Chapter 34 Where is the prince?
Time seems to have stopped, and the picture is frozen in front of the day.
It was a snake, not big in size, but extremely swift, and it came towards the daylight. In an instant, he could clearly see the fangs and the scarlet letter in the snake's mouth.
He smelled a stench coming from his face.
Bai Tian couldn't dodge in time, so he subconsciously blocked it with his hands.But this snake is obviously a poisonous species that seals its throat when it sees blood...
Seeing that the fangs were about to touch Bai Tian's arm.It was out of sight again in an instant.
At the moment of Sixu, King Yuanning grabbed the tail of the snake, and then heard a muffled "bang", the head of the snake was slammed down on the bedpost by the prince.
The snake was stunned, but not dead.
The prince stopped Bugo, who was holding a stool and wanted to "make up the knife", and ordered to bring the cage and put the snake in it.
Bai Tian was still in shock, the snake must have just finished biting the person, and it was still under King Rui's quilt, he threw it over and wrapped it up, and it was bound to bite when it got out of trouble.
Seeing him like this, King Yuanning asked, "Are you hurt?"
Looking at the savior, Bai Tian shook his head and said, "Thank you," then caught a glimpse of the snake in the cage and asked, "Do you want to keep it as a pet?"
The prince smiled and said, "I'm afraid this is really someone's pet."
The two looked at each other, knowing that if they had to point their suspicion at one person, it would be Peng Qi.But after all, it is just suspicion, without any substantive evidence.
If it was really him, the peach blossom pool behind this person might be thousands of feet deep, the edge cannot be seen, the bottom cannot be traced, and he doesn't know what it means.
After a shock, it had been a long time since General Xunshu was heard.
To say that this General Xunshu is actually a military dog domesticated by the Ministry of Punishment.Ever since Bai Tian entered the book, he knew that there were military dogs in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and he specially observed a training session, and then wrote a thin booklet based on the books he had read about the domestication of military dogs in reality. The officials of the Ministry of Punishment were amazed after seeing it.
Never thought about it, but it will come in handy soon.
The military dogs searched for King Rui's breath all the way to South Moxidi.
Ever since the eunuch Xiaoji went berserk and hurt people and animals in this area, very few palace people came here again. It was deserted during the day, and even more inexplicably gloomy at night.Everywhere I look, I feel that the moonlight is bleak, and the only light is barren.
Beside the stream, military dogs barked a few times as a warning.
I saw a circle of broken stones beside the water, and the things in the middle had been burned to ashes.After flipping through it a few times, there were only a few pieces of clothes remaining, the color and design belonged to Lord Rui's clothes, maybe even the last emperor's last edict was turned into a pile of ashes.
With a pile of messy stones in front of him during the day, he only felt a stuffiness in his chest—everything seemed to be happy for him since he entered through the book, but in the end, when he thought about it, he was not so happy.
There is always a force secretly competing with him.
He thought it was the King of Yuanning, but now he doesn't feel like it.
Thinking of this, he sent someone to Funan, if the culprit was really Peng Qi, although he didn't know where he was now, but he couldn't just sit and wait for death.
During the day, the personal servant of King Rui asked him if he knew what the lord's entry into the capital was. The old slave said that the lord had been drinking medicine before this trip, so he must be in poor health. Shut himself in the study, no one can enter, no one knows what he is doing.
As for the last emperor's edict, the old slave guessed that the prince did keep it with him, because since entering the capital, the prince changed his clothes by himself and did not want to be waited upon.
Upwards, Bai Tian had no choice but to make up a set of excuses, saying that poisonous snakes mixed into the imperial garden at some time, biting Prince Rui, and the prince died without treatment.
As for Princess Duanshu, she gave comfort, but what's the use of it.
According to the "Law of Dayao Household", King Rui's son descended to the title of Duke of Ruikang, and the fief remained unchanged.
After this kind of thing happened, even though the previous court was relatively peaceful recently, Bai Tian still felt depressed.
After dinner that day, it rained heavily outside.
Leaning against the window during the day, holding a book casually, turning a few pages is boring.
