Chapter 243: Time is Running Out
Mu Qingyan was stunned when she heard this.
Yesterday, I saw that the emperor's complexion was still good, and King's Landing said this, what's wrong with the emperor?
Yes, sometimes, the doctor's hope does not play a role, and what he sees is only superficial. Sometimes, some patients who are sick with a prescription will still have a very ruddy and good-looking complexion......
"Didn't you go to the emperor to diagnose and treat him? His medical skills are so good, the emperor should be the right medicine, what else will happen?"
When King's Landing heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he said: "I have been treating the emperor, and I haven't given up looking for an antidote, but I just received a secret report, and the emperor suddenly vomited a lot of blood and almost fell into a coma......
Hearing this, Mu Qingyan was dumbfounded, and asked: "Lin Tingsheng said that the emperor was poisoned, is that poison so powerful? If so, why don't you just arrest the Queen Mother and find out the antidote? Why, you released people yesterday?"
"Who would have thought that the people in the harem who want the emperor's life are not only the queen mother, when the king thinks that there is something wrong with the little eunuch who sent the stew, the little eunuch thinks he is dead. Where are there so many coincidences in the world, it is clear that some people don't want the little eunuch to live and kill people. King's Landing looked faint, his eyes were cold, and he said: "The little eunuch just ran into this king, and probably didn't have no life the next day, but no life on the way back." ”
"The little eunuch knows that the stewed soup is poisoned?" Mu Qingyan frowned and asked.
Who is so ruthless?
Because the little eunuch bumped into King's Landing, he was about to kill him?
"The king does not know, but the man who does it is neat and thoughtful. King's Landing eyes sank, and said: "Forget it, wipe out all traces, now not only the Queen Mother is suspicious, but Concubine Xiao is also suspicious." ”
When Mu Qingyan heard this, her head hurt, in this royal harem, those women are really not vegetarians, they are vampires at all!
If you open your mouth, you will bite, and when you bite it, it will be bloody, and you can't do anything to them.
"Is that one in a hundred miles in the palace now? will he be found in the palace...... The woman in the backyard of the palace knows about it, and she won't let go of one in a hundred!" Mu Qingyan muttered: "According to what you say, the emperor is still quite miserable, the old lady wants him to die, and the person next to the pillow also wants him to die, knowing that it is the poison that the queen mother wants to give but suffering from no evidence, the person next to the pillow is still an accomplice, and he quietly and slowly feeds him the poison...... I'm rubbing, it's horrible!"
King's Landing said: "This king has sent people to check for a long time, and Xiao Guifei seems to have taken precautions, and the people sent have not found useful news. As for the Queen Mother, only Lin Tingsheng is not enough to prove her ambition, the important thing is to ask her to take out the antidote. ”
Mu Qingyan said: "Then think about it this way, the Queen Mother is plotting to kill the emperor through Xiao Guifei? Doesn't it mean that the emperor's poison has been laid for a long time? Then they started to cooperate a long time ago to plot against the emperor! In order to ...... the throne."
After saying that, the queen mother just felt that the emperor was no longer as obedient as when she was young, so she thought of a way to kill people with chronic poison and removed the disobedient puppets.
And, Concubine Xiao Guifei wanted to push her son to the position of the Emperor of God, so she cooperated with the Queen Mother!
The Queen Mother borrowed a knife to kill people, and the blood couldn't stain her body, so if she really investigates it, the person who will be held accountable can only chase down Xiao Guifei......
"Since ancient times, the throne has been a must for members of the royal family, and it remains to be found out whether they are the only ones. King's Landing said lightly.
Mu Qingyan: "So, the emperor's poisoning, maybe there are more and bigger shady scenes?"
This is expected and unexpected.
"Well, and now I took you to the palace just to diagnose you with one of the hundred miles, what kind of degree has the emperor's body reached! It has suppressed the stable toxicity, why did he suddenly vomit blood?" Jun Lin looked at Mu Qingyan and said in a deep voice.
After listening to King's Landing's words, Mu Qingyan's head had a clear context, and the cause and effect also had a rough connection, frowning and said, "Could it be that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and someone has poisoned the emperor heavily?"
