Seeing this, Ning Xuan's face still looked a little ugly, but he finally stopped.
Lu Yanluo was quite curious about this, so she asked, "Doctor Ning, I heard that you have a bad temper. Now it seems that the rumors may not be true. Concubine Xian just sent someone to beat you because of a misunderstanding, but looking at Doctor Ning's current appearance, it seems that you don't mind it very much."
According to legend, Ning Xuan is an old stubborn person. If he doesn't want to save someone, he will not say a word even if you give him mountains of gold and silver.
Ning Xuan heard this and looked at Lu Yanluo with a serious face: "Who said that I don't mind this matter? It's just that I came here to treat the emperor. There are priorities. For the emperor, this matter will be dropped. Thank you, Princess, for your help just now. Ning will remember it."
Lu Yanluo nodded lightly and left first.
Leaving Concubine Xian behind, she brought Ning Xuan to the Taiji Hall. The emperor was still unconscious at this time. Even so, Ning Xuan still followed the etiquette and kowtowed to the emperor as soon as he entered the hall, and then reached out to take the emperor's pulse.
Under Concubine Xian's nervous gaze, she moved as fast as lightning, and in less than an incense stick of time, the emperor's body was full of silver needles.
Half an hour later, the unconscious emperor suddenly struggled to get up and vomited a pool of black blood.
Just as Concubine Xian was about to go and summon the imperial physician in a panic, the emperor slowly opened his eyes and his face became a little redder.
It worked, the emperor woke up.
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Xian excitedly stepped forward, helped the man up, and said happily: "Your Majesty, you are finally awake!"
The emperor raised his hand and stroked his chest, which felt much better. He then looked at the person standing in front of the bed and immediately understood: "Is it possible to cure the poison in my body?"
Ning Xuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I have already removed some of the toxins for you. With time, I will be able to clear all the toxins from your body. Your Majesty, please be patient."
The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this and promised: "If you can cure the poison in my body, I will give you the choice of fame, wealth and honor."
Ning Xuan nodded slightly, with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
Seeing that the emperor's condition had improved, Concubine Xian quickly rewarded Ning Xuan with a batch of treasures and sent someone to personally send Ning Xuan back to Fulai Inn.
Night Palace.
Chu Xuan came back from outside and noticed that Lu Yanluo's expression looked a little solemn as soon as he entered the door.
"What's wrong?" Chu Xuan was a little surprised.
Lu Yanluo raised her head and looked at Chu Xuan, saying sternly: "The poison in the emperor's body will probably be cured in a few days. You should make plans for the affairs of the court early."
Although Lu Yanluo had never seen the situation inside the Taiji Palace with her own eyes, she had heard of Ning Xuan's name. So far, she had never heard of anyone that Ning Xuan could not save. She was afraid that the emperor would recover soon.
Chu Xuan was very surprised. The emperor was seriously ill and couldn't even attend the morning court. How could he be getting better soon?
Lu Yanluo recounted to Chu Xuan what happened at the palace gate today, and specifically mentioned the genius doctor Ning Xuan.
"I don't know why Ning Xuan is so determined to save the emperor, but as long as he takes action, the poison in the emperor will definitely be cured. It's just a matter of time."
Chu Xuan's face was cold, and there was a fierce look in his eyes: "If that's the case, then Ning Xuan can't be kept."
Lu Yanluo understood that Chu Xuan wanted to kill Ning Xuan, but the situation was far from hopeless. Ning Xuan entered the palace and gained the trust of the emperor and Concubine Xian. If he could change his stance and be used by Chu Xuan, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.
[Ning Xuan was a miracle doctor anyway, it's a pity that he died.]
After hearing this, Chu Xuan fell into deep thought. If Ning Xuan was a man who knew the current situation, then what Lu Yanluo said might be a good idea.
At night, several men in black quietly sneaked into the Fulai Inn where Ning Xuan was staying.
Ning Xuan had fallen asleep at this moment, but in his dream he inexplicably felt someone was watching him in the dark, and he woke up instantly.
For a moment he thought he was dreaming, but the next moment, a knife was placed on his neck.
"Who are you?" Ning Xuan asked in a low voice without panic, "I'm new to the capital, did you recognize the wrong person?"
"I never admitted my mistake, Doctor Ning Xuanning." In the darkness, the man in black slowly spoke: "The brothers came here today because they wanted to talk to Doctor Ning about a few things."
"Doctor Ning has traveled thousands of miles to the capital to treat the emperor's illness. What is he after? If it is for gold or silver, my master can double the amount for Doctor Ning. If it is for profit, Doctor Ning can rest assured. My master will make you famous, but the prerequisite is that you must leave the capital quietly and immediately."
Ning Xuan understood that the purpose of this group of people coming was to force him to give up treating the emperor.
"What if I don't leave? What does your master want to do? Kill me and silence me?"
The man in black smiled faintly and said, "It depends on Doctor Ning's choice. Do you want to take the bright road or the dark road?"
As he spoke, Ning Xuan pressed the knife at the side of his neck down threateningly.
"I'm sorry, but I can't do as you all wish. The emperor is not destined to die. I must save him, and no one can stop me."
The man in black felt a little regretful when he heard this: "That's such a pity. I can only send you on your way."
As he said this, he raised the knife and slashed at the side of Ning Xuan's neck, about to kill him with one blow.
Suddenly, Ning Xuan pulled out his hand hidden in the quilt, and then a cloud of white powder rose in the air.
The man in black realized something was wrong and quickly raised his hands to cover his mouth and nose, but it was too late. Everyone felt their bodies instantly go limp and they died in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that everyone on the ground was motionless, Ning Xuan slowly stood up, his eyes calm, without any trace of panic of being in danger.
The immediate noise in the house alarmed the guards sent by the emperor outside. A group of people pushed open the door and rushed in, only to see several dead bodies lying on the ground.
"This..." The guards looked at each other and had to look at Ning Da with new eyes.
This matter was not a big deal, but it happened to Ning Xuan, who was treating the emperor, and it immediately caused an uproar in the capital.
The emperor was furious. On the one hand, he sent more people to strictly protect Ning Xuan, and on the other hand, he carried the body away and investigated who sent the murderer to silence him.
For a time, the noble families in the capital were in a panic. After receiving the news, Chu Xuan did not dare to act rashly and could only keep his troops in place for the time being.
The body was carried away and sent directly to the palace, and handed over to the imperial guards for investigation.
Lu Yanluo was worried, so she took the opportunity to enter the palace and sneaked in to check. The corpse had a blue and purple face and blood was coming out of the mouth and nose. It was obvious that he died of poisoning.
All the way back to the mansion, Lu Yanluo told Chu Xuan about her discovery.
"Poisoned?" Chu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Ning Xuan is a miracle doctor. It seems he is also an expert in making poisons."
Lu Yanluo nodded and said, "I always feel that things are not that simple. This matter will not be traced to the Night Palace. You should not take action for the time being, so as not to expose yourself."
Chu Xuan nodded in agreement and agreed.
