Poor Lady Chapter 74: Coercion
Gu Jinyun and Qi Surong discussed it and decided to keep it a secret from Gu Chang for the time being, and ask Jiang Yao to come and check it out.
Qi Surong asked Jiang Yao to come to Gu's house on the pretext of feeling unwell.
Jiang Yao took Gu Jinyun's pulse, his face was serious, and he didn't speak for a long time. Although Gu and Qi were anxious, they didn't interrupt his thoughts.
A moment later, Jiang Yao said: "Young master is not sick, but poisoned."
Qi Surong was not surprised to hear this answer, and asked, "What kind of poison is this? Is there a way to detoxify it?"
Jiang Yao shook his head: "This kind of poison should come from the Western Regions, I just heard about it. It is said that there is a poisonous weed in the Western Regions called 'Campixu', eating it can make people crazy, but this state will only last for a couple of days After an hour, it will return to normal, and unless it is consumed for a long time, the disease will not continue.”
"What does Doctor Jiang mean is that someone gave my husband this kind of squid for a long time?" Qi Surong and Gu Jinyun looked at each other.
"That's not necessarily the case." Jiang Yao said again, "There is another possibility, that is, someone has refined a poison that can cause people to go crazy for a long time, which has improved the effectiveness of the squid."
Gu Jinyun said: "If someone poisons me for a long time, it is impossible for me not to find out."
"I'm afraid it's not easy to refine this kind of poison?" Qi Surong guessed.
Jiang Yao nodded: "This kind of poison is rare in the Central Plains. It should be from the Western Regions pharmacist. You'd better find this person as soon as possible. Only he can detoxify you, and the time should be fast. According to my diagnosis, my son The number of attacks will become more and more, and the duration of each attack will be longer and longer, up to three months, and his life will be in danger."
Gu Jinyun's eyes were fixed, and Qi Surong's heart tightened.
Sending Jiang Yao away, Qi Surong asked, "Jin Yun, have you had any contact with people from the Western Regions?"
"I have done several transactions, but they are all low-value goods. There have been no conflicts in the transaction, and there is absolutely no possibility of enmity."
"That's strange, how many people in Weiguo know this kind of poison? Why did they poison you?" Qi Surong was puzzled, but she had a faint feeling that she seemed to have overlooked something, and she couldn't remember it for a while.
"I'll check it out, don't worry too much." Gu Jinyun held her in his arms and comforted her.
"Don't worry too much? Doctor Jiang just said that you only have three months! How can you find the antidote in such a short time?" Qi Surong frowned.
"For you, I will not die easily."
"This is what you said, don't break your word."
"Well, I still have this." Gu Jinyun took out the handkerchief embroidered with piglets.
Qi Surong smiled through tears: "Okay, from now on, every time you break your promise, I will embroider a piglet on your clothes."
"Okay."
"That's right." Qi Surong asked, "Are you planning to keep it a secret from father and others?"
Gu Jinyun was silent for a moment, and said: "Help it first, telling them will only increase troubles, and spreading this matter will be of no benefit other than disturbing people's hearts."
"Okay, I support your decision." Qi Surong nodded, "From now on, you don't have to go to sleep in the study, I will just tie you to my bed at night."
"... very good."
Although Jiang Yao can't do anything about the poison, he can help Gu Jinyun relieve the symptoms of the disease. Gu Jinyun usually goes crazy every two or three days, but after taking the pill prepared by Jiang Yao, he can still maintain some sanity.
During the day, Gu Jinyun went about his business as usual. On the one hand, he sent people to investigate the person who poisoned him, and on the other hand, he went around looking for pharmacists from the Western Regions. However, it took more than two months to go back and forth from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, not to mention that the pharmacist they found might not be able to cure the poison.
In the evening, Gu Jinyun would be **** into rice dumplings and lay stiffly beside Qi Surong. If he couldn't help shouting, Qi Surong would stop his mouth with a handkerchief. If the rest of the Gu family saw this scene, they would be too horrified to speak, this scene is too cruel...
One month has passed without any progress. Qi Surong soon discovered that three of Gu Jinyun's nails had turned blue. She was very anxious, but helpless.
There is still no news from the person sent to the Western Regions, and it is not known whether a pharmacist can be successfully brought back. It's a shame that she didn't know much about the Western Regions in her last life. If Feng Zhan... Feng Zhan? Qi Surong's eyes lit up, she finally knew what she had neglected before. Among the people she knew, Feng Zhan was the one who harbored malice towards Gu Jinyun and knew the strange poisons of the Western Regions. He often went on missions to foreign countries, and he knew the scenery of various places in detail. A few years later, he also wrote three widely circulated annals of scenery, and the introduction of the Western Regions was one of them.
As if to confirm Qi Surong's conjecture, Feng Zhan sent someone to deliver a letter to her. The letter only consisted of a simple number of crosses: the antidote is here, if you want to get it, just pass it on.
Qi Surong angrily crumpled up the letter paper and threw it far away. In her mind, she remembered the three choices that Feng Zhan had proposed to her in Mrs. Zhang's manor. One of them is "Marry Gu Jinyun, and then secretly communicate with me. When I want, you can't refuse."
Qi Surong took a deep breath. She would rather die with Jin Yun than bow to Feng Zhan. home insult.
Feng Zhan is already married to Liu Qian'er, why are they still entangled? Even at the expense of poisoning Jinyun.
Qi Surong walked back and forth in the room, very anxious. She didn't notice that Jin Yun just walked into the room, picked up the ball of paper she threw out, opened it, looked gloomy, and put the paper back into her sleeve without showing a trace.
"Jin Yun, do you have any good news?" Qi Surong greeted him.
Gu Jinyun didn't say a word, just picked her up by the waist, and strode into the inner room.
"Jin Yun, you..." Before Qi Surong could react, he was pushed down on the bed.
After lingering like a storm, Qi Surong lay limp in Gu Jinyun's arms, without even the strength to speak.
Gu Jinyun's fingers slowly brushed across her skin, and whispered: "Don't go see Feng Zhan."
"You know?" Qi Surong responded lazily.
"Yeah."
"Don't worry, I won't go see him." Qi Surong lay on Gu Jinyun's body, "You trust me."
"I believe in you, I believe that you will pay any price to save me."
Qi Surong raised his head: "Do you think that in order to save you, I can disregard my name, reputation and face to have **** with other men- okay?"
Gu Jinyun looked at her deeply and said, "If he gets involved with you, I will kill him."
"You don't need to do it, I will kill him myself." Qi Surong looked serious.
Gu Jinyun took her hand, put it on his lips and kissed it: "These hands are not suitable for killing people."
"You are not suitable either." Qi Surong held his face in his hands and whispered, "You are only suitable to be Qi Surong's husband."
Gu Jinyun turned over, entered her, and possessed her.
Amidst the intense joy-love, Qi Surong vaguely thought that even if they couldn't find the pharmacist from the Western Regions and couldn't get the antidote from Feng Zhan, they still had a glimmer of hope, which was to find her master.
If there are only two people in the world who can cure this strange poison, her master is definitely one of them.
