Chapter 5 Strange Poison: Egret
If He Yunxiao remembered correctly, Nanzhu's wife was only seventeen years old. To make her a "Roubao", she had to get married first and then turn eighteen.
Although Qi State did not have the saying of eighteen years old, He Yunxiao had to be at ease.
Even in the most extreme cases, she had to be over sixteen years old.
Even if it was Mengbao, if it was not an emergency, He Yunxiao would probably not touch her body.
In Qi State society, what does it mean to touch a girl's body? Those who understand know.
Take the system for example. Originally, He Yunxiao did not touch Mengbao's body. Mengbao was stuck at 75 favorability. After touching her body, her favorability soared to 100, and her heart knot was gone. Although favorability cannot 100% reflect the true emotional state of the heroine, it is absolutely fine as an auxiliary reference.
The heroines are all very loyal girls. If you touch her body, she will only have one choice to be with you. In the case of no choice, the favorability will naturally soar to the top. Not to mention the sincere cooperation, frankness and in-depth communication when the body was moved. These are all behaviors that can greatly increase the favorability.
Before, He Yunxiao always disliked Meng Bao for being troublesome, but now that he has taken Meng Bao's body, he has to bear Meng Bao's responsibility. In the future, the emperor of Qi cannot be moved, and he can only have bad ideas about the emperor of Yan.
He Yunxiao now only hopes that the emperor of Yan is an old man who has done many evil things, and he will directly execute justice and drive him off the stage. Don't make up the setting that the emperor of Yan is actually a great beauty!
In my harem, the relationship between the various heroines is already a mess, and now there is a Meng Bao who is the most likely to make trouble. I don't know how chaotic it will be in the future. If the emperor of Yan is a woman, I can only stay away from her. As for others, I dare not even think about it!
Impossible, impossible. The social situation in Qi and Yan is similar. It is a basic setting to favor boys over girls. Even the heroine Meng Qingqian has not been able to truly sit on the throne. She suffers from her female identity everywhere. The Emperor of Yan, who unified the Yan Kingdom, cannot be a woman. And there has never been any gossip about the gender of the Emperor of Yan, so the Emperor of Yan must be a man!
When thinking of the Emperor of Yan, He Yunxiao thought of the strange poison that suddenly appeared in Meng Bao.
Logically speaking, there is no reason for the Emperor of Yan to kill Li Qingmeng first and then Meng Qingqian. This is not logical at all. No matter how you calculate it, it is better to kill Meng Qingqian first. Although Meng Bao is strong, she is just Meng Qingqian's subordinate.
"Rou'er, have you heard of a strange poison called 'White Egret'?"
Meng Qingrou tilted her head slightly and thought for a moment, then said, "I have heard of it, but why are you asking this?"
He Yunxiao was overjoyed and said, "Good boy Rou'er, tell me where this poison comes from, what are its characteristics, and how to solve it."
Meng Qingrou's face instantly turned red when He Yunxiao called her "Good boy Rou'er". She stammered, "Who is it, you, you, Nanzhu is not obedient."
"Not obedient?"
"Obedience! No, no, not obedient! No, not obedient either. Oh! He Yunxiao! You're pissing me off!"
He Yunxiao looked at Nanzhu's wife and smiled, "Rou'er is the best. Rou'er is a good child, right?"
Meng Qingrou blushed, not convinced at all, "No. Nanzhu is already an adult, not a child."
He Yunxiao said, "Then stretch out your hand."
Meng Qingrou stretched out her hand, and He Yunxiao also stretched out his hand. When their hands touched each other, the five fingers of the little hand naturally separated, waiting for the big hand to interweave and hold them.
He Yunxiao was trying to hold back his laughter, and Meng Qingrou was already ashamed.
"Ahem, ahem." Xing'er walked into the room with a blank expression, carrying the rice porridge.
The two who were flirting just now sat up straight in an instant.
After putting the porridge on the table, Xing'er said, "Your Highness, Mr. He, Xing'er will go out first."
Meng Qingrou lowered her head, not daring to look at Xing'er, "Okay."