His thoughts drifted to King Yuanning again, he didn't know what he was busy with these few days, and he didn't see anyone all day long.For the prince to be by his side, has he become so used to it?How did the original owner, Bai Jing, fall into the affection of the prince?
He felt that King Yuanning didn't do anything to him, but he seemed to have done a lot.
"Where's your lord?"
Bugo was looking at the petals of the spring branches in the yard that had been swept away by the wind and rain. When he heard the emperor's question, he immediately bowed and replied: "My lord has been staying in the alchemy of the imperial pharmacy for the past few days. I heard that he spent almost all night. They don’t sleep and don’t disturb others, and they don’t know what they’re researching.”
After thinking for a while during the day, he said, "I'll go and have a look, I don't need a transmission car."
As he said that, he pushed open the door, and the bleakness of the spring rain rushed towards him. Bugo hurriedly put on a fur cloak for him, opened his umbrella and followed.
From Yushufang to Danlu, there is a very close path, with apricot blossoms planted on both sides of the road, and when it rains, it has the artistic conception of apricot rain.
The daytime walks very slowly, and he is also generous in his bones. Walking in the drizzle, the moist and fresh air is inhaled into the nasal cavity and moistened into the lungs, which is very comfortable.
It's just that the apricot blossoms moisten the rain and thank the branches, and the youth is too hasty.
Added a little melancholy.
At this point, the imperial physicians of the Royal Pharmacy had already been on duty, and only the two on duty were lighting a secluded lamp.Bai Tian didn't make a fuss, quietly walked around the front hall, and turned to Danlu on the side.
Through the window paper, I saw Yuanning Wang Qichang's handsome figure, who was writing with a pen and didn't know what he was writing. After writing a few strokes, he stopped to think for a while.
Gu Ying misses, the figure reflected in the window shadow is very similar to Jian Lanyuan's appearance when she was writing.
At this moment, the prince put down his pen, turned to the door and opened it——
The umbrella was covered with reddish apricot blossoms, and the people under the umbrella were dazed in light fur.
The emperor has a pair of slightly slanted peach blossom eyes, which are usually indifferent, but casual glances make people feel alienated and moody, but now through the rain, it is not very clear, it seems that the eyes are thick The affection in the book is quite familiar.
Unknowingly, there was a wry smile on the corner of the prince's mouth, the emperor's temper was like daytime, so he couldn't help but care about him.The other party seemed to be happy to see himself wearing the original owner's skin, flaunting in front of him every day, chatting for comfort.
Thinking about it this way, if one day we talk about it, we should really cherish each other, at least we can be a confidant.
Standing beside Baitian, Bugo saw the two of them looking at each other through the rain curtain. Their eyes were like slivers of honey, greasy and sticky. Do not squint.
Finally, the prince broke the deadlock first: "Come in, why are you still standing in the cold rain?"
The emperor's clothes were soaked in the coldness of the spring rain, which diluted the warmth of the ambergris he often used, and the smell suddenly rushed into the realm full of medicinal fragrance, which was very obvious.
It made King Yuanning feel that the person in front of him was extremely real.
Danlu is a place for refining medicine, the walls are covered with pharmaceutical equipment and unknown medicinal materials, there are countless bottles and jars on several large tables, and books and papers are spread out.
Bai Tian quickly glanced at the books on the table, most of them were theories and prescriptions for treating heart disease.
Looking at the corner, there is a wooden bed, which is only big enough for one person to lie down on. I heard that the prince spends most of his days here, but this bed...
It doesn't look very comfortable.
Before regaining consciousness, a little warmth was handed over to Bai Tian's hand, it was a cup of hot tea from the prince.He held the teacup in his palm and took a sip.
It has a special taste, it is slightly bitter in the mouth, after a while, it will produce fluid and return to sweetness, and there will be a light fragrance with medicinal smell from the root of the tongue.
Wang Yuanning said: "This tea is my newly prepared herbal tea, which can nourish the heart. If Ah Jing is used to drinking it, he will drink it often."
Bai Zhou nodded and asked him, "What have you been up to these days?"
