"Yes, Dr. Zhuang, what on earth is that medicine?" Lian Ruoshui's face also turned red, with a look of surprise and excitement on his face.
"That's it." Dr. Zhuang said, opening the medicine box and taking out a fist-sized porcelain bottle. The top and bottom of the porcelain bottle were the same size, with a lid on top that looked like it could be screwed up.
"This is..." Lian Ruoshui asked doubtfully.
"This is the voodoo cup from southern Xinjiang." After Dr. Zhuang finished speaking, he unscrewed the lid with his dry hands and placed the voodoo cup on the table.
Lian Ruoshui leaned forward and looked, only to see that the Gu cup was half full of water, but he could see nothing but water.
"This is." Lian Ruoshui looked at Dr. Zhuang in confusion.
"This is called Blood Control Gu. It is fed with human blood. It is usually transparent and cannot be seen in the water." Dr. Zhuang said, taking out a thin wooden stick and stirring it in the water. Once, then gently lift it.
Luo Zhiyi, who was standing in the corner, saw that there was something like a thin thread wrapped around the wooden stick, but maybe because it was out of the water, the thing like the thread twisted uneasily.
Such a weird thing made all the women in the pavilion scream in fright.
"Princess, there is no need to be frightened. This thing is lazy and not aggressive." Dr. Zhuang said as he put the blood-controlling Gu back into the voodoo cup and closed the lid with a smile.
"Then how to feed it with human blood?" Lian Ruoshui then put away his frightened expression and asked.
"One bowl of blood every seven days." Dr. Zhuang said with a chuckle: "But if you want to use it as medicine, the medicine will induce more blood."
"How to find the medicine guide?" Lian Ruoshui was more concerned about this.
"Yao Yin is a rare thing." When Dr. Zhuang said this, a pair of slender eyes scanned the maid in the pavilion, and then continued: "This blood control Gu is more sensitive to Yao Yin's blood. As long as it is When it wants the kind of blood, it will get excited, suck blood crazily, and then turn into a light red color. After a month, the Blood Controlling Gu will grow up and turn into a red color, then it can be used as medicine, and as a People who take medicine are very likely to bleed to death." Dr. Zhuang's voice was cold, making people feel like they were trembling.
After Dr. Zhuang finished speaking, all the maids in the pavilion felt chills running down their spines. This was basically exchanging one life for another! Although everyone hoped that the princess would recover, if she had to exchange another person's life for it...
"Isn't that the blood drawn by medicine? Can't ordinary people's blood be used?" Lian Ruo's excitement and surprise disappeared and he became pale.
Dr. Zhuang shook his head. This is why it is difficult to find the medicine. Even if he found it, who would be willing to sacrifice his life.
"Then Dr. Zhuang, please take this thing away, I can't use it." Not to mention whether she could find the medicine lead, even if she found it, how could she use someone else's life to save her own.
"Keep this thing." Suddenly, a clear and pleasant voice sounded outside the pavilion.
Everyone turned around and saw that at some point, the Ninth Prince Bai Ye was already standing at the bottom of the steps, followed by an indifferent Zhou Yan.
Today, Bai Ye is wearing white clothes, with a gentle smile on his handsome face under the scorching sun, like a cool wind blowing into the pavilion.
"The prince is back." Lian Ruoshui stood up happily and greeted Bai Ye. Everyone else in the pavilion knelt down to greet him.
Bai Ye hugged Lian Ruoshui's waist, stepped up the steps, and entered the pavilion. He looked down at Dr. Zhuang who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at the voodoo cup on the table. His voice was a little colder: "Keep this thing, the medicine guide." If so, I will solve it, and you will stay in the palace. When the princess is ready, you will leave. If this thing doesn't work, then never leave."
As soon as Bai Ye finished speaking, the thin body of Dr. Zhuang who was kneeling on the ground shook, and then he fell on the ground: "The common people must do their best to cure the princess."
Bai Ye hummed softly and waved his hand. Zhou Yan had already signaled the maid next to him to lead Dr. Zhuang down.
Bai Ye hugged Lian Ruoshui and sat on the imperial concubine's couch. He looked at the tea set on the table and said with a smile: "You will enjoy it, making tea in this pavilion." After saying that, he leaned over and looked at the tea in the cup. He praised: "Who makes such good tea?"
Everyone was startled, Lian Ruoshui showed a gentle smile, pointed at Luo Zhiyi in the corner, and said: "Yes, sister Zhiyi."
Bai Ye then looked at the masked woman standing in the corner with almost no presence.
Ever since Lian Ruoshui entered the palace, she had been showing off her face to others. Looking at her bright but deep eyes, Bai Ye's heart trembled slightly, he turned around and stopped looking at her, and said lightly: "It's too hot here. , Go to Shenshui Pavilion." As he spoke, his thin lips brushed across Lian Ruoshui's cheek, and the intimacy between the two made all the maids in the pavilion lower their heads.
"Your Majesty..." Lian Ruoshui's shy voice sounded, and he looked around with his big, soft eyes, his cheeks flushed.
…
The night was dark, and there was no moon or stars in the bluish sky. The heat of the day finally dissipated at night, and the shadows of the trees in the courtyard were mottled under the illumination of the lanterns.
Bai Ye looked at Lian Ruoshui who was sleeping, carefully put on his clothes, got up, and walked out of the bedroom. Zhou Yan stood outside the door and bowed to salute when he saw Bai Ye coming out.
Bai Ye didn't say a word and walked quickly towards the study.
Yuehua stood at the door of the study and saw Bai Ye approaching in white clothes, and bowed respectfully.
"Everyone is here."
"Your Highness, everyone is back." Yuehua said with a smile, and then opened the door to the study.
In the study, several figures stood quietly behind the desk. When they heard the sound of the door opening, they all stepped aside.
After Bai Ye sat behind the desk, the few who were standing silently knelt down on one knee respectfully: "See you, Your Majesty."
"Everyone, get up." Bai Ye smiled and motioned for everyone to get up.
The people in front of the desk are all Bai Ye's right-hand men, including men and women, old and young, but all of them are very skilled and have followed him through bloody storms, and they are Bai Ye's most trustworthy partners.
"Siyue, did you bring it back?" Bai Ye's voice became hoarse, but these simple words contained deep guilt and self-blame.
"I brought it back, but it was beyond recognition and miserable." The next man, a tall man in black, about thirty years old, knelt on one knee: "It's because my subordinates didn't do things well, otherwise, Luo Xiang's family would not have died. Please, Your Highness …”
"No, this time, it's all my fault." Bai Ye interrupted Si Yue's apology, sighed softly, leaned on the back of the chair behind him, rested his forehead on his hands, and looked a little tired.
Now that Luo Heng is dead, the truth about that letter has been buried in the dust forever with his death. He will never know whether he was right or wrong.
The room fell silent for a while. After a while, Bai Ye put down his hand, looked at Si Yue in front of him, and said, "Let's give her a grand burial."
