Chapter 163 The person who cracked the chess game
When Jiu Ge heard such good tea, he looked at Jiu Yu with dazzling eyes and said softly: "Brother, I want to drink it too."
"You haven't recovered yet. This tea is cold, so you can't drink it. When you recover, my brother will cook it for you." Jiuyu saw her pursed lips, her brows gentle, and pinched her cheeks: "Be obedient. "
Jiuge lowered his eyelashes and drank a bowl of cold water.
"This is snow mist tea. The peak is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. There are several wild tea trees growing there. In winter, when there is a layer of snow, you can pick them. The snow water on the tea leaves is put into a clean jar and used Make this snow mist tea." Jiuyu put away the tea bowl in front of Su Wan.
Su Wan raised her eyebrows and said, "So elegant."
"There are only one or two taels of tea a year. I don't have much here. I'll leave the tea for you this winter." Jiuyu washed the bowl and sat across from Su Wan: "Mrs. Gu, can you return the bracelet to me? I'll give it to you again." I’ll give you something.”
He took out a sachet from his sleeve and placed it in front of Su Wan.
"This is a herbal pack for refreshing your mind and relieving fatigue. If you wear it for a few days, you will no longer feel tired or weak."
Su Wan stared at a sachet made of gray cloth embroidered with white cranes on the table. The faint herbal fragrance hit her nostrils and smelled very good.
Something flashed quickly in her eyes, and she took out the bracelet from her sleeve pocket and placed it in front of Jiuyu.
Congshan Ruliu said: "This bracelet was given to you brothers and sisters by your mother. I can't take advantage of it."
Su Wan picked up the sachet, opened it, and took a closer look at the herbal bag inside. It was indeed as effective as Jiu Yu said, and there were no other harmful substances. She hung it around her waist.
Jiuge saw that her brother and Sister Su Wan had a good relationship. She was very happy. She couldn't help but think that it would be better if Sister Su Wan had not gotten married. Being her sister-in-law would be even more perfect.
"Brother, are you returning to secular life?"
Jiuge hopes that his brother can have his own happiness, instead of living a miserable life in a Taoist temple.
"We'll talk about it then." Jiuyu didn't give a definite answer.
Jiuge stopped asking questions, knowing that his brother had his own reasons.
"How do you arrange Jiu Ge?" Su Wan asked.
"She stays in the Taoist temple." Jiuyu stood up and bowed to Su Wan: "During this time, Ge'er has troubled you to take care of her."
"I like Jiu Ge very much, you're welcome." Su Wan stood up and said, "I will retire after my work is done, and I won't disturb you two brothers and sisters from talking about themselves."
The brother and sister sent Su Wan out of the Taoist temple.
Su Wan went down the mountain and got into the carriage. She opened her hand, and there were two tea leaves in her palm, which was the bowl of tea she drank. She looked at it for a long time and didn't notice anything wrong.
Su Wan took off the sachet from her waist, poured out the herbs inside, and fell into deep thought.
Jiuyu would not give her a sachet for no reason, and specially made Xuewu tea for her to drink. This kind of snow mist tea is not a simple tea, but rather a kind of medicine that is good for the body.
Otherwise, why did he not refill the cup for her when she clearly had a pot of tea, but instead took the bowl away after she expressed her attitude.
Jiu Ge's body was clearly in good health. Just a cup of tea would not have any impact, but he refused.
Su Wan guessed that the crux was the bracelet. She discovered Jiuyu's secret of poisoning the emperor, so Jiuyu gave her a bracelet and then quietly introduced her to the poison, inducing the poison and getting rid of her.
She found Jiuge and sent him back. Jiuyu gave her a bowl of snow mist tea to solve the problem left by the bracelet?
Otherwise, how could there be any reason to take back the things that were given away?
Su Wan sighed. Jiuyu was a master of poison, and he knew she was a healer, so the things he gave her left no trace at all, making them hard to detect.
