Chapter 69 Poisoning

After breakfast, Ran Ning and Zhong Su were about to go to the bookstore to stay until the evening, when Xiao Wu walked in quickly and said to Zhong Su: "Master, the secret guard who went to Nanyan is back." ”

"Let him in." Zhong Su didn't mean to avoid Ran Ning.

"Yes." Xiao Wu went out, and after a while, the secret guard walked in.

"Master." The Dark Guard fell to his knees and saluted with his fists clenched. He was Zhong Su's secret guard, and he was only loyal to Zhong Su, so there was no need to salute Ran Ning.

"Get up. How is Chu Chuan's side? Zhong Su asked.

Ran Ning felt that Zhong Su, who was talking about business, was completely different from Zhong Su, who usually stayed with her, and Zhong Su's Zhong Su was left to her alone, and she still had that cold face to the outside, and she was even more cold and majestic to her subordinates. But even Zhong Su, who looked a little scared like this, Ran Ning accepted and liked it, because she knew how gentle Zhong Su was, so she had never been afraid of his coldness.

The secret guard stood up and reported: "The second prince of Nanyan agreed with the little prince to practice martial arts, and repaired a book, so that his subordinates could hand it over to the master. As he spoke, the guard took out a letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands.

Zhong Su didn't get up, but his hand stretched forward a little, and in the blink of an eye, the letter had been sucked into Zhong Su's hand. Zhong Su didn't rush to look at it, but only asked, "What other news?" ”

"Master, Nanyan has started a war." The voice of the dark guard also has no affection, like a loyal puppet, because he knows that the master does not need his affection.

"So fast?" In fact, Zhong Su didn't have too many surprises about this, he and Ran Ning both knew that Nanyan's war would come soon, but they didn't expect Nanyan to be over this year.

"Yes. When his subordinates left the capital of Nanyan, they were fine, but when they were about to leave Nanyan, they heard the rumors of war. The subordinates hurriedly left before the border was closed, and they didn't dare to delay on the way. The Dark Guard said truthfully. If the border of Nanyan is closed for martial law, then he is afraid that it will not be so easy for him to leave Nanyan.

"Well, go down and rest." Zhong Su nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, the subordinates retired." With that, the Dark Guard saluted and went out.

Zhong Su handed the letter to Ran Ning, and Ran Ning did not hesitate, directly opened the letter, and then read it to Zhong Su.

The content of the letter is to the effect that he hopes that Zhong Su can take good care of Chu Yan, the civil war in Nanyan is imminent, and he may not be able to take care of Chu Yan's side, and Chu Yan's hand over to Zhong Su without his consent. In addition, if there is an accident in this civil war and he dies in the civil war, please also ask Zhong Su to hide Chu Yan well, don't let Chu Yan return to Nanyan again, grow up safely, and marry a wife and have children in the future.

After reading this letter, Ran Ning sighed, "Chu Chuan also worried a lot about Chu Yan. ”

"Hmm." Zhong Su thought for a moment and said, "We have to add some people to protect Chu Yan." As soon as the civil war in Nanyan started, Chu Yan disappeared without a trace, which would definitely arouse suspicion. Regardless of whether you can find Beixinlai or not, it is always safer to make more preparations. ”

"Hmm." Ran Ning nodded, Zhong Su was more thoughtful than her, but at the same time, he also had one more question, "In case Chu Chuan is defeated, will you let Chu Yan return to China to compete for the throne, or will you listen to Chu Chuan and let him live safely?" ”

"Chu Chuan thought too simply." Zhong Su said expressionlessly: "If the new emperor of Nanyan is not Chu Chuan, do you think the new emperor will let Chu Yan go?" If you want Chu Yan to be safe, either Chu Chuan himself becomes Emperor Nanyan, or Chu Yan goes to sit in the position of Emperor Nanyan. ”

Zhong Su's idea was very realistic, and Ran Ning also understood that it was almost impossible for them to protect Chu Yan I alone. If Chu Chuan is really defeated, then Zhong Su's previous agreement with Chu Chuan will be considered null and void, and Zhong Su can use the emperor's mind to divide the fat of Nanyan to lead the troops to quell the chaos, and when the time comes, it will be logical to fight for Chu Yan. After all, Nanyan is so big, it is impossible for Beixin to swallow it all, and it doesn't matter if you want to fight for one or two cities.

