Chapter 549 Blood Shadow Powder
Chapter 549 Blood Shadow Powder
At daybreak, Liancheng hurried over with a medicine box and Lianqiao.
Perhaps they had heard that Shen Shuyi was poisoned, so they looked anxious.
After half a cup of tea, Liancheng concentrated and calmed himself, carefully taking Shen Shuyi's pulse.
It was not until he stopped that Lian Qiao asked, "How is it, Dad?"
Lian Cheng stroked his non-existent beard, frowning, "She didn't lie to you. This poison is called Blood Shadow Powder. After being poisoned, a red mole will appear on the heart. Every day, a red line will spread from there to the surroundings. After seven days, the red line will spread to the fingertips, and the person will die suddenly!"
Upon hearing this, the maids' faces changed.
"Can it be solved?" Lian Qiao couldn't help but ask, obviously a little anxious.
Lian Cheng said in a deep voice: "It is not difficult to prepare this antidote. The difficult part is that you need a kind of grass called Bauhinia, and you have to pick it when the tip of the grass blooms blue-purple flowers. Only then can it be used as medicine."
Jinzhu was anxious and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean? So do you want grass or flowers?"
"We need grass, but Bauhinia grass is extremely poisonous. The toxin disappears only when the flowers bloom. When the flowers wither, the toxin returns to the Bauhinia grass. At this time, it cannot be used as medicine."
Jinzhu couldn't help but curse: "How can there be such a wicked grass?"
Lian Qiao asked: "Where can I find this kind of grass?"
"It's in the mountains, in an extremely cold place. The grass is gray-purple in color, so it's not easy to identify. It's really hard to wait until it blooms."
Liancheng was obviously also very worried. After all, due to the special nature of this grass, it was unlikely to be found even in the palace.
"And even if you make the antidote, you have to take it for seven days straight. If you miss even one day, all the results will be in vain and you'll have to take the antidote again."
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi finally understood how Xiao Mengxi planned to control her.
Of course, with this medicine in her hands, my life is in her hands, and I have no choice but to bow my head.
"Excuse me, sir."
After seeing Liancheng off, the maids all had sad faces.
Seeing Jinzhu start packing her luggage, Shen Shuyi was full of questions: "What are you doing?"
"I'll go find that damn grass for the young lady!"
Upon hearing this, Yuping, Qinxin and the others also perked up: "Yes, we'll go too."
Shen Shuyi: "..."
"Let my uncle hire some people to go up the mountain and look for it. It happens to be winter now, and there are many people who are short of money. Hiring more people can help them find a way to survive."
As soon as Shen Shuyi said this, Jin Zhu couldn't help but get anxious: "Miss, it's already this time! You're still considering others!"
Shen Shuyi tapped her head and said, "Instead of looking for this redbud grass, it's better to start with Princess Guining."
Several people were stunned, and Shen Shuyi did not explain further.
Xiao Mengxi's goal is to make her marry Xiao Rui, not to kill her. She hopes to control her and make her surrender, so she must have the antidote in her hand.
I just don't know if she can find the antidote for the 'Ten Days and a Half Step of Insanity' that I gave her?
In this round, it depends on who has a better mentality between her and Xiao Mengxi.

Two hours later, the sky turned pale.
Although it was still abnormally cold, it was a rare sunny day. The blazing golden crow slowly rose in the sky, dyeing the earth with a golden glow.
At this moment, Princess Guining's mansion was extremely lively.
The snow was cleared away, and pots of colorful flowers and plants were placed all over the garden. Luxurious and beautiful gold and jade ornaments could be seen everywhere. Everywhere you looked, you could see the bustling scene of Xuanhua.
The guards and maids of the princess's mansion were in a hurry, all dressed in new clothes and neatly dressed.
What was different from ordinary weddings was that although the princess's mansion had many servants, there were no guests.
Therefore, this luxurious and festive mansion, even with the sound of gongs and drums, still appears a bit weird.
Xiao Mengxi sat in front of the dressing mirror and was helped by a maid to do her makeup.
She opened her mouth and yawned, obviously she didn't usually get up so early.
She asked her confidant Bihe: "Is Rui'er up?"
"I just asked, and I have already helped the prince wash and change his clothes."
Xiao Mengxi sighed: "Let Jinxiu keep an eye on him and coax him well, don't let Rui'er cause any trouble, at least this marriage should be completed smoothly."
Xiao Mengxi just felt that this could be considered as an explanation to her husband who died early.
As long as Shen Shuyi can give birth to a baby boy safely, she can take a step back on many things.
"Where's Shen Shuyi?" Xiao Mengxi asked.
Bi He responded, "At the end of the hour of the first lunar month, the maids went to help Miss Shen dress and change her clothes. Now everything is ready. There is nothing unusual for the time being."
Xiao Mengxi raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Didn't she do anything fancy?"
Originally, she was prepared to be woken up by the servants and tormented by them last night, but she didn't expect that she would be so obedient.
Bi He thought for a moment and spoke in a low voice: "Ms. Shen is a smart person. Now that she is infected with the Blood Shadow Powder, she knows that she will not live long if she runs away, so she will not do such a stupid thing."
Xiao Mengxi sneered: "Send someone to check again. I have been looking forward to it for so many years. Now Rui'er is finally getting married. I don't want anything to go wrong."
"Yes."
Now, on the other side.
Chun En Yuan.
Several maids woke up one after another, and realized that they had fallen asleep without knowing when. They were all frightened and broke out in cold sweats.
"Not good!" One person came to his senses first and immediately began to look for Shen Shuyi.
The other few people also rubbed their eyes and got up from the ground.
It was not until a few breaths later that they saw a figure sitting motionless on the bed with a veil on her head, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was so scared, I thought the person was missing..." A maid breathed a sigh of relief and broke out in a cold sweat in the heated room.
"Fortunately, no one is hurt, otherwise the princess would have skinned us alive."
The leader frowned and said, "Be alert, don't cause any more trouble."
"But how come all of us fell asleep for no reason?"
Having said this, the maids' eyes fell on Shen Shuyi who was sleeping on the bed.
Several people looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy.
"No, don't let your imagination run wild. Not to mention that the Princess's Mansion is heavily guarded, the Chun'en Courtyard is surrounded tightly. Unless the Princess of Changning has wings, she will never be able to fly out..."
"Yes, not to mention that Princess Changning is poisoned. If she escapes, she will die."
Although they said this, the youngest one was obviously skeptical.
She looked at the bride's hands, and they seemed not as delicate and smooth as before...
"Let's confirm it to avoid any mistakes." The oldest maid spoke immediately.
After she finished speaking, she walked forward and tried to lift a corner of the veil with her fingers, but at this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside.
The people sent by Aunt Bihe came over.
"Yang Tao, is the county lady ready?" As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Yang Tao's movements and said, "What are you doing? You can't just lift up the veil!"
