Chapter 392 The Pure Dividing Line
The two of them walked over quickly and looked again.
There was indeed someone on the couch.
It was wrapped in gauze like a cocoon and tied tightly to the four corners of the soft couch.
Isn’t this the regent whose life or death was in danger all night?
He Jinghui stretched out his hand to feel his breath, and as he breathed a sigh of relief, he smiled and said, "He's still alive!"
His breathing was steady and his complexion was normal, so it looked like he was just asleep.
Mu Nanzhao was not woken up, his eyes were still closed, and he looked extremely tired.
He Jinglan found that Gu Xixi was missing and became anxious, "Xixi! Xixi, where are you?"
She ran to the outer room, looked around anxiously, and was about to go to the door.
Suddenly I saw an arm slowly rising from below.
"Here it is."
Hearing Gu Xixi's voice, He Jinglan was surprised and delighted. She stepped over a copper basin and walked around the fallen chair.
Now I saw Gu Xixi just under the windowsill next to the door.
She sat on the ground leaning against the wall, looking tired and forcing a smile.
“Here I come.”
He Jinglan squatted down in front of Gu Xixi, frowned and touched her face, "How come you seem to have lost weight in just one night?"
Gu Xixi had a look of despair in her eyes and sneered twice.
"After a fight, I chased him all over the house. I tried my best to persuade him not to lose his mind. I finally managed to pin him down. He was exhausted just by tying him up. Did you know that he was still very strong even though he was demented?"
He Jinglan was dumbfounded.
He Jinghui ran over excitedly, "Boss Gu, was it you who made Qi Xiu behave like that?"
He Jinglan rolled her eyes at him and said, "There's no one else here, who else could it be except Xixi?"
He Jinghui explained with a smile, "I mean, how did Boss Gu do it."
"Also, what kind of poison did Qi Xiu take? Why was he tied up like that?"
Gu Xixi ignored He Jinghui and grabbed He Jinglan.
It was like a man who had worked in a coal mine for three years saw his relatives in his hometown and began to complain in tears:
"He is lying there peacefully, but my work has just begun. I have to give him antidote, acupuncture to remove the toxins, and use clean water to wipe away the sweat forced out of his body!"
"Because! That sweat reeks of drugs! Who knows what kind of aphrodisiac he took! That concentration is enough to be used on a cow or a pig! If it's not cleaned up in time, he will continue to go crazy and torment!"
"By the time I finish dealing with him, it will be dawn when I turn around."
"He actually started sleeping soundly at some point, so I could only find a place to rest for a while, and then you guys came."
Aphrodisiac?!
He Jinglan was horrified and spoke incoherently, "Xixi! You, him!"
"Does he... have you?"
He Jinghui had a strange look in his eyes. He turned to look at Mu Nanzhao, then quickly turned around to look at Gu Xixi.
No way, no way, no way, the thousand-year-old iron tree really bloomed last night?
Gu Xixi shook her head weakly, "Don't worry, he's fine, I didn't do anything to him."
As the soul of a modern woman, she doesn’t mind doing happy and beautiful things with the people she loves when the time comes.
But she didn't want to do it while the other party was confused.
First of all, it seems like taking advantage of someone's misfortune.
Secondly, it also makes you feel wronged.
At this moment, He Jinglan was anxious and finished her words, "Who cares about him? I want to ask him if he did anything to you after he turned into a beast!"
He Jinghui reminded, "Boss Gu has already said that he didn't do anything to him."
He raised his chin towards Ruan Tan, "Looking at his expression, it's not clear. He wanted to do something to Boss Gu, but failed."
He Jinglan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Gu Xixi nod.
She leaned over and hugged Gu Xixi, feeling guilty, distressed, and regretful.
"Stinky man, bad man, who would have thought he ate that kind of dirty stuff! If I had known, I wouldn't have let you take care of him."
"Fortunately you are okay, otherwise... I really don't dare to think about it!"
He Jinghui looked at Mu Nanzhao who was still sleeping, and his expression became serious.
"He has always been more alert than others. Even with all the noise we made, he still hasn't woken up. This shows how powerful the drug is."
"There is not even a woman in the palace. He locked himself in the study last night and endured it."
"If Boss Gu hadn't come, I'm afraid the palace would have really held a funeral this morning."
At the end of his speech, He Jinghui looked grim and gritted his teeth.
Who on earth is so courageous?
What tricks did he use to trick Mu Nanzhao?
This matter must be investigated immediately.
He Jinghui turned to Gu Xixi, "Is he okay?"
Gu Xixi nodded, "The detoxification was done in time, and it didn't cause much harm to the body."
"It's just that he has some internal heat. When he wakes up, he can just take some Yin-nourishing and Qi-replenishing food for a few days."
He Jinghui bowed and said solemnly, "Thank you, Boss Gu, for saving my life."
"I will remember this favor. No matter what Boss Gu wants in the future, I will do my best to repay him."
He looked at his sister again and said, "I'll ask the people from the palace to come in and serve you. You two can go back now."
"Boss Gu worked hard last night. You must take good care of her."
Seeing He Jinglan nodded in agreement, He Jinghui planned to send the two girls back to Xiao He's house first, and then secretly investigate the drugging incident.
When he went out, he turned his head and took a last look at the "cocoon" on the soft couch.
An eclipse of the sun or snow in June could not compare to the scene before our eyes.
It’s a pity that we can’t find an artist to record it on the spot.
Otherwise, you can keep it as a commemoration and pass it down to future generations.
In the morning, He Jinglan came with his brother, so he entered the palace openly through the front door.
The same goes for the return trip. With He Jinghui accompanying me, I don’t have to worry about being seen.
In Yuzhu Courtyard, the maids quickly prepared a bathtub, hot water, food, etc.
He Jinglan also stayed up all night, waiting for Gu Xixi to take a shower and change clothes. Then the two of them ate and drank their fill and fell asleep.
Mu Nanzhao woke up at night.
The interior of the small study has been restored to its original state.
He sat behind his desk, listening to the part of the process that He Jinghui knew, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
He Jinghui said, "You attended a banquet at the South Pavilion last night. I checked everything you ate and drank, and there was nothing of that nature."
"Can you remember where the drug was placed?"
"Washing basin." Mu Nanzhao gritted his teeth, "I left the table to change clothes, then washed my hands in a basin of clean water, and also washed my face twice."
"That's the only possibility."
It was difficult to refuse the banquet at Nanting last night for various reasons.
Mu Nanzhao originally planned to have a couple of drinks, go through the motions, and then leave.
After he washed his hands, he felt a slight burning on the palms of his hands, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
He returned to the table, said hello and left.
He walked in the corridor of the South Pavilion and gradually began to feel hot and anxious.
At this time, a woman walked out of the darkness and appeared in front of him as if she had calculated it in advance.
The woman was wearing a thin veil covering her face.
Mu Nanzhao, who had already realized something was wrong, immediately pushed her away and quickly left Nanting.
Order the coachman to return to the palace as soon as possible.
What happened afterwards is what everyone knows.
He Jinghui frowned and thought, "I can't see her face...what about the woman's skin color, figure, and other features?"