Now vomiting blood without warning, is that the Queen Mother poisoning again?
King's Landing said softly, "You guess it is possible, but it is difficult to say whether it is the Queen Mother or not. After all, she was only released from house arrest and was caught if she did something more. Then, she is shooting herself with a rock. ”
In the palace, although it is said that they are the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, there is no way to know how many eyes are hidden in the dark place.
What he doesn't know, it's even more difficult for others to know.
As for the emperor, I want to know that there are also spies around him, after all, the queen mother is the one who supports the emperor to sit in a high position, how can there be no one arranged by the queen mother around the emperor.
In the past, the emperor instructed that he had already helped get rid of some, only those who were placed by the queen mother by the emperor's side, and now I don't know that these people are too hidden.
When Mu Qingyan heard this, she was very puzzled, if King's Landing didn't know, those people's hands, the previous generation of this Daduan Dynasty would be chaotic enough.
"I wonder why the Queen Mother is so eager to get rid of the emperor so quickly?"
The emperor is also conscientious, and will seek benefits for the common people, and will not rely on the imperial power to arbitrarily increase the taxes of the common people.
The Queen Mother also enjoys supreme honor and power in the harem, is it necessary to kill the emperor?
She couldn't figure it out, Mu Qingyan frowned and pondered.
"Maybe I want more, for some people!" King's Landing's eyes flashed with mockery, and he said coldly: "But maybe in the process of killing people with a knife, the person who was picked up also had a ghost in his heart, so the emperor's life is still alive." ”
That's where the complexity comes in.
How deep the bottom of the palace harem is, it is simply difficult to probe, at least not at the moment.
None of them knew who the person who really poisoned the emperor was, and what the real purpose was. Lin Tingsheng said that the queen mother poisoned the emperor, but King's Landing suspected that Xiao Guifei, one of the women in the harem, had attacked the emperor.
The Queen Mother is now on guard against the Emperor, and Concubine Xiao is even more like a loach that does not spare her hands.
The two women said that they were all a family, and they were doing something to the emperor, but they were secretly doing one thing after another.
No one is willing to suffer a little bit of loss, for fear that in the future, the lack of power and the reduction of glory and wealth.
All counted......
Mu Qingyan felt a chill in her heart, and said: "I really don't know, how did the emperor come over all these years! Although he has power in his hands, he has to be vigilant everywhere, why hasn't he removed all the troubles around him?"
King's Landing said lightly: "He has thought about it, and he has done it, but he can't get rid of it, and the sequelae are like mushrooms after a rain." The words fell, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"I was taken away by Ouyang Yu in the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace before, and the Empress Dowager said that she didn't know, do you believe it?" Mu Qingyan flashed something and said.
King's Landing: "This king has never believed her words, and if he did, he would have been out of this world for a long time." ”
Mu Qingyan nodded, and said, "I always feel that there is the queen mother's eyeliner by my side?" I always feel that there is a hand in the dark that pushes me forward, and the purpose is to make me disappear. ”
"The king has also been wondering who can know the whereabouts of this king. It seems that every time you have an accident, this king is either not in the capital or has something important to do. King's Landing said in a deep voice.
"Later, let's enter the palace, will others know? Will it be ......" Mu Qingyan listened to King's Landing's words, and her brows furrowed even deeper.
"Don't worry, we are all walking through secret passages, and the emperor can't let others know if something happens. King's Landing's eyes sank.
Hearing this, Mu Qingyan nodded, the emperor vomited blood and was about to break the peace shown by the Daduan Dynasty, and the people hiding behind him couldn't help it after all.
"Then I'll rest for a while, and call me when it's time!"
"Good!"
The carriage walked for a long time, and it didn't stop until Mu Qingyan was sleepy.
"Arrived?" Mu Qingyan opened her eyes a little tiredly, and her whole body was nestled in King's Landing's arms.
"Well, I'll carry you down!"
Hearing this, Zhang Heng immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage, and King's Landing picked up Mu Qingyan and walked out, and walked down from the carriage.
