Chapter 204: Quick Solution, the Time is Not Right
Xu Yuqiong stared at her for a moment, then answered hesitantly, "Second...sister?"
Xu Mingxi nodded with a smile: "Yes, my sister and I were still young when we parted. My sister has really changed a lot since she grew up. I really can't recognize her."
It was originally a polite remark, but it didn't sound like that to Xu Yuqiong. She took a small step back alertly and responded with all her might: "Sister, what are you saying? Second sister is becoming more and more attractive.
Before I arrived in Kyoto, I heard that my sister was the most beautiful woman in Kyoto."
"That's just a favor from you sisters, don't take it seriously."
"Sister, why did you come to see me?"
Xu Yuqiong didn't want to beat around the bush with her, so she took the initiative to ask.
"I'm just... curious. The sachet and headband that my sister presented to grandma just now looked extremely exquisite and extraordinary from a distance, but I was far away just now and didn't get a close look.
I have no choice but to be shameless and wonder if my sister can give me one too?"
While speaking, Xu Mingxi did not forget to look at Lu Yu behind Xu Yuqiong, only to see that Lu Yu still had his head down and did not look up, and the rules seemed to be very strict.
"Sister, can you agree to my request?"
"That's not difficult, Green Feather."
Xu Yuqiong tilted her head and called softly, "Do you still have the sachets or other things I made?"
Only then did Lu Yu slowly raise his head and look at Xu Yuqiong.
When her face was revealed to Xu Mingxi, he was secretly shocked: "Sure enough, this Lu Yu is the 'Xu Yuqiong' in the previous life!"
How could this be? ?
At this time, Lu Yu's familiar voice sounded from Xu Mingxi's ears: "No, Miss, but there is a handkerchief of Miss, and there is a little bit of Miss's embroidery on it."
Xu Yuqiong spoke in a gentle and steady tone, totally unlike her mother, Wu, who was completely disorganized and brainless. She turned to ask Xu Mingxi for her opinion, "I only have a handkerchief. Are you willing to accept it, sister?"
Xu Mingxi had actually achieved his goal, so he casually replied, "Sure, thank you, sister."
Xu Yuqiong took the handkerchief from Lu Yu and handed it to Xu Mingxi with both hands: "Since you like it, I'll give it to you as a small gift."
Xu Mingxi took it purposefully, asked her a few more questions about her well-being, and then said goodbye and left.
When Xu Mingxi walked away, Xu Yuqiong put away her gentle smile, stared at Xu Mingxi's back, and suddenly whispered: "Do you think she is suspicious?"
Lv Yu behind him also looked up and responded calmly: "Not sure, it shouldn't be. This Second Miss Xu hasn't seen 'Xu Yuqiong' for many years and has had very little contact with her, so she shouldn't have any suspicions."
"Then why did she suddenly come to talk to me? Was she testing me, or was she just catching up with me? But I haven't seen her for many years, so what is there to catch up with?"
Lu Yu didn't care: "I think you are too cautious. Maybe she just wants to make friends with you and rekindle the childhood love."
"It's not like I have any feelings for her."
"Keep your voice down, someone else is coming. You are Xu Yuqiong now, so don't make any noise."
Lu Yu saw another figure walking towards them from afar and hurriedly whispered a warning.
The one who came this time was Xu Baiyu.
"Sixth sister, do you still remember me after so many years?"
Xu Yuqiong couldn't help but complain in her heart: These Kyoto noble ladies, their words and deeds are all cut from the same mold, even the words they use to chat up are exactly the same.
With the previous experience of dealing with Xu Mingxi, Xu Yuqiong was much more adept at talking with Xu Baiyu.
"Sister, you have returned to the Xu Mansion. This is a gift from me to your sixth sister. I hope you will not despise it and must accept it as a token of my appreciation."
Unlike Xu Mingxi, Xu Baiyu's smile was gentle and kind, a little more sincere than Xu Mingxi's, and even had a hint of flattery.
Looking at the gift that was forced into her hands, it was a emerald green jade hairpin. It was simple and elegant in style, shiny and warm to the touch. It was obvious at first glance that it was not an ordinary item.
Xu Yuqiong was somewhat flattered: "How can I accept this? This is too valuable. I can't accept it! Sister, take it back quickly."
Not understanding her intention, Xu Yuqiong did not dare to accept the hairpin rashly, and pushed it back into Xu Baiyu's hand.
Xu Baiyu was not annoyed, and did not care whether Xu Yuqiong really could not afford it or was just politely refusing. He simply raised his wrist and inserted the jade hairpin into her hair.
"Don't worry, sister. This is really just a token of my love. In the Xu Mansion, this kind of thing is nothing. If you like it, I have more."
Xu Yuqiong exchanged glances with Lu Yu calmly. Lu Yu shook his head imperceptibly, not knowing what Xu Baiyu was planning.
"It's getting late today, sister, have a good rest. If you are free someday, you can come to my Hanxing Courtyard and have a visit."
