Chapter 23 Ruirui is poisoned



Li Mu returned to his usual boring work of signing in.

Finding genius.

Forget it!

This is a painful thing.

Waste of time and still can't find it.

"Eunuch Li, Concubine Zhen is looking for you."

That day, Li Mu had just finished sweeping the front yard when a eunuch in blue quietly walked in, looked around, and said to Li Mu.

"Oh! I'll be right there."

Li Mu said.

After so many years, he finally got the title of father-in-law from Little Leo.

It all starts with wearing a green robe.

Father-in-law, it sounds awkward no matter how you listen to it.

"Eunuch Li, I'm leaving now. Concubine Zhen has instructed us not to disturb others."

After the blue-robed eunuch finished his instructions, he quietly left Shouning Palace.

He looked around when leaving the palace.

Li Mu was puzzled.

What is Concubine Zhen going to do?

He had met Concubine Zhen twice and she was very gentle.

Never cause trouble!

There's not much fighting.

Putting down the broom, Li Mu straightened his clothes and quietly walked out of Jingning Palace.

Eunuchs in green robes have much more freedom to come and go than those in blue and gray robes.

Not long after leaving Shouning Palace, Li Mu's heart skipped a beat.

"Something happened to Ruirui!"

He quickened his pace.

Ruirui fought for the green robe for Li Mu so that Li Mu could play with her anytime.

As a result, Li Mu only wore the green robe for a few days.

Before I could take the initiative to find Ruirui to play, Ruirui got into trouble first.

He rushed into the palace in two or three steps and bowed to the woman in the center of the palace.

"Eunuch Li is here, no need to be polite. Come and see Ruirui! She was just dizzy just now, but now..."

Concubine Zhen said anxiously.

Following Concubine Zhen, he quickly entered the bedroom.

On the bed, Ruirui's lips were black, white bubbles were coming out of the corners of her mouth, and her breathing was weak.

"This is poisoning. What did Ruirui eat today?"

Li Mu asked.

At the same time, he grabbed Ruirui's wrist and took her pulse. While taking her pulse, Li Mu transferred his true Qi into Ruirui's body to protect her internal organs.

"As usual, I had some fruit and cakes."

The palace maid next to her answered.

"Where are those fruit cakes?"

"Here... Hey. They were all here just now, how come they're gone?"

The maid looked around but couldn't find any pastries.

Even the few remaining fruits in the fruit bowl disappeared.

"Eunuch Li, do you have any ideas?"

Concubine Zhen said anxiously.

After so many years in the palace, she is a neighbor of Shouning Palace.

She was amazed by Li Mu's erudition and talent, which he displayed from time to time.

Whenever the eunuchs and maids in the palace had a headache or fever, they would go to Li Mu for a checkup.

Anyway, the Imperial Medical Service doesn't pay much attention to them.

Over time, Concubine Zhen would also look for Li Mu when she was sick.

Often, Li Mu would cure the disease after taking two doses of medicine.

"Yes, go get the medicine according to the prescription I wrote!"

"Quick, get some pen and ink!"

Li Mu turned around and glanced at the eunuchs and palace maids around him, then walked to the table, picked up a pen and wrote down a series of medicine names.

In addition to the amount of medicine, even the order and temperature of decocting the medicine are written on it.

Behind him, another eunuch in green robe left with the prescription.

Li Mu winked at Concubine Zhen.

The other palace maids and eunuchs were dismissed.

"What's wrong?"

"Princess Ruirui was poisoned."

Li Mu said solemnly.

Another palace fight.

I never thought that this group of cruel people would actually attack a little girl.

Ruirui couldn't possibly compete for the throne.

Concubine Zhen did not compete for favor.

"What!"

Concubine Zhen suddenly stood up and shouted.

"Your Majesty, please keep your voice down. Princess Ruirui might get sucked into the vortex."

Li Mu reminded.

"They've already attacked Ruirui, how can I..."

"Your Majesty is anxious, I understand. Please rest assured, the princess will be fine."

Li Mu explained with a frown.

Let’s comfort Concubine Zhen first and talk about other things later.

There's no rush anyway.

Then, Li Mu controlled the true energy to circulate in Ruirui's body.

Slowly eliminate toxins from the body.

Some toxins have entered the blood and are difficult to eliminate.

“So domineering!”

Half an hour later, the medicine was retrieved.

According to Li Mu's instructions, the eunuchs and palace maids began to decoct the medicine.

When it was about to be served, Li Mu smelled it and put the medicine aside.

"What's wrong?"

Concubine Zhen asked.

"The medicine is poisonous."

Li Mu narrowed his eyes and glanced at the palace maids around him, then said to Concubine Zhen.

"He even poisoned me. Who was the one who brewed the medicine just now?"

Concubine Zhen could no longer bear it and shouted loudly.

"My Lady, we didn't poison you!"

Soon, three people stood out from the crowd of palace maids and eunuchs.

"If not you, then who is it?"

"We'll give it to Xiaotao after we finish boiling the medicine," said one of the eunuchs.

"Xiao Tao, is that you?"

Concubine Zhen looked at the little palace maid beside her with a sharp gaze.

The palace maid was about twenty years old, with a rosy complexion and delicate skin. It was obvious that she usually stayed by Concubine Zhen's side and had never done any rough work.

"My Lady, how dare this servant? Everyone was watching me when I was getting the medicine!"

Xiaotao immediately knelt on the ground.

"If it's not Xiaotao, then it's you three."

Concubine Zhen turned around and looked at the three of them.

From this we can see how much Concubine Zhen trusts Xiaotao.

"My Lady, when the medicine was being boiled, the three of us were present, watching each other. No one had the chance to act."

The young eunuch said anxiously.
