After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me
Chapter 49 Assassination
In the 19th year of Yongxi, the third day of October.
War King Gu Xiu led 17 troops to fight Goguryeo for the country.Since Tongding crossed the Liaoshui River, he wanted to attack Xuantu City first.
It was the frosty month of winter, and the river was turbulent.Many soldiers of the dynasty suffered from dizziness because they had never crossed the river by boat since they were young. In severe cases, they could not even eat.In addition, most of the food used in the army is rough and storable dried meat and mustard cakes. There are more and more people in the army who cannot eat.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Gu Xiu stood on the highest point of the commander's ship for three meals a day, endured the cold wind blowing on his face, and led all the soldiers to eat together.
"For Your Highness, let's eat!" After the last battle against Mohe, Song Yu had been promoted to the rank of Captain Zhenwei in the army.
On the riverboat led by him, the soldiers whose faces were sallow due to seasickness all imitated his example, holding up the large coarse porcelain bowl in their hands, and stuffed the broth and Hubing into their mouths one by one.
Song Yu ate extraordinarily hard. Even though his stomach was overwhelmed at this time, he could forcefully stretch his neck and swallow the food one bite at a time.
If the general is the soul of a soldier, then Gu Xiu is the soul of Song Yu.
After lunch, Gu Xiu came down from the high platform with a normal expression, returned to the captain's cabin where he was resting, and fell on Han Mochu's lap, throwing up in a daze.
Han Mochu calmly followed Gu Xiu's back, waiting for him to vomit out all the food in his belly, and then handed Gu Xiu a glass of water to rinse his mouth.
Gu Xiu's dizziness on the boat was very severe, and seasickness was also very strange.Some people are born to walk on the ground when they get on a boat, and some people will still feel dizzy no matter how many times they sit on it.
Han Mochu belongs to the former, and Gu Xiu belongs to the latter.
In the entire army, only Han Mochu knew that Gu Xiu, the formidable and invincible general in front of the army, would even spit out the sugar water he poured down in this cabin.Every time Gu Xiu paralyzed on Han Mochu's lap and vomited, he felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart. It was a feeling of powerlessness that he wished he could replace with his body.
However, what Han Mochu hated the most in his life was the word powerless, and what he disbelieved the most was also the word powerless.
Gu Xiu rinsed the filth from his mouth, his expression softened a little, and he asked softly, "How many days until the dock?"
Han Mochu leaned Gu Xiu's forehead on the armor on his shoulder, and replied softly, "Return to Your Highness, there are still eleven days."
"Yeah." Gu Xiu closed his eyes and leaned on Han Mochu's shoulder with peace of mind.
"Your Highness, I have discussed with the military doctor a new prescription that can relieve seasickness, and the medicine will be available within two days." Han Mochu straightened his shoulders and supported half of Gu Xiu's body steadily.
Before this expedition, the medicine Su Che gave him did not cure seasickness, and the seasickness medicine originally used in the army was too weak to be effective.Now that the matter has come to this, Han Mochu simply chose to do it himself.
"If the medicine is ready in two days, then you can try it on me first." Gu Xiu paused for a while, but his heart was still very sick.
"Your Highness, the efficacy of the new prescription is unknown. Trying the medicine may hurt your body." Han Mochu turned around and said, "Let me try it myself."
"Why did you test the medicine? You have never been seasick." Gu Xiu opened his eyes a little calmly, and lifted his upper body from Han Mochu's shoulder: "Besides, the new medicine you made can only be unobjectionable if I personally try it in the army. "
Two days later, the preparation of seasickness medicine jointly prepared by Han Mochu and five military doctors was completed.
There are many waterways along the way to go to Korea, so the success of this medicine is very important.
On the day of testing the medicine, all the former generals from the fifth rank and above in the entire army gathered in the chief general's cabin. As the chief general, Gu Xiu sat on the central seat in the middle.
"Han Canjun, my lord heard that today's new medicine has just come into being, but I don't know its curative effect. My lord has also suffered from seasickness since boarding the ship. I wonder if I can give it a try?"
"Return to Your Highness, the new medicine has been prepared today, if His Highness does not give up, I am willing to try it with His Highness."
"Okay, according to what Han Canjun said, please ask Han Canjun to decoct the medicine."
The generals present here actually knew Gu Xiu's intention to call them here today, but they still have to go through the cutscenes that should be done for An Jun's heart. They also admire Gu Xiu, the young general, from the bottom of their hearts.
In order to avoid complications, Han Mochu did everything by himself from dispensing, decocting, and brewing.
When the concoction was ripe, he brought it to Gu Xiu himself.
The amber concoction exudes dense white air in the cold cabin.Han Mochu held the medicine bowl, first tested it with a silver needle, then scooped up a mouthful with a silver spoon and put it into his own mouth first, then pushed the medicine bowl in front of Gu Xiu.
Gu Xiu held the medicine bowl, raised his head in front of everyone, and drank the medicine juice in the bowl in one gulp.The medicinal juice was sour and slightly bitter, Gu Xiu didn't feel any medicinal effect when he tasted it for the first time.