"I don't think Chu Chuan will be defeated." Zhong Su said with certainty.

Ran Ning chuckled, "Since that's the case, let's find a way to get the emperor not to make you go on the expedition." But then again, when will the emperor get the news? "Ran Ning knew that Zhong Su's news would usually come out at least half a day earlier than in the palace.

"It's going to be about three or four days late." Zhong Su said. His secret guard came out in front of the gate, and the emperor's people were afraid that they would have to delay for a few days before they could get out of the city.

"There's still time." Sometimes the idea is that the more urgent it is, the more you don't have it, and now you have a few days of time to come up with a good solution.

The palace banquet was held in the evening, and Ran Ning didn't go, but Tan went with him, after all, Madame's previous contacts were still indispensable.

Ran Ning asked Bizhu to cook a little more decanting soup, and when Zhenbeihou and his parents came back, he could also send some over.

After dinner, Ran Ning was reading in the room, and now she has no convenient hands, so she can only read. Chu Yan was practicing with Zunchen, and he was about to fall asleep directly after practicing.

When it was near, the maid came to talk back and forth, saying that the Hou Ye and his party were back, and the lady said that the time was not early, so that Ran Ning didn't have to go to say hello.

Not long after Ran Ning responded, Xiao Wu walked in with Zhong Su.

Ran Ning saw that Zhong Su seemed to be unable to stand anymore, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help, and also called Bizhu to take a hand, and asked Xiao Wu again: "How much did you drink, why are you drunk like this?" ”

Zhong Su is very moderate in doing things, and he definitely won't drink it like this.

Xiao Wu's face was also a little uneasy, and he replied: "The little ones don't know, the little ones can't go in, they can only wait outside." The master was fine when he came out, but something was wrong when he got out of the carriage. ”

Ran Ning was a little uneasy in her heart, and hurriedly asked Xiao Wu and Bizhu to help people on the bed. But before he got to the bedside, Zhong Su suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person completely softened.

"Xianggong!" Ran Ning was startled, so she didn't care about the injury on her hand, so she hurried to see him.

"Master, master!" Xiao Wu also panicked, even if his master was crazy, he didn't vomit blood without warning like today.

Ran Ning bit the tip of her tongue, calmed herself down, took Zhong Su from Bizhu's hand, and said to Bizhu: "Hurry up and ask Master Zunchen to come over, and then let someone go and inform grandfather of them, quick!" ”

"Yes!" Bizhu knew that this matter could not be delayed, even if she panicked, she hurriedly called someone according to what Ran Ning said.

Ran Ning and Xiao Wu helped Zhong Su to the bed, returned his shoes and coat for him, and pulled the quilt over to cover it. Ran Ning sat on the edge of the bed and wiped the blood stains from his mouth with a handkerchief. Zhong Su didn't react at all, it seemed that the popularity on the side was gone, Ran Ning looked at his gray face, and his heart sank little by little.

"Young lady, the little one looks at the master, this seems to be poisoned." Xiao Wu said his guess. Zhong Su had an accident, and he was no less worried than anyone else, it was his master.

"Poisoned?" Ran Ning frowned and glared, "How can you be poisoned with a good dignity?" How can a palace banquet be poisonous? ”

"Small...... The little one doesn't know ...... either, "Xiao Wu can't figure out what's going on."

As he was talking, Zunchen rushed over, Ran Ning quickly gave up his position, and said to Zunchen: "Master, take a look at what's wrong with Xianggong?" As soon as I entered the door, I vomited blood, and then I fell unconscious. ”

Zunchen checked Zhong Su's pulse, checked the blood on the ground again, and got up with a very stern expression: "It's poisoned." ”

"What?" Zhenbei Hou, who rushed over, listened to it.

