Chapter 642 It Must Be Him
Daxi Sipo was mixing medicine. When she saw Xingxing coming, she didn't even raise her eyelids and ordered, "That's great. Go to the counter and get me three coins of Datura powder. You know where it is."
Xingxing said "oh" and went to get it as she was told.
Daxi Sipo added three grams of Datura powder into the medicine bowl and stirred it for a long time until all the herbs in the bowl were completely mixed together. Then he looked around with satisfaction and put it into a winnowing basket.
Xingxing took the basket and helped put it on a rack in the yard to dry.
After doing all this, Xingxing helped Daxi Sipo to massage her sore back.
Daxi Sipo closed her eyes with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"Grandma Daxi, I encountered something strange today." Xingxing told Grandma Daxi what happened today.
Da Xi Si Po frowned slightly and placed her fingers on Xing Xing's pulse, but really didn't see anything unusual.
Xing Xing explained, “I felt something was not right at the time, so I quickly took the pill you taught me to calm my mind.”
Da Xi Si Po nodded and glanced at Xing Xing: "You are very alert."
"I brought the bow with me," Xing Xing said, "Grandma Da Xi, please sit here and wait for me."
Xingxing took the bow out of the carriage without asking anyone else for help, using a handkerchief as a cushion.
Da Xi Si Po asked Xing Xing to put the bow on the stone platform in the yard. She walked around the exquisite little bow and sniffed it closely.
Xingxing watched nervously from the side.
It was rare for Daxisi Po to look so serious.
She went back to the house, rummaged around for a number of things, mixed them together, and made a bowl of colorless potion.
Da Xisipo dipped a soft cloth in the medicine, gently wiped the bow, and then placed the soft cloth in the medicine.
Xingxing poked her little head out and looked at the bowl of medicine soaked in the soft cloth.
Under Xingxing's gaze, the potion slowly, slowly changed color.
In the end, it turned into a bowl of potion that glowed slightly blue.
Da Xisipo always liked to look at people with a sour face, but this time, she looked at the bowl of potion with a blue glow and sneered.
"This capital city is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers." Da Xi Si Po sneered with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Xing Xing looked at Da Xi Si Po in confusion.
She could sense that there was something wrong with the bow, but she couldn't tell what was wrong with it. Therefore, she didn't quite understand what Da Xisi was mocking.
"This is a banned medicine of the royal family of the previous dynasty, called Spring Breeze Jade Dew." Da Xi Si Po pointed at the bowl of potion glowing blue, her voice a little cold - of course, this coldness was not directed at Xing Xing.
"The royal family of the previous dynasty has been extinct for more than a hundred years. I can't believe that someone can still get it." Da Xi Si Po found it more and more ridiculous.
Xing Xing was a little surprised: "The royal family of the previous dynasty?"
Da Xi Si Po's tone was cold and mocking, "That's right. The royal family of the previous dynasty has been buried for so long, but the forbidden drug is still passed down. This thing is what the concubines of the previous dynasty used to compete for favor. You only need to rub a little bit on the body. As long as a man and a woman come into contact, this drug will stimulate the emotions in their hearts and make the other party's emotions surge... Anyway, poisons that can manipulate people's emotions are all dirty things! The extremely favored Concubine Feng in the previous dynasty's harem used this thing to make the emperor obsessed with her. His temperament changed drastically and he abandoned the empress who was deeply in love with her, causing the empress and her unborn son to die tragically in the harem."
Having said this, Da Xi Si Po was silent for a while, as if she was thinking of an extremely unhappy past event. She frowned and did not speak for a long time.
Xing Xing murmured, "This concubine actually used the title of 'Phoenix'. The previous emperor must have lost his mind."
Da Xi Si Po sneered: "That's right, isn't it? You are right."
She took the bowl of blue-glowing potion and taught Xingxing how to identify the spring breeze and jade dew.
"...This Spring Breeze Jade Dew is not difficult to cure, but the difficult part is how to tell in a short time whether this person has been poisoned." Da Xi Si Po frowned and said in disgust, "The most vicious thing about it is that the poison enters the human brain imperceptibly, so the difference in pulse is minimal, but the poisoned person will be affected by the poison and amplify their emotions towards the person in front of them. The more they love someone, the more they love him, and the more they hate someone... If you want to maintain the long-term effect, you must often give the other person this Spring Breeze Jade Dew. You and that kid were both poisoned by the bow, but fortunately you were alert and cured it in time, so it won't cause too much harm to your body."
Xingxing nodded thoughtfully.
No wonder she always felt goose bumps at that time. Was it because of the toxin that magnified her perception of this area?
"Grandma Da Xi, what would happen if the emperor of the previous dynasty had long-term exposure to women?" Xing Xing asked curiously.
Da Xi Si Po looked into the distance and said quietly, "...After the death of the empress of the previous dynasty, the emperor met a miracle doctor by chance. The doctor saw that the emperor had some characteristics of long-term poisoning, such as yellowing of the eyes and increasingly irritable mood. The doctor happened to have read about Spring Breeze Jade Dew in a hidden pharmacopoeia and knew that the emperor was poisoned by Spring Breeze Jade Dew, so he helped the emperor to detoxify. But at that time, Concubine Feng was already the Imperial Concubine Feng, and she was far away from the back seat of the empress. It was just one step away. When the emperor woke up, he found that he had killed the empress and his son. In great grief, he took a knife and hacked the imperial concubine to death. At that time, the imperial concubine was pregnant with the child of the previous emperor, so there were two lives in one body. Less than a year later, the previous emperor also died of illness... In short, this spring breeze and jade dew has been listed as a banned drug since then, and even the prescription has been completely destroyed. I don’t know why someone would use it against you! "
The more Da Xi Si Po thought about it, the angrier she became.
Someone actually dared to poison Xingxing!
And they use such filthy stuff!
"Was it that kid named Nie who did it?" Da Xi Si Po asked angrily.
Xing Xing shook her head: "I don't think so. This bow was meant for the Crown Princess. And he was poisoned, so it couldn't be him."
Daxi Sipo frowned: "If it's not him, then it must be someone close to him. You said that he made this bow, and even if he made it, there are only a few people who can touch this bow."
Xing Xing nodded: "I think so too."
But Xing Xing was also a little puzzled: "What's the use of this poison on this bow?"
Da Xi Si Po glanced at Xing Xing's delicate face and snorted, "Isn't this simple? I think the other party put the poison on the bow just to help you and that guy surnamed Nie get together! Bah, the more I think about it, the more I think it was that guy surnamed Nie who put it. This guy is really evil! He put the poison on himself, so you won't doubt him. If something really happens, you can blame it on the poison on the bow."
Da Xi Si Po became more and more annoyed as she spoke, "It must be him!"
Xingxing opened her mouth, not knowing how to retort.