After a while, Gu Xiu suddenly felt a sharp burning pain in his chest, and instinctively choked out a mouthful of blood in front of everyone.
"Your Highness?"
Gu Xiu's figure was crumbling, and Han Mochu stood behind him and stretched out his hands to support his shoulders.As soon as they were seated, a military doctor stepped forward to check Gu Xiu's pulse.
"No, Your Highness is poisoned!"
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar.
"Poisoned? How could His Highness be poisoned? How could he be poisoned?"
The military doctor picked up the bowl of medicine that Gu Xiu drank just now, put it under his nose and sniffed it: "It's the medicine! There is tiger wolf grass in the medicine!"
"The medicine is prepared by Han Ginseng, so why is there a problem?"
"His Royal Highness was poisoned, the problem lies in this bowl of medicine! In any case, Han Canjun cannot get rid of it!"
At this time, Gu Xiu's ears were buzzing and his eyes were dark, but his consciousness was still clear. He heard everyone pointing to Han Mochu, and he pressed his chest forcibly to spit out all the concoction mixed with blood in his stomach. , suddenly slapped the table to suppress the disputes of the people: "Have you said enough? This king said it wasn't Han Canjun."
"But Your Highness, the military doctor just said that this medicine..."
"Your Highness, Han Canjun was the only one who took the medicine from the beginning to the end."
"Enough! If Han Canjun wants to poison, why is he in full view? And why put himself in it?" Gu Xiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, endured the intense pain in his chest and stared at everyone coldly: "This Can't you see such an obvious frame? So whoever of you forces me to deal with Han Canjun today is the one who poisoned you!" Gu Xiu was so emotional that his blood surged even worse, and he leaned over and vomited a ball of blood again.
"Your Highness, don't talk too much, let the ministers detoxify you first." The old military doctor pinched Gu Xiu's veins, and said anxiously: "Come on, hurry up and prepare Sanhuang Tang!"
Before the military doctors got up and moved, Han Mochu stuffed the pills he carried with him into Gu Xiu's mouth.
"Han Mochu, what are you doing? Are you going to assassinate openly?"
"Han Mochu, what did you and Your Highness eat?"
Han Mochu didn't pay attention to anyone's questioning, he just supported Gu Xiu's shoulder and said, "His Royal Highness, breathe evenly."
After about a cup of tea, the fierce turbulence in Gu Xiu's chest gradually calmed down, and his complexion gradually turned from pale to rosy.
The military doctor, who was stunned by Han Mochu's actions, saw that Gu Xiu's face was calm, and went forward to check Gu Xiu's pulse again, and said in surprise, "His pulse has stabilized, and His Highness is fine! Han Canjun, you and Your Highness What kind of medicine did you take? Can you have a look with the old man?"
"This medicine is called Wuji Pill, and it was made by a strange person from overseas. The prescription cannot be seen by anyone." Han Mochu said solemnly.
"In my opinion, I'm afraid I dare not look at people. If there is no ghost in my heart, why don't I dare to look at people with the prescription? I don't know if I poisoned His Highness first, and then gave the antidote, so as to claim credit?"
"Your statement is too far-fetched. Why did Han Canjun make such an unnecessary move?"
"Yes, if Han Canjun Pharmaceuticals succeeds, wouldn't it be more credit than the current one?"
Gu Xiu's complexion improved, and the expressions of the generals on the seats also improved.Most of those people, the doubts and questions just now were not directed at Han Mochu, but at Gu Xiu's poisoning.
Because Gu Xiu is the main general, if the main general dies before leaving the army, then those who accompany him will be the lives of the whole army.
At this moment, Gu Xiu's face softened, and everyone's reason once again gained the upper hand.
"Okay, stop arguing." Gu Xiu took a deep breath and expelled the turbid air in his chest: "Han Mochu, since this matter is in doubt, I will prove my innocence with you in two days. If you can't catch the real culprit after two days, this king can only deal with you by military law."
"Yes, at the end will obey."
It was cold at night.In order to avoid open flames, only a tripod smoker was burned in the cold cabin to keep warm.Gu Xiu, who was extremely tired, was wrapped in fox fur and leaned on Han Mochu's lap, closing his eyes and sleeping lightly, while Han Mochu was holding the dregs of the medicine he brewed today, looking for the faults bit by bit.
Although Han Mochu knew some pharmacology, he also memorized several ancient medical books when he was in Baiming Mountain, and he could understand the pulse of common diseases.But it is far inferior to Su Che's specialization in skills, and he can hardly identify some unorthodox medicines, such as today's tiger wolf grass, which he has never seen before, so when he tasted the medicine today, he didn't taste anything inappropriate.
"Have you got a clue?" Gu Xiu stood up from his knees, pulled the fox fur on his body, and surrounded Han Mochu's unarmored body.The temperature in the cabin was very low, and Han Mochu's whole body felt cold after sitting for a long time.Gu Xiu leaned on the man's back, warming him with his body temperature and fox fur: "It would be great if Mr. Su was here."