"No, if you don't mind, you can come to my yard and take a look when you have time."
"Really? I'll go look for you in a few days, please don't think I'm annoying."
Xu Yuqiong was just being polite to Xu Baiyu, but when she asked this question, she was in a difficult position. She could only bite the bullet and answer, "No, I'll come when I'm free."
Xu Baiyu seemed to have received approval and was extremely happy: "Then I will go to visit my sister in a few days.
It's getting late today, sister, go back and have a rest, we'll meet at the family dinner later. I'm going back first.
"Well, sister, walk slowly."
Until Xu Baiyu's figure disappeared around the corner.
Lu Yu just asked, "What's going on with Xu Baiyu?"
Xu Yuqiong took off the jade hairpin on her head, turned it over and over to examine it carefully for a long time, but did not find any writing. It seemed like a mechanism, and it was really just an ordinary jade hairpin.
“Perhaps, Xu Baiyu is the one who truly pleases me.
The Xu sisters are really more interesting than each other. "
*
The night is dark, and the light is dim.
Xu Xinyue just stood quietly outside Qin Yuechuan's courtyard, her figure hidden under the interlaced dark shadows of the trees, staring at the silhouette cast on the window lattice in the courtyard under the light of the bean-sized lamp.
She didn't know how long she had been looking, until Xiao Chan saw that she hadn't been back for a long time and came back to look for this place. Sure enough, she saw the thin crescent moon in the swaying shadows of the trees.
"Miss..." Xiao Chan called softly.
Xu Xinyue turned around to stop her, put his index finger to his lips, and signaled her to be quiet.
Xiao Chan covered his mouth and said no more.
After a while, the lights in Qin Yuechuan's courtyard went out. Xu Xinyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and walked carefully towards her own courtyard.
The painkillers must have taken effect.
He has gone to bed.
Xu Xinyue thought silently, secretly calculating in her heart how many times Qin Yuechuan could take the pills that Mr. Qiu had handed over to him that day.
The poison would attack him once every three days. She was always worried every time, but she couldn't let him know, so she could only quietly accompany and guard him outside the courtyard.
Every time the poison takes effect, he is not the only one who suffers.
I still need to go back and study the method of detoxification.
We can't put all our hopes on Mr. Qiu.
Thinking in her heart, Xu Xinyue returned to her courtyard and was about to look through the medical book again when Xiao Shu came over and said, "Miss, that Qiu——"
Before Xiao Shu could finish, Qiu Chu shouted from outside the door: "Girl, I have something to talk to you about! It's important!"
Xiao Shu helplessly spread her hands. It seemed that she didn't need to report to him anymore. She pointed outside the door and said, "Mr. Qiu is outside."
Qiu Chu? The only important thing about her recently is——
Xu Xinyue thought of something and stood up, ran to the door, opened it, and asked directly: "Mr. Qiu, you came to look for me, but did you find any clues?"
Qiu Chu didn't have time to explain, he pulled her wrist and walked out: "Just follow me first, that bug, that bug!"
Xu Xinyue thought to herself, as expected, without saying much, she took the lantern handed to her by Xiao Shu and hurriedly followed him to the medicine room.
When they arrived at the medicine room, Qiu Chu took the porcelain jar that housed the bloodworms and showed it to her with great excitement: "Take a look, is there any difference?"
Perhaps it was because of the dim light, Xu Xinyue lowered her head and looked for a long time, but couldn't figure out what he meant by "difference".
She looked at Qiu Chu blankly and shook her head.
Qiu Chu took the candle from the table, moved closer to the porcelain jar, and reminded her again: "What about now? Have you found anything different?"
Xu Xinyue carefully identified them under the candlelight and suddenly discovered that among the black and red bloodworms, there was one that seemed particularly fresh and bright red, and different from the others.
Xu Xinyue thought it was her illusion and moved the lantern closer. The light in front of her eyes became brighter and upon closer inspection, she found that there was indeed one that was particularly different.
Xu Xinyue was a little bit unbelievable: "What is this?"
"This is the worm that was fed with your blood. I just discovered it by accident. Do you know what this means?"
Xu Xinyue's heart was beating fast. She had an answer, but she still couldn't believe it. She looked at the bloodworms and didn't dare to answer.
Qiu Chu was impatient and did not wait for her answer. He just said:
"The leeches that drank your blood purified the poisonous blood of that stinky boy."
"Mr. Qiu, what do you mean——"
"You are Yin, he is Yang, maybe the antidote is to balance Yin and Yang."
"Yin and Yang... harmony?"
Qiu Chu was not in a hurry to answer her question. He just immersed himself in his own thoughts and kept muttering:
"Oh, why have I never thought of this? Since Frost Blaze is nourished by flesh and blood, how can the antidote be made of ordinary medicinal materials? It must also be nourished by flesh and blood.
Since his blood can nourish your body, why can't your blood nourish him in return?