Mu Qingyan saw that the road in front of her had never been walked, but before she could see clearly, King's Landing had already carried her through a stone gate and walked into the emperor's bedroom.
The Emperor was half-leaning on the dragon bed, and when he saw King's Landing's cold face, he smiled and said, "You know so fast!"
"Do you know who did it?" King Lin put Mu Qingyan down and asked coldly.
The Emperor shook his head and said, "If I knew, how could I be poisoned?"
King's Landing listened, his eyes darkened.
As soon as he saw Mu Qingyan coming, he stepped forward and told him the details, and then the two communicated together for a while.
When Mu Qingyan heard this, her brows furrowed even deeper, and then she stepped forward to check for the emperor.
It's okay not to check, I always feel that the emperor is a very healthy person, but when I checked, she was really scared, the emperor's inner body has already been overdrawn, and many internal organs in the body are very weak like an old man about seventy years old.
However, the emperor is only in his forties, so how can he age so quickly in the prime of life?
Mu Qingyan frowned, took out a silver needle, took the emperor's finger, pricked it with the silver needle, and then squeezed out some blood into the potion bottle she brought.
The point is that the blood that was just released to him was highly poisonous, turning all the potions she brought into the black ......
At this moment, she could really be sure that it was a miracle that the emperor was still alive.
"The emperor still has the original toxin in his body, and the reason why he vomits blood today is probably because of the suppression of the medicine he took, which caused this strange poison to fight against the two drugs and then injured the emperor. ”
Mu Qingyan said, paused for a moment, and said: "The emperor is a little worried, his pulse is weak and disturbed, is there something important in his heart?"
"Sure enough, he is a skilled doctor, and he can know what I am thinking according to his pulse!" The emperor's eyes flashed with surprise, and then, with a faint smile, "Is my poison not saved?"
Mu Qingyan looked at the emperor and was silent for a while.
One of the hundred miles did not speak.
After a long time, Mu Qingyan spoke: "The emperor is recuperating with peace of mind, and I will find a way to deal with the virus." ”
When the emperor heard this, he knew it in his heart, but his expression did not have the fear of knowing that his life was imminent, but he was a little more indifferent, and said: "I have been conscientious all my life, for the sake of others, sitting on the throne, I have always felt guilty in my heart......"
"That's not your fault! The Queen Mother wouldn't let me sit in this position at that time, she was wary of me. King's Landing lightly interrupted the emperor's words and continued: "Don't think about this in the future, it's good for you to be an emperor!"
The room fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere was a little eerie.
Mu Qingyan listened to this, lowered her eyes and pondered, and saw that King's Landing's eyes fluctuated, as if she had thought of something exciting.
The look of the hundred miles is calm, as if it is not surprised at all.
"I'll open a pharmacy, let's take the decoction first!" Mu Qingyan glanced at the Emperor and King's Landing, and couldn't help but sigh and said.
"Hmm!" the emperor stretched out his hand and patted it in the air, and then, out of thin air, a secret guard appeared out of thin air, took the prescription prescribed by Mu Qingyan and disappeared.
"The emperor can't take the medicine I prescribed. He said in a deep voice.
King's Landing raised his eyebrows, but the Emperor was surprised and asked, "I feel that after taking your medicine, my body and spirit are much better, why can't I take it again?"
As soon as he remembered the result of the discussion with Mu Qingyan just now, he opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "The emperor has often used my medicine during this time, and the toxins in the body have become accustomed to the efficacy of my medicine, and now they are starting to fight back, and those toxins are afraid that they will be even more powerful." ”
This is also something he didn't expect, at the beginning, he only checked that the toxins in the emperor's body were very powerful, but he had never encountered toxins that were so domineering and could create their own resistance pharmacology.
"What will happen to the Emperor if he stops taking the medicine?" asked King's Landing.
Hearing this, he was silent for a while, and said: "Toxins will accelerate the invasion of every inch of health in the body, don't give it, just now the fourth princess prescribed a new prescription, I have seen that the prescription will be better than the one I prescribed." ”
King's Landing listened, his eyes sank, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.