"Yes, it would be great if Chang Ru was here." Han Mochu put down the medicine jar in his hand, and his body was naturally stuck together with Gu Xiu: "But I have some clues. I asked the military doctor who was in touch with you. The military doctor said that the dose of tiger wolf grass that His Highness took today was mild and not fatal, so the minister did not have an attack after taking the medicine. The purpose of this person is obviously not to kill His Highness."
"Testing the medicine today concerns the entire army. Losing the trust of the entire army and the general is far more serious than losing his life." Gu Xiu hugged Han Mochu's back and sighed: "It can be seen that the army is not clean. Let's go out If you are not victorious, you will be defeated by your own people first."
"If Your Highness wins again this time, no one will be able to suppress the prestige in the previous court, so your brothers naturally don't want to see such a thing happen." Han Mochu let Gu Xiu wrap himself in the lenient fox Jory, her whole body pressed against his back like a stove.He and Gu Xiu are both men, and they are discussing life-and-death matters, and their minds are not at all concerned with any gossip or gossip.
"At first, I always thought that fighting for the country was a big deal. My fourth brother would not be so indifferent. He really did it when he was going out."
"Your Highness, do you think that only your fourth brother in the entire court is afraid of you?" Han Mochu tilted his head, looked at Gu Xiu's tall nose from the corner of his eye, and smiled softly.
"Ok?"
Gu Xiu doubted in disbelief.
In his impression, Prince Rui Gu Zhi was deposed in his early years, Prince Duan Gu Shen was incapacitated, and his sixth elder brother had difficulty getting up early for a day. Apart from the fourth elder brother who was determined to rise above others, he could still Who sees him as a thorn in the side?
"It seems that Your Highness is really a martial arts lunatic." Han Mochu chuckled, pulled out a little medicine dregs from the medicine jar, put it in his mouth and tasted it: "Your Highness, don't you know that your second sister-in-law is now pregnant, If you give birth to a boy, you will be the eldest grandson of His Majesty. Can you still remember the absurd things I did in the past? And your third brother who is disabled, his legs and weak I don’t know how many years it has been, but he has been secretly colluding with local officials in the past two years in Menxia Province.”
Gu Xiu was taken aback by Han Mochu's call.Gu Xiu also didn't know how his master, who almost lived with him, knew all these things by his side.
"Master, when did you..."
"Your Highness, don't care when I found out about it. I know everything, but this kind of thing happened despite all precautions."
"In fact, it's a good thing that this person started early. If this person hides deeper, wouldn't it be more troublesome when the two armies are fighting?"
"Your Highness protects the subject in front of everyone today, so you are not afraid that this medicine is really the subject's?" Han Mochu pretended to have no intention of asking.
"If you want my life, you can kill me while I'm asleep. I won't hide anyway, so why bother?" Gu Xiu put his hands around Han Mochu's waist, and put his face against Han Mochu's. Back: "In this world, only poor people like Father Huang can't even believe in their sincerity."
When Han Mo first heard the words, his heart was like a scorching firework.
Gu Xiu trusted him, believed him without reservation.Even though he was criticized by thousands of people, Gu Xiu still remained unmoved.
Gu Xiu's trust reassured Han Mochu completely, and he once again thought about the whole incident today.
From when Gu Xiu ordered him to prepare the medicine, to when he came back with the medicine bowl, and finally when Gu Xiu was poisoned in public, all the details in between went through Han Mochu's mind.Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "Silver needle, I didn't prepare the silver needle."
For today's matter, in order to avoid complications, Han Mochu did everything from preparing the medicine to brewing it himself, and never did any other steps in the middle.Only the silver needle used for poison testing was placed on the table when he mixed the medicine.
"Silver needle?" Gu Xiu frowned and pondered, then suddenly said, "Yes, it's a silver needle."
"Your Highness, do you still remember who passed the silver needle in when I went to prepare the medicine?" Han Mochu, who had already got a clue, finally gave up on the investigation of those medicine residues and medicine jars. Find the key silver needle in the book.
"It's a soldier, I still remember his appearance." Gu Xiu said with certainty.
Han Mochu rummaged through the evidence for a long time, but the silver needle was gone: "Your Highness, it doesn't matter if you remember, it passed through the hands of many people before it entered the cabin. The soldier who showed up last, Probably just a scapegoat." Han Mochu said while rubbing his aching temples: "It's my fault, I should have thought about the silver needle at that time, so I realized later..."
This time, it was one of the few times in Han Mochu's life that he regretted it.
He regretted that he did not bring his brother Chang Ru, who was skilled in medicine, with him this time.If Su Che was present today, even if this medicine was on someone's hair, he would definitely be able to see it.
"It doesn't matter, since we already have a clue, we will definitely come up with some unexpected people or things." Gu Xiu got up and stood in front of Han Mochu and patted Han Mochu's shoulder.
Unexpected?
