Chapter 116 Six Flowers Fly 12

"Brother, I'm in a hurry——"

Huo Qinghong suddenly stood up and looked at Huo Weilou pitifully. Huo Weilou frowned and waved his hand, his eyes still falling on Sun Zhao. Huo Qinghong's face relaxed, and he held the brocade box in his hand and looked out. Walk.

Eunuch Fu came to the door and said, "Your Majesty——"

Huo Qinghong waved his hand, "Father-in-law, don't worry about me, I have a stomachache."

Huo Qinghong ran away in a flash. Eunuch Fu knew that he was used to his wantonness, so he shook his head and ignored him. But as soon as he turned around, he saw Bo Ruoyou walking in front of him. Bo Ruoyou looked at Huo Qing with some worry. Hong left in the direction, "Father-in-law, do you want to follow me and have a look?"

Eunuch Fu said with a smile: "Your Majesty is not a child anymore, it will be fine."

Huo Qinghong's unbearable look was still in front of his eyes, and Bo Ruoyou shook his head and said: "Eunuch, you'd better go and have a look. Just now I saw the prince's expression of discomfort. I'm afraid it's not as simple as internal anxiety. ”

Her expression was solemn, and Eunuch Fu looked suspicious. He glanced at the direction Huo Qinghong left and hurriedly followed him. Bo Ruoyou's brows and eyes were full of worry, and she just hoped that it was not what she had guessed.

When she turned around, Huo Weilou looked at her, "What?"

"Seeing that the prince was feeling unwell, he asked his father-in-law to go and have a look."

Huo Weilou frowned slightly and did not ask any more questions for the time being. He continued to say to Sun Zhao: "Let's not talk about anything else. Your yamen will have a harder time today. Let's go and investigate first. It's just a few people. If this thing is really spread, It is extremely widespread and there are many people who are deeply poisoned, so the matter is much more serious than we thought."

Sun Zhao stood up quickly, "Okay, if that's the case, then I'll go back to the Yamen to mobilize manpower."

Huo Weilou responded, and Sun Zhao just left.

Huo Weilou stood up and walked to the door. He frowned and looked at the courtyard door. There was a clean room in the main courtyard, but Huo Qinghong just walked out of the main courtyard. He frowned, and for some reason he felt something in his heart. Uneasiness comes.

After standing for a while, Huo Weilou couldn't help but walk out. As soon as he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he saw Eunuch Fu walking towards them quickly with an anxious look on his face, "Master Hou, go and take a look." , there is something wrong with the crown prince."

Huo Weilou frowned, "What is he doing?"

Eunuch Fu said quickly: "The prince is not in a hurry. He went to the guest house and is currently... lighting the things he brought..."

Huo Weilou's eyes suddenly changed, and he immediately followed Eunuch Fu to the guest courtyard not far away. The guest courtyard here is always there, and it was originally the place where Huo Qinghong came to rest in the Hou Mansion. Huo Weilou had just walked outside the main entrance. He smelled a faint sweet smell, his face turned cold, and he stepped inside. As soon as he entered the Nuan Pavilion, he saw Huo Qinghong lying on the couch.

The brocade box was opened, and he was holding a thin copper sheet in his hand. There was gold paste on the copper sheet, and he lit a lamp, and he was using the flame on the lamp to smoke the copper sheet. , the golden paste emitted wisps of smoke when heated, and he sniffed the smoke as if fascinated.

"Huo Qinghong!" Huo Weilou shouted, strode forward, and before Huo Qinghong could react, he snatched the copper piece from his hand and threw it to the ground with a thud. !

Huo Qinghong had a drunken look on his face, but his hand suddenly became empty. He slowly raised his eyes and looked for a moment before he recognized the person. The person he saw was Huo Weilou. A trace of fear finally appeared on his face, but he could not bear it. He couldn't help but stretched out his trembling hands to touch the brocade box again, "Brother... I... it's the last time, I feel uncomfortable..."

Huo Weilou picked up the brocade box and handed it to Eunuch Fu, and then said with a cold look in his eyes: "Didn't you say you haven't used gold ointment in the past few days?"

Huo Weilou still wanted to accuse Huo Qinghong, but he had no energy to listen to him. His eyes followed the brocade box in Eunuch Fu's hand, and he was too busy to get off the couch, trying to take the brocade box back. Upon seeing this, Huo Weilou grasped his arm and pushed him to the couch, "You answer first!"

