Chapter 38: Death for Death
Mu Chu supported his forehead with a finger, his eyes did not let go of any trace of emotion, he wanted to see something from those black eyes, but those clear eyes were calm and straight, and he did not have any ambition.
As the emperor, there are also Mu Chu's own considerations, not to mention that this woman is definitely not qualified to be Princess Jing, the prince's illness is really not easy to delay.
Mu Chu's eyes were full of meaning, and he unconsciously let it out: "How can you be sure, you will definitely be able to solve the prince's poison." ”
This woman appeared too strangely, and besides, the poisoning of the prince made the entire Tai Hospital helpless, she was so ashamed, was she overconfident in her medical skills, or was it her accomplice who poisoned her...... Thinking of this, Mu Chu glanced at his other son, the third prince Mu Beichen.
This kind of speculation made a complicated look appear in the emperor's eyes, no father wanted to encounter fratricidal affairs. But imperial power can make anyone crazy, and Mu Chu back then also stepped on the blood of his brothers all the way to the supreme throne.
More than twenty years later, the same thing had unconsciously taken the turn of his sons, Mu Chu lowered his eyes and looked at the tea leaves floating in the tea bowl, his eyes were heavy, and he gradually became cold.
Rong Ruoqing's voice had already sounded: "This poison has long been lost, and there is no antidote, except for me, I am afraid that no one in the world can solve it." ”
Mu Chu narrowed his eyes, and his eyes became a narrow slit: "Since there is no antidote, how can you detoxify?" ”
Rong Ruo pursed the corners of his mouth and said in a deep voice: "I have my own solution, but I can't be with outsiders, but please rest assured that the emperor will definitely save the prince." ”
Mu Chuping's palm on the table clenched his fist: "Why can't you say it." ”
Jiang Cheng looked at Rong Ruo worriedly, others didn't know, but he knew very well that such a treatment method was too ridiculous, and if he said it, I am afraid that no one would be able to accept it, let alone use it on the prince.
Rong Ruo bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to save my life." ”
Concubine Lin snorted lightly and said unceremoniously: "Your life can be compared to the prince's?" ”
"What if you add the king's?" Mu Beichen's voice was like a cool breeze on an autumn night, blowing into everyone's ears.
Everyone was stunned, and even Lu Siming, who had been silent for a long time, opened her mouth in surprise.
Mu Beichen's straight body stood proudly, stood in front of the emperor, and said coldly: "Father, if any accident happens to the prince on the way to treatment, the son is willing to exchange his life for his life." ”
Among the sons, Mu Chu knows the least about this son, he is very good at hiding his emotions at a young age, and because of the relationship between Mu Beichen's mother, Mu Chu is not very close to him, and even only gives him an idle position, not wanting him to participate too much in the government politics.
Three years ago, there was a change in the palace, Mu Beichen disappeared, and the emperor sent the Praetorian Guards to search the whole city, but there was no news.
When everyone thought that Mu Beichen was unlucky, and this amazing and brilliant third prince withdrew from the history of Jokhang, Mu Beichen sent someone to send a letter to the palace, he was safe and sound, but he was reluctant to return to the palace for a while.
The emperor was furious, thinking that Mu Beichen had no respect for his elders, and he didn't take his father in his eyes, but then he didn't know what happened, so he actually followed him.
At this moment, listening to Mu Beichen's words, Mu Chu was relieved, and looked at Mu Beichen seriously for a long time, knowing him for the first time in a trance.
Rong Ruo looked at Mu Beichen, and didn't quite believe what she heard, wouldn't it, why did this man believe in herself so much, she herself couldn't be 100% sure that she could save her.
It is undeniable that Mu Beichen's firm tone warmed Rong Ruo's heart, and the trust that makes a person deliver his life is rare among lovers.
But why, they haven't known each other for a few days, right?
Rong Ruohu's suspicious eyes swirled on Mu Beichen's side face, only seeing the man's cold and hard arc and deep black eyes, he couldn't see through the slightest emotion.
"Empty words." Concubine Lin's shrill voice sounded: "If King Jing doesn't admit it at that time, there will be no loss, there is only one son in this palace." ”
Mu Chu furrowed his brows and got up suddenly: "That's enough." ”
Concubine Lin and Mu Chu have been husband and wife for many years, and they are familiar with his various emotional changes, as soon as they heard this, they knew that he was a little angry, his face turned pale, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
Mu Chu walked up to Rong Ruo and said, "For the sake of Beichen's face, I believe you once." ”
Rong Ruo took a breath of cool air, clenched his fists with his hands hanging at his side, so that his body would not tremble, tried to stabilize his throat, and replied, "Yes, I will do my best." "This time, not only to save the prince, but also to save her and Mu Beichen's lives.
Mu Chu looked at Jiang Cheng next to Rong Ruo again, Jiang Cheng was humble but not humble, with a hint of restraint on his gentle face, he lowered his head to look at the ground, showing the greatest respect for this son of heaven.
"Okay, let's go." Mu Chu said this, turned around and walked out.
Concubine Lin chased two steps: "Your Majesty, the concubine hopes that Imperial Doctor Liu will diagnose Jingyu together." ”
Mu Chu stopped at the door of the room, turned around and patted Concubine Lin on the shoulder: "You are also tired these days, go back to the palace to rest for a while, just keep the crown princess and King Jing here." ”
Concubine Lin listened to the emperor's concern and was still very useful, and immediately lowered her head aggrievedly, and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "Your Majesty, now that Jingyu is like this, how can the concubine sleep, the concubine is just this one son......"
