Duan Yi heard that the prince actually said something about exchanging his life for that girl, is this too much.

Mu Beichen's handsome face brought out a hint of sarcasm: "Do you think this king has taken a fancy to her, Li Lingzhi is dizzy?" ”

"The subordinates don't dare." Duan Yi was stunned, could it be that the truth was different from what he thought, and he really couldn't guess the prince's mind more and more.

The dark night made Mu Beichen's eyes thicker, and the coldness in his eyes was even stronger: "When this matter is over, she will leave." ”

Duan Yi breathed a sigh of relief, he had been by Mu Beichen's side for the longest time, and he knew Mu Beichen's affairs best, he was not favored by the emperor because of his biological mother's relationship, and he also lost a lot of opportunities, but Mu Beichen had outstanding ability, and he attracted the resentment of other princes, so what happened two years ago.

Duan Yi, as Mu Beichen's loyal subordinate, hoped that Mu Beichen could have enough power to compete with other princes, and he was also eager to accompany him to stand at the peak of power. Therefore, it is especially important to choose a suitable in-law. Obviously, Rong Ruo's family background is not suitable.

However, Duan Yi only dared to think about these words. However, he knew that with Mu Beichen's wisdom, he must have considered it more thoroughly than him.

Although that Miss Rong is as beautiful as a fairy, Duan Yi is confident that Mu Beichen will not be seduced.

Duan Yi's eyes looked ahead again, and put it on Mu Beichen's body, he felt that there was no one in this world who had such momentum as Mu Beichen, this was a man who was the living king, Duan Yi's eyes swelled with inexplicable excitement, because he felt extremely honored to follow Mu Beichen.

At this moment, the two of them stood at the highest point of the palace, looking down, the palace lights gradually went out, and the entire palace fell into incomparable silence. At this time, there is no majesty seen in the daytime, but some hideous horrors are born.

However, in such a dark night, there are some things that are quietly going on, which are not yet visible, but in the near future, the current situation will gradually be turned upside down.

Mu Beichen, looking forward to it.

The stars receded, revealing the whiteness of the fish's belly.

Jiang Cheng's fingers trembled, he suddenly woke up, and hurriedly turned his head to see that in front of the bed, the woman's slender figure was still busy.

On the fourth watch, because the rest of the things only needed to be done, she asked Jiang Cheng to go to the side to take a rest. Originally, Jiang Cheng would never keep her busy, and chose to rest by himself.

But Rong Ruo told him that she needed Jiang Cheng to take care of the prince tomorrow, and let him rest at this time just to nourish his spirit for tomorrow.

However, Jiang Cheng did not sleep comfortably on the table, he woke up from a nightmare, and he gasped twice with shortness of breath.

Rong Ruoyu swept over: "Are you awake?" ”

Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, stood up and said, "I'm rested, how are you here?" ”

Rong Ruoning frowned and hurriedly moved his hands, and said, "It will take two more hours." ”

"I'll help you." Jiang Cheng felt that he had rested for a while just now and had recovered enough energy.

He looked at Rong Ruo's face emptily, his originally delicate face showed pale tiredness, and the long-term concentration made her eyes appear a few lines of bloodshot.

Jiang Cheng thought for a while, went to the side and poured a cup of tea: "Miss Rong, drink saliva." ”

When Rong Ruo had surgery before, she could stand for more than ten hours in one breath, so she was very used to working like this, so she shook her head: "No, I'll finish the things at hand first, and you can hand me a pair of scissors." ”

Jiang Cheng really amazed Rong Ruo again and again, and admired this woman very much.

Rong Ruo's hands moved very fast, busy but not chaotic, she continued to detoxify, and let Jiang Cheng hold the prince's wrist to diagnose the pulse.

Suddenly, Jiang Cheng felt that something was wrong, his pulse was originally weak, but at this moment, there was an abnormal active beating.

Rong Ruo swept over, saw that the look on his face was wrong, and was about to ask a question, when blood suddenly gushed out from the wound.

"Miss Rong!" Jiang Cheng exclaimed.

Rong Ruo frowned, and forced himself to calm down: "Don't worry, you give the prince a heart pill, and I will stop the bleeding for him now." ”

Probably because Rong Ruo's voice was too calm, Jiang Cheng quickly calmed down and nodded: "Okay, I know." ”

Rong Ruo's petite face is resolute and calm, and her eyes are focused and cautious, meticulous.

When the bleeding stopped, Rong Ruo's poison was almost clear, but a trace of doubt appeared on his face.

Jiang Cheng happened to hand her something, and when he saw her expression, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I originally only diagnosed the prince with a hook kiss under the moon, but ......"

"What?"

As Rong Ruo spoke, he had already begun to suture, because of the limited conditions, Rong Ruo used a lot of hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent the toxin from being removed, but because the wound was inflamed and infected.

Rong Ruo pursed the corners of her lips, the lines of her side face were tense, and there was a layer of doubt written under her eyes: "There are two poisons on his body." ”

Jiang Cheng was surprised, and he hurried over to check.

Rong Ruo explained again: "His reaction just now should be caused by another poisonous stimulus. ”

When Rong Ruo tied the perfect knot, she turned to face Jiang Cheng, and her furrowed brows showed that she couldn't figure it out.

"Miss Rong, this poisonous ......"

Rong Ruo looked at him: "You can see it too." ”

Jiang Cheng sighed: "I'm ashamed, Jiang just found out." ”

"The strange thing is that I just found out that these two poisons themselves are deadly poisons, but at the same time in a person's body, they have a restraining effect, no wonder the prince has been poisoned for so long, except that his physique has become weak and cannot wake up, there are no other symptoms."