"Su'er is poisoned?" Tan, who came over, heard Zunchen's words, his face turned white, and he hurriedly rushed to the side of the bed to check on Zhong Su's situation.

General Zhong also looked stern, "How could Su'er be poisoned?" What did he eat? ”

Xiao Wu immediately replied: "During the day, in the house, the food is the same. In the evening, the palace banquet is small, and it is not clear. ”

Zunchen said while prescribing the prescription: "Su'er This is a slow poison, it should have been about an hour from the entrance to now, which means that this poison should be taken in the palace." Su'er has eaten a lot of poisons refined by my senior brother, and the body itself can resist most of the poisons, and what can poison him must be a rare poison, or this poison may not be produced in Beixin. In other words, someone is poisoning Su'er. ”

Zunchen's words made everyone present look very ugly. Poisoned Zhong Su and placed it at the palace banquet, it is not so easy to guess who this person will be.

The Marquis of Zhenbei was silent for a moment, and said to Xiao Wu: "Take my waist card and go to the palace to invite the royal doctor over." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Wu immediately responded and went out.

"It's not easy for our Zhenbei Hou Mansion to open up about Su'er's poisoning, so naturally someone has to speak for us. I want to see who dares to harm my grandson! Zhenbei Hou's eyes were full of anger. It's not that he can't trust Zunchen, on the contrary, he is more at ease with Zunchen. It's just that Zhong Su wanted to investigate the poisoning in the palace and the emperor had to open his mouth, so how could this word reach the emperor, it was definitely not for him to say it, and it couldn't rely on the virtuous concubine, it had to be said by the imperial doctor to be the most appropriate and convincing.

Zunchen was not a person who was willing to think about these doorways, and he didn't care about the imperial doctor that Zhenbeihou went to invite, so he went to the hospital and took the medicine box he brought with him, took two antidote pills and fed them to Zhong Su. Fortunately, Zhong Su ate a lot of poison before, otherwise even if this poison didn't kill him today, it is estimated that he would become a waste person in the future. What he has to do now is to try to stabilize this poison as much as possible, and it is safest to wait for his senior brother to come over and detoxify Zhong Su. And these antidote pills are just to save Zhong Su's life, he has to hurry up and repair a book and ask his senior brother to come over quickly.

Not long after, Xiao Wu came with Imperial Doctor Wang. Although the imperial physician is not highly respected in the Tai Hospital, he was born in a family of imperial doctors, is upright and has superb medical skills, but he is still young and has shallow qualifications, so it is not his turn to serve the nobles in the palace, and most of them run to the homes of ministers who have the right to ask for imperial doctors.

After entering the door, the imperial physician first saluted the Marquis of Zhenbei.

Zhenbei Hou hurriedly helped him up, and hurriedly said: "Imperial Doctor Wang, hurry up and help Su'er take a look, he vomited blood when he came back, and I don't know what happened, and now he is in a coma and can't wake up at all." ”

When Imperial Physician Wang heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said: "Xiaguan will show it to the general, don't worry." After speaking, Imperial Physician Wang checked Zhong Su's pulse and checked the blood on the ground.

The conclusion is consistent with Zunchen's, they are all poisoned, and they are indeed poisoned in the palace. This matter is not trivial, the imperial physician immediately said that he would go back to the emperor, as for how to treat it, he didn't dare to say it now, and he had to ask the more experienced old imperial doctor in the palace to take a look.

The Marquis of Zhenbei didn't expect Imperial Physician Wang to cure Zhong Su well, as long as he brought the words to the emperor, it was enough.

"Now the lower officials can't be sure what kind of poison it is, so let's temporarily prescribe a prescription for the general to clear the poison, and then go back and ask other imperial doctors to come over." Imperial Physician Wang said.

"There's King Lao's Imperial Doctor." General Zhong said.

After the imperial physician left the prescription, he hurried back to the palace. The purpose of Zhenbei Hou was also achieved, Fang Zi didn't even look at it, and handed it over to Xiao Xiao, there is Zun Chen, this recipe is useless, just grab a pair of medicine and come back and cook it, just hide people's eyes and ears.
