Pei Weixuan's appearance was quite scary.
Wen's face turned pale with worry.
Xu Qinyu was also worried.
The lines became deeper and deeper, as if twisting in the blood vessels. The entire black lines were twisting. Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from his forehead, and his face turned frighteningly pale.
You can tell how painful it is just by looking at it. It's probably similar to the pain of having bones cut out.
Pei Weixuan, however, did not utter a single sound.
Wen's eyes were red, and she tried to call out twice, "Xuan Ge'er?"
He seemed to be unable to hear the sounds around him and kept his head down and eyes closed.
This situation lasted for about two quarters of an hour. Pei Weixuan slowly raised his head and opened his eyes. The coldness of the past was gone in his eyes, as if there were no human emotions in them. Even in the eyes of the little white snake and the little black panther, Xu Qinyu could still see their innocence. There were emotions in the eyes of bigger beasts, but there was none in these eyes. It reminded her of when she was in the inn of Manager Zhou in Raozhou City and she went to check if he was breathing, he suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed her wrist. He had that look in his eyes at the time. She thought she had seen wrong, but it turned out not to be the case.
Mrs. Wen also noticed that there was no emotion in her son's eyes, and she was so scared that her hands were shaking.
Pei Weixuan glanced at them expressionlessly, but did not make any other move. He slowly closed his eyes.
Another quarter of an hour later, the black in his blood vessels finally dissipated and turned blue again. He slowly woke up and his eyes became clear again. Seeing that Wen and Yu Niang's faces were a little pale, he said, "Did I scare you?"
"Xuan brother, are you okay?" Wen's voice was a little choked.
She had already lost one son and didn't want to lose another.
"Don't worry, mother. Everything is fine now."
His voice sounded a little hoarse.
Xu Qinyu patted her chest and said, "Fourth brother, your blood vessels just now turned black. My mother and I were a little scared. I'm glad you're okay. Has the poison been eliminated?"
Pei Weixuan paused and said, "It will take three more times, with a seven-day cycle. It will take a heavy snowy time, and the remaining toxins in the body will be completely removed within a month."
After hearing this, Xu Qinyu felt that this treatment for poison was too scary.
Modern medicine is still good. Both Chinese and Western medicine are very powerful.
However, even with modern medical treatment, some poisonings, such as some pesticides, cannot be reversed.
So you must cherish your life!
She only has one life, no matter what situation she is in, she will never give up her life.
Pei Weixuan finished speaking and looked at Xu Qinyu.
Xu Qinyu blinked.
Pei Weixuan said helplessly: "Yu Niang, I'm coming out."
Xu Qinyu suddenly realized that he was wearing only a pair of wet pants. She touched her nose and said, "Fourth brother, I'll go out first."
Wen also followed him out. Pei Weixuan stood up. He had a narrow waist and long legs. Although he was thin, his skin was full of strength. He casually grabbed a towel beside him and wiped off the medicine on his body. He then took the medicine out of the bathtub and poured it out. He then boiled a pot of water to wash off the smell of medicine on his body before going to bed.
…
Xu Qinyu did not sleep well at night. She had never kept a small snake as a pet. After raising this one for a few days, she thought the little snake was quite cute. She had a dream that night. She dreamed that the little white snake had grown up. It was indeed three or four meters long, which was very scary to look at. Its scales were all jade-colored, and its tongue was pink. Although its snake eyes were dark red, its facial features were delicate. She fed it so much that it became very fat, with a body as fat as an adult. This big fat snake insisted on acting coquettishly with her when it slept at night, wanted to sleep in the same bed with her, and even pressed on her, almost crushing her to death.
Xu Qinyu was still a little dazed when she woke up in the morning.
Maybe I slept too soundly last night with my hands on my chest, which caused chest tightness and heaviness, and led to that nightmare.
Xu Qinyu put on her clothes, got out of bed, and went to the kitchen.