Huo Qinghong had cold sweat on his forehead and his face was pale. His eyes were glued to the brocade box. Even though Huo Weilou was angry, he still couldn't hear clearly what Huo Weilou was asking. His face was impatient, even I want to grab the brocade box in front of Huo Weilou.

"I...I feel uncomfortable, brother, let me smell it first..."

He stood up again and walked straight towards Eunuch Fu. At this moment, Eunuch Fu saw that something was wrong. He stepped back and persuaded, "Your Majesty, what kind of good thing is this? Please listen first." God, don’t keep thinking about this stuff."

Huo Qinghong didn't care what he said at all. His outstretched hands trembled violently, and even his face began to twitch, "Father-in-law, give it to me...give it to me...I really feel uncomfortable..."

Seeing that he was so unable to control himself, Huo Weilou felt even more angry. He pulled Huo Weilou back again, "Stop it. I told you that this thing is poisonous and you should never touch it again." You can’t understand what I’m saying?”

Huo Qinghong was shaking non-stop, with large drops of cold sweat falling down. Because he was constantly blocked by Huo Weilou, the ends of his eyes began to turn red. His breathing was short but rapid, as if he would be unable to breathe in the next moment. "Brother, I know... I really know, the last time you let me touch you, I feel so uncomfortable, I really feel so uncomfortable, brother..."

Huo Qinghong's tone was pleading, and she held onto Huo Weilou's hand. Seeing that he remained silent, she became even more anxious to cry. Although Huo Qinghong has been blamed by him many times over the years, she has not yet... At this pitiful moment, Huo Weilou paused in his scolding, and felt a trace of intolerance in his heart. He stood still and allowed Huo Qinghong to grab him.

"Are you addicted? As long as you don't touch this thing, you feel uncomfortable?"

Tears welled up in the corners of Huo Qinghong's eyes, and her voice became hoarse, "Brother, I feel really uncomfortable, as if a hundred ants are eating my heart. You let me touch you one last time. As long as it's the last time, I'll never touch you again." , okay big brother, please big brother..."

Huo Qinghong begged, and Bo Ruoyou and Eunuch Fu who were watching were shocked. Although Bo Ruoyou had seen Hu Changqing and Han Ming, he had never seen a person go from being sober to becoming poisonous. What does it look like, and the word "addiction" that Huo Weilou just said seems to reveal the true meaning of this poison. This poison is not only a poison, but more terrifying is that it can be addictive, just like a gambler who has a gambling addiction, and an alcoholic who has a gambling addiction. Once you become addicted to alcohol, it will be a hundred times more uncomfortable. But compared to those, this drug is even more poisonous. It seems to be able to control the body and mind of the addict, making it completely difficult for him to lose control...

"Brother, please, let me touch you again, for the last time..."

Seeing that Huo Weilou remained silent, Huo Qinghong suddenly knelt down. Tears streamed down from the corner of his eyes, forcing him to cry bitterly. He held Huo Weilou with one hand and tried hard to hit himself with the other hand. His heart felt as if there were really hundreds of ants biting his heart. Seeing his pitiful appearance, Eunuch Fu couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Master Marquis, why don't you just give the prince a chance? Whatever you want to ask, you have to wait for the prince." I asked when I felt better. If this continues, I'm afraid something will happen to the prince."

Huo Weilou's expression was extremely cold and stern, but Huo Qinghong seemed to be unable to support him. He was crying and collapsed on the ground. His eyes changed several times, and finally he couldn't bear to look away, "Give it to him."

Eunuch Fu immediately stepped forward. He wanted to help Huo Qinghong up first, but he didn't expect that Huo Qinghong couldn't get up. He was still lying on the ground and grabbed the brocade box in his hand. He climbed a few steps and picked it up from the ground. When he poured out the gold paste from the jade bottle, a lot of it even spilled out because of his unsteady hands. He looked at the spilled gold paste with a distressed look on his face, but ignored other things and climbed onto the couch. Go to the candle.

When the white smoke came out, he hurriedly came closer and inhaled vigorously into his nostrils. He inhaled five or six times in a row. Only then did the pain on his face fade away. He exhaled contentedly and lay half down. On the table, like a child with no intention to speak, he held the copper piece tightly and sucked it for a while, with a confused and silly smile on his face.