Unexpected!
Han Mochu's mind turned quickly, and he quickly found the abrupt person from his memory.
That man was called Lin Cong, because there were a lot of boats and boats in this battle, King Gu Hong transferred six vanguard generals who were familiar with water battles from the Linjiang Navy of the Kingdom Dynasty, and Lin Cong was one of them.
Today, after Gu Xiu was poisoned and vomited blood, this Lin Cong has been hiding among the crowd, and kept accusing him of poisoning and assassination on Han Mochu's head in a few words.Even after Gu Xiu's face softened, it was this person who insisted on accusing Han Mochu of ulterior motives.
He is serving in the Linjiang Navy, and Han Mochu is the general of the Wang Division.The two had never met before the expedition, and they rarely met after the expedition.Obviously, this person's framing was not a personal grudge against him, Han Mochu.In addition, since he was able to blame Gu Xiu for being poisoned, then he must be related to the person who poisoned him.
Han Mochu, who had been thinking hard all night, finally raised that gentle smile again at the corner of his mouth: "What Your Highness said is that I have already got an idea. If Your Highness is not sleepy at this moment, would you like to accompany me to the court trial?"
"it is good."
At the end of the night, Lin Cong, who didn't know when he showed his flaws, was summoned by Gu Xiu's personal soldiers to the only darkroom on the main ship where Gu Xiu was located, which was used for interrogation.
The oil lamp in the dark room was brightly lit, and the big, hulking, silly Xionghu was standing in front of the door of the dark room and patrolling the surroundings holding the big ring machete.
In the darkroom, Gu Xiu was wearing light fur, leaning on the wooden high chair on the main seat of the darkroom with his shoulders in his arms, and looked coldly at the forest kneeling on the spot.
Han Mochu stood aside, raised his lips and smiled lightly, "General Lin, Your Highness summoned you here late at night, you should know what it is?"
Lin Cong's two eyes subconsciously glanced up, and then said: "Han Canjun was joking, what is your Highness's intention?"
"Well, it looks like General Lin doesn't intend to let His Highness sleep tonight." Han Mochu loosened his wrist joints, walked up to the person in two steps, stepped on the kneeling left leg of the person with one foot, and lifted the chest of the person with the other hand. Clothes: "Tell me, about today's drug testing, who instigated you to frame me and disturb the morale of the army?"
"Han Canjun, where do you start with your words? It's clear that you made a mistake in what happened today, and you can't just blame me for it in front of His Highness just to get rid of yourself. The people present today are suspicious. You are not the only one." Lin Cong thought that he hadn't shown any flaws, so he bet in his heart that Han Mochu was clearly trying to trick him with no evidence, so he made up his mind to carry it to the end.
"You're not the only one, but almost all the people present pointed to me at the instigation of you."
"Han Canjun, your framing is too far-fetched? His Royal Highness Zhan Wang is here, so you can't just talk nonsense." Lin Cong rolled his eyes and glanced at Gu Xiu who was sitting in the main seat: "Today, you have no evidence. Plead not guilty."
"Not guilty?" Han Mochu raised his eyebrows lightly, and picked up a horsewhip hanging on the wall.
"What? Does Han Canjun still want to torture him?" Lin Cong took two steps and stepped back: "His Royal Highness, tell me something, Han Canjun is extorting a confession by torture."
Gu Xiu's silence acquiesced in Han Mochu's next actions.
"Ah..." Han Mochu sighed while clutching the whip: "Actually, I wanted to use this whip to ask you, but if you really confessed with bruises all over your body, it will be difficult to convince everyone tomorrow. Besides, Your Highness is tired today, so I don't want to Your Highness Ren Xin has been with you for so long. So I can only ask quickly..."
After all, Han Mochu kicked Lin Cong to the ground with one foot, and then stepped on his chest two inches above his chest and slowly exerted force.
This is a kind of torture that does not leave any scars on the body. As the strength of the perpetrator increases, the victim will feel as if drowning. If the strength of the perpetrator increases to a certain level, the victim will be There will be backflow of blood, damage to the heart arteries and death.
"Tell me, who ordered you?" Han Mochu supported his knee with one hand, and put pressure on the bushes under his feet in a leisurely manner.
Lin Cong was also a tough guy who survived several times on the battlefield.
Han Mochu stepped on his chest, at first he just felt that there was a heavy stone on his chest and it was difficult to breathe.Gradually, he couldn't breathe anymore, he twisted his body instinctively, and grabbed around with both hands, but no matter how hard he struggled, he just couldn't get rid of Han Mochu's suppression.
"Tell me, who prepared the silver needle." Han Mochu suddenly raised his voice and stepped harder.
Han Mochu's purpose was very clear, if Lin Cong really had nothing to do with this matter, then he would not have any reaction when he heard the word Yinzhen, and vice versa.
Sure enough, when Lin Cong heard the word Yinzhen, his pupils shrank extremely quickly.