Mu Chu sighed: "I understand, you don't have to worry too much. ”
Concubine Lin choked up twice: "Your Majesty, you know that Imperial Doctor Liu is an old man in the Tai Hospital, and the concubines trust him very much, and with him watching by Jingyu's side, the concubines are also relieved." ”
Mu Chu half-lowered his eyes and nodded: "Okay, it's up to you." ”
When Concubine Lin heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and while reluctantly pulling the corners of her mouth and smiling: "Concubine to you." ”
However, Concubine Lin hadn't rested well in the past few days, and she only walked a few steps, and when she shook up, her eyes were dark, and she fainted.
The palace maid next to her reacted quickly and caught it in time, Lu Siming exclaimed: "Mother! ”
Mu Chu was also taken aback: "Send Concubine Lin back to Yuhua Palace." ”
A group of people hurriedly escorted the concubine Lin to Yuhua Palace with the imperial physician Liu Xiang.
The rest are only a few palace maids in the palace, and there are Rong Ruo.
Rong Ruo looked at Mu Beichen: "Why are you here?" ”
Mu Beichen threw his sleeves behind his back and said indifferently: "You can start diagnosing the disease." ”
"Oh......" Rong Ruo also felt that now was not the time to chat.
Jiang Cheng saw King Jing for the first time, and he found that this prince was not only handsome and extraordinary, but also imposing, standing in front of him, he couldn't breathe a little under his coercion.
Mu Beichen's cold eyes slid across Jiang Cheng's face, and then he sat on a chair and drank tea and water freely.
Rong Ruo pursed her lips, of course she couldn't care about Mu Beichen's affairs, and walked straight to Jiang Cheng and said, "Let's go." ”
Jiang Cheng nodded at Mu Beichen, and then followed Rong Ruo in.
When Mu Beichen was drinking tea, his deep black eyes stared at the backs of the two, his eyes flickering, and the depth was abnormal.
*
In the room, Rong Ruo picked up the prepared short knife, turned his head sideways and said, "Let's start?" ”
Jiang Cheng nodded, and his expression was a little serious: "Okay." ”
The two of them no longer communicated, and only the sound of breathing could be heard in the quiet room.
If you concentrate, you won't be distracted by other things, and you will concentrate on the movements in your hands. And Jiang Cheng cooperated with Rong Ruo again, and couldn't help but look at it several times, Rong Ruo's petite face was serious and dignified, showing a charming demeanor.
An hour later, Liu Xiang hurried back to the East Palace, but as soon as he entered the prince's bedroom, what he saw was Mu Beichen sitting and drinking tea.
Liu Xiang was a little afraid of this prince, and he saluted from afar: "Your Royal Highness King Jing, Concubine Lin Niangniang instructed her ministers to come over and cooperate with Miss Rong to diagnose the disease." ”
Mu Beichen clasped the tea bowl with one hand, and the other slender finger was against his chin, leaning lazily on it, his cold eyes looked over, and said lightly: "There are enough people inside." ”
"But...... Concubine Lin said...... "Liu Xiang doesn't dare to offend this lord, but if he doesn't go in, he can't explain to Concubine Lin."
"Can't you hear what this king says?" Mu Beichen's voice cooled down, as if he was a little impatient.
Liu Xiang hung his head: "The minister doesn't dare." "He's just a little imperial doctor, no matter who he listens to, he's embarrassed, and he's counting on it in his heart, when Mu Beichen is gone, it's okay to go in again.
Sure enough, Mu Beichen didn't sit for a long time before he stood up.
Liu Xiang's face was just happy, and the next moment, two people suddenly came in from inside, one on one side, standing on both sides of Liu Xiang.
"Imperial Doctor Liu, King Jing said that the East Palace is in an eventful season, so as not to disturb the people in the Imperial Palace, so he specially asked the two of us to stay and wait together." One of them said.
Liu Xiang made a bitter face: "Thank you, King Jing." "What to accompany is to spy on him!
*
The palace in the dark night is like a sleeping dragon entrenched, quietly dormant.
In one of the secluded places, a figure flew by, and the autumn wind blew, raising the purple corners of his clothes, and also spreading the dark hair on his cheeks, revealing a stunning handsome face that people will never forget.
Mu Beichen stood with his hands in his hands, standing quietly in the dark.
Suddenly, another gust of wind brought a black shadow.
Mu Beichen didn't look back, and said lightly: "The matter is done?" ”
The man half-knelt and saluted: "Yes, everything is according to the prince's account." ”
Mu Beichen raised his head, looked at a star that appeared in the gap between the floating clouds in the sky, and said for a while: "Well, tomorrow this king will give you the opportunity, you know how to do it." ”
The black shadow lowered his head, clenched his fists and said, "My subordinates understand." ”
Mu Beichen stopped talking, and the black shadow didn't leave, and after a while, Mu Beichen turned his head to look over: "Is there anything else?" ”
The black shadow stood up, his figure was crisp, not very burly, but his body seemed to be a black panther with strength, full of tightness, and by the moonlight, a dignified young face was revealed.
He is Mu Beichen's secret guard, and he is also the most trusted subordinate - Duan Yi.
Duan Yi observed Mu Beichen's expression and hesitated, "What if Miss Rong can't detoxify the prince?" ”
Mu Beichen's cold eyes narrowed, turned around, and said coldly: "You don't have to worry about this matter." ”
Duan Yi frowned: "But ......"
