Chapter 126： suspended animation

"How's the trial going?" On the way into the palace, Yang Dejin and Xie Zhi were chatting with one another.

"Very well, Ji Zhuilu has recruited."

Xie Zhi told her the whole interrogation process.

"That's right... Those incidents were all done behind his back." Yang Dejin never thought that this humble city gate leader would be a hidden monster in this world, "Then how are you going to deal with him?"

"I wanted him to pay for his life with his life, but he has too much blood debt in his hands. Killing him will make him cheaper." Xie Zhi mused, "I will definitely make Ji Zhuilu regret what he has done, and let Ji Zhuilu regret what he has done. He would rather die than live."

Hearing Xie Zhi's vicious speech, Yang Dejin just smiled: "Great, this day has finally come."

Xie Zhi met her gaze, and Yang Dejin was sincerely happy for her, congratulating her on being able to avenge her hatred and get what she wanted. At this point, Xie Zhi had a little sense of reality.

"Oh, yes."

"However, Xie Zhi, how did you know that he did all those bad things? Since when did you start to doubt him?"

Xie Zhi still said the same thing, she said that she never believed in Ji Zhuilu, but facing Yang Dejin, she had another explanation:

"Do you still remember what kind of poison Ma Yu got in the Qujiang Banquet?"

Yang Dejin frowned and thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head: "Forgot." At that time, he was afraid to go after caring, and there was no time to think about others.

Xie Zhi: "Then do you remember that on the grassland on the first day of hunting, I gave you a bouquet of flowers?"

Yang Dejin: "Well... remember, I still keep those flowers."

Xie Zhi paused, and then said: "At that time, you pointed out another brightly colored flower and asked me to pick it back."

"There is such a thing, what's the matter?"

"Then you should remember what Ji Zhuilu said at that time."

"Ji Zhuilu said it was oleander, which is highly poisonous and cannot be picked."

Xie Zhi nodded: "And at the Qujiang Banquet, the doctor of the Imperial Academy's eunuchs had the poison of oleander."

Yang Dejin suddenly realized.

Xie Zhi continued: "I have tried to find out the source of the oleander in Ma Yu's wine glass, and I have also asked all the pharmacies in the capital, but I didn't find any clues.

"But Ji Zhuilu said that this kind of flower was planted in the backyard of his house, and he almost let the children in the house eat it by mistake.

"My first reaction when I heard this was to think of the case of Qu Jiangyan. The murderer who killed Ma Yu is very likely to be by our side."

Unexpectedly, Xie Zhi could detect the clues from such subtleties, Yang Dejin really admired him: "You are worthy of it."

Xie Zhi: "Not only the Qu□□ murder case, but also the Dragon Boat case and the Dacheng Teaching case, every time there is the shadow of the Beijing Police Department, but every time Ji Zhuilu can be the first to clear the suspicion."

When the Qu □ □ killing happened, he was patrolling the river bank; when the dragon boat collapsed, he had just received the team on board; This person is simply lingering.

"Because of the oleander incident during the hunt, I began to pay special attention to his actions." Xie Zhi said, "Sure enough, I found that the city defense battalion controlling the paddock had been secretly mobilized many times, and he himself was very busy."

Yang Dejin was surprised and said, "You've been following me all this time, and I didn't even know it."

Xie Zhi: "I don't have to do it myself, but I have to control the overall situation."

Speaking of this, Xie Zhi suddenly blamed himself: "Although I have controlled the overall situation and I know that Ji Zhuilu is not clean, but I can't produce conclusive evidence, and I have sent you to jail."

Yang Dejin waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care at all: "I don't blame you, it's obviously that Ji Zhuilu is too cunning, okay?"

After finishing speaking, Yang Dejin muttered again: "Speaking of which, you gods are fighting and sniping at each other. I am just like a stand-alone player. I don't know anything and can't do anything."

This person surnamed Ji also thought that he was a film king, but she was the only one who was cast. What a big deal!

Xie Zhi heard her muttering something, knew she was complaining, and couldn't help laughing: "Sometimes, thinking too much is not a good thing, and being simple-minded can also ward off a lot of malice for you.

"Besides, who said you can't do anything? Without you, it would be very difficult for us to catch the big fish Ji Zhuilu."

Yang Dejin curled her lips: "You said I'm suitable as a bait."

"I never intended to do that." Xie Zhi was very sincere, "The reason why I can see all this clearly is thanks to you."

"Ok?"

"Seeing is not enough to believe, that's what you said."

Yang Dejin was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled faintly.

While speaking, the two had arrived at the palace's sleeping area. One was a royal family member and the other was a cabinet minister. Both of them were free to enter and exit the palace, so naturally no one dared to stop them.

Bai Qingyang didn't stay by Li Zichou's side, she wanted to, but the time she could be with Li Zichou was limited due to the entanglement in the court affairs.

There were only three people in the huge inner hall, the doctor Hang Xiao was checking the pulse routinely, the other imperial doctor was recording the condition with a brush, and Lu Xiaoying stood aside with a solemn expression.

"His Royal Highness Prince Yu."

"Thank you servant."

Yang Dejin nodded to the three of them, and came to the bedside: "Medical Officer Hang, how is she?"

Medical officer Hang Xiao: "The pulse is very weak, it beats and stops. Wolf's poison is temporarily suppressed, but His Majesty is very weak now, and there is no way to keep it going for a long time."

Yang Dejin pursed her lips, worrying between her brows: "Really..."

In order to delay the toxin's damage to the internal organs, the medical officer tried no less than a hundred kinds of medicinal materials, which slowed down the metabolism of the poisoned person, and Li Zifu fell into a long deep sleep because of this, almost close to suspended animation.