She had just entered the kitchen and lit the stove when Pei Weixuan also came in. Seeing that there was no water in the water tank and there was some scale inside, he moved the water tank outside and cleaned it, then moved it back to the kitchen and filled it with water before coming to the stove to help watch the fire.
Xu Qinyu was a little curious about how Fourth Brother knew medicine. Seeing how painful it was for him to remove the remaining poison, it must have been even worse when he was poisoned before.
She was so curious that she naturally asked, "Fourth brother, how do you know medicine?"
Pei Weixuan glanced at her and did not hide the truth. He slowly said, "When I was a child, I knew an old eunuch in the cold palace. He taught me."
Not only medical skills, but also martial arts were taught by the old lady. However, at the end, the old lady said that she had taught him everything she knew, and for the things she didn't know, she gave him many rare copies of medical and martial arts books, and he began to learn on his own.
He met the old eunuch in a cold palace.
He was only two years old at that time and had not yet been poisoned by Concubine Fu Gui. He had never liked to be close to others since he was a child. He always liked to avoid the palace maids who took care of him and wander around the palace by himself, looking for a quiet place to stay.
The quietest place in the palace is the cold palaces everywhere, and the quietest and most secluded cold palace is probably the north part of the palace. The cold palace is even called the north part. It is a dilapidated courtyard. He walked over, hid in the courtyard and climbed up the wall to bask in the sun. An old concubine lived in the cold palace. Her hair was a little gray, and she was served by an old eunuch.
He did not disturb the old eunuch and the old concubine. Occasionally, when they saw them, they were in the courtyard basking in the sun while he continued to lie on the wall.
Later, his father discovered that he was very intelligent and could learn things quickly, so he started to learn at the age of two and was taught by the Grand Tutor.
He was only two years old and had no idea what this meant.
It means that some people are afraid that he is so smart and may become the crown prince when he grows up, so they naturally want to get rid of him as soon as possible.
So someone attacked him, and at first they wanted to kill him directly. They strangled him by the neck when he fell asleep in the middle of the night. There was a dagger under his pillow. Such a small child struggled to pull out the dagger and slashed the man. The man's strength in his hand loosened due to the injury, and he was able to speak and save his life.
The person who wanted to strangle him was a young eunuch in his palace. Later it was discovered that he had jumped into a well. Even though his father was furious and investigated all night long, he found nothing.
But after this incident, my father added guards to his palace, and even though he didn't find anything, he continued the investigation without stopping.
The people behind the scenes were probably afraid that if they continued to take action, the emperor would find out, so they stopped making any moves.
After this incident, he became even more silent, but perhaps because he was frightened by the incident, his health began to deteriorate. He became sick and looked listless, and he would always secretly go to the cold palace to stay.
Another two years passed, and one day the old lady jailer couldn't bear it anymore and called him over, saying that he was poisoned and if he was left alone, he would be half crippled if not dead.
Later, the old lady supervisor began to teach him medical skills and help him to detoxify his body. She also said that his poison was very troublesome. This kind of poison had to be administered continuously for a year and was difficult to obtain. After the poisoning was completed, even if the person did not die, his body would collapse. She also said that the poison was very difficult to detoxify and it would take many years to do it slowly.
He also asked him to hide his shortcomings, saying that in this palace, even if he was a prince, he had to live with his head down.
The old eunuch began to teach him medicine and martial arts, and helped him to eliminate the poison in his body.
He gradually listened to the old eunuch's words and concealed his incompetence in front of others.
He learned very slowly, and his knowledge became mediocre. His father must have been disappointed. In addition, there was poison in his body, and his health was getting worse and worse. He became thin and pale. His health was too poor. His father did not expect him to have great talents, and probably just wanted him to be healthy. He did so, and later he even stopped going to Yu's study.
Perhaps the people who harmed him behind the scenes saw that he was sick and would not live long, and his knowledge was mediocre, so they thought he was no longer a threat and stopped paying attention to him.
Later, the old eunuch taught him everything she knew, and found rare copies for the ones she didn't know so that he could learn them on his own.
He still went to the cold palace every day.