Jiang Cheng raised his head: "Why did the person who poisoned him do this." ”

Rong Ruo rubbed his eyebrows and shook his head: "I don't know." ”

She only hopes that if she saves the prince this time and clears her sins, she won't be able to affect Mu Beichen, and she can't care about the rest.

By this time it was already dark, and it was a different scene outside.

Yesterday, the emperor ordered that all palaces, without exception, be searched.

At this moment, in the Mingxiu Palace, all the maids and eunuchs stood in several columns, bowing their heads respectfully.

Zheng Zhi, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, stood in front of him, his face was serious, his eyes were concentrated, and he glanced sharply underneath.

This kind of silent scrutiny is even more depressing, and the palace maids and eunuchs look at each other, not knowing what is happening.

At this time, the incense powder gas hit, Zheng Zhi looked up, saw the person with a strict face, and saluted respectfully: "The last general will see Concubine Hui." ”

Concubine Hui heard early in the morning that a large group of Praetorian Guards had come and were searching her Mingxiu Palace, and Concubine Hui had never been soft, so she was angry on the spot.

"Commander Zheng." Concubine Hui hooked the corners of her lips with a smile, and her eyes were full of arrogance: "Didn't you go out with your eyes today?" Dare to come to the palace of the main palace to find trouble. ”

Zheng Zhi clenched his fists, his resolute jaw lowered slightly, and said: "Niangniang forgives the sin, this is the emperor's order, and the ministers dare not disobey." ”

Concubine Hui squinted her eyes and swept over: "You mean, the emperor asked you to come to check the Ming Embroidery Palace in the main palace, joke!" ”

Zheng Zhi was on an errand in the palace, and he often encountered such a scene, so he didn't panic: "Niangniang misunderstood, not only Mingxiu Palace, but other palaces also have to be searched." ”

Concubine Hui's eyes rolled, and she snorted in her nose: "Oh? Then tell me about this palace, why is it that you have spent so much time? She had already gone through it in her mind several times, and immediately connected with one thing, could it be related to the poisoning of the prince?

Thinking of the prince, the smile on the corner of Concubine Hui's mouth was even colder, but she had been looking forward to the prince's early death, her son was the current second prince Mu Liangcheng, and when the time came, the crown prince would be ......

"Niangniang, the minister only does things according to the order, and the minister doesn't know much about the rest." Zheng Zhi didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Concubine Hui's eyelids drooped, and when she turned sideways, her slender chin carved a line of contempt: "What do you want to do?" ”

Zheng Zhi clenched his fists again and said to Concubine Hui: "The minister is offended." ”

Then, Zheng Zhi raised his hand and waved it at his hand, shouting, "Roll up all their sleeves." ”

This order made Concubine Hui and the palace maids and eunuchs very puzzled, and in their confusion, some Praetorian Guards had forcibly pulled up their sleeves.

When she came to a certain palace maid in the middle row, her face turned white nervously, and her two eyes swept everywhere, showing a panic.

Zheng Zhihu was stunned, and raised his hand to point: "Drag this palace maid out!" ”

As soon as the palace maid's legs were weak, she actually knelt directly to the ground.

"Commander Zheng, I've found it!"

Zheng Zhi's spirit was shocked, and he looked at Concubine Hui very meaningfully, and happened to come over with a bag of things in his hand. Zheng Zhi raised his hand to untie it, and what was revealed inside was what he was looking for.

"Very good, bring something to the emperor immediately." After Zheng Zhi gave this order, he asked again, "Which room was found?" ”

The subordinate truthfully said: "The third room in the second row of the West Courtyard. ”

Everyone's eyes suddenly looked at the palace maid who knelt on the ground, she suddenly screamed, fell to the ground, and shouted: "It's not a slave, it's not a slave, it's Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui let the slave do it-"

Concubine Hui was still confused, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but say angrily: "You, what are you talking nonsense, what did this palace let you do?" Although she didn't know the situation yet, a bad premonition rose in her heart and she directly denied it.

This palace maid's name is Chang Zhen, and she is one of Concubine Hui's personal maids.

Chang Zhen's face was white, and her lips trembled: "Hui, Concubine Hui, how can you say that, this thing was obviously handed over by you to the slave maid, let the slave and maid put it in the room, and ...... He also said that this matter is very important, and if someone finds out, he will die, and let the slave and maid find an opportunity to bury it. ”

"!" Concubine Hui was extremely angry and kicked over: "Come on, drag her down to the palace." ”

Zheng Zhi stood up to stop it, and in addition to the respect in his tone, he was more cold and hard: "Concubine Hui, the last general thinks that it is better to go to the emperor to explain this matter clearly." ”

The Imperial Study

Emperor Mu Chu frowned and did not speak for a long time.

None of the others spoke, and the atmosphere was unsettling.

Concubine Hui knelt on the ground, and the sound of crying sounded more obvious, but the others didn't care.

"Concubine Hui." Mu Chu's deep voice sounded, which made Concubine Hui's whole body excited.

Mu Chu was angry, but there was more disappointment: "How do you explain?" ”

Concubine Hui prostrate on the ground: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged, after many years of husband and wife, the emperor should know that the concubine will never do such a thing." ”

Mu Chu closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "I found the medicine that poisoned the prince in your palace maid's room, how can I trust you?" ”