"I ask you, who prepared the silver needle?" Han Mochu put almost all the strength of his body on his left leg, swung the whip with one hand and smashed it on the ground next to the person, making a frightening crisp sound: " talk!"
Lin Cong's body twitched twice, followed by excrement and urine all over the floor.A lingering stench rose from the airtight dark room.Lin Cong's mind went blank, his survival instinct overcame everything, and he finally yelled out a name with all his might under such a face-losing situation: "Zhou! To! Ann!"
What people yell out under the extreme pain of survival must be the truth.
Zhou Zhi'an, the military doctor who immediately gave Gu Xiu his pulse when Gu Xiu was poisoned.It was also one of the five military doctors who developed the medicine together with Han Mochu this time.
"Your Highness, let the guards on duty at night go pick him up."
Han Mochu finally raised his feet benevolently, and Lin Cong was paralyzed on the ground, panting greedily, coughing continuously, and even vomited bloodshot and stomach acid together.
When Lin Cong's breathing gradually calmed down, he also realized that he had no room for excuses anymore, he could only kneel down in front of Gu Xiu like a bereaved dog, murmuring a few words about His Highness's mercy in his mouth .
Gu Xiu propped his forehead and glanced at Han Mochu, then shouted to Xionghu who was guarding outside the door: "Old Xiong, bring a few people to bring that military doctor surnamed Zhou, and lock him up with him."
Xiong Hu replied with a thick voice through the door of the dark room: "Yes!"
"Your Highness, go back and sleep first, I want to ask the two of them alone later."
"Is there anything you can't ask in front of me?" Gu Xiu stood up, frowning puzzled.
"It's not that you can't ask in front of His Highness, but there are some things they wouldn't tell the truth with His Highness."
"Forget it, but before noon tomorrow, I must deal with these two people to calm down the army."
"Your Highness, don't worry, it won't take two hours."
War King Gu Xiu led 17 troops to fight Goguryeo for the country.Since Tongding crossed the Liaoshui River, he wanted to attack Xuantu City first.
It was the frosty month of winter, and the river was turbulent.Many soldiers of the dynasty suffered from dizziness because they had never crossed the river by boat since they were young.

"For Your Highness, let's eat!" After the last battle against Mohe, Song Yu had been promoted to the rank of Captain Zhenwei in the army.
On the riverboat led by him, the soldiers whose faces were sallow due to seasickness all imitated his example, holding up the large coarse porcelain bowl in their hands, and stuffed the broth and Hubing into their mouths one by one.
Song Yu ate extraordinarily hard. Even though his stomach was overwhelmed at this time, he could forcefully stretch his neck and swallow the food one bite at a time.
If the general is the soul of a soldier, then Gu Xiu is the soul of Song Yu.
After lunch, Gu Xiu came down from the high platform with a normal expression, returned to the captain's cabin where he was resting, and fell on Han Mochu's lap, throwing up in a daze.

Gu Xiu's dizziness on the boat was very severe, and seasickness was also very strange.Some people are born to walk on the ground when they get on a boat, and some people will still feel dizzy no matter how many times they sit on it.

It was a feeling of powerlessness that he wished he could replace with his body.
However, what Han Mochu hated the most in his life was the word powerless, and what he disbelieved the most was also the word powerless.
Gu Xiu rinsed the filth from his mouth, his expression softened a little, and he asked softly, "How many days until the dock?"
Han Mochu leaned Gu Xiu's forehead on the armor on his shoulder, and replied softly, "Return to Your Highness, there are still eleven days."
"Yeah." Gu Xiu closed his eyes and leaned on Han Mochu's shoulder with peace of mind.
"Your Highness, I have discussed with the military doctor a new prescription that can relieve seasickness, and the medicine will be available within two days." Han Mochu straightened his shoulders and supported half of Gu Xiu's body steadily.

Two days later, the preparation of seasickness medicine jointly prepared by Han Mochu and five military doctors was completed.

"No, Your Highness is poisoned!"
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar.
"Poisoned? How could His Highness be poisoned? How could he be poisoned?"
The military doctor picked up the bowl of medicine that Gu Xiu drank just now, put it under his nose and sniffed it: "It's the medicine! There is tiger wolf grass in the medicine!"
"The medicine is prepared by Han Ginseng, so why is there a problem?"
"His Royal Highness was poisoned, the problem lies in this bowl of medicine! In any case, Han Canjun cannot get rid of it!"
At this time, Gu Xiu's ears were buzzing and his eyes were dark, but his consciousness was still clear. He heard everyone pointing to Han Mochu, and he pressed his chest forcibly to spit out all the concoction mixed with blood in his stomach. , suddenly slapped the table to suppress the disputes of the people: "Have you said enough?

"Enough! If Han Canjun wants to poison, why is he in full view? And why put himself in it?" Gu Xiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, endured the intense pain in his chest and stared at everyone coldly: "This Can't you see such an obvious frame? So whoever of you forces me to deal with Han Canjun today is the one who poisoned you!" Gu Xiu was so emotional that his blood surged even worse, and he leaned over and vomited a ball of blood again.