At this point, his story was almost clear, but seeing Yu Niang looking at him eagerly, with an unsatisfied look on her face, he hesitated for a moment and then told her the story of the old eunuch and the imperial concubine.
He had been with the old eunuch for a long time and knew that the old eunuch was a martial artist. The Taipin had an ordinary family background and her father was a sixth-rank official. When the Taipin was a girl, she went to the temple to burn incense and was affected by refugees. The horse ran out of control and the carriage almost fell into the ditch nearby. She was rescued by a passing knight. The two got to know each other and fell in love, but it was also out of love and within the bounds of propriety. The knight went to the girl's family to propose marriage, but the girl's father disliked the fact that he had no fixed place to live and his family was a martial artist, so he refused.
Later, when the late emperor, that is, his grandfather, was choosing a concubine, the girl's father sent her into the palace. The girl was favored by the grandfather and stayed in the palace to become a concubine. When the knight learned about it, he cut off his body and entered the palace to accompany the girl silently. Later, the girl made a mistake and was sent to the cold palace, and he was the only one who accompanied her silently.
Later, when he was ten years old, the concubine passed away. Because she was the emperor's concubine, she was banished to the cold palace and naturally was not buried next to the imperial mausoleum.
A few days after the death of the concubine, the old eunuch also passed away. No one knew his name or where he was registered, so they just buried him in a mass grave outside the city.
The old eunuch told him this story when she was about to die. In the end, she begged him to pick up her own bones, burn them into ashes, and sprinkle them on the grave of the concubine.
He got his wish.
Xu Qinyu didn't expect to hear another love story. After listening to it, she felt sad and a little sighed. She felt sorry for the old concubine and the old eunuch. She thought that the old eunuch was affectionate. She thought that the two of them had at least been together for half of their lives, so they were not lonely. They would be buried together after death. She hoped that they could have a good ending in their next life.
After Xu Qinyu finished sighing, she saw the little white snake beside the stove and thought of her dream last night. She couldn't help but touch it. She saw the little black panther next to her and touched it for the sake of fairness. Then she spoke to Pei Weixuan, "Fourth brother, how about giving them two names?"
Although you only raise the little white snake for two or three months, you may develop feelings for it in these two or three months. You can't always call it "little snake", so it's more convenient to give it a name.
There is also a little black panther. We will rely on it to guard the house in the future, so it also needs a name.
Pei Weixuan glanced at Bai and Hei, "It's up to you, Yu Niang."
Xu Qinyu was frying eggs while thinking of names for the two children.
Finally, she thought the little snake looked like white jade, so she named it Baiyu. Hey, she thought the name was good and nice.
At least the little black panther, seeing how black he was, thought about it and decided to name him Ink.
Pei Weixuan also thought that these two names were good, but ink should be the ink ground from ink tablets.
So she calls ink "ink"?
After naming the two little ones, Xu Qinyu finished frying the eggs and started making pancakes.
In the morning, the two of them went to the stall together again. It was snowing heavily.
When they arrived at the dock, Xu Qinyu, who had been selling roujiamo for half a month, was worried that they were getting tired of it, so she asked them, "Brother Qiaozi and Brother Heidan, you've been eating roujiamo for half a month, are you tired of it?"
The two of them shook their heads naturally, "How can we be so tired of eating something so delicious?"
They were a poor family, so how could they have enough food? They used to live a hard life. In the winter, they only had taro and bean porridge, and the only vegetables they had were turnips and radishes, all boiled in water, and they ate them up in big mouthfuls because they were hungry.
Xu Qinyu thought about it and said, "I plan to serve a new dish tomorrow. It will still be made with pig intestines, but the taste will be different. I will make a little less tomorrow to test it."
She always wants to try something different. She has been eating fish for half a month, and recently she doesn't eat meat-stuffed steamed buns or fish for breakfast or dinner. She only eats other things.
Zhuozi and Heidan said, "We like whatever food the young lady cooks."
They really believe in the young lady's craftsmanship!
