Mrs. Li was furious and asked Li Jia to buy a coffin.

Li Jia said with a grimace: "Madam, it's getting late now, this..."

Mrs. Li stamped her feet vigorously and strode outside.

Li Xin was a little panicked and asked quickly: "Madam, where are you going?"

Mrs. Li replied without looking back: "I will personally choose a good coffin for you."

Mrs. Li led a few people and went straight out of the door. Li Xin and a few servants were the only ones left at home.

The air suddenly became quiet, and everyone felt a little embarrassed.

Li Xin coughed dryly and said to Li Jia next to him: "Why don't you help me up quickly?"

Li Jia came to his senses and quickly helped Li Xin up.

Li Xin's legs were already numb, and he limped to the door, but Mrs. Li's figure had long since disappeared on the street.

Li Xin thought for a while, sighed and said: "If you buy it, you just buy it. People will die eventually, and they will be needed sooner or later anyway."

A group of servants in the back were all holding back their laughter.

Of course Mrs. Li is not really going to buy a coffin. She took a car to Chunyu Yue Mansion.

Chunyu Yue was a great scholar of the time, a doctor of Qin Dynasty, and Fusu's teacher.

Under the scary title, there is another identity, that is, Li Xin's brother-in-law.

It's just that he can't stand Li Xin's vulgarity of fighting and killing all day long. Every time I see Li Xin, I receive criticism and education.

Therefore, since Li Xin's sister passed away, Li Xin has not visited Chunyu Yue's house, and he just thinks that this brother-in-law is gone.

In the past, Mrs. Li would not have provoked Chun Yuyue, but now that Li Xin was in danger, Mrs. Li thought about it, and Chun Yuyue could only say a word or two in front of Ying Zheng.

So Mrs. Li bit the bullet and came.

The servant guarding the door was quite polite and let Mrs. Li in. But after entering, I waited in the front hall until dawn.

This kind of deliberate neglect made Mrs. Li furious, but today she had something to ask for, so she could only wait patiently.

After the rooster crowed three times, a servant finally came over and said respectfully: "Mrs. Li, my master has invited me."

Mrs. Li followed the servant to the back hall. When she looked up, she was almost angry to death.

Chunyu Yue was neatly dressed and was having breakfast. The key is that this breakfast is for one person and obviously not prepared for Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li gritted her teeth and saluted: "I have met my sister-in-law."

Chunyu Yue said nothing.

Mrs. Li said abruptly again: "I have met my sister-in-law."

Chunyu Yue remained silent.

Mrs. Li raised her voice and shouted: "Sister-in-law!"

Chunyu Yue raised his eyes and glanced at her, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

A little maid next to her came over and whispered to Mrs. Li: "The Master said that you should eat and sleep without talking. Madam has something to do. Let's wait until my master has finished eating."

Mrs. Li wished she could turn around and leave on the spot. But thinking about Li Xin, I endured it again.

Chunyu Yue chewed slowly for half an hour, then wiped his mouth and said slowly: "I have heard about Li Xin and Huaiguzi."

Mrs. Li bowed and said, "Please sister-in-law, please save Li Xin's life."

Chunyu Yue stroked his beard and said with a distressed look, "I told you this when Li Ji was still alive. How could her brother be so simple and reckless? How could he succeed? Li Ji didn't believe it and even had a quarrel with me. Haha, didn’t you prove what I said today?”

"He, Li Xin, was defeated in the Chu Kingdom. After he came back, he should shut himself up and think about his mistakes to show his shame. But he wanted to compete with Wang Ben, Wang Li and his son."

"It's just a matter of arguing with Wang Li. I just thought it wasn't troublesome enough, so I recommended some locust millet. You don't talk about the strange power and the gods, doesn't Li Xin understand this? Refining elixirs, hum, it's ridiculous."

"It's just a matter of recommending Huaiguzi. If Huaiguzi does something bad, Li Xin can at best be regarded as someone who doesn't know people well. It's not bad for him to actually use his wealth and life to guarantee Huaiguzi."

