There are seven kinds in total, five of which are common medicinal materials, but when Strychnos nux vomica and Corydalis yanhusuo are mixed together, they become poison.
If these two ingredients are added to musk, the food made from it can cause a person to suffocate to death in his sleep.
Gu Lingze took the medicinal herbs back to the general's mansion. As soon as Zhao Chengmo saw him, he noticed that he was in a bad mood.
"What happened?"
Gu Lingze had a sneer on his face, "It seems that Feng Mei failed to kill me once, and is about to kill me a second time."
Then he told her what happened in the pharmacy, and Zhao Chengmo stood up immediately after listening.
"What are you doing?" Gu Lingze looked up at him.
"Go catch Feng Mei."
Gu Lingze didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why are you arresting her now? Can you keep her locked up for life? And she hasn't made a move yet."
"She hurt you last time too." As soon as Zhao Chengmo recalled what Feng Mei said that she had personally confirmed that Gu Lingze was dead, murderous aura kept emanating from his body.
"Based on what happened back then, we can only deal with Feng Mei. Do we still want to leave behind this troublesome Gu Yangjia?"
Gu Lingze didn't hate Gu Yangjia just because he had taken his place for so many years. If Gu Yangjia was a kind person, he wouldn't even mind if he continued to live with him in the general's mansion.
But Gu Yangjia was greedy, hypocritical, had a bad temper, and had no gratitude at all, not to mention that he almost killed Gu Feirui.
There was no way Gu Lingze would allow such a person to stay.
"Now that we know her plan, we can catch her and Gu Yangjia in the act. After all, Feng Mei can't enter the general's mansion to poison people, so Gu Yangjia has to do it."
Zhao Chengmo thought about it and decided to respect Gu Lingze's idea, but in the future he would pay extra attention to the people around him and would not put them in danger.
"If Feng Mei moves..."
"What are you talking about? Where is Feng Mei?"
Xie Qingwan originally wanted to find Gu Lingze to discuss going to the riverside to release lanterns and pray for blessings in the evening. Seeing that the door was not closed, she walked in directly. Unexpectedly, she overheard the discussion between the two.
Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo were not on guard in the mansion, so they did not pay attention to the footsteps around them. For a moment, they did not know whether they should tell Xie Qingwan about this.
"Lingze, have you met Feng Mei? Is she in Beijing?" Xie Qingwan could be said to hate Feng Mei very much and wanted to catch her immediately.
Looking at the situation, Gu Lingze realized that he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to, so he had to tell the story.
After hearing everything, Xie Qingwan was so angry that she was shaking all over and tears kept falling down her face. Gu Lingze was afraid that she would be sad after knowing it, so he kept it a secret from his family. He didn't expect that Xie Qingwan would find out now.
"Mom, don't cry. I've recovered a long time ago. If you don't believe me, look." After saying that, he turned his head and let her see the back of his head that had been injured before.
But Xie Qingwan became even more agitated, and Gu Lingze was suddenly at a loss and could only pat her back gently.
After a long while, Xie Qingwan finally came to her senses. She held Gu Lingze's hand tightly and said, "You've suffered so much, why didn't you tell your mother?"
Gu Lingze smiled a little embarrassedly, "I was stupid before and didn't even remember who hit me. I found out a few days ago, but I was afraid that you would feel bad."
Xie Qingwan touched the hair on his forehead and looked at him with heartache.
"Mom, from now on you stay by my side and I won't get hurt again."
Xie Qingwan took his hand and nodded, "Dad, mom and two brothers will definitely protect you well in the future."
On the one hand, Xie Qingwan hated Feng Mei very much, and on the other hand, she felt terrible about Gu Yangjia.
Although Gu Yangjia was not her biological child, she had done her best to raise him since he was a child. She never expected that the child she raised by her side would be so cruelly planning to kill someone, and the person he wanted to kill was Gu Lingze. It really made her feel cold all over.
"Leave it to mother. Let me arrange it." Since this mother and son are so cruel, she will never let them go.
When Gu Lingze heard Xie Qingwan say this, he thought it was just a way for her to vent her anger, so he readily agreed and told her where Feng Mei lived.
Xie Qingwan was preoccupied with something on her mind and had forgotten about lighting lanterns in the evening, so everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Gu Lingze entered the space at night and put the materials into the medicine basket for nurturing. He still needed to study the recipe of Taiyi Liujin Powder carefully, after all, he had seen it in an ancient book a long time ago.
After writing and drawing for a whole night, the final prescription was finally determined. Gu Lingze stretched happily and turned to leave the secret realm.
In the morning, the family sat around a table for dinner, and Qian Bo ran in hurriedly, "Master, Madam, the commander of the Jinwu Guard is here."
Gu Tianhua stood up and said, "Why is he here at this hour? Hurry and invite him in."
Qian Bo turned and went out. After a while, a dozen soldiers in armor came in.
"Jinwu Guard Commander, Dai Zhengqi, pays respect to General Gu."
"Yeah." Gu Tianhua responded lightly and looked at Xie Qingwan.
"There's no need to serve here. You can go down first." Xie Qingwan ordered the servants to leave.
"Commander Dai, what is the important matter that brings you to my house today?"
Dai Zhengqi smiled and said, "General, these people following me were brought here by me personally, so you don't have to be on guard."
Gu Tianhua was obviously much more relaxed after hearing this. Xie Qingwan asked, "Zhengqi, did you come to eat this morning? Do you want to sit down and eat together?"
"Thank you ma'am, but I have urgent matters to attend to right now and can't think about these."
"What happened?"
"The second prince of Qianhan Kingdom was attacked last night. The emperor has ordered that General Huaiyuan be fully responsible for the investigation at this time." Dai Zhengqi frowned and conveyed the emperor's secret order, and he also felt that it was very inappropriate.
The Jinwu Guards are responsible for the security of the imperial city. When something like this happens, the Jinwu Guards should also be responsible for investigating. Why should Gu Xiuyi be put in charge?
Dai Zhengqi knew that this was a hot potato. He didn't think that the emperor didn't trust the Jinwu Guards, but that someone was deliberately trying to trip up Gu Xiuyi.
The Gu family naturally thought of this. Gu Lingze stood up and said, "General Gu, I will go with you." Now other people don’t know Gu Lingze’s background yet, so Gu Lingze still addresses him like this to outsiders.
"Who is this..." Dai Zhengqi looked at the young man in front of him and asked curiously.
"This is Dr. Gu." Since Gu Xiuyi was going to take Gu Lingze with him, he naturally had to elevate his status.
"My illness was cured by Dr. Gu. To express our gratitude, my parents invited him to our house as a guest."
After hearing what Gu Xiuyi said, Dai Zhengqi looked at Gu Lingze with a little more seriousness. He didn't expect that Gu Xiuyi's illness, which left the entire Imperial Hospital helpless, could be cured by a young man.
