Chapter 264: Killing and Destroying the Heart
The wound on Jiang Yu's arm split open, and blood flowed down his arm and dripped onto the ground, one drop, two drops, three drops.
"Brother Yu, has your wound opened again?" Sun Ling'er was the first to see it, and she exclaimed in surprise, covering her mouth.
Jiang Yu raised his hand, his slender fingers were covered with bloodstains.
"Amu, go and take care of it for him." Doctor Sun directly gave the job to his apprentice.
He now needs to focus on checking the suspicious items in the room and inspect them one by one.
Su Mu nodded and stood up, asking Jiang Yu to go to the next room to re-bandage the broken wound.
Jiang Yunhe had someone come in and replace all the furniture and items in the old master's room with new ones, even the quilts, teacups, and carpets.
Doctor Sun took the silver needle and tested everywhere he went, but he didn't find anything wrong.
As for the bracelet, after soaking it in water and testing it again, the silver needle turned black after half an hour, proving that it was indeed a chronic poison.
Normally, when testing for poison, the silver needle will turn black immediately, but this poison only turned black after half an hour, achieving a confusing effect and making it easy to conceal the truth. The person who poisoned the poison was indeed scheming.
…
On Jiang Yu's side, Su Mu helped him apply medicine and re-bandage his wounds. The wounds on his chest and arms had already split open and were in a terrible state.
Su Mu looked at the new and old wounds on his body, and suddenly began to worry whether it was a good thing for his sister to have feelings for him.
Should he persuade her to think carefully about whether she has a future with Jiang Yu?
These days are filled with chaos, fighting and killing, and there is not a single day of peace.
"If you keep getting hurt like this, there won't be a single piece of healthy skin left on your body. And besides, you won't be able to rest even after being injured. I don't know if this will shorten your lifespan!"
Jiang Yu was puzzled by Su Mu's sudden sarcastic remarks.
But when he looked down at the wounds on his body, it seemed that he was not wrong.
"I'll pay attention next time."
"I think I should persuade Wanwan to think carefully about whether someone of your status is really a good match for her. Sometimes having too noble a status may not be a good thing." Su Mu complained expressionlessly while packing his medicine box.
What seemed like a very ordinary sentence to him made Jiang Yu's heart skip a beat and he panicked.
"Don't worry, second brother. Even if I die, I will never let her get hurt or suffer any injustice." Jiang Yu quickly expressed his opinion.
He thought, "You'd better not try to persuade her. She always listens to her brother. What if you really persuade her to rebel? Wouldn't that mean he won't have a wife in the future?"
"Yes, if you die, my sister will be the one left as a widow. If you leave behind a child, she will have to raise him or her alone. I don't know who will be wronged."
Su Mu's tongue is so sharp that it can kill people.
"I..." Jiang Yu couldn't refute.
"I will try my best to protect her while keeping myself alive." Jiang Yu organized his words in his mind for a long time and finally uttered this sentence.
Su Mu couldn't help laughing, but the effect he showed was a sneer, and he was full of arrogance.
"Hmph, I hope so. A matter of the heart really can't be changed by a few words from others. To be completely honest, as her brother, I just hope she can live a peaceful and happy life."
Su Mu thought that he had never done anything for Su Wan, and he even rarely provided her with basic companionship, but that didn't mean he didn't care about her.
In the original novel, the Su family actually tried to open Su Wan's heart at the beginning and wanted to get along well with her, but all they got was her sharp ridicule and yelling. She blamed them for hindering her happy life and pretended to say that it was for her own good.
Over time, as disappointments accumulate, you become numb to them.
And what she did was the price she had to pay, because she was involved in a life.
"I know, I will!" In Jiang Yu's heart, Su Wan is really important, which can be seen from many details.
…
In the Zhaixing Pavilion, Su Wan was wandering around bored. She went to Jiang Yu's bedroom, study, and the ground where he practiced martial arts, as if she wanted to see Jiang Yu's former appearance through these places.
She didn't dare to wander around Fengyue Villa, so she could only stroll around here.
She looked at the row of weapons placed at the door of the martial arts training platform, all of which were halberds and spears, but she couldn't lift any of them because they were too heavy.
Liuyun and Liuying were watching from the side and were both touched by their own girl.
Jiang Yu was so bored. There was nothing special in Zhaixing Pavilion. She could only find a place to sit down and think about the old master's poisoning. She wanted to recall the original plot and try to find some clues.
She carefully reviewed the old master's condition. Her second brother said that he suspected it was chronic poisoning, but he could not find the cause of the poisoning and could not determine what the poison was.
Jiang Yu said that it was true. The old sect master had been in poor health for a few years, and before that, he had always been in good health and had no illness. The old sect master was a martial artist with superb martial arts skills. Logically, a little illness or disaster would not destroy him like this.
It must be poisoning without a doubt. There is no other reason except this.
Today I met the frail old sect leader. Sister Ling'er said that he had just reached the age of sixty, but he looked like he was in his eighties and was very haggard.
When the disease breaks out, the patient becomes unconscious and needs medication and acupuncture to fall asleep. Why does this scene sound so familiar?
Su Wan continued to think that the current plot, from Gu Yue's perspective, is still in the early stage, but in the later stage, it involves power struggles and imperial power. The reason why Murong Sheng became the prince was because he saved the emperor.
Murong Sheng had been the crown prince for only three years before the emperor passed away, and he naturally became the emperor. However, before that, although he had military achievements and his talents were gradually revealed, it only made the emperor pay more attention to him, and he had no intention of passing on the throne.
The turning point of everything was that the emperor increasingly valued the fifth prince, which aroused the queen's jealousy. Her legitimate son, the third prince, became increasingly dim because of the fifth prince's outstanding performance, and he often made mistakes and was scolded by the emperor.
The mother and son were worried that the emperor would choose the fifth prince as the crown prince, so they joined forces with their mother's family to find a rare poison and gave it to the emperor.
The emperor was in good health at the beginning, but suddenly he began to suffer from many illnesses and his health deteriorated. In just two years, he was bedridden and could not even attend the morning court.
At this time, Jiang Yu, entrusted by the male and female protagonists, invited Doctor Sun to personally treat the emperor. He was also helpless like he is now, and could only rely on acupuncture and drugs to keep the emperor alive.
Finally, it was the second brother Su Mu who discovered the clue and found the problem from the jade ring that the emperor wore on his hand every day.
So after several sleepless days and nights, the protagonists finally found the key to the problem. It turned out that the poison was colorless and odorless, and was smeared on the ring. If the poisoned person was exposed to it for more than two hours a day, he would be poisoned. At that time, he only needed to use a primer to stimulate the toxicity.
Generally, princes, nobles, and dignitaries all liked to burn incense in their homes. Some incense could linger on the body for a long time after being burned for a long time, while others could have a calming effect and help with sleep. However, the emperor did not like the ambergris provided for him, but only preferred cold sandalwood...
"I understand!" Su Wan suddenly stood up excitedly and shouted these words to Liuyun and Liuying.