When the emperor heard this, he said, "What you mean is that as long as you take the medicine prescribed by the fourth princess, the toxins in my body can still be suppressed, but only suppressed, and what you get is not a radical cure but delaying time!"
When he heard this, he was silent.
The emperor didn't answer, so he moved his gaze to Mu Qingyan's face.
Mu Qingyan suddenly didn't dare to look at the emperor's eyes, turned her head sideways to avoid the emperor's gaze, and then nodded.
There are too many toxins in the emperor's body, too long, if you can't find the antidote, you can't find the antibodies that can remove the toxins from the emperor's body, then the emperor is going to die.
As for when they will die, it depends on when the effect of the medicine they prescribe will be invalid, and at that time, even if they have the heart, they will not be able to return to heaven.
"Ahem......"
Suddenly, the emperor coughed, his heart was broken, and he was lying on the bed coughing, and a pile of blood flowed from his palm on the ground.
Seeing this, Mu Qingyan's heart jumped suddenly, and she hurriedly took out a silver needle and quickly applied the needle on the lying emperor with the help of one in a hundred.
One of the hundred miles was not idle, and after helping the emperor to lie down, he helped dredge the meridians so that the emperor was not so uncomfortable......
After such a toss, it was not until the evening that the emperor's condition was stabilized, and King's Landing left with Mu Qingyan.
In the winter, Mu Qingyan's tired underwear was soaked, and when she left the emperor's bedroom, she wrapped her whole body in a cloak and was still freezing.
Fortunately, King's Landing hugged and left, otherwise, she really cried without tears.
"You can go back to the mansion soon, do you want to sleep for a while?" King's Landing thoughtfully took Mu Qingyan in his arms and lay down, and asked.
Mu Qingyan spoke tiredly and said softly: "I don't want to sleep, my clothes are wet and sticky, and it's uncomfortable." ”
"Zhang Heng!" said Jun Lin.
"Yes, what does the master command?" Zhang Heng, who was outside the carriage, heard this and immediately replied.
"Hurry up and get back to the house!"
"Yes!"
As soon as the words fell, the carriage was more than twice as fast as before.
Mu Qingyan lay in King's Landing's arms, looking up at him, although the whole person was very tired, she really didn't feel sleepy.
The Emperor's words were repeated in her mind, and the meaning was definitely extremely informative, no wonder the Emperor would be so indulgent and never suppress King's Landing.
However, the Queen Mother couldn't wait to suppress King's Landing, and the Queen Mother was so good to the people of the Lin family that it was unbelievably good.
After all, the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Lin family seems to be really a party for personal gain, like a sign of rebellion, which is a reverse scale in the emperor's heart, so the emperor does everything possible to get out of the Queen Mother's right-hand man.
However, the Queen Mother is not a vegetarian, and the emperor clearly knows what will be caused by resisting the Queen Mother, but the emperor still did it.
This is a joke on life!
The emperor did this, as if it was for the last wishes of his predecessors, but it was for King's Landing's biological mother? Or rather, the emperor knew far more than that, so he wanted to empty the power of the queen mother.
The Empress Dowager raised the emperor, and it was impossible for the emperor not to know what kind of danger he would encounter if he wanted to give the empress dowager's confidants to the empress dowager to empty power first.
However, the emperor still chose to do it, so this thing is definitely not simple.
Whenever the Emperor wanted to say it, King's Landing didn't want to say it......
Why?
"Why did the Queen Mother find Jun Ao to be the emperor?" Mu Qingyan was full of questions, and asked as she looked at Jun Lining.
"There are always people to sit on this throne, and at that time, the princes in the royal family, only Jun Ao and this king are left to die. King's Landing said.
When Mu Qingyan heard this, she was suddenly startled, and she was startled by the words of Don't King's Landing, and said, "You say...... Are you and the emperor the only ones left?"
King's Landing's eyes became even more gloomy, and he said: "Yes, there are only two princes left, the king and the emperor, and besides, looking at your expression, almost all the princes of the previous generation have been killed!"
When Mu Qingyan heard this, she was stunned, and she was stunned for a while before she said, "You mean, the only princes of the previous generation are you and the emperor Junao!"
