Chapter 161 I can’t bear to watch
Xie Zhaozhao had never seen what the elixir looked like in his past or present life.
According to the information Xiaoxin heard, Panacea comes in raw and cooked varieties. Both the raw and cooked varieties are pastes. The raw ones are black and smell terrible, while the cooked ones are amber in color and have a strong fruity aroma.
Just take one bean-sized piece at a time.
It is insoluble in water and needs to be kneaded into a ball before eating.
Or grind it into powder and mix it with juice to drink.
Burn the elixir with a flame and inhale the fragrance into your stomach?
Anyway, it’s not a good thing and should never be touched.
The bird was robbed, the eardrum was smashed, Guan Yingying and Gu Chengyan were preparing to set a trap for the prince, and this news must not be known to anyone.
Yuanyuan asked nervously, "What should we do then? Miss, is he from the Imperial City Division? Will he cause trouble for you?"
"It's okay. Even if the truth is revealed, we will just say that Gu Chengyan is keeping a mistress and deceiving the Crown Prince's wife, and we are helping her catch the adulterer."
Just talk about the miscellaneous matters at home.
"Yuanyuan, take Xiaoxin away immediately and give him to my brother. Investigate his past and see if he has a talent for spying."
Yuanyuan has been dealing with Xiaoxin in the past few months. Xiaoxin is very hardworking and smart. Yuanyuan doesn't want Xiaoxin to die.
At 5 p.m., Gu Shaoyu came back from court on time and saw Xie Zhaozhao standing in the corridor waiting for him. He held her hand and said, "Why are you standing here? Come in quickly, it's too cold."
Lifting aside the thick warm curtain, Xie Zhaozhao said with a smile: "Because I have something urgent to tell you."
"what's up?"
"Have you ever heard of the panacea?"
Gu Shaoyu sat down and looked at her intently.
He was handsome, but because he usually looked indifferent, his handsomeness added a touch of coldness and hardness that made people feel distant. Although he was still beautiful, he was also hard to get close to.
He held her hands with both and suddenly smiled.
He was born good-looking, but because he was in a high position, he was usually serious and proper.
Such a smile was truly like the morning sun and the breeze blowing across the water, creating moving ripples. For a moment, Xie Zhaozhao felt that there was only one word to describe his beauty: peerless.
Ask him a question, why is he so happy?
He came back from outside, and because he had been walking around, his hands were very hot, better than her hand warmer, so he wrapped her hands devoutly.
"I'm glad you thought of me to solve your problem." Gu Shaoyu said seriously, "Tell me, what's going on?"
Xie Zhaozhao was dazzled by his beauty and thought that this man was becoming more and more unruly. He would flirt with people every time he spoke!
"Yin Jinan and Li Yunmu said that someone brought a cart of 'omnipotent pills' into the city. A friend of his said that these things can make people addicted and are extremely harmful."
The reason why I use Yin Jinan's identity to talk about this is because Yin Jinan already knew about this kind of thing. The one who intercepted the goods in the wilderness was Ren Jialin. Ren Jialin is a gangster, so it is not surprising that he knows these sinister things.
"It is said that this thing is extremely poisonous and can control a person's will. If one does not take it, he will be pierced by thousands of arrows. He will do whatever he is told to do."
Xie Zhaozhao said, "It's very addictive. There is no antidote. It all depends on willpower to get through it, but it is said that no one can resist it. I'm afraid you will be controlled for life."
She was afraid that someone would use it to harm His Majesty, and she was also afraid that someone would use it to harm Gu Shaoyu.
"I heard it was hidden in a remote teahouse in East City. I don't know if it's in use or for whom. I was worried that someone would be fooled, so I wanted to tell you quickly."
"You did the right thing! If the common people take this, their families will be destroyed. If the people above take it and let others manipulate them, the Daqian Kingdom will no longer exist."
Gu Shaoyu said, "Don't worry, I won't eat anything outside. I will send someone to investigate first, and only when we catch the perpetrators red-handed can we convict them. I think the stuff you mentioned is very similar to the opium used in the prescription, which is a medicine for treating coughs, diarrhea, stroke and other diseases."
