The cannon fodder in the book is laughing, and the scum is slapped in the face

Chapter 220 I Hate You So Much

What Qiao Jinlan said was not to say that General Zhao did not treat them with good food.

On the contrary, the meal can be said to be quite good.

But, it’s obvious at first glance that this isn’t something that’s often produced in the kitchen.

The chef who made this dish is a little green.

You know, there is a big difference between cooking a big pot meal and cooking fine meals.

It can be seen that General Zhao specially ordered the kitchen to prepare this in order to entertain the two of them.

I'm afraid the meals the Zhao family eats on weekdays are very simple.

It can be seen from the yard of General Zhao's house that his family cannot be said to be poor, but they are definitely not wealthy.

"General Zhao often pays out of his own pocket to support the families of soldiers who died on the battlefield," said Lu Yunxu.

"The pensions given by the court are not much, and most of them are not enough for the soldiers' families to live on in the future."

"What's more, some soldiers are still alive, but they are disabled, which costs more money than death."

To put it bluntly, when you die, you can just be buried, and it doesn't cost much.

If things get terrible, you'll need medical treatment, and there are all sorts of other problems that all cost money.

Not to mention, it takes a lot of energy for their families to take care of them.

These are all problems and require more money.

The money given by the court was simply not enough.

General Zhao has been using his own money to subsidize the family, so the Zhao family's living standard is really not that good.

Qiao Jinlan and Lu Yunxu were guests, so naturally the food they ate was better.

But General Zhao's so-called better status is actually incomparable to those royal relatives.

The stewards in those mansions probably eat better than their masters like General Zhao.

Of course, Qiao Jinlan and Lu Yunxu did not tell General Zhao about these things.

If General Zhao investigates now, he will eventually find something.

After having lunch and taking a short break, Qiao Jinlan went to see the Zhao family members.

This kind of toxicity is usually hidden and will not erupt. It needs a trigger to be exposed.

Qiao Jinlan directly told General Zhao the introduction.

That thing is not that rare, it is just some herbs that are always available in the house.

Qiao Jinlan told General Zhao what was needed. General Zhao had people prepare it and also called the court doctor.

The court physician was a military doctor who had once followed General Zhao in the army. Later, as he grew old and had no relatives around him, he continued to follow General Zhao and lived in the Zhao family.

After hearing what Qiao Jinlan said, the court doctor frowned and said, "I have heard of this kind of poison, but... it is not available here at all. It is a poison from outside the country, and it is extremely rare."

"If you want to get this kind of poison, it will take a lot of effort."

General Zhao's face turned black.

Your Majesty, how much you hate the Zhao family for going to so much trouble and effort to find this poison.

The Zhao family really causes Your Majesty a lot of trouble!

General Zhao took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said to the court doctor, "Is this medicine correct?"

The court doctor shook his head: "I have never come into contact with this kind of poison. I only know the properties of this poison and the reactions after being poisoned."

"If you look at how weak they are on weekdays, they really are similar."

"It's just that this kind of poison is very deceptive. If it's not found out to be poisoning, it won't be easily exposed unless it takes effect at the very end."

"If the poison takes effect, there will be no chance of treatment."

The court doctor looked at Qiao Jinlan and asked, "Can this lady really detoxify me?"

The court physician does not want to see General Zhao's child die of poison.

If this poison is not triggered, you can still survive even if your body is weak.

If the poison takes effect... and there is no antidote, then there will be no coming back.

"Father, I'm willing to give it a try." General Zhao's eldest son said in a deep voice.

The thing he regretted most was that he could not learn martial arts and could not go to the battlefield to defend his country like his father.

What's more, he also has a child, and his child is as weak as he is.

He just wanted to give it a try. If possible, he wanted to become a normal person again and not be so weak and powerless.

It is simply a disgrace to be a general.

"Okay." General Zhao said directly, "Mrs. Lu, thank you for your help."

"It's okay." Qiao Jinlan smiled slightly and directly lit the mixed herbs.

Others don't think it's a big deal when they smell it, but instead find it refreshing.

However, General Zhao's eldest son's face suddenly changed, and he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The court doctor rushed over and took his pulse. His face changed drastically: "General, it's that kind of poison!"

Even though General Zhao was mentally prepared, he still swayed.

He didn't expect that His Majesty would be so cruel.

If we calculate based on the time, Your Majesty had already taken action against their family when he was still a prince and had not yet ascended the throne.

Just because he did not support anyone and remained neutral at the beginning, Your Majesty, who had not yet ascended the throne, became murderous and wanted to kill his family? Did he want to wipe out all of them?

Qiao Jinlan didn't even wait for General Zhao to say anything. She inserted a silver needle into the acupuncture point of General Zhao's eldest son. Black blood instantly dripped slowly along the silver needle.

Then, Qiao Jinlan gave him a pill.

In fact, for Qiao Jinlan, it is not that difficult to detoxify this poison. She can just use the power of God to purify it.

However, she couldn't reveal her identity, so she used silver needles and pills to disguise herself so that General Zhao could see it more clearly.

Besides, as long as the poison is removed, it will be fine.

It doesn’t matter what the process is like.

After a quarter of an hour, the blood finally turned red. Qiao Jinlan then pulled out the silver needle and said to General Zhao, "The poison has been resolved, but you still need to take good care of your body."

"If you want to learn martial arts in the future...it's not impossible."

Qiao Jinlan said, and directly wrote a few prescriptions to the court doctor: "Prescribe the medicine according to this, and the subsequent treatment is clearly written on it."

The court doctor was completely stunned. Just give all this to him?

Such a precious prescription was just given to him like that?

"Thank you." General Zhao knew that he owed too many favors now, and these were nothing.

Qiao Jinlan smiled and said, "General Zhao, you are too polite."

After Qiao Jinlan finished what she was supposed to do, she went back to their yard with Lu Yunxu to rest.

As long as they wait until General Zhao finds out the situation, they will be able to get the things that Liu Shuiqing asked General Zhao to keep.

I have to say, Liu Shuiqing is really cunning.

If General Zhao were to make this happen, it could potentially overthrow the imperial power of a country.

This is not an easy decision to make.

"This emperor is loved by others because he is too good at pretending." Qiao Jinlan sighed speechlessly, "The question is, what's the point of pretending when governing a country?"

"Without practical matters, problems will erupt sooner or later, and by then, the country will inevitably be in chaos!"