Huo Weilou had just seen this scene at the Han family a moment ago. He never expected that his worries would become a reality. His handsome face was cold, and the look he looked at Huo Qinghong was even more terrifying. But in the past, he was Huo Qinghong, who was frightened by his look, was completely unaware of his surroundings at this moment. He was greedily inhaling the smoke, and smelling the smell made Huo Weilou feel a little inexplicable anxiety in his heart.

He turned around and left the Nuan Pavilion.

Eunuch Fu was worried and stayed with Huo Qinghong to take care of him. Bo Ruoyou followed Huo Weilou and walked out. His earlier comfort was of no use at this moment, because everyone could see that Huo Qinghong was already deeply poisoned. .

Huo Weilou called the attendants of the Hou Mansion and ordered: "Call Ming Guilan, and then go to the palace to ask for the imperial doctor."

The attendant left in response. Huo Weilou clenched his fingers tightly, with a rather cold look on his face. Bo Ruoyou stood beside him and said softly: "Master Hou, please calm down. Everything in the world is always in conflict with each other. It’s not a fatal poison, there is always a way to eliminate it, but His Highness will have to suffer a little.”

At this point, she said softly: "What the Marquis just said is absolutely true. I had never thought before that the most terrible thing about this poison is not that it is hallucinogenic and crazy when consumed, but that it is addictive. The Han brothers were like this, and so was Hu Wu Zuo. Because they couldn't live without this thing, they kept spending gold and silver on it. When I went to Hu Wu Zuo's house in the morning, he had already sold off all the valuable things in his home."

When Huo Weilou heard what she said, the heaviness in his heart relaxed a little, but he still felt furious. When he saw Han Ming earlier, he thought such poison was terrifying, but now he saw Huo Qinghong look like this with his own eyes. He felt like a sword was beating his heart, and he said coldly: "It's addictive, and the price is comparable to gold. It's really a profitable business."

The report from the Yamen was yet to come, but he seemed to have seen that this lucrative business would bring down the capital and even the entire Zhou Dynasty, and he couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart.

He turned and looked into the room, "If I let him touch that poison again this time, there will be a next time."

Huo Weilou had expected that there would be no last time as Huo Qinghong said, "He has a wanton temper, and I don't have much control over him. But since he was young, as long as I get angry with him, he will restrain himself. But now even my words have no effect. If I had known this, I should have been more strict with him, and he would not have been contaminated by this."

Huo Weilou spoke in a low voice, with a deep sense of self-blame. Bo Ruoyou had never seen him like this before, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and stood in front of him, "This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Hou. It's still early to find out now." Yes, it’s just that we don’t know much about this poison now, so we don’t have a clue yet. When we know how to become addicted to this substance, there will always be a way to stop the addiction.”

Her eyes were particularly concerned. Huo Weilou looked at her for a moment, his eyebrows finally relaxed a little, and Bo Ruoyou said again: "Young Master Ming, as well as many imperial doctors, will definitely be able to help."

Huo Weilou sighed, "I only hope so."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows. Because the sweet smell in the room wafted out, he felt a little uncontrollable irritability in his heart. Bo Ruoyou saw that he seemed to be feeling unwell and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong, Lord Marquis?" Already?"

Huo Weilou put down his hand, looked into her worried eyes, hesitated for a moment and said: "I have used the gold ointment he sent last time."

"What?" Bao Ruoyou's expression changed, and she couldn't help but hold Huo Weilou's hand. Her fingertips fell on his pulse gate, wanting to ask for his pulse, but Huo Weilou held her back with his hand. He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm fine."

Seeing that she was tense as if facing a powerful enemy, and did not believe what he said, he said: "I used this thing that day, and I only felt that it could refresh me. I also wanted to know what it was that made him praise it in many ways. , after using that thing, I did feel a lot more energetic immediately, but I felt weird. At that time, I also had the idea of ​​using this thing every day in the future. This thought made me vigilant, but I didn’t think too much about it at that time. , I just felt that it was too beautiful and illusory, and it would harm many people, so I only used it that once."

"On what day did Mr. Hou use it? Did you feel any discomfort afterwards?"

"Just two days ago, I was not addicted. This shows that this product is not addictive at one time. It was just the sweet and greasy taste that made me feel a little confused."

Bao Ruoyou said worriedly: "That's because this thing is weirdly toxic. Even though one poisoning is not serious, it will definitely be harmful to the body. Mr. Hou must not touch this thing again in the future."

