Zhen Huan Reborn as Langya to Cure Yi Syndrome

Chapter 174 Zorlu Welcomes a New Life

Yongqi told Madam Wei how to quit her opium addiction.

"To quit this stuff, you need to treat it physically and mentally. The body uses medicine to remove toxins and strengthen the body."

"I want him to be sensible and know that this is not something that can be touched. This requires the advice and companionship of his family."

"It was a little difficult at first. Every time he had an attack, we tied him up like this to control him from touching those things. Once he got through the peak period of attacks, it would be easier. He hasn't smoked for a few days, so it shouldn't be difficult to quit."

"The latter is to isolate him from the way of contacting opium. According to my analysis, the foreigner you mentioned who wanted to recruit merchants to sell opium on his behalf may not have made a good plan."

"There have been people secretly selling opium in Beijing for a long time. The man who gave Zorlu away probably has his eyes on the Wei family and Boss Shen's business, and wants to use opium to control him, and take his time."

Old Madam Wei gritted her teeth. How could this man be so evil? He acted like a brother on the surface, but was plotting against her behind her back.

Then she asked the question that concerned her most: "Will this incident have any negative impact on Yan Wan?"

Yongqi said: "The Emperor hates this thing, although it may not necessarily destroy the position of Empress Ling in the Emperor's heart. However, it is better to hide it if possible. There is no need to cause trouble for yourself."

Madam Wei nodded sadly.

She had no idea what to do next and looked at Yongqi and Qinghua helplessly.

Qinghua gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and said, "Auntie, I've been watching him with you recently."

Madam Wei waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, he wants to be locked in the room, and you accompany him, which will damage your reputation."

Yongqi said, "I will accompany you to take care of him during the most difficult days ahead. But my wife is pregnant, so I will return home after this period."

Madam Wei finally felt relieved and nodded in agreement.

"Thank you very much, brother. I'm just afraid that he will go crazy and an old woman like me can't control him. When he gets over this period of time, I will follow him everywhere."

Yongqi added: "I still have two wishes, and I hope the old lady can grant them."

Madam Wei nodded: "Brother is my family's benefactor. If there is anything I can do for you, just tell me."

"First, I hope that after Zorlu wakes up, he can expose the people behind this and help the government arrest them as soon as possible."

"Secondly, I hope that the old lady can take time to accompany Madam Ling in the palace after she has sorted out her family affairs. She really misses you."

Old Madam Wei took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears. How could she not want to go to the palace to accompany the birth? She just didn't dare to leave home.

Qinghua patted the old lady's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, ma'am. Once we catch all those people and destroy all the opium, I'll keep a close eye on Zuo Lu. You can rest assured to go to the palace and accompany the queen."

Qinghua's eyes were red. It felt so good to have family. She didn't even have the chance to go home.

After Zorlu woke up, the three of them gathered around him and earnestly explained to him the dangers of opium.

"To say that one's family is ruined is not an exaggeration."

"If a person is controlled by an object, is he qualified to call for help?"

"Those people just want your money, and then they'll wait for you to crawl at their feet like a dog and ask for whatever you want."

Each one said more rudely than the last.

Zorlu had a sad face. He felt really bad. His heart was beating violently, and it felt like bugs were crawling in his body. His whole body ached.

The face of the foreigner who gave him opium seemed to appear before his eyes. The man kept telling him that opium was the best medicine and that he would feel better after taking two puffs.

"Break free from your restraints, kill the person in front of you, and you will be free to enjoy the pleasure that opium brings you."

Yongqi looked at Zuolu's bloodshot eyes and knocked him out with a knife.

Phew, I’m still dizzy.

After Zorlu woke up, the uncomfortable feeling from the opium addiction subsided briefly.

He couldn't help sobbing.

"You son of a bitch, you gave me something so uncomfortable, and he still said he felt like a god after taking it."

Yongqi picked up Zuolu and prepared to take him to the institution set up by the imperial court to detain opium addicts.

Look at how miserable those who are more addicted are, and look at how remorseful those who have already killed their loved ones during an attack are.

Let him know how happy he is to have family and friends by his side, and to be able to lie at home and be taken care of by three people in turn.

Yongqi counted on his fingers and found that it was less than four months before the Concubine gave birth, and less than seven months before the Empress Ling gave birth. He didn't have much time and had to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

Zorlu looked at these people. Some of them were rolling on the ground in pain like dying fish. Some of them struggled to break free and cut off their own fingers, but the pain could not overwhelm the feeling of ants gnawing on their bodies.

Some people, after quitting their opium addiction, found out that they had killed their own children by throwing them to the ground when they were having an attack, and they simply slit their own throats.

Zorlu's legs and feet went weak and he knelt on the ground, crying bitterly. At this moment, his tears were filled with regret and fear.

"Yesterday, your eyes were red and you stared at Madam Wei fiercely. If I hadn't knocked you out, I'm afraid you would have lost your mother."

Yongqi squatted down and explained things to Zuolu.

"The Emperor banned opium. Do you think it was just a whim of his? Many brave men and women throughout the Qing Dynasty fought against opium merchants, regardless of human and material resources, and died heroically."

"If it is really a good thing, why don't we open our borders and do this business properly? This is just a tool used by foreigners to control us."

Zuo Lu looked at Yong Qi and said, "I really understand. Blame it on me for being ignorant, having no ability or vision, always repeating what others say, only wanting to make a fortune, and not willing to work hard to earn a little money."

Yongqi patted him.

"Fortunately, everything is still in time. Everyone has different qualifications and abilities. With Lady Ling and Boss Shen protecting you, it doesn't matter if you don't break through. Just stay at home and count your money."

"The Empress is pregnant, and the old lady is old. Boss Shen is a woman after all, and it is not convenient for her to deal with many businesses. You are also of some use, and they are all waiting for you to cheer up."

Zuo Lu followed Yongqi back home obediently. He had made up his mind to ask about Sister Qinghua's affairs in the future and study with her peacefully.

Yongqi asked Zuolu again: "Zuolu, are you willing to expose the person who gave you opium?"

Zorlu nodded and said, "I'm going to keep my eyes open and watch how they die."

"They recruited me as an agent and took me to one of their bases."

Yongqi was very happy and wanted to take Zuolu to see Fuheng. With Zuolu's help in recognizing people, things would be much easier.

Zuo Lu stopped walking, scratched his head, and said, "I think you look familiar, as if I have seen you before."

Yongqi also paused, turned around and smiled brightly, saying, "I have never left the palace since I was a child, and have never met Uncle Wei Jia. Perhaps it is because I have a connection with my uncle that I feel he is particularly kind."

Zuo Lu no longer hesitated and followed Yongqi towards Fu Cha Mansion.

After walking a few steps, he stopped again. Yongqi turned back stiffly, waiting for his next words.

"Among these people, is there a royal relative?"
