Chapter 24: Poisonous Things

"So, what about the princess?"

"We have hired many famous doctors one after another, but all of them have been completely useless."

"According to the doctors, the poison in the princess now should be a mixture of many highly poisonous substances, and a simple method is not enough to detoxify it."

"Unless ......"

Wu Ben was halfway through his words, but suddenly stopped.

"Go on, unless it's something to do?"

"As long as there is a way to save Liu Qiaoer, I will never give up."

Mu Rong's face was calm, and he had already made up his mind in secret.

He won't let Liu Qiao'er die like this, no matter whether this woman is loyal to him or not, she is his own woman.

Letting one's woman be easily taken away from her is not something that a man, especially a king, should do.

"I heard that there is a famous doctor in Kyoto, known as the Holy Hand of the Divine Doctor, whose strength is extraordinary, if you can invite him to go out of the mountain, maybe you can make the whole thing turn around."

"But to be honest, I don't think there's any possibility."

"The princess's illness has reached a life-and-death juncture, and it is estimated that it will not be delayed for too long, and if you go to Kyoto again and then come back, it will be too much time to waste too much time."

"Besides, as a king, if you want to go back to Kyoto, you must get the permission of the Son of Heaven in advance, and if you go to ask for instructions in advance, you will waste a lot of time before you get the results."

Wu Ben shook his head slowly, not wanting Mu Rong to make such a decision at this time.

After hearing this, Mu Rong almost did not hesitate, and immediately began to move.

"Since it's too much time to come and go, then I'll take Liu Qiao'er to Kyoto together."

"As for the Son of Heaven...... I will also send someone to greet me in advance, and when I arrive in Kyoto, the edict of the Son of Heaven should also come down. ”

Mu Rong bowed slightly, and directly began to ask people to clean up and salute.

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not possible! ”

"Before the edict of the Son of Heaven, he started to set off privately, even when King Mu arrived, the Son of Heaven still agreed, which is also a disaster for King Mu!"

"Not to mention ......"

"That's it!"

"I've made up my mind and won't make any other changes."

Mu Rong did not hesitate, and had already started to leave that night.

According to Mu Rong's original plan, let Ji Chong take the first step, enter Kyoto alone, and report to the Son of Heaven, while he took the unconscious Liu Qiao'er and followed the carriage.

In this way, when he and Liu Qiao'er arrived in Kyoto, the Son of Heaven should have known the corresponding situation.

On the carriage, Mu Rong checked Liu Qiaoer's current condition a little, and his face became a lot gloomy.

Today's Liu Qiaoer has always had a high fever, her skin is flushed, and her forehead is extremely hot.

What's even more strange is that on Liu Qiaoer's body, there is a black and purple mark, like a swimming dragon, which keeps emerging on the skin with breathing.

This mark is not a tattoo or birthmark, but an acquired appearance, but I am afraid, and it is probably closely related to this poisoning incident.

As time gradually passed, even Mu Rong himself did not know how long Liu Qiaoer could continue to hold on.

The more serious situation was that when the two arrived in Kyoto, they did not receive any news.

In other words, even if Ji Chong had already taken the lead, most of them had already seen the Son of Heaven now, but the Son of Heaven did not agree to let Mu Rong take Liu Qiao'er into Kyoto.

"If the king of a foreign country enters Kyoto without the edict of the Son of Heaven......"

"This is a major crime suspected of rebellion, and I hope King Mu will think twice!"

Wu Ben, who came with him, also hurriedly advised.

"For the sake of a woman, it's really not worth entrusting the future of Mu Wangfu to all of it!"

Wu Ben kept opening his mouth to persuade him, hoping that Mu Rong could continue to wait.

In Wu Ben's opinion, maybe it's just that the Son of Heaven got the news late, so he hasn't had time to issue the edict, maybe he can wait for a while longer, and he can wait for the edict of the Son of Heaven.

However, Mu Rong could feel that on the Son of Heaven's side, it was estimated that he would not answer him for a while.

This is most likely also a test for the Son of Heaven, as a king, after all, he has just ascended the throne, and he has not yet fully won the trust of the Son of Heaven.

In the absence of an order from the Son of Heaven, would he be willing to comply with the rules, or would he choose to defy the imperial power?

This is a great opportunity to let the Son of Heaven know his truest thoughts.

If it were someone else, most of them would have already given up.

After all, between the life and death of the entire Mu Wangfu, and a woman, it is estimated that many people can make decisions quickly.

But Mu Rong did not hesitate and directly ordered to go to Kyoto.

The moment he entered Kyoto, he had already committed the crime of beheading.

And for this matter, Mu Rong had to think about it later, and now for himself, the most important thing is still to find a way to save Liu Qiaoer.

Soon, Mu Rong, under the leadership of others, found the so-called Holy Hand of the Divine Doctor.

This is an old man with gray hair, but his body is very tough, and his eyes are still bright, it can be seen that he must be extraordinary.

"Please also ask my seniors to save my wife, she is highly poisoned, and her life is already on the line!"

"When it comes to money, I can satisfy my seniors!"

Mu Rong immediately stepped forward to ask for help, after all, the old man in front of him was already the last hope for himself and Liu Qiaoer.

"No matter what the illness is, the old man will only charge a penny, which will remain unchanged for ten thousand years."

"What really makes the old man care is that you should not be an ordinary person, looking at your appearance, you must also be a high-ranking official, right?"

The old man smiled and shook his head.

"I swore that whether it was an ordinary person, a high-ranking official or an aristocrat, I would treat everyone equally, it didn't matter, just let me see the patient first."

After that, Mu Rong took the old man to the carriage and asked the old man to carefully check Liu Qiaoer's illness.

"It's ......"

"Gu Poison...... I really didn't expect that after so many years, there were still people using this kind of thing. ”

"This Gu poison itself came from the Western Regions, and later fused with some Gu worms in the south, and under the deliberate cultivation of people with intentions, it became an almost hopeless poison."

"And once the Gu poison is in the body, it means that almost all of this life has entered hell."

"Even if the old man doesn't know the ingredients of the Gu poison at all, if he wants to rescue, there is only a few success rates."
