Chapter 122: Cold Heart Grass Honey
"Miss." Rouge opened the curtain and walked in, holding a tray with a porcelain bowl on it.
"What is this?" Gu Yuqi raised her spirits and asked.
"This is from Aunt Liu. She said that she specially cooked bird's nest for the lady." Rouge said.
Bird's nest? Gu Yuqi couldn't help but sneer again, "When did she become so generous? She even gave bird's nest? Two days ago. But she didn't even send any grass?"
"Who knows." Rouge said, "If the lady doesn't like it, the slave will fall."
"Go and throw it away." Gu Yuqi said coldly.
Rouge responded, turned around and was about to go out, but when she reached the door, she was stopped by Gu Yuqi, "Wait."
"What's your order, miss?" Rouge turned around and asked.
"Put down the bird's nest." Gu Yuqi said. "Go and invite the old gentleman."
"Yes." Rouge responded, put the tray back on the table and turned to leave.
It didn't take long for the old doctor to be invited over by Rouge, after seeing the ceremony. He first checked Liang Huaiyu as usual. Then said to Gu Yuqi. "Miss, Madam is business as usual. Although there is no improvement, all symptoms are very subdued."
"En." Gu Yuqi nodded, "Sir, please help me to see if there is any problem with that bowl of bird's nest."
"Okay." The old doctor picked up the bowl, first smelled it, then frowned, he said to Gu Yuqi, "Miss, can you have a taste of this old man?"
"En." Gu Yuqi motioned for Rouge to bring a spoon.
Rouge handed the spoon on the side to the old doctor, and the old doctor pleaded guilty. He scooped a bit and tasted it in his mouth, frowning even tighter.
Gu Yuqi looked at the old doctor nervously and asked softly, "Sir, what's wrong?"
"Miss. Rong Laoxiu will try again." The old doctor said with a cup of hands.
"Just try it, old man." Gu Yuqi couldn't sit still, got up and walked to the old doctor's side. Watch his movements and expressions carefully.
The old doctor tasted a little more, tutted carefully in his mouth, frowned and thought for a long time, then put down the spoon and threw his hands at Gu Yuqi, "Miss, have you ever given this bird's nest to my wife?"
"No." Gu Yuqi shook her head, she hurriedly asked, "But what's wrong?"
"Miss Hui." The old doctor thought for a while, but still gritted his teeth. {Look at it] "If the old man is not wrong, this bird's nest is added with the grass honey of the cold heart grass."
"Cold Heart Grass?" Gu Yuqi was startled, she had never heard of such a thing.
"Yes. Cold Heart Grass is not something we have, so few people know about it." The old doctor said, "This kind of grass grows in the Rouran territory, and it is not common. It is only found on the steep cliffs of the mountains and mountains. Yes. It's very rare. It's a coincidence. When I was young and old, I was caught by the Rouran people who practiced medicine. I was a slave for a period of time. After eating this kind of grass honey, the male master was killed. Later, their family was torn apart, and the old man fled back to Daqi, relying on medical skills to settle down in Kuizhou." The old doctor sighed, "If you don't believe me, The old man can show you, the old man's arm still has the imprint of a thousand households' slaves."
After speaking, the old doctor rolled up his sleeves, and sure enough, there was a mark on his forearm near his elbow, the mark of a slave.
"The grass honey of Cold Heart Grass?" Gu Yuqi asked, "What happens when you take it? The old gentleman took a little bit just now. Don't you want to deal with it? What do you need to detoxify?"
The old doctor twisted his beard and said, "Miss Hui, this kind of grass honey is very interesting. If it is consumed by a strong person, it is completely harmless, but if it is consumed by a weak person, it will cause a deficiency of qi and blood, and aggravate it. If you take it for a long time, it will make the disease more and more serious until you die."
Gu Yuqi only felt her scalp go numb. The pit brother.
Could it be that in the last life, the mother also died on the grass honey of the cold heart grass?
The symptoms that the old doctor mentioned just now, why did she feel as if she knew each other.
"Sir, is what you just said true?" Gu Yuqi asked.
"How could the old man coax the young lady." The old man said sternly, "The old man has practiced medicine for so many years, and he upholds two words, honesty. Miss, this kind of grass is really rare. If it weren't for the experience of the old man when he was young, only I'm afraid even the old ones don't know the existence of this grass. This grass honey has a sweet taste, so it is very difficult to be found in desserts, but after tasting it carefully, you will feel a little tingling at the base of your tongue, and there is a tinge There is no grass fragrance. If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself."
Gu Yuqi hurriedly asked Rouge to get another spoon, she scooped a spoon and put it in her mouth.
Sure enough, the entrance is as fragrant and sweet as ordinary bird's nest, but in the end, there will be a little numbness at the base of the tongue, which is very light, if you don't pay attention, you will not be able to notice it at all, and the aroma of green grass is also very light. The blandness is almost overshadowed by the other flavors.
