Chapter 308: A feeling of unreality

Wu Shi San is a prescription specifically used to treat typhoid fever. Its heat-drying effect is very effective for typhoid fever.

But some people would feel temporarily confused after taking it. Later, someone with ill intentions slightly modified the dosage of Wu Shi San, and Wu Shi San suddenly became a good prescription that can strengthen people's body.

All medicines are poisonous. Excessive use of any medicine will accumulate toxins in the body.

Yuan Buwei once heard from her master that when the late emperor was alive, Wu Shi San was all the rage throughout Da Zhao. Not only did it become a necessity for every gathering of large families and literati, but the merchants who sold Wu Shi San also made a fortune every year.

But gradually, people who took Wu Shi San excessively began to develop symptoms such as disability and sudden death.

For a time, people panic.

But no one expected that Wu Shi San would become addictive if taken for a long time.

If I don’t eat it for a day, I will feel itchy.

But as more and more people died suddenly, the imperial court finally realized that Wu Shi San was a deadly poison.

He then ordered local governments to destroy all the Wu Shi San.

The late emperor hated this kind of thing very much and issued an imperial decree that anyone found secretly using Wu Shi San would be severely punished.

Since the current emperor ascended the throne, he has also been very strict in this regard.

Now, Yuan Buwei could see at a glance that the four elders had taken Wu Shi San, and a lot of toxins had accumulated in their bodies.

That means they are committing crimes against the wind.

"Nonsense, how could we possibly take Wu Shi San?!" The fourth elder denied it.

"Elder Xie, you can question me, but you cannot question my medical skills. I am a disciple of Medicine King Valley, practicing both medicine and poison. If I can't even identify this little bit of poison, wouldn't that be destroying the reputation of Medicine King Valley?" Yuan Buwei smiled brightly at Fourth Elder Xie. "Besides, the air above your Xie family is filled with the smell of Five Stones Powder. Anyone who has taken it can smell it in a second. There is no need for me to slander you."

"No wonder you, the Xie family, are always so secretive. You rarely go out, and you rarely let others visit you. So you..."

Yuan Buwei's words gave Wan Ning Hou a handle on Xie: "Okay, you bunch of hypocritical old guys, I'm going to the Dali Temple now..."

"Marquis Wanning, let's talk nicely."

No matter how arrogant the Xie family was, they dared not let the world know that they were taking Wu Shi San.

This was something that was banned throughout Dazhao, but the Xie family took it openly behind closed doors. If this got out, it would give other families a chance to attack the Xie family.

"Humph, Great Elder, this girl is talking nonsense. She said we took Wu Shi San, so we really took it?" The Fourth Elder said with disdain, "Do you have any evidence?"

This fourth elder is really stupid.

Yuan Buwei sighed and looked at the Fourth Elder: "Long-term excessive consumption of Wushi Powder will cause skin ulcers and extremely gray complexion. It is winter now, and you four elders are only wearing loose robes. Taking Wushi Powder will make people feel hot, and wearing too thick clothes will definitely make you uncomfortable. Fourth Elder, am I right?"

"I……"

Now, the Fourth Elder was speechless and just stared with his eyes, showing his dissatisfaction.

"Great Elder Xie, the Wanning Marquisate has absolutely no intention of becoming an enemy of the Xie family. My father-in-law just said that he wants to discuss the marriage between Han'er and Young Master Xie with you. If you are undecided, you can tell the head of the Xie family. Of course, I also hope that the head of the Xie family can be present when we really want to discuss their marriage."

Xie Yunting's whereabouts have been kept secret.

Yuan Buwei's words were equivalent to putting Xie on the fire.

If the four elders disagree, then there is no doubt that the news of the Five Stones Powder will spread throughout the capital in less than half a day.

The aristocratic family is indeed powerful, but Marquis Wanning is no pushover. Several generations of Marquis Wanning have experienced bloody storms.

Most importantly, the emperor has always wanted to control Xie. If he knew about this, he would definitely add fuel to the fire.

So……

In order to protect themselves, the Xie family will definitely let Xie Yunting show up.

Yuan Buwei looked at the four elders, her face turned pale instantly, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

I want to send a message to Princess Jinghe.

Let her get ready, it's time for revenge.

"Xie Linan, you must come with us."

Lu Sui, who had been silent, spoke up. He cast a cold gaze on the four elders: "Whether he will become my brother-in-law or not, at least for now, his safety is under my control. Do the four elders have any objections?"

Lu Sui was a real general, commanding the Jifeng Battalion. Not only was he famous for his achievements, he also had a high prestige among the people.

He opened his mouth.

How could the four elders dare to refuse?

I can only put on a smiling face.

Until he sat in the carriage of the Marquis Wanning's Mansion.

Xie Linan was still in a daze.

"Xie Linan?"

After seeing Xie Lin'an coming out, Lu Han kept a gloomy face and said nothing, thinking that he was angry about what he did: "I'm sorry, it happened suddenly, I can't watch you being killed by the Fourth Elder... If you don't want to go with us, then I will let my father put you in my family's farm. It's very quiet there, and there are not many people. It's very suitable for you to recuperate."

"I am not angry."

Xie Linan raised his head and met Lu Han's apologetic gaze: "I just have a feeling that it's not real."

"Tsk, when I was little I thought you were so powerful, but after all this time, you're just bluffing?" Lu Sui, who was sitting opposite, rolled his eyes and kicked Xie Linan, "Use the same method you used to kill me when I was little, and stop crying all day."

Xie Linan's eyebrows twitched, he should not be dazzled.

I actually saw Lu Sui raising his foot.

But when I heard him talk about his childhood, guilt overwhelmed me.

"When I was a kid, I..."

"Have you been threatened?"

Lu Han looked at Xie Linan and felt that he was not the type of person who would do such a thing: "You are now being tightly controlled by those old guys. You lost your parents when you were a child, so you definitely have no ability to resist."

"Lu Han, you haven't even married him yet, and you're already speaking for him?" Lu Sui snorted, "If we hadn't arrived in time today, you and he would have died together."

"Brother, I didn't. I was just stating the facts, not trying to excuse him." Seeing that Xie Lin'an didn't speak, Lu Han pushed him and said, "Speak for yourself. Are you mute?"

"I……"

Xie Linan, who was always sharp-tongued, felt as if his lips were stuck and he couldn't open them.

"Well, Master Xie is still injured. Even if we want him to explain clearly, we have to wait until he recovers."

In the end, it was Yuan Buwei who smoothed things over: "Han'er, when we get back, let Young Master Xie live in your yard, okay?"

"what?"

Lu Han was startled and was about to say that it was inappropriate, but when she thought of what happened to Xie Linan just now, she nodded immediately: "Okay, no problem, I will take care of him."
