"A letter from your lord? What's written inside? "
Yang Si couldn't help but stretch his neck to look at the letter in Wei Ci's hands … he didn't know what was written inside for this person to be so happy.
Could it be … he raised his eyebrows, a feeling of gossiping arose in his heart. When he fixed his eyes on the letter, he was instantly disappointed.
"Isn't it just that Feng Zhen is willing to stay … why, what amazing talent does this person have to make you so happy?"
Wei Ci kept the smile on his face and said seriously, "I am not happy because of Zi Shi's pledge of allegiance."
Yang Si was surprised and asked, "Oh? Then why? "
Wei Ci said, "Zi Shi is usually unrestrained, almost no one can persuade him to restrain himself. But, he promised my lord to give up Hanshi powder. "
True love, this is …
Yang Si's eyes flashed with surprise. He was no stranger to Hanshi powder. He heard that if one takes too much of it, they will never be able to live without it. If there is any mistake in the process of taking the powder, it could lead to death. Even so, there are still people who regard it as the standard, because the process of giving up Hanshi powder is too painful.
Too many people can't take it and choose to continue using Hanshi powder to numb themselves.
But … Feng Zhen's promise to give up Hanshi powder, what does this have to do with Wei Ci being happy?
As if he saw the confusion on Yang Si's face, Wei Ci smiled and said, "Giving up Hanshi powder isn't something that can be done in a day, he is in for it."
After Yang Si heard this, he couldn't help but shiver.
So he was happy only because Feng Zhen was going to suffer?
Why is this fox's heart so black?
Wei Ci said, "Jing Rong doesn't understand, wait till you really meet Zi Shi, you will understand."
Others worried so much for his body, but the person himself didn't care. He wasted his energy, wasted his energy, how could he not be angry?
Now that Feng Zhen is in for it, if Wei Ci wasn't happy for a while, he would be letting down his worries in the past.
But …
He flattened the curvature of his lips and looked at the letter in his hands with a gloomy gaze, his brows carrying some doubt.
Yang Si asked him, "What's wrong with you?"
Wei Ci replied calmly, "I just didn't expect Zi Shi to take the powder for four years …"
Yang Si thought it was something serious and said, "You've taken the powder for four years, yet you still have the energy to seek death. You don't know how to take care of yourself. You're indeed a tough guy."
Wei Ci shook his head secretly. That was not what he meant, but he could not explain it clearly to Yang Si.
In his past life, he lived in seclusion in Zhongzhao's Bianzhou and maintained correspondence with Feng Zhen. He remembered that when Feng Zhen first came into contact with Hanshi powder, he was already over 30 years old. How old is he now? He had actually been consuming the Hanshi powder for four and a half years and he was already addicted to it. It was really puzzling.
Speaking of which … he seemed to have overlooked something?
A thought flashed across Wei Ci's mind and he came to his senses in an instant!
Hanshi powder!
This thing was indeed popular among the gentry clans, but at that time, the nine states and five countries were already in a dispirited and hopeless state. Some of the nobles from the gentry clans who led a befuddled life used Hanshi powder to numb themselves. The effect of the upper class was similar to that of the lower class, and Hanshi powder was spread everywhere, and once it was spread out, it could not be stopped.
Calculating the time, it should be three to five years later before the Hanshi powder is truly spread and abused by others.
In his previous life, Feng Zhen had heard that Hanshi powder could strengthen his physique and that was why he consumed it. The him now was merely seeking death for the sake of enjoyment.
Before that, Hanshi powder was only popular among the gentry clans within a small circle, it had never been so widespread.
But now?
Recalling the assessment a few years ago, the scholar who participated in the assessment took off his clothes and molested him in public, Wei Ci's face turned pale.
Uncontrollably, Master Chen's words surfaced in his mind.
Hanshi powder's spread many years ago might have something to do with the evildoer who stole the fate of Dongqing.
"After consuming Hanshi powder for four years, the addiction has already formed. To completely kick the habit, one would have to suffer a lot."
In his previous life, Feng Zhen had only consumed Hanshi powder for one to two years. Afterwards, Jiang Pengji forced him to quit.
According to Feng Zhen's own recollection, the process of quitting was extremely painful. It caused him to develop a conditional fear towards the three words Hanshi powder.
In this life, he had consumed Hanshi powder for four years … wouldn't the pain of quitting be multiplied?
Yang Si said sarcastically, "You can gloat, that Feng Zhen is really unlucky to know you."
The addiction of Hanshi powder was not as strong as drugs, the probability of completely quitting was also high, but the withdrawal reaction was not something a normal person could endure. The strong desire in the mind, the pain in the body, under the double pressure, only by relying on willpower could one get through it.
Runny nose and tears, muscle cramps, stomach cramps, headache and nausea …
Feng Zhen had tried to quit, but the feeling was too painful. He endured it for a while and gave up, choosing to bow down to the Hanshi powder master.
Now … how could Jiang Pengji allow him to give up?
Feng Zhen did not know what Jiang Pengji did to him. When the addiction of Hanshi powder hit him, other than his pair of eyes that could move and his brain that could think, his entire body felt weak and powerless. He could not speak when he opened his mouth, but his consciousness remained clear and he could feel the movement in his body.
The addiction flared up, from noon to dusk, his sweat had already soaked his clothes several times.
Feeling the pain in his body gradually recede, Feng Zhen panted heavily, as if he had crawled back from the 18th level of hell.
"How do you feel?"
Jiang Pengji entered from outside the house, behind her was a guard who carried a clean set of clothes.
Feng Zhen laid on the ground, slowly regaining control of his body, but his limbs were still weak, even sitting up was difficult.
"I don't want … to talk to you …"
Feng Zhen's face was full of sweat, he drowsily closed his eyes, he could not bear to recall the pain from before, he could not bear to recall himself being controlled by the addiction.
When the addiction flared up, he thought of hundreds of ways to kill Jiang Pengji, he wished he could drink her blood, eat her flesh, he was even more crazy and cruel than a wild beast.
How could he still have an ounce of rationality?
"I got someone to prepare some light detoxifying food for you, eat some after you wash up. In the next month, the addiction flares up more frequently, and the duration is longer. If you don't have enough stamina and energy, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand it. "
Jiang Pengji said, "You should also be thankful that you were rather disciplined when using Hanshi powder, you did not abuse it recklessly."
Feng Zhen had used Hanshi powder for more than four years, but the amount every time was small, and the interval was longer. It was only in the last year that it became more frequent, the dosage also increased, if not, he would have died a long time ago, he could not be more dead.
Jiang Pengji's mental brain was strong, she could secretly help him to stay awake, and it was safer for him to pass the withdrawal period.
After Feng Zhen heard this, he could not help but tremble.
It was so painful once, and there would be more flare-ups in the next month, how could he withstand it?
"Can I regret it?"
He did not want to quit.
"No, you can endure it for a while, the future will be bright." Jiang Pengji looked at Feng Zhen who was lying on the ground like a salted fish, she smiled and said, "I brewed some wine recently, it's much stronger than the wine you usually drink, when you control your addiction, I'll treat you to two cups."
Wine …