"Your Highness, don't talk too much, let the ministers detoxify you first." The old military doctor pinched Gu Xiu's veins, and said anxiously: "Come on, hurry up and prepare Sanhuang Tang!"
Before the military doctors got up and moved, Han Mochu stuffed the pills he carried with him into Gu Xiu's mouth.
"Han Mochu, what are you doing? Are you going to assassinate openly?"
"Han Mochu, what did you and Your Highness eat?"
Han Mochu didn't pay attention to anyone's questioning, he just supported Gu Xiu's shoulder and said, "His Royal Highness, breathe evenly."
After about a cup of tea, the fierce turbulence in Gu Xiu's chest gradually calmed down, and his complexion gradually turned from pale to rosy.
The military doctor, who was stunned by Han Mochu's actions, saw that Gu Xiu's face was calm, and went forward to check Gu Xiu's pulse again, and said in surprise, "His pulse has stabilized, and His Highness is fine! Han Canjun, you and Your Highness What kind of medicine did you take? Can you have a look with the old man?"
"This medicine is called Wuji Pill, and it was made by a strange person from overseas. The prescription cannot be seen by anyone." Han Mochu said solemnly.
"In my opinion, I'm afraid I dare not look at people. If there is no ghost in my heart, why don't I dare to look at people with the prescription? I don't know if I poisoned His Highness first, and then gave the antidote, so as to claim credit?"
"Your statement is too far-fetched. Why did Han Canjun make such an unnecessary move?"
"Yes, if Han Canjun Pharmaceuticals succeeds, wouldn't it be more credit than the current one?"
Gu Xiu's complexion improved, and the expressions of the generals on the seats also improved.Most of those people, the doubts and questions just now were not directed at Han Mochu, but at Gu Xiu's poisoning.
Because Gu Xiu is the main general, if the main general dies before leaving the army, then those who accompany him will be the lives of the whole army.
At this moment, Gu Xiu's face softened, and everyone's reason once again gained the upper hand.
"Okay, stop arguing." Gu Xiu took a deep breath and expelled the turbid air in his chest: "Han Mochu, since this matter is in doubt, I will prove my innocence with you in two days. If you can't catch the real culprit after two days, this king can only deal with you by military law."
"Yes, at the end will obey."
It was cold at night.In order to avoid open flames, only a tripod smoker was burned in the cold cabin to keep warm.Gu Xiu, who was extremely tired, was wrapped in fox fur and leaned on Han Mochu's lap, closing his eyes and sleeping lightly, while Han Mochu was holding the dregs of the medicine he brewed today, looking for the faults bit by bit.
Although Han Mochu knew some pharmacology, he also memorized several ancient medical books when he was in Baiming Mountain, and he could understand the pulse of common diseases.But it is far inferior to Su Che's specialization in skills, and he can hardly identify some unorthodox medicines, such as today's tiger wolf grass, which he has never seen before, so when he tasted the medicine today, he didn't taste anything inappropriate.
"Have you got a clue?" Gu Xiu stood up from his knees, pulled the fox fur on his body, and surrounded Han Mochu's unarmored body.The temperature in the cabin was very low, and Han Mochu's whole body felt cold after sitting for a long time.Gu Xiu leaned on the man's back, warming him with his body temperature and fox fur: "It would be great if Mr. Su was here."
"Yes, it would be great if Chang Ru was here." Han Mochu put down the medicine jar in his hand, and his body was naturally stuck together with Gu Xiu: "But I have some clues. I asked the military doctor who was in touch with you. The military doctor said that the dose of tiger wolf grass that His Highness took today was mild and not fatal, so the minister did not have an attack after taking the medicine. The purpose of this person is obviously not to kill His Highness."
"Testing the medicine today concerns the entire army. Losing the trust of the entire army and the general is far more serious than losing his life." Gu Xiu hugged Han Mochu's back and sighed: "It can be seen that the army is not clean. Let's go out If you are not victorious, you will be defeated by your own people first."
"If Your Highness wins again this time, no one will be able to suppress the prestige in the previous court, so your brothers naturally don't want to see such a thing happen." Han Mochu let Gu Xiu wrap himself in the lenient fox Jory, her whole body pressed against his back like a stove.He and Gu Xiu are both men, and they are discussing life-and-death matters, and their minds are not at all concerned with any gossip or gossip.
"At first, I always thought that fighting for the country was a big deal. My fourth brother would not be so indifferent. He really did it when he was going out."
"Your Highness, do you think that only your fourth brother in the entire court is afraid of you?" Han Mochu tilted his head, looked at Gu Xiu's tall nose from the corner of his eye, and smiled softly.
"Ok?"
Gu Xiu doubted in disbelief.
In his impression, Prince Rui Gu Zhi was deposed in his early years, Prince Duan Gu Shen was incapacitated, and his sixth elder brother had difficulty getting up early for a day. Apart from the fourth elder brother who was determined to rise above others, he could still Who sees him as a thorn in the side?