Doctor Hang's method of treatment was unconventional. It can be said that the queen's life was hung on the edge of a cliff. One mistake would lead to eternal doom, and all his colleagues were terrified.

Doctor Hang herself did not dare to relax for a moment. Seeing that the toxicity had been brought under control, she began to research and manufacture a prescription that could replace the wolfgut grass root for detoxification. For this reason, the medicinal materials stored in the entire imperial pharmacy were almost out of supply.

"Does His Royal Highness Prince Yu have any news about Wolfgut Grass Roots?"

Yang Dejin shook her head: "No."

Xie Zhi: "Those prairie people have no antidote."

Lu Xiaoying: "Then what should I do... Is it true that I can only ask for it from Shuobei?"

Xie Zhi: "The situation on the border is tense, and the Shuobei people will not do what we want."

The hall fell into an oppressive silence, and no one made a sound for a long time.

It was the little medical officer Hang who said: "I'm going to change the medicine for the queen, everyone, please avoid it for a while."

Poisoning is one aspect. The arrow wound on the back of Li Zifu's shoulder has not healed yet, and he still needs to change the gauze frequently and apply the medicine, so he can't be careless.

Yang Dejin: "Let me stay."

Doctor Hang was preparing clean gauze. When he heard this, he raised his head and looked at her: "His Royal Highness, it is enough to have the servant and the queen's personal maid here."

Yang Dejin looked at the comatose Li Zishou, and repeated that sentence: "Let me stay."

Doctor Hang: "But Your Majesty..."

"Medical officer," Xie Zhi approached, whispered something in Miss Hang's ear, and then begged, "Let her stay."

After hearing this, the medical officer Hang Xiao took a look at Yang Dejin, with some surprise in his eyes, and then compromised: "Okay."

Xie Zhi shook Yang Dejin's shoulder, said nothing, and left the palace with another male imperial physician.

The wound on Li Zichou's back was already healing, but she hadn't recuperated well a few days ago, and she was lying on her back in bed recently, so her recovery was really not good.

When the **** gauze was removed, he could smell the pungent smell of medicine powder in the air, mixed with the rusty smell of blood, and the deep red wound made Yang Dejin wipe away tears silently.

She has been running around for the past two days, searching all the places she can find, and using all the people who can be used, but the result is still in vain. Li Zishou's life and death are uncertain, but she can't do anything, she can only watch her best friend weaken day by day, how can she not feel sad?

Yang Dejin sniffed, covered her mouth with her right hand, blinked her tearful eyes, and forced herself to look at the hideous wound.

This **** lied to her that the skin trauma she suffered was not serious. Does it look like it's not serious? !

After Li Zishou woke up, she would definitely beat her up.

After giving Li Zifu the medicine, Lu Xiaoying stayed and continued to take care of the queen, while Doctor Hang Xiao and another imperial physician returned to the imperial hospital.

Yang Dejin walked out of Li Zichou's dormitory slowly. She wanted to stay with her best friend, but the antidote had not been found yet, and it would be useless for her to stay.

"Yang Dejin." Xie Zhi stopped her.

Yang Dejin has been in a low mood since she came back, the expression on her face is far less lively than usual, even if she occasionally smiled, it always dissipated quickly, so Xie Zhi was worried.

"Xie Zhi..."

Seeing that Yang Dejin was sad, Xie Zhi pulled her into his arms without saying a word, and pressed her head into his shoulders with his hands, just like the last time she comforted him.

Yang Dejin was taller than her, and seemed to be taken aback at the moment of being hugged, then slowly raised his hand to clasp Xie Zhi's back, tears blurred his vision.

"I...I can't do anything, I'm really incompetent..."

"Don't say that, you've worked hard."

"But...but when she was injured and disappeared, when she was busy planning operations...I wasn't by her side, I couldn't even share the pain for her, I...I was a failed friend..."

"you are not."

"Why not?! It's me who has been worrying her all along... Now she's injured and sick... I, I..."

"Forget about Yang Dejin, you and her have been friends for eight years, she won't blame you."

"I know, I know but..."

"Her Majesty must not want to see you blame yourself like this, she is still waiting for you to save her."

"What can I do... I can't find it, I've searched through several state capitals... I can't find it at all..."

"Yang Dejin, even though Her Majesty's life was dying, Her Majesty did not give up. I will not give up. I believe that Bai Qingyang will not give up either, so you must not give up."

"But, there is no antidote..."

"There are always more solutions than difficulties. Things will always turn around, so cheer up first."

Yang Dejin was silent for a while, let go of her hug, and wiped away her tears with her sleeve: "You are right."

Seeing hope appeared in her eyes again, Xie Zhi breathed a sigh of relief: "This is you."

"Xie Zhi, thank you."

"Thank you for what, I haven't done anything yet."

Yang Dejin suppressed her emotions and looked at the woman in official uniform in front of her: "Because no matter what happens, you are always by my side, obviously you don't need to worry about these things for me."

"Why did you say this all of a sudden?"

"Zifu told me that when I was put in jail, you were the one who interceded for me."

Xie Zhi blinked, and was a little surprised that she mentioned this matter, she smiled awkwardly: "Why suddenly... I know that you are an upright person with a pure heart, and you will never do bad things."

"You can trust me, I'm really grateful, Xie Zhi, you are really a very good person."

Faced with such sincere praise, Xie Zhi looked up at her, as if responding to her, but also as if he was talking to himself: "I'm not...good to everyone."

Yang Dejin was stunned, Xie Zhi only had eyes on herself at this moment, which made her a little at a loss, feeling...

Before she could ask, an abrupt voice sounded at this moment.

"Hey, it's strange... where did this person go?"

The author has something to say:

Li Zishou: Do you have to fall in love when I am offline?