The Imperial Medical Bureau had opium, but the quantity was extremely limited. No one had tried to see if it was addictive or poisonous. It was first presented to the emperor by the royal family of the Haixi Kingdom.
Gu Shaoyu’s idea is to find this poison, strictly control it, and use it to save lives.
Gu Shaoyu called Bei Chen over and said, "Bei Chen, go to the newly opened teahouse in Dongcheng and look up the recipe for a paste called Wan Neng Dan and determine where it is hidden."
He asked Bei Chen to investigate first, find the goods, and convict with reason and evidence.
Xie Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief. After telling Gu Shaoyu about this, she felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
Gu Shaoyu smiled slightly, and an intoxicating charm bloomed between his lips.
He quickly placed a little on her lips.
"Zhao Zhao, will you trust me from now on?"
"it is good."
"Zhao Zhao, I miss you..."
Xie Zhaozhao's ears turned red, facing each other, thinking about her?
Push him away, in broad daylight, really.
"Madam, look~" Zhou Shaoyu saw that she was shy, and took out a letter from his arms very seriously, "There's a letter from Ling Xun."
Xie Zhaozhao shook his head and didn't answer.
"Court affairs are men's affairs." She did not interfere.
"If you don't want to read the letter, then let's go on the swing?"
"Bring the letter here..." Xie Zhaozhao knew that this letter might just be a private message.
Xie Zhaozhao was reading the letter, and Gu Shaoyu was looking at her, with a smile on his lips that he couldn't suppress.
Nanxing is in the light: one, two, three, turn around and run!
Bei Chen in the dark: One, two, three, close your eyes, and go! When a secret guard is doing something, it only takes feet and ears~
Xie Zhaozhao drew the letter paper, and Ling Xun's letter was good news.
"The two leaders of the bandits voluntarily went to die. Although they rebelled, they did not disturb the people. All the food was used to help the people. Many people cried out for justice for them. I think they are righteous men. I hope the Lord can plead for them in front of Your Majesty."
Seeing this, Xie Zhaozhao glanced at Gu Shaoyu, who nodded: "I have already pleaded with His Majesty to spare them from execution and sentence them to exile to a wild land for ten years."
Being spared the death penalty for the serious crime of treason is already a great blessing from heaven.
"Lord Cheng'en and his gang will definitely be unhappy," Xie Zhaozhao said, "The prince was expelled by the mob, and the prince's party will definitely not let these two go."
"Duke Cheng'en and his party all demanded that they be executed by slicing and that all nine clans be killed. Your Majesty only said, 'Can you find all nine clans? If we are to investigate, should I also investigate the Crown Prince for dereliction of duty?', and the matter of slicing was dropped."
Ling Xun's letter also said that post-disaster resettlement and reconstruction had already begun, and a chivalrous man named Ren Jialin continued to deliver food and salt to the people of Zhongzhou...
The situation in the entire Zhongzhou is stable and the people are at peace.
"Greetings to the lady!"
The entire letter was about the resettlement of the people in Zhongzhou and post-disaster reconstruction, and ended with a question about Xie Zhaozhao's well-being.
Xie Zhaozhao was very pleased. He returned the letter to Gu Shaoyu and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Lord Gu, for adding another capable minister."
Gu Shaoyu leaned closer to her and said, "Didn't Madam give it to me for free?"
"How do you like it?"
"I like it!" Gu Shaoyu said, "Do you want a reward?"
Xie Zhaozhao immediately stood up and left.
Gu Shaoyu laughed loudly in the back and said, "I heard that the Dali Temple has taken on several new cases."
Xie Zhaozhao immediately covered his ears with his hands.
On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month in the 30th year of Emperor Hui of Daqian, the Crown Princess was buried.
The prince looked a little gloomy, but it was hard to say whether he looked bad.
If you lose your son, you can have another one. If you lose your princess, you can marry another one. The prince is still the prince, and his position is unshakable.
The prince's luxurious carriage came out of the palace and passed under the overpass. A person got out of a small carriage on the side of the road. It was Guan Yingying.
