Chapter 182 Detoxification
"Your Majesty~"
Shen Ruyu ran over pitifully, her beautiful eyes filled with tears and her expression was sad, "Be careful, how is your body?"
The emperor coughed twice, sat down with her support, and shook his head, "I'm fine."
"Your Majesty, do you believe me?"
Shen Ruyu half-knelt on the ground, leaned on the emperor's knees, looked at him with tears in her eyes, and looked very pitiful, "I really don't know why this happened. My parents died at the beginning, and I committed myself to Mingyanfang in order to survive. It was your majesty who had a wise eye and redeemed me, took good care of me, and enjoyed glory and wealth. I have always been grateful to your majesty in my heart."
"So even if I had a hundred courages, I would not dare to poison your Majesty..."
Shen Ruyu wiped her tears and bit her lip, "I even hope that it is me who is poisoned, so that your Majesty's dragon body will not be damaged, and this will not happen..."
Putting a finger against her mouth, the emperor helped her up and said lovingly, "Don't say those words, I believe you."
"Your Majesty!" Shen Ruyu threw herself into his arms, sobbing softly.
Stroking her hair, the emperor sighed, "I've asked Xu Zhen to investigate, and also questioned everyone in Wanyan Palace, but found nothing suspicious, and Zhang Zhixun also said that there was nothing wrong with what I ate, which is strange."
Following his words, Shen Ruyu hesitated and said, "Since there is nothing wrong with the food, could it be the items I touched?"
The emperor pondered, "The things I touched here are very few, and they were all taken for inspection, and there was no problem."
This was also why he did not doubt Shen Ruyu. He knew this woman. She had no parents, no power behind her, and was alone. It was only because of him that she sat on the position of imperial concubine and enjoyed wealth and honor.
When she first entered the palace, she was often bullied because of her lack of status. It was he who raised her status, and that’s how she became unattainable.
And he didn’t trust her without reservation at the beginning. There were many people in Wanyan Palace who belonged to him. He monitored them day and night, but didn’t find anything unusual. Only then did he slowly let down his guard.
There was also a time when Shen Ruyu blocked a sword for him. It was extremely dangerous at the time. If Shen Ruyu really wanted to kill him, she could just not save him, why would she block the sword with her own body?
So gradually, she became the person closest to him.
"Your Majesty." Shen Ruyu looked up at him, hesitantly, "When I was still in Mingyanfang, I met a traveler from the Western Regions. He once mentioned that there is a kind of poison in the Western Regions that is a colorless and odorless powder. It only needs to be quietly sprinkled on a person to poison that person. No doctor can find out what it is, and there is no antidote."
"Your Majesty, do you think it could be this poison?"
Hearing this, the emperor frowned and thought, "But the details of everyone in the palace are clear, how could someone from the Western Regions sneak in?"
"Your Majesty, it may not be someone from the Western Regions. What if someone has this poison?" Shen Ruyu's eyes moved, "We still have to investigate it thoroughly, otherwise if we encounter this situation again in the future..."
It may not be possible to save him.
The emperor also knew the importance of this matter. After leaving Wanyan Palace, he gave orders.
Because the emperor's body has not recovered yet, although the morning court is held as usual, he no longer stays in the Wanyan Palace, but rests in the Qianqing Palace.
Song Mo also got the opportunity to go and take care of him.
Study.
"Father, Doctor Zhang said that you only need to take good care of yourself after detoxification. Don't be tired or smell any irritating smell."
Song Mo stood outside the desk, looking at the emperor worriedly, hesitant to speak.
The emperor waved his hands, his right hand kept moving, and after writing a line of words smoothly, he put down the pen.
"I know my body well. It's just writing a word. There's nothing wrong. You don't need to worry."
"Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine."
At this time, the eunuch outside the door brought in a bowl of medicine, and was stopped by Song Mo when he passed by him.
"Let me do it." Song Mo said in a low voice.
The eunuch hesitated, looked at him, then at the emperor, and finally compromised and handed it to him.
Looking at the bowl of black medicine in his hand, Song Mo's eyes were gloomy for a moment. In the blind spot where neither the emperor nor the eunuch could see, he quietly shook his sleeves, and instantly a pill rolled into the medicine silently.
After the pill dissolved in the water, Song Mo calmed down and walked slowly towards the emperor.
"Father, take the medicine."
Song Mo handed the medicine to the emperor, and his right hand holding the medicine bowl was slightly tense.
The emperor didn't think much about it. After taking the medicine, he drank two sips, and then suddenly, he paused.
Song Mo's heart was lifted, and his Adam's apple rolled.
The emperor stared at the bowl of medicine, wondering, "Why does it feel less bitter than before?"
Song Mo clenched his fists nervously.
At this time, the eunuch who heard the emperor's voice hurriedly said: "I know that your majesty is afraid of bitterness, so Doctor Zhang specially added an extra herb to neutralize the bitter taste of this medicine."
After hearing this, the emperor nodded and drank the rest of the medicine.
Song Mo's heart also fell.
"Okay, you don't have to wait here for me all the time, just do what you need to do." The emperor waved his hand to send him away.
Song Mo nodded, stepped back and saluted, "Father, please take care of your body, then I will take my leave first."
Looking at his back as he left, the emperor looked down at the words on the rice paper and sighed.
Has he always been overthinking?
By the time the news of the successful detoxification of the emperor reached Lin Baoer, it was already a day later.
She was looking at a leaf brought back by Xiaoqing, puzzled and curious.
"Where did you bring it back from?" She asked Xiaoqing, and then placed the oversized map on the ground.
The reason was simple, because Xiaoqing never brought anything back from outside, but this time she rarely threw this leaf on her bedside, which surprised her.
And there was no mark on the leaf, which made her even more confused.
Xiaoqing twisted her body, then crawled to a place on the map and lay down.
Looking at the three words, Lin Baoer was even more surprised.
Wende Hall.
"Did you bring it back from Wende Hall?"
The green snake nodded.
"That crazy woman gave it to you?"
The green snake nodded again.
Lin Baoer was surprised and looked through the leaves in her hand, "Why did she ask you to bring this to me?"
This time the green snake did not nod again, as if she did not understand, and crawled away to eat.
Unable to find the answer, Lin Baoer decided to find a chance to go to Wende Hall again.
...
The emperor successfully detoxified, and everyone in the Lin Mansion began to think about how to get Lin Baoer out of the palace. As soon as they mentioned this to Lin Baoer, she refused again.