Huo Weilou naturally responded, and felt cold sweat on her palms, so he couldn't help but comfort her, "Don't worry, even if these things are brought to me, I have a sense of proportion. I don't like addictive things."

Bao Ruoyou couldn't help but look resentful, "What the Marquis said just now was really scary. If the Marquis is also poisoned, I really don't know what to do."

"How could it be?" He could see her nervousness in his eyes. In such a situation, he might not care about the comfort and concern of others, but she was different. His angry heart calmed down a little, and he went away again. See how Huo Qinghong is doing inside the house.

Huo Qinghong's head was slumped on the couch, his face still full of satisfaction, and the gold paste on the copper sheet had been dried, and the smoke was gone. When Huo Weilou saw him like this, Shu Zhang's brows couldn't help but wrinkle again, and he stepped forward to look at him condescendingly.

Huo Qinghong just started to wake up when he saw Huo Weilou standing in front of him. He was stunned for a moment and recalled what happened a moment ago. His expression changed several times. He got up and then shrank to the corner of the couch.

"Big...brother..."

Huo Qinghong was extremely frightened, and his eyes were full of panic. Huo Weilou looked at him for a moment, then sat down, put away the brocade box and handed it to Eunuch Fu, "You said it yourself, this is the last time. ”

This statement immediately made Huo Qinghong's face turn as white as a sheet of paper, but how could he dare to argue at this time? Huo Weilou had enough time to look at him, "Tell me, when did you start using this thing? How many times did you start to feel that you can't live without it?" What happened to your body? I see you have lost weight, so I guess you are not as normal as you said."

Huo Qinghong knew that this matter could no longer be concealed, and that this thing was poisonous and the matter might be very serious this time, so he replied in a low voice: "I got this thing a month ago, when I tried it for the first time. I was with Feng Ye and others in a village outside the city, and I felt like I was going to heaven after using this thing. Later I took the thing back, and I didn't use it every day at first, but after two days I used it again. When I thought about it, I used it again. At that time, I felt that since I have such a good thing, why not enjoy it every day?"

"Now that I think about it, something started to go wrong after using it about ten times. One day I went out without this thing with me, but suddenly I was thinking about it. My heartbeat was pounding, my hands were shaking, and I was sweating. I just thought it was because I neglected to practice martial arts and was very tired, so I went home and used this product. After using this product, I immediately felt that the uncomfortable feeling was gone. At that time, I was still thinking, this product is indeed It’s a divine thing, and it can actually have immediate effects.”

"I didn't go out often after that, but I felt sleepy and tight every day. But the strange thing is, even if I smell the smell of this thing, I feel like I am alive again, and I feel This thing is powerful. At that time, I thought that this thing would be very useful to my eldest brother, so I sent this thing over. I can't explain other changes. It is that people are easily sleepy and weak, and they are also a little restless and irritable. But every day I Everyone can use this product, and I don’t even feel the discomfort..."

“It’s just that I have been using it more and more frequently in the past two days, and I feel something is not right in my heart. But thinking about the ecstasy that this product brings, I feel that using it more frequently is nothing, at most Just use more gold and silver."

As he spoke, he said aggrievedly: "I didn't know this thing was poisonous. If I knew, I would definitely come to the Hou Mansion and tell my elder brother. I didn't think so much. Drinking too much wine is not good, but my father I just like drinking. I think I may really like this thing too much recently, but maybe it will fade away after I get over it——"

"Then you know now? A drinker will never think of becoming abnormal without drinking. Just now you burst into tears and knelt down to beg me. Do you still remember?" Huo Weilou stared at him like a sword. .

Huo Qinghong shrank back a little, his face turned white and red for a while, obviously he still remembered it, but he also seemed to remember the uncomfortable feeling, and the ends of his eyes turned red for a while and said: "But brother, I really feel uncomfortable. I was so uncomfortable that I almost died. Are you serious about not allowing me to use it again? I don’t know when I will feel uncomfortable next time, but I don’t want to experience it anymore. Brother, please find someone to detoxify me. No, I don’t want to look like that!”

Although Huo Qinghong is a dissolute person, he has been quite arrogant since he was a child. Now that he is sane, he naturally knows that the scene of kneeling down and crying is not good-looking, and the feeling of heart-breaking and bone-breaking , even more like a nightmare.