"If it's something else, it's just a temporary guarantee. But what he's guaranteeing is to cure the gangrene disease. This is a terminal illness. Isn't this asking for death?"

Mrs. Li never spoke. She finally understood why Li Xin refused to see Chunyu Yue.

This guy is so good at teaching others that it's outrageous. From the moment we met until now, let alone whether we are willing to help or not, let me first give you some criticism and education.

Mrs. Li waited patiently for a long time, and Chun Yuyue finally sighed: "That's all, Li Xin is Li Ji's brother after all. As my sister-in-law, how can I ignore it?"

Mrs. Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her.

Chunyu Yue waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty likes the Legalist theory of punishment, but I am an orthodox Confucianist. Although I am a doctor of Da Qin, I don't have much power. At most, I can only save Li Xin's life. .”

"After today, Li Xin will be disbanded and return to his fields. He will retire and return to his hometown. He will live out his life as a wealthy man in peace and stability."

Mrs. Li felt a little disappointed, but then she thought about it, it would be good if she could save her life. So he thanked Chunyu Yue again.

Chunyu Yue was not polite and said calmly: "Please come back. I am going to court. There will be a meeting today."

Mrs. Li couldn't wait to leave.

Chunyu Yue put on his court clothes and said to himself: "If everyone were like this old man, with benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust, how could there be so many bad things? Everyone in the world lacks education."

…………

It was almost dawn, and all the officials went to court one after another. In Ying Fuyao's room. Li Shui yawned hard. He had stayed up all night.

Fu Yao hasn't woken up yet, but he doesn't have a fever. So far, his condition is pretty good and no infection has occurred.

According to Li Shui's estimation, he would probably be able to recover by daybreak.

It's just a skin injury, not bedridden.

His eyes glanced outside and saw Lu Lie poking his head outside the yard.

This night, not only did he not sleep, but Lu Lie didn't sleep either, and he kept sneaking around outside.

Li Shui said to Ji Ming next to him: "Actually, I am kind-hearted and cannot bear to kill people."

Ji Ming grinned and could only think that Li Shui was speaking sarcastically.

Li Shui sighed again and said: "Although Lu Lie deserved his death, I can't bear to have him cut in half just because of a bet. How about giving him a chance?"

Ji Ming's heart beat: "Give me a chance? How to give me a chance? Do you want Young Master Fu Yao to remain in a coma? This way you, Li Shui, don't have to die, and Lu Lie doesn't have to die either."

Ji Ming felt that Li Shui could really do such a treasonous thing. After these few days of contact, he has clearly seen that Li Shui is a complete lunatic, and his actions cannot be measured by common sense.

Ji Ming's only thought now is that he hopes to leave this person and not be implicated.

Just when Ji Ming was in a state of confusion, Lu Lie, who was standing outside the yard, was also in a state of confusion.

Two hours have passed since Li Shui's treatment. Mr. Fu Yao remained silent.

Lu Lie sighed and thought evilly: "Fu Yao, why don't you die? Once he dies, I can rest assured."

As time passed, a terrible thought suddenly came to his mind: "Fu Yao, what should I do if he is cured? Will he wake up after a while?"

Lu Lie has gone through a lot of medical research these days. It was found that there was indeed a case of gangrene that survived.

According to medical records, after the sores burst, they are often followed by high fever that does not go away, ignorance of personnel, and lack of water and rice.

Most people lie down for three to five days and then die of high fever, never opening their eyes until death.

However, there is one person in the record who has always been strong and healthy. He survived until his fever subsided. But after waking up, his originally strong body was tortured to become skinny and weak.

Of course, such examples are only recorded, and whether they are true or not remains to be verified. No one has ever seen a real case.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that ulcers are a terminal disease.

Thinking of this, Lu Lie comforted himself: "It's impossible. Fu Yao is only ten years old and his body is weak. It's impossible to survive. He's doing pretty well until now."

