General Essence Sticky Essence

Chapter 16 Red Forsythia

Xie Xuan has been busy these few days, and finally took care of many matters for the new emperor.Sitting in the imperial study, the young new emperor said to Xie Xuan: "Cousin, you have worked hard." Xie Xuan lowered his head: "Your Majesty, there are differences between monarchs and ministers, or..." The emperor nodded and said: " Ai Qing has worked hard, go back and rest first."

"I have one more thing. Da Sima is not punishable. Now he is still in prison. I don't know when the emperor plans to deal with it?"

"Leave it to Aiqing."

"...Yes. The emperor has a good rest, and I will leave."

After the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he has always respected and loved Xie Xuan. Xie Xuansu knew that he was soft-tempered, but now he is a bit more dependent on the regent.Xie Xuan thought, if things go on like this, it is inevitable that caring people will have criticisms, and it is necessary to wait for the situation to stabilize before letting go.

With a confused mind, he went to the prison first, and decided to give Li Xie an ultimatum.Li Xie was also imprisoned in the water prison, the same one that He Qing was in before.This was arranged by Xie Xuan who abused his power in order to vent his anger on He Qing, and asked the jailer to release water on time every day, so as to prevent this old bone from dying in it.

This is the first time Xie Xuan came to see Li Xie in prison since the night of the late emperor's death. Only after seeing him did he realize that the normally arrogant Sima seemed to have aged ten years in a short period of time.Hearing the voice, he raised his eyes with difficulty and saw Xie Xuan, then snorted through his nose, his eyes full of sneering.

Xie Xuan thought it was funny, he was clearly defeated, but what does this expression mean?

He didn't bother to talk nonsense, and cut straight to the point: "If the king is willing to help Da Sima settle down his family, Da Sima is willing to tell the king, where are your private soldiers and what is the scale?"

A trace of astonishment flashed in Li Xie's eyes.

"Don't be surprised by the great Sima. Such things as raising private soldiers by government officials have happened throughout the ages. This king can naturally think of it. It's just the scale and where it is used. These further determine whether it is serious or serious."

Li Xie said: "No comment."

Xie Xuan originally thought that in such a situation, he should have a chance to pry Li Xie's mouth open, but he didn't expect him to be so stubborn.

"Great Sima is now ruined, and Uncle Zhang Guo didn't protect you in a critical moment, so why bother?"

Unexpectedly, Li Xie snorted and said slowly: "I am ruined? Even if I have nothing, I still have one success."

For some reason, Xie Xuan felt a chill rising from behind.

Li Xi suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly. After a few laughs, he seemed to lose his strength. He coughed violently, with one corner of his mouth still raised.He coughed for a while, then spit out a mouthful of phlegm, and the saliva floated around his neck, causing Xie Xuan to frown.

But he snorted indifferently, his expression became ferocious, and he said, "My lord knows the red forsythia, right? That's right! It's the poison that killed your father!"

Xie Xuan stared at him without speaking.

"The poison of red forsythia penetrates into the wound silently, and no one will notice!" He said every word clearly, his voice became in harmony with his expression "It's a fever at first, and you'll think it's a normal fever, hahahahaha! Within a few days, your legs and feet will be weak, and you can't even stand up. Every step you take feels like you've stepped on cotton. Then you start to feel dizzy." , the five senses are slowly failing, and the eyes are smeared! If you faint, it will be poisoned to the bone marrow!"

Xie Xuan unconsciously took a step back, almost losing his footing.

"My lord must have memories. Was it like this when the king of Anyang County died, hahahahaha!"

"Shut up, shut up!"

Of course Li Xie would not shut up, he lowered his voice, looking very strange in the water dungeon at night: "Prince Regent, guess, is General He still awake at this moment?"

Xie Xuan felt that his brain was buzzing and exploded, and all his thoughts were shaking. He didn't care about thinking, and ran outside.The moment he left the gate of the big prison, he managed to maintain his composure for a moment, and found someone indiscriminately, and said, "Quick! Please go to the He Mansion with the imperial doctor! Call anyone who is free, the more the better!"

Xie Xuan rode his horse and rushed towards He's mansion, and all the scenes of his father's death appeared in front of his eyes like a revolving lantern. His father was lying on the bed, he couldn't see, he couldn't hear, he couldn't stand up, he couldn't speak, He just held Xie Xuan's hand tightly; he couldn't see, couldn't hear, couldn't speak!He can't see it!He can't hear!Xie Xuan's brain could barely function, and he relied on his body to mechanically control the horse rope.

Finally, he arrived at the He residence.Jumping off the horse in a hurry, Xie Xuan ran towards the mansion with big strides, bumped into someone with a bang, Xie Xuan was in a state of confusion, couldn't stop all of a sudden, fell to the ground, his face was very pale.

Then he heard He Yun's voice: "Hey! Brother Zichen, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Xuan's thoughts were pulled back all of a sudden, he saw He Yun in front of him clearly, stood up with concentration, and asked: "Where's your elder brother?" As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was unreasonably hoarse.

He Yun frowned, and said, "Brother is recuperating at home, what happened, Brother Zichen?"

Xie Xuan shook his head, pulled He Yun and walked quickly towards the mansion.

It was already late at this time, so He Qing was naturally preparing to rest in his room.Xie Xuan said outside the door: "Sister-in-law!" He Yun stared at Xie Xuan, wondering what's going on?

Chen Xiu's voice came from inside: "Zi Chen?"

"It's me. I'm sorry to bother you in the middle of the night. Could you please open the door? I have to go in and see Lin Xuan."

He Qing's voice also came: "What's the matter? What's the matter!" Xie Xuan sensitively noticed that He Qing's voice was not as airy as usual.

