The enchanting queen of the three realms

Chapter 53

Taking advantage of the dead of night, Qing Zhu and Su Ji sneaked into the tomb forest.

Qing Zhu and Su Ji came to the cemetery, and saw the tombstones erected in front of them, and the air was filled with the breath of death.The crow screamed from time to time, which made people creepy.

Su Ji asked the Empress Qing beside her, "Are you afraid, Empress Qing?"

Qingzhu shook her head and said, "Not afraid, are you afraid?"

Su Ji sneered, "There is nothing in this world that Su Ji is afraid of."

Qingzhu patted Su Ji on the shoulder, and said with great interest, "Master Su's character is not like that of an ordinary woman, but like a man. It's not easy to be so brave and not afraid."

Su Ji looked at Empress Qing, and said with great interest in Empress Qing, "Empress Qing is not like an ordinary woman, and her martial arts skills, so brave and not afraid, are also not easy."

"Hehe." Qing Zhu and Su Ji looked at each other and smiled.It doesn't seem simple.

The two began to search for Su Gonggong's tomb separately.

Soon Su Ji found Su Gonggong's tombstone, and shouted to Queen Qing who was not far behind, "Queen Qing, I found it, come quickly."

Qing Zhu ran over immediately upon hearing the sound, came to Su Gonggong's tomb, and looked at the tombstone. On it was written four large characters "Tomb of Su Zhen".Qingzhu asked with some doubts, "Master Su, how do you know that this is the tomb of Duke Su?"

Su Ji looked at the tombstone and said, "You can't be wrong. This is the tomb of Duke Su. Look, isn't there the word Su Zhen written on it? In the past, Duke Su was called Xiao Suzi. Later, the emperor liked Su Gonggong very much." Frank and sincere, so I gave Su Eunuch a real character, Su Eunuch has a full name, called Su Zhen, eunuchs generally do not have a name, only a title, like a small stool, a small chair, etc. This is the old man. The rules set by the ancestors are to warn eunuchs that even if they serve the royal family, they should not forget that they are just slaves. At the same time, they are also warning eunuchs not to have any relationship with court officials. No matter how powerful the eunuch is, he is still a slave. In the hands of the master."

Qing Zhu said with some sympathy, "The eunuch has lost the ability to pass on the family name, and even his own surname has to be deprived. It's really pitiful."

Su Ji looked at Empress Qing, and said inexplicably, "Poor? Who is not pitiful in this deep palace? Haven't you heard of it? The palace is a golden cage with a knife. As long as you don't take a good step, it doesn't matter how you die." have no idea."

Qing Zhu nodded in sympathy and said, "Yes."

Su Ji squatted down, took out the shovel she had prepared, and started shoveling soil towards Eunuch Su's grave.

Qingzhu also took off the shovel that was carried behind her back, and started shoveling the soil together with Su Ji.

After a long time, Qing Zhu and Su Ji sat on the ground sweating profusely.

Su Ji wiped the sweat off her face and said, "I finally dug out this coffin, but I'm exhausted."

Qing Zhu also wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Yeah, physical work is really tiring." You don't have to work as hard as you do now, shoveling the soil bit by bit. It's really tiring to be a human being, but it's more relaxing to be a demon.

After resting for a while, Qing Zhu and Su Ji lifted the lid of the coffin with a shovel. As soon as the coffin was lifted, a pungent corpse smell came over the face.

"Wow, how long has Eunuch Su been dead? This smell is too bad." Su Ji quickly covered her nose and turned her head to the other side.

Qingzhu waved the air in front of him with his hands, hoping that the pungent smell would dissipate soon.Qing Zhu looked at the corpse in the coffin, and said in surprise, "Master Su, look quickly, Mr. Su."

Su Ji covered her nose, and desperately waved her hands around her. The smell was so disgusting that she felt like vomiting.Su Ji said to Empress Qing, "What's the matter, Eunuch Su? Tell me, Empress Qing."

"You, you, see for yourself." Qing Zhu said to Su Ji.