At this moment, Li Shui's surprised shout suddenly came from inside the room: "Wake up, wake up. Master Fu Yao is awake. Go and report to the king. What? Master said you are hungry? Hurry, go and prepare soup." "

So the two little eunuchs Xiaoyi and Wujiao ran out.

Wujiao went towards Yingzheng's palace, while Xiaoyi walked towards the fire room.

Lu Lie stood against the wall, his body shaking like a sieve: "Are you awake? You're actually awake. Not only are you awake, but you're also complaining that you're hungry. This is obviously cured."

"Fu Yao wakes up, and I'm going to die. How cruel is that punishment of being cut in half?"

Lu Lie touched his waist, his legs softened, and he sat down on the ground.

"I don't want to die, I can't die. I'm going to visit the Immortal Mountain. I want to get the elixir and I can become a god. I can't die." Lu Lie was sweating profusely on his head, his eyes were red, and his whole body was a little... Crazy.

Suddenly, Lu Lie remembered something: the red letter stone.

This is something I discovered when I was searching for immortals in the East. This substance is colorless and odorless, but highly poisonous. Grind it into powder and quickly dissolve it in soup.

As it happens, Lu Lie has a little bit of that.

If...if Fu Yao was poisoned, he would be poisoned to death. Then the King of Qin would be furious and would kill Huaiguzi immediately.

Everyone thought that Fu Yao died of gangrene at the hands of the quack doctor Huai Guzi. No one would think of red letter stone.

"If Fu Yao doesn't die, I will die." Lu Lie gritted his teeth and quickly walked towards his residence.

After dozens of breaths, Lu Lie sneaked into the fire room.

Xiao Yi was urging several women to make soup. While urging, he complained: "Young master has woken up and needs soup immediately. Why don't you prepare it in advance?"

The women also complained: "Who knew the young master would wake up so soon."

Lu Lie took advantage of others' unpreparedness and sprinkled the powder of red letter stone into the soup. Then he pretended to come to the fire house to look for food, took two pieces of meat and left.

After going out, Lu Lie hid in a corner and stared at the fire room.

After a while, Xiao Yi came out carrying an earthen pot. Yes, it was the jar that he had been drugged into.

Xiao Yi walked hurriedly, carrying the earthen pot into Fu Yao's courtyard.

Lu Lie didn't dare to show his face, he just stood outside the courtyard, his ears pressed firmly against the courtyard wall, listening to what was going on inside.

"Oh my god, he's dead, he's really dead." Suddenly, Ji Ming's scream came from inside.

Lu Lie's eyes lit up and a proud smile appeared on his lips.

Then came Li Shui's voice: "The soup is poisonous."

Then came Xiao Yi's panicked voice: "It's not me, it's not me. Give me ten courages, and I won't dare to poison you."

Li Shui asked: "Has anyone ever tasted soup?"

Xiao Yi said in a panic: "The slaves touched it, and the two cooks in the fire room touched it. By the way, Mr. Lu just went in to look for food."

Lu Lie sneered when he heard this: "Huai Guzi, you are about to die, but you still have the heart to solve the case? After a while, the king came full of joy, but saw that his beloved son was dead. How could you argue in anger? ?”

When Lu Lie thought of this, he felt a little puzzled: "Wu Jiao has been away for a while, so it's time to invite the king, right?"

When he turned around, he was startled to see Wujiao standing behind him.

Wujiao smiled at him and said, "I didn't go to find the king, and Mr. Fu Yao didn't wake up either. It was Master Huai who ordered me to do this."

Then Wujiao grabbed Lu Lie's clothes and pushed him into the yard.

Lu Lie took a closer look and his heart suddenly sank.

Li Shui and Ji Ming were all standing in the yard. At their feet, an earthen pot was thrown to the ground, and next to it, there was a dead rabbit.

Li Shui looked at Lu Lie and said with emotion: "Brother Lu, this rabbit has no enmity against you, why did you poison it? You are so cruel."
