Chapter 437 Is there any misunderstanding in the middle
She wasn't sure if Doctor Lin could find out.
This medicine was made by her uncle-master when she was in the Taoist temple. Her uncle-master was good at making poisons that were colorless, odorless, and difficult to detect. When she asked her uncle-master to make this poison, her uncle-master thought that she had taken a fancy to that man and wanted to use this medicine to knock him down. Her uncle-master said that he would definitely make her an aphrodisiac that was colorless, odorless, and difficult to detect, and guaranteed that men would drink it without noticing.
She knew that her uncle had that ability.
Many martial artists would ask their uncles to buy medicine, and the government would not be able to find out anything afterwards.
However, I heard that Doctor Lin was different from ordinary coroners. He had great medical skills and learned from a high-ranking family. So I was not sure whether the medicine given by my uncle-master could still be used to find out the cause.
If her identity was exposed, she would just kill King Dongli to avenge her parents.
Because of nervousness, the fingers under the sleeves tightly clenched the corners of the clothes.
Gu Jianchu did not miss Zhou Xiang's subtle emotions.
Doctor Lin put the medicine between his nose and sniffed it, then brought it to his lips and took a sip. Just a tiny sip, and he felt a little dizzy, and his body was floating uncontrollably, as if there was a fire burning. Doctor Lin still maintained enough rationality to look at the little apprentice beside him in time, "Cold water."
The young disciple chosen by Doctor Lin was naturally no mediocre person. Upon hearing Doctor Lin's words, the young disciple reacted quickly and ran to the table to pour a glass of cold water, and without thinking, splashed it directly on Doctor Lin's face.
The cold water poured on his face lowered his body temperature, and Doctor Lin became much more sober.
"That bottle of red pills." Doctor Lin ordered hurriedly.
Before coming, Gu Jianchu asked Yunhe to tell him that he might need an antidote for the aphrodisiac, and asked him to prepare the medicine in advance to avoid being in a hurry when the time comes. Unexpectedly, he would use the prepared medicine himself.
The young apprentice quickly found the red medicine bottle from the bottom of the medicine box and poured two pills into Doctor Lin's hands. Just as he was about to stand up and fetch water, Yunhe had already quickly brought the water over.
"Thank you." After expressing his gratitude, the young disciple took the water and fed the pills to Doctor Lin along with the water.
After taking the pills, Doctor Lin felt much better.
Doctor Lin knelt before Gu Jianchu again and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this tea has been spiked with a heavy dose of aphrodisiac. This aphrodisiac is extremely strong, and only a tiny amount is enough to turn a grown man on. It's not a hangover pill at all."
"It's actually an aphrodisiac." Gu Jianchu's cold gaze fell on Zhou Xiang.
"Didn't you say it was a hangover medicine? What else is there to explain now?"
Zhou Xiang did not kneel down, but a sharp look flashed in his eyes.
[Oh no, she's going to attack King Dongli.]
The moment Gu Jianchu's voice fell, Zhou Xiang quickly pulled out the hairpin in her hair. The hairpin had a mechanism. With a light press, one end turned into an extremely sharp knife. She walked lightly and teleported behind King Dongli, pressing the hairpin in her hand against King Dongli's neck.
At the same time, another person who reacted quickly was Xie Ci'an.
When he heard Gu Jianchu's thoughts, he stood in front of Gu Jianchu without any hesitation, almost using his entire body to protect Gu Jianchu.
In such a dangerous moment, the only remaining instinctive reaction is to protect others behind you, just like some selfish people will instinctively push the people around them away to resist the risk when danger comes.
Similarly, in such dangerous moments, the instinct to protect the loved one, even at the expense of one's own safety, is truly true love, and cannot be achieved through exploitation.
When Gu Jianchu saw Xie Ci'an's tall figure standing in front of him, he could only feel moved.
As an emperor, he didn't care about his own safety and stood in front of her to protect her safety. How could it not move people?
Even if it was for the child, he didn't have to do this, because there were plenty of women in the world who wanted to give birth to his children, and there was no need to gamble his life for her.
In such an urgent situation, people are probably left with only instinctive reactions.
Xie Qingrou and Xie Qingzhi, who were sitting on the armchair, took a long time to react to this sudden change.
Especially when she saw Xie Ci'an naturally protecting Gu Jianchu behind him, she couldn't help but sigh that their Xie family finally had a romantic man. However, when she saw the small dagger in Zhou Xiang's hand against King Dongli's neck, Xie Qingrou became panicked.
In an instant, people from the Imperial City Bureau rushed out from the darkness and protected the emperor, empress and two princesses.
King Dongli's body was stiff and he dared not move, for fear that any movement would bump into the dagger.
He could feel that although the dagger looked very small, it was very sharp. Just now, he just moved slightly and it cut the skin on his neck.
"Hongying, don't move. As long as you don't hurt him, no matter what you want, we can satisfy you. We can either send you out of the palace safely, give you a large sum of money, and let you enjoy endless wealth and glory in this life." Xie Qingrou said anxiously.
Xie Qingrou herself didn't know what was wrong with her. When she saw King Dongli on the verge of life and death, she felt inexplicably panicked.
When King Dongli saw Xie Qingrou was nervous for him, he felt indescribably excited.
Even though he was excited, he didn't dare to express it in words.
Zhou Xiang was thin and almost invisible standing behind King Dongli, with only half of his thin body exposed. The hairpin in his hand was held tightly, almost against King Dongli's throat. With just a little force, the tiny cold blade could penetrate his neck in an instant and take King Dongli's life.
At this moment, Zhou Xiang was no longer as servile as before. His voice was filled with a strong coldness. "I don't want anything. I only want the life of King Dongli."
"Why do you want to take King Dongli's life? Does he have a grudge against you?" Xie Qingrou tried to delay time as much as possible.
Prince Dongli has a kind personality. When he was still a prince, he rarely made enemies with others. In recent years, he was assigned by the previous Prince Dongli to provide disaster relief everywhere. He was considered to be kind to others. How could someone hate Prince Dongli so much and even want to take his life?
Could it be that King Dongli did something evil without their knowledge?
Speaking of hatred, Zhou Xiang's face showed ferocity, "Of course I have hatred. King Dongli killed my whole family."
Hearing this, not only was Xie Qingrou shocked, but even King Dongli showed an expression of disbelief. He rarely killed, so how could he possibly do such a thing as killing an entire family? King Dongli's throat was held against him, and he spoke with difficulty, "Miss, is there some misunderstanding here?"
"There is no misunderstanding. It was you who ordered the killing of my entire family. Xie Qingrou didn't expect that your brother-in-law is more vicious than your nominal husband." Zhou Xiang stared at Xie Qingrou with a vicious look on his face.
