Chapter 295 Zhen Guogong was poisoned
In the next two days, Zhen Guogong never went to the court, Wei Jiuyuan noticed it, asked people to inquire about the news, and the secret guard came back to report that Zhen Guogong had not left the house for the past two days, and no one came to the door.
"So what does he mean by that? Expressing displeasure with His Highness? Liu Shan touched his chin thoughtfully.
Wei Jiuyuan smiled, "Yes, Zhenguo Gong has always been upright and loyal, so naturally he doesn't look down on me." β
"Why should Your Highness be arrogant? Dayan has the ability to get it, and if he doesn't have the ability, he can only sulk. Liu Shan glanced at Wei Jiuyuan disapprovingly.
Wei Jiuyuan shook his head and smiled without saying a word.
However, at noon, Zhen Guogong's henchmen hurriedly entered the palace with a token and asked the imperial doctor to save his life.
Wei Jiuyuan received the news and immediately summoned him.
After Deng Zhou entered the imperial study, he did not squint, and saluted: "The lowly Deng Zhou has seen the Second Highness." β
"No courtesy." Wei Jiuyuan sat behind the bookcase and asked worriedly: "Two days ago, Guogong was ruddy and full of energy, why did he suddenly pass on the imperial doctor today?" β
Deng Zhou's face changed, gritted his teeth and said: "It's not that someone poisoned Guogong's tea, the poison is colorless and tasteless, Guogong didn't notice it for a while, and after drinking it, the abdominal cramp was unbearable, and he vomited a mouthful of blood, fortunately, there was a doctor in the house, and he barely hung Guogong's life, but his medical skills were not good, and he couldn't see what poison it was, so his wife sent a lowly post into the palace to invite the imperial doctor." β
He glanced at Wei Jiuyuan, kowtowed, and said, "Please Your Highness, save the life of the Duke of the Kingdom!" β
His tone was eager and resentful, and it didn't seem like a fake.
Wei Jiuyuan's mind was racing, "Madame, can you name which imperial doctor?" β
"No, but I must be more skilled."
"Someone come, go to pass on Imperial Doctor Zheng, and the palace will go with him to visit the Duke of Guo."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Deng Zhou glanced at Wei Jiuyuan gratefully, Wei Jiuyuan waved his hand to let him get up, and when he went out, Deng Zhou walked behind him and silently clenched his hands.
If he goes with him, the plan is not good, but he is not allowed to go, for fear that it will make him suspicious, how is this still good?
The group got into the carriage and went to the Zhenguo Mansion in a mighty way, which alarmed the eyelines of all parties, and Jindu became lively again.
And the sensational Zhenguo Justice was lying in bed and didn't know what to do.
Mrs. Wu stood on the edge of the bed and looked at him, her willow eyebrows tightened, and she took a wet handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead a little bit.
"Does this poison really not have any effect?"
She turned her head to look at Xin Ying.
Xin Ying shook his head: "Madam, don't worry, this poison is refined by the medical masters in our secret guard, there is a corresponding antidote, and you will be fine if you eat it." It's just that the process is a little sinful, Madame forgive me. β
Mrs. Wu sighed: "How can you see and forgive, this is also a last resort, if there is another way, there is no need for him to go on it personally, if the plan is successful, what is the crime of suffering?" β
"Madame understands righteousness, Xin Ying admires it." Xin Ying threw his hand at her.
Mrs. Wu smiled, "I'll go changeβ"
"Second Highness, Madame may be inside, and the lowly will go first to report it."
Mrs. Wu was startled, turned her head and glanced at Xin Ying, and whispered, "Hide!" β
Xin Ying nodded, and hid under the bed as originally planned.
Mrs. Wu quickly glanced twice, and made sure that she couldn't see it from the outside, so she gathered up her clothes and turned to go out.
Just when Deng Zhou came to knock on the door, she opened it directly, and the two exchanged glances quietly.
"The Imperial Doctor is here?"