Huo Weilou saw that he had not yet arrived at the place where there is no distinction between right and wrong, and his voice was soft, "I have ordered people to invite Gui Lan to come over, and also asked people to come to the palace to ask for the imperial doctor. As long as you are obedient, I will naturally ask people to do it." You detoxify." He said for a moment, "It's just that the detoxification won't be that fast. Since I said it was the last time, the bento is really the last time. When I feel uncomfortable next time, I won't be soft-hearted again. You You have been wanton since you were a child, but this time, you have to hold it back."

Huo Qinghong's eyes were full of fear, and Huo Weilou said again: "Before you detoxify, you will live in the Marquis' Mansion. When will you detoxify, and then return to the Duke's Mansion? You also know that your father and mother are better than I want to be a hundred times softer. Do you, the majestic son of Huo Guogong, want to be controlled by that poison for the rest of your life?"

Huo Qinghong shook his head, "I don't want to, but..."

But he was also afraid, but facing Huo Weilou's serious expression, he did not dare to say that it would have been better if Huo Weilou had not scolded him for being infected with such a weird thing.

Huo Weilou then ordered Eunuch Fu, "Purchase some items here and send a few people to take care of him. He is not allowed to leave the Marquis Mansion without my order. If he is disobedient, he will be tied up."

Eunuch Fu was very distressed, but seeing how powerful the poison was, he immediately responded.

Huo Weilou looked at Huo Qinghong, "I didn't want to give it to you just now, but seeing that you couldn't listen to what I said, I gave you the last chance. Now that I have explained everything clearly, if you have a good heart, If it’s not strong, I can use any method.”

Huo Qinghong was frightened when he heard that. He glanced at the sinking sky outside and felt that the rest of his days would be dark. At this time, Ming Guilan arrived at the Hou Mansion.

Ming Guilan is considered one of his own. Huo Weilou informed Ming Guilan of the cause and effect of the incident. Ming Guilan was also greatly surprised, "This thing is so poisonous?"

Huo Weilou nodded, "I know you don't understand this thing, but now that Hong'er is like this, you need to use some methods to detoxify him."

Ming Guilan suddenly looked solemn. They talked for a while and then asked for pulse. Ming Guilan asked Huo Qinghong about his daily life. At the end, his expression was quite serious, and he obviously had no clue. Bo Ruoyou couldn't bear it. He kept asking for Huo Qinghong's pulse, but just looking at the pulse could not see any big abnormalities. Soon, the palace doctor also arrived.

Facing the imperial doctor, Huo Weilou did not say much. He simply explained the toxicity of the substance. The imperial doctor who came was surprised. After hearing and asking about it, he was also confused. The prescription he prescribed was also Seeing this, Huo Weilou had no choice but to order him to go home first.

At this time, the night has shrouded, and the entire Hou Mansion is brightly lit tonight. Huo Weilou is sitting in the Nuan Pavilion and said: "It seems that we have to see more patients. Just look at him. Everyone doesn't know how toxic it is. What's going on?"

If he wanted to know more about the patients, he could only wait for the Yamen to report. Bo Ruoyou was also worried that this incident was not a trivial matter, so he stayed temporarily. When he was about to arrive, Sun Zhaofang hurried to the Hou Mansion.

He held a roster in his hand and reported as soon as he sat down: "Master Marquis, what is recorded here is only the places selling gold ointment in the east of the city. We haven't had time to investigate in the west of the city. The officials will meet tonight. We will stay up all night and we will have clues tomorrow. In addition, we have also asked more than a dozen families who purchased this product. Tomorrow we can go to their homes one by one to check whether they have been poisoned."

Sun Zhao wiped his sweat after saying, "Although I haven't come to the door yet, I already feel that something is not good, because they have sold a lot of gold ointment, and they started selling it after the new year. Now It’s already April, and in four months, the first wave of people buying gold ointment are probably already deeply poisoned.”

"Especially those who buy the most expensive gold ointment. The sellers say that this is the lowest quality thing. Most of it goes to brothels and is used as an aphrodisiac. This thing does not really aphrodisiac, it is just After smelling it, people's blood will surge up and it will be quite exciting. It can't help but have some stimulating effects. The better ones have some hallucinogenic effects. The best ones are even better. Most stores that sell them also use them. Although they find that they can't live without it after using it too much, they don't think it's inappropriate."

Huo Weilou's heart suddenly sank. This was the worst outcome they had expected. He pondered for a moment, then immediately ordered people to prepare the car, and then said to Sun Zhao: "You come with me to the palace, this matter You need to report it to Your Majesty."