It is said that all things have yin and yang, yin gives birth to yang, yang gives birth to yin, yin and yang are interdependent, and all things are created.
Yin accumulates and Yang is suppressed, Yang accumulates and Yin is suppressed…
Why didn’t I think of it earlier! Hahahaha”
Years of confusion were suddenly solved.
The ship, which had been groping in the fog for many years, finally broke through the clouds and saw the light of day.
The more Qiu Chu spoke, the more excited he became. If Xu Xinyue hadn't been there, he would have almost jumped up.
She continued to chatter around Xu Xianyue: "Girl, you two are really lucky. If he hadn't been willing to poison you, there might be no antidote for his poison in this life."
Qiu Chu patted Xu Xinyue on the shoulder and sighed, "If you want to take it, you must first give it.
He saved you, and he saved himself."
Xu Xinyue didn't say a word from beginning to end, just stroking her wrist in a daze. She finally remembered where this strange feeling of familiarity came from.
It was a dream.
Did the self in the dream also discover the true meaning of detoxification?
Therefore, the antidote in the dream can only be delivered by yourself.
Xu Xinyue didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
The answer was right in front of her, but she had never thought of it.
Xu Xinyue murmured: "Mr. Qiu, I'm so stupid..."
"Eh? Girl, what nonsense are you talking about? If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to solve this problem in my lifetime, hahahaha."
Back to the point, Xu Xinyue asked the most crucial question: "Since my blood can detoxify, can you make an antidote?"
Qiu Chu was about to speak, but stopped. He opened his mouth, pondered for a while, and swallowed back what he wanted to say at first. He just asked, "So you didn't understand?"
"Hmm?" Xu Xinyue was puzzled. "I understand. After being conditioned by Frost Blaze, my blood can detoxify him, just like his blood can save me.
So, you know how to make an antidote, right?"
Qiu Chu straightened his expression and said seriously: "Generally speaking, there are actually two ways to cure this poison, one is a quick cure, and the other is a slow cure."
"What is a quick solution? What is a slow solution?"
"Let me start with the slow solution. I'll use your blood as a medicine to make pills that will slowly purify the poisonous blood."
"How long will it take?"
"To be honest, I don't know. That guy is my only poison tester. I don't have any precedent to refer to how long it will take."
Xu Xianyue nodded and continued to ask, "What about the faster ones?"
Looking at Xu Xinyue's clear eyes, she was waiting for his answer with anticipation.
Qiu Chu hesitated again as before, scratched his gray hair, and seemed to be in a dilemma, not knowing how to start: "You, you, how can I, an old man, talk about this with a little girl like you."
"What's so hard to say? We are all doctors. Is there anything we can't explain?"
Qiu Chu turned around a few times, and seemed to have finally made a decision: "Wa, why don't you let that brat choose? I'll help you test him and see if he's worthy of your trust."
"It's fine to let him choose, but what does this have to do with entrusting someone with a task?"
"Okay, okay, you are an unmarried girl, you don't need to listen to this, go and have some rest, tomorrow morning, you can call that brat over."
Qiu Chu lifted Xu Xianyue over his shoulder and escorted her out of the house. Xu Xianyue patted his chest and assured him, "We'll talk about this tomorrow. Don't worry. I'm on your side."
Xu Xinyue was a little confused, but she could only turn around and go back to the courtyard.
What happened tonight finally put her at ease after days of worry, and she slept well that night.
The next morning, Xu Xinyue took Qin Yuechuan by the hand and brought him to Qiu Chu's medicine room as agreed.
Qiu Chu's eyes were slightly dark, probably because he was too excited to sleep all night after discovering the truth. When he saw Xu Xinyue and Qin Yuechuan, he just said, "You little brat, are you here?"
"Yeah. What's up?"
"Didn't the girl tell you?"
"Mr. Qiu, I haven't had time yet..."
"Oh, it's okay. I'll tell him, girl, you go out first. I'll talk to that brat about this."
Xu Xinyue glanced at Qin Yuechuan, who responded with a gentle smile: "Yueyue, go to the door and wait for a moment. I'll be there soon."
Xu Xianyue nodded and closed the door from the outside. She sat on a bamboo chair under the tree, pulling at the withered yellow grass leaves and waiting quietly.
It didn't take long, just a cup of tea, and Qin Yuechuan walked out of the house.
Xu Xianyue, who was sitting quietly under the tree, heard the voice and looked towards the door. When she saw him coming out, she shook the dry leaves in her hand and walked towards him happily, smiling and speaking softly, "Are you done?"
Qin Yuechuan stared at her deeply without saying a word.
His eyes were too passionate and too gentle, like a raging fire and like spring water.
Xu Xinyue almost couldn't resist, and took a few steps towards him, facing his gaze: "What's wrong? Did the conversation go wrong? Is there something wrong? Why aren't you talking?"
"Has Yueyue known about this a long time ago?"