Mrs. Wu made a gesture to look outside, and Deng Zhou turned sideways and said, "Madam, His Royal Highness is worried about the Duke of the Kingdom, and he is also here." β
Mrs. Wu immediately greeted her, and Wei Jiuyuan arched her hand at her: "It's the palace that is bothering." β
"Second Highness is polite, it's a cold day, why are you embarrassed to bother you to run?"
"The prince of the country is the pillar of the country, and he was suddenly poisoned, and the palace was so worried, he really couldn't sit idly by."
Saying that, he said to Imperial Physician Zheng behind him: "Go in and take a good look at Guogong." β
"Yes."
Mrs. Wu glanced at him, "Imperial Doctor Zheng, pleaseβ"
Everyone entered the inner room, and first smelled a strong smell of medicine, Wei Jiuyuan raised his eyebrows, and Mrs. Wu said apologetically: "The decoction has been continuous these days, and the smell in the house is not good, Your Highness forgive me." β
"It doesn't matter." Wei Jiuyuan waved his hand and followed in to look at the person on the bed.
Zhenguo Gong is tall and mighty, because he is away all the year round, his complexion is quite dark, but now he looks a lot whiter, his cheeks are slightly sunken, and his eyes are blue and black, and he looks like his life is not long.
Wei Jiuyuan was shocked, was he really poisoned?
Mrs. Wu sighed, her eyes were red when she said that she was red, "Guogong doesn't know who he offended, and he actually tried to kill him with such a poisonous hand!" I don't understand those things in the court, but your Highness knows why? β
Wei Jiuyuan: "......"
No matter how you look at it, this is his biggest suspicion.
He coughed lightly and glanced at Mrs. Wu inquiringly, and Mrs. Wu looked at him innocently, as if she was really just asking casually.
Wei Jiuyuan lowered his eyes to absorb his emotions, and said helplessly: "Recently, the DPRK and China have been turbulent, people's hearts are fluctuating, and the palace doesn't know who did it, can the person who poisoned him be caught?" β
Mrs. Wu said hatefully: "That thief ran away after being poisoned in the morning, and Guogong was only poisoned today, and when we wanted to arrest someone, we would have run away long ago!" β
"Oh?" The word Wei Jiuyuan has a rich meaning, and Mrs. Wu just didn't hear it.
The two fell silent, and Imperial Physician Zheng frowned and took the pulse of Zhen Guogong.
Xin Ying under the bed breathed very slowly, pricking up his ears to listen to the movement outside.
"Second Highness, go down to the warm pavilion and wait, the smell of medicine here is smoky and hurts your body."
Mrs. Wu glanced at Imperial Physician Zheng and said, "We'll have to wait for a while." β
Wei Jiuyuan hesitated, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard.
"Mother, how is Dad?"
Du Shenzhi hurried back, saw Wei Jiuyuan stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted, "Weichen has seen His Highness." β
"The prince is back."
"That's right, you take the Second Highness to the warm pavilion to rest, and I'll send someone to inform you when there is a result here."
Du Shenzhi understood, "Second Highness, please-"
Wei Jiuyuan glanced back, thought for a moment, and said to Du Shen: "Okay." β
When the two left, Mrs. Wu gave Deng Zhou a look, and Deng Zhou immediately went to close the door.
Imperial Physician Zheng was still engrossed in taking the pulse and found no abnormality.
Mrs. Wu quietly walked behind him and whispered, "Imperial Doctor Zheng." β
"Huh?" Imperial Physician Zheng turned his head suspiciously, and the next moment he was hit by a dagger across his neck.
His eyes widened suddenly, and he opened his mouth to shout, but Xin Ying immediately pointed at his acupuncture points, and he couldn't make a sound at all.
"Imperial Doctor Zheng, I don't mean to offend, I just want you to do a small favor, and I'll let you go after the matter is done."
Imperial Physician Zheng's eyes rolled wildly, and he was panicked.
How did you leave? Leave sideways?
β¦β¦
A quarter of an hour later, the door of the bedroom opened, and Deng Zhou walked briskly to the warm pavilion next door.
