Chapter 70 I Must Be Lying to You



"Hey? Beauty, you're out!"

"I heard from Xiao Zhuo that you were frightened earlier. Are you okay? Do you need a doctor to check you out?"

As soon as he saw Si Muqiao appear, Tangyuan immediately ran up to her and asked with a concerned look on his face.

"No, I'm fine."

"Are you really okay? Not hurt or anything?"

"Why, little girl, are you hoping that something bad will happen to me?" Si Muqiao couldn't help but teased.

"Pfft, pfft, my beauty, please don't talk nonsense. That's not what I meant."

"Yes, I know. How is your face? Did you apply any medicine today?"

"My lady, I have applied it. Look, my face is not swollen anymore."

"By the way, my beauty, I have discovered a secret!"

When he said this, Tangyuan suddenly lowered his voice, looking mysterious.

Mingming, at this moment, there were only her and Si Muqiao in the yard.

All the eunuchs who were there before have left.

"What secret?" Si Muqiao asked curiously.

"My beauty, you may not be able to imagine that after I woke up from a nap, I suddenly felt that I had become stronger!"

"Really? If you don't believe me, I'll show you."

After saying that, Tangyuan walked into the yard, picked up a brick from the ground, and then split it in half with his hands in front of Si Muqiao.

"Beauty, look!"

"Now that I have become very strong, I can protect you in the future." Tangyuan grinned.

Looking at the dimples on her lips, Si Muqiao suddenly felt in a good mood.

I also felt a little touched for some reason.

"Okay, then my safety in the future depends on you." Si Muqiao said.

"Okay beauty, don't worry beauty!"

"My beauty, you promised His Majesty before... that you would perform the act of crushing a stone with your chest. Otherwise, let this servant do it!"

"I have thick skin and strong flesh, and I can withstand hardship." Tangyuan suddenly mentioned this.

"No need, I already have an idea for this matter, and I've asked you to prepare everything that needs to be prepared."

"Ah?" Tangyuan looked confused.

Are you ready, beauty?

How come she didn't know what her beauty had prepared?

"You'll know when the time comes." Si Muqiao kept it a secret.

After chatting with Tangyuan for a while and explaining some things, Simuqiao went into the house to read a book and practice calligraphy.

She needs to finish reading those three medical books and return them as soon as possible.

As for practicing calligraphy, you also need to persevere.

After all, the calligraphy teaching experience card is time-limited.

After she had practiced calligraphy to a certain degree, she copied down some of the more beautiful poems in her mind and gave them to Li Zhaoyi.

Li Zhaoyi knew that she was in difficulty, but she still gave her a lot of things.

She will always remember this kindness.

Now that her conditions are better, she naturally wants to give something back.

However, all these material things that she had were also possessed by Li Zhaoyi.

There's no point in sending it back and forth.

Li Zhaoyi loves poetry, the piano, and chess, so she might as well give her what she likes.

She doesn't have a good piano or good music scores.

She doesn't have any good chess pieces or good chess records.

After much thought, she decided to hand-copy a collection of poems and give it to Li Zhaoyi. This was the only thing she could do at the moment.

As for investigating the case, there was no rush. She had already set a trap and thrown out the bait.

I guess there will be results soon.

Inside the Yangxin Palace at this moment.

Murong Qingli took off his dragon robe, put on an inconspicuous guard uniform, and put on a human skin mask, then looked at the "Murong Qingli" in front of him and spoke.

"During the few hours that I am away, you should stay in the Yangxin Palace and read the memorials."

"No matter who comes, we will refuse to see them."

"Yes." His Majesty bowed his head and responded.

After finishing the explanation, Murong Qingli, who had changed his identity, turned around and left the Yangxin Palace with a portable water bottle.

After leaving the palace, he saw the carriage that Feiying had arranged to greet him outside the palace gate.

After getting on the carriage, Murong Qingli changed his clothes into moon-white casual clothes, then leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.

After about three quarters of an hour, the carriage stopped.

Murong Qingli got off the carriage and walked into an inn under the guidance of Feiying.

Doctor Gu, whom he had sent people to inquire about for a long time, was now arranged by Feiying and his men to live here.

The purpose of his coming to see Doctor Gu today was to ask Doctor Gu to take his pulse again and check his physical condition.

Murong Qingli first went into a private room of the inn, ordered some wine, meat and food, and ate slowly.

After a glass of wine, Doctor Gu finally came over under the leadership of Feiying.

"This is my client who needs medical treatment. Thank you for your help." Feiying was very polite to Doctor Gu.

After all, Doctor Gu is extremely famous throughout the Great Zhou Kingdom.

He is not only the founder of the Valley of Divine Medicine, but also known as the Medical Immortal by the people of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Five years ago, a serious plague broke out in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

It was Doctor Gu and his disciples who, without fear of life and death, finally developed a prescription to overcome the plague and saved the lives of many people.

"Dr. Gu, thank you for your help." Murong Qingli also spoke with a gentle attitude.

He has always been gentle towards people who are capable and competent.

"Well, please extend your hand, sir."

Doctor Gu nodded slightly at the two of them, then sat down, took out his pulse diagnosis bag and placed it on the table.

Murong Qingli put his hand on it as he was told and waited patiently.

After a cup of tea, Doctor Gu finished his consultation.

"Sir, you are poisoned."

"If I am not mistaken in my diagnosis, the poison you were poisoned with is the most powerful and rare poison in the martial arts world, called Shattering Poison."

"Broken?" Murong Qingli repeated.

"Exactly. The Broken Poison is very vicious."

"It is colorless and odorless, and cannot be detected by a needle. It is also impossible for ordinary people to observe it."

"People who took it didn't feel anything in the past few years, but their body functions were constantly being damaged, but ordinary doctors couldn't find out."

"When the poison takes effect, the victim's internal organs will instantly shatter into pieces, and the victim will die on the spot, and it will be impossible to find out the cause of death."

"Will this poison make me...lose my life past the age of 25?" Murong Qingli asked.

"That's right." Doctor Gu stroked his white beard and nodded.

"I wonder if Doctor Gu has any solution?" Murong Qingli's tone was as calm and peaceful as ever.

"I am ashamed and sorry, sir, you have been poisoned for too long and there is nothing I can do for you." Doctor Gu looked regretful.

"Doctor Gu, do you know of anyone who can cure the poison in my body?"

"This... As far as I know, there is no antidote for the Broken Poison. Once poisoned, death is certain."

"My lord, I am sorry."

"But I heard that she can cure my poison!" Murong Qingli said.

"Impossible! Anyone who says he can detoxify must be lying to you!" Doctor Gu said in a firm tone.

"Yeah?"

As Murong Qingli said this, he took out the water bottle he carried with him, opened it, tilted his head back and took a big gulp.

After drinking, he stretched out his arm and spoke again.

"Dr. Gu, please help me take another look."

"Hey, young master, you don't think you just drank some kind of magic medicine, do you?"

"Don't even think about diagnosing it once more. Even if I diagnose it three more times, your condition will still be the same. There is no solution."

Murong Qingli did not say anything back, but just stared at Doctor Gu with a look that contained some intimidation.

Doctor Gu felt a little frightened by being stared at and didn't dare to look into Murong Qingli's eyes.

He couldn't help but compromise and said, "Okay, okay, I'll help you take a look!"
