Chapter 83 Persistent Footsteps
The emperor was furious when he heard the news, but he had no choice. At this time, the charlatan told the emperor that he needed to find a brightly colored venomous snake and take the guts of it, so that he could make pills.
But this kind of snake was particularly difficult to find. Seeing that the queen was dying, the emperor anxiously led his troops to the top of the mountain to search regardless of the danger, but found nothing. Later, when he was about to return without success, he saw Jiang Hu on a towering tree on the way down the mountain.
The poisonous snake that the doctor calls.
The emperor immediately ordered people to arrest him, but the poisonous snake was so cunning that he not only escaped the encirclement of the army, but also poisoned many people in his army.
He was very angry at the time and ordered all the soldiers to pursue it at all costs. However, the snake was so cunning and kept running through the forest at a very fast speed that the soldiers could not catch up with it.
Finally, the emperor ordered people to set fire to the mountain, and finally forced the poisonous snake to reveal its tail. The emperor ordered the soldiers to swarm up and chop off the head of the poisonous snake.
But when the soldiers were about to take out the gallbladder of the venomous snake, the snake's head actually moved and retorted with a bite. The soldier was killed on the spot. The emperor was so angry and annoyed that he asked someone to come forward to remove the gallbladder and chop the snake's head to pieces.
This incident caused an uproar at the time, and all the people condemned the emperor for being tyrannical and cruel, and for setting fire to the mountains for the sake of the queen, regardless of the lives of the people around him.
But the emperor didn't care at all. He was like a demon who only wanted to save the queen. He also imprisoned all the people who condemned him in the sky prison and asked them to test the medicine.
In the end, a magical scene really happened. The queen miraculously woke up after taking the pill after experiencing the poisonous snake's venom. But when she woke up, she said that she was not the queen, but that she had traveled from another world.
When the emperor heard this, he thought she was crazy, but she firmly believed that she was not the queen, but someone else. She hoped that the emperor would depose the queen and let her go.
When Mr. Sheng saw this story, he thought it was ridiculous. However, there is no follow-up to this story, because the ancient book is incomplete.
He always thought it was just a legend, but now, he discovered that this legend might actually exist.
At least the prescription is real, and people in this era can still make it. There is God's will in the dark, maybe the queen is not really the queen, but a soul that has traveled through time.
Mr. Sheng looked at the venomous snake in the painting and had a lot of thoughts. Although he didn't know what species this brightly colored venomous snake was, and the pills he made were only made from ordinary snake gallbladders, he believed that this medicine must have its own characteristics.
Unique effects.
Mr. Sheng, no longer thinking about it, put away the scroll and walked out of the study to the door of Zhiyao's room. He heard Hongxue's voice inside: "Master, are you looking at the bed again? You have already bought so much, why not?"
Do you need it?"
"Of course, Gong Jie just brought back ten secret guards from Yuchen Palace today. I always want others to have a good rest, right? Good sleep quality is very important!"
"Master, can I stand up to ten of them?" Hongxue complained dissatisfied.
"I know that Hongxue is the most powerful, but you alone can't protect everyone in our Hou Mansion!" Zhiyao said with a smile.
"But......"
"Stop it, I've already paid the money, and you continue to talk. There will be a limit on pills from now on!"
"Okay!" Hongxue said with a pout, and then there was no movement.
Suddenly Hongxue seemed to notice someone outside the door. She moved her nose and sniffed it out: "Old Marquis, why are you here? Do you have something to do with the master?"
"Haha~ Hongxue's sense of smell is indeed very sensitive!" Mr. Sheng said with a hearty smile, then opened the door and walked in.
"Grandpa Hongxue is a dog, so of course he has a keen sense of smell." Sheng Zhiyao mocked unceremoniously.
"Okay, okay, grandpa, I won't joke with you. I just heard from Hongxue that you were buying a bed. Where did you buy those beds before? It doesn't look like a carpenter's craftsmanship, but it looks like something made in a big factory.