Her gaze fell on King's Landing, her expression shocked, and her words reminded her of the royal power struggles in history......
The emperor should have been in power for more than ten years, and I heard Mu Rin say that back then, King's Landing was just a child of about ten years old.
Looking at the Queen Mother's methods and actions now, how difficult it was for King's Landing to survive back then...... Thinking of this, Mu Qingyan's heart couldn't help but soften, and she suddenly raised her head and kissed his cheek.
Jun Lin was kissed like this, and the gloomy aura surrounding his body dissipated a lot, and he said: "Jun Ao has always been an idle cloud and wild crane, and he has explained from the beginning that he doesn't want to be an emperor, but ......" paused, and his eyes suddenly turned extremely cold.
"No matter what the price is, this king will find an antidote, and none of those people will be spared. ”
Shocked by the cold tears that condensed around him again, Mu Qingyan hugged him gently and said, "One in a hundred miles is in the palace, you don't have to worry." ”
At this time, the only thing she could say was such comfort.
King's Landing looked at her with lowered eyes, and asked matter-of-factly, "How long does the emperor have to live?"
Mu Qingyan raised her eyes and looked at King's Landing, her expression was solemn, and she was silent for a while and said: "If there is no accident, there is still a year, if the antidote is not found during this period of time, even the divine doctor will be difficult to treat." ”
The emperor's illness, she never intended to hide it from King's Landing, and she also knew that she couldn't hide it from King's Landing, so she still told the truth.
Hearing this, King's Landing's eyes were filled with a hint of coolness, and he said, "If you find an antidote, you can cure the disease?"
Mu Qingyan: "...... The toxins in the emperor's body were eroded too badly, and they were discovered too late, even if the antidote was found and the poison was removed, the internal mechanisms of the body had already been destroyed. It's just to prolong the emperor's life!"
"How long will you live......" King's Landing's expression was cold, but his voice was heavy.
"If the body is well conditioned and calm, it will not be a problem for three or five years. ”
Hearing this, there was a touch of depression in King's Landing's eyes, then, it is a problem to say that more than three or five years, the emperor earns it by living one more day.
"What if we don't find a cure?"
"Anytime like today. "Without warning, without preparation, no one knows when the emperor will vomit blood again, or even die.
"Is there any other way to detoxify?"
When Mu Qingyan heard this, her eyes flashed, and she thought about it cautiously before she spoke: "Yes, but it is very dangerous. ”
"How?" asked King's Landing in a deep voice.
"Change the blood! change the whole body!" Mu Qingyan frowned solemnly and said: "And you must find a blood type match, but this probability is not high, and at the same time, the emperor is more likely to die unexpectedly on the way to exchange blood." ”
"Is this the thing that Baili has been difficult to say to this king?" King's Landing's eyes flashed, and he asked, "This is also the case that he went to you for earlier. ”
Mu Qingyan nodded and said, "One day he came to me for this matter, but I vetoed it, and because of this, I thought of a certain herb, and I went to the back mountain of Fahua Temple to find a herb called Washing Herb." I just didn't think ......"
"It's just that I didn't expect that the herbs were not found, but instead I found your grandfather, and I also saw what this king never wanted you to see. King's Landing's voice was cold, and his eyes darkened.
When Mu Qingyan heard this, her expression was a little tangled, and she said, "Is it possible that someone deliberately led me some......where?"
It's too appropriate, if someone deliberately asked her to go somewhere, then, she must know the emperor's physical condition, and she must know that there is such an herb, and ......
You also need to know that King's Landing was at the bottom of the valley at that time, but that valley was covered with Qimen gossip, and it was difficult to find it at all.
Could it be that the driving force behind the scenes knows everything about her and King's Landing?
"Impossible, how is this possible, if you really know all of our conditions, then how can it be just this little fight!" Mu Qingyan's heart was full of doubts.
Hearing this, King's Landing frowned, took her in his arms, put his chin on the top of her hair, and said softly, "Don't think about it, take a rest." ”
Mu Qingyan nodded, but after a while, she fell asleep in a daze.
King's Landing looked at her tired little face, her eyes unpredictable, deep and long......
