological brother."

Just this one sentence is enough.

Everyone stopped talking and sat in the hall in silence for half an hour. Then Dongfang Ji came back in a hurry, took a few breaths, and quickly poured a large pot of tea.

The heavy atmosphere was broken. Xia Yanxiang stared at him closely, and waited until he caught his breath before asking, "Master, what happened?"

Dongfang Ji's face darkened as well. "Girl, I'm afraid it has something to do with the hairpin you gave me. I went back and studied it for a long time before I discovered that it contained a poison that doesn't need to be controlled by humans. It can be triggered automatically by excessive accumulation. It seems that your brother's backstage plan also has that kind of poison."

Xia Yanxiang was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly reacted; "But why are sister-in-law and Yun'er okay?"

"It's not clear yet. I think it's specifically targeting Bai'er."

Xia Yanxiang's face turned pale, her hands trembled, and the long-lost despair of dying surged into her heart. She asked with difficulty: "Then, Master, can my brother's poison be cured?"

Li Guan held her hand worriedly and found that her hands were covered with cold sweat.

"The solution can be found, but..." Dongfang Xiang was too embarrassed to say it.

Xia Yanxiang anxiously grabbed his hand and said, "Master, I can bear any price!"

Dongfang Xiang looked embarrassed, feeling both reluctant and awkward.

"What's the matter? You just said it!" Yue Qing couldn't help it.

"The antidote to this poison is extremely complicated. Not only does it require the Soul-Separation Grass, but it also requires the blood of a loved one..."

Before she could finish, Xia Yanxiang interrupted her: "I'll go get the Soul-Separation Grass, you can use mine!"

"Yi, don't be anxious. You can't just have this blood." Dongfang Ji held Xia Yanxiang down and forced her to calm down. "This blood needs to be soaked in medicine for two hours every day by a close relative, and then three bowls of blood should be released as a medicine guide. Then, the Soul-Separation Grass should be used to make medicine to assist the medicine guide in restraining the poison. After seven days, another bowl of heart blood should be used to kill the insect."

"Any blood will do, Master!" Xia Yanxiang said without hesitation, "As long as it can save my brother."

Yue Qing also hesitated. If she wanted to detoxify, Xia Yanxiang would have to pay the price with blood, which was almost a life for another.

"No!" Dongfang Xujiang knew very well how dangerous it was to take the blood from the heart, and he immediately spoke up to stop it, "Taking the blood from the heart is too dangerous! If we're not careful..."

"Dad, is there no other way?"

Dongfang Ji was silent.

Li Guan was also anxious, but this method was too dangerous: "Master, think about it again. Since this is a Gu poison, there must be a mother Gu! Can you find the mother Gu to save my brother?"

"The mother Gu is useless. There is no mother Gu for this kind of poison. But besides this method, there is another one. But..." Dongfang Ji was hesitant to speak.