If she didn't want to win over him, Su Wan wouldn't accept his bracelet.
She thought of something, raised the corners of her mouth, and put the remaining tea into the sachet.
——
Jiu Yu stood at the door of the Taoist temple, watching Su Wan leave. He asked the Taoist boy to go to the temple to spread a word, then took Jiu Ge back to the dormitory, raised his hand to close the door, and stared at his black nails.
He remembered that the only thing Su Wan had brief contact with was the tea bowl.
Not only was Jiuyu not annoyed, but there was a faint smile in his eyes.
She was warning him.
He sighed slightly, Su Wan was too responsive, and she would figure out any of his moves. Even if she didn't give her a cup of snow mist tea today, Su Wan didn't notice the problem with the bracelet for the time being. She would notice it when she saw the medicine lead, right?
Jiu Yu thought that this cup of snow mist tea would not save Su Wan, but save himself.
If he wanted to poison Su Wan, he had to use something mutually reinforcing.
Su Wan poisoned him, but even though he was alert, he still managed to kill him easily.
"Brother, what's wrong with your hand?" Jiuge screamed.
Within a moment, Jiuyu's hand was completely black and painful as if it were pricked by needles.
"It's okay, brother will figure it out."
Jiu Yu forced himself to hold back and did not reveal anything wrong. He placed Jiu Ge properly. He entered the pharmacy and began to diagnose that Su Wan had poisoned him.
Two hours passed, and the pain in Jiuyu's hand became more severe with each wave. Cold sweat dripped on his forehead. He put the refined pill in his mouth and swallowed it.
"Bang——"
Jiu Yu fell to the ground, his stomach cramped and his face turned pale.
"Brother! Brother! What's wrong with you?" Jiuge pushed the door open and saw Jiuyu sweating profusely. He was about to cry: "Are you feeling unwell? Sister Su Wan is very powerful. I asked her to treat you. "
Jiuyu gave a bitter smile, "There is no distinction between medicine and poison. Su Wan has superb medical skills and is also first-rate in using poisons."
Based on the symptoms, he thought it was Xuanyun poison and followed the formula of Xuanyun poison to detoxify it, but the poison was aggravated.
Jiu Yu felt fishy and sweet in his throat. He swallowed it, fearing that it would frighten Jiu Ge.
"I'm fine." Jiu Yu supported Jiu Ge to stand up and pushed Jiu Ge's hand away, "I'm going down the mountain."
"elder brother……"
"Don't follow me. Nothing will happen to me." Jiu Yu told the Taoist boy to look at Jiu Ge. He slowly walked towards the door, preparing to go down the mountain to find Su Wan and sincerely apologize to her.
As soon as he walked out of the Taoist temple, he saw Qi Liu standing at the door.
"The eldest lady gave it to you." Qi Liu threw the medicine bottle in his hand to him.
Jiuyu held the medicine bottle and pursed her thin lips. After a while, he whispered: "You can apologize to Mrs. Gu for me. You will definitely come to apologize in person one day."
Qi Liu glanced at Jiu Yu's blackened hands and said, "The eldest lady said that you should be calmer, which is her reward." After leaving these words, he hurried down the mountain to meet Su Wan.
"Miss, I gave him the medicine." Qi Liu reported.
Su Wan said "Yeah", her voice hoarse as if she had woken up from sleep, "Let's go back home."
Qi Liu got on the shaft of the carriage and drove the carriage.
Su Wan threw the sachet wrapped around her fingertips out of the carriage window and fell to the ground.
After a while, a group of people walked out of the green shade of the mountains.
Xie Wuya stopped, picked up the sachet on the ground, saw the white crane embroidered on it, and thought of the words coming from Zhimiao Temple. The person who cracked the chess game was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, wearing a gray sachet embroidered with white cranes around her waist.
He ordered the followers behind him: "Go and find out who left the mountain just now."
