Chapter 238 Yan Luo Xiao
But Lu Zhiran didn't think so.
If it was really because of these achievements, the other party's attitude should have changed as early as when she revealed her identity, and would not have waited until now.
The only possibility is that Albert saved Xing Chuxue's life, and Xiao Yanheng remembered her kindness, so he returned the favor and repaid her such a big favor.
Lu Zhiran was filled with emotion.
Xiao Yanheng's actions once again refreshed Lu Zhiran's understanding of him.
It's not just because of how much he values Xing Chuxue, but also because of the signal his move sends: he has no intention of competing for that position.
If he really had this idea, he would not have sold weapons like artillery to himself.
The other party took the initiative to make concessions, and Lu Zhiran did not refuse pretentiously. She immediately instructed Zhang De'an to follow up on the subsequent matters.
"You will personally supervise this matter. You must personally inspect the artillery pieces. There must not be any mistakes. Then, ship the artillery pieces to Xiping as soon as possible."
When it comes to business, you have to be careful with such a big deal and not trust others easily.
Zhang De'an immediately agreed and quickly took his leave.
Now that the artillery issue was settled, Lu Zhiran breathed a sigh of relief.
That night, Lu Zhiran felt relaxed and went to bed early.
But unexpectedly, she had another nightmare that night and woke up in the middle of the night with her back wet again.
She dreamed of Xiao Yanci again.
This time, he was also covered in blood and lying in a pool of blood.
Shuanghua was on guard tonight. She heard the noise first and quickly poured herself a glass of water.
"Miss, is it a nightmare?"
Lu Zhiran drank the cup of tea in one gulp and took a few quick breaths.
"Shuanghua, has the Prince Jin's Mansion received a reply from His Highness?"
Shuanghua shook her head.
"I think His Highness will write to you soon."
Knowing that these words were meant to comfort her, Lu Zhiran had no choice but to believe them.
After calming herself down, she got up, changed her clothes, and then lay down again.
The second half of the night was sleepless again.
If you keep thinking about it, there will be a response.
The next morning, she actually received a letter from Xiping, from Xiao Yanci.
Lu Zhiran opened it immediately and read it quickly.
There was a gloomy expression on her face, making it impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.
There is still no news from Jiang Nansheng.
Fortunately, there were sufficient drug reserves and the epidemic in Xiping was temporarily under control, but the hidden dangers did not completely disappear.
Lu Zhiran was mentally prepared for this.
What really made her look gloomy was another incident that Xiao Yanci mentioned in the letter.
The defender of Xiping, General Zhenxi Gu Qishan, was poisoned and fell into a coma, his life was in danger.
Gu Qishan is a defending general who has been stationed in Xiping for more than twenty years. He has climbed up from an unknown person to his current position by relying on his iron-fisted methods and brilliant and unparalleled military achievements.
If something happened to him, it would undoubtedly make the war situation in Xiping even worse.
By then, Qiang Di would probably not miss the opportunity and launch a large-scale invasion of the border of Da Qi.
The purpose of Xiao Yanci's letter was, firstly, to inform her of the situation in Xiping, and secondly, for Gu Qishan.
There is no antidote in Xiping, but there is in the capital.
She must get the antidote immediately and send the most reliable person to Xiping as quickly as possible.
"Dress me up, I want to go to the palace."
Lu Zhiran is the county lady and the future Princess Jin, so she is qualified to enter the palace.
She went straight to Xiyan Palace.
She came to the palace this time to pay a visit to Concubine Rou.
Because the antidote is in Concubine Rou's hands.
Concubine Rou is preparing perfume.
She was bored every day and had no other entertainment except making perfume.
When Lu Zhiran came, she immediately smiled, "Zhiran is here, come quickly, I recently made a new fragrance, come and smell it."
Lu Zhiran bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have something important to discuss with you."
Seeing her serious expression, Concubine Rou also straightened her expression.
Knowing that she was not someone without sense of propriety, Concubine Rou immediately dismissed the servants in the palace, "What's the matter?"
Lu Zhiran handed over the letter respectfully and spoke.
"This is the letter sent back from Xiping by His Royal Highness Prince Jin. Please take a look."
Concubine Rou's hand holding the letter trembled, "He, why did he run to Xiping?"
After reading the letter, Concubine Rou's face suddenly turned pale. She couldn't hold the thin piece of letter firmly, and it floated to the ground.
"How could Gu Qishan be poisoned? He is the General of Zhenxi, who would dare to poison him?"
Concubine Rou always spoke softly and slowly, but at this moment she was so excited that her voice was hoarse.
Jinse hurried forward to support her, holding her hand, as if to remind her, "My Lady, please don't be anxious."
Concubine Rou seemed to have come back to her senses and managed to calm herself down.
"I am worried about changes in the situation in Xiping."
Lu Zhiran caught some unusual meaning in Concubine Rou's eyes, but she didn't have time to delve into it.
"My Lady, do you have an antidote pill called Yanluoxiao?"
Concubine Rou nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, Jinse, go get it quickly."
Lu Zhiran breathed a sigh of relief.
There are many poisonous insects in southern Xinjiang. I think this Yanluoxiao is the Ye family's exclusive detoxification pill.
But Lu Zhiran guessed wrong.
This Yan Luoxiao and the prescription she used to save Xiao Baozhu that day came from the same person.
Yama's smile can cure all poisons, and even Yama can't do anything about it, hence the name.
Yanluoxiao is extremely precious because its recipe has been lost and there are only three of them in the world.
Sealed with wax, it can remain intact for hundreds of years.
When that person gave it to her, he didn't feel any pain at all.
Back then, her father was bitten by a seven-step snake and was saved by taking Yanluo Xiao.
She went to Beijing to participate in the election. Before they parted, she gave him the Yanluo Smile without any doubt, and kept only one for herself.
She had always hoped that this medicine would never be used, but unexpectedly, the opposite happened.
Perhaps everything was already predetermined.
Not only did Yan Luoxiao find a place to use his skills, he also used it on the person who gave him the medicine.
This Yama Smile was given by Gu Qishan.
No one knew that a concubine living deep in the harem and a general stationed in Xiping had an unknown past when they were young.
If she had not shouldered the family's mission, their relationship would have ended differently.
Concubine Rou tried very hard to forget that man, but she accidentally heard his name from Emperor Defeng. Then she learned that he had joined the army, made many outstanding achievements, and became famous in one battle.
Concubine Rou cried that night, feeling happy for his success but also sad for the regrettable missed opportunity between them.
Knowing that he was living a good life, Concubine Rou completely let go of everything and devoted herself to accompanying her son and being a good mother.
Until today.
She didn't expect that her son would go to Xiping and have an intersection with Gu Qishan.
A Ci didn't know about Yan Luo Xiao's existence. There was only one possibility: Gu Qishan told A Ci.
Did he know Ah Ci's identity? Had he completely let it go?
My mind is in a mess and I can't calm down.
Jinse took out the porcelain bottle, and Concubine Rou took it, squeezed it tightly, and then handed it to Lu Zhiran.
"This medicine is precious. There is only one in the world. We must find the most reliable person to deliver it to Xiping. There must not be any mistakes!"
"I know, don't worry, ma'am."
Lu Zhiran handed the medicine bottle to Shuanghua. Shuanghua bowed and turned to leave, walking quickly, not daring to delay for a moment.
