The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#629 - Buble

Qi Wenren also reacted after being reminded by Lu Jing. Reading M

"It seems that Bu Bule's change making Tong Qianxi fatter is really the biggest beneficiary, but if that's the case, shouldn't he marry Tong Qianxi as soon as possible? Why did he run away yesterday? Wait, I understand..."

"He deliberately staged this scene to eliminate others' suspicion of him. Getting drunk in the wine cellar is the best proof, clearly wanting to be found. Otherwise, he should have been more cautious."

Qi Wenren felt that he had found the answer, so he excitedly said to Lu Jing, "Let's go find Bu Bule and ask him where that strange object is."

"Uh... isn't it a bit too early? Although your analysis, Lord Qi, is very reasonable, this is just our guess after all," Lu Jing said.

"It's not too early," Qi Wenren said, "Saving people is like putting out a fire. Finding that strange object sooner will prevent more people from being harmed."

Lu Jing heard this and didn't say anything more. He called Luo Yingying, who was beside him, and followed Qi Wenren out of the main hall.

They found the general guarding the palace and inquired about Bu Bule's whereabouts.

After Bu Bule was found in the wine cellar, he was sent directly here. The official story was that he was sobering up in the side hall, but in reality, he was under house arrest.

And as soon as he left, Lu Jing and the others arrived. Looking at Bu Bule on the chair, his eyes were blank, his body kept sliding down, and he needed someone to hold him up to sit still, Qi Wenren also felt a little embarrassed.

Luo Yingying tried to call Bu Bule a couple of times, but the latter's reaction was as if he was hearing a completely unfamiliar name. He didn't even blink.

Qi Wenren calmed himself down and said to Luo Yingying, "Ask the maids where the well in the palace is."

Lu Jing didn't expect Qi Wenren to be so unrestrained, and had to stop Luo Yingying, who was about to speak.

No matter what, Bu Bule was still Chief Tong Tu's son-in-law. Although Chief Tong Tu was very dissatisfied with him for running away from the marriage, it seemed that Chief Tong Tu still wanted to acknowledge this son-in-law.

Qi Wenren's well water was ostensibly splashed on Bu Bule, but in reality, it was splashed on Chief Tong Tu's face.

So Lu Jing could only step forward again and walked to Bu Bule's side.

He pretended to take out a piece of leaf from an unknown tree he had picked up by the roadside from the medicine box and waved it around Bu Bule's nose.

While everyone's attention was drawn to the leaf.

His other hand was pressed on Bu Bule's abdomen.

Lu Jing didn't have Duan Yu's skill of using internal force to force the alcohol out of the meridians. That thing was too mysterious. True Qi was one thing, but Lu Jing really couldn't figure out how the alcohol would travel through the meridians and blood vessels.

So he used the simplest method, directly using True Qi to stimulate Bu Bule's stomach and intestines, making the latter's stomach and intestines feel uncomfortable.

So, the next moment, after Lu Jing stepped back half a step, Bu Bule began to vomit wildly.

He vomited for a full quarter of an hour, feeling like he was about to vomit out all his stomach acid.

Because it was the first time Lu Jing had done something like this, he didn't quite get the strength right. He was worried that it wouldn't have much effect, so he used a little too much force. It was possible that Bu Bule had even suffered internal injuries from this.

But in the eyes of outsiders, they would only see the magic of the herb in Lu Jing's hand, which successfully induced Bu Bule to vomit after being waved under his nose.

After this burst of vomiting, Bu Bule finally regained some of his senses.

Seeing where he was now, his expression changed drastically. He couldn't care less about the colic in his abdomen and struggled to get up and run out. The four maids beside him couldn't hold him down.

In the end, Lu Jing lent a hand and brought Bu Bule back to the chair.

Bu Bule widened his eyes and stared at Lu Jing, "Who are you?!"

"Feng Jiulang, we are doctors who came to treat Chief Tong Tu's daughter," Lu Jing had Luo Yingying translate this to Bu Bule.

But the latter waved his hand to refuse, "I can understand."

Most of the Shen nobles in Shizhou can speak Chinese, and they often communicate with each other in Chinese when they meet on weekdays, so as to distinguish themselves from those ignorant fellow tribesmen.

Even the surname Tong was bestowed by Emperor Taizu of Da Chen, but now that Chief Tong Tu has the idea of independence, he has brought out the Shen clan's things again.

Qi Wenren nodded, "Then it will be much easier."

After a pause, he looked into Bu Bule's eyes and shouted, "We already know what you've done!"

Bu Bule was a little confused by what he said, "Isn't everyone in the city know about my running away from the marriage?"

"It's not about running away from the marriage," Qi Wenren glanced at the maids beside him, leaned close to Bu Bule's ear and lowered his voice, "I'm talking about your ambition."

Bu Bule was still puzzled, "Ambition? What ambition do I have?"

Qi Wenren had the feeling that things were not going according to plan again. In his expectation, Bu Bule should have a drastic change in expression first, and then lower his voice and ask him what he knew.

But Bu Bule directly shouted out the word ambition. Qi Wenren felt that he couldn't say no, and he couldn't not say it, after all, those maids were still there.

He couldn't just reveal Bu Bule's matter of harming Tong Qianxi, right? Without evidence, Bu Bule would definitely not admit it.

Of course, whether it was true or false, as long as this matter reached Chief Tong Tu's ears, it would definitely plant a nail in his heart. It would be hard to say whether he would let this cheap son-in-law take over at that time.

But that had nothing to do with Qi Wenren. He just wanted to find that strange object as soon as possible. As for whether Bu Bule would become the next Chief of Shizhou, he didn't care.

So, in his opinion, the best result was to solve it privately. Bu Bule handed over the strange object, and they could also promise not to tell anyone about it.

Therefore, Qi Wenren was now very embarrassed. He regretted not listening to Lu Jing's words just now and finding evidence first.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at Lu Jing again, hoping that the latter could give him some inspiration, but this time Lu Jing just stood aside and said nothing.

At this time, Bu Bule on the other side was still persistent, looking at Qi Wenren and Lu Jing with a suspicious look, "Aren't you here to treat Qianxi? What do you mean by running to me?"
