Poor Lady - Chapter 74
Gu Jinyun and Qi Surong discussed and decided to hide from Gu Chang for the time being, and asked Jiang Yao to come and check it out.
Qi Surong asked Jiang Yao to come to Gu’s house on the pretext of being unwell.
Jiang Yao took Gu Jinyun’s pulse, his face was solemn, and he didn’t speak for a long time. Although Gu Qi and the two were anxious, they did not interrupt his thoughts.
After a while, Jiang Yao said, “My son is not sick, but poisoned.”
Qi Surong was not surprised to hear the answer, and asked, “What kind of poison is this? Is there a way to detoxify it?”
Jiang Yao shook his head: “This poison should come from the Western Regions, and I have only heard of it. It is said that there is a poisonous weed in the Western Regions called ‘Kangyao’, which can make people mad if eaten, but this state will only last for an hour or two. After that, it can return to normal, and unless it is eaten for a long time, it will not continue to develop.”
“Doctor Jiang’s meaning is that someone has given my husband this kind of food for a long time?” Qi Surong and Gu Jinyun looked at each other.
“That’s not necessarily true.” Jiang Yao said again, “There is also a possibility that someone has refined a poison that can cause people to go mad for a long time, which improves the effectiveness of the scorpion.”
Gu Jinyun said: “If someone poisons me for a long time, I can’t fail to find out.”
“I’m afraid it’s not easy to refine this kind of poison, right?” Qi Surong guessed.
Jiang Yao nodded: “This kind of poison is rare in the Central Plains, and it should have come from the hands of Western Regions pharmacists. You’d better find this person as soon as possible, only he can help you detoxify, and the time is faster. According to my diagnosis, the number of times the son has the disease. There will be more and more, and the time of each illness will be longer and longer, and at most three months, his life will be in danger.”
Gu Jinyun’s eyes narrowed, and Qi Surong’s heart tightened.
After sending Jiang Yao away, Qi Surong asked, “Jin Yun, do you have any contact with people from the Western Regions?”
“I have done several sales and purchases, but they are all low-value goods. There has been no conflict in the transaction, and there is absolutely no possibility of enmity.”
“That’s strange, how many people in Weiguo know this kind of poison? Why did they poison you?” Qi Surong was puzzled, but she faintly felt that she seemed to have overlooked something and couldn’t remember it for a while.
“I’ll check it out, don’t worry too much.” Gu Jinyun hugged her in his arms and said comfortably.
“Don’t worry too much? Doctor Jiang said just now that you only have three months! How can you find the antidote in such a short time?” Qi Surong frowned.
“For you, I won’t die easily.”
“That’s what you said, don’t break your word.”
“Well, I still have this with me.” Gu Jinyun took out the handkerchief with the piglet embroidered on it.
Qi Surong smiled through tears: “Okay, every time you break your promise, I’ll embroider a little pig on your clothes.”
“Okay.”
“That’s right.” Qi Surong asked, “Are you going to keep your father hidden from them?”
Gu Jinyun was silent for a moment, and said, “Hold it on first, telling them it’s just adding to their troubles, and if this matter spreads, it won’t do any good except disturb people’s hearts.”
“Okay, I support your decision.” Qi Surong nodded, “You don’t have to go to the study room in the future, I’ll tie it to my bed at night.”
“…Good.”
Although Jiang Yao was helpless about this poison, he could help Gu Jinyun to relieve the symptoms of the disease a little. Gu Jinyun usually goes crazy every two or three days, but after taking the pills prepared by Jiang Yao, he can still maintain a bit of reason.
During the day, Gu Jinyun handled affairs as usual. However, it takes more than two months to go back and forth from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, not to mention that the pharmacists they found may not be able to detoxify this poison.
At night, Gu Jinyun would be tied into a zongzi and lie rigidly beside Qi Surong. If he couldn’t help shouting, Qi Surong would block his mouth with a towel. If the rest of the Gu family saw this scene, they would be too frightened to speak, this scene is too brutal…
For the past month, things have gone nowhere. Qi Surong quickly discovered that three of Gu Jinyun’s nails had turned blue. She was anxious, but helpless.
The people who were sent to the Western Regions have not heard from them yet, and it is not known whether they will be able to bring back a pharmacist successfully. It’s a pity that she didn’t know much about the Western Regions in her previous life, if it was Feng Zhan… Feng Zhan? Qi Surong’s eyes lit up, she finally knew what she had neglected before. Among the people she knew, the person who had malice towards Gu Jinyun and knew the strange poison in the Western Regions was none other than Feng Zhan. He often traveled to foreign countries and knew a lot about the local scenery. A few years later, he also wrote three widely circulated scenery records, the introduction of the Western Regions is one of them.
As if to confirm Qi Surong’s guess, Feng Zhan sent someone to send her a letter with only a simple number of crosses: the antidote is here, if you want to get it, you can follow it.
Qi Surong angrily crumpled the letter and threw it away. In her mind, she thought of the three choices Feng Zhan made to her in Madam Zhang’s manor. One of them is “marry Gu Jinyun, and then secretly communicate with me, when I want, you can’t refuse.”
Qi Surong took a deep breath. She would rather die with Jin Yun than bow to Feng Zhan. If she really did anything to go wrong with him, it would not only be an insult to Jin Yun, but also an insult to the Gu Qi family. .
Feng Zhan has already married Liu Qian’er, why are they still entangled? Even at the risk of poisoning Jin Yun.
Qi Surong walked back and forth in the room, restless. She didn’t notice that Jin Yun just walked into the room, picked up the paper ball she threw out, unfolded it, looked gloomy, and then quietly put the paper in her sleeve.
“Jin Yun, what’s the good news?” Qi Surong greeted her.
Without saying a word, Gu Jinyun picked her up by the waist and strode into the inner room.
“Jin Yun, you…” Qi Surong was crushed on the bed before she could react.
After some turbulent lingering, Qi Surong lay down in Gu Jinyun’s arms with a sour body, and she didn’t even have the strength to speak.
Gu Jinyun’s fingers slowly crossed her skin and whispered, “Don’t go to see Feng Zhan.”
“You know?” Qi Surong responded lazily.
“Um.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t go to see him.” Qi Surong lay on top of Gu Jinyun, “You believe me.”
“I believe in you, I believe you can pay any price to save me.”
Qi Surong raised her head: “Do you think that in order to save you, I can have fun with other men regardless of my reputation, reputation and face?”
Gu Jinyun looked at her deeply and said, “If he gets your hands on you, I will kill him.”
“You don’t have to do it, I will kill him myself.” Qi Surong’s face was serious.
Gu Jinyun took her hand, put it on his mouth and kissed: “These hands are not suitable for killing people.”
“You’re not suitable either.” Qi Surong held his face and whispered, “You are only suitable for being Qi Surong’s husband.”
Gu Jinyun turned over, entered her, and possessed her.
In the intense love-love, Qi Surong vaguely thought that even if they could not find a pharmacist in the Western Regions and could not get the antidote from Feng Zhan, they still had a glimmer of hope, that is to find her master.
If there are only two people in the world who can cure this strange poison, her master is definitely one of them.
