Chapter 458: Poison
As soon as Su Mu arrived, all the imperial doctors were controlled by the imperial guards, and he had enough space to treat the emperor.
First, he took the emperor's pulse. After Su Mu felt the emperor's pulse, his brows were tightly furrowed.
Murong Huai and his men have already come in, but the Queen and her men are still being held outside.
Without saying too much, Su Mu began to give the emperor acupuncture. After looking at his pupils, he took out the silver needles. The emperor's upper body clothes were removed, and the silver needles were densely packed on his body and head.
At the same time, Su Mu wrote a prescription and asked Murong Huai to arrange someone he trusted to prepare the medicine to detoxify the emperor.
The poison that the emperor was infected with was indeed a charm poison, and it was an extremely powerful one.
After doing all this, Su Mu finally had time to explain everything to Murong Huai.
Just at this moment, the commander of the imperial guards came in.
He knelt at Murong Huai's feet and reported:
"Your Highness, Prince Xun, I have followed your instructions and have gone to the Heavenly Prison. As you expected, someone was trying to kill Concubine Li. I arrived just in time and have rescued them, but Concubine Li was stabbed twice and her life is in danger. The assassin also bit his tongue and committed suicide, so he could not be saved."
The Queen must have known that the situation was not right, so she wanted to kill Concubine Li to silence her.
Once Concubine Li died, there was no evidence to prove her guilt. In this way, no one could testify against them, and their charges were greatly reduced.
"Where's Concubine Li? Can she be saved?"
Murong Huai must kill the Queen and Murong Rui in one move, and Concubine Li is a crucial figure.
Only if she is alive can the Queen be convicted of murdering the Emperor, and she will never be able to turn things around.
"Someone has been assigned to treat him, but the situation isn't very good." The commander of the imperial guards was a little embarrassed.
Su Mu took out a porcelain bottle, poured out two black pills, and gave them to the commander of the imperial guards.
"Give it to her. This is the Huizhuan Pill. It's very effective in stopping bleeding. It should be able to save her life."
Su Mu knew without even looking that it was due to excessive blood loss.
The commander of the imperial guards took the pill and immediately ran out to save people.
"Dr. Su, it's really thanks to you being here!" Murong Huai thanked God.
"You don't have to be polite, Prince Xun. It's my duty." Su Mu still had to bow his head in front of the imperial power.
Moreover, he didn't want the country to fall into the hands of a fool, otherwise the people would suffer.
"By the way, little doctor, what's the situation with my father?"
Murong Huai watched Su Mu's operations and his brows were so tight that he could pretend to be a dead fly.
Su Mu drank a cup of tea slowly and explained:
"Thankfully, my master and I have traveled extensively for several years and have seen and heard a lot. On the border of our Jin State, there's a place called Southern Xinjiang. It's a very mysterious place. The people of Southern Xinjiang are good at using poisons, and one of them, called Huarong, is particularly famous. It's a kind of Gu poison that will make the victim extremely lustful in a short period of time and easily seduced by beauty.
Furthermore, this poison requires a Gu worm to control it. This Gu worm can cloud his mind, forcing him to do many things it wants him to do. If he subconsciously resists, he will suffer heart-wrenching pain. He may be conscious, but his actions will still be in accordance with the Gu worm's instructions."
After Su Mu said this, Murong Huai could understand why his father had behaved abnormally in the past few months.
It turns out that she was manipulated. No wonder the queen could produce an edict written by her father himself.
Fortunately, his father was alert and gave him the imperial guards token in advance, otherwise he would have been in big trouble.
After Murong Rui seizes power, the ending that awaits him will not be a good one. He will not die, but he will suffer a lot.
"Then, little doctor, can you cure this poison?"
Murong Huai still didn't want anything to happen to his father.
Su Mu nodded:
"What a coincidence! My master's wife is from Southern Xinjiang. She should be able to remove this Gu, but the most important thing is to protect Concubine Li. She is the one who holds the Gu, and her insect is needed to remove it. Please ask Prince Xun to bring my master's wife to the palace!"
Doctor Sun and his wife now live in the private house they bought for Sun Ling'er. They can just go and bring Grandma Ye Qingwu into the palace.
Concubine Li took Su Mu's medicine and saved her life. Now we just have to wait for her to wake up.
The queen received a series of bad news and she couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.
It's over, it's all over. This time, her plan might fail, and the Duke Tang's Mansion will be implicated as well.
The emperor's father has not woken up yet, so Murong Huai cannot deal with the queen and her son directly now. He can only put them under house arrest temporarily and wait for the emperor's father to wake up and then wait for his decision.
Su Mu said that the emperor was seriously injured this time and the loss was really serious. Even if the poison was removed, he would probably not live for many years.
Murong Huai nodded. This result was the best one. It was almost the same ending as the original novel, except for a different process.
Murong Huai ordered that Eunuch Lu be released from the prison. After Eunuch Lu came out, the first thing he did was to kneel in front of Murong Huai and tell a story.
"One month after the previous Crown Prince passed away, the Emperor drafted a crown prince edict, appointing Prince Xun Murong Huai as the Crown Prince. The edict is hidden behind the plaque in the Purple Palace that reads 'Diligence for the People.'"
This was the emperor's order to Eunuch Lu, that if an uncontrollable situation arose, he should bring out the imperial edict and directly let the seventh prince take power.
But unexpectedly, the queen and her son directly controlled the emperor, threw him into prison, and replaced him with their own people.
Fortunately, the queen was not so crazy as to execute him directly.
In the Sky Prison, Eunuch Lu was trembling with fear all day long. He also knew very well that at this time, he should not talk about the imperial edict anymore, for fear of bringing disaster upon himself.
But now that he has been released, the first thing he does is to help Prince Xun become the crown prince.
Ye Qingwu was soon summoned into the palace. After Concubine Li woke up, she cooperated and handed over the insect. However, after being questioned and asked who asked her to do so, Concubine Li did not answer. There was a deadly poison hidden in her fingernails. After handing over the insect, she immediately committed suicide by taking the poison and refused to confess the Queen's crime.
Murong Huai guessed that the Queen still had some evidence against her, so she was unwilling to reveal the mastermind until her death.
Ye Qingwu successfully cured the emperor of the poison of Huarong, and with the help of Su Mu's miraculous healing skills, he successfully extended his life.
However, he was too weak to wake up for a while.
Murong Huai ascended the throne of the crown prince and naturally became the regent, temporarily taking charge of state affairs.
The matter came to an end, and Murong Huai was the biggest beneficiary of this incident.
On the contrary, Murong Rui was doomed to fail, and Murong Sheng had already lost half the battle the moment he announced Murong Huai as the crown prince.
But he still refused to accept and was unwilling to give in.
If nothing unexpected happens, after the emperor wakes up, he will have to go to his fiefdom and will no longer be allowed to stay in the capital.
Gu Yue was already five months pregnant and had difficulty moving around. She was also unaware of the situation in the palace, but when the news of Murong Huai being appointed crown prince came out, she also knew that she would have no chance of becoming queen.