.”
"Yes, grandpa, you are so smart, look at this." Sheng Zhiyao pointed to the laptop in front of her.
"Laptop?" Mr. Sheng stood up and walked over in surprise.
"Grandpa, take a look at this website. Does it look familiar?"
"This website?" Mr. Sheng came closer to the computer and looked at it carefully: "What is this? This computer can actually access the Internet?"
"Yes, I accidentally wanted to open it that day to see if it could run. I didn't expect that this computer could not only run but also place orders on the orange website. But other software couldn't be used. Only he could, and it could be delivered quickly.
It can also be delivered to your door.”
"Oh? How is this done?"
"I'm not very clear about this. The address I filled in when I bought something was still the original location of our home. A few days later, the package miraculously appeared in the yard, but Hongxue said that she had never seen anyone deliver it.
Come." Sheng Zhiyao frowned and said.
"This is indeed magical." Mr. Sheng thought for a moment and then said, "Then you will buy me something more?"
"Okay, but grandpa will lend me your bank card first. All my savings will be used up to buy a bed."
"My bank card? Can it still be used?" Mr. Sheng said in shock.
"It can be used. Anyway, I have used up all the money in the card. There is no point in keeping it since I can't go back." Sheng Zhiyao shrugged.
"That makes sense, but I don't know if grandpa's retirement salary has been credited to the card on time." Mr. Sheng sighed.
"Grandpa, don't think so much! Tell me what you want to buy, and I'll buy it for you."
"First change me a set of desks, chairs, bookshelves, decorations and other items. Also, after you buy these things, you have to send them to my room."
"Okay, grandpa, don't worry, leave this matter to me and I will definitely take care of it."
Mr. Sheng nodded and gave a few more instructions before leaving.
Sheng Zhiyao started to get busy. She first operated on the website, and then placed the order and paid in one go. After all, it was not her own money, so she didn't feel bad at all.
It was getting late outside. Sheng Zhiyao asked Hongxue to send her grandfather and Uncle Li out and then lay on the bed. The small villa was extremely quiet. She could only hear her breathing and the wind blowing in from outside the window.
The sounds inside the house.
Not long after, there seemed to be slight footsteps again outside the window.
Sheng Zhiyao turned over and sat up, staring outside.
"Who?" she shouted coldly, her phoenix eyes flashing with cold light, and her whole body exuded fierce murderous intent.
But there was no sound from outside. Sheng Zhiyao frowned. Could it be that she was too sensitive?
After thinking for a while, Sheng Zhiyao turned over and lay back down, closing her eyes.
After a while, the footsteps gradually faded away, and Sheng Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief, but still watched the movements outside vigilantly.
After a while, footsteps sounded again. Sheng Zhiyao immediately opened her eyes and looked out the window again. This time she still didn't see anyone.
She closed her eyes again and pretended to sleep.
After a while, she heard footsteps again, but she still closed her eyes and ignored it. She knew that the man was here again, and she would definitely feel it this time. After repeating this three times, Sheng Zhiyao finally became impatient.
, she suddenly opened her eyes, and a pair of phoenix eyes shot out two cold lights. She stared coldly out of the window, her eyes filled with murderous intent. As long as the other party dared to step into this room, she would definitely let him die!
At this moment, Hongxue ran in from outside the house. It came to the bed and rolled its eyes as it looked at Sheng Zhiyao sitting on the bed.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Hongxue asked cautiously.
"Why is there no sound? Where did the footsteps just go? Did I hear it wrong?" Sheng Zhiyao asked doubtfully.
"Master, what sound did you hear again?"
"I don't know, I just feel that the footsteps seem to be outside and inside the courtyard." Sheng Zhiyao shook his head and said: "Forget it, it might really be an illusion. Go to sleep!"
Hongxue also lay down, her eyes staring outside without blinking.