"It seems that Your Highness is really a martial arts lunatic." Han Mochu chuckled, pulled out a little medicine dregs from the medicine jar, put it in his mouth and tasted it: "Your Highness, don't you know that your second sister-in-law is now pregnant, If you give birth to a boy, you will be the eldest grandson of His Majesty. Can you still remember the absurd things I did in the past? And your third brother who is disabled, his legs and weak I don’t know how many years it has been, but he has been secretly colluding with local officials in the past two years in Menxia Province.”
Gu Xiu was taken aback by Han Mochu's call.Gu Xiu also didn't know how his master, who almost lived with him, knew all these things by his side.
"Master, when did you..."
"Your Highness, don't care when I found out about it. I know everything, but this kind of thing happened despite all precautions."
"In fact, it's a good thing that this person started early. If this person hides deeper, wouldn't it be more troublesome when the two armies are fighting?"
"Your Highness protects the subject in front of everyone today, so you are not afraid that this medicine is really the subject's?" Han Mochu pretended to have no intention of asking.
"If you want my life, you can kill me while I'm asleep. I won't hide anyway, so why bother?" Gu Xiu put his hands around Han Mochu's waist, and put his face against Han Mochu's. Back: "In this world, only poor people like Father Huang can't even believe in their sincerity."
When Han Mo first heard the words, his heart was like a scorching firework.
Gu Xiu trusted him, believed him without reservation.Even though he was criticized by thousands of people, Gu Xiu still remained unmoved.
Gu Xiu's trust reassured Han Mochu completely, and he once again thought about the whole incident today.
From when Gu Xiu ordered him to prepare the medicine, to when he came back with the medicine bowl, and finally when Gu Xiu was poisoned in public, all the details in between went through Han Mochu's mind.Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "Silver needle, I didn't prepare the silver needle."
For today's matter, in order to avoid complications, Han Mochu did everything from preparing the medicine to brewing it himself, and never did any other steps in the middle.Only the silver needle used for poison testing was placed on the table when he mixed the medicine.
"Silver needle?" Gu Xiu frowned and pondered, then suddenly said, "Yes, it's a silver needle."
"Your Highness, do you still remember who passed the silver needle in when I went to prepare the medicine?" Han Mochu, who had already got a clue, finally gave up on the investigation of those medicine residues and medicine jars. Find the key silver needle in the book.
"It's a soldier, I still remember his appearance." Gu Xiu said with certainty.
Han Mochu rummaged through the evidence for a long time, but the silver needle was gone: "Your Highness, it doesn't matter if you remember, it passed through the hands of many people before it entered the cabin. The soldier who showed up last, Probably just a scapegoat." Han Mochu said while rubbing his aching temples: "It's my fault, I should have thought about the silver needle at that time, so I realized later..."
This time, it was one of the few times in Han Mochu's life that he regretted it.
He regretted that he did not bring his brother Chang Ru, who was skilled in medicine, with him this time.If Su Che was present today, even if this medicine was on someone's hair, he would definitely be able to see it.
"It doesn't matter, since we already have a clue, we will definitely come up with some unexpected people or things." Gu Xiu got up and stood in front of Han Mochu and patted Han Mochu's shoulder.
Unexpected?
Unexpected!
Han Mochu's mind turned quickly, and he quickly found the abrupt person from his memory.
That man was called Lin Cong, because there were a lot of boats and boats in this battle, King Gu Hong transferred six vanguard generals who were familiar with water battles from the Linjiang Navy of the Kingdom Dynasty, and Lin Cong was one of them.
Today, after Gu Xiu was poisoned and vomited blood, this Lin Cong has been hiding among the crowd, and kept accusing him of poisoning and assassination on Han Mochu's head in a few words.Even after Gu Xiu's face softened, it was this person who insisted on accusing Han Mochu of ulterior motives.
He is serving in the Linjiang Navy, and Han Mochu is the general of the Wang Division.The two had never met before the expedition, and they rarely met after the expedition.Obviously, this person's framing was not a personal grudge against him, Han Mochu.In addition, since he was able to blame Gu Xiu for being poisoned, then he must be related to the person who poisoned him.
Han Mochu, who had been thinking hard all night, finally raised that gentle smile again at the corner of his mouth: "What Your Highness said is that I have already got an idea. If Your Highness is not sleepy at this moment, would you like to accompany me to the court trial?"
"it is good."
At the end of the night, Lin Cong, who didn't know when he showed his flaws, was summoned by Gu Xiu's personal soldiers to the only darkroom on the main ship where Gu Xiu was located, which was used for interrogation.
The oil lamp in the dark room was brightly lit, and the big, hulking, silly Xionghu was standing in front of the door of the dark room and patrolling the surroundings holding the big ring machete.
In the darkroom, Gu Xiu was wearing light fur, leaning on the wooden high chair on the main seat of the darkroom with his shoulders in his arms, and looked coldly at the forest kneeling on the spot.