While looking into the coffin, Su Ji said to Empress Qing, "What's the matter? Wow." When Su Ji saw it, she was shocked. Is this really a corpse that had just died a few months ago?How could there be so much moss growing on this corpse?What about meat?Doesn't this person have meat?Normally, it would take several years for the flesh of a dead person to rot completely, but why, in just a few months, the flesh would disappear without a trace?Just leave this empty skeleton?And why is there so much moss growing on this bone?It's unheard of
Qing Zhu asked Su Ji curiously, "Master Su has seen such a corpse?"

Su Ji shook her head and said, "I've never seen it before, but one thing is certain. Eunuch Su was indeed poisoned by a rare poison. Eunuch Su's flesh has completely rotted away, and the bones are covered with moss. According to common sense, Speaking of which, there shouldn’t be any smell of corpses, but the smell of corpses is still very strong and mixed with a strange smell.” Su Ji was talking endlessly, and when she saw Queen Qing, she was even more surprised, pointing to Qing Empress. The queen stammered and said, "Qingqing. Queen Qing, what are you doing?"

At this time, Qingzhu was holding the moss on Su Gonggong's skull, put it into his mouth and started to eat. Qingzhu said while eating, "I'm trying to taste where this moss came from." Before Qingzhu became a human, it was bamboo, and so was bamboo. A kind of plant, so Qingzhu knows that the growth environment of plants is different, the soil and water absorbed will affect the growth of vegetation, so the size, appearance and type of plants will be different, and there will be flowers in this world and green grass.

Su Ji cast her eyes on the ground in admiration, and said to Empress Qing, "Empress Qing can tell where the vegetation comes from by the taste of the vegetation. It's amazing. I don't know where Empress Qing came from?"

While chewing the moss in his mouth, Qingzhu said, "I am self-taught."

"Your Majesty, I really admire you. Please accept me as an apprentice, Empress Qing! You can also teach me this method." Su Ji has always been eager to learn, and she is particularly interested in Empress Qing's ability, and she really wants to learn it.

Qingzhu spit out the moss in his mouth on the ground, looked at Su Ji and said, "You can't learn this, hehe, I already know the origin of this moss, this moss is from the Western Regions, so it can be seen that this poison must contain this poison." Moss ingredients, that's why there are so many mosses growing on Su Gonggong's bones."

Su Ji thought for a while and said, "Western Region? The Western Region is so far away from here, how is it possible? Who would go so far to get this poison? Kill Eunuch Su deliberately?"

Qingzhu also felt very strange, Qingzhu suddenly remembered that when he was an imperial doctor in the imperial pharmacy, there were medicinal materials from the Western Regions there, and the medicinal materials in this tribute were all tonics, how could there be poison?Qingzhu said to Su Ji, "I used to stay in the imperial pharmacy for a while, and there were medicines from the Western Regions there, but most of the medicines in this imperial pharmacy are tonics, and they must have nothing to do with this poison."

Su Ji reminded, "Empress Qing, everything in this world has two sides, not to mention this medicine? This medicine can cure diseases or poison people, so there are poisons and antidotes. It's like ginseng. Who doesn't say that ginseng is The king of supplements? But if a person with a cold drinks ginseng, it can kill him."

Qingzhu felt that Su Ji's words were very reasonable. At this moment, Qingzhu suddenly saw a small black flower on a rib in the heart of the corpse. It was only as big as the cover of a little finger. Hard to see in the dark night.Qing Zhu stretched out his hand and wanted to pick off the black flower, but no matter how hard he tried to pick it off, he couldn't get it off.

Su Ji saw that Empress Qing seemed to be holding something, which seemed difficult to hold, Su Ji asked, "Empress Qing, did you find something?"

Qingzhu said, "Well, there is a black flower on a rib under the original heart, which cannot be picked off."

Su Ji was taken aback, and asked, "Why can't you pick it off? You can pick it off from plants?"

Qingzhu spent a lot of effort, but finally gave up the idea of ​​picking the black flower. Qingzhu said, "This is not an ordinary flower, it is a poisonous bone flower. The poison must contain substances that are beneficial to the continuation of life, otherwise why? The moss on the bones is so green and lush, even the bones have blossomed due to the mutation of this substance."

Su Ji and Qingzhu were silent again and began to think.Then came an answer.At the same time, he said, "It seems that this poison must have come from the imperial pharmacy."