Why does bird's nest taste like hemp and grass?
Now even Gu Yuqi had to believe it.
"Old gentleman, if you are poisoned by this grass, how can you solve it?" Gu Yuqi asked.
"Miss, this grass is not poisonous, but it can't be used for a long time by people who are weak." The old gentleman smiled, "The lady of the thousand households used this grass for her husband because her husband was not feeling well. She thought Take this opportunity to aggravate her husband's condition, and finally kill her husband."
"How did the old gentleman know the origin of this grass?" Gu Yuqi asked. "Could it be that something happened to that lady?"
"No one knew what that lady did without knowing it, but there were other concubines and sons in Qianhu's family. After Qianhu's death, the woman couldn't hold back, and the sons and daughters became a mess. So the family As for how the old man knew about the existence of this grass, it was also a coincidence. The witch doctor who gave the lady herbal medicine knew me, and I taught him some acupuncture techniques. Once he drank too much, his mouth leaked. That's why I know there is such a thing. And the grass honey of the cold heart grass is not picked. It has to be extracted with other things. As for how to extract it, I really don't know, this is someone else's The secret art of witch doctors. Only those witch doctors know."
"That means basically no one in our Daqi territory knows about the existence of this kind of thing?" Gu Yuqi asked.
"It can't be said that no one knows about this old man, but very few people even know it." The old doctor thought for a while and said, "Rouran's witch doctors are very mysterious, and their things are not passed on. A little old man can be sure. In fact, the old man is also wondering why the grass honey of the cold heart grass appears here."
The magic of witch doctors! Gu Yuqi can also be sure, because Lou Xiao's Rouran Landscapes specially mentioned the existence of witch doctors.
In Rouran, the status of witch doctors is very noble, and their actions are also very strange and mysterious. Their medical skills are only spread among their own people and will not be taught to outsiders.
The old gentleman didn't lie, and he didn't have to.
"Thank you, old man." Gu Yuqi bowed to the old doctor, and the frightened old doctor just waved her hand and said repeatedly that it was impossible.
"Please ask the old gentleman to help keep it a secret." Gu Yuqi said to the old doctor sternly, "The stakes are very important, and the old gentleman should understand the seriousness of the matter."
"That's natural." The old doctor nodded again and again, the people lying on the bed were of unusual origin, and he also knew that the young lady of Hou Mansion in front of him would become the concubine of King An in the near future. He naturally stood on Gu Yuqi's side wholeheartedly.
After Gu Yuqi sent people away, she began to stare at the bowl of bird's nest in a daze.
The old doctor is definitely not lying, which means that this bowl of bird's nest is really added with the grass honey of the cold heart grass.
Gu Yuqi had tasted it herself, the base of her tongue was slightly numb, and there was a faint scent of grass that was hard to detect.
The question is, how can there be cold heart grass in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion? According to the old gentleman, this kind of thing is not easy to find even in Rouran, it is a secret technique belonging to witch doctors.
The bird's nest was sent by Liu Yue, no wonder she was so fearless. Because there is no poison in this bird's nest at all, no matter how people test it, it will not be detected.
And ordinary people can drink this kind of bird's nest without incident, only those who are weak and weak can't take it for a long time.
Gu Yuqi's face seemed to be covered with frost. In the last life, Liu Yue used this kind of thing to kill her mother. How dare she send it in this life? !
Yes, anyway, no one has tested it out, so she naturally dared to send it. Even if the lawsuit hit the emperor, Liu Yue was not afraid, but she did not expect that Gu Yuqi would bring back from Kuizhou a woman who used to be Rouran. Slave old doctor!
The old doctor also had a friendship with a witch doctor.
Where did Liu Yue learn about this kind of thing? Where did you get it from?
An answer is about to come out, Liu Yue has colluded with Rouran's witch doctor!
Gu Yuqi patted the table and stood up abruptly.
"Go and call Chun Xing." Gu Yuqi said to Rouge.
"Yes." Rouge ran out immediately, and after a while, Chun Xing was called over.
"Sister Chunxing, you and Xia He will take Sister Qiuyue to see if Concubine Liu's cousin is still in the capital early tomorrow morning." Gu Yuqi shouted. "If he is here, let Sister Qiuyue remember his appearance, and then come back and draw it."
"Yes." Although Chun Xing didn't understand why the young lady suddenly thought of Concubine Liu's cousin, but seeing the solemn expression on the young lady's face, she also knew that the matter was very serious.
The next day, Chun Xing and Xia He took Qiuyue to Xinglintang.
This Xing Lin Tang is the shop opened by Liu Yue's so-called cousin. It has been in the capital for several years, and the business is not bad.
