Chapter 068: Unforgivable
Meng Xiyan followed his father to war at the age of fourteen, and stayed there for nearly ten years.
He had experienced countless life-threatening battles and crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
He had long since developed a murderous aura, and ordinary women would tremble in fear if he looked at them with that kind of eyes.
Wen Yan just smiled at them and said, “Sister Chi Fei, Brother Xi Yan, do you know that there is an extremely insidious poison outside the Great Wall?
This poison is divided into two layers.
One layer is on the surface and the other layer is inside.
The poison on the surface is extremely toxic and can kill a person within three to five days.
But if the doctor is skilled, the problem can be cured immediately.
Moreover, the herbs needed for the antidote are not particularly precious.
But once this antidote enters the stomach, it will activate the toxicity in the inner layer.
But this new toxicity will not occur immediately.
It will lurk in the body of the poisoned person, silently destroying the patient's internal organs and will not be easily detected.
It will take three or four years for it to become toxic.
By this time, it was too late.
Even if you get the antidote.
After detoxification, it only stops the body from deteriorating, but it cannot restore it to its original state."
The more the brother and sister listened, the more their brows furrowed.
The two of them said almost in unison: "Are you saying that my father was poisoned by this kind of poison?"
"My father has already been detoxified once. Doesn't that mean the poison inside has been activated and started to eat away at my father's internal organs?"
Meng Chifei was extremely anxious.
Reaching out to pull Wen Yan: "Yan Yan, is your information accurate? What should I do with my father? Where can I find the antidote? Is there still hope for him?"
Meng Xiyan quickly calmed down.
He asked Wen Yan, "How did you come to this conclusion?"
Wen Yan glanced at him, then looked at Meng Chifei: "If it were you, wanting to kill a thorn in your side, would you give him this easily detoxifiable poison?"
Meng Xiyan said: "We also felt strange at the time, and we doubted it and discussed it.
I feel like there's something weird about this matter.
However, the imperial physician who was sent there said with certainty that the poison had been removed.
Their military doctors and doctors invited from outside all had the same results."
Meng Chifei followed Wen Yan's line of thought and analyzed: "If I want to kill the Eagle general, I must have a poison that kills instantly upon seeing blood.
Without a leader, they would fall into chaos.
This medicine that can control the life and death of others must be trying to get something from my father... It's the Northern Army!"
Meng Chifei suddenly had an idea: "Could it be that they want to use this as a threat to force my father to betray the country and flee to join them?
Aren’t they thinking too simply?”
Meng Chifei was puzzled.
Meng Xiyan asked again: "What does this have to do with the Lan family?"
Wen Yan continued, "The old lady of the Lan family will be a hundred years old next year.
I heard that His Majesty will give a pill that can cure all poisons to the old lady of the Lan family as a birthday gift."
"Is the antidote you're talking about the Hexiang Pill? It's said to be a recipe developed by the Imperial Hospital over a period of more than fifty years, and it can cure a hundred poisons.
I only got five in total.
A few years ago, the Queen Mother ate one and had four left."
Meng Chifei said, "But, to obtain the Hexiang Pills, we don't necessarily have to defeat the Lan family. We can ask His Majesty for the medicine, or we can go to the Imperial Hospital to copy the prescription. Can't we make the medicine ourselves?"
Meng Xiyan said, "There are many rare medicinal herbs in Hexiang Pills. I know one of them grows in the snowy areas of Tianshan Mountain. A plant grows for more than ten years, blooms and bears fruit only once in its lifetime, and dies when the fruit is ripe."
Herbal farmers need to pick the entire plant between the time the fruit ripens and withers, and then prepare it using special techniques to achieve the desired effect.
Meng Chifei was dumbfounded.
Meng Xiyan is right.
In Wen Yan's previous life, he used all his connections and financial resources to look for medicine, but he still couldn't get it together.
Therefore, the safest way is to get the pill.
Wen Yan tried her best to explain.
But there are still many loopholes in her words.
Meng Xiyan looked at Wen Yan deeply, but didn't ask any more questions.
It was Aunt Man Yue who hurriedly pushed the door open and came in after they stopped discussing.
She asked anxiously, "Is what you said true? Did the master really fall victim to such a sinister poison?"
Meng Chifei comforted her: "Auntie Manyue, don't worry, this is just our guess, it's not certain yet."
Aunt Man Yue was very excited: "As long as I can save the master, I am willing to do anything."
After nightfall.
Suddenly it started to rain lightly.
Climbed the mountain for a day.
Wen Yan went to bed early.
She was about to fall asleep on the high bed with soft pillows when she suddenly heard the door open.
Then she felt someone moving her quilt.
Someone got into her bed.
A hand was placed on her shoulder, and a low, hoarse voice teased her, "Little beauty, guess who I am!"
Wen Yan didn't even raise her eyes: "The incense you wear is made by me, Meng Chifei."
"Hmph, do you have a dog's nose?" Meng Chifei snorted.
Wen Yan lifted the quilt: "Come in and lie down quickly. It's raining tonight, be careful not to catch a cold."
Meng Chifei got into bed, hugged Wen Yan, rubbed her affectionately, and then lay down obediently.
The two of them listened quietly to the sound of rain hitting the green tiles.
Wen Yan heard Meng Chifei's breathing becoming more and more even, and thought she was about to fall asleep.
Unexpectedly, Meng Chifei suddenly said, "You only told me half of the reason for dealing with the Lan family today."
Wen Yan's closed eyes suddenly opened.
Meng Chifei turned around, looked at Wen Yan and said, "Aren't you going to tell me? Aren't we sworn sisters? Besides, this is the Meng family's business, it shouldn't be borne by you alone."
Wen Yan sat up.
Send away the maid who is on night watch.
Until Meng Chifei confirmed that they had returned to the room.
Wen Yancai said to Meng Chifei: "Do you believe in past lives and present lives?"
When Meng Chifei heard Yan's first words, his eyes widened: "What do you mean by that?"
Wen Yan asked again: "Do you believe in precognitive dreams?"
This time, Meng Chifei nodded without hesitation: "I believe it."
She had this experience when she was young.
A picture suddenly appeared in my mind.
This scene will definitely happen in a few days.
However, as you get older.
Such predictable scenes are becoming less and less.
Wen Yan lowered his eyelids, thought about it, and then said to Meng Chifei: "The matter about your father being poisoned is not my guess, but it happened in my past life... in a dream that I foresaw. It really happened."
“The poison will remain dormant in General Meng’s body for four years.
Four years later, the toxicity took effect and it was too late to recover.
Not to mention carrying a sword to the battlefield, even walking and eating became difficult.
General Meng was tortured beyond recognition and returned to Beijing to recuperate. After enduring a year of hardship, he passed away.
Under candlelight.
Meng Chifei's face turned pale.
"How...how could this happen..."
The scenes that Meng Chifei predicted have never changed.
In other words, my father... he has been poisoned and can only live for four or five years at most.
And they will be tortured to death.
Meng Chifei was shaking all over.
Wen Yan held her flying hand tightly and continued, "The reason why I targeted the Lan family is not only because of the Hexiang Pills, but also because they did something unforgivable to Brother Xi Yan."
