Chapter 180: Eternal Fall into the Ghostly Night
"Shut your mouth!" Wen Xun slapped Hua Dexing in the face.
Outside, "Did you hear that?"
"What's that noise? There seems to be some movement in there. I guess he's going crazy again."
"Let's take a look?"
At this time, the people outside felt something was wrong, so they quietly opened a crack and observed the situation inside.
I saw Hua Dexing going crazy, "Let me go."
"let me out!"
"When can we leave?"
"I'm hungry, give me something to eat."
"Ahhhhhhh, this is annoying."
The two people outside the door breathed a sigh of relief, "Calm down, Doctor Hua." and closed the door again.
"I told you, he makes a fuss every day, and he will be quiet if you ignore him." As he said this, he took out another wine gourd from his waist and poured it into his throat.
The liquor slid down his throat, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Tsk—, so tasty!"
"What's the origin of our master's family?"
In the room, Wen Xun, who was about to jump down from the beam, stopped when he heard the words and went to the door to eavesdrop carefully.
"Not only do we have good food and drink to eat, but we only need to guard this one person, and we don't have to kill or rob. I can do this job for the rest of my life."
"I heard that the master was originally from the capital, but he made a mistake and was punished to be exiled to the southwest. He just returned to the capital recently..."
"Then why are they making things difficult for a mere imperial physician? They're not even saying they're going to kill him or chop him up, but just imprisoning him. That's weird."
"You don't understand. Who knows, this little doctor might have done something dirty and the noble lady discovered it. Now, he's being punished."
They were chatting animatedly when the eldest brother staggered over. "Hey, you two, hiccup, how's it going? Is that guy in there still making a fuss?"
They both stood up straight and walked over to him, "Boss, don't worry! The guy inside is very well behaved. We are both completely obedient and won't dare to act rashly!"
"Well, don't kill him either. Master, hiccup, I've already said that in a few days, I want him to be finished, hiccup, intact, and appear in front of everyone safely."
"I understand, I understand. Don't worry about us. We'll provide you with delicious food and drinks."
"That's right, I've never fed my own son myself."
The eldest brother patted his shoulder and burped, "You kid, burp, be nice to your wife and children. Don't go to the brothels every day, burp, and drink wine."
Wen Xun subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, as if the boss's burp was spraying on his face.
The man nodded in agreement, and helped the eldest brother back to the room to rest, leaving the other younger brother to guard the place alone.
He looked at his brothers who were all drunk, and looked at the wine gourd in his hand. He felt very greedy, so he sat down and started drinking too.
Hua Dexing's mouth was covered by the secret guard for a long time, and was finally released.
He took a deep breath of fresh air, "You, ha, you, I almost couldn't breathe!"
"How could they have any good food or drink for me? It all went into their stomachs!"
"You didn't even give me a change of clothes."
Although he lowered his voice, one could still feel his immense anger!
When Wen Xun heard the words, "You haven't even changed your clothes," he took a few dozen steps back and then nodded in understanding.
He had heard of this Imperial Physician Hua for a long time. Rumor had it that he had an eccentric temper and was cold and ruthless, but his medical skills were extremely superb, especially for some strange and bizarre diseases.
It is obvious how boring and disgusting the captivity life of more than a month is, which has turned the originally gloomy young man into a chatterbox now.
He didn't dare to think too much, and quickly asked the secret guard to exchange clothes with Hua Dexing.
Hua Dexing looked at the man in front of him who had taken off his veil and looked 70% similar to him, and touched his chin with interest.
"Hey, Wen Xun, whose craftsmanship is this? It's pretty good, but it lacks some perfection. With time, it will be one-tenth of my skills." As he spoke, he also started to adjust the secret guard.
Wen Xun didn't want to pay attention to him in his heart, but he just went along with it on the surface. After all, if the female coroner from the Dali Temple could receive Hua Dexing's guidance, she would probably learn a lot!
"Hey, brother, I heard they will release me soon. Please bear with me for a few more days. Come to me if you need anything later." Hua Dexing put his arm around the secret guard's shoulder and talked a lot. He also briefly told him what he knew about these people to prevent him from being discovered too early.
Although every word came from the heart, this nagging man was too chatty. The secret guard looked at Wen Xun for help. Wen Xun understood and gave him a look that said "thank you for your hard work". He then grabbed Hua Dexing by the scruff of the neck and turned around to leave the Hua Mansion.
Although Hua Dexing holds a high position in medicine, he is weak and it is the first time that he has been helped by someone using Qinggong.
This wonderful first experience made him excited for a long time.
In the carriage, Mingyue was waiting early, and Jiang Hetang was also knocking on the window sill.
"Why don't you come out?"
"What happened?"
Mingyue paced back and forth anxiously in the carriage, occasionally sticking her head out.
Jiang Hetang: "Probably not. Wen Xun is quite capable. I guess something delayed him."
Mingyue took a deep breath. It should be fine. After all, there were countless secret guards waiting here. If it weren't for the purpose of not alerting the enemy, she would have just wiped them all out.
Sure enough, the next moment, Wen Xun's figure and the dirty man behind him appeared.
Wen Xun didn't say much. He threw the man into the carriage and snatched the horse of the guard in front.
Mingyue and Jiang Hetang looked at Hua Dexing who fell on the edge of the carriage, their mouths twitched, and then they covered their mouths and noses.
Mingyue stayed away and let him wrap himself in a thin blanket and sit by the door. "Aren't you good at poison? How did you get caught?"
Hua Dexing was extremely embarrassed. "I, I, there's nothing I can do."
That day, he was enjoying delicious food in a small roadside restaurant when he was knocked unconscious from behind and taken home.
When I woke up, my hands and feet were tied up. I didn't know what day it was. My clothes had been changed. There was no poison or medicine.
After arriving at the palace, the carriage headed straight to Yongshou Palace.
There was no time for him to wash up, as Hua Dexing had to take the empress dowager's pulse.
Everyone held their breath, not only because of the tense moment, but also because... Hua Dexing smelled really bad.
Hua Dexing took the patient's pulse over and over again, first frowning, then sneering, and finally frowning even tighter.
The hearts of Jiang Hetang and others also fluctuated with his expression.
Finally, Hua Dexing put down his hand and looked at Jiang Hetang, "The Queen Mother has indeed been poisoned, and it is the Nanman's 'Eternal Ghost Night'."
"This poison, just like its name suggests, once poisoned, one can only live in a dream and can never wake up again."
"Moreover, the dreams of the poisoned are usually not pleasant ones. They will completely destroy the person's will."
"The moment the will is completely worn out, the poisoned person dies in reality."
Jiang Hetang was overwhelmed with grief and joy. He was heartbroken to know that the Queen Mother had been poisoned, but since Hua Dexing knew the poison, he knew there must be an antidote. This rekindled his hope, "Is there a way to cure this poison?"