He Yunxiao smiled and waved goodbye to Xing'er.
"Rou'er, let's talk business. What is the situation with the egret?"
Meng Qingrou's face was still red with shame, so she said with a red face: "'Egret' is a strange poison related to birds. It is often found in the feces of egrets and other birds."
He Yunxiao's face turned pale, "Feces?"
Meng Qingrou didn't understand what He Yunxiao meant, but said seriously: "'Egret' is a strange poison produced from bird feces, extracted from the feces of many birds. About one drop is taken for every 100 jin. According to the records in the book, this ratio is not accurate, and sometimes it may be one drop for every 1,000 jin. In short, it depends on the situation."
"Then what?"
"Then you can use this drop of toxin to poison. The poisoned person will lose strength all over the body and finally die of exhaustion. The deeper the poison, the faster the exhaustion. "
"Is there any way to prevent it?"
Meng Qingrou shook her head, "No, there are few records of this poison in medical books, only what I just said."
He Yunxiao was surprised: "Then Rou'er can't detoxify it either?"
Meng Qingrou frowned and said: "Nanzhu has never encountered it, it's hard to say whether it can be detoxified. However, if you are poisoned by this kind of toxin, you must induce vomiting as soon as possible, vomit out the remaining toxins in the stomach first, let the poisoned person's exhaustion speed slow down, and then try to detoxify. "
He Yunxiao thought about his actions at the time, which was exactly the opposite of what Nanzhu said. He deepened Qingmeng's toxicity at the beginning. From the final result, it can only be said that Qingmeng was lucky, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
But...
I was sitting with Qingmeng at the time, and she didn't eat anything. How could she suddenly be poisoned?
"Nanzhu, is there any other way to poison this toxin besides eating it?"
"Applying it on swords and guns, cutting other people's skin, can also make people poisoned. "
What's strange is that Qing Meng was not injured, so why was he suddenly poisoned?
"Are there any other ways to poison me?"
Meng Qingrou shook her head, "No more."
"He Yunxiao, what do you ask 'Egret' to do?"
He Yunxiao reached out and touched Nanzhu's wife's head, "Your sister has a henchman who was poisoned, but it has been solved now. I will ask questions on her behalf. See if I can find any clues about the poisoner."
"Oh." Meng Qingrou didn't know much about her sister's subordinates, so she didn't ask any more questions.
But He Yunxiao thought of another thing.
"Rou'er, did you give Meng Qingqian the sachet you made for her?"
"Well," Meng Qingrou said with a smile, "My sister likes it very much. She said she will always carry it with her."
He Yunxiao said jealously: "Rou'er only cares about Meng Qingqian and doesn't care about her husband. Turn your elbows outward."
Meng Qingrou didn't have Yunxiao's tricks. She didn't realize what "her husband" and "turning your elbows outward" meant at all. She just defended anxiously: "No! Nanzhu doesn't!"
Although she subconsciously acknowledged her identity, she herself was confused and completely ignorant.
He Yunxiao neither explained nor teased, but just stretched out his hand, "No? What about the sachet that Rou'er embroidered for me?"
Meng Qingrou jumped off the chair, and just as she was about to look for it, she found that her little hand was still being held by He Yunxiao. So he could only look longingly at the hands held by the two of them and He Yunxiao's eyes.
He Yunxiao smiled helplessly, let go, and said to Nanzhu's wife: "Go."
Meng Qingrou got free and quickly ran to the side of the room and rummaged in the drawer, and she actually found a sachet.
Seeing Nanzhu's wife coming back with something, He Yunxiao moved his hand on the chair and said, "Hold your hand."
Meng Qingrou was used to holding hands. Even if He Yunxiao said this, she didn't think it was a big deal. She ran all the way and took the initiative to put her little hand in his, then put the sachet on the table and pushed it in front of him.
He Yunxiao was very moved when he saw that Nanzhu's wife actually embroidered a sachet for him: "Is this specially embroidered by Rou'er for me?"
Meng Qingrou said truthfully: "This is too ugly. I'm embarrassed to give it to my sister, so I'll give it to you."