While speaking, Chen Xiu had already come to open the door, Xie Xuan hurriedly said, "Thank you, sister-in-law," and hurried in.

He Qing sat up, and when he saw Xie Xuan, he asked, "Why is your complexion so bad?"

Xie Xuan didn't answer, and asked directly: "How are you today? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

He Qing paused: "My body is strong, what could be uncomfortable?"

Chen Xiu had already noticed Xie Xuan's strangeness at this time, and hurriedly said: "I almost passed out an hour ago, it is said that it was caused by too violently getting up."

Xie Xuan immediately felt as if he had been thrown into an ice cellar, very cold.He didn't want to give up: "Lin Xuan, tell me the truth, is there anything uncomfortable?"

He Qing glanced at Chen Xiu who was on the side, opened his mouth, and Chen Xiu became anxious: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Tell me!"

"Axiu, don't worry. I'm just a little dizzy and my ears are buzzing. It's nothing uncomfortable. I had a severe fever a few days ago, which is normal."

Xie Xuan couldn't breathe for a moment, he managed to maintain his expression, and said: "That's good, I've been busy these days, I didn't take care of you, so I just came to see you, as long as you're fine. You guys should rest early , Sister-in-law interrupted."

Although Chen Xiu felt a little strange, she still said: "Zi Chen, you probably haven't had a good rest these days, and your complexion is very bad. Don't go back to the palace tonight, your room has been tidied up, so stay here."

Xie Xuan nodded, turned and left.He Yun looked around with an unclear face, and followed him out.

He Yun stood behind Xie Xuan and was about to speak, but found that Xie Xuan's shoulders were shaking very badly. He hurriedly turned to the front, Xie Xuan closed his eyes and was gasping for breath, looking a little scary, like asthma.

"Brother Zichen? Big brother!" He Yun was very worried, he had never seen Xie Xuan like this.

Xie Xuan opened his eyes abruptly when he heard this call, his eyes were terribly red and filled with murderous intent, He Yun was frightened by this moment.But Xie Xuan quickly regained his senses, hugged He Yun in front of him involuntarily, exerted a lot of strength with his arms, and it hurt He Yun, but he didn't dare to move.

He Yun tried to use a soothing tone and whispered: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Xie Xuan's voice rang in his ears after a while, with a strong nasal voice: "Mingxian, I... I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on."

Several imperial physicians arrived together, the concierge ran in, saw the scene in front of him, hesitated for a moment before saying: "My lord, Second Young Master, there are several imperial physicians outside the door."

Imperial physician?What do you call a doctor for?He Yun rolled his eyes back and forth, and suddenly froze. He thought of a possibility that he didn't dare to think about.

Only then did Xie Xuan let him go, his look and voice returned to normal: "Ming Xian, you go back to the house first."

He Yun shook his head subconsciously. Normally, he would obediently avoid the brothers discussing matters, but at this moment he just felt that he couldn't walk away.

Xie Xuan said: "Good."

He Yun turned his head into a rattle, and stubbornly tugged at Xie Xuan's sleeve.Xie Xuan was silent for a moment, didn't insist anymore, took He Yun to the door, and signaled the porter to close the door.

There were four or five imperial physicians waiting in front of the door, and when they saw Xie Xuan, they all saluted and said, "See you, my lord."

Xie Xuan: "There is no need to be too polite. Let me ask all the imperial physicians, have you ever heard of the poison of red forsythia?" He Yun did not make a sound at the side, listening silently.

An imperial doctor said: "I heard that it is a kind of flower in the Western Regions, and its pollen is highly poisonous."

"Is there a solution?" Xie Xuan asked anxiously.He Yun suddenly looked at Xie Xuan, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

Several imperial physicians looked at each other, and one of them said: "This poison is colorless and odorless. It usually invades the skin along with the wound, and then penetrates into the bone marrow after a few days. Symptoms such as dizziness, blurred vision, and weakness of legs and feet appear..."

"My elder brother asked if there is a solution!" He Yun said suddenly, his tone very excited.These symptoms are exactly the same as He Qing's current symptoms, He Yun is not stupid, he immediately thought that He Qing was poisoned.

Xie Xuan stretched out his hand to hold He Yun: "I'm sorry, all the imperial physicians, but the situation is urgent, can you solve it?"

Several imperial physicians all showed embarrassment, "The poison of the red forsythia is immersed in the flesh and blood, this..."

The meaning is clear.

"Aren't you the best imperial doctors in the imperial hospital! The imperial court provides food and clothing for you, so you can't do anything!" He Yun rushed forward with all his strength, Xie Xuan had great strength in his hand, and barely grabbed him .He hurriedly said to the imperial physicians: "I would like to trouble you all to make a trip, but I hope you will do your best in this matter, and tell the king the result in three days at the latest."

"My lord...this..."

"Please! Also, don't spread the word."

"The ministers understand, and the ministers will leave first."

"Don't go!" He Yun blushed and wanted to jump up, Xie Xuan forced He Yun back, and pressed his head to his chest with one hand.He Yun refused, and stretched out his hand to push Xie Xuan away: "I don't care! They want to save my big brother! Save my big brother!"

After all, He Yun's strength was still not as strong as Xie Xuan's. He couldn't break free, so he threw himself on Xie Xuan and cried loudly. Xie Xuan kept touching his head with one hand, and said, "Mingxian, don't cry, the mansion Everyone should hear it."

Only then did He Yun sob softly.Xie Xuan didn't know what to do, so he could only comfort softly: "Okay, Mingxian, it will be fine."

Suddenly, He Yun raised his head slightly and said, "Sister-in-law?"

Xie Xuan turned around abruptly, and found that the door opened a gap at some point, and Chen Xiu was standing there with no expression on his face.