The prince smiled, pointed to the corner, and saw that the "murderer" who killed King Rui was still locked in the cage: "Study snake venom."
In ancient times, Chinese medicine did not have the concept of serum.Over time, doctors have divided snake venom into wind poison, fire poison and wind fire poison. As the name suggests, wind poison produces fright, fire poison produces heat, and wind fire poison has both.
King Yuanning didn't know the snake that bit King Rui, so he searched many ancient books without sleep, and came to the conclusion that it must be a breed specially bred by someone, just like a donkey and a horse can give birth to a mule.
In addition to the toxicity of wind and fire, the venom of this snake also has a very special damp evil.Snake venom should be dry and strong, but the presence of dampness makes it even more difficult to detoxify.
Unpredictable intentions are revealed everywhere.
The prince didn't point it out, but with his thoughts during the day, how could he not understand the good intentions of King Yuanning who forgot to sleep and eat.
This person in front of him, Ziwei Ling's work is complicated during the day, and now he is busy making antidote, he seems to have lost weight after a few days of not seeing him.
In the past, I saw him as a handsome and handsome young man, but today under the light, his figure is so thin that the folds of his clothes seem to be sharp.
Can't help asking him: "Where is the jade man, why don't you serve him?"
The prince tidied up the scattered books on the table, and said: "Let him find a medicine primer to neutralize the potency of the antidote." As he spoke, he talked about his experience in developing the antidote in the past few days.
Bai Tian didn't want to interrupt, watching him talk about medical skills, even if he half understood, it was still pleasing to the eye.
The emperor came to Danhu in person, and King Yuanning couldn't stay here. Fortunately, he felt that the antidote had already been completed. Then he followed the emperor back to Chaolu Palace.
Seeing the white jade sachet that he used to soothe the emperor on the couch in the inner hall was placed on the side of his pillow, he didn't know what it was like, and had a vague urge to ask the emperor if he already knew that he was not the original owner, Yuan Ning king.
The impulse flashed by, and the prince introspected: After all, being with the king is like accompanying a tiger. If something goes wrong, wouldn't it be a catastrophe...
Bai Tian's mind is delicate, even extremely sensitive. Ever since Lu Shui and his party, he felt that something was wrong with the prince, and he treated him the same on the surface, but there was always something different in his heart. If he had to say something, it seemed... a bit twisted .
The embarrassment of each other's thoughts was interrupted by Bugo's action of delivering supper.
For the imperial dinner supper, if there is a portion for the emperor, there is also a portion for the prince. This has long been a habit in the imperial dining room. The supper prepared today looks like some kind of stew. Two silver soup cups are placed on the table.
I was really hungry during the daytime, so Bugo didn't have to take care of him, and he told the prince to do what he wanted, and sat down and lifted the silver lid of the soup pot. The moment his fingers touched the lid, he felt cold and wondered to himself—how could the imperial dining room Ready to get colder in April?
Uncovering it casually, who knows, there is no food in the eye-catching soup pot, but a small snake as thick as a finger, lying coiled in it, lifeless and motionless.
The pattern on his body is the same as the one that killed King Rui.
It was because the coldness of the lid of the soup cup aroused a ten-thousandth vigilance in Bai Tian's heart, and he subconsciously wanted to slam the lid back.
Almost at the same time, there was another ethereal bird song outside Chaolu Hall, and the snake was startled for a moment.
He bounced up from the soup cup and rushed towards the unexpected visitor in front of him.
The cover in Bai Tian's hand fell, and with a "click", it caught half of the snake's tail.
But because its speed is too fast, I'm afraid even the snake himself didn't expect that under the momentum...
Tail, broken.
Between the sparks, the snake's body coiled around Bai Tian's wrist, and another force was exerted on his wrist, as fast as a light and shadow.
It was too late for Bai Tian to reach out to block it, and was bitten on the neck by it.
--------------------
The author has something to say:
Bai Tian: Cough, after suffering this sooner or later, why bother asking the prince to catch the snake...
Author: The difference between ending directly and writing another fifty chapters.
Snake: I understand, just to make you unable to wish for death.