Han Mochu stood aside, raised his lips and smiled lightly, "General Lin, Your Highness summoned you here late at night, you should know what it is?"
Lin Cong's two eyes subconsciously glanced up, and then said: "Han Canjun was joking, what is your Highness's intention?"
"Well, it looks like General Lin doesn't intend to let His Highness sleep tonight." Han Mochu loosened his wrist joints, walked up to the person in two steps, stepped on the kneeling left leg of the person with one foot, and lifted the chest of the person with the other hand. Clothes: "Tell me, about today's drug testing, who instigated you to frame me and disturb the morale of the army?"
"Han Canjun, where do you start with your words? It's clear that you made a mistake in what happened today, and you can't just blame me for it in front of His Highness just to get rid of yourself. The people present today are suspicious. You are not the only one." Lin Cong thought that he hadn't shown any flaws, so he bet in his heart that Han Mochu was clearly trying to trick him with no evidence, so he made up his mind to carry it to the end.
"You're not the only one, but almost all the people present pointed to me at the instigation of you."
"Han Canjun, your framing is too far-fetched? His Royal Highness Zhan Wang is here, so you can't just talk nonsense." Lin Cong rolled his eyes and glanced at Gu Xiu who was sitting in the main seat: "Today, you have no evidence. Plead not guilty."
"Not guilty?" Han Mochu raised his eyebrows lightly, and picked up a horsewhip hanging on the wall.
"What? Does Han Canjun still want to torture him?" Lin Cong took two steps and stepped back: "His Royal Highness, tell me something, Han Canjun is extorting a confession by torture."
Gu Xiu's silence acquiesced in Han Mochu's next actions.
"Ah..." Han Mochu sighed while clutching the whip: "Actually, I wanted to use this whip to ask you, but if you really confessed with bruises all over your body, it will be difficult to convince everyone tomorrow. Besides, Your Highness is tired today, so I don't want to Your Highness Ren Xin has been with you for so long. So I can only ask quickly..."
After all, Han Mochu kicked Lin Cong to the ground with one foot, and then stepped on his chest two inches above his chest and slowly exerted force.
This is a kind of torture that does not leave any scars on the body. As the strength of the perpetrator increases, the victim will feel as if drowning. If the strength of the perpetrator increases to a certain level, the victim will be There will be backflow of blood, damage to the heart arteries and death.
"Tell me, who ordered you?" Han Mochu supported his knee with one hand, and put pressure on the bushes under his feet in a leisurely manner.
Lin Cong was also a tough guy who survived several times on the battlefield.
Han Mochu stepped on his chest, at first he just felt that there was a heavy stone on his chest and it was difficult to breathe.Gradually, he couldn't breathe anymore, he twisted his body instinctively, and grabbed around with both hands, but no matter how hard he struggled, he just couldn't get rid of Han Mochu's suppression.
"Tell me, who prepared the silver needle." Han Mochu suddenly raised his voice and stepped harder.
Han Mochu's purpose was very clear, if Lin Cong really had nothing to do with this matter, then he would not have any reaction when he heard the word Yinzhen, and vice versa.
Sure enough, when Lin Cong heard the word Yinzhen, his pupils shrank extremely quickly.
"I ask you, who prepared the silver needle?" Han Mochu put almost all the strength of his body on his left leg, swung the whip with one hand and smashed it on the ground next to the person, making a frightening crisp sound: " talk!"
Lin Cong's body twitched twice, followed by excrement and urine all over the floor.A lingering stench rose from the airtight dark room.Lin Cong's mind went blank, his survival instinct overcame everything, and he finally yelled out a name with all his might under such a face-losing situation: "Zhou! To! Ann!"
What people yell out under the extreme pain of survival must be the truth.
Zhou Zhi'an, the military doctor who immediately gave Gu Xiu his pulse when Gu Xiu was poisoned.It was also one of the five military doctors who developed the medicine together with Han Mochu this time.
"Your Highness, let the guards on duty at night go pick him up."
Han Mochu finally raised his feet benevolently, and Lin Cong was paralyzed on the ground, panting greedily, coughing continuously, and even vomited bloodshot and stomach acid together.
When Lin Cong's breathing gradually calmed down, he also realized that he had no room for excuses anymore, he could only kneel down in front of Gu Xiu like a bereaved dog, murmuring a few words about His Highness's mercy in his mouth .
Gu Xiu propped his forehead and glanced at Han Mochu, then shouted to Xionghu who was guarding outside the door: "Old Xiong, bring a few people to bring that military doctor surnamed Zhou, and lock him up with him."
Xiong Hu replied with a thick voice through the door of the dark room: "Yes!"
"Your Highness, go back and sleep first, I want to ask the two of them alone later."
"Is there anything you can't ask in front of me?" Gu Xiu stood up, frowning puzzled.
"It's not that you can't ask in front of His Highness, but there are some things they wouldn't tell the truth with His Highness."
"Forget it, but before noon tomorrow, I must deal with these two people to calm down the army."
"Your Highness, don't worry, it won't take two hours."
